The end of “India”

Posted on February 9, 2010 by Moin Ansari

Bharat’s potential. Bharat (aka India) faces many challenges. Like the Switzerland of today, the country on the Ganges and the Brahamutra is challenged by growing xenophobia that has taken its tool in Gujarat and now threatens the life and property of one of its biggest bread earners–the movie industry in Mumbai. Beset with ethnic strife, a profound religious divide, steeped in deep penury,  straddleD with humongous military spending, burdened with one of the largest debts on the planet, and constant violence among the different castes and states–the basic idea of “India” is being questioned all over the world and within the country itself.  The question analysts and students of political science are asking is…

Can India as a country survive?

What is the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)? What does Raj Thackeray want? Shiv Sena is a racist organization like the Nazi party in Germany. It is against Jews, Christians, Muslims and Dalits (Untouchables). It is against all foreigners in Bharat (aka India). It has banned Australian cricketers from Mumbai and it harasses all those who it thinks do not speak the Marhati language. Sena vs. RSS: Saffron Fascists fight to lead Maharashtra secession. The Shiv Sena has given an ultimatum of 40 days to all cabbies to learn the language or leave Mumbai. India’s worst nightmare come true: Long term strategic malaise

  • Mumbai belongs to Marathi people only– Thackeray threatens with weapons
  • Will Shiv Sena Marhati xenophobia destroy Bollywood?
  • Wives & daughters Mortgaged in India
  • Linguistic chauvinism and national unity

    • It is currently sending out death threats to Italians, Australians, Bangladeshis, North-Indians and Pakistanis. It even opposes celeberating Valentine’s Day on Feb 14th

    The world is asking–is this the end of “India” as we know it. Will Maharastra secceede from the Union? Will the commercial center of Mumbai be destroyed? Will the Bollywood be aphxiated? Will Hindu Ram Raj be imposed in Mumbai? Will all North Indians have to leave Mumbai? Hindu Origins of the Two Nation Theory

    Mumbai only the tip of the iceberg.

    • A few weeks ago, there was much discussion in Bharat (aka India) about the creation of another state. Within hours of that discussion–all of Bharat was rocked asking for the creation of about 50 states–each one in varying degrees of autonomy and secession from the Center. Assam, and the seven sisters of the Notheast have been fighting for complete independence from Delhi. 40% of the land mass of Bharat is in the hands of the Maosits and Naxals and Delhi has no control over the area. Kashmir wants freedom, freedom from India and freedom to join Pakistan.

    There are rumblings in Bodoland, Tamil, Mizuram–the list is endless. Almost every Indian state has an insurgency that has lasted more than a decade.

    There there are the internal fissures–450 million Dalits and Untouchables want to leave Hinduism and are preparing to convert to Buddhism, Christianisy and Islam to free themselves from the caste system where they are enslaved in the lowest rung of the ladder.

    The 150 million marginalized Muslims crave for a piece of the economic pie. According to the Saachar report they are heavily discriminated against and are not even 2nd class citizens, their patriotism to India questioned at the drop of a hat (as the Shah Rukh Khan episode demonstrates).

    The Sikhs have strived for, and on the surface lost their fight for an independent Khalistan. However Khalistan lives in the hearts and minds of every Khalsa, and given the opportunity they would like to run their own country.

    The idea of “India” is dead. The world is waiting for the fat lady to sing.

    Failed States. The Shev Sena vials of hate about “Mumbai for Maharashtrians only” is more insidious than the most vocal Nazi racism that was built on ethnic cleansing and deportation of “aliens”. The Shiv Sena “war against North-Indian’s” is more profound than the chauvinistic malevolence of the KKK that propagates the racial superiority of a race. The Thakaray’s supremacy vitriol against the “Italians” is actually rhetoric against all Christians. When the ignoble Sena bans Australian cricketers from Mumbai–it is actually spewing malignity and malicious venom against all people of European origin. The villainous Sena’s ethnocentrism opposing Mayawati is really its misogynic policy of continued enslavement of the Dalits.

