WHY MUSLIMS ARE BLINKERED?
TO
WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
NOTE:
Muslims Do Not want to destroy india. It is ONLY the Saffaronized,
Fundamentalists, militant and extremists Hindus-Brahmins, under the leadership
of a criminal, murderer, and one of the "organizers of genocide" of Muslims of the State of
Gujarat, 2002-2003, i. e., Narendra Damodar Modi and his head haunchoes have
been trying their very hard the day in and day out, to "exterminate the Sikhs of the 'robed' PUNJAB of
the 15th August, 1947, minorities like Muslims of the Jammu and Kashmir,
Christians of the North-East India, and elsewhere in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan,
Gujarat, etc., have been trying their hard to 'destroy' the alleged Indian
demo[n]cracy run by fundamentalist, militant and
extremist like Narendra Modi, aided by Mohan Bhagwat and other bigwigs.
Bhagwat's belly is so big, he seems much hungry for decades and more than
one-half century. Try to respect the basic Human right. Who waged an "undeclared"
war, in the form of
a brutal military "Operation Bluestat" in June 1984 in the 'robed' PUNJAB of Sikhs and
citizens of Sikhs' PUNJAB? Have you forgotten that the PUNJAB is Holy and
Historic Home land of Sikhs? These were the Sikhs who had been the "First Sovereign and
Secular Nation"
of South Asia, 1799 to 1849. The Sikhs have nothing
to do with the fundamentalist, militant and extremist Hindus-Brahmins-Turbaned
Brahmins, like Hanera (Prakash) Sinh Badal, KP Gill, Virk and all other
turbaned Brahmins involved in the aforesaid 'undeclared' war waged on the Sikhs
of PUNJAB bon 15th August, 1947. All big bellied and Hungry Brahmins, including the Turbaned
Brahmins go out of PUNJAB, the Sikhs' Homeland.
Do not
ever blame for your wickedness and wicked political polices for
non-Hindus-Brahmins and minorities, including the Dalits.
May the
Khudawand bless you and put you at the service of Mankinds and international
peace.

WHY MUSLIMS ARE

ALL DAV COLLEGES & MANY
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT
HAD HINDU NAMES AND CONNECTION
NO RESPONSE FROM
MUSLIMS IN INDIA OR PAKISTAN WHY?
THE NEXT RENAMING
SHOULD BE ILLAHABAD TO PRAYIAG TREVENI SANGAM
Why
is it when Hindus seek to correct distortions , refuse to honor atrocious
tyrants with names on main thoroughfares it becomes 'communal agenda of
divisive nationalism' ? It appears if Hindus as long as they subject themselves
to any atrocity meekly , it is taken as normal but let Hindus show even a
slight trace of resistance or protest they are derided as looking at their past
with jaundiced eyes.
Actually
jaundice exists in detractors who bring out hate filled diatribes against
Hindus and Hinduism couched in sophisticated verbiage. Every other
sentence in write up below reeks venom against Hindus.
Sudhras
were oppressed hence they chose Islam, for what so that they can be like
'Haris' in Pakistan ? This is a mere afterthought to provide apologia to
Islamic fanatic regimes that came to dominate India . There are any number of
Tariqs(Diaries) or 'namas' (records of chronicles of various Sultans and
Mughals) where proudly how many were mowed down , how many temples got
converted to Mosques and how many Hindus were converted were faithfully
recorded. Actually they were more honest than dubious revisionists resorting to
suppressio veri and suggestio falsi to hoodwink people of India. Mohammedan
tyrants focused on converting so called upper castes, Brahmins and Kshtriyas ,
since they are held in high esteem, those who look up to them will also fall in
line and embrace Islam.
Following
account will further elucidate the strategy of genocide planned on Hindus of
India during Mohammedan domination , with some focus on Aurangazeb , removal of
whose name on a main thorough fare appears to be causing undying heart burn
certain circles . It is rather disingenuous to claim, see there are still
Hindus left after 800 years of Mohammedan rule so their reign must not have
been bad after all . This is as absurd as telling that Bubonic Plague
epidemic is very benign because there are still people alive after its attack.
