Has India really moved on?

Since lucknow  bench of Allahabad high court reserved its verdict on long awaited title suit on Shree Ramajanmabhoomi case in July this year  an aggressive campaign was launched from media outlets that India has moved on and has become mature enough to go beyond the polarized and identity politics and it raise serious questions about intentions and ideas behind this campaign as no one has tried to nail out those elements.

On 30th of September when judgment was delivered it was interesting to see how these media outlets interprerate this verdict. It was highly surprising for me to witness a slight bias in media coverage in favor of secular cult which has become a dominant cult in India ever India got independence. This was the very secular cult which was campaigning for supposed moving on India. The one thing which surprised me a lot on the media coverage the way media headlines were made rather than highlighting the consensus view of judges of having faith on the circumstantial evidence and belief of billions of Hindus that disputed land is the birth place of Lord Rama media went for the division of disputed land in three parts as the highlight of verdict. It was rather amusing and disgusting to see the attitude of bias media approach on this whole issue but was it media alone responsible for this role the answer will be big no, because media was only manifestation of the will of a tiny minority secular cult which want to rule India with its imposed views and propaganda.  In the broad day light of interpretation of verdict this secular cult was defeated at that very point of time as their edifice of false assumptions and propaganda has fall and broken into pieces and they we were not ready to accept the defeat and move on.  

How secularists defeated- When we talk about secularism in India we must accept one fact very prominently in our mind that secularism in India has been make hostage of fraudulent academia and anti-Hindu polity in India which has exploited it at every moment to brand the Indian spiritual and cultural eternity as the biggest hindrance in development of the nation as well as regressive step in marching towards advancement and modernity.
The stake were high on this verdict for both of parties but test of secularist cult was always high in this verdict and anticipating it very well this cult  with their progenies in media outlets campaigned aggressively that India has moved on and tried their best to deflect the whole debate from intellectual fraud and academic fraud cum secularism to genuine nationalistic ideology.

Verdict of Shree Ramajanmbhommi has been delivered in more than thousands of pages so it will be very long drawn job to read out every passage and then come out with every observations but few conclusions can be drawn and one of them is paramount that majority of judges were of consensus view that the central dome is the exact place where Hindus believe from millions of years that this is the place where shree Ram appeared and archeological survey of India report has also vindicated that a mosque was built on the ruins of a massive Hindu structure. These two conclusions must have been drawn into debate which were the biggest victory in this case and big slap on the face of secularists who always stand between shree Ramajanmbhommi movement and their false assumptions  as raising the serious doubts about  moral authority and legitimacy of the whole movement. The whole edifice of false propaganda and academic fraud of secularists and their company has been demolished with this verdict but this has never come in debate in media and the efforts were made to portray this verdict in this light of secular interpretration as one self made secular reporter from one prominent channel declared this verdict as secular verdict. This is very alarming signal as it shows no efforts were made to create any alternative approach to snatch  this whole debate from the jaws of so called secularist cult.

The whole citadel of secular cult was established on one fact that Shree Ramananmbhommi movement was nothing more other than  to incite communal passion and has nothing to do with national integration and  this whole debate with this assumptions for a long time tried to deflect the whole debate of importance of unfinished historical issues and unfulfilled issues of Hindu consciousness in nation building.

Since time immemorial Hindus had never surrendered their right to define nationalism in a way that becomes synonymous to Hindu nationalism. The apologetic thinking  and undue compromise to break the definition of spiritual and cultural eternity with Indian nationhood  bring the catastrophe of partition before us when we did not listen to the time to take the independence as an opportunity to connect ourselves with our ancestral spiritual and cultural eternity and instead of this we fall short of imported definitions without enthusing it in our context and secularism is one of them which has got mixed up in Indian context with liberal leftist cum atheist anti Hindu cult. This cult in spite of its tiny minority reach has ruled the elite and acaedmeic world in India but the verdict on Ayodhya issue has proved that beginning of the end of their era and  has started and new churning in ideological world in India will be beginning soon and in this way India has moved on?

Israel’s Muslims reach out: strategy, desperation or appeasement?

In last month’s two things happen which could be interprerated as strange things to some extent. Ambassador of Israel to India Mark Sofer visited an Islamic shrine in Ajmer shrine of a sufi chisti and there he was greeted and warmly welcomed by local Muslim worshippers and encouraged with his warm welcome ambassador told the audience how Jews and Muslims are very much similar in their various traditions and they are twin sisters in some way or the other. This statement was marked with greater caution among others not only among Non-muslims but even larger part of Urdu news papers did not share the feelings of Mark Sofer as it may have anticipated by him. Usually Urdu press is always filled with medieval conspiracy theories for Jews and it was not less than shocking for them to witness an Israel diplomat visiting Islamic shrine and igniting the debate of some religious similarities between them. On the other hand other Non-Muslims in India, who don’t care much about Arab-Israel politics more than having a perception about it imposed by media outlets, were neither curious nor disappointed. But being a critique of Middle Eastern politics and political observer I thought it my duty to decipher the reasons and repercussions of this gesture. Read more

