Emphasis on Multilingualism in NEP 2020 –And its necessity

The NEP 2020 details in Introduction i.e its text from: 4.9 about – Multilingualism and the power of language. To know why multilingualism is necessary for the country and what urgent things have led to the promotion of multilingualism, were deliberated threadbare in a Conclave, the minutes of it are given here:

Reasons for promoting multilingualism in India: 

“A Conclave on Diversity of Indian Languages” by name Gyana Sangam was organised under the aegis of Pragna Bharati on 2nd and 3rd of March-2019 in Hyderabad. In that Conclave many nationalistic thinkers, academicians, researchers and entrepreneurs were involved in discussing to bring out a linguistic ecosystem for the integration and growth of Bharat. They all opined that strength of India lies in the country’s language diversity, which in turn paves the way for multilingualism. 

Shri Panchanan Mohanty, Retd Professor Hyderabad Central University (HCU) in his Keynote speech said-‘five thousand years old Indian languages have been unifying our tradition. Sanskrit nourished most of the languages. The problem in this country is, unlike in Japan-Japanese, Russia –Russian, Germany-German, there is no language to name with in India. Here, in India, one can have as many as his own i.e. multilingualism. If you learn your language, you can learn your culture; culture is a part of language’.

‘Mother Tongues are like mother’s milk that is necessary for a child for its physical and mental growth at initial stages. A person who is weak in mother tongue is weak in other tongue also. If we want to promote primary education in mother tongue, we need to discuss when a second language should be introduced,’ he said.

Salient points of eminent speakers in the Conclave:

  1. The government of India should formulate the ‘Language Education Policy’. In each state, if non-natives speak the natives’ language, they should be appreciated and honoured.
  2.  “India is a darshan of all languages and traditions, the country is known for its tolerance and universal acceