Main culprits in anti Indian slanderous exercise

Please refer to International Herald Tribune (IHT) allowing a letter from
one Nadeem Shaikh on massacre of 75000 Kashmiri Muslims by Indian troops and
your reaction to that letter and permission given by
IHT editors to print it. Before we react to these anti Indian reports in
American and other Western Media let us understand and identify the main
culprits in this anti Indian slanderous exercise.
India has been ruled for over 12-15 centuries by brutal invaders who came
here to extinguish our ideology and force us to follow their faith. They used
torture and economic suppression to enforce their ideology. Many refused to
convert and were killed and many opted for Conversion. Many survived as
Dhimmis and in today’s post Independent India we call them "pseudos" or
"pseudo Secularists". In fact they are "negationists" who glorify and shield
invaders and exonerate them from brutal, repressive measures and instead
blame the victims for atrocities and brutalities. There are Hindus and
Indians who call Shivaji and Rana Pratab as Terrorists whenever ISI and
Pakistanis are accused of terrorism. They call Bhagat Singh as terrorist.
Victims become Victimisers, invaded become invaders and those who are
tortured and maimed become tormentors and barbarians. In a way more than half
of worlds Negationist tribe resides in India.
After the advent of electronic media post 1990s, top slot was taken by
Star TV owned by Rupert Murdoch. He hired Indias ace negationist Pranoy Roy
and his team of Rajdeep Sardesai and Barkha Dutt to bombard entire country
with negationist stuff through selective and highly surcharged propaganda. 2
programs widely aired and viewed are- "We the people" anchored by Barkha Dutt
and "Big Fight" anchored by Rajdeep Sardesai. (Another negationist is Karan
Thapar who is on BBC and Sabe TV & Vinod Dua on Sahara Channel). Pranoy Roy
who owns NDTV which is engaged by Star TV to prepare its news and current
affairs programs is a Negationist par excellence and anchors Question Time
India on BBC too. These programs bring foreign scribes like those of IHT,
Washington Post, Guardian etc along with other Indian negationists such as
Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, Vinod Mehta, Kuldip Nayar, Mani Shankar Aiyar,
N.Ram, Natwar Singh, Kapil Sibal, Laloo Prasad Yadav, Arundhati Roy, Kushwant
Singh, Pakistani scribes and envoys in order to brain wash Indian
intelligentsia. The anchors select only submissive and weak sections from the
opposite camp and assertive and vocal commentators like Arun Jaitley, Arun
Shourie, Sushma Swaraj, Uma Bharati, M.V.Kamath, Pravin Togadia, Bal
Thackeray are either shunned or brought reluctantly where anchors interrupt
and obstruct them most effectively.
These negationist channels give lot of time and importance to foreign
scribes. If India conducts nuclear tests at Pokhran, these foreign scribes
along with Indian negationists are brought in these programs to highlight
India’s poverty, illiteracy, AIDS, and what have you. India’s right to posses
these weapons is questioned and than vetoed. Pakistan’s acquisitions are
defended and blamed on India’s belligerence and power hungry rulers hell bent
on hegemony of South Asia. Than these negationists go to Pakistan showing
public abusing and bad mouthing Vajpayee. But when Pakistan does a Chagai,
these cowardly negationists just blame it on "Hindu Bomb." No courage to
interview Indian Public- blame it all on Hindus, Hindutva and ultimately
India.
You have seen at Godhra how 58 innocent Hindus who were burnt alive became
militant Hindus (fit to be burned) on BBC, CNN and other Western journals.
The culprits were these negationists of Pranoy & Co
Presently these Negationists are blaming Vajpayee government for expelling
Pakistani envoy for indulging in funding of Huriyet militants. On the day
Pakistani acting High Commisioner Jalil Abbas Jilani was expelled he was on
our TV channels with Rajdeeps and Co interviewing him and allowing him to
criticise and abuse our government. Sudhir Vyas was expelled in retaliatory
action by Pakistan. He was never allowed to be interviewed on Pakistani
media. Instead he was abused and assaulted in Pakistan. When Vyas crossed
over in India no one from our Negationist media brought him on our screens
for truth to come out. But again Jilani was allowed to throw muck on Indias
establishment after his return to Pakistan naturally foreign envoys in India
and Pakistan follow anti Indian line and the culprit is our negationist
media.
When Togadia called Sonia a "Foreign Kutiya" these anchors turned their
channels into Panipat against Togadia and edit aftyer edit appeared in print
media, but now Digvijay Singh has accused Vajpayee of eating cow flesh but
these negationists are glorifying Diggy Raja for his daring anti Hindutva
campaign and calling it Vajpayees defeat. No program on Digvijays improriety
and no edits. No comments by foreign scribes.
When our troops were battling Pakistani marauders in Kargil, for every
bullet fired by Pakistans Northern Infantry, they were getting ten from our
negationists. Indraji took credit for our first Nuclear test at Pokhran in
1974. Bhutto asserted that Pakistanis will eat grass and still develop
Nuclear weapons immediately after that test. By 1987 Pakistan had possessed a
Nuclear Bomb. Our secularists capped the Nuclear and missile regimes under
Narsimha Rao, Deve Gowda and I.K.Gujeral but Vajpayee resumed those regimes.
But this negationist tribe and their foreign friends in IHT, Washington Post,
New York Times and Guardian have propagated a canard that Pakistan has
developed Nuclear weapons only after Vajpayee did Pokhran-II on May 11th
1999.
After kandhar hijacking of IC-814, our negationist media demoralised
Indian society by just attacking Vajpayee and converted this human tragedy
into an anti Indian government exercise. Hijackers and Pakistani-Afghan
gangup was glorified. Till today this negationist tribe of India rewinds
Kandhar to demoralize and humiliate our society and government.
There are instances galore about the role of this negationist gang
besmirching fair name of India. We have to first tackle this menace at home.
This is the oxygen for the stories of the type we have seen in IHT on killing
of 75000 Kashmiris by Indian troops.
Indian troops performed the last rites of Baluchi soldiers killed in
Kargil after Islamic republic of Pakistan refused to accept the bodies. Our
negationists and their friends in IHT did not feel obliged at least morally
to highlight and publicise that gesture. If they had done so, than the
mischievous reporting as we have seen now in IHT would not have been
possible.
If we want our point of view to reach world opinion than the secular/negationist/Macaulayist/Marxist
muck in our media would have to be removed.
