Genocide

Read this article on CNN.Raphael Lemkin defines genocide as " the destruction of national, racial and religious groups an international crime". If you look at the past 1000 years of Indian history, Islamic forces have consistently attacked Indian civilization, culture, people and enough blood has flowed on the streets of India to fill the River Ganga.The genocidal attacks continue to this day. From the days of terror in Punjab and Delhi, from Air India bombings, to Kashmir in 1987 through this day, from Mumbai 1993 to Mumbai 2008.This blood lust of Islamic forces for the Hindu blood has not subsided in the past thousand years.

When I went to India last year, I happened to read S.L.Bhyrappa's "AVARANA", a must read. I then had to visit Delhi on official business (well, actually it was Noida) and took this opportunity to visit Taj Mahal, and, yes, Mathura. I was shocked to find that the security forces wouldn't let me carry in my own camera. The reason was quite obvious. The Jami Masjid mosque, built on the ruins of a glorious Keshav Dev (Krishna Janmabhoomi!) temple, by Aurangazeb, stands glaringly pointing to the 1000 years of history of the place. Starting with Mahmud Ghazni in 1018 A.D, the temples built on these premises were destroyed thrice in 500 years. Can you imagine the EVIL that makes you want to be so vindictive as to come back for hundreds of years and destroy something held in such reverence by the Hindus? That is Islamic fascism, obscurantism and terrorism for you. This is how the religion began its existence, this is how it survives to this day. Anyway, I'm digressing. I'd read this book two days earlier, and then I visit this little temple built by the side of the BIG mosque, in which is housed the birthplace of Krishna Lalla, the actual prison room in which Krishna was supposedly born. Now, I am not a terribly religious person, though I believe in Hinduism, but tears welled in my eyes when I walked around this temple. I told myself, NEVER AGAIN. Never again will Hindu religion, its culture and people be attacked by hate filled ideologists, murdering and rampaging thieves, never again. We have an army that can kick ass, we have an economic prowess that will defeat any force that tries to impose jazia on us. I cried there. You could see the green domes of the mosque on the top left corner of the image.

I think the "Never Again" part of this story was a bit premature. Jihadis invaded India on November 26th, 2008. They walked with impunity onto the shores of India, went over to hotels, cafes and hospitals, shot and killed people with wanton and cruelty, spilled the blood of Indians on our streets *yet again*. What is the point in having a powerful Navy, when you have corrupt coast guards who will let criminal gangs smuggle in RDX, guns and narcotics? What is the point in having an army, when your borders can be left unguarded by imbecile administrations?What is the point in having a police force that works as henchmen for Dawood Ibrahim or his fellow gangsters, what is the point in having an administration that would let terrorists obtain ration cards and passports for a few thousand rupees. I am so sorry that the great civilization called India is withering up in this fashion. The nikamma Sardar Manmohan Singh is only warming the seat for Rahul Gandhi. There is nothing stoking in the fire for now, that shows any promise of a great leadership for India. At least US has the new President elect Obama to hope for a turning tide, what does India have? Other than the economic progress that is largely to be attributed to the economic boom in other parts of the globe.
