Sangh bullying: Don’t say Hindu terrorism, don’t say saffron terrorism either

By TCN Staff Writer,

New Delhi: The first picture of Hindutva terrorism appeared in the media about two years ago was of a young lady in saffron attire. She was Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur nabbed in connection with the Malegaon bombing. She was followed by arrest of one and half dozen people, all attached to saffron outfits of Sangh Parivar, in the same and other terror cases.

But the Sangh and its political branch BJP almost bullied the Government and media forcing them not to use the word Hindu terrorism, a counterpart of Islamic terrorism. Emboldened they have now pounced on Home Minister P Chidambaram for just mentioning saffron terrorism in his address at police chiefs conference in Delhi two days back

Part of bullying tactics, the BJP and Shiv Sena MPs yesterday disturbed the Lok Sabha and today they have brought the proceedings of the Rajya Sabha to a halt, demanding clarification from the government. They are ‘outraged’ that the minister used the word terrorism with saffron.

No doubt terrorism cannot be affiliated to any religion be it Hinduism or Islam. That’s why after pressure from the Sangh, a section of media now uses Hindutva terrorism in place of Hindu terrorism. But why outrage at the use of word saffron terrorism? Is saffron name of or part of any religion or is it name of any Hindu organization?

BJP: Bade Jaldi Rang Badalne Wale Party

Same BJP (Be Jan Party-lifeless party) has all praise for Chidambram few months back.

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Modi--BJP-CMs-praise-Centre-s-internal...

Now they are demanding resiganation. BJP (Bade Jaldi Rang Badalne Wale Party)

Have some backbone guys.

MR.PC knows that "Muslims are gullible"

I want our Muslim brothers and sisters not become chess pawns in the game played by politicians.
So much of a discussion generated here proves that the objective of the Congress party has been achieved again.
They must be laughing!
Mulim leadership should explain what is more important to the community?
Should we be gloating at MR.PC's statements or demanding for the rights of poor and needy of our community??
Dear readers: Think and talk.

They have gone one step ahead!!

The use of non standard words like Hindutva or Parivar should not be allowed to be used because it does not allow the reader to understand the word. This holds true for the non-Indians who are opinion makers at global level. The people who say they are hurt for Hindu/Saffron being used as a flag to terror should be told that though there is nothing religious about terrorism but they have brought disrepute to their religion. We must recall the comments of the judge in 1993 blast case, where he used similar language. If it hurts the Hindus, let them feel what must have been the mental condition of Muslims many times in the past. In the garb of a documentary film maker, Vijay Kumar went on hate campaign in US and was caught. But what his friend Khandelwal has to say is that he went there to educate people what Islamist, Jihadi, Fundamentalist terror has done to India. Similarly people like Tarun Vijay claim that they are journo too and lo and behold, the secular English media of India invites the Congress aplogists and these Hindu right elements for discussion. If at all they have someone Muslim, he/she is from Pakistan!! Now the things have reached the stage where people who have been ministers and Dy PMs say that calling terror as saffron is affront to a religion (why now only) and that it is insulting a nation. Have people forgotten the use of fake beards, caps and sherwanis at Malegaon, Purna, Jalna and Nander? There is nothing 'national' about Hindu terror. Going by these words, we would be in bigger mess ala Pakistan. If a terrorist is Islamic, there are Hindu and Christian terrorists, insitutional terrosim of any kind like sarkari terrorism in India or the crusades of US et al cannot be wished away just for being instititional or for lack of naming the religion.

Ramesh Ji - Namaskaar !

Ramesh 27 August 2010 - 11:01 pm. - under title: yeah

Ramesh Ji you have nicely ended your comment taking name of Bhagwaan Raam. Bhagwaan Raam never preached hinsa, nor asked other's places of worship be demolished to ILLEGALLY construct a temple at that place. Bhagwaan Raam may shower his curse, rather than blessing such person(s).

I wish to expand your comment by saying:

Shri Raam Jayam
Raam ka bharam rakham
Jhooth nahi boolan
Hinsa nahi karan

Thank you.

It is Sangh Pariwar RSS terror,nothing to do with Hinduism

Indians need to be objective.
Do not call this Hindu terror or Hinduism terror, most of Hindu citizens are just and abide in peace with their Muslim neighbours in the country.
This phenomenon is Sangh Pariwar-RSS terror OR saffron terror; this nomenclture is important to distinguish the perpetrators of these crimes which started with the assassination of the Mahatma of India.

Who is this Mahatma ?

Who is this Mahatma ?

