Hindu Society Needs Total Hindu Solidarity and Kshatriya Spirit

Tapan Ghosh's Speech at New York on the Occasion of Hindu Sangathan Divas

August 8th, 2010

============================

Ladies and gentlemen,

Let me first offer my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the organizers of this Hindu convention for offering me the opportunity of visiting this great country and to interact with a people who had always expressed their highest regard for Hindu Dharma.

As it is known and acknowledged, the Hindu civilization of India has made an immense contribution towards the advancement of humanity and human civilization across the world. From ancient times Hindus have made the most significant contributions in the fields of astronomy, astrology, mathematics, chemistry, medicine, art, music and last but most important, in the field of spirituality and divine cognition. The nectar of Hindu spiritual doctrines and practices was practically rediscoverd by the west in the 20th century and many a harried westerner, worn down by the hectic pace of a technology and money driven life has found solace in the transcendental path of yogic practices and the ancient Vedic spirituality.

But it pains me to mention that this effulgent fount of goodness and wisdom is now itself in jeopardy as the position and situation of the Hindus in India itself is becoming tenuous. It is not the Hindus but Hindu Dharma is under siege in India as anything remotely Hindu is labeled as reactionary, regressive and potentially dangerous by the government and the communist dominated media. As history is our witness, plurality of the Indian society is not a sudden development of the 20th century. The Hindus had always been a tolerant people who graciously offered shelter and freedom of conscience to many a persecuted race and faiths throughout history.

It is in the name of this same tolerance that the Hindus are being persecuted in their own land. The ruling classes appease a defiant and aggressive minority just to cling to power and the all powerful mandarins of the Indian media play the role of the three wise monkeys in subservience to a self inflicted slavery to a discredited ideology. In the India of today it is as if the Hindu can do no right. The government turns a deaf ear to his pleas for justice and the media just sweeps under the carpet all the atrocities committed against the Hindu, even rape and murder.

Today the world is waking up to the danger of a phenomenon that the Hindus of India has been suffering through for the past 1200 years. The phenomenon now known as Pan Islamic terrorism. A worldwide community of believers whose cohesiveness of consensus expedited by the blinding speed and extensive reach of modern information technology has, like a thundercloud, burst upon a world avidly tending its own material prosperity and intent upon practicing the more tender aspects of Human existence.

Wherever the Hindu resists, he has to resist alone. Atrocities are being committed against Hindus everywhere in India. Everywhere the Hindu hearth home and honour is under assault. But be it Assam, West Bengal, Kashmir or Kerala, the Hindu fights alone. The plight of the Hindu in Kerala doesn’t move much the Hindu in Assam. The distress of the Kashmiri Hindu doesn’t disturb the complacent slumber of the Tamil Hindu. While even at the slightest of provocation the shrill hue and cry of the Ummah across the globe practically rents the sky. The government scurry for cover and the media literally froths at the mouth.

At this juncture a sense of cohesiveness, a feeling that the community is an extension of one’s own self and an understanding that an attack upon any part of the community is an attack upon the whole Hindu world, has become not a necessity, but an imperative for Hindu society. The Hindu society now needs Hindu Solidarity.. We cannot survive without a cohesive body of opinion, if not of assistance, behind us. Throughout history the Hindu has fought against impossible odds, and that is the reason why we are the world’s oldest and still the third largest religion But if we do not wake up now, that may well become history.

This current tension in Indian society between its own Hindu cultural roots and values and loyalty and blind obeisance towards extra territorial ideals and ideologies, a legacy of colonial rule, has created a centrifugal force of such proportions that it has made us lose the moorings in three major guiding streams of modern society – polity, media and academia. India is trying to forge ahead without knowing where it is going and what it will become in the process of such endeavour. Today we have a government that does not want to admit that it governs a predominantly Hindu country, a media that wants the country to shed every vestige of its Hindu culture and literally to be ashamed of it and an academia that is bent on instructing rather than educating. Teaching of our cultural ethos and glorious Darshanas have largely been eschewed by the academia.

The mainstream academia is slowly pushing our ancient Sanskrit language over the edge and the teaching of Ramayan and Mahabharat, the two epics which are taken to be the fountainhead of our culture and traditions, have been stopped in schools long back. It must be remembered that when in the 19th century, thousands of Hindu indentured labourers came to the West Indies – in sailing ships- to work in the sugarcane plantations, it was only the Ramayan, especially the Ramcharitmanas of Goswami Tulsidas, which preserved the precious link between them and their distant Punyabhoomi. It was the study of Ramcharitmanas that moored these uprooted people to their Hindu faith. Today the sons and daughters of these indentured labourers rule nations, in theWest Indies. And it is by trying to sever this mooring to one’s own culture and faith that present India finds herself adrift in a sea of chaos.

It is not only that we are besieged from without but from within too. As we all know the general hindu has no dearth of faith. In his or her mind there is always a great devotion for the dharma. Unfortunately it is the popular interpretation of the dharma which has abandoned the devotee. The current practice of dharma has completely ignored the solidarity aspect of the faith and has emphasized solely on the individual. Likewise it has abandoned the social and concentrated on the ritual.

The present Hindu is immersed in bhajan kirtan and performing a hundred and one rituals but he is blissfully oblivious to the happenings of the Hindu society or to the plight of other sections of the Hindu society other than himself. One goes to the temple in an individual capacity, performs ones private puja, thinks about ones personal success or salvation and leaves. One rarely goes there to experience the elation of being a part of a community.

The priests and the myriad gurus of the Hindu faith have also surrendered their traditional roles for providing both spiritual and temporal guidance to the community. Millions visit the Hindu temples and millions more visit the ashrams of various Gurus. Great devotional congregations or satsangs are held nearly every day. But the priests only busy themselves in reciting the mantras and carrying out the rituals in the minutest detail and the Gurus are only interested in discussing spirituality.

