Introduction
The
so-called confidence building measures between India and Pakistan are now
underway. The proponents of these measures have not fully explained how
this would diffuse tensions between
India and
Pakistan.
The
background of the groups and individuals behind this push is disturbing.
Some of them belong to established jihadi-fronts against India – this
includes assorted variety of Indian Muslims and their organizations.
Others are left-oriented “peaceniks” who have a strong record of
apologizing for Islamic terrorism at the expense of its victims.
Going by the track record and the underlying ideology, one could argue
that anything these two groups advocates is not in India’s national
interests.
The
United States State Department is also among the advocates of these
confidence building measures. As I have published before, the State
Department hasn’t been particularly well-advised when it comes to
understanding the dynamics of South Asian Islam (American
Policy Advice in South Asia: Fatal Flaws). In fact, America’s
Department of Home Land Security has put Pakistanis on special terror
watch list – not surprising when a recent poll in
Pakistan
showed over 60% showing admiration for Osama Bin Laden. But Manmohan
regime is willing to allow many of them enter
India without a visa!
In
this paper I focus on the implications of these moves for East Punjab, a
critical border state. This analysis shows that the Manmohan Singh’s
regime has recklessly and without adequate study is pushing ahead with a
process of normalization. Such normalization would lead to mostly one way
transfer of Muslim populations into Indian Punjab, along with most western
border states
and will lead to a permanent displacement of Sikhs and Hindus residents.
For all the brave battles spread over many centuries waged by Sikh gurus
against Islamic
fascism, Manmohan Singh may be known as the Sikh who likely initiated
blunders that led to the disappearance of Sikhism.
I am
going to suggest steps Sikh communities within India and its extended
diaspora can take to stop this potential blunder and put Punjab and the
rest of India on a path of glorious revival.
How Islamic fascism is destroying
East Punjab
There are very few Muslims still living in East (Indian) Punjab. Then how
is it that Islam is destroying this region? What has happened is that due
to neighboring Kashmiri Muslim’s jihad against
India
and due to Pakistan’s proximity, very few high-tech industrial investments
could be made in Punjab. Due to population growth the lands inherited have
been further divided, making many Sikh families increasingly impoverished.
In order to destroy India Pakistan continues to implant anti-Hindu ideas
in the minds of some Sikhs, making the state somewhat unstable.
Also, with Indian Muslims sucking the life out of India with expenses
related to terrorism, subsidizes, and reservation, resources are being
unfairly taken away from investing and developing many states, including
Punjab.
Softer borders with Islamic
Pakistan
The
process of “normalization” or “people-to-people” interaction envisioned by
Manmohan regime, along with increased trade requires much more porous
borders. While Pakistan is likely to remain unsafe for non-Muslims due to
hateful religious preaching in its mosques, a growing (at least on a
short-term) and secular India would be a magnate for Pakistani Muslims.
Pakistan
continues to be a nation among the highest rates of population growth --
many poor Pakistanis have been desperately emigrating. Only an adversarial
relation and a closed border have stopped them from coming to
India
-- a nation where they can mingle easily given similar language and
customs. India’s eastern border states have been systematically flooded by
Muslims from Islamic Bangladesh with whom India has “normalized”
relations. India is destined to lose these border states at this rate. In
fact, successive democratically elected governments have no plans on how
to stop this demographic expansion or drive out this Muslim population.
Similar scenario will occur when
India’s
relations are normalized with Pakistan; India’s eastern borders will be
flooded by Pakistani Muslims.
Softer border with India also makes it possible for Pakistani Islamists to
extend Islamic borders in the easiest way possible – by exporting Muslims
and occupying lands and then drive out the natives – the most established
way Islam has conquered territory in South Asia.
If
Pakistan wants India to “help” (get assistance from India in order to come
out of militant Islam’s grasp) it by normalizing relations with it, then
one has to conclude that “help” is needed because Islam is destroying
Pakistan. Hence India is all the more justified in quarantining itself
from Pakistan – a fully Islam “infected” nation, and work to first
eradicate Islamic fascism within Indian boundaries (Soft
Borders with Pakistan: A Certain Suicide,
Prithiviraj, Again?). Saving
Pakistan comes later!