I agree to your comment "Anonymous" - It is Sangh Parivaar

"Anonymous" @ 29 August 2010 - 12:45am. under title: It is Sangh Pariwar / RSS terror, nothing to do with Hinduism.

I absolutely agree with comment and your title. Otherwise, Sangh Parivaar WOULD NOT have LOST two consecutive National Elections.

However, Hindus need to step-out of their "shell", break silence, "condemn" Sangh Parivaar. They have hijacked "Hindu Religion" and ABUSING it to score political points - which is giving a WRONG SIGNAL.

It is THE DUTY of Liberal Hindus to come forward and RESTRAIN these MISCHIEF-MONGERS, STOP them from Hijacking Hindu Religion - before the situation becomes UNCONTROLLABLE.

Sangh Parivaar have now started TARGETING and KILLING "honest, liberal, and innocent" Hindus hiding under cover of Hindu Religion to score POLITICAL POINTS, wrongly blaming Muslims.

ATS-Mumbai Chief - Hemant Karkare and his team-mates' assassination is well known. Planting of bombs which pre-maturely exploaded at Margoa, Goa prior to Deepavali 2009 celebration is well known.

I don't need to mention Imposter Sadhus / Sandhvis, Srikant Prasad Purohit, Dayanand Pandey, and all those Sangh Parivaar stalwarts - who miss no time OR opportunity to spill venom, incite mob, AND spread hatred. Is this WHAT Hindu Religion teaches / preaches ???

If "liberal, honest, and wise" Hindus don't come forward and restrain these Hindutva Goons, Hindu religion is bound to be tainted - and CORRECTING it, may TAKE DECADES.

At Times Communal Killings are manufactrured.

The communal violence a few months ago in Hyderabad is the best example of how the fight between Muslims and Hindus is manufactured.

In Hyderabad it was manufactured by the real estate guys to buy lands cheaply by creating fear among the communities and grabbing their lands at cheap prices.

A fact-finding team comprising members of five city-based organisations has concluded this. Besides CLMC, members of Kula Nirmoolana Porata Samiti, Patriotic Democratic Movement, Chaitanya Samaikhya and Viplava Rachayitula Sangam were part of the fact-finding team which visited all the affected areas.

At least 36 mosques and 3 temples were attacked and property including houses, shops, and hotels were burnt or damaged. Two persons died due to stabbing, another died in stone-pelting, while 97 persons were injured. The hand of municipal councillors of BJP, MIM and TDP is being suspected. A key Karnataka BJP minister and Bellary strongman allegedly funded radical Hindu outfits to orchestrate riots in the city.

It is a political fight between a mine owner and K. Rosaiah. The people of Hyderabad were in a way fortunate to have minority as the Chief Police Officer controlling the situation instead of the discriminating Gujarat police officers such as Vanjara who is in prison now.

There are far too many such instances happening in India and throughout the world. the law enforcing authorities unintentionally ( at times deliberately) allow the real culprits easily get away from the clutches of the law but innocent guys are bullied, tortured and imprisoned as it happened in Hyderabad last year( 11 Engineering college Muslim students were arrested on terror charges, tortured, their education devastated and finally they were acquitted, the Govt agreeing you to pay compensation for torturing them and for unlawful arrests custodial prison )

Minorities in India go through this exercise more often than others. Same story with encounter murders. One way to address this issue is to have a greater representation of minorities in the police and security services because unbiased security officers like Karkare are very difficult to be found in India.

Muslim Representation in Indias Security Personnel Less than 3%

The Govt sources say that the security forces would never arrest and keep in custody people who are not the real criminals ( but that is what happens in the case of framed Muslim terrorists) Every time a terrorist attack takes place, the police round up and arrest lots and lots of innocent people in order to show their competence (incompetence).

Usually they arrest Muslims because 98% of the security personnel are from the majority community. The police want to issue fast statements to the media that they caught the conspirators and after a few months or a few years( 12 years in the case of haneef) they release the accused as innocent.

This happened in a recent case in Hyderabad with 11 innocent Engineering college students who were heavily tortured(one died) in the prison and the State Govt apologised and agreed to pay compensation. Can money buy lives?.

Same thing in the case of encounter killings by the police. Since 1993, 2560 cases of police encounters have been brought to the notice of National Human Rights Commission(NHRC). Out of this according to NHRC, 1224 have been found to be cold blooded murders (fake encounters). Will our politicians say that the police will not do encounter killings of the innocent.

So it is a serious matter that far too many innocent people are kept in custodial prison( a disproportionate number from the minority community) for several years without judgment and many are killed for no reason. Out of about 3,60,000 in mates in Indian prisons, 70% of them have been in custody as their cases have not been finalised.