Those who adhere to such notions apparently refuse to see stubborn resistance
offered by Hindu defenders at a great sacrifice , refusing to bow their heads
before one tyrant or another .
Our
history is full of such heroic sagas. Founding of Vijayanagar or resistance by
heroes like Rana Pratap illustrate India's sagacious nature, eventually
overcoming every oppressive regime . Any one who is aware of Rana's life
, his overcoming all odds to retain his freedom , his sacrifices along
with that of suffering of his family and eventual triumph albeit without
liberating Chitore, unless he or she is an incorrigible devotee of peculiar
secularism in India which stipulates one must uphold Shariat and Aurangazeb
in order to be secular in India, can only come to one conclusion,
about Rana Pratap , he was great in every respect. To day Hindu
civilization and ethos remain in India and in turn pluralism and democracy flourish
there but not in areas lost to admirers of Aurangazeb, illustrates
validity of resistance offered by likes of Rana Pratap and Shivaji et al ,
otherwise there would have been more sky scrapers in United State reduced to
scrap metal by followers of likes of Aurangazeb.
The
following account tells us about martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur. And what was
done to him , and what was done to force Brahmins of Kashmir not Sudras
mind you, into Islam before, including cutting off their sacred threads just in
one day weighing about a ' maund' (nearly 100 pounds ) along with cutting
off heads since they refused to obey Aurangazeb to become Moslems, also further
inform us as to why there are still Hindus in India. It is such sacrifices at
every level in India , today virtues like democracy , liberty remain for all
people, including Muslims . It is only in India where shias and sunnis can go
to their mosques with out fear of being blown apart unlike in Pakistan where
Aurangazeb is considered as a 'Pir', a model to be emulated.
Before
we go further, there are apologists for the Mughal with regard to Guru
Teg Bahadur too. Do you know why Aurangazeb had Guru Tegbahadur tortured and
beheaded ? Because he was a bandit states text books authored no doubt by a
eminent secular historian. Now if any one proposes and changes such abominable
anomaly , of course you know what cry goes up ? Saffronization .
Similarly we should leave name of illustrious Mughal on name plate
of major street in Delhi, otherwise removing it will amount communal
divisive nationalism. Such is perversity which passes for progressivism
in India that is not Bharath.

Martyrdom
of Guru Tegh Bahadur and Kashmiri Pandits
The
martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur has a multi-dimensional significance in the
annals of Kashmir, especially for the survival of Kashmiri Pandits. Aurangzeb
was very eager to convert India, “the land of the infidels into the land of the
faithfuls”. The Brahmins preserved the Hindu religion and their wholesale
conversion to Islam would have helped him in bringing the rest of the Hindus
into Muslim fold. He thought of converting Brahmins to Islam because they form
the core of the Hindu religious tradition. So he started persecuting them.

Kashmiri
Pandits were renowned for their learning and orthodoxy. When the Mughal emperor
turned his eyes towards them, he encountered stiff resistance. During 49 years
of his reign, Kashmir was administered by 14 governors. Iftikhar Khan was the
most fanatic and bigoted of these. He ruled Kashmir from 1671 to 1675. He was
using force ruthlessly to convert Pandits to Islam. Faced with an ultimatum,
many of them began to flee Kashmir. Those who stayed back and refused to accept
Islam were put to sword.
Some
Kashmiri Pandits met under the leadership of Pandit Kripa Ram of Mattan and
decided to go to the Swami Amarnath cave temple and invoke the mercy of Lord
Shiva. At the holy cave temple, one of them saw Lord Shiva in a dream Who told
him to go to Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of Sikhs, and ask for help to save
the Hindu religion. He spoke to his companions about the revelation and they
all decided to appeal him.
Guru
Tegh Bahadur was a multi-faceted genius. He was a Prophet, a Saviour, a Mystic,
a poet, a martyr and a great visionary. A visionary who could understand
reality in its totality. He was saviour of the Hindus. He fought against
fanaticism and championed the cause of religious freedom. He was one of the
greatest liberator of mankind. His hymns gave a clear idea of his vision of
life and have been a source of spiritual solace to millions of men and women.