There exists no evidence that Islam or the Muslim religious establishment
have changed their ways. Islam as a religion doesn’t offer any positive
vision for its adherents in
South Asia. In fact, it can only keep them under the fold by inventing grievances
and engage them at a perpetual state of war with non-Muslims – towards
first bringing entire India under Islamic fold (When
are India and Pakistan ready for peace?).
India’s own Muslim
population is the standing example of what is so wrong with Islam in South
Asia!
The
evidence is all there. Among the most glaring is marginalization and
massive ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims in every area of South Asia where
Muslims have power – through majority status. Even in areas where Muslims
are in a sizable minority – within
India, their relationship with majority Hindus is
conflict-prone and wrought with violence, mistrust and suspicion (For
Hindus in Kerala it's now or never).
The
border states, and in particular Kashmir and Punjab, will see their Muslim
population swell due to illegal migration from Pakistan -- if Indo-Pak
relations normalize. These Muslims, by simply being South Asian Muslims --
going by the track record -- will make life unsafe for non-Muslims,
including Sikhs and will make Punjab even less of a desirable place to
invest. Hence such a
Punjab will have increasingly poorer Sikhs and financially better
off ones will simply leave for states located deep within
India.
Conclusion: Normalized relations with Pakistan will inevitably lead to a demographic takeover of
East Punjab by
Pakistani Muslims. Sikhs will become poorer and will be displaced
permanently from their final ancestral land in South Asia.
Sikhs will convert to Christianity
Recently, it was reported that Christian soul harvesters had converted
some impoverished Sikhs in Punjab to Christianity. As I discussed above
this is already due to indirect consequence of Islamic fascism making
Punjabi Sikhs poor. It is poor and uneducated that are ready victims of
various “incentives” offered by soul harvesters. Financially better off
and educated people know that religion alone is no salvation. After all,
American blacks, who are predominantly Christian, remain in third world
standards, while “pagan” Hindu or Sikh immigrants in America have done
much better (Dynamics
of Proselytizing).
In
other words, economic development and modern education lead to capable and
resource rich population that knows how to advance its interests and
progress its civilization. On the opposite side, an India that is drained
by Islam will not be able to defend its borders, and its poor, literate
citizens will be easy pickings for Christian soul harvesters.
Current trends indicate that not just Sikhs, Hindus too will become
history in India, with the region ravished by Islamic fascism and
indigenous civilization never given a chance progress and simply
exterminated religiously and culturally, if not physically. Is this what
Sikhs want?
Once homelands for both Sikhism and Hinduism (India) gone, pockets of Sikhs and Hindus leftover around the world will not
have infusion of much-needed reform coming into their religion.
Increasingly outdated and isolated in an evolving world, both Sikhism and
Hinduism will eventually settle into the dustbin of history, and their
followers, mostly absorbed into Christianity.
That
is why it is a must for
India
to slay the Islamic fascism monster permanently to free up resources to
move forward as a civilization. When India makes economic strides, its
indigenous religions too will progress. Hence it is in the self interest
of diaspora of Sikhs and Hindus to work together to eradicate Islamic
fascism within India, and defang it in the neighborhood.
In
my mind eradication of various non-fascist cultures and religions without
being given a chance to evolve is similar to eradication of plant and
animal species due to human encroachment. This is not in the long-term
interests of human civilization.
Old people as leaders
When
I met with Advani and RSS leader Sudharshan and listened to them a few
years ago in New York, I realized that they were of no leadership
material. I am seeing similar traits in Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh that I
saw in Advani or Sudharshan.
What
are these traits? Inability to articulate a point of view that is in the
interest of the civilization they represent and simply be outdated in
their outlook and incapable of outlining a bold new initiatives or a
vision to solve outstanding problems – such as Islamic fascism. Their age
also makes them much less dynamic. This contrasts with Pervez Musharraf –
among the most lethal adversaries Hindus and Sikhs have encountered in a
thousand years.
Also, these old Indian leaders I have talked about were born in an India
that was under the control of British. In their prime days they had only
encountered an India that was NOT known for accomplishment even in one
area, such software competence. They knew of an India that was timid, shy,
inarticulate, poor and unaccomplished.
