Feedback"If India has to be saved from total destruction, Election Commission of India will have to derecognize the Congress Party first for its unabashed Communal Secularism" - All the People of India. If Muslim terrorists destroy the Madurai Meenakshi Temple in Tamil Nadu or Guruvayurappan Temple in Kerala or Puri Jagannath Temple in Orissa, the communal Congress Party or all the Islam-Embracing, Christianity-Coveting or Hindu-Hating political parties forming part of the so called non-communal coalition UPA Non-Government (in actual fact an NGO!!) in New Delhi will not view such criminal deeds as unprovoked acts of religious fanaticism or communal vandalism but as noble deeds of Islamic humanity and compassion forming a legitimate and indivisible part of "Minority Rights". What is shocking is that the CBI, IB, RAW, Ministry of Home Affairs and all the other enforcement agencies of the Government of India will also be equally enthusiastic and perceptive and smoothly slide along the same path with the same pseudo-secular fervour! All these disgraceful enforcement agencies under the indirect political control of a coterie having direct links with Italian Mafia will only get unduly disturbed by a routine RSS peaceful Baitak anywhere. Against this known and "solid" background, I am not at all surprised that the Congress Party and all the other pseudo-secular political parties are raising a big "Hangama" against a CD that was sought to be released by some functionaries of the BJP Party in UP. If the BJP Party is communal, Congress Party is also equally communal. The Samajvadi Party, RJD, CPI (M), CPI, LJP, DMK, and all the other political parties supporting the Congress are no less communal. But the Election Commission of India will treat only the BJP as "Saffronized and Communal" and all the other political parties, including all brands and shades of Muslim political parties as "Non-Saffronized, Secular and Non-Communal". In my view Dr.Manmohan Singh is communal. Sonia Gandhi is communal. Arjun Singh is communal. Shivraj Patel is communal. Mulayam Singh Yadav is communal. Lalu Prasad Yadav is communal. Ram Vilas Paswan is communal. Prakash Karat and Brinda Karat are communal. Thus we can go on without end in the murky cess-pool of our low level national politics today. I was looking into the internationally accepted definitions of "Racism." All of them uniformly point out that any form of discrimination against any particular religion within a country or a State is a definite form of condemnable and reprehensible "Racism". Even the United Nations has adopted this approach. In Turkey, the Kurds have been the victims of "Racism". In Bosnia, we have the disgraceful phenomenon of racial discrimination against the Muslims. In the light of this definition, I can adduce irrefutable documentary evidence to show that the surrogate UPA government in New Delhi (under the power without responsibility stranglehold of an Italian woman in absolute ownership of a Private Unlimited Company called the Congress Party!!) is a government which actively practices undeclared, unstated, undefined but definitely politically promoted "Racism" founded on Minority Communalism against the peace-loving HINDUS in majority in India. Nowhere in the world can we see the national disaster of a duly elected government officially announcing and promoting a pernicious policy of "Racism" derived from Minority Religious Communalism particularly against the majority. Are we not having State-sponsored Communalism against the majority? Let me give some concrete instances to substantiate my major charge of "Communalism" against the majority" which I am raising against the UPA Government, the Congress and all the other so called secular political parties: 1.In the dastardly name of "Minorityism" on paper and petty vote bank politics in practice, the Congress Party under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru, a sworn enemy of Hinduism, surreptitiously slipped in Articles 29 and 30 of the Constitution in order to convert the Hindus in Majority in India into serfs of the "Minority" in perpetuity. Does it not show that the Congress Party has been "communal" ever since our Independence? 2.After declaring India as a secular State, the Congress Party under Jawaharlal Nehru introduced Haj subsidies for the Muslims in 1959. We do not have Haj subsidies in any other Islamic or non-Islamic country in the world. Was this not truly "communal"? In this context, the poor Hindus of India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Rann of Kutch to the Bay of Bengal, would like to pose some simple and straight questions to the UPA government in general and Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi in particular: "What crimes or sins we have committed as Hindus not to qualify for subsidies to visit places of our pilgrimage like Kasi, Manasarover, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Badrinath, Kedarnath, Dwaraka, Puri, Kancheepuram, Madurai, Srirangam, Rameswaram, Kanyakumari, etc.? Are we in minority in India? Are we not discriminated against on the ground of the religion of our forefathers from times immemorial? Are you suggesting that we would instantaneously qualify for these subsidies only by converting ourselves voluntarily and cheerfully to Islam under the direct supervision of two Union Cabinet Ministers like Arjun Singh and Antuley? 