There is a serious problem of delay in our judicial system. Reasons: Prejudice towards Muslims, lack of Muslim representation in the police and judiciary, Lack of magistrates, judges and courts. We waste our money on vote getting gimmicks but there is no money for justice. But we have money for Guantanamo Bays of the Indian type.

As Long as wrong leaders like Modi are in power

Sabarmati was a pretext and post Godhra was a pre-meditated, well planned, well-organised, politically well orchestrated terror laboratory in which the old Lab Tech hand Modi had an active role or was a passive approver. Vajpayee said that.

It is impossible to believe for any one that over 2000 people get killed without the CM’s pain, knowledge and approval. About 10 rounds of ammunition tactically used could have saved hundreds of lives and rapes, the police officers stood by and watched as per instructions.

Cabinet Ministers like Shah became thugs and butchers. No way we can justify this. Deal with crimes and terrorism regardless of religious affiliations, but no one should dream of building a Ram Rashtra by killing 160 Muslims in India. 99.9999% of them have no role to play in any terrorist attacks.

By all means let Hinduism become the State Religion of India, by all means let Sanatana Dharma be part of Indias constitution.

God Almighty knew the guilt and sin of Modi the man responsible for inhuman butchery of innocent minorities who had no part in Sabarmati express killings, even assuming it took place as it did, no one dares to answer why the bodies of people killed in the coach tragedy were carried openly as a procession along many roads long way to instigate people and make them get ready to kill the minorities.

Even assuming that some miscreants did the torching, the massacre was far beyond any sensible proportion and it will take a long time for the world community to digest this killings and slaughter.

A Chief Minister is the Chief Minister for the entire people of Gujarat, but Modi acted as the Chief Minister of Hindus and allowed the Muslims to go to hell.

We know in India Modi will come out clean and spot less in any court proceedings. There will be no proof and no punishment, but he will die with the pain of realising his deliberate stubbornness not to have stopped the butchery

World is small

Hi,

It is all learnt and improvised by the hindu fundamentalist from the islamic fundamentalist practices in the gcc / pakistan country. Unfortunate bad things spread faster. Pls compare the statistics of minority in pakistan during partition and today and that will tell the practices of islamic states.

Eat and have it too!!

@ Satwa,
Once cornered, you run towards GCC/Pakistan. Remain in India and talk about. Was is not you who claim that Hindus are the reason for India being Secular. One thing needs to be conceded here. Even after being just 25% of India, Muslims never wanted it to be secular and look what they did!! Pakistan and Bangladesh have laws to protech minorities though they are miniscle 3%. While you talk of culture and issue reasons to this effect in case of creation of Bangladesh, what is the problem if a Muslim Bangladeshi or Pakistani enters India? While you demand citizenship to the Hindu one. Even in case of fundamentalism, you copy it from Muslims but forget that there is nothing like 'fundamentals' to be followed. Every insane person not having a firm standing becomes a got to you and you think you can befool people by claiming that the so called Muslim saint(insane person who never bothered about any standing and used to do what you wished is liberal etc) is being revered by you. Paganism is the reason. Having no system for millennia, it fell on a tormented Dr BR Ambedkar to give India a consititution and nothing has moved an inch further than what he has done. Comparision should be done in two equal or opposite things and you are talking rubbish by playing the competitive communalism. A saffron arm training is nationalism for you while you expect others to not even serve the flood victims. Instead of wasting energy on generating decibels, try helping the poor of Delhi floods.

Congress does follow soft saffron politics

We do not realise that both BJP and the Congress follow the Hindutva ideology, it should be that way because the majority voters in India are Hindus including the secularists and communists.

The difference is that Congress follows the soft Hindutva Ideology of Narashimha Rao the big conspirator of the demolition of Babri Masjid. Rao thought by throwing the spark at Babri Masjid, BJP will get the bad name and his congress party could come back to power, but his conspiracy back fired and congress lost and BJP won.

BJP won because it followed the hard Hindutva ideology. But we hope in future this political gimmicks and dramas are not going to work with the more educated voters. People want development, education, employment, they do not care about the number of places of worship are built by the Hindus, Muslim and Christians, it is more bread and butter issues. Inter-religious marriages will make religions lose their heavy weight in politics

Look at the List of Saffron Terror

How many of the Hindu right wing and RSS influenced readers will deny that the following terrorist attacks were carried out by the HINDU AL-QAEDA thugs 1. Mumbai Train Bomb Blasts.