Such
old people should never be in leadership positions for a young nation that
is showing signs of accomplishment and confidence. Only a confident and
articulate younger leader can take on Islamic fascism and defeat it, then
put India on a fast-paced China-like economic growth.
The
track record of these old men is one of total surrender and appeasement to
Islamic fascism and they have no clue how to defeat this enemy (Slaves,
Servants & Rulers).
After all, someone eventually did figure out how to eradicate smallpox, is
it not? Younger people with established leadership and problem-solving
skills can create new ideas and solutions -- I have published a series
papers on how to permanently eradicate the Islamic threat (How
can India Defeat Militant Islam?
Islam’s Weakness,
A Hindu Movement Born).
America and the asymmetric war
While America in general plays by the rules established under
international conventions, the jihadi forces attacking it obey no rules.
Such a war is called an asymmetric war.
America
has enormous resources at its disposal. Also, a nation it is very capable
-- it has taken on big projects before and executed them successfully. It
is also nation with an excellent administrative setup that can enforce the
rule of law; at individual level American citizens are among the most
capable.
Even
then, America is stuck with enormous expenditures. By many accounts
America
is spending several hundred of billions of dollars a year in its fight
with Islamic fascism, with no end in sight – all the while running up huge
budget deficits. In fact, due to the escalating and enormous costs of
fighting the war on terror its civilization edge is eroding --
compromising the future generations.
American establishment appear to think that democracy will be the natural
neutralizer of Islamic terrorism and conditions creating it. If American
hypothesis is true then nations such as
Pakistan
which have strong bouts of democracy should have weakened roots of
terrorism. Quite to the contrary Pakistan remains one of fountainheads of
worldwide Islamic terrorism. In fact, American establishment is yet to
understand that fundamental deficiencies in Islam must be first fixed
before democracy can take root (The
Art of War on Terror).
Conclusions: Only a nation such as
America with its super power status and extraordinary resources can afford to
wage an asymmetric war with Islamists, still obeying international laws.
Even then, it is not clear how and when
America is going to emerge victorious or what price it is going to pay at the
end of the war on terror.
India can’t win the asymmetric war
When
Islamic terrorist nation such as Pakistan butchers at least a million
Hindus in East Pakistan in 1971 and gets away with it or sponsors ethnic
cleansing of over 300,000 Hindus from India’s own Kashmir valley in 1989,
or when Indian Muslims burn a train coach full of Hindu women and children
in Godhra – the world appears to shrug and say that Muslims are expected
to behave this way. However, the civilized world expects Indian state and
its majority community to defend and retaliate in “civilized” ways –
against Pakistan and segments of Indian Muslim population that wage an
asymmetric warfare on them.
This
has led to unfathomable brutality and killings of Hindus and Sikhs both on
the part of Islamic states and by Muslim populations in South Asia.
However, India is a poor nation of meager resources; it needs all of them
to invest to create wealth for its people to progress. It is also a
poorly-governed nation where the rule of law is not well-enforced. Hence,
expecting such a nation to respond in “civilized” ways to Islamists is
almost equivalent to asking it not to fight back effectively while the
Islamists destroy the country from within and without. Also, Muslim clergy
who commandeer Indian Muslims in a jihad against the state are proven to
understand only the language of force. Hence India doesn’t have the
enormous resources or the governing ability to wage a civilized war and
win it – and eventually, the end result will be India’s annihilation in
the hands of Islam. Is this what America or rest of the civilized world
want?
This asymmetrical warfare imposed on an “infidel” India has already led to
ever-increasing and enormous amounts spent ineffectively on security (with
the security situation only getting worse!), and Muslim appeasing
subsidies, reservations, with little left for infrastructure development.
Due to an unabated demographic expansion from Islamic Bangladesh and
fast-growing Muslim population, this problem will get only worse -- if not
addressed adequately now. Not only India can’t manufacture certain
products due to a lack of capable infrastructure, it can hardly afford to
train its people to produce them. Instabilities created by Indian Muslims
either directly or indirectly are making many parts of India undesirable
places to invest. There will be a security markup on all of its products,
making them expensive. Under these circumstances how can a nation such as
India compete in global markets?