Mystics have a vision of life and the Guru was a mystic visionary as well as a
revolutionary. He was a fearless man and an enlighted soul. He was a saint, a
yogi, a soldier and a prince. He dressed like a prince, took part in hunting,
participated in battles, but was basically a saint. He was a true yogi who led
the life of a householder.He fought in self defence and when he deemed it fit, he
laid down his life in defence of helpless Kashmiri Pandits.
Guru
Tegh Bahadur was leading a secular movement and was immensely popular. He
attracted large crowds wherever he went. Out of 11 years of his spiritual
reign, he spent almost 8 years in traveling through Bengal, Bihar, Assam,
Orissa, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. He visited almost all the places earlier
visited by Guru Nanak Dev Ji to propagate the message of humanity. During his
tour, he came across and exchanged views with Brahmins, Vaishnav saints, Sufis
and all those who had been upset by Aurangzeb’s increasing oppression. The Guru
came to be admired by them. He was all compassion for the suffering humanity
and people flocked to him in large numbers. The Guru maintained an open
kitchen. To serve the congregation the residents of the villages voluntarily
collected food stuffs, milk and butter for Guru’s langer. It was his
identification with the people and his love and compassion for them, which
created the popular perception of the Guru as a hero who could come to the
rescue of the down- trodden. They took him as their saviour. He became a source
of spiritual solace for the suffering people and they saw in him their
protector against tyranny. That is why the Kashmiri Pandits felt that he could
help them and protect them from the tyrannical rule of Aurangzeb.
The
Mughals ruled India for more than two hundred years. Earlier Muslim dynasties
had very short span of life .The Khalji dynasty ruled for 30 years(1290-1321),
the Tughlaq dynasty for 94 years(1321-1414), Sayyads for 37 years
(1414-1451) and the Lodis ruled for 75 years. The Mughal emperor Aurangzeb
wanted to convert India-the land of ‘infidels’ into an Islamic country.He
considered conversion to Islam as a part of his imperial policy.He demolished
temples and humiliated Hindus. He tried to make the Mughal state a Muslim
theocracy. In November 1665 he issued orders that Holi not be celeberated and
in the same year Diwali was also banned. In 1668 Aurangzeb banned the holding
of Hindu festivals in pilgrimage centers. In 1668 he banned music and dismissed
musicians. Taxes were imposed on Hindus in almost every field. Pilgrim tax was
imposed in 1679. Jizya was re-imposed in the same year. It was an attempt to
humiliate the Hindu elite. Abu Talib was sent to the friendly state of Jaipur
and he reported that he had demolished 66 temples at Amber. During his march to
Deccan the emperor ordered the destruction of all the temples en-route. He
celebrated his victory over Golkanda by destroying temples at Hyderabad. In
1692 he ordered that the temple at Rasulpur should be destroyed. Hiteshwar
Mandir at Barnagar in Guujarat was destroyed in 1693. In 1696-97 temples at
Sorath in Gujarat were demolished. He stopped the public worship of idols at
Dwarka. Prominent Hindu temples demolished on orders from Aurangzeb; Lalita
Temple at Delhi, Temples of Malirana(Jaipur),
Vishhvanath
temple and Gopi Nath temple at Benaras in August 1669. Vallabhcharya temple at
Mathura.At Surat the Brahmins were asked to pay a large sum of protection
money. In 1707 Hindus
were
not allowed to burn their dead on the banks of river Sabarmati at Ahmedabad.
Fireworks of all kinds were prohibited as per Fatwa-e- Alamgiri. Almost the
whole of the Muslim period in the history of India was a crusade against Hindu
religion and culture.
In
March 1671 a Muslim officer was sent to Ujjain to demolish Hindu temples. The
Hindus of Ujjain rose in protest. They rioted and killed the officer and many
of his soldiers. There were many other stray attempts by Hindus to resist the
high handedness of the emperor. It was Shivaji who was the lone protector of
Hinduism. He fought many battles and finally founded Maratha Empire.
The
Hindu centers of pilgrimage were citadels of Hinduism. Aurangzeb focused his
attention specially on Kashmir, Kuruksheta, Varanasi and Haridwar. He ordered
that the Brahmins of these places should be brought into the fold of Islam.
