SP Udayakumar has allegedly gone ‘underground’ and the Tamil Nadu
police will allow him the luxury of his grandiose delusions until the
government issues instructions to drag him out of his hole. It is intriguing
though that despite the fact that the police have issued a non-bailable warrant
against Udayakumar, the man has not surrendered and the police have not
arrested him yet. If some newspaper reports are to be believed, Udayakumar and
his gang have dug up roads in Idinthakarai to make sure police vehicles do not
enter the village. And thereby hangs a tale.
The rise of Udayakumar is symptomatic of the alarming and visible
ascendancy of Tamil Nadu Church and Tamil Islam almost simultaneously in the
state’s polity, which is cause for concern. Adherents of the Abrahamic cults
owe their political ascendancy in large measure to the country’s general public
discourse on religious minorities; in Tamil Nadu, the discourse is determined
by Dravidian political ideology. The Congress and the BJP have not managed to
change even a syllable in this anti-Nation, separatist Dravidian political
discourse of which minority-pandering is an integral component; the Congress
because politics of minority-ism is a Gandhi/Nehru creation and the BJP because
its spine is not made of stainless-steel.
The violence of Christians in the coastal districts and hamlets of
Tamil Nadu over Kudankulam and the latest in the series of Muslim violence over
the film Innocence of Muslims must be cause for concern because when the
Abrahamic religionists become assertive, separatism and secessionism are not
far away. Needless to say, separatism and secessionism are Abrahamic
politico-religious objectives. Demographic aggression achieved through
religious conversion, and terrorism running simultaneously and parallel to
shrewd NGO activism on human rights to condition the national mind in their
favour, are their tried and tested weapons.
The guilt-jerker film My Name is Khan starring Shahrukh Khan is a
milestone in this conditioning-the-national-mind exercise; it seems even the
Supreme Court, judging from its comments on Gujarat TADA cases, suffers from
Khan’s Syndrome. Soli Sorabjee came up with his own guilt-jerker and elevated
Madras High Court Lawyer Ajmal Khan to the same high table with Shahrukh Khan. http://newindianexpress.com/opinion/article1279819.ece
The writer personally found Tere Bin-Laden to be the antidote to
Khan Syndrome; not to say roll-on-the-ground funny. The film may have packaged
Islamic terrorism in comedy but the comedy, like all good comedies, spoke the
truth. Tere Bin-Laden must be made compulsory viewing for the Supreme Court
because while My Name is Khan sought to burden the country’s non-Muslims with
guilt, Tere Bin-Laden turned the tables neatly the other way round. Even the
dreaded Lashkar-e-Toiba has been lampooned mercilessly with Lashkar-e-Amreeka.
Notwithstanding the fact that the judiciary’s assembly line has
periodically delivered Muslims as ordinary judges and exalted Chief Justices to
the High Courts of the country and the Supreme Court, the opportunist Ajmal
Khan tried selling us the lemon that he was not elevated as judge to the Madras
High Court because his name was Khan and the country thought he was a
terrorist.
As if pandering to ‘Innocent Muslim’ sentiment was not enough, not
once did the country’s craven electronic media show visuals of the St. Lourdes
Mary Church at Idinthakarai or the Our Lady of Snows basilica at Tuticorin
which Udayakumar and assorted padris used and continue to use as their base
camp. It bears mention that television news channels are not half as coy or
restrained when they show us video footages of shouting, stone-throwing,
rioting Muslim mobs in Chennai, Azad Maidan, Kolkata or Amdavad; we are forced
to conclude that India’s television news channels, half Christian-half
Christianized, take their cue from across the Pacific Ocean.
In India, this has a bearing on politics of minority-ism because
while a Muslim mob looks Muslim, a Christian mob cannot be easily identified as
being Christian. And that is why the electronic media’s refusal to show the
churches from where the padris and Udayakumar and Co. were plotting their war
campaign, the churches which exhorted the faithful to march towards the nuclear
reactors, and the churches before which the mob assembled before marching
towards the reactor site, is condemnable, not to say typical of the Christian/
Christianized media’s Abrahamic double standards.
