"Secular" Riots Of India

“We're in a giant car heading towards a brick wall and everyone is arguing over where they're going to sit”
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ― David Suzuki 
                                      Things are getting murkier and scary for a section of society in the states of WB, Assam & Kerala . In this article i m going to elaborate on the explosive prevalent conditions and the deteriorating law and order in some border states of India with sizeable muslim population . Already parallels are being drawn between orchestrated violence in Malda and few other Muslim dominated districts of West Bengal and ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir during 90's. The deafening silence of media which otherwise becomes hyperactive to question intent of central govt on stray criminal incidents whenever Muslim is a victim is questionable. Any individual or organization raising finger to the ongoing tragedy is promptly labeled as "Communal" or “Islamophobic" without debate. 
                                  The difference between secularism & pseudo secularism in India has long being deliberately forgotten by politicians,left leaning intellectuals and media. It's ironic, a section of society is allowed to perpetrate crimes and secular jamaat condone barbarism in the name of safeguarding "Secularism" or propagating conspiracy theories .  In India, perception speaks louder than reality and silence is sometimes taken as an acceptance of guilt. A section of society is mischievous and yet vote bank politics allows it to play victim while squarely blaming other community for any unrest. Gutter politics and paid media are equally responsible for shielding and abating such ignominious acts of violence by one particular community to the chagrin of rest of society 
                                   India isn't immune to riots but a new worrying trend has emerged lately, in some districts where Hindus & other religious groups becomes minority while Muslims are in majority social and violent riots on trivial issues are frequent. Religious diktats (Fatwas) which doesn't have any legal authority are the order of the day and religious customs are increasingly forcibly enforced mocking and ridiculing civil administration and police authorities. Disrespecting National Flag,National Song or National Anthem isn't taboo anymore in the name of freedom to practice religion in parts of Assam,West Bengal and Kerala .
                                   In recent case of violent riots perpetrated in Kaliachak area of Malda district, a Muslim mob of around 100,000 people went on rampage against the alleged hate speech of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari. In a fit of rage,the agitators torched houses and businesses of Hindus, buses and police vehicles, ransacked government properties and set the Kaliachak police station on fire.  Kaliachak riot is not a riot as some would like you to believe rather its a single sided attack on Hindus, police and public property, a complete mayhem breakdown of administrative machinery . Kaliachak violence is a result of shameless appeasement politics of "Secular" political parties where religious bigots had a field day terrorizing people and civil administration was in shambles.

                                  Hindus and other religious groups of Malda have lost their livelihoods, forced to leave their homes became refugees in there own nation yet State government is tolerant about large scale violence.  Malda riots reminds me of Azad Maidan riots ( pretext there was Rohingya Muslim of Burma) where everyone knew what was happening but politicians and media remained tight lipped while miscreants vandalized public property even modesty of policewomen wasn't spared .Pakistani style protests are now getting frequent as "Secular" politicians and media are complicity supporting thugs to appease and cater to respective vote banks.

                                   During Dadri lynching incident, the same media and politicians went in overdrive to blame and disrepute a whole community but the same torchbearers of pluralism seems dumbstruck on Malda or Purnia violence with no word condemning such radical forces. The word "Intolerance" was coined when Ghulam Ali Concert was canceled in Mumbai yet no one seems to have noticed CM of Bengal was enthralled by him while Bengal was burning. Its also ironic that Ghulam Ali gets CM as audience while Taslima Nasreen found little support for herself from female CM.

                                 Destructive and polluted ideology are root causes of disharmony in society and should be sternly dealt with. Fiddling with appeasement based politics is only going to bolster radical forces inimical to idea of India and its inherent policy of pluralism, tolerance,freedom of expression and speech.

Pakistan -A Terrorist State

                                      Much has been said and done about the recent terror attack in Pathankot browbeating about Indian superior firepower or political chest thumping by politicians.This article isn't about strategizing or defeating our enemy but being pragmatic about available options to deal with our potent and cruel adversary. No matter what peaceniks make us believe Pakistan is a nuisance to world in general and India & Afghanistan in particular. Pakistan is an increasingly intolerant, radicalized society and even saner counseling by US,China fell on deaf ears and couldn't dissuade Pakistan from supporting terrorism despite being diplomatic and financial savior of Pakistan .
                                     Truth of the matter is there's absolutely no dearth of fresh arrival of maniacs from umpteen madrasas sprung inside Pakistan who under the influence of drugs and mullahs can unleash havoc in India. These hate filled Islamic zoombies find it enticing to blow themselves up and claim a lottery ticket of banging 72 virgins then leading a miserable life in a beggar nation . With monstrous news reports of sodomizing and killing young boys becoming a standard accepted reality in Pakistan one wonders if the clamor to get lottery ticket of sleeping with virgins is only going to get shriller.
                                   Peacenik vocal lobby in India exonerate Pakistan establishment and people of any wrongdoing while blaming imaginary non-state actors of vitiating environment by squarely blaming on such outlaws for terror attacks. The impediment to normal ties and resuming cordial dialogue process is the direct complicity of Pakistani establishment and terror organizations groomed by Pak army. Unfortunate truth is terror attack as orchestrated in Pathankot were committed by well trained maniacs and there are intelligence reports of training conducted at airforce base in Pakistan that cannot be possible without ISI patronage thus defuncting theory propagated by peaceniks some of whom are themselves on ISI payrolls(remember Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai network in USA).
                                   In our country a perception is created by vested interests to continue dialogue with Pakistan in hope of bargaining peace and every government falls in this  entrapment of resuming dialogue with Pakistan.  The harsh reality is that such ghastly attacks have always happened irrespective of any thaw or dialogue between India-Pakistan engagement. History teaches us that Pakistan believes in its cowardly proxy war as a sustainable and cheapest method of bleeding India, as no retaliatory steps overt or otherwise envisaged by Indian government to inflict similar damage of same scale to Pakistan has ever been planned or executed thus increasing the cost of proxy war for Pakistan unbearable.
                                 There's a need to radically alter our strategy vis-a-visPakistan. Older methods of trusting Pakistani governments verbal assurances shouldn't be considered seriously and routine arguments of can't change our neighbors or sharing same cultures or improved economic engagement as deterrent should be consigned to dustbin .We have in past changed our neighbors by carving Bangladesh out of Pakistan and attained peace. Dialogue or breaking up of dialogue process has nothing to do with next terror attack, we should understand its foreign policy is directed to harass and divide India and no amount of dialogue can persuade Pakistan to abandon its policy of bleeding India with thousand cuts.
                                                           Tashfeen Malik and Syed Farook
                                Lessons learnt from last terrorist attacks should be utilized to thwart next attack without relying much on other nations who couldn't pressurize Pakistan to accept negotiations and won't do more then lip service of  condemning terror acts. We need to stop sending dossiers as no diplomatic pressure can wilt Pakistan to shun its terror policy and live like civilized neighbor .We need to beat Pakistan in their own games through all possible means by increasing its cost of war . Improving our intelligence,defensive and offensive capabilities is necessity on urgent basis before Pakistan unleashes its next deadly phase of terror attack.

Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill, 2015

                                With the Rajya Sabha passing the new Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill 2015 , our parliamentarians have demonstrated a paradigm shift in there approach towards tackling crime in a pragmatic manner where the recognition of the rights of the victims is considered equally important as the rights of juveniles. The amended Juvenile Justice Bill became a necessity as 1.2% of most heinous crimes in country are committed by juveniles and over 50% are sex offences.
                                 With passage of new Bill Juvenile Board now has discretion to try juveniles committing horrendous crimes as adults between age group of 16 to 18. If the nature of the crime is critical, why stop at age 18 and not 16?  The Bill permits juveniles above the age of 16 years to be tried as adults for heinous offences if the Juvenile Justice Board finds the juvenile fit to be tried as an adult based on a preliminary assessment with regard to his mental and physical capacity to commit such an offence, ability to understand the consequences of the offence and the circumstances in which he allegedly committed the offence.
                               There's alarming rise in criminal offences involving juveniles, thus Juvenile Justice Bill was the need of the hour and it might act as deterrent discouraging juveniles while helping law enforcement agencies too.Equally important is the classification of crimes by juveniles, the young age and pitiable crime shouldn't come under the purview of the law and should be dealt leniently considering young age and scope for improvement (rehabilitation) with societal support.

                              Nation also needs to seriously debate why their is increase in number of juvenile crimes. Isn't there a wrought in society that's growing unabated and criminal offences by adolescents a true and worrying reflection to society ? Serious debate involving child psychologists & sociologists is necessary to get to the bottom and stem the rot through corrective measures .The ultimate goal of society should be the care, protection, maintenance, welfare, training, education and rehabilitation of neglected or delinquent children along with safety and wellbeing of vulnerable.