    The Sena’s obnoxious diatribes against Jews and the Chinese are not isolated murmers–they are part and parcel of the Swastika heralding philosophy that sees Hindu dominance over all other faiths and races. The Shiv Sena vitriol against Muslims is disguised as a tirade against the Khans. While the press reports and the Shiv Sena TV and newspaper outlets simply mention “Khan“, the term term “Khan” implies all Muslims. Shiv Sen’a odious campaign against “foreigners” in Mumbai is to displace and move out all Muslims and all North Indians from Maharashtra, by coercion, and intimidation. The Shiv Sena squalid outbursts against all Australians, Nepalese, and Bangladeshis is an outburst against humanity. India intoxicated by meager success is blind to real self-portrait of caste infested penury and balkanization

    The current virulence of the Shiv Sena is nothing new to South Asia. Shiv Sena’s KKK type of philosophers Lala Hardayal said this in the 40s–and this part and parcel of the Thakaray philosophy:—

    “I declare that the future of the Hindu race, of Hindustan and of the Punjab, rests on these four pillars:

    (1) Hindu Sangathan [extermination by murder or deportation],

    (2) Hindu Raj,

    (3) Shuddhi [conversion] of Moslems, and

    (4) Conquest and Shuddhi of Afghanistan and the Frontiers.

    So long as the Hindu nation does not accomplish these four things, the safely of our children and great-grandchildren will be ever in danger, and the safety of the Hindu race will be impossible. The Hindu race has but one history, and its institutions are homogeneous. But the Musalmans and Christians are far removed from the confines of Hindustan, for their religions are alien and they love Persian, Arab and European institutions. Thus, just as one removes foreign matter from the eye, Shuddhi must be made of these two religions. Afghanistan and the hilly regions of the frontier were formerly part of India, but are at present under the domination of Islam. . . .Lala Hardayal in Pratap of Lahore.

    The venomousness of the Shiv Sena and related bodies have to be seen in the light of the philosophy of those that the Thakarays worship.

    Contrary to the common belief that Jinnah originated the two-nation theory, actually it was Savarkar who propounded the theory years before the Muslim League embraced the idea. Savarkar had commanded all the Muslims to leave ‘Bharat’ to pave the way for the establishment of Hindu Rashtra. When Jinnah introduced his two-nation theory, Savarkar announced, “I have no quarrel with Mr. Jinnah’s two-nation theory… It is a historical fact that Hindus and Muslims are two nations.”

    “His (Savarkar’s) doctrine was Hindutva, the doctrine of Hindu racial supremacy, and his dream was of rebuilding a great Hindu empire from the sources of the Indus to those of the Brahmaputra. He hated Muslims. There was no place for them in the Hindu society he envisioned.” (Freedom at Midnight, by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins).

    So the hate campaign against Muslims was well in place even before the partition of erstwhile British India. This and many other significant factors forced Jinnah to demand a separate nation for Muslims as he believed that Muslims would not be safe in India — a prophetic declaration indeed! There is no denying the fact that Jinnah was secular to the marrow and would never have wished to cut ties with India, but circumstances compelled him to do so. However, he had not harbored grudges against India or its leaders. He had kept his house on Malabar Hill, thinking he could weekend there, while running his country from Karachi on weekdays, but destiny had something else in store for the estranged neighbors of the Asia Partition.

    When Nathuram Godse pumped three bullets into Gandhi, a section of the Hindu community compared him with Judas. The writing was on the wall. The divide was evident. In some areas people mourned the death of Gandhi, and in other areas they distributed sweets, held celebrations, and demanded the release of Godse. Gandhi’s crime was that he had demanded security for Muslims.

    The seeds of partition were actually sown by the stalwarts of Hindu Mahasabha, primarily the quartet of Savarkar, Gawarikar, Apte, and Nathuram Godse. Independent India’s history is testimony to the fact that in a conflict between the forces of secular nationalism and religious communalism, the latter has always ruled the roost. Secular forces have more often than not ended up playing into the hands of communal forces. Such has been the history of independent India, and it is again on display in Jammu.

    India’s Security nightmares: Naxalites, Mioram, Tamilland, Khalistan, 7 sisters of Northeast, 450 million Untouchable Dalits, Kashmiris, 150 million Muslims. Mumbai the commercial center of Bharat (aka India) today looks and feels like Pre-Weimar Germany, where the Jews lived in fear of being deported and killed. Bharat’s Maoist insurgency

    Cracks in India: 40% of “India” not under Government control. Blaming the ISI cannot dampen the 89 Indigenous Indian insurgencies. The Thackerays are using the Gujerat model where the blatant genocide of 3000 Muslims forced out 300,000 Muslims. mr. Modi’s machine ensures that hese poor souls cannot return to their villages.

    While there is much discussion of the Jaish and the Lashkar in the media, the international press has not realised the profound evil that resides in the Senas, Dals and the Sangs of Bharat (aka India). The lashkars rose up as a response to occupation, aggression and genocide. The Senas and the Sangs had their genesis in “Shuddhi and Sangathan” (Deport, kill or Convert) philosophies of the forties. The RSS and the Shiv Sena type of organization proliferate the Bharati landscape. They are armed, trained, and full of venom against the Muslims, the Christians, and the Dalits and Shudras. The violence perpetuated on the Dalits and the Christians in Orissa and Bihar is mimicked on the rape and genocide inflicted on the Muslims of Bihar and other places.