However The Hindu did carry a tell-tale picture of padris from the
Madurai-Ramnad diocese marching glumly candles in hand, protesting police
action in Idinthakarai; tell-tale because it is the Tamil brown church, funded
and prodded from behind by the white Generic Church, which is waging war
against the government and people of Tamil Nadu at Kudankulam.
· “Announcements were made by priests in a few churches in the coastal
villages of the district on Saturday morning appealing to the “devotees to join
the satyagraha on Sunday”. (The Hindu, page 11, Sunday, September 9, Protestors
plan to lay siege to Kudankulam site today)
· “In Tuticorin a crowd gathered in front of Our Lady of Snows
basilica and blocked vehicular traffic. The agitators forcibly took away four
police personnel including two women to marriage hall at Periyathaalai and
released them in the evening”. (The Hindu, Tuesday September 11, Anti-nuclear
protest turns violent)
Read this together with the fact that it is Rev. Fr. Jesuraj
(Secretary Palayamkottai Diocese) and Rev.Fr. Jayakumar (parish priest at
Idunthakarai), who with SP Udayakumar and Pushparayan are the leading kindly
lights, the Christian priestly and laity elite in the forefront of the
Anti-Kudankulam campaign of disinformation.
For one whole week this month, this unholy group spearheaded the
anti-police riots and violence along the coastal hamlets and districts of Tamil
Nadu. Again, the print media in the main takes great care not to make even
inadvertent mention of “Rev. Fr” when writing about Jesuraj and Jayakumar.
Top police officials confessed privately that “innocent”
fisher-folks, including fist-waving, leap-frogging, belligerent fisherwomen,
had spread out fishing nets on the sands of Idinthakarai and Kudankulam beach
to trap policemen on duty and drag them into the ocean. Attacking policemen,
molesting policewomen on duty, burning police vehicles and police stations, and
making the entire police force the chosen targets for violence, has become the
trademark of Abrahamic cults across the country and particularly in Tamil Nadu
– Muslims, Christians, Tamil terrorists, Tamil chauvinist lawyers of Tamil Nadu
courts and Maoists / Naxals.
Despite the sharp difference in ideologies and end objectives, these
extremist groups have found a point of convergence in Tamil Nadu – the
anti-police, anti-Hindu point. The entry of Naxals/Maoists into the state in
the garb of a “fact-finding” team, seeking to use the anti-Kudankulam unrest to
set up shop in Tamil Nadu again is evident from the tell-tale places to which
the activists belong in the report below.
Again, Tamil extremist, Tamil Christian, Tamil Muslim and Tamil
chauvinist lawyer groups converge here –
Leaders of various political parties opposed to the Kudankulam
Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) will gherao the Fort St. George on October 29 in
support of four Charter of Demands, including closure of the plant.
Talking to reporters, Manithaneya Makkal Katchi MLA MH Jawahirullah
said that people against the KKNPP were expressing their opposition in a
peaceful manner and the government sought to suppress them with the aid of
police. Police has invoked Sec. 144 in Idinthakarai and neighbouring villages
and the entire area looked like a graveyard. It should be immediately
withdrawn”, he said.
Mr. Jawahirullah said Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi (VCK) leader
Thol. Thirumavalavan and Periar Dravidar Kazhagam leader Kolathur Mani and many
others would take part in the protest. MDMK leader Vaiko is also expected to
join the protestors. (Political parties to gherao Fort St. George, The Hindu
October 18, 2012, page 5)
Members from various outfits staged demonstrations and road
blockades in different locations here on Tuesday in support of the anti-nuke
agitators in Kudankulam on Monday. The Naam Tamilar Iyakkam leader Seeman and
his followers were arrested in front of the Railway Junction here, when they
attempted to block a train. They shouted slogans against the police for
“unleashing violence” against the demonstrators, who were condemning the
nuclear project in a democratic manner. “Even at this stage of filling fuel in
the nuclear reactors, the governments can intervene and stop the KKNPP from
going critical,” the speakers said.
The Pattali Makkal Katchi president G.K. Mani and his party men
staged a demonstration on Scott Road here in the forenoon. They condemned the
“unilateral action” of the governments in establishing the KKNPP despite
protests from people from different sectors. The Viduthalai Chiruthai Katchi
functionaries also staged a demonstration near Kattabomman statue in Periyar
bus stand against the attacks on the anti-nuke protestors in Kudankulam. The
members from Madurai-Ramnad Diocese took out a march holding candles from East
Gate to St. Mary’s Church in the evening.
