Secularism & Hindu Fundamentalism - A Rejoinder to Pseudo-Secularists : Shri S.S.Bankeshwar
image : indpride.com

It seems that our Pseudo-Secularists have nothing to write or talk about except 'Hindu Fundamentalism', 'Babri Masjid' and 'BJP'. I am sick and tired of their vicious tirade against the BJP in particular and the so-called Hindu Fundamentalism in general.

'Hindu Fundamentalism' is a contradiction in terms. In the first place, the Hindus have never been fundamentalists. The so-called Hindu Fundamentalism is in fact a backlash of Muslim Fundamentalism nurtured by our pseudo-secularists.

Never in our history have Hindus ever been ruled by the Shankaracharyas or the priests. They have never interfered in the administration of the country. The Islamic countries have always been ruled by the mullahs and the Islamic fundamentalist. Why has democracy failed in all countries dominated by Muslims? The reason is very simple. Islam never asked for democracy. You cannot cite a single Muslim dominated country where democracy has survived for five years. If at all democracy has succeeded and survived in any Muslim dominated country in the world, it did only for a short while as in Pakistan and Bangladesh, thanks to the Hindu influence and Hindu blood in their veins. 98% of the Muslims in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are ex-Hindus converted to Islam by force and violence.

Let me cite an instance of Bangladesh which was liberated by India. Bangladesh was declared a secular state by Sheikh Mujibur Rehman. What did happen thereafter? He was assassinated soon after this declaration and Bangladesh became yet another Islamic country in our sub-continent!

Now, look at the psyche of the Muslims of our sub-continent. Wherever they are in a majority (Pakistan and Bangladesh) they want an Islamic state and when they found themselves to be in majority even in a district in our secular India, they demanded and fought for an Islamic district, for instance, the Mallapuram district in Kerala which was graciously granted to them by our pseudo-secularists.

The Muslim League which fought for Pakistan as a separate land for the Muslims of our sub-continent, still exists in India. It had and still has alliances with the Congress(I), the United Janata Dal and the Communist parties. Can you ever imagine the Hindu Mahasabha being allowed to function in Pakistan or Bangladesh?

The "Hindu Fundamentalism" is a myth created by our pseudo-secular political parties. What we are witnessing today is a reaction by the Hindus to the consistent and increasing appeasement policy followed by our bogus secular parties, pandering to the Muslim communalism.

Secularism is a much misunderstood concept in India. According to Webster's dictionary, secularism is a system of doctrines and practices that rejects any form of religious faith and worship. Our 'secularists' use it to express exactly the opposite - respect for all religions, a Hindu concept.

Ours is a non-denominational state and not a secular state. There is no official state religion in India, but due respect is given to all religions. Only atheists and agnostics, who constitute a microscopic minority in our country, can be called true secularists. How many of our people who profess secularism are atheists or agnostics? Our 'secularists' dare not say that they are atheists or agnostics, as they will lose the votes of all those who believe in one religion or the other.

Babri Masjid is a monument of Babar's invasion while Ram Janmabhoomi is a symbol of Indian Nationalism. Some of our pseudo-secularists have gone to the ridiculous length of saying that the explosive situation in Ayodhya was a reaction to our telecasting 'Ramayan' serial!

For a change, why can't our pseudo-secularists write on or speak about the demolition of several Hindu temples in the Kashmir state, the migration of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits and their plight in Delhi, the plight of the Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh, the insurgency in Kashmir and Punjab aided and abetted by Pakistan and the demand of the Shahi Imam of Juma Masjid for a separate land for Indian Muslims in India (a la Jinnah) and his demand for a U.N. Peace Keeping Force in communally surcharged and sensitive areas of India? Why are our pseudo-secularists silent over such provocative statements?

It would be worthwhile if the high priests of our 'secularism' like Sonia Gandhi, V. P.Singh, Jyothi Basu, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Laloo Prasad Yadav, the Shahi Imam of Juma Masjid, Syed Abdul Bukhari, M. J. Akbar, Syed Shahabuddin, etc. visit Pakistan i a delegation, deliver sermons on 'secularism' and request Pakistan to end all its aid to the Kashmiri terrorists.