According to Macauliffe, ‘The Sikh Religion’ Vol. IV. P369.” The experiment of
wholesale conversion was first tried in Kashmir. The Kashmiri Pandits were well
known for their scholarship and converting them to Islam would encourage other
Hindus to embrace Islam. Surrounded as they were with Muslim lands, they could
be threatened with war and complete annihilation. The peaceful Kashmiris could
not be expected to resist the Muslim military might. The emperor also felt that
he might succeed in tempting the Brahmins from Kashmir into accepting Islam by
promises of money and government appointments.” Koer Singh Kalal, the author of
‘Gurbilas Patshahi Das’, Chapter IV. Says that “there was piled up a heap of a
maund and quarter of janeus (sacred threads) of the Hindus who had embraced
Islam under the command of Iftikhar Khan. Many of the Brahmins who did not
accept Islam under the threat of death managed to escape from Kashmir and under
the guidance of Kirpa Ram, they reached the Darbar of Guru Tegh Bahadur.”
On
May 25,1675, when 500 Brahmins from the valley led by Pandit Kripa Ram (a
sanskrit teacher in Gobind Rai) came to Anandpur to narrate their story of
repression and woes to Guru Tegh Bahadur. The Guru was moved by their
entreaties and told them that their problem could be solved only if some soul
of truthfulness and integrity offers himself for sacrifice. His son, Gobind
Singh, who was at that time just nine years old, said; ”Who else can be more
truthful and sublime than you! You alone can protect the Hindu religion. You
alone are that graceful and sublime.” Guru Tegh Bahadur was delighted to hear
the brave words of his son. He told the Kashmiri Pandits to go and tell the
emperor that if he could be able to convert the Guru to Islam, they would
gladly follow him. This resolve of the Guru and his ultimate sacrifice brought
tremendous change in the body politic of India, leading in turn to the
establishment of the Khalsa by his brave son Guru Gobind Singh, the decline of
the Mughal supremacy and re-establishment of religious tolerance.
Malcolm
writes in ‘Sketch of Sikhs, P.33’ ;” The Sikhs stung by a deep sense of
injuries listened to the Guru with all the ardour of men commencing a military
career of glory. They listened with rapture to a son glowing, with vengeance
against the murderers of his father who taught a doctrine suited to his
troubled state of mind, called upon his followers by every feeling of manhood,
to lay aside their peacable habits, to graft the resolute courage of the
solider on the enthusiasm of the devotee to swear eternal war with the cruel
and haughty Mohammedans.”
On
November 11, 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur attained martyrdom at Chandi Chowk, Delhi.
It is known as Gurdwara Sisgunj Sahib. Three of the Guru’s devotees, Bhai Mati
Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala, had been tortured to death a day earlier on
the very spot on which the Guru was martyred. Before these fearless followers
of the Guru had their tryst with divinity, the Guru had blessed them and said,”
All my blessings are with you --- my noble disciples. What greater joy and
pride can I have than the thoughts that my dearest disciples were with me. “
Guru
Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom is an event of greatest importance in the evolution of
the Indian ethos, especially the history of Kashmiri Pandits. In his supreme
sacrifice can be perceived the triumph of the eternal glory of the Indian
spiritual tradition.
*****
It
is Gurus like Teg Bahadur, heroes like Rana Pratap, Shivaji et al and so many
more common people of India whose names are lost to history, who helped to
preserve Hindu Dharma but not any benevolence or benign nature of likes of
Aurangazeb . India is in ascendancy at present , Hindu culture is already
playing positive role in promoting civilization in the world , on one day in
June 2015 whole world including Muslim nations practiced Yoga. No body put a
sword on any body to force them to do so. In the past our culture and
civilization went to far flung areas in similar manner and in future too same
phenomenon is bound to take place. Indonesia is world's largest Muslim nation.
Yet they play Ramayana dramas and study Bhagvad Gita, even though no Hindu
missionary lured them with rice or forced them . That is all encompassing, all
inclusive culture and civilization of India,now called Hindu. It is a pity that
self alienated, hate filled of India origin fail to see virtues of their own
ancestry. It is their loss. Their favorites like Alamgir are history , no body
is going to turn clock back . With,without or in spite of such elements
India will march, Hindu Dharma will progress .
Best
wishes,