Undoubtedly, an
India
impoverished by an extended bleeding in the hands of Islam is seeing the
birth of naxal movements in many regions. Resource rich Christian
proselytizers are taking advantage of this to convert the locals. This is
the classic case of a dying civilization that fights in terms set by the
enemy!
Rules of engaging an enemy has to evolve with time and situation, that is
common sense (New
Ideas for a New War).
The
American establishment, which in my opinion not only lacks a coherent and
a workable strategy to win the war on terror quickly and efficiently,
showed a lack of grasp of the threats facing India by revoking visa to
Narendra Modi (An
inside story of Modi’s visa revoke). For Indian Americans, including
Sikhs, this shows the dire need to help educate the American
establishment.
Musharraf -- a cosmopolitan jihadi
Musharraf is one of the few Pakistani leaders to realize that
Pakistani embrace of extremism will lead to its doom and that it must
embark on some form of modernization to move forward. To embrace modernism
he also realizes the need to get help from the western nations, and in
particular, the
United States of America.
But he is also a Pakistani military officer who appears to
believe in supremacy of a “moderate” version of Islam in
South Asia. By
implication, this necessarily means destruction of the dominant country of
the region, India. India’s destruction will mean bleak future for
non-Muslims of the region, including Sikhs, Jains, Christians and
Buddhists -- in addition to Hindus.
Musharraf’s jihadi intent can be ascertained by the fact that he talks
only about freedom of Kashmiri Muslims in India, but says nothing about
non-Muslims who have been driven out of Pakistani part of Kashmir or from
the rest of Pakistan.
To achieve
India’s destruction he is
using jihadi ideology and forces. He is a prime strategist and sponsor of
Islamic terrorism in Kashmir. Under him Pakistan has intensified
encircling of India by jihadi forces. Now a major thrust, including
terrorism, is coming from Pakistan-Saudi Arabia’s client state – Islamic
Bangladesh. He has also worked to establish jihadi cells within
India and has sped up the jihadization of Indian Muslims.
Manmohan has no plans to rollback Islamic fascism
Manmohan is coming across as
India’s
Chamberlin, who could only appease Islamic fascism – the modern-day Nazism
of South Asia. His track record and background is that of a man of
essentially no leadership skills and no vision to roll back Islamic
fascism.
As the opposition party leader Sonia Gandhi had given a lecture in
November 2002 at an Islamic center in London with links to Bin Laden
family. In this lecture she says: “What is striking and remarkable is that
international terrorist networks do not seem to have a hold on Indian
Muslims”. But this statement by Sonia was quite contrary to the obvious
reality -- assisted by an international terror group Laskar-e-Taiba
(LeT), India’s only Muslim majority state, Kashmir, had been waging a
jihad against the Indian state and according to Indian intelligence LeT
had managed to install Islamic terrorist cells in many parts of India!
This shows that Sonia had little understanding of the extent of Islamic
threat to India and hence she is unqualified to be the leader of Congress party.
Most
of the ministers in the Congress-led regime, including Natwar Singh,
Shivraj Patil, Arjun Singh or Mani Sankar Aiyar are all old-style
bureaucrats/politicians with outdated ideas and are in no position to
provide leadership or governing.
The
Congress leadership under Manmohan-Sonia team has been escalating its
appeasement of Islamic fascism, including the recent announcement of over
20,000 crores for Muslims of Kashmir – who want to suck India dry and
still sponsor jihad (The
woes of Jammu and Ladakh,
India, the Kashmiri colony); more reservations for Indian Muslims,
when Indian Muslims already have over 25% reservation (Muslim
Reservation = Jihad)! The list is endless.
Manmohan Singh has outlined no plans to drive out illegal Muslim
Bangladeshis in India. Instead of helping Nepal solve its insurgency
problem, he is driving
Nepal
into the hands of China and Pakistan.
Islam as an ideology in South Asia comes across as corrupt, fascist and
inferior one that can’t bring progress to the people under its flock and
keeps them in an eternal conflict with others. Hence it is an ideology
that must be eradicated and reaching “accommodation” or “coexisting” with
it is no option (How
were Srilankan Hindus United?).This also means that peace with
Pakistan is not possible -- eventually Pakistanis too must be liberated
from this ideology. But Manmohan-Sonia team has no such vision! This team
can only appease Pakistan and Indian Islamists at the expense of
India,
all the way to India’s doom.