The current state of events, the current tribulations and aggressions confronting the Hindu society or even a specific problem regarding a specific time or place is never discussed. What this aristocracy of faith forgets is that the temple or the ashram is the only place where people gather as Hindus – sublimating their all other identities as father, mother, husband, wife, professional, taxpayer, landholder, landless - everything. And the foremost requirement of spirituality is that the spirit needs a body to reside in. Otherwise it becomes it extremely difficult for the etheric constituent of the spirit to be anchored to this corporeal world. If the body disintegrates, the spirit along with spirituality evaporates. It was Shri Ramchandra who gave the first lesson of patriotism to the Hindu nation as he uttered the shloka “janani janmabhumishcha swargadapi gariyasi” – one’s mother and one’s motherland are more glorious than heaven itself.

It was the five Pandava brothers and Shri Krishna who staked their lives and honour in the battlefield of Kurukshetra and oversaw the destruction of their entire clans for upholding Dharma. When the gurus discuss Bhagwad Geeta, they concentrate upon the mores of salvation. The never discuss the scene where Arjun, utterly dejected at the thought of destroying his own kin who are arrayed against him, faces Krishna and the Lord says “hatova prapsasi swargam jeetwava bhokshashey mahim, tasmaduttishtha kaunteya yuddhaya kritanishchaya” – if you die in battle you shall achieve heaven, if you win you shall enjoy the earth, therefore O son of Kunti, stand up and fight resolutely.

Our current day Gurus rattle incessantly to love and devote oneself to the faith. But never once do they mention that if you love your dharma you must do whatever is necessary to protect that object of veneration. And that is exactly what our Rishis and Mahapurushes taught us.

Mark my words, if Hindu Dharma sees its demise from the Punya bhoomi of Bharat, the day wont be far when its vestiges from the rest of the world would be sniffed out for eternity.

A society or a community that cannot defend itself against any form of aggression does not survive. It is a law of nature. As aggression is natural in any natural organism so is the instinct to preserve oneself from extinction. Every community needs a sword arm, to protect itself against aggression overt or covert. This is what makes the role of a kshatriya or warrior important in a community and in periods of turmoil and conflict, paramount. Hindu society is under attack from every direction and in every manner. The need of the hour is to reignite our kshatriya spirit and stand resolutely. An eminent scholar Dr. David Frawley points out correctly that Hindu society needs intellectual kshatriyas to do battle with the nefarious and malignant assault of the communist dominated media and academia against the Hindu faith. With that we also affirm the need of a vocational kshatriya, who would not simply seethe with indignation or write books or pamphlets but resolutely take the necessary steps to resist aggression on the ground. And in todays world it is the so called lower classes who are fulfilling the role of this vocational kshatriya. This huge but silent section of the society has been utterly neglected by the upper echelons of Hindu society for ages. Nevertheless it is their faith and fortitude and readiness to action that has borne the brunt of aggression and kept Hindu society intact.

Through the nightmare periods of Islamic invasions the whole of Hindu society suffered regardless of rank or status. But the so called upper classes had at least their social prestiege to solace themselves the lower classes had none. Yet they suffered silently when inevitable and fought valiantly whenever opportunity presented itself. Even under the most soul crushing oppression never did they give up their faith.

This trend continues even today throughout India. In the rural and semi urban regions of West Bengal and Assam, where I have a first hand experience of the situation, when things becomes unbearable the upper classes sell or abandon their properties and leave. It is the so called lower classes who bites the bullet and stand firm in resistance. It is their strength, courage and fortitude that has kept the Hindu existence from being wiped out from these regions in the face of Jihadi aggression fuelled by petro dollars, Islamic mafia money and the willing or purchased connivance of the communist intelligentsia.

Ladies and gentlemen, the imperative need of the hour, the vocational kshatriya, shall come from these so called urban and rural lower classes, as they always have. They are the new sword arm of Hindu Dharma, Shri Ram’s bow and Shri Krishna’s Chakra .. It is the strength of their arms and the stoutness of their hearts that we depend upon for the protection of Dharma. In the midst of all our material success and social advancement let us not deny anyone of us the honour, respect and assistance we deserve. Let us Unite. From now and for Millenias to come.

We owe it to our past and to our future.

Hindu Samhati has embarked on this path and we hope that you stand with us in every step of the way.

Shyama Prasad Mookerjee - A Martyr of 23rd June

Shyama Prasad Mookerjee - A Martyr of 23rd June

Can thou recall this tearful and painful day, Oh, Youths of Bengal! None can reply. But during my stay at North Indian regions of Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Punjab provices, the melody echoed and re-echoed in air “Jahan Huye Balidan Mookerjee, Oh Kashmir Hamara Hai. Jees Kashmir Ko Khoon Se Seencha, Oh Kashmir Hamara Hai.(Mookerjee was martyred on Kashmir soil. The land bleeds on his blood. Kashmir is ours, Kashmir is ours). The slogans ignite Hindu youths’ hair roots in all other parts of the country, but why not thy voices at Bengal, Oh! Bengali youths? Once, your land was the breeding ground for great movements, but today there is no slogan on Shyama Prasad.

Jawaharlal Nehru, in connivance with Soviet and British rulers silenced the voice of Netaji Subhas and had slowly placed him in the archives. History repeats in Bengal. Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee, the savior of West Bengal became the victim of the venomous conspiracy for ravenous greed of power of Abdullah, the Sheikh and Jawaharlal Nehru on 23 June 1953. Alas! There was none to save our Motherland.

