Lament ye Hindus, for our poor, abandoned mother land. Lament for earth ancestors lived, loved, fought, bled and died on, looted by thieves, dacoits, and murderers. Lament ‘leaders’ who betrayed their own people, sheltered behind high-flying words and overwhelming state-sanctioned brute force reprisals.
Calcutta, Direct Action Day, 16th August, 1946 proved beyond doubt that Muslims would not co-exist with Hindus, yearned for return to days of Mughlas and Sultanates where a tiny Muslim colonial elite tyrannised millions of Hindus, and were eager to claim their ‘rights’ in slaughter and rapine. The Muslim run administration of Bengal watched in satisfaction as Hindu homes were comprehensively looted, Hindu women and children abducted and gang-raped, and Hindu temples defiled by cow carcasses and cow blood. Reciprocal Hindu revenge sent more Muslims to Allah than number of defenceless, poor, helpless Hindu men, women and children they slaughtered. At this point, to stop Muslims from being nailed into coffins, Muslim government intervened, called in colonial troops and declared martial law.
Sikhs had borne the brunt of Muslim genocidal horrors in the declining days of Mughal Empire. Emperor after emperor tried to exterminate Sikhs, put bounties on Sikh heads with beard and hair, hunted Sikhs with dogs and tame cheetahs, forcibly tried to convert captured Sikhs, conspired with Hindu hill Rajas and prevented them from allying with Sikhs, several times tortured and massacred significant Sikh populations and famously buried two sons of Guru Govind Singh alive in a brick wall after torturing them. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur was made to watch his Sikhs beheaded daily 700 at a time, forced to kill his young son by his own hand, blinded with cherry-red iron, tongue torn out, skinned alive, gutted, quartered, and finally beheaded – he denied his tormentors a single scream of agony.
Hundreds of thousands of Sikhs volunteered and fought in World War 2, with skill and experience they organized evacuation of their people from West Punjab in armed convoys bristling with weapons and intent. Sikhs avenged mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and temple desecration in West Punjab so successfully in East Punjab that Nehru complained to Gandhi twice as many Muslims were killed by Sikhs than Hindus and Sikhs killed by Muslims.
In East Bengal, landed elite, administrative gentry, skilled labour, urban intellectuals, wealthy merchants, and major economic concerns were almost exclusively Hindu. Rats deserting a sinking ship, this class as a whole fled to Calcutta, Assam, Tripura and other places in India, often to equally established relatives, assured of warm welcome and speedy assimilation in high society. Left behind were millions of poor Hindu sharecroppers, unskilled labourers, urban and rural menially employed, fishermen in riverine Bengal, and vibrant communities thriving since ancient times.
Wave after wave of anti-Hindu pogrom by Muslims they had called neighbours and friends yesterday, comprising wholesale abduction, gang-rape, forced conversion and enslavement of Hindu girls and women, massacre and extermination of male Hindu population, seizure of land and property, and constant threat of death and dismemberment drove this enormous multitude – helpless, haunted, horrified, herded and hectored, into India. Gandhi prayed at Noakhali, and fasted at Calcutta. Muslims were welcome to stay in secular India, many prospered; Hindu rights to ancestral homeland washed down to Bay of Bengal on Padma and Meghna waters red with Hindu blood.
Colonial India was systematically bled dry of wealth and industry by British Raj, who destroyed traditional food grain agriculture to grow indigo and opium, causing huge famines; bankrupted and drove to extinction India’s world-renowned traditional textile industry; stifled India’s shipbuilding yards and international commerce, effectively sinking India’s merchant marine fleet; refused capital to Indian entrepreneurs; flooded markets with subsidised British factory manufactures; prohibitively taxed Indian manufactures; and even levied taxes on salt.
