It’s a wonder that in India there has been only one Nathuram Godse.
When thousands of Kashmiri Hindus were murdered, maimed, raped and “cleansed” out of Kashmir; when conversions in Kerala, West Bengal, Goa and North-East is going on hand-in-hand with slaughters; Kairana happened; Diamond Harbour transpired; it’s some wonder than only one Nathuram Godse passed us by.
Amartya Sen, that Nobel laureate who matches Manmohan Singh in skullduggery (now you know how economists fudge data), has a piece in New York Times where he fears for the “lives of minorities, particularly Muslims” in the wake of Modi 2.0. Rajdeep Sardesai, last night in his show, was frothing fire on Sadhvi Pragya even as BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya kept correcting him that the newly elected Bhopal MP is no longer a terror-accused. Shekhar Gupta wants her expelled from the parliament.
This morning, May 28, 2019, Lutyens Media, like a pig, is rolling in the filth. Indian Express is zipping on the story of a Muslim man who had has skull cap thrown on the ground (it has been proved a sham now). The naivety of Gautam Gambhir is all the ammunition they needed. The Hindu has a story where a Muslim man has been shot at. Both the newspapers have ramped up these stories on their front pages.
Both the newspapers didn’t have a word on RSS’ Prof Rakesh Sinha pointing out (a) A BJP worker killed in West Bengal and (b) hand-grenades being thrown on BJP worker. Surender Singh (Amethi) was due for a similar treatment but for Smriti Irani’s presence and the fact that she was a pall-bearer which women are never in Hindu funeral processions. Lutyens Media would never point that Asaduddin Owaisi and his All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) had association with Qasim Rizvi and his Razakars in the years when the latter was killing Hindus by thousands in Hyderabad in 1947, listed as war crimes.
Everyone keeps talking about Godse, the killer of Gandhi. Nobody mentions his source of angst. Shouldn’t we know more about him if want no more of his prototypes?
Razakars butchery of Hindus made Godse hit the streets. It also landed him up in jail. Gandhi insisting on Rs 55 crore be paid up to newly-formed Pakistan—when trains were returning from Pakistan filled with butchered Hindus—might have been the last straw, but the sense of injustice had been building up all along. Godse has outlined it all in his testament – Gandhi’s appeasement of Muslims during the Khilafat movement; assembly elections along communal lines; Direct Action Day calamity on Hindus in West Bengal etc. He felt Gandhi was taking Hindus for granted and his “appeasement” politics was emboldening Muslims to foster a sense of “persecution” and finally propelled Muslim League to gain ground. India lay dismembered into three parts in 1947. (For instance, Gandhi insisted on Quran being read in his daily prayers; did he himself or recommend Ramayana be read in mosques?)
That’s why I say it’s a wonder that India has had only one Nathuram Godse (in a way it also debunks the Saffron Terror implant for Hindus who, even under serious provocation, remain non-violent). Anand Ranganathan has chronicled over 250 instances when Hindus were attacked/killed/raped by others in Modi’s India till now. In trying to drive sense in Gautam Gambhir, OpIndia has listed several instances. NewsBred covered the rally of Kapil Mishra, formerly with AAP, on the Capital’s streets where the fiery leader mentioned several instances in Delhi NCR where murders of Hindus was blanked out in Lutyens Media (and by Arvin Kejriwal). Mishra didn’t pull his punches: “Hindus are being treated as second class citizen.”
What do we call such media and such leaders? Why Kamal Haasan has been allowed a free goal on Godse as “first Hindu terrorist?” Why there is no analysis that only BJP workers are killed and rarely from RJD, SP, BSP, CPI(M) or Shiv Sena?
The Break-India forces can only survive on polarization: Build a sense of “persecution” among Muslims; fuel resentment amongst Hindus by ignoring crime/injustices to them; tear them apart and never allow India to be one people, one nation.
The irony is, even as they criticize Nathuram Godse, Break-India forces would be filled with delight if one or more Godses emerge. That would be the stick they could beat Hindus with for another century; as they do in the case of Gandhi.