The students from Law College came to the road near the district
court area in support of the KKNPP demonstrators. They shouted slogans to drop
forthwith the establishment of the nuclear power plant. The Tamil Desiya
Iyakkam and Republican Youth Federation members staged a demonstration and
blocked road near Tamukkam area, the police said.
Tension had been mounting in the area after about 4,000 anti-KNPP
protesters under the banner of ‘People’s Movement Against Nuclear Energy
(PMANE) led by SP Udayakumar, moved out of the Church premises from
Idinthakarai coastal hamlet, 3 km north of Kudankulam, to the beach some 500
metres behind the N-plant, since Sunday afternoon. An unruly mob torched few
vehicles, ransacked the Kudankulam Panchayat Office and burnt some records, the
sources added.
Leaders of various political parties including P Nedumaran of MDMK,
Thol Thirumavalavan (VCK),and PMK founder, Dr S Ramadoss strongly condemned the
“brutal” police action against the ‘peacefully protesting fisher-folks’ who
want the Russian-aided KNPP shut down
Even as Tamil and Christian extremist groups and Naxal outfits
besieged Tamil Nadu, Muslim outfits launched their own attack against the Tamil
Nadu police.
For five consecutive days starting Friday, 14th September, Tamil
Nadu Muslims organized themselves to protest the offensive American film Innocence
of Muslims produced by a Coptic Christian, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, living in
America. Nakoula sought the support of another scumbag, Terry Jones, the
Koran-burning Florida pastor who, after Geert Wilders is seen as the new
Messiah come to deliver the white Christian baa-lamb from the rampaging Muslim
wolf.
The pre-meditated and scheming American Christian mind to use expat
populace living in the US to foment violence and instability in the countries
of their origin (American Cubans, Iraqis, Iranians, Libyans, Syrians,
Egyptians) was exposed yet again; it is a pity that Muslims, particularly
Muslims living in America and Europe, instead of using their intelligence and
financial wherewithal to return the insult by making their own film, unfortunately
like Skinner’s rats, reacted to Christian provocation by letting loose
organized violence on streets across the world, including in India, whose
people had nothing to do with American provocation.
The Generic Church and its evil designs must therefore be first
defeated with the mind. In Chennai, after Friday namaaz on 14th September,
Muslims marched to the American Consulate on the arterial Anna Salai (Mount
Road) located a few yards away from the Thousand Lights mosque, also on Anna
Salai. Considering that anti-American violent protests were already raging in
several world capitals, Muslim reaction in Chennai can only be termed ‘late’ by
Muslim standards and almost an after-thought.
Muslims in Kolkata took to the streets a good 10 days after the
protests subsided in Chennai and Gujarat’s Muslims let loose organized and
pre-meditated violence by burning vehicles on the streets of Amdavad, burning a
police station and molesting women police constables. This was Abrahamic SOP.
We are shocked at yesterday’s [3 October 2012] incidents in
the old city [Ahmedabad] and we strongly condemn the violence perpetrated by
miscreants during yesterday’s protest rally. Attacking and burning of vehicles,
police personnel and the only women police station in the old city is highly
condemnable and unaccepted behaviour. It is very clear that the protest
yesterday was instigated by certain people with vested interests, with the help
of certain miscreant elements from the Muslim community, who have been wooed over
the past year. We have a hunch that with elections already announced and no
other way of creating trouble probably this is a route which has been taken by
those who want to polarise the voters.

Thus spake the NGO industry, their plaintive whine saturated with
fear that the Khan Syndrome was self-destructing under their noses. Muslim
violence was no longer about protesting against Innocence of Muslims; it was
about demonstrating to the world the global Muslim network which can bring
Muslims to the streets at short-notice and their capacity for orchestrated and organized
violence. The Chennai mob and the mob in Kolkata and Amdavad were on the
streets to demonstrate the same.
In true Srinagar “innocent misguided Kashmiri youth” style, a 2000
strong Muslim mob in Chennai came out of their mosques after Friday namaaz,
marched along Anna Salai and began to pelt shoes, stones and other improvised
missiles at the walls of the American consulate. The surprisingly few security
personnel, stationed outside on the road, stood by helplessly as the Muslim mob
attempted to enter the consulate premises. The Chennai police arriving on the
scene in classic Indian film style, at the very end of the film, shooed the
Muslims away. This is not the police the writer knows so well.
