To our Bharati readers from India and elsewhere
Dear Indians.
We have to repeat the same content for new Bharati (Indian) readers over and over again–so we thought we would create this short article which is a pre-requisite to making comments for us to read.
We at Rupee news present facts, always authenticated, and always referenced. We do not make up facts, we simply report them. While you may find some articles thought provoking, you may be surprised to know that many of of our articles are based on stories from Bharati sources–The Hindu, the Statesman, The Hindustan Times, the Indian Express, and from sites like HinduUnity.org and Dalit Freedom Network.
We present unbiased news and are critical of China, US, UK, France, Germany, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan among other. Why would Bharat be an exception?
Many of you write to Rupee News with the same old notions that are thought to you in your temples–the same old rhetoric against Pakistan, Pakistanis and Islam.
We are Rupee news respect your opinions, but respectfully disagree with your interpretation of events and ideas.
Some, though not all of you seem to have a monopoly on truth. We reject that bigoted version of veracity.
The wet dream about doomsday of Pakistan is part of the temple indoctrination. Nehru wrote about it in 1945 and 1947. Since then every temple indoctrinated Hindu that can write, speak or spell, repeats it on a dialy basis. It will never happen. Bharat is headed towards Shiv Sena xenophobia, dictatorial RSS Ram Raj, Stalanist Bajrang Dal Hinduist governance, and fascist BJP Saffron dictatorship.
Sri Lankan cricketers were attacked by Bharati sponsored LTTE terrorists. Bharat has spread terror to Hyderabad, Kashmir, Assam, Junagarh, Manvadar, and exported terror to China, Sikkim, Bhutan, Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Bharat’s balkanization is inevitable. The Karachi Stock Exchange existed 30 years before Mumbai even thought about stocks. Bharat hosts most of the world’s ppor, 75% of its population survives under $2 per day. Delhi enslaves 450 million Dalits, marginalizes 150 million Muslims, and is headed towards 50 states most of which want distance from Delhi–some less, some more–Kashmir and Assam don’t want anything to do with India–Telangana, Gujarat and Maharashtra have different ideas of what “India” should be. Dr. Kancha is right–the next couple of decades will witness “Post Hindu India” where the 450 million Dalits, Shudras and Untouchables will bolt from Hinduism–leaving behind a rump 100 million Hindus to fend for themselves among the majority of Muslims, Hindus and Christians.
Does Bharat feel any remorse the incessant support to the murderers of the LTTE in Lanka, the barbarians of the TTP in Pakistan, and the terrorists of Tibet? Didn’t Bharat support the hooligans in Nepal, the killers of the BLA, the bombers of the Jundallah, the violence in Bangladesh and the coup makers in the Maldives. What about the massacre of the razakars in taking over Hyderabad, and the genocide against the 450 million Dailts, Untouchables, Tirbals and Shudras. Do you want the world to forget the massacre of 3000 Muslim in Gujarat just a few years ago. Do you want to hide the enslavement of 450 million Dalits. Didn’t Mankeshaw recruit 80,000 Hindus into the Mukti Bahni and sent them across the border to rape, pillage and murder dressed up as Pakisani soldiers, and destroyed the infrastructure of East Pakistan. Didn’t the Rakhi Bhani tried to incorporate Bangladesh into Bharat?
Alluding to the attack on the Federal Investigative Agency building in Lahore that left 15 dead Monday, Rehman Malik had said: “All the weapons are coming from Afghanistan. The signatures of India are very much there in weapons seized in (Pakistan’s) tribal areas.”
Malik added that Pakistan would present “evidence” of India’s alleged involvement in the attacks whenever talks are held between the two sides.
Bharat will return to 560 states that existed before the British arrived—and indeed what existed during the Company Raj and British rule.
Pakistan is envious of China, and admires their leadership and systems–Islamabad only looks at the mess in Delhi with disgust. No one admires or envies anything in Bharat.
On every matrix of critical success factors, Pakistan is either better or the same–this from a country that in 1947 had nothing–one dilapidated textile mill, one horrid university and one jute mill that did not work. Today Pakistan has 150 universities, and boasts the highest per capita GNP (repeat–per capita GNP) in South Asia.
Bharat has been terror central sending terror groups like the LTTE to Lanka, Rakhi Bahni to Bangladesh, militants to TIbet, insurgents to Bhutan, armed hooligans to Nepal–and of course it send armed terrorists to Pakistan. DOn’t talk about terror.
Your presumption that Pakistanis are not working on economic issues is part of your sick media that won’t let you see the reality.
Pakistan has enjoyed a 6% growth rate since 1947. Bharat had an anemic 3% growth rate derisively known as the Hindu growth rate for 50 of the past 60 years–the last decade not withstanding.