Bengal has many iconic personalities and heroes namely, Swami Bibekananda, Rabindra nath and Netaji Subhas whose works are acclaimed at the national and global perspective. Shyama Prasad continued to enrich this trend snatching this part of Bengal from the claws of British and Jinnah. His martyr for unity and integrity of the Nation is an unending brightness of a stalwart. For these reasons, countrymen and his followers observe this 23 June as Martyr day. Congress of Nehru family, Muslim appeaser TMC or traitor Communists may forget him but the Hindu youths of Bengal should remember this lion man son of the Royal Tiger of Bengal, Sir Asutosh Mookerjee.

Shyama Prasad was taller than his stature that he never compromised his ideology and patriotism for the personal gains what many other leaders of Bengal across political party line, leftists or rightists did neither he became a stooge of Nehru family. Shyama Prasad had donated his ancestral residence named Ashutosh College bequeathed upon his father but to the contrary, the ancestral residence of late Jyoti Basu has been retained by his family members and a “Lift” is also installed there at the behest and expenses of State Government. Basu led a lavish lifestyle at Indira Bhavan for long. Ironically, Pranab Mookerjee and Jyoti Basu look like a flying fox before this Lion man.

Shyama Prasad had undaunted personality. The youths of Bengal should always keep in mind with utmost respect that in the year, 1947 when our beloved motherland was divided by the British rulers in collusion with Nehru led Congress, Leftist traitors and protagonist M.A. Jinnah, Shyama Prasad alone stood against this tripod. Truly, the Lion filched one third of undivided Bengal from the mouth of Jackle Jinnah, the originator of Pakistan. Shyama Prasad thundered, “Jinnah, you have divided India, now I divide Bengal.” Had there not Shyama Prasad at those crucial hours, the undivided Bengal would have witnessed the shrill “Naaraaye Takdeer Allah-Ho Akbar” and all of us turned “Maalaayun” (a slang). Bengalis of this part of land were saved from evacuation and thus could accommodate here uprooted, hapless millions from the other part of Bengal.

Are we ungrateful, are we impure in blood and sense? If the pictures of Gandhi, Nehru and Marx – Lenin - Stalin can find place at the political walls of West Bengal, what they have done good for Bengal, why Shyama Prasad is absent? Who can answer this! Marx-Lenin- Stalinists tyranny are the root causes of social, industrial, political downfall of West Bengal.

Let’s have a look, what Shyama Prasad did for Bengal.. He saved all Hindus against “Great Calcutta killings’ by Muslims and formed Hindustan National Guards in every district, worked tirelessly during great famine of Bengal in 1943.

He, being a cabinet member at the first central ministry led by Jaharlal Nehru after independence, he was instrumental to build Durgapur Steel plant(DSP) and Rail Locomotive factory at Chittaranjan, West Bengal. Further, he gave up the post of Minister for step motherly behavior of Nehru against Hindu Bengali refugees. A secular humanist, progressive, in thoughts, cultured and generous Shyama Prasad extended his hands of supports to poet Kazi Nazrul Islam during latter’s ailment. As an educationist, this youngest Vice Chancellor had placed Calcutta University in the world class level of teaching and fundamental research.

He had sacrificed his life for the integrity of our Nation. Now, time has come to awake Bengal and Bengalis to follow his life, path of wisdom. If we pay no heed to him, Bengal may be divided again and Bengalis would become refugees to an unknown land.

Shyama Prasad lived for 53 years. In this very short span of life he possessed versatile qualities. He was an Educationist at one end, a Politician and Statesman in thoughts. He was an icon of luminous humanity, an icon of national unity, an icon of justice, an icon of struggle, an icon of selflessness and self-sacrifice.

Today, on his Martyr day, we, the members of “Hindu Samhati” bow down our heads and offer our perpetual respect to Bharat Kesari Shyama Prasad Mookerjee. We ask for his kind blessing to give us strength to combat our Nation’s enemies.

Shame of India---DINHATA

by Tapan Kumar Ghosh

Dinhata is a small town in the district of Coochbehar, West Bengal and from the incident that took place in this town on December 6, 2009, regarding the visit of Peyarada (the nickname of Hussein Muhammad Ersad, the ex-military dictator and the President of Bangladesh; literally means ‘beloved elder brother’), it seemed that the Hindus of this place, or rather of the entire state of West Bengal, have lost their rationality and common sense. It seemed that there was not a single soul who could see the truth. Dinhata is the native place of Peyarada, who went to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) after partition in 1947, and on Dec 6, last year, he returned to Dinhata after 34 years. He is now 79 and will be 80 on Feb 1, 2010. It appeared that the Hindus of Dinhata were far more eager to greet their Peyarada than Peyarada was to meet the people of his place of birth.

A report appeared in the December 7, 2009 edition of Dainik Statesman, a Kolkata based Bengali daily, said, “Escorted by tight security, the son of the town entered his native place amidst greetings by thousand hilarious Hindus. As soon as he got out of the car, he was encircled by the reporters. Before the crowd of onlookers, their dear Peyarada moved towards his ancestral home, while the crowd continued showering their good wishes and shouting slogans. A stage was set up at the entrance of the house where Ershad received the greetings from the crowd and replied his good wishes to them.” The reporter Subhas Mandal of the Dainik Statesman continued his idiotic narration – “In the heavily crowded press conference, dear Peyarada, the glorious son of Dinhata, the ex-President of Bangladesh, said that he would continue his efforts to build up a close and friendly relation between India and Bangladesh.