Intolerance Reloaded

                         
                                      As Ratan Tata rightly mentioned intolerance in India is confined only to tv studios. The intolerance debate raging in tv studios augmented by returning awardees whose dubious credentials aren't debated by the same paid media is gradually but surely brushed under the carpet ever since Bihar election results were declared . The unabated chest-beating by pseudo seculars and atmosphere of insecurity created by dolts reaches its zenith during electioneering and is slowly ebbing.
                               The reoccurrence of manufactured protests during consecutive state elections is a well thought out prudent strategy baffling BJP think tank. During Delhi elections alleged atrocities on Christians and desecration of sacred places in few cities,rape of an elderly nun in West Bengal were cited as reasons showing growth in intolerance towards minorities. Interestingly all Church vandalism and rape occurred in non-BJP ruled states yet Modi govt was demonized. Later after investigations, Bangladeshi immigrants were caught by investigative agencies in elderly rape of Nun thus debunking theories by imminent "secular" intellectuals who pounced on Hindu organizations for vitiating the otherwise peaceful environment. Similarly,a vitiated insecure environment of intolerance towards minorities was created during Bihar elections with tacit understanding of like minded groups who organized a well orchestrated campaign to chastise and malign Modi govt. The campaign was successful in creating fear psychosis among section of population thus polarizing electorate during state elections besides smudging Modi govt. 
                                 The debate over mudslinging communities and demonizing majority isn't new in India. It is a well conceived strategy to browbeat majority and cry victim hood when cornered. It is acceptable in India to lampoon Hinduism in the name of free speech or safeguarding secularism. There's a big,boisterous,noisy lobby who come in strength to defend such ignominious acts. This hate filled lobby that denounces everything remotely Hindu, spewing venom isn't new for them but there ignominious acts have touched higher peaks now where mocking and trivializing country's secular democratic process is justified by dolts with media hobnobbing in lopsided portrayal of country. In there mindless hatred towards Modi and in pursuit to besmirch him,these leftists aren't perturbed about tarnishing image of country. Defaming India by so called liberal dolts on world stage is an unprecedented new phenomenon .
                                 These pseudo secular torch bearers of pluralism usually find fault only with majority community and lose there voices while confronting muslim community in particular. The double standards espoused by left liberals in complicity with media only created the wedge among masses. The mass exodus of Hindus from Kashmir, Godhra riots, Sikh massacre didn't move there conscious but unfortunate ignominious stray acts of violence in non-BJP ruled state gave them godsend opportunity to defame Modi govt. The recent attack on Lokmat newspaper in Maharashtra by Muslim mob,or declaring bounty on heads of people by fundamentalists didn't come under the ambit of intolerance or attack on free speech for pseudo seculars. The dubious standard practiced by these dolts has not only bolstered miniscule islamic fundamentalists portraying whole community poorly but created a wedge in society with majority now openly questioning such lopsided disgraceful attitude of intellectuals and media .
                                 For over 68 years India was ruled by socialist leaning Congress government and it propagated religious chauvinism as purely Hindu phenomenon totally oblivious or blindsided of violence instigated by other community. For many,Muslims were always victims of violence, never its perpetrators. The left leaning intellectuals who are genetically anti-Hindu treat with contempt at everything indigenous ,such is the viciousness of dolts they rile against yoga, called Swatch Bharat a nautnki and ranted against the simple, innocuous idea of Selfie With Daughter. These vicious bigots who didn't spare Hindu Gods and Goddess, supported nude depictions by M.F Hussain paintings as artistic freedom, had there tongues bitten when Satanic Verses were banned, are now screaming of rising intolerance when ordinary people question them. Truth about Intolerance hysteria was aimed at instigating people to disown BJP and dwarf Modi govt stupendous achievements .
                                The entire campaign against alleged intolerance was a conspiracy to tarnish image of country. Truth is the central government is lead by a strong leader,dubious NGO's were banned ,corruption is reduced ,self-proclaimed intellectuals are sidelined, so,traitors are feeling the heat and venting there anger through manufactured protests.India is home to more religions than entire rest of the world put together so intolerance debate is a joke, a propaganda courtesy left liberals sidelined during 18 months of BJP rule. Raging Intolerance debate is a political agenda with vested groups for ulterior motives. 
                              Modi govt was scrutinized from day one on governance and after hairsplitting for 18 months when nothing can be pinpointed by opposition then intolerance debate came to there rescue. An ingenious idea with no reference or benchmark to compare with perception was created of insecurity among minorities to destabilize incumbent govt. It's an open secret Modi always have had tough times negotiating with some powerful media houses who are unreasonable and corrupt. Modi govt have always lost the perception battle with communal badge firmly outshined achievements of his govt. People and celebrities from different fields also get influenced with unstoppable bombardment of lopsided negative publicity of govt and the latest to join diatribe against Modi govt is Aamir Khan. 
                                   Actors who lead a cherished ,privileged life aren't intellectuals merely performers and jumping out to create hysteria without valid reasons and proofs to corroborate isn't advisable for them as many consider them icons. In India media is more becoming a nuisance with no or little control over its content, with battle of TRP's clearly self regulation is confined to dustbin.It's sad that the shameless paid Indian media didn't even give Chennai Floods even half the importance it gave to fake Intolerance Debate .We live in times, where everything we read and hear should be taken with a pinch of salt. There was a time when journalist laid their lives to raise issue of the nation, today they lay others life to make an issue. 
                          As the P.M rightly stated that India as the land of Gandhi and Buddha there's no place for intolerance in our country and every act of violence will be dealt with firmly according to law .