3.Was it not an announcement of religious discrimination against the Hindus in majority - the recent policy pronouncement of Manmohan Singh that government of India will always follow the philosophy of "Muslims First" in the matter of apportionment of development funds? As a responsible Prime Minister, is he not taking India on the treacherous path of fragmenting the country on "communal" lines just in order to corner some Muslim votes in different parts of India? The real truth about the "communal" fraud, the whole fraud and nothing but the fraud about the disgraceful Justice Sachar Committee has come out into the open. Why is the Election Commission keeping quiet when Congress leaders talk about the "communal" glory and the grandeur of Justice Sachar Committee Report? 4.Why did the Union Finance Minister, recently announce a new "Communal" program of "COMMUNAL LOANS" by asking the Banks to refashion and restructure their lending policy by earmarking 15 per cent of the priority sector loans exclusively for the minorities? Will it not throw open the gates of all the Banks in India to the Mullahs and the Moulvis to bring to bear their religious influence even on routine technical and financial matters relating to loans and advances in the banking sector? 5.Having declared India a "secular" country under the Indian Constitution, will it not be illegal on the part of government of India to talk of religious minorities? 6.Was not Sonia Gandhi practicing "Communalism" against the Hindus in majority in India when she described the RSS as a rightist organization with a long track record of stoking the religious prejudices, inflaming the religious passions and polarizing the Indian society? Was she not aware of the Supreme Court verdict to the effect that the RSS is a purely socio-cultural organization meant for the promotion of Hindu unity and Hindu solidarity? Does she not have contempt for this considered verdict of the Supreme Court? 7.Soon after the Mumbai train blasts, Sonia Gandhi visited Mumbai and declared that "the feelings of the minority Muslims should not be hurt," in spite of being fully aware of the fact that these acts of terror were perpetrated by the Muslims with the full backing of ISI in Pakistan. Is not the UPA government treating the peaceful and law abiding Hindus of India as the Jews in Nazi Germany? In order to counter the impact of the "Communal" (!) CD floated by BJP, a known and rabidly anti-Hindu group of 27 celebrities under the leadership of Shabana Hashmi has brought out a new CD for selling their anti-Hindu secular message in the on going UP Assembly Elections. Two young Anhad volunteers, Mohammad Zabeeh Afaque and Mir Basit Hussain, have made the VCD, one-and-a-half hours in length, with �stop hate� messages from these celebrities. The most spectacular thing about the fraudulent secularism of Shabana Hashmi, her husband and their other Muslim friends and non-Muslim colleagues in the Anti-Hindu Secular Brigade is that they will never take up the cause of the organized genocide of Kashimiri Pandits in Kashmir. To sum up in the sharp words of Mohan Iyer: 1.UPA announcing quota for Muslims, on the basis of religion, is not communal. 2.Manmohan Singh, giving a clarion call that Muslims must have first access to national resources, is not communal. 3.Postponing Afzal"s hanging, for the sake of UP elections, is not communal. 4.Releasing the communally doctored Justice Sachar Report is not communal. 5.Lalu, releasing Banerjee Commission Report on Godhra carnage (when Nanavati commission was enquiring into the incident) on the eve of Bihar Elections is not communal. 6.Rahul, telling that Babri Masjid would have been safe under Gandhi dynasty, is not communal. 7.Mulayam Singh"s current attempt to close the criminal cases against SIMI terrorists is "not communal". On the other hand according to the Election Commission, the Congress and all the other "Secular Parties": A.Talking about ethnic cleansing and massacre of Hindus in Kashmir is communal. B.Talking about Bangladeshi infiltration is communal. C.Talking about Bombay, Varanasi, Coimbatore, Delhi Muslim terrorist bomb blasts, is communal. D.Talking about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh is communal. E.Talking about the greatest genocide on earth - i.e. the massacre of more than 100 millions of Hindus, during Muslim Rule for 700 years, is communal. IF THIS IS GOING TO BE THE PHILOSOPHY OF OUR SECULAR POLITICIANS AND PSEUDO-SECULAR JOURNALISTS, EVEN GOD CANNOT PREVENT THE SECOND PARTITION OF INDIA. V Sundaram, IAS, Retd.