    MUMBAI: Stepping up its vitriolic attack on Shah Rukh Khan, Shiv Sena today branded the actor as a “traitor” for his comments on Pakistani cricketers’ participation in IPL but in a U-turn said it will not oppose the screening of his new film ‘My Name is Khan’.

    “Let Shah Rukh release the film with the blessings of the Italian woman (Sonia Gandhi) and Yuvraj (Rahul Gandhi) without any protection and let it run in any theatre anywhere in the country. Sena will not oppose it,” Sena chief Bal Thackeray said in an editorial in party mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.

    The Sena had earlier threatened to stall the release of the film in the metropolis where posters of the movie were pulled down and theatre owners warned against its screening.

    “A Khan named Shah Rukh tells us to love Pakistan but nobody feels suffocated due to his treachery,” he said.

    “Traitors, do whatever you want to do with the blessings of Congress. Sena won’t stop you. Why should the heads of Shiv Sainiks bleed and they be jailed without any reason,” the editorial said.

    Today the Shiv Sena is forcing the cab drivers to learn Marhati–or face deportation. Yesterday the same type of organization forced Muslims and Christians to sing religious hymns which contradicted their religious beliefs. In the forties, the Vandhe Mahtram was forced on the Muslims and it forced the government of the Indian National Congress to collapse. In the recent past the BJP has not only ruled Bharat. Today the xenophobic Shiv Sena rules Mumbai. This is like the KKK wining the elections in New York and asking all the cab drivers to learn Latin. Red Nepal: Clear and present danger to India

    It goes beyond SRK and his movies. The Shiv Sena has banned the Australians from Mumbai, and even the Australian players have been threatened.

    the visitors are wary of threats from organisations like the Shiv Sena who threatened to attack Australian cricketers over the alleged racist attacks down under. The Australians would be advised not to venture out of their hotels or wear their team colours outside the stadiums. Bob Nicholls, the Australian chief of security for the IPL stated that the security arrangements were satisfactory. “The times that we would be most concerned about is when they are out and about on their own, we will be giving them a list of dos and don’ts. It is pretty straightforward, the greater risk is if people are going out on their own rather than in a team environment, and not to go out advertising that they are Aussies, wearing Aussie shirts. The same advice has been given to the Australian hockey team []for the World Cup],” Nicholls was quoted as saying.

    Shane Watson, Cameron White, David Hussey, David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Ryan Harris, Dirk Nannes and Shaun Tait are among the 21 players from Australia contracted to play the IPL. “The security situation in India is not what we would like it to be, there are concerns, the threat level does remain high. There are concerns generally outside of the Shiv Sena thing. Shiv Sena is obviously a particular area of concern for the Aussies, but from our perspective, we look at the team as a whole,” he said. “And what I can say is that the level of protection we are providing for the general threat is greater than if we were implementing security strategy purely for the Shiv Sena threat, therefore we believe the players will be safe. At the moment there doesn’t seem to be any acts of violence happening against Australians in India.” India

    Bharati states are based on language. The current rioting in Mumbai and Maharashtra was inevitable. The formation of states on the basis of language and ethnicity was wrong. Bharat had 560 states. It tried to amalgamate the states into linguistic havens. The Language based havens have not become xenophobic forcing Delhi to form fifty such states–each seeking its own agenda and all seeking some distance from Delhi in terms of sovereignty and secession. Kashmir and Assam for example want total independence from Delhi. Othe states are in varying degrees of confusion and chaos–putting the entire idea of “India” into flux.

    • Shiv Sena, known for its Marathi chauvinism, began to make its presence felt, mainly through the vituperative utterances of its leader, Bal Thackeray, against outsiders. Now, a breakaway group,
    • the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Bal Thackeray’s nephew, Raj, has made its appearance. One India
    • Claiming to stand for the Marathi manoos (men), their politics of sub-nationalism is marked by violence against immigrants and perceived “aliens” – whether south Indians in the 1960s, Muslims in the nineties or north Indians today. One India
    • Raj Thackeray led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has demanded 80 per cent of the jobs in private companies be reserved for the Marathi speaking habitants
    • Raj Thackeray, chief MNS had given a statement that MNS will bring taxi operations in Mumbai to a standstill if permits are not given to Marathi persons only, they will simply not allow any relaxation in the policy.
    • It was on Wednesday that the decision was taken by the cabinet to give taxi permits to those who resided in Maharashtra for 15 years and who could speak, read and write Marathi. Little About

    The Shiv Sena rule in Mumbai is like the KKK winning the elections in Los Angeles, and then asking all Hispanics to leave California. It is like the government in LA forcing all the cab drivers to learn German because the KKK reveres Hitler. The Shiv Sena fascism is affecting the business climate of Mumbai and impacting the image of India

    • The evils of Xenophobia has destroyed many cities and countries. Germany ruled by the Nazis were so enamored by their race and language that they wanted all Germans under a single government.