2. Malegaon Bomb Blast
3. Ahmedabad Bomb Blast
4. Surat Unexplored Bomb Blast.
5. Delhi Bomb Blast 2008
6. Samjhauta Express Bomb
7. Hyderabad Mecca Masjid Blast
8. Ajmer Sharif Darga Blast
9. Serial Blast in UP courts
10. Jaipur Blasts.
11 Nanded Blast
12. Malegaon Blast of 2008 the other one was 2006. and the giant ones such as
13. Babri Masjid demolition and
14. the century’s worst massacre in Gujarat killing over 2300 innocent people.

We have to wait for 17 years (until the year 2019) to get Narendra Modi to submit his case in the court.

American Presidents can face impeachment procedure, but not Indian Chief Ministers as they are more powerful than monarchs of the Middle-Eastern kingdoms.

Correct Publishing

TCN should publish such news with photographs of RSS workers/Pragya Thakur/VHP workers demolishing Babri Mosque/Durga Vahini Women Trainees to make the article more realistic..these photo graphs shoud be publish again and again as many times so that picture come automatically in ones mind when any one talks about terror

Saffron terrorism

One of our friends has quoted a Kannad Saying “When I said pumpkin thief he is checking his shoulders” he is right it can also be understood as CHOR KI DAHRI ME TINKA. In this contest I would like to add another saying of Urdu JUB DUM PEY PAON RAKH GYA TO TILMILA UTHEY can be translated as, Got irritated when someone stepped on your tail. BJP and Sangh parivar have invented their own HIPPOCRATIC dictionary some of their definition are as follows:
Terrorist: One who talks in favor of Islam/ Muslims
A terrorist having Muslim name: Jihadi, Fundamentalist, Islamic terrorist
A terrorist having Hindu name: Desh Bhakt (Patriot)
Killing 2000 innocent people in Gujrat: A proper act of reaction by some Hindus
Reaction on Babri Masjid demolition: anti national act sponsored by ISI
Saying Muslims are economically backward: Appeasement of Muslims
Having half Muslim Member of parliament in 140 MPs: justice to 20% Muslim Population of country (Half MP means Shahnwaz Hussain who’s another half (Ardhangni ) wife is a Hindu)
Mhatma Gandhi: A biased politician
Nthuram Dodsey: A National hero
And so on --------

HINDU MUSLIM BHAI BHAI
HINDUTVA TERRORISM HAI HAI

HINDU = BROTHER
HINDUTVA = TERROR

Why not call Terorist No 1?

They have problem in Hindu Terror (rightly coz religion should not be associated and only very tiny population is involved in terorism). Safron Terror ( May be coz color propogated by groups involved in terrorism- we should ask these terrorist groups to not to used Safron color and this color is scared to Hindu religion)

why not call them Terrorist No 1? I think no body will have any problem.

Can't call "spade" a "giant spoon"

We can't twist words to suit ones WHIMS and FANCY.

If the words "Hindu" and "Saffron" are objectionable, which I agree - it can be appropriately called "Hindutva" OR "Sangh Parivaar" TERROR as it is carried-out, by a "small section" of Hindu society.

In which case, "liberal" Hindus need to come out in open and "condemn" or "disown" TERRORISM carried out in name of Hindu Religion - rather than remaining SILENT SPECTATORS, which "implies" they APPROVE IT.

Hindu teror must be recognized

I feel india must recognize the hindu terror. It has to read and understand why the educated youth are getting alienated. It must start conversation with them to get them into the main stream.

Terror

I am India's expert in strategic defence and the father of India's strategic program, including the Integrated Guided Missiles Development Program. I have shown in my blog titled 'Nuclear Supremacy For India Over U.S.', which can be found by a Google search with the title, that all terrorism and insurgencies in the Indian subcontinent and in much of the rest of the world is sponsored by the C.I.A. Both Pakistan's ISI and India's RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) function as branches of the C.I.A. and participate in terrorism and insurgencies throughout the Subcontinent, under direction of the C.I.A. Yes, the ISI secretly supports the Taliban but it does so under direction from the C.I.A. whose modus operandi is support for ALL sides of a conflict to control the course of the conflict in service of its own goals. The goal of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and partial occupation of Pakistan is eventual occupation and overt colonial rule over the Subcontinent as a whole. This will not be permitted and all those participating in this enterprise, including the U.K., will be duly punished; see my blog. The document leak currently in the news has been made in preparation for abandonment of this goal and withdrawal from Afghanistan because of steps I have already taken for the nuclear destruction of New Delhi and then the coast-to-coast destruction of the United States by India with 5,000 thermonuclear warheads and extermination of its population; see my blog.

Sangh bullying: Don’t say Hindu terrorism, don’t say saffron....

