Many of you might be infuriated at this statement, and I ask forgiveness for “all” my statements in the beginning itself. I have no intentions to hurt the sentiments of anyone, but, one needs to shout if someone, in deep slumber, has to be woken up. This raises a question as to WHO IS ASLEEP?? And raising this question itself is an example of glaring malaise amongst the Hindu’s, their almost permanent sense of being victimized, always looking out to the world to come and save them!! Has it ever worked? No!! Their attempts have landed them flat on their faces, as even a father grows sick of a whimpering child.
Now, before I proceed any further, let me clarify which Hindu’s I am ranting about. At a recent protest by Kashmiri Pandits, I chanced to see a youngster who was almost “proudly” displaying a placard which read HINDU- Humiliated Irrelevant, Negotiated, Destroyed, and Unwanted! And this is the HINDU I am talking about. This is the HINDU I detest; this is the Hindu I HATE. The main reason behind this hate being this whining and whimpering this HINDU undertakes, from time to time. Be it under years of rule by Islamic invaders or the rule under the British, this HINDU has always shamed us. This Hindu strongly believes that begging with hands out and whimpering is the only way to get his elusive justice, this is the only way that would get him near to his (unending) pursuit of a happy, contented, worriless living. Now if this is what a HINDU is, how many of you are Hindu’s? Well, I am not!!
Since, it was a Kasmiri Pandit’s protest that made me key away to frustration; I will “target” Kashmiri Pandits first!! Lately, we are seeing so many KP’s (as they fondly call themselves) on TV, in newspapers, in short –ALL AROUND. This raised a question in my mind. Where were they?? How come so many “EDUCATED”, net savvy Hindu’s are (not HINDU) up in arms (not physically) against the atrocities committed on KP’s by KM’s (I hope I don’t need to elaborate on KM)? Where was all this brouhaha before?? How come this became the opportune moment for this expression?? Could it be due to the aggressive protests by KM’s in the valley, that KP’s were jerked out of their slumber? What was frustrating (for me) was that there was no AGGRESSION in the KP voice, and by this I also mean that aggression does not mean some BIG NOISE being made in cyberspace or Board rooms, aggression is what is being shown by KM’s( of course as a result of the thoroughly misguided notion of Azadi). There is a very (very, very, very almost no) passive support for KP’s in the other parts of our nation. And we better face this truth, because this is the biggest flaw of the whole movement!!! They use “Kasmiri Pandits”, as if they are describing some endangered species that are going extinct and are in dire need of protection, as if some projects like “PROJECT TIGER” need to be initiated for their protection. Come on guys, stop this whimpering and just make one honest and passionate attempt to get (snatch) back what you have lost, you will find every Indian beside you. I am not an educated guy, but I did hear somewhere that it is a bigger sin to tolerate injustice (was it Bhagvad Gita??). And visibly it appears that KP’s have got used to injustice!! STOP SINNING. I have no intentions to delve further in this topic since I will try to keep the little focus I have, to Hindu’s. But I must say that the fiasco in Kashmir CAN NOT be understood/taken as a HINDU MUSLIM problem. The reason being, like the Kashmiri Muslim don’t find mass support amongst “Indian” Muslims (all the terror attacks are allegedly in retaliation of Babri and Gujarat, and none against alleged atrocities on KM’s), same way KP’s also don’t find such a mass support (their case is only taken to Underline the Threat of Sunni’s (Islam). And to those who have been to Kasmir it is easy to understand that it is more or less an intrinsic problem of Kshmiri’s (they could have very well solved it amongst themselves) blown out of proportion by many parties for their own vested interests. This matter if solved would be a big, big financial/political blow to many of those who are involved neck deep. So what better could be done than to keep kindling the fires and keep the matter on the FRONT PAGE (of national affairs as well as public memory). I leave the rest to the august people, to judge!!
Pandit represents Brahmins, and in current scenario in our country, where likes of Mayawati, Ram Vilas Paswan and hoards of others have made fortunes by Brahmin Bashing, you just can’t garner enough support. Take for instance in Delhi, how many Delhites were there? If there were some, they were mere onlookers!! Imagine why should a person residing in southernmost corner of our country, relate to the movement by KP’s?? Human rights violations, and atrocities on communities are happening all around, so why should they pay some special attention to KP’s?? Not only this, there are conflicting opinions amongst KP’s themselves, which was evident from the “expressions” of a young KP girl I met. Upon my asking whether she was a KP, she very proudly said-Yeah! By birth but not by practice. When I asked if she was aware of what was happening in Kashmir, her answer was that she had never been there!! Just imagine, if a single KP feels this way then where is the solidarity?? Drop this P from KP and use Hindu’s and then you have a scenario in which that person from south India sees atrocities on Hindu’s, so does every Hindu in India. And thus this movement to save an “endangered species” is transformed into a movement to save a nation and its vital interests. In this context I must make a mention of Sikhs who were recently in news for threats to them. If I am not wrong, they are also facing atrocities, same opposition as KP’s. There have been insults and massacres, but I never heard of a Sikh Exodus, why? The answer lies in the strength and philosophy of Sikhs. Over the time, due to various kinds of threats presented, Sikhs have evolved much stronger, owing to their strength of beliefs, one of them being- "It is right to use force as a last resort when all other peaceful means fail.” From the times of Guru Arjan Devji one-tenth of a Sikh's income (in money, goods or service) is earmarked for supporting the Gurdwara, the all important Guru ka Langars (free communal kitchens) intended to be shared with sense of love, respect and equality, still an important element today in any Gurdwara. Sikhs have their HEROES who laid down their lives for the PANTH. Martyrdom being an imperative and basic concept when it came to faith which is really a complete departure from the earlier dichotomies of pacific Indian HINDU traditions. Forgive my saying this, but Hindu’s knew how to defend themselves but once their beliefs were attacked they gave way, rather than rigidly defending them!!
This tirade has exhausted my concentration totally so please excuse this abrupt ending …. And please lets not be the HINDU’s I HATE , lets be the HINDU I am and I would die as - Headstrong Indian Nationalists (who are) Daring (and) United….
