Mahatma Gandhi declared that a bad self-government is better than a good foreign or alien government. We have now reached a stage in our national history when the majority of the Hindus in India numbering over 800 million should realize that a bad `non-secular` BJP government rooted in Hindutva and deriving its inspiration from our age-old Hindu culture and tradition is better than the so-called `secular` UPA government which is in the stranglehold of Sonia's Congress party and the motley conglomeration of Communist parties - an immoral marriage of political convenience which only poses an imminent threat to the integrity and unity of India.

Jinnah was responsible for the Partition of India and he created the Islamic Republic of Pakistan with the full connivance and acquiescence of the Congress party. At least Jinnah had the courage and conviction to call his country an `Islamic Republic` while the Congress party has only divided the country on communal lines in the name of `secularism`. The present UPA government is only interested in creating a `pseudo` Islamic Republic of India unlike the true `Islamic Republic` of Pakistan. No wonder Pakistan is strong in their natural `secularism` and we are shaky in our unnatural `pseudo- secularism`.

There are nearly 52 Muslim countries in the world. In no Muslim country the government provides a Haj subsidy. Only in India (not even in Pakistan) the government under the then stranglehold of the Congress party introduced Haj subsidy in the late 1950s. The Congress party under the leadership of Nehru made it possible for the re-emergence of the Indian Muslim League in the 1950s as a political party in India. Hindu Mahasabha was treated as an enemy by the government of India. The Congress treated the Indian Muslim League as its friend, philosopher and guide to get rid of the communist Nambudripad government in Kerala.

We don't have any Muslim country in the world where the Hindus are extended the same special rights that all the Muslims enjoy in India. The Congress party has created a slavish nation where the 85 per cent majority craves for the indulgence, patronage and sufferance of the 15 per cent minority. We don't have the example of a single Muslim country where a non-Muslim can become its President or Prime Minister. States like Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala, Pondichery, all Hindu-majority States, have in the past elected Muslims as Chief Ministers. Can ever a Hindu dream of ever becoming the Chief Minister of Muslim majority Jammu & Kashmir?

According to the Congress party, all Christian and Muslim schools in India can teach Bible and Koran. Hindus cannot teach Gita or Ramayana in their schools. According to Congress party, Hindus have no problems or ought to have no problems. For Sonia Gandhi, Arjun Singh, Dr Manmohan Singh and the like, those in majority who call themselves Hindus are themselves the problem. Do we have a single instance of a Mullah or Moulvi who has ever declared a fatwa against the Muslim terrorists in India or elsewhere?

After successfully dividing and Balkanising India on the basis of caste, colour, creed, religion and language, the Congress party is now trying to divide the Armed Forces on the same political basis for short-term political gains. The Congress party under Sonia will rest only after dividing every family in the country. In order to achieve this nefarious aim, they have created a committee with Justice Rajindar Sachar as chairman to ostensibly prepare a report on the current `social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in India`. The Congress party and the other parties in the UPA coalition are only interested in the minority votebanks of the Muslims/Christians. They are not bothered about the territorial integrity, security and safety of India nor are they worried about the ancient and rich cultural heritage of India based on Sanathana Dharma.

Having destroyed the country through a system of politically motivated `reservations`, the Congress party is now trying to extend the same principle to the Armed Forces and is using the instrumentality of the Justice Rajindar Sachar Committee to achieve this most reprehensible and condemnable anti-national objective. Chief of Army Staff J J Singh has boldly declared that the military would continue to follow `secular norms` in recruiting soldiers. He has clarified that the Armed Forces have never considered recruitment on the basis of community. It should not be forgotten that in every communal riot after independence in every part of India, it is only the Army which has succeeded in creating a climate of trust and confidence among the various sections of people without distinction of caste, colour, creed, community or religion. The Congress party is now mischievously trying to sow the seeds of dissension within the Armed Forces for cornering the minority votes in India.