So why did Chief Minister Jayalalithaa allow the Muslim mob to
approach the consulate in such large numbers despite posters plastered on
arterial roads the day before which openly declared Muslim intent to march to
the American consulate? Why did she compel the TN police to take a soft line
for five consecutive days? And why did the Commissioner of Police take the
fall?
We may never know the answer, but at the end of the five-day
charade, poor Commissioner Tripathy was made the sacrificial Bakrid lamb and
transferred. Another case of where the rioters are let off scot free and the
police is punished. When it comes to dealing with violent adherents of the two
aggressive Abrahamic cults and violence-prone Tamil chauvinists, the country’s
police is damned if it does and damned if it doesn’t.
Five events in Tamil Nadu’s recent history prove that what seems to
be sudden and accelerated Abrahamic aggression in public spaces is not so
sudden as generally perceived but the result of calibrated and well-planned
political strategy –
- Hundreds of Muslims belonging to Tauheed Jamaat and Tamil
Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam collecting at the Lalit Kala Academy which was
hosting the FACT exhibition on Aurangzeb in March 2008
- The bloody and violent TN lawyers-police clashes that rocked the
state for a greater part of 2008-’09 culminating in the events of February 7-9,
2009 in the Madras High Court; the lawyers were rioting with posters of LTTE
chief Velupillai Prabhakaran in their hands
- Paramakudi riots of September 2011
- Anti-Kudankulam protests in September 2012
- Muslim riots against an American film insulting Muslim religious
beliefs in September-October 2012
The visibility and political violence of the Abrahamic religionists
has been caused in very large measure by -
1. The rise of jihadis like Palani Baba, Basha, Kerala’s Abdul
Nasser Madhani, Imam Ali, Hyder Ali
2. The elevation of Emmanuel Sekaran Devendrar, a dalit Christian
political leader belonging to the Devendra-Vellalar community to the status of
‘Guru’ for whom ‘Guru puja’ (another Hindu custom pirated and perverted by
Indian Christians as part of Mission Enculturation) is performed with great
fanfare by John Pandian
3. The rise of John Pandian in Tamil Nadu politics belonging to the
same community as Emmanuel Sekaran and his political heir with a propensity for
muscular and violent activism
4. The increasing visibility of Tamil Church, padris and nuns,
Christian fisher-folk and Christian politicians like Vaiko and Church-funded
new, splinter Dravidian political parties in the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, and in
Kudankulam
5. The sudden rise of mammoth churches in prime localities in
Chennai signifying huge money power
6. The mushrooming of small churches, prayer houses and roadside
Jesus and Mary shrines simply to deter Hindus from building traditional
Mucchandi Ganesha shrines
Readers may see the quantum of White Christian foreign funds coming
into Tamil Nadu for brown churches and Christian NGOs which in turn allegedly -
- Fund political parties,
- Fund television channels
- Set up departments of human rights, mass communication and
journalism in Tamil Nadu colleges and universities
- Fund political activism
- Religious conversion and
- Provide the wherewithal to build small and big churches simply to
occupy public space as a part of their larger agenda in politics of public
spaces.
The FCRA website of the Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI lists all NGOs
receiving more than one crore rupees every year and as readers will see, nearly
90% of the NGOs on this list are Christian NGOs.
The visibility and political violence of the Abrahamic cults is
driven also by the creation of new Christian, Tamil chauvinist and Muslim
outfits like -
1. Vaiko’s MDMK
2. Ramdoss’ PMK
3. Dalit Panthers
4. Viduthalai Chiruthai,
5. Anaithindiya (All-India) Thamizhaga
(Tamil) Munnetra Kazhagam (progressive front)
6. Christhava Makkal Katchi (Christian
Peoples’ Party)
7. Christian Munnetra Kazhagam
8. Christian Democratic Front
9. Tauheed Jama-at
10. Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam
11. Manithaneya Pasarai and
12. Manithaneya Makkal Katchi
The names listed above constitute only the very tip of a massive
iceberg; a comprehensive list of all these outfits may be accessed at this
government website which lists 110 such Tamil-extremist, Muslim and Christian
outfits from serial numbers 37-147.