Wow.... it is started hurting now when Saffron brigade is on the receiving side. They are the one who are shouting the words of "Islamic Terrorism" or "Jihadis" or "Jihadees" etc etc...
They need to realize that other people also gets hurt when their religion or color is on the receiving side.

I agree with Congress spokesman, that "Terrorism" has no color except "Black". But Congress/Govt. also needs to refrain from using the term Islamic Terrorism or Islamic Terrorist or Jihaadist or Jihadees.

Terrorism is the biggest threat not only to India or west but to humanity. No one has the right to take innocent lives in the name of religion, color or creed. The governments needs to make sure before arresting anyone in terrorism charges as if we are wrong, its needs to be compensated. Hundreds of muslim youth have been arrested in the past and later released but their career was spoiled and they can not get a job and their life is messed up now and in fact Govt. is giving the recruiting grounds for the terrorists.

Give in to DEMANDS of a NAGGING BABY, but

Let's GIVE-IN to DEMANDS of a NAGGING BABY, but let's NOT FORGIVE it's MISTAKES / SINS.

We need to rename it Hindutva / Sangh Parivaar TERRORISM - at the same time we need to PUNISH it FOR its willful / wanton MISCHIEF / CRIME(s).

An Observer

Let's label Hindutva / Sangh Parivaar TERRORISM

When a BABY is BORN it's given a name, by which the baby is identified for the rest of his / her life.

Let's call it: Hindutva / Sangh Parivaar TERRORISM.

yeah

In Hindi there is a saying "Ulta chor kotwaal ko daante". When miyans call others bullies or terrorists that is exactly what is going on.

Shri Raama Jayam!

Hindu Terrorism

Actualy Saffron / Hindu Terrorism started in pre partition India with the killing of lakhs of Muslims. The single biggest act of these saffron terrorists is the killing of Gandhi.

Shri Raama Jayam - Rakh loo apnaa bharam !

Ramesh commenting under title: yeah

The Hindi language, in-fact it's an Urdu language saying appropriately suits those who are suspected of carrying out "saffron terror". You have rightly used the saying, but implying in wrong OR diverting context - usual Hindutva Ishtyle.

Ramesh Ji - Shri Raama Jayam; Rakh loo apnaa bharam.

Refrain from commenting lies, without support. This time the TERROR SUSPECTS are Hindutva Bhaiyaa, and Behen-Ji - who were all the time TRYING to CONFUSE, by pointing WRONG ACCUSING fingers at innocents. Accept it.

An Observer

Colour blind !!!

"Ramesh" on 27 August 2010 - 11:01pm under title: yeah

It appears this commentator is COLOUR BLIND. He needs to get his eyes examined by an OPTHALMIC DOCTOR, if he is unable to see the colour of IMPOSTER Sandhvi Pragya Singh's robe, while being escorted by police. If you did not read OR watch what's colour of the IMPOSTER Sandhvi's robe, watch this:

http://twocircles.net/2010aug24/saffron_groups_behind_many_terror_blasts...

If "miyans" have done Islamic Terror, then this "biwi" is involved in Saffron Terror. I wish to refrain calling it Hindu Terror, as majority of Hindus are "wise" and are against whatever is going on in India, since Hindutwadis (Sangh Parivaar) have hijacked Hindu Religion and ABUSING it.

Truth will come out in kashmir also

Hi,

What a hypocracy is this site. If the kashmir youth express it is alientation and if the hindu youth expresses, it is communalism. Precisely this is the reason that the hindu radical party is on raise.

There is a saying

There is a saying in Kannada, "Kumbulkai Kalla andre Hegel Mutt Nodko ta avne" meaning When I said Pumpkin theif He is checking his shoulder.
Truth will come out soon. Be it in the form of Kasturi TV (Kannada Channel) telecasting that involvement of Lal Krishna Advani the then Union Home Minister in the attack on parliament where all the terrorists were killed on the spot or the Mecca Masjid Blasts or the Ajmer Darga Blast or the Goa Blast all these have proved that the terrorists are coming from the RSS, BJP, Abhinav Bharat & their allied organizations.
The fact to be noted is that we have had no terrorist attack in India for over 20 months proving that the te RR ori S ts are either behind bars or on the run.
If you claim to be a true patriot prove your patriotism, not by vandalising the property of Inida by taking Law in your hands but by going to court and proving you are innocent. Why do you have to behave in a manner not befitting the representative of the people.

lol...what a joker!

lol...what a joker! Conspiracy theories are stupid. And people that believe and spread such tales of nonsense are just dumb nuts.