The `pseudo-secular` Congress party cannot distinguish between the vital national issues and the political/intellectual skills to master the fundamental principles of political analysis. No doubt issues are infinitely more complex and difficult to master than fundamental principles of analysis. The very reason why there is an issue in the first place is usually because no single principle can possibly resolve the difference to the mutual satisfaction of all concerned. Innumerable principles are often acting and interacting in a changing environment, creating vast amounts of complex facts to be mastered and assessed - if one is serious about resolving issues responsibly, as distinguished from generating cheap political excitement. The Congress party under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi is only interested in the politics of `cheap pseudo-secular popular(!) excitement`. The `disgraceful` attempt of Congress party to teach issues to the illiterate citizens of India is like teaching calculus to people who have not yet learned arithmetic, or surgery to people lacking the rudiments of anatomy or hygiene. Worse, it is teaching them to go ahead and perform surgery, without worrying about boring details.

Sardar Patel once wrote to Nehru: `I am rather surprised that you are talking about nationalist Muslims. So far as I am concerned, it is a contradiction in terms`. The situation has not changed much even today. It is not therefore surprising that the Imam of Delhi Syed Ahmed Bukhari has said, ` the government committee seeking information regarding Muslims in the Armed Forces is necessary for the benefit of the community. There is less than one per cent Muslims in defense services and it is the responsibility of the government to recruit Muslims in all services according to the population pattern of the community`. The `pseudo-secular` UPA government in New Delhi would on the one hand welcome these very patriotic remarks from Syed Ahmed Bukhari with great gusto and enthusiasm and on the other gloss over the observations of Chief of Army Staff with suave political silence and indifference, if not contempt!

We have now hilarious news to the effect that a Cabinet Minister from UP and senior Samajwadi Leader Mohammed Yaqoob has spoken like an irresponsible terrorist on Friday last when he called for the beheading of the cartoonist who had sketched Prophet Mohammed in a blasphemous manner for a Danish newspaper. The Minister has announced that he would give the avenger Rs 51 corer and weigh him in gold. He has beaten Sonia Gandhi and the UPA government in the shameful game of pseudo-secularism. What is amazing is that he has clarified that he has obtained the informal clearance of the UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav for making this statement. Will the same Minister come forward to issue a fatwa against M F Hussain who has painted Hindu Gods and Goddesses and Bharath Mata in a more blasphemous and obscene manner than his Danish counterparts? The UP Governor, who is a toady of the Congress Party in general and Sonia Gandhi and her family in particular, would not initiate any action against the irresponsible conduct of a Cabinet Minister of his government.

The UPA government is `pseudo-secular`; Dr. Manmohan Singh is and so is Sonia Gandhi. All of them will remain neutral between M F Hussain`s obscene paintings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses and the hurt feelings of mute, suffering Hindus in the majority. Hussain`s painting of Bharath Mata shows his contempt for India that is Bharath and its culture. Hussain is guilty of a constitutional offence. He is the favored and favorite child of the Congress party. He is more important to the Congress party than the nation and more than 800 millions of Hindus in India. In this context, I would like to ask a simple question as to why all the Muslim clerics of India have chosen to vote for the conspiracy of silence in regard to the blasphemous paintings done by Hussain against Hindu Gods and Goddesses?

The dumb millions of India should not fail to note that the Congress party in New Delhi will leave no area of vote bank politics untouched and unmolested. The recent attempt to divide and destabilize the Armed Forces on the basis of caste, color, creed, community and religion is in keeping with this `anti-national` policy of the Congress during the last 58 years. What matters is the survival of Sonia and not the survival of India. Minorities are described as secular, decent and divine while the majority Hindus are always described as `communal, indecent and dreadful`. Why this calculated discrepancy and discrimination rooted in the infatuation for minorities and contempt and hatred for the majority? If the Congress party does not reform itself by weaning itself away from the present dangerous path of `pseudo-secularism`, it is bound to lose all its moral authority to seek a single `Hindu Vote` in India in the not very distant future. Long live pseudo-secularism!