This country’s perverted discourse on human rights and an equally
perverted applied discourse in anti-Hindu, anti-police & army secularism,
as crafted first by Gandhi as Congress creed and then implemented by Nehru as
independent India’s governing political principle, has ensured that no
government or government agency will act against them. If anything, the
country’s judiciary and media have been the loudest proponents of their human
rights. The NGO industry has succeeded in making the human rights of the
Abrahamic so-called minorities and the human rights of Hindus and the country’s
armed forces and police a zero sum game.
It all began in 1946. On 1st July 1946, communal riots broke out in
Amdavad on rath yatra day. Morarji Desai the then Minister of Home and Revenue
in the Government of Bombay, calls in the military to deal with the riots.
Gandhi, as was his wont, gave Morarji Desai a dressing down and orders him to
withdraw the military. Gandhi for good measure added that if Morarji Desai
could not withdraw the military he should ask them to do policing.
Quite impervious to Muslim capacity for violence, Gandhi told
Morarji Desai that the military should not carry rifles when dealing with
communal riots. “They may not carry rifles and if they carry bayonets, these
should be used sparingly. Don’t mind if a few have to die. They have been
trained to act like monkeys. Under your administration they should cease to be
monkeys and become human beings”. (Letter to Morarji Desai Poona July 1, CWMG
Vol.99, pp 222-3)
The manner in which successive Dravidian Tamil Nadu governments have
dealt with Muslim violence on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi processions is
the direct legacy of Gandhian prescription in 1946-47 to deal with rioting
Muslims. Gandhi did not address the question and no Hindu in the INC or outside
has ever raised the question, “Why should Muslims object to Hindus going in a
procession on rath yatra day and Ganesh visarjan day”?
The writer was sitting in the local police station a month ago and
overheard the station Inspector speaking on the phone. It is a little known
fact that under instructions from the Chief Minister/Home Secretary, the police
as SOP will not to allow Hindus to carry their Ganeshas in a procession on any
road where there is a mosque.
Villainous Hindus may think that this is the most sensible way to
avert Muslim violence; but from 1946 till 2012, the nation’s polity has not
raised the question why Muslims object to Hindu religious processions passing
by their mosques? And because India’s foolish Hindu secularists do not want to
confront Muslim proclivity for violence and therefore choose the easier option
to advise Hindus to take a circuitous route, the Muslim community takes it for
granted that it is their religious and political right not to allow Hindus to
go in a procession not only on roads where there are mosques, but even in
localities where they are in a majority.
Hindu cowards will not answer this question, but the answer to why
Muslims will not allow any Hindu procession on what is politely termed
“sensitive roads” may be found in the events of 1946 soon after the Muslim
League proclaimed Direct Action Day on August 16, 1946. Muslim mob violence
that the country witnessed repeatedly in 2012 in the month of Ramzan, too has
its antecedents in 1946.
It is critical to recall 1946 to mind if only to dispel any delusion
idiot Hindus may have that when Muslims congregate on the streets in large
numbers it is a carnival. Mosques, like churches, are not just places where
their adherents congregate for prayer, but also war offices where they gather
to plot their war strategy. When the Muslim League proclaimed Direct Action,
not only were calls made from mosques and madarasas to unleash jihad against
Hindus, but leaflets proclaiming jihad surfaced across the country.
Mr. Jinnah declared, “What we have done today is the most historic
act in our history. Never have we in the whole history of the League done
anything except by constitutional methods and by constitutionalism. But now we
are obliged and forced into this position. This day we bid good-bye to
constitutional methods. Sardar Abdul Rab Nishtar was reported to have said that
Pakistan could only be achieved by shedding blood; and if opportunity arose,
the blood of non-Muslims must be shed, for Muslims are no believers in ahimsa.
Khwaja Nazimuddin (Home Minister in the Muslim League Bengal Provincial
Government) declared that Leaguers were not pledged to non-violence.
It was in the month of Ramzan that the Holy Quran was revealed. It
was in this month of Ramzan that 313 Muslims were victorious through the grace
of God over many Kaffirs in the battle of Badr and the jehad of Muslims
commenced.