Some industrialisation initiated when British government realised it needed means of war production away from destructive reach of other modern European industrial powers like Germany. A few dynasties of wealthy mercantile oligarchs were carefully planted and nurtured. A significant amount of British war material in two World Wars came from India, and these pet tycoons took over thousands of mines, factories, workshops, infrastructure, equipment, millions of almost-captive labourers, restricted markets with lucrative monopolies, and billions of pounds worth of surplus production when British left. Of course, uninterrupted enjoyment of fortunate windfall was impossible without substantial payment to khadi clad demagogues eager to experience economic benefits of independence.
British Indian Army was largest volunteer armed force on planet at World War 2 end, credited with saving British nation by British general Clade Auchinlek. Victorious against Germans and Italians in North Africa and Italian campaigns, they defeated fanatic Japanese assaults in pivotal Battle of Kohima, re-conquered Burma, decimated enemies in Malaya campaign, and conquered Persia, which secured land route for lend-lease supplies to Soviet Union. This army was chopped up like cabbage by delighted British officers who confidently predicted imminent all-out warfare among former comrades-in-arms in gleeful anticipation.
Indian National Army veterans, who gloriously fought and suffered 26,000 soldiers martyred for Indian Independence in some of most savage battles of entire Second World War, were banned from joining what remained after religious amputation of Indian military on 15 August 1947. Naval ratings who overthrew British tyranny in Bombay, 1946 were not only prohibited employment in Indian Navy, but also denied freedom fighter pensions by Indian government. This was a ‘condition’ of ‘independence’ stressed by Mountbatten and supported by Nehru in document titled ‘Transfer of Power’.
Indian military was further degraded and destroyed in Kashmir conflict, 1947. Jinnah treacherously sent Pakistan Army regular troops into Kashmir because his Pathan tribesmen, masqueraded as Kashmiri ‘freedom fighters’, failed to capture Srinagar, being otherwise occupied with loot of peaceful Kashmiri populations – Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Christian. Indian Army and a fledgling Indian Air Force performed transportation miracles, delivered troops to battlefields at prohibitive altitudes over formidable terrain, kept them supplied, provided close air support by bombing and strafing, and overcame handicaps of rudimentary infrastructure in savage no mercy no prisoners fighting to rescue Nehru’s homeland from Muslim clutches. On verge of victory, driving Pakistani troops before them in rout, Indian soldiers were ordered to halt in place because Nehru did not believe in military confrontation. Under British and American advice, he took Kashmir issue to brand-new United Nations which imposed a ceasefire, created Line of Control and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
Foreign currency reserves of British India were on Indian soil and Home Minister Sardar Patel understandably reluctant to hand over hundreds of millions of pounds to Muslim Pakistan as per Partition Agreement. Donating untold wealth to virulent enemy nation engaged in active shooting war, certain to use donated wealth to purchase advanced weapons and ammunition for use against own soldiers was stupid, suicidal and utterly unthinkable. Gandhi started a fast unto death to bully Indian government into doing exactly that and succeeded, proclaiming it ‘victory of dharma’. Hindu rage and reaction against this last betrayal in an extensive list by self-proclaimed prophet – senile, deranged, obstinate, intensely egotistical, perverted incestuous paedophile, and intolerant of any criticism – was dubbed ‘militant Hindu Nationalism’, loudly discredited, politically outlawed, and violently suppressed.
We may think we are independent, but we are not. Jawaharlal Nehru and his dynasty have treated India and Indian people like private patrimony; secured Muslim vote bank through shameless favouritism; shackled Hindu aspirations to true freedom, liberty, and rights; betrayed Hindu and Indian interest in return of foreign charity called ‘developmental aid’; ignored state-sponsored slaughter of Hindus in East and West Pakistan; jeopardised National Security against foreign enemy nations, and even refused to properly honour Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose for fear of irritated former colonial overlords.
Muslims understand this is an existential struggle. Since 1947 Muslims on our soil have been screaming ‘Haske lia Pakistan, larke lenge Hindustan.’ Four wars failed to teach us Hindus lesson of Blood for Blood – pray we do not drown in our own blood after the fifth.