It has been mentioned above that this dear Peyarada, the son of Dinhata, is no other than Hussain Muhammad Ershad, the ex-army chief, the military dictator and the President of Bangladesh. His ancestral house is still standing there in Dinhata, though he was born on February 1, 1930 in his maternal uncle’s house in Rangpur, in the undivided Bengal. He spent his childhood in Dinhata and passed the Matriculation Examination from a Dinhata school. Later on, in the wake of partition and creation of Pakistan in 1947, his family decided to move to the holy land of Pakistan, a Dar-ul-Islam as muhajir leaving India, a dar-ul-harb. The Hindus of Diahata do not have sufficient grey matter in their brains to understand the Muslim psyche of H M Ershad and his family that considers the call of Islam far more precious than the call of the motherland. It should be mentioned here that the ex-military general and ex-president of Pakistan Musherof Hussain is also a muhajir in Pakistan.

It is now well known that the war at Kargil was one of the most treacherous back-stabbing inflicted by Musharraf against India. Similarly the educated and conscious people of the world are also acquainted with the treachery misdeeds committed by H M Ershad against India, particularly against the Hindus. But it seems that there is not a single Hindu in Dinhata who is aware of those treacherous activities of Ershad. One should recall that the Indian soldiers, by their blood, earned freedom for the people of Bangladesh from the clutch of Pakistan in 1970. But it was the dear Peyarada or H M Ershad of Dinhata, who after assuming the office of president of Bangladesh in 1988, made Islam the state religion of the country and thus by the stroke of the pen, converted the entire Hindu population of Bangladesh into second grade citizens, deprived them of minimum civic rights and turned them into targets of religious persecution and victims of the fanatic majority Muslims. In other words, the entire Hindu community of Bangladesh has been degraded to the status of Dhimmis. So, it is extremely ridiculous when that culprit says that he is trying to improve relation between India and Bangladesh. If this culprit is projected as a pride of Dinhata, then Dinhata is a shame for India.

In this context, another aspect of vital importance should be pointed out here. In 1947, Ershad alone went to East Pakistan, while his brothers and others relatives stayed back in India and his properties were protected by the Indian Constitution. On the contrary, the millions of Hindus who were fallen victims of severe religious persecution and ethnic cleansing and were compelled to leave East Pakistan (and today’s Bangladesh) to save their lives, their properties were declared ‘enemy properties’ by the government of Pakistan and grabbed by the Muslims of East Pakistan or Bangladesh. Even the other members of a Hindu household, one of whom had shifted to India, were designated as enemies of the government and properties confiscated. In most of the cases, they had to sell their properties in throw away price and come to India to save their lives and the honour of their women. So, the Hindus, who were compelled to leave East Pakistan or Bangladesh, were treated as enemies but H M Ershad, who left India for the sake of Islam, is being treated as the ‘son of the soil of Dinhata’, ‘dear Peyarada’ and the ‘pride of Dinhata’.

It really amazing that most of the Hindus of Dinhata, who are gleefully celebrating the visit of Ershad to Dinhata, had come to India as refugees after being kicked out of East Pakistan or Bangladesh. Following Shibaprasad Roy, these people are severely running short of common sense and it seems that even God Almighty shall not be able to prevent them from turning refugee again. It is a shame that the Hindu refugees of Dinhata, who came to India after losing their properties to the Muslims, are now performing the sacred task of protecting the properties of Muslims like H M Ershad.

According to a press report, Udayan Guha, the son of Kamal Guha, a leader of the Forward Bloc, the political party founded by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, sought the blessings of Ershad by touching his feet (a Hindu style to paying respect), on the occasion. In fact, this Kamal Guha & Co are extremely dishonest politicians and they are utilizing the name of patriotic personality of Netaji to gain political mileage in one hand and, on the other, collaborating with the traitor and treacherous Communists, who once described Netaji as quisling of Japan and a dog of Tojo, to taste the honey of power. These hypocrites display the photograph of Netaji to pay their sham respect to him and at the same time have handed over the Forward Bloc Party to the enemies of the nation like Kalimuddin Shams and others. In this context, one should recall that these treacherous Muslim political leaders like Kalimuddin Shams helped millions of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators getting ration cards so that their names could be enlisted in the voters’ list. In other words, turning the illegal Bangladeshi infiltrations into legal citizens of India.

One should also recall that Robin Ghosh, another leader of the Forward Bloc and the MLA from the Uluberia constituency, in another occasion, stopped the Mumbai Express with a mob of 5000 Muslims and released 100 Bangladeshi infiltrators who were being brought to Kolkata by the Maharastra police and set them free. It seems that there is no law in the country to impede these outrageous activities of Kamal Guha, Robin Ghosh and co and courts and legal system of this country exists only to harass the members of the patriotic Hindu organizations. The reader should also recall that, in another occasion, this Kamal Guha and his goons snatched away the microphone of Manomohan Roy, a social worker of RSS, who was holding a meeting at Dinhata to arouse public awareness about the danger of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators at Dinhata. From the above narrations it becomes evident that the political party called the Forward Bloc is at present has been turned into an organization to blacken the name of Netaji and is causing much more harm to the Hindus than the infamous Indian Union of Muslim League. So it is not difficult to understand why Udayan Guha, the son of Kamal Guha would play fuss with H M Ershad at Dinhata.

But what is more astonishing is the behaviour of the common Hindus of Dinhata. Neither they raised any slogan like ‘Down with H M Ershad’ and nor they tried to throw a shoe to him. No one, during the over crowded press conference, asked him – “What motivated you to declare Islam as the state religion of Bangladesh and thus turning a seemingly secular country into a country of mediaeval Islamic fanaticism?” Nobody asked him – “You came to power as a military dictator and consequently declared yourself the President of Bangladesh. So you assumed the office of the President of Bangladesh through an undemocratic process, and hence you had no moral or ethical right to alter the constitution of Bangladesh. Then how could you take such a step that reduced the status of Bangladeshi Hindus to dhimmis? And how many years it would take for Bangladesh to redress your misdeed? Or could ever be possible to reverse that pernicious act?”