By the grace of God we are ten crores in India but through bad luck
we have become slaves of the Hindus and the British. We are starting jehad in
Your Name in this very month of Ramzan. We promise before You that we entirely
depend on You. Pray make us strong in body and mind – give Your helping hand in
all our actions – make us victorious over the kaffirs – enable us to establish
the Kingdom of Islam in India and make proper sacrifices for this jehad – by
the grace of God may we build up in India the greatest Islamic kingdom in the
world.
The sword of Islam must be shining on the heavens and will subdue
all evil designs. We Muslims have had the Crown and have ruled. Do not lose
heart. Be ready and take your swords. Think you Muslims, why we are under the
kaffirs today. The result of loving the kaffirs is not good. Oh kaffir, do not
be proud and happy. Your doom is not far and the general massacre will come. We
shall show our glory with swords in hands and will have a special victory.
(Direct Action Day and After, Excerpts from Chapter Two, Stern Reckoning: A
Survey of Events Leading up to and Following the Partition of India by GD Khosla)
Kottaimedu in Coimbatore, Melvisharam and Arcot in Vellore,
Melapalayam in Tirunelveli are symptoms of Muslim ascendancy in Tamil Nadu.
These are walled localities and police-proof, signifying that for Muslims, Islamizing
the rest of India continues to remain the unfinished agenda of partition.
Muslim street power under this pretext or that signals the beginning
of renewed jihad to Islamize India, and Christian mob power as seen in the
Madras High Court and other courts under the pretext of speaking for Sri
Lanka’s Tamil-speaking populace, and now across the state against Russian
reactors in Kudankulam, signals the Generic Church’s readiness to make the
final push to Christianize India part by part.
Unlike Islam which has no use for any other weapon besides jihad,
the Church penetrates the Hindu body as one small solitary cancerous cell which
then preys upon the very body which housed it and spreads fast like a disease
until the hospitable body is wasted.
How have governments, the media and the country’s judiciary
responded to Tamil extremism and Abrahamic violence? Let us begin with the
immanent wisdom of our judges in the Supreme Court while holding forth on the
issue of Salwa Judum, the counter-insurgency peoples’ group to Maoist/Naxal
terrorism in the BJP-ruled state of Chhattisgarh.
Going by the words of the judges themselves, it is clear that their
views and therefore the judgment pronounced have been inspired in no small
measure by bleeding heart NGOs and activists who screech for the human rights
of jihadis, proselytisers and Maoists every time either the concerned
government or the victims organize themselves to hit back at the terrorists.
Nandini Sundar, the petitioner in this infamous case, inheriting the
“subaltern academic cum activist” mantle from Neera Chandhoke and Arundhati
Roy, went to the Supreme Court against the BJP-ruled state of Chhattisgarh.
We, the people as a nation, constituted ourselves as a sovereign
democratic republic to conduct our affairs within the four corners of the
Constitution, its goals and values. We expect the benefits of democratic
participation to flow to us all of us so that we can take our rightful place in
the league of nations befitting our heritage and collective genius.
The State of Chhattisgarh claims that it has a constitutional
sanction to perpetrate, indefinitely, a regime of gross violation of human
rights in a manner, and by adopting the same modes, as done by Maoist/Naxalite
extremists.
The State of Chhattisgarh also claims that it has the powers to arm,
with guns, thousands of mostly illiterate or barely literate young men of the
tribal tracts, who are appointed as temporary police officers, with little or
no training, and even lesser clarity about the chain of command to control the
activities of such a force to fight the battle against alleged Maoist
extremists.
People do not take up arms, in an organized fashion, against the
might of the State, or against fellow human beings without rhyme or reason.
Survival, and according to Thomas Hobbes, a fear of lawlessness that is encoded
in our collective conscience, we seek an order. However, when that order comes
with the price of dehumanization, of manifest injustices of all forms
perpetrated against the weak, the poor and the deprived, people revolt.
That large tracts of the State of Chhattisgarh have been affected by
Maoist activities is widely known. The situation in Chhattisgarh is undoubtedly
deeply distressing to any reasonable person. What was doubly dismaying to us
was the repeated insistence, by the respondents, that the only option for the
State was to rule with an iron fist, establish a social order in which every
person is to be treated as suspect, and any one speaking for human rights of
citizens to be deemed as suspect, and a Maoist.