Congress didn’t come to power due to a mass support base. Most Indians had
been fed up with NDA’s ineffective leadership under Vajpayee who failed to
increase standard of living for most Indians and who also showed himself
to be an appeaser of Islamic fascism. This anti-incumbent feeling meant
that as a national alternative, by default, congress got the votes and
came to power. Hence, the congress-led UPA regime can never claim mandate
or even full-fledged legitimacy under
India’s
dysfunctional democracy.
Lacking
credentials and immersed in incompetence the Congress-led UPA regime
shouldn't be allowed to reach any "compromise" with Pakistan over Kashmir.
My
purpose here is not to insult congress leadership, but keeping the welfare
of their children and grand children in mind, it is time for them to
handover the government to someone with proven credentials for the role of
India’s leader.
Narendra Modi –
India’s Winston
Churchill
Who
is that leader
India
can look up to?
Just
like elements Nazi leadership was afraid of Churchill coming to power in
Britain in place of weak Chamberlin, Islamic forces in South Asia are
afraid of India’s
very own Churchill – a younger and dynamic visionary, Narendra Modi.
Administration and the people reflect the leader. A dynamic and capable
Gujarat reflects
its great leader Narendra Modi. A lethargic and timid
India reflects
the old and outdated Manmohan Singh and previously, Vajpayee.
The
future of both Sikhism and Hinduism hinges on India achieving strong
economic growth and opportunities for higher technical and professional
education (A
New Paradigm: Civilization through Wealth Creation). Only then Hindus
and Sikhs will evolve into capable and resourceful populations that can
progress their religion and learn to promote their interests. In both
areas Modi has proven himself to be a giant visionary -- with
Gujarat achieving over 15% growth rate in the past year – over twice
the national average. Modi has also rightfully emphasized the importance
of learning English to achieve excellence in technical education – by
introducing English at an earlier age for school children.
Modi’s systematic efforts to neutralize Islamic cells in Gujarat who would
like to wage jihad to destroy Gujarat is well-known.
At the moment the focus of Pakistan and Indian Muslims is on Gujarat and
Narendra Modi as they realize that in order to destroy India and Islamize
it, they must first remove Modi from power and convert Gujarat into a
waste land.
Recently, chief jihadi thug of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf threatened India
with yet another “Kargil” unless Indian settles the
Kashmir issue (presumably in Pakistani terms). Inept leaders such as Manmohan,
Sonia, Vajpayee or Advani could hardly respond to this thuggery
effectively. Someone like Modi would have told
Pakistan that Pakistan
owes India one third of its real estate as a compensation for massive
ethnic cleansing it conducted when it drove out its Sikh and Hindu
residents to India. Hence annexing land from Pakistan as the rightful
compensation becomes
India’s
strategic goal (Demanding
Land From Pakistan). For instance,
Lahore
should rightfully belong to Hindus and Sikhs, and so are most of
Muslim-free Sind and Kashmir.
We
need leaders like that, right now!
No
more old, inept, outdated and tired people as leaders!
Sikhs must work with Hindus
Being a small minority and with a history of being under the bloody sword
Muslims, India is the last homeland of Sikhs. Besides, they are linked by
language, religion, food and customs with Hindus.
It
is now or never for both Sikhs and Hindus and they must work together to
permanently eradicate the enemy. As I have listed above we do have a plan
to make it happen.
Time is running out for Sikhs & Hindus
-
It should be a high priority among Gurdwaras to see how they can ensure
a future for Sikhism – by eradicating Islamic fascism within India.
-
Sikhs around the world should setup delegations, send them to India and
politely, yet firmly advice Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi to hand over
power to Narendra Modi (if Sonia can “appoint” Manmohan as Prime
Minister of India, she can very well help “install” Modi as Prime
Minister).
-
They should also call for replacing the aged leadership of Akali Dal,
Congress, BJP, VHP and RSS with younger, visionary and dynamic leaders.
As nationalist party/organization representing majority interests, BJP/RSS
must clean house with the likes of Advani, Vajpayee, Mahajan and
Sudharshan “retired” as quickly as possible.
-
They should work to create awareness of Islamic fascism’s track record
in South Asia among Sikh masses in India and around the world.