    The rise and rise of the RSS and Shiv Sena have complicated the politics of Bharat (aka India) and their popular support shake the so called secular foundations of the country which was formed as an anti-thesis to religion, and race.

    Today, the bigoted racists who murdered Mohandas Gandhi are running the center of commerce and currency of Bharat (aka India). The Shiv Sena is run by one of the worst racists on the planet–Mr. Bal Thakaray. His nephew runs another racist outfit now called MNS. Both organizations are threatening all HIndi speaking people to leave their state of Maharashtra. This is very similar to what the General Mankeshaw thugs did in Bengal and this is exactly what is happening in Gujarat.

    Maharashtra is for Maharashtrians say the Shiv Sena and the MNS. There is insanity in their logic. Their goal is to give employment to the suffering farmers of their state. Their inane logic appeals to the people of Mumbai and Maharashtra. If they throw out or scare away the penury stricken Cab drivers, then the farmers can get jobs in Mumbai

    The Shiv Sena is on a rampage in Mumbai and may destroy Bollywood. It has come out against many of the major Bollywood actors, and is waging an Anti-Hindi campaign in Mumbai and the entire state. This cannot be good for Mumbai, nor for Bollywood.

    “We banned Pakistani cricketers despite the fact that we are cricket lovers. The ban is because of Pakistan’s support to terror acts in India, including 26/11 Mumbai attacks,” Thackeray said.

    Shah Rukh who supports Pakistan gets protection, the editorial added.

    Unfazed by the Sena threat, the actor stuck to his stand that Pakistani players should have been included in the upcoming IPL and that “Mumbai is for all Indians”.

    A statement in ‘Dopahar Ka Saamna’, a sister publication of ‘Saamana’, had said, “On one hand, while SRK is openly displaying his love for Pakistani players, actor Aamir Khan has even put nationalistic sentiments in his utterances on this issue.

    “According to Aamir, if any cricketer is good, he would like to have him in his team, it makes no difference to him, which country he belongs to.”

    Shah Rukh had said, “I don’t know what the issue is all about…I don’t know what I am supposed to retract. Am I supposed to retract the fact I’m an Indian but I don’t want anyone to come to my country.

    “What all that I’ve said is that I would like people to come to my country to participate in the biggest event and it scares me to say anything because our stakes are very high.”

    The film, which marks the return of the famous on-screen pair Shah Rukh and Kajol after a gap of eight years, is a love-story in the backdrop of post 9/11 America. PTIFirst Published : 06 Feb 2010 12:11:21 PM ISTLast Updated : 06 Feb 2010 01:11:37 PM IST. Sena dubs Shah Rukh a traitor. The film will be released worldwide on February 12.

    If The Shiv Sena is successful, or even partially successful–it will impact one of the biggest industries of Bharat–Bollywood. Can Bollywood survive Shiv Sena?

    The Bharati diplomats and the press acknowledge the Pakistani victory in Afghanistan and its deft handling of the situaion.

    Described as the “gatekeepers” to the Taliban, Pakistan would have a crucial role in delivering the Taliban to the table, either through coercion or persuasion. But it is being careful not to be seen as muscling in to impose its own agenda in Afghanistan. The mantra in Islamabad is that the process should be “Afghan-led”.

    “Pakistan is perhaps better placed than any other country in the world to support Afghan reintegration and reconciliation. Why? We speak the same language, we have common tribes, a common religion, we have a commonality of history, culture and tradition” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi told the Guardian. “But it [Pakistani mediation] depends on whether we are asked to do so. If asked, the government of Pakistan would be happy to facilitate.” Pakistan: vindication on Afghanistan, assertive with India // Nirupama Subramanian. Hindustan Times.

    The diplomatic defeat in London for Bharat has long term implications for Bharat and for Pakistan.

    There is a widespread impression in India that this country was marginalised in the London conference on Afghanistan and the Indian view, that there were no good and bad Taliban, was ignored. It was decided to negotiate with the Taliban that will come forward to collaborate with the Karzai government, and substantial funds were earmarked to win over the possible collaborative sections of the Taliban.Tags : Taliban, Pakistan, India.The good, the bad, and the ugly Indian Express | Smaller K.