We may now turn to another aspect of the report that appeared in press. It has been reported that Ershad came to Dinhata with his 9-year-old son Eric. It has been pointed out above that Ershad is running 79 years 9 months and hence his son Eric was born when he was more that 70 years old. So it becomes evident that he has served Islam faithfully, in swelling the Muslim population up to the age of 70. This reflects his personal contribution to step up the Muslim population, the effort that has raised the same to 34.54 per cent in Dinhata block (both 1 and 2), 24.24 per cent in the Coochbihar district and 75.00 per cent in the adjacent district of Dhubri in Assam. One should also note that the above estimates are according to the Census Report of 2001 and today these figures have become still higher. The Hindus of Dinhata should ask this pertinent question to themselves – “How long they will be able to live at Dinhata?”

It is a pity for the inhabitants of the West Bengal. They are offering flower bouquet, sweets and respect (by touching his feet) to a fanatic Muslim leader, a military dictator who has reduced the Hindus of a neighbouring country to second grade citizens. And at the same time, they are showering hatred and pushing out a writer of the same country who is fighting for the human rights for the Hindus of that country. The name of that great lady is Taslima Nasrin. So, there is no other way but to appreciate this secularism and one should say, “Glory, to the progressiveness of the Hindus of West Bengal and glory to their secularism”. So far, this secularism has been the other name of hypocrisy, but from the behavioral pattern of the Hindus of Dinhata, one should conclude that the said secularism has turned into a disease. So, one should write sick-ularism in stead of secularism. This has become a dreaded disease like AIDS and every sane person must keep a distance from these sick-ularists to avoid a contamination. Anyone contaminated with this disease is destined to die. So, people should be protected against this dreaded ailment. This is a kind of rabies that takes away one’s conscience and moral sense, and deludes one of his memories causing severe amnesia. It makes one to forget even serious events like raping of his mother, his wife and his sisters. So, to save the Hindu society, there is no other way but to identify and isolate these sick-ulars infected with this dreaded disease.

We may now delve into the matter a bit to seek a correct reply to the question – “Why the Hindus of Dinhata did behave so foolishly in greeting their dear Peyarada, a staunch enemy of the Hindus?” The reader may recall that the recent Assembly Election in the state of Jharkhand, the result was indecisive. No single party got simple majority required to form a government. At this moment of crisis, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supported the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the political party led by Sibu Soren, and formed a coalition government. This Sibu Soren, once regarded as the teacher and guide of the tribal people, was later on convicted in several cases of political murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, but ultimately acquitted by the Supreme Court. In 1992, he was also convicted of taking bribe from the then Congress Prime Minister Narasimha Rao for extending his support and thus saving Rao’s government from an imminent collapse.

These facts and figures were more than enough to identify Sibu Soren as one of the most dishonest and criminal politicians of the country. At that time, BJP was too vocal against him and aroused nationwide condemnation. But now, the same BJP came forward to support him and form a coalition government with him, as mentioned above. The incident had inspired the political observers of India to paint BJP as an immoral, power-hungry and opportunist party. Though the allegations were correct, we should not raise my fingers towards BJP. Had BJP refrained from supporting JMM, would there been an honest government come up in Jharkhand? Perhaps not. Another immoral party would have come forward to help Sibu Soren. When all the political parties are dishonest and immoral, there is little chance for setting up an honest and moral government in any state, including Jharkhand.

We may look into the matter from a different viewpoint. Definitely, Sibu Soren was corrupt and dishonest and hence one might have declined to support him on that ground. But what is about the 18 MLAs, who had won election as candidates of JMM? Were all of them corrupt and deserve to be isolated? Even if one said that, as they had been guided and led by Sibu Soren, they were also immoral and dishonest, then what he would have said about the large number of voters who had voted them to win the election? Would it have been proper to paint these voters as immoral and corrupt and disown them? To keep the image of a party clean, BJP might have avoided to form the government with JMM. But what should have been its attitude towards this large number of voters?

Here lies the role of a truly nationalist and patriotic political party. The role of a political party is to educate the common people about politics based on principles of ethics, morality and patriotism, or to make the masses conscious about true and value based politics for achieving real good for the country and its people. During the British Raj, great patriotic leaders like Lokamanya Tilak, Madanmohan Malavya, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bepin Chandra Pal, S N Banerji, Sri Aurovindo, C R Das and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose tried their best to promote politics based on moral, ethical and patriotic principles. At that time, though the people were less educated, these honest leaders could implant the basic ideas of moral and ethical politics into the people with their influence.

But after independence, India began its journey on the road of Nehruvian politics based on top to toe hypocrisy, unbridled greed for power, cunningness, Himalayan lack of patriotism, false internationalism and lack of nationalism, revengefulness to the political opponents, fulfillment of personal ambition at the cost of national interest and so on and so forth. It is needless to say that the conspiracy involving M K Gandhi and the British Governor General Mountbatten was responsible for putting such a hypocrite and immoral person like Jawaharlal Nehru at the helm of this country which ultimately led to the ruin of the value based politics in the country. It is also true that to save the nation from the grip of this degraded and unpatriotic politics, Dr Shyama Prasad Mookherji and Dr B R Ambedkar resigned from the Nehru Cabinet and the former had to sacrifice his life in mysterious situation in Kashimir. (Many believe that the Prime Minister Nehru, to get rid of his most prominent political opponent, plotted a conspiracy with Shaikh Abdullah and assassinated Dr Mookherji).