In this bleak and miasmic world view propounded by the respondents
in the instant case, historian Ramchandra Guha, noted academic Nandini Sunder,
civil society leader Swami Agnivesh, and a former and well reputed bureaucrat,
E.A.S. Sarma, were all to be treated as Maoists, or supporters of Maoists.
We must state that we were aghast at the blindness to constitutional
limitations of the State of Chhattisgarh and some of its advocates in claiming
that anyone who questions the conditions of inhumanity that are rampant in many
parts of that state ought to necessarily be treated as Maoists, or their
sympathizers, and yet in the same breath also claim that it needs the
constitutional sanction, under our Constitution, to perpetrate its policies of
ruthless violence against the people of Chhattisgarh to establish a
Constitutional order. (Writ Petition (Civil) No. 250 of 2007, Nandini Sundar
and Ors. Versus the State of Chhattisgarh)
As Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court Aryamma Sundaram pointed out
in Chennai a few months ago, it does not bode well for the country to have an
activist judiciary which leads to judicial overreach; it is worse when our
judges are driven by NGOs and human rights activists and are tempted to
encroach in the executive domain. As things stand today, there is really no
systemic devise to discourage and neutralise judicial activism often crossing
the well-defined, dividing line and trespassing into the domain of elected
governments constituting gross judicial impropriety.
In this instance, the Supreme Court functioned under the presumption
that it has the unchallenged right to dictate to an elected government about
how to fight insurgency and terrorists.
In its affidavit, the Chhattisgarh government stated, “that between
2004 to 2010, 2298 attacks by Naxalites occurred in the State, and 538 police
and para military personnel had been killed; that in addition 169 Special
Officers, 32 government employees (not police) and 1064 villagers had also been
killed in such attacks; that the SPOs form an integral part of the overall
security apparatus in the naxal affected districts of the State; and that the
Chintalnar area of Dantewada District is the worst affected area, with 76
security personnel killed in one incident”.
Maoist terrorists make the police force their chosen targets; the
intention being to allow them unfettered access to villages and villagers. To
discourage any attempt by villagers to seek refuge in government relief camps,
these terrorists have no compunction about attacking relief camps too.
According to the affidavit of the Chhattisgarh government in the Supreme Court
–
The appointment of SPOs is necessary because of the attacks against
relief camps for displaced villagers by Naxals; that the total number of
attacks by Maoists between 2005 to 2011 were 41, in which 47 persons were
killed and 37 injured, with figures in Dantewada being 24 attacks, 37 persons
killed and 26 injured.
With all these facts before it the Supreme Court nevertheless felt
compelled to justify Maoist terrorism with the observation –
People do not take up arms, in an organized fashion, against the
might of the State, or against fellow human beings without rhyme or reason....However,
when that order comes with the price of dehumanization, of manifest injustices
of all forms perpetrated against the weak, the poor and the deprived, people
revolt.
The wise judges of the Supreme Court have pronounced as part of
their judgement, that terrorists who pick up arms against the state and
ordinary people have rhyme and reason for doing so. And that is why the Supreme
Court in its infinite wisdom has provided Maoist/ Naxal terrorism the fig-leaf
“people revolt”. In human rights industry jargon, terrorism is ‘people revolt’
and terrorists are ‘rebels’.
Indeed! This priceless Supreme Court logic, derived from subaltern
academics like Ramachadra Guha and Nandini Sundar, and from activists like
Swami Agnivesh, Mahasweta Devi, Sandeep Pandey – Naxal sympathisers all, holds
equally good for jihadis and their sympathisers Arundhati Roy, Gautam Navalakha
and Ram Puniyani.
The Supreme Court and Nandini Sundar are equally guilty of
dehumanizing the police force, the SPOs and the ordinary people in relief camps
killed by the Maoists by making their deaths invisible and inconsequential.
By Supreme Court reasoning, the rioting Muslim mobs in Mumbai’s Azad
Maidan, in Chennai, in Kolkata and in Amdavad should also be termed ‘people
revolt” because these rioters also claim they had rhyme and reason; these riots
too were the result of “manifest injustices” which the Muslim community,
seeking refuge behind the Supreme Court, pointed to as being the cause for
Ramzan riots.
