Demolition Of So Called Babri Masjid
When the Babri Masjid was demolished, there was only one comment all over the world that Hindu militants have destroyed the mosque in Ayodhya, thus hurting the feelings of Muslims of the whole world without understanding the real cause of such an incident. Following the Ayodhya incident, Hindus and Bharat bashing became a fashion with all Muslims of the world and many Sikhs as well, irrespective where they were living, even may be living in Bharat, Muslim countries or in western countries.
One could possibly make an objective understanding of the developments at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 through an editorial in the old issue of KESARI magazine (26th May, 1908) of Lokmanya Tilak titled "The true meaning of bomb explosion" which was widely acclaimed in those days. It said, "Those who wielded power remained unresponsive to public opinion. Due to their obduracy, Bengali youths lost their balance and the mob exploded. The responsibility for the developments on Ayodhya on 6th December 1992 should squarely be placed on the thoughtlessness and adamant attitude of the powers that be."
The government must remember the advise of Spencer. He said when a man cannot see a ray of hope in the surrounding situation, his thinking power deserts him. When the government constantly ignores public opinion, it is no longer possible for the society to keep its equilibrium, senseless incidents like bomb explosions take place. In such a situation, the government should behave like a wise person and bring about proper changes in the administration.
Most Hindus were fed up with the congress party's pampering of Muslims for their vote. All Muslim demands are readily met by the congress party and pseudo-secular politicians even at the cost of national interest of Bharat. The most glaring act by the congress party was the unprecedented legislation that retroactively overturned a supreme court ruling in favour of a poor old Muslim woman Shah Bano, seeking the most elementary alimony rights from her husband in her old days. The supreme court verdict was made null and void by the congress party just to appease the Muslims.
Bhartiya Muslims are governed under a separate Muslim civil code based on the Koran, which it is argued, not only alienated Muslims from the main stream, but is also unfair to other communities of Bharat. All reforms get stalled, primarily because of Muslim opposition and the Congress party's fear of losing Muslim votes should those suggested reforms be implemented. Many Muslim countries do not observe prophet Mohammed's birthday as a holiday, but it has been made a holiday in Bharat, although Bharat is a Hindu majority country.
In Bharat, a Muslim can have four wives while many Muslim countries do not allow more than one wife at a time to its citizens. Bharat even passed a "Places of Worship" act in 1992 in favour of Muslims. Already there are many general and educational laws and Minority Commissions in Bharat for favouring Muslims. Many laws discriminate against the majority Hindu population.
In Bharat there are special laws for Muslims that exempt them from the general laws of the country like marriage, divorce or property which are applicable to the rest of the population. This leads to the subjugation and total slavery of Muslim women and causes isolation of secular Muslims like Salman Rushdie.
The Muslims are the largest minority community of Bharat, roughly 12 percent or 100 million strong and control the swing of votes in all the elections. The congress party always almost exclusively try to guard its hold on the Muslim vote bank. Over the years more than 20 million Bangladeshi Muslims have entered Bharat illegally and they have been provided ration cards and Bhartiya citizenship to create vote banks for congress, communist and pseudo-secular parties.
Many countries of the world do not have 100 million people as its population. Such a strong community should never be considered a minority community and no special concession be available to such a large community.
The congress party which was the ruling party for most of the formative years of Bharat, almost fifty years since independence has been following the policy of chasing short term gains with the appeasement of sectarian and parochial elements, whether they be Muslims, Christians, tribals, Communists, Sikhs or the numerous castes and sub-castes. Different quotas were fixed for different communities which caused rivalries amongst communities. Sometimes it caused a backlash of majority Hindu community.
After the demolition of Babri Masjid, in all the Muslim countries, wherever there were Hindu temples, they were destroyed and Hindu population was harassed, murdered or converted to Islam. There was no justification for Muslim countries like Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan to harass their minorities or allow the demolition of their places of worship. There is no scarcity of riots, terror and assassinations instigated by Muslim extremists in these countries as their mission is of Islamising the infidels and ruling the world by Koran. Therefore to pickup Bharat as if it was the only country where communal riots need world attention, is myopic.
Hindus have blamed Hindus, Muslims have blamed Hindus and even the western world has blamed Hindus. Meanwhile Muslims are indulging in similar acts of violence in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran and other countries. In these countries Hindu temples have been destroyed in the wake of Ayodhya incident. Does the whole blame lie with one community i.e. Hindu community for starting the trouble.
The periodic conflicts between Hindus and Muslims from time to time have many origins, some of which are socio-political kind and some are of a socio-economic kind and most of which go back deep into history. Bharat forgets and forgives. It recoils only in violence only in self defence and will always do so. It never goes for conquests or proselytisation. If one really wants to know how tolerant and secular Hindus are, ask the Jews and Zoroastrian of Bharat. In the book, "Indian Jews in Israel" (published by the Israeli Consulate General in Bharat) it is written that, "Throughout their long sojourn in Bharat, nowhere and at no time were (the Jews) subjected to the intolerance, indiscrimination or persecution."
Hindus believe in not only in universal tolerance but also accept all religions as true and valid religions and therefore respect all religions. The ordinary Muslims should get together and should talk about their future. Bharat is their country as much as anybody else's. Can they live happily and peacefully by making Hindus their enemies in Bharat? How long can any army protect a community or a mosque?
The solution is not in the army, it is in the realization that the majority community can also have genuine grievances and it is incumbent upon the minority to appreciate that grievance and work with the majority to redress them in a fair manner. It is high time for the Muslim populace to take its destiny into their hands, rather than let the mullahs decide it for them. Some secular Muslims are already asking for such a change. These secular minded Muslims should appeal to Bhartiya Muslims, that they should now awaken to the truth regarding Ramjanam-bhoomi and other Hindu shrines where Muslim structures and motifs are superimposed on Hindu temples and other buildings.
Shri Mukhtyar Abbas Naqvi, President of the Bhartiya Muslim Yuba Sammelan once told what is happening in the Muslim world. He said that the first mosque of Islam, built by none other than the Prophet himself has been demolished by the Saudi government and converted into a royal palace. In another instance, Naqvi pointed out, some time ago Muslim fundamentalists pulled down Mohammed Sahib's house to erect a club building. The third instance quoted by Naqvi pertained to the site Jannat-Ul-Baqi where many a great Islamic personage including the daughter of Prophet Mohammed were reposing, awaiting qaymat (judgement day). That haloed spot was levelled with American collaboration to put up a five star hotel.
Ayodhya was not a dispute between Hindus and Muslims. The so called mosque was built by an invader and the fact that he happened to be a Muslim is irrelevant. The structure was an assault on Hindus and therefore on Hindutva. There can be no Hindu society without Hindutva.
What the Karsevaks (volunteer workers) did at Ayodhya was "merely to demolish a symbol of alien arrogance and simultaneously to overturn the ingrained Hindu mindset of defeatism, masquerading as moral superiority." Hinduism is not a proselytising religion and Hindus are not in the habit of destroying other people's places of worship. Even in Bharat, no other mosque was touched, while hundreds of Hindu temples were destroyed and Hindus were driven from neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Ayodhya temple has to be liberated and can only be done by defying the government, not a secular government but a pseudo-secular government that was itself a party to dispute. It is ridiculous that a party that was itself party to a dispute wanted to be an arbiter in such matters. A state that can interfere in religious and similar ecclesiastical matters cannot be secular one and as long as Bharat does not have secular state in the real sense and therefore a genuine secular government, the Hindus have to take matters in their own hands for the very survival of the Hindu society depends on defending Hindutva.