Later on, guided by the same motive, farsighted Guruji Golwalkar, along with Shyama Prasad, Pundit Deendayal Upadhyay and Prof Balraj Madhok, formed the new political party called Bharatiya Janasangh. Steered by the farsight of Guruji, enriched with the goodwill of RSS and under the able leadership of Shyama Prasad, this new party looked for not only to contest election and acquire political power for the well-being of the nation, but also to inculcate sense of true politics free from evils among the masses and inspire in them deep love for the motherland and patriotism, and turning them into good citizens fit to carry out sacred national duties. So long, Pundit Deendayal Upadhyay was alive, the party was following the desired path. But after his assassination in 1968, the party got grossly derailed from original ideology and completely lost under the new name Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It abandoned the difficult task of educating the common people the politics of patriotism and took up the path of petty conspiratorial politics of compromise and gaining political power. So, at present one finds little difference between the Indian National Congress of Gandhi and Nehru and BJP. Most shamefully, its leaders have relinquished the path high ideals and doing politics only for personal benefit and making money.

As a result of these developments, there is not a single organization in today’s India that can teach the people of this country the things like patriotism, national duty, in addition to what is good and what is bad for the country and who is a friend and who is foe of the nation. Once upon a time, the people of this country regarded the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as an organization of this kind. But today, it has been so much engrossed in ongoing politics, being controlled by BJP, that it has completely lost its past glory. People today cannot trust RSS as an organization that is above the petty politics of grabbing political power.

Now, we may try to make the two ends meet. We have began with the most idiotic, ignorant and stupid behaviour, the people (or the Hindus) of Dinhata had displayed on the occasion of the visit of H M Ershad at that town. From the discussion given above, it is not difficult for the reader to understand that severe lack of political consciousness, lack to grasp the role of politics of National interest had played its role behind the aforementioned stupid behaviour of the people of Dinhata. Most importantly, who will take the responsibility of educating the masses in these aspects?

For an individual, who is little bit conscious about the goings on the country, it is not difficult to notice that media, including newspapers or television channels, has emerged as the patron of today’s system of education, may it be bad or disgraceful. People becomes conscious and forms their opinion only about those issues that are focused by the media. While the issues, though of extreme national importance, ignored by the media, people remains in the dark bout those issues. And hence they are not redressed. One should understand that the media is there not to discuss ethics but to do business, make money and thus survive stiff competition. One should also notice that, it is the skill of the media that leads the culprits of the Jessica Lal murder case to escape conviction. It is the similar skill that drags the Ruchika rape case through decades. It is also the underhand game of media leading to suspension of the Commissioner of Police of Kolkata Police in the Rezwanur suicide case and it is the insidious role of the media that motivates the government to release the dreaded terrorist Masud Azahar from Kashmir jail.

Furthermore, it is the Indian media that had once projected a sparingly educated airplane operator into a great leader to make him the Prime Minister and later on turned his widow, an Italian waitress, into a top national leader. At present, the same media is busy in turning the uneducated son of that Italian lady into a national leader of exception. On the contrary, this media is consciously suppressing the affairs of the courageous Bangladeshi lady who has launched a total war, at the risk of her life, against the most inhuman and barbaric creed called Islam. This mischievous act of the media is keeping the people of this country unaware about the heroic contributions of that Bangladeshi lady Taslima Nasrin and thus keeping them incapable to shower their sympathy and good wishes to her.

Who are running this media business? Not the highly qualified editors, or the Board of Editor, or the highly educated journalists. Like any other business, it is being run by the owners, proprietors or the Board or Directors. These are the people, who decide which piece of information is to be highlighted and which is to be suppressed, and thus guide the opinion formation of common masses. How many are they? At most 200 or so! So, public opinion, public sentiment, or in other words, the consciousness of the hoi polloi could be guided in a desired direction, if these 200 media owners could be purchased. Hence, it becomes evident that money, both domestic and foreign, is playing the ultimate role in guiding 1.12 billion people of this country, guiding their political consciousness and views.

So, there is none to educate and guide the people of this country in the right direction. As a result, corrupt political leaders like N D Tewari, Sibu Soren, Lalu Jadav, Rajib Pratap Rudy, Babubhai Kataria etc. are contesting and winning elections, and consequently forming governments. This environment of corrupt politics, lack of correct political education and lack of able leadership are influencing the people of this country, including the people of Dinhata, to behave in the most stupid and ignorant way. The existing legal system may convict and punish some offender politicians, but it cannot take up the job of educating the people. In fact, there is no short cut path to educate the masses. However, someone has to come forward and take up this responsibility.

Result of 2009 Indian Parliamentary Elections ---An analysis

Tapan Kumar Ghosh

The election result of 2009 parliamentary election is quiet unexpected. Congress could not contemplate even in their wildest figment of imagination that they would cross 200. Their final tally is 206. BJP also got a rude jolt as they could garner only 116, a sharp drop from 138. Congress got a fresh lease of life. Advani's dream of becoming Prime Minister got shattered and possibly for good. BJP not only lost in terms of seats but it's votes also nosedived by more than 4%.

Let us critically review the results.

In our state of West Bengal as well as Kerala, Left Front stands humiliated with a total drubbing. They were routed out and.The leftists are trying to put the entire blame on Prakash Karat. It is a clever ploy to cover up the total communist msirule, despotism and corruption. A wrong strategy of Karat has disintegrated the third front in an irreversible manner but the primary reason for the communist debacle is rooted in their anti democratic and anti people policies.

A great blessing of this election outcome is that Bihar populace has banished Lalu and Rambilas Paswan and these bluff masters have got nothing except casteism, parochialism and regionalism in their kitty.

In northern India, in the Hindi heartland, Congress' revival can't be simply overlooked. In UP, Congress has bagged double the seats of BJP. In Bihar, Congress has bagged only three but it's vote share has gone up by more than 10%. In Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand; Congress has won hands down. It has fared reasonably well in Punjab and J & K. BJP's prestige has been saved by MP, HP and Gujarat. Bihar, Karnataka and Chattishgarh has given BJP a big boost.