The only species to which Supreme Court logic does not apply is the
Hindus of the country, Hindus of Gujarat in particular and Narendra Modi.
- On 30 October, 1990, Mulayam Singh Yadav, both eyes fixed firmly
on Muslim votebank, opened fire against Srirama bhaktas in Ayodhya on the banks
of the sacred Sarayu River
- Lalu Prasad Yadav dismissed the jihadi genocide of Hindu men,
women and children in the Sabarmati Express as “only karsevaks were killed” and
ordered a probe by Justice UC Bannerjee whose funny report exonerating jihadis
was dismissed by the Gujarat High Court in 2006
- Following faithfully in the footsteps of Indira Gandhi’s Home
Minister Gulzarilal Nanda, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Home Minister P
Chidambaram ordered the midnight crackdown on Baba Ramdev and thousands of his
bhaktas, ordinary Hindu men, women and children
- While “people revolt” because of “manifest injustices” logic is
applied to jihadis and Maoists, the same logic is not applied to Sadhvi Pragya
and Swami Aseemanand and this is Hindu bhumi
The twisted political discourse which influences government response
to Hindu anger and judicial response to Maoist terrorism influenced the
judiciary also in the case of the violent lawyer-police clashes on February 19,
2009.
While the five member bench which was constituted to enquire into
the issue of pro-LTTE and pro-Prabhakaran slogan shouting lawyers who barged
into a court in session and assaulted Dr. Subramanian Swamy and litigants and
visitors, did not hold even one sitting, another bench of the Madras High Court
punished the police force by holding them in contempt of court. The then Chief
Justice of India, KG Balakrishnan also held senior police officers responsible
for the clashes and had them shunted out of office.
The prevailing public discourse in the country in government,
administration and judiciary is – governments cannot act firmly against
terrorists, rioters and even small-time petty anti-social elements if they
belong to the Abrahamic minorities or if they are Maoists supported by those
whom Arun Shourie labels ‘eminent’ subaltern historians and academics. Hindus
have no right to anger against Abrahamic minorities operating from within the
secularism armour, police have to grin and bear it when they are killed, when
they are physically assaulted, when police stations are set on fire.
This perverted governing political ideology owes its existence in
equal measure to Gandhi and Nehru. Gandhi who refused to go to Bengal when
Hindus were burning in jihadi fire but went there when the fire had already
burnt itself out and castigated Hindus for living in fear and allowing
themselves to be raped and forcibly converted to Islam instead of committing
suicide. Gandhi whose words had no impact on the Muslim League or the Muslims
but who threatened to go on a fast-unto-death in Bihar’s Hindus continued to
avenge the death of Hindus in Bengal.
Nehru who declared that the threat to post-vivisection Hindu India
was not from communists, or Muslims who remained in India because they thought
partition had left them with an unfinished agenda, but self-conscious political
Hindus who understood the political objectives of the Abrahamic cults.
This political discourse has unleashed Christian missionaries upon
the nation, has empowered the Muslim community through artificial mechanisms
like the Sachar Committee report and Equal Opportunities Commission, has kept
J&K perennially on the brink, has pushed the country’s North-east into the
arms of the predatory church, has disempowered ordinary Hindus educationally,
economically and politically, has created dangerous Muslim majority and
Christian majority regions not only in Kerala after 1947, but now in Andhra
Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
It is this perverted political governing principle called politics
of minority-ism which has given birth to this new multi-headed monster called
anti-Hindu, anti-police, anti-establishment Tamil-Tamil Muslim-Tamil
Christian-Maoist alliance in Tamil Nadu politics. The Tamil secessionist
movement in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka is supported openly by the brown church,
covertly by the Generic Church, while Muslims watch alertly from the sidelines
to take away their piece when the church makes its final push for secession.
Continuing anti-Kudankulam protests, that SP Udayakumar is still
loose, lawyers-police violent clashes, negative trends in the judiciary,
government control and impoverishment of Hindu temples, growing visibility of
beef in Tamil Nadu, depleting cattle wealth... are all indices of Hindu
disempowerment which is proportionate to the growing ascendancy of the
Abrahamic cults. These are also manifest symptoms of a tectonic imbalance in
religious demography.