Bharat is one of the biggest debtor nations on the planet with debt from $250 billion to $3 trillion. 75% of Bharatis live on less than $2 per day. Most of the worlds poor make Bharat their home. 450 million Dalits, Untouchables and the like are slaves–half the population of Delhi, Mumbia, Kolkota, Benaras, Lucknow sleep on the sidewalk and the city charges them rent. When you get of the plane in Mumbai–people are defecating in the airport floor–and you guys talk about economic development.
In every human endeavor Pakistan is better or at par with Bharat. On one or two issues Bharat is slightly better. Pakistan was part of the most neglected and backward area of South Asia. The literacy rate in 1947 was 16%–today it is 65% and that of Indian Muslims still languishes at 26%. In 1947 Pakistan has one steel mill and one dilapidated textile mill and one non-functional university. Today Pakistan produces everything on the planet and exports planes–something that Bharat cannot do. It has 150 universities, some of the world class like Agha Khan University and GIST.
Those afflicted by Pakistanphobia cannot see this, and will never be able to see this.
Anti-Pakistanis will keep harping on the same old tunes taught to in Bharati KG classes.
Pakistan has more than 80 TV channels, most of them discussing news and issues. Pakistanis also get international and Bharati channels. They are very well aware of their neighborhood and about the West.
Bharatis do not get Pakistani channels and keep on repeating what was taught to them in the temple
Pakistan is a Nuclear power which can and will destroy Bharat if it tries to step one inch into Pakistani territory. Neither American sanctions, nor threats have changed the national consensus on resisting foreign occupation and Bharati infiltration into Afghanistan.
The information given about Pakistan is full of errors, and based on the Bharati media which only reports negative news about Pakistan
Let us look at 60 years not just this year. Some Bharatis have not heard of the Suez $20 billion deal which is on hold–it will be sorted out soon, possibly to another vendor
Turkey and Pakistan are building a $20 billion train line from Islamabad to Istanbul via Tehran linking all the countries to the EU. Pakistan and Tajikistan is building roads to link themselves to Uzbekistan with Russian help. Iran and Pakistan are building $7.5 billion Pipeline. This semester Pakistani Stock market was one of the best performing in the world. Pakistani stock provide a huge opportunity.
The US has not refused Civilian Nuclear deal. It cannot. It needs Pakistan. It will come, but may take a little time. Even the Bharati 123 has not been operationalized. Pakistan has been recognized as a Nuclear Power at the Summit. This is a first step…other things will follow.
The powerful Bharati lobby could not create sanctions on Pakistan or stop the KL bill or F-16s–its potency is a thing of the past. It is only the banya mentality that thinks that money is the only thing.
Wiki is not accepted as a reference even in KG schools in the US
In every human endeavor, Pakistan has either equaled, or surpassed Bharat. In a couple of areas that Bharat is better, it is only marginally better–this from a country which was the most backward part of South Asia in 1947 with only one dilapidated textile mill, one broken down jute mill and one non-functional university. today Pakistan manufactures everything, and exports K-8 planes and is exporting JF-17 Thunders. It is far ahead in missile and Nuclear technology than Bharat moving to Plutonium and 3rd strike capability.
In the past decade the Pakistani GDP tripled.
With people like Modi–the butcher of Gujerat, LK Adhvani who wants to convert Maharashtra into Ram Raj–there will be fifty states each independent of Delhi in the next decade.
Please read Dr. Kancha’s book titled “Post-Hindu India” and “Why I am not a Hindu”. Once 450 million Dalits, and Untouchables dump the slavery imposed upon them, they will convert to Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. The rump “Upper caste” will be surrounded in a sea of Muslims.
The Maoists predict that they will take over Delhi in a decade.
Pakistanphobia is a psychological problem and Pakistan obsession needs medication
Here is a partial list of accomplishments of the Indus Pakistanis.
The capacity of Pakistan to sustain some fifteen major disarticulations in polity, power, and structure and still preserve a national identity is a phenomenon one is tempted to explain by recourse to the supernatural. Pakistan which has been pummelled by external events (three wars with India, secession of Bangladesh, 3.5 million Afghan refugees) and disrupted by internal fissures (4 periods of martial law totalling 27 years and ethnic violence in Sindh) to a degree which no other state established since 1945 has suffered. In this respect it stands as an exemplar of a nation whose adversities “common sense” might suggest make its viability impossible. Yet its continued existence defies the reality induced by such speculation. The enormity and persistence of these difficulties and the resilience of the nation in absorbing and somehow surviving them must be regarded with awe if not admiration.” RALPH BRAIBANTI