Some questions crop up automatically.

Despite a huge success in Amarnath movement, what made BJP not even get a single seat in Jammu? Previously BJP was not a blank over there. This movement was initiated by Sangha Pariver. Is it false? In Tamilnadu a massive movement underwent over "Ramsetu" issue and it was crowned with success. Where is the result out of it? The biggest question is on Orissa. Here, BJP has drawn a flack, a sharp drop from seven to zero. In Chattishgarh, Dilip Singh Judeo of BJP is a prominent figure against Christian conversion. He has won with a massive margin and also made BJP win in that belt. But why BJP failed to win a single seat from the tribal belt of Orissa and even from Kandhamal where Swami Laxmanananda was assassinated? After the gruesome murder of Swamiji there was a mass upsurge amongst the tribals. Where did it evaporate? The answer lies on the event of 25th. December last year. VHP called a statewide Bandh that day in protest against the murder of Swamiji. However, VHP was compelled to withdraw the Bandh call under pressure from Sangha parivar and Advani just for the sake of saving the coalition government. It was once again proved that political interest was foremost in their mind. Ideology is only on their lip. The tribal society did not take this utter hypocrisy and chicanery lightly.

In Assam BJP got 4 seats out of 13. On what basis did BJP get those seats? Sangha Parivar is organizationally very week in Assam. Somebody may infer this success owing to coalition with AGP. This is absolutely wrong. Does AGP make BJP the senior partner in the coalition just like that without deliberating pros and cons? BJP can't garner votes in Delhi and Bombay on the plank of development. Is it not totally foolish to contemplate that BJP garners votes in Assam on development issue? So, the right conclusion is :-BJP got it's votes in Assam. Why? Because, Hindus know very well from their realistic, day to day experience that their very existence is at stake. So, they voted for BJP as a last resort.

BJP got those Hindu votes in large chunk in spite of possibly the weakest organization in Assam out of whole India. Had votes been representative of organizational strength then BJP would have got maximum votes in Kerala as RSS has maximum number of Shakhas in Kerala. However, during last 20 years, BJP votes have hovered in Kerala between 6% to 12%.

Dear readers, let us once again look at the ground reality. Congress will form a stable govt. at the centre for next five years. But the bigger issue remains that this election result would facilitate Rahul Gandhi becoming the future prime minister of India. Whether the country becomes strong, prosperous, developed or stable does not matter at all on election results, but if Rahul becomes PM in future, this degenerated Congress party would get a much needed stability. Gandhi could not walk without a stick and similarly Congress can't walk without the prop of a Gandhi.

Congress revived and re-assured it's prominence in the national scene because of Advani's leadership and Advani himself was nominated by RSS leadership.The issue of Hindutva and Ram Mandir movement pulled BJP up from 2 to 182. Then they started becoming secular, sorry 'pseudo secular'. Still Kargil issue held back their score. Lust for power also started looming large and cast it's dark shadow. All these contrived their thinking that if they become ultra secular, they would be able to increase the score from 182. That is what made them bury all issues related to Hindutva. They simply started cheating Hindus, played with delicate sentiment of Hindus. With an utopian slogan of 'India Shining' and false reading of pulse of electorate they face the 2004 election. The result from --- 182 to 134. That was not enough to utter even once " Hey Ram". The main protagonist of "India Shining" A B Vajpayee was elected from Uttar Pradesh. In Nineties UP was a citadel of BJP. BJP ran govt. in UP on it's own. In that very UP, BJP just got 10 out of 80. Still, addiction to pseudo-secularism did not go away. Lust for power is all pervasive. It numbs one's senses. Vajpayee was instrumental in constructing the national highway. This time Advani and Co. promised to construct Broadband and digital highway. They had firm conviction that they could ascend the throne of Delhi through the digital highway only and thus banished Ram's path. What a hue and cry was made on the day of launching Advani's website. Dr. Ranawat had come from USA to perform surgery on Vajpayee's knee but failed. Pramod Mahajan did neither succeed in curing Vajpayee's knee nor could he turn himself into the kingmaker by launching Advani into his digital trajectory.

Dear reader, you might be feeling hurt within but I am writhing with a deeper pain. I have worked as a RSS whole timer over three decades and it pinches me, it hurts me, it tramples my sentiment, it numbs my sensory nerve, it traumatises me. Dear reader, you are not aware of the following facts. When these so called great BJP leaders were central ministers, they gave directives in their own ministry that if any office bearer of any Hindu organization writes any letter- it need not be replied. Not only was any reply sent but also there was no acknowledgement of these letters. All other letters used to be replied as a routine.

We in RSS always used to pledge by 'Akhanda Bharat' i.e. " Undivided Motherland'. How is the character of so called BJP leaders? Vajpayee went to Pakistan, wore a white band of clothe across his forehead and kissed "Minar-e-Pakistan". Minar-e-Pakistan stands for Pakistani nationhood. By acknowledging this Minar-e-Pakistan, Vajpayee supported Pakistani nationhood and buried the resolve for our great undivided motherland. The visit was not obligatory for Vajpayee to do this. It was his characterlessness and abdication of ideology. When the head of state from Pakistan visits India, he visits Tajmahal but never goes to Rajghat to bow his head in front of epitaph of Gandhi.