Time to policy shift not to bleed and weep

The full blown crisis in Kashmir has not been averted but we are being shown that Government of India had been managed it from going out of Hand but if we try to see the realities on the ground we would be highly disappointed on the facts. Today again news came from some sections that CCS ( Cabinet committee on security) is going to sit to formulate a possible strategy to gradually cut down the special powers of army personnel in Kashmir by scaling down the famous AFSPA ( Armed forces special power act) . It seems the all party delegation in J&K has somehow has succumbed to the propaganda of Islamists and non performing Omar Abdullah government that the crisis in Kashmir in some way is related with special powers of Army. Before this all party delegation was designated for Kashmir visit one unilateral effort from cabinet was unable to move on as consensus was not being made on this issue as defense minister had to take care of Armed forces who are facing a war like situation in Kashmir with stone pelters targeting them and on other hand these stone pelters seems hand in glove with those groups who have vested interest in Kashmir for a long time.  Due to this fuss cabinet had not been able to come to any conclusion and an all party delegation was designated to visit the J &K to assess the ground situation there. Now news are coming out that CCS will explore the options for gradual withdrawal of special powers of Army. Read more

The Goldstone Report – A Study in Bias

Israel is appalled and disappointed by the report published on 15 September 2009 by the United Nations Human Rights Council’s Gaza Fact Finding Mission. The Report unfairly describes Israel’s defense of its citizens as war crimes, while ignoring the deliberate strategy of Hamas to operate from within or behind the civilian population. Read more

New Government’s Iran dilemma

General Elections in India are in last leg and next week people’s verdict will be wide open. In wake of an anticipated fractured verdict the deadlock for the formation of new government could extend for few weeks but it seems quite clear that it would be either Congress led government or BJP led government at the centre. South Asia forum has specific information that two national parties has  agreed upon to this point that regional satraps would not be allowed to lead the coalition and they will be forced to support either of one in national parties.

Political Islam in the offing

Few weeks ago I predicted in my article that this general election is pregnant with a hidden message of Muslim assertion in coming days with alignment of leftists and Islamists as well.  Above mentioned article was written when not even first phase of voting in general elections took place. Now till date two phases of general elections are completed and voting pattern of Muslims in various states has been known.  The Most populated state Uttar Pradesh has shown some trend of Muslim voting which tells story in itself.

What will be the message of general elections?

India has been gripped under fever of general elections as after one week first phase of voting in few constituencies will take place. Being the largest democracy of the world general elections in India always has some curiosity across the world. For last six decades India has proved credibility of its democratic institutions as well as maturity and it has received praise and respect for its successful functioning of these institutions. The final result of 15th Loksabha will come out on 16th on May and verdict of people will be wide open but it is quite clear that process of formation of the new government will last long just like Israel where several political groups come together to form a government and it took few weeks to materialize. Indian next parliament is very much going to receive fractured mandate and no single political party or formation will be able to muster the majority figure of 272. In this article election results which have been supposed will not be discussed because it is quite clear that anything could happen after elections and any political group or party could go in any camp irrespective of its ideological leanings except of two things that Congress and BJP will not join each other  and Left parties will not join BJP.

War on Terror and has turned into war between Obama and Osama

Since new president Barak Obama has took reigns in United States few things has changed. One of them is the security atmosphere in South Asian region as well as priorities of new administration of Oval office in this region. Last week when president of United States Barak Obama announced his new policy towards Afghanistan and Pakistan which has also been  called Af-pak policy it was first chance to judge the diplomatic competence of this young charismatic president of United States.

I want to remind readers that I was one of the rarest of rare in India to predict that policies of Barak Obama will not be helpful for India. My prediction was based on a reason that Barak Obama has some different design in his mind as for as south Asian region is concerned and this design is based on the regional solution. Although president George W Bush has done not any favor to India in its fight against cross border terrorism but he filled all the dots of local Islamic separatist groups in one global jihadi ambition but Barak Obama is going to deal the situation of Islamic terrorism not merely as an ideology but according to local geo-political realities. To some extent from theoretical point of view it seems very lustrous but its consequences are different. Read more

India is under secular emergency

The young leader of BJP and and its loksabha candidate for Philibhit in Uttar Pradesh  Varun Gandhi who surrendered before court on 28th of March now has been booked under NSA( national security act) for inciting hatred among communities  and some other allegations. According to district administration of Philibhit this harsh and punitive act has been imposed on Varun Gandhi because he made a speec h in Philibhit 0n 5th and 6th of March which is provocative and at the same time he also become instrumental in inciting the mob on 28th of March to take law in its hands  before courting arrest in Philibhit disrtict.

It was unprecedented advisory from Election Commision in history of republic India and BJP cried foul on this advisory and fall havily on Election commission for encrocahing its territory. Read more

Why strong Indo-Israel relation is needed

One week ago South Asia Forum organized a seminar on the issue of “challenges before India and Israel and areas of co-operation”. This was first public exposure for this think tank which came in existence last year with a vision to make India super power with larger role in South Asia and global politics. This think tank is manifestation of an ambition of youthful and energetic voice which wants development and security but in last few years this world has become so insecure to live and without security one can not think of development.

Now time has come to discuss on these matters frankly to insure security for our generation and next generation. When people talk about prevailing situation of insecurity everywhere in the world they talk about vague issues but could we say with an authority that this situation of insecurity is merely a result of unemployment, frustration and acts of some misguided youths. No, we can not say this and if we are saying this it means either we are trying to be politically correct or we are unable to read the situation. South Asia forum is an effort to break the taboo of political correctness and shed out pseudo liberalism. When we talk about pseudo liberalism it identify those elements in society who are aware of problem, its symptom and some times also support the ways to fight it out but when it comes public platform they start echoing the words of political correctness to build their image as liberal.