Haj subsidy is provided to the Muslim pilgrims and Hindu pilgrims have to pay pilgrimage tax for Gangasagar Fair and other numerous places of pilgrimage. Previously from three embankment centers, Haj pilgrims used to fly. Vajpayee's aviation minister Shanawaz Hussain increased that from three to twelve. In Kishanganj, Vajpayee declared that he would give employment to two lakh Urdu teachers. In Jharkhand, BJP made Urdu the second state language. We, nationalists had agenda like Uniform civil code, scrapping of article 370. These all became back benchers in the Government agenda on the pretext of coalition politics. They stooped to such a low level that they also scrapped these main agendas from BJP's programmes. Not a single infiltrator got arrested. These all resulted in the defeat for BJP in 2004. The greatest credential for any entity is it's credibility. BJP had lost that. Common people came to understand that what BJP professes, it does not follow that. But the leaders were like Ostrich with their necks submerged into deep quagmire.

Thereafter came UPA of Sonia Manmohan. This Government failed in all fronts. Inflation had rocketed. Every week, Jehadi terrorist attack, in some city or other. It continued as a routine and numerous innocent lives got sacrificed. At last came the 26/11. Indian prestige in the international arena got shattered. BJP left no stone unturned to propagate against the same. During the shooting period, no less a person than the stature of Narendra Modi visited the spot. They projected Advani as a strong leader with a decisive Govt. Still people turned them down. People did not believe them. They have already lost their credibility. In Mumbai, Congress bagged all the Six seats. BJP in it's own city Delhi got zero. Even in Gujrat BJP got one more seat but lost 0.9% vote. Modi is over zealous to project himself as Vikash Purush. It could be a fallout of that.In a nutshell, BJP went in a secular mode and it was badly defeated in 1984 & 2004. Advani made BJP bite the dust in 2009. The word secular is great but in Indian real politik it's real meaning is appeasement, blatant minority appeasement and pandering to the base instincts to the fullest extent. Advani went to Pakistan and termed Jinnah as secular. This Jinnah was responsible for division of India that resulted in the genocide and bloodbath of millions of Hindus.

Had there been no Varun Gandhi, BJP would have been in single digit in UP. Varun Gandhi won with a huge margin of 2.3 lakh votes with a Hindu flag in his hands and purely on a Hindu agenda even during the worst BJP plight. Is that Hindu vote or secular vote? BJP garners Hindu votes and dreams of distorted secularism under the influence of media which itself is corrupt, immoral and bribed by petro dollars. In the yore, one foolish Brahmin had a goat but ten frauds repeatedly kept on misleading that foolish Brahmin that it was a dog and the Brahmin abandoned the goat thinking it to be a dog. BJP grew up from 2 to 182 on Hindutva. Analogically, BJP has left Hindutva equating it to be a dog rather than a goat and has declined to 116. It will fall further. However, if BJP gets CONGRESSIZED fully, it will rise again. The young generation leaders of BJP are striving hard to bring in Congressization into BJP.

The greatest question as of today is that whether these gross flaws are confined only to the topmost rung of the party or whether the entire stratum and structure of the party has been Vajpayeeized and Advanized. The true answer to this question would dictate the party in future. That would be the rudder for the party. That would determine the level of obnoxious pollution within the party and how the purging movement could be carried out and if at all this purging movement would be carried out or not. If the answer is in negative, it would create a process of deoxygenating that does not allow any healthy existence. Some optimists in the top rung of RSS like Sri Ashok Singhal think that this disease and distortion is confined to few leaders only and in general the party mechanism is normal. But many veterans hold an opposite view. Many of them who hold this opposite view have dedicated their entire life span for Mother India. In that case, we need to echo the famous 2001 utterance of Shri Ashok Singhal:- " In India, Hindus are politically orphan". So, Hindus badly need a new platform today.

NOTE :

What is Congressization?

Congress as of present date can be best described as a conglomeration of opportunists and self seekers. This trend is very predominant over last four decades. It has not even slightest trace of organizational infrastructure anywhere and it is and it was not a cohesive party but a platform. Anybody may come in and anybody may go out at any point of time. It is the empire of one dynasty and loyalty is the only criterion. Naturally, merit can't coexist with flattery. So, this so called party revolves around a culture that panders to lower base instincts. Indira Gandhi's husband Feroze Khan was a Muslim and so all in Gandhi family bear the legacy of Muslim blood and Muslim appeasement thus becomes a natural corollary. There are regional satraps in every province who maintain their seat of power only and only owing to close proximity with that single family. Sons and daughters automatically get nomination for contesting and no growth in the party is envisaged for organizational acumen but only on relational proximity and being in the good book of some or other influential office bearers. This culture does not only exist in Indian National Congress but also every offshoot and branch that it has shed like Trinamool Congress, Tamil Manila Congress etc. Only personality cult reigns supreme. Whatever Mamata says is the first word and last word and whatever she decides is the final policy in Trinamool Congress and no second thought can be conceived of. Proximity and closeness to her decides one's position in the party. Ayarams and Gayarams are a common feature of this culture and this movement depends on one's opportunistic suitability.

This very mean Congress culture is going to engulf BJP. This is most worrisome and this degenerative process has set in. Advani's daughter with no political experience but only on the strength of being Advani's daughter wants to be projected onto the political projectile. Naturally, those who are dedicated enough and have gone up the rung feel dejected and disheartened. The classic example can be cited from the money bag manager of BJP---late Pramod Mahajan. After his murder, his son Rahul was to fly to Assam for being projected the future leader of the party. Unfortunately, he got critically ill for taking heroine beyond his tolerable limit. Pramod's personal secretary Vivek Maitra even died because of overdose. This just got highlighted because of this death but many such malice have crept deep inside BJP, but BJP was launched as " a party with a difference". Dear reader, judge yourself--where it stands today. There are many Pramods behind your eyes those you know not. Many office bearers could not reconcile with this fact. These type of characterless, parvenu who are absoloutely devoid of any ideology are trying to call the shots in BJP.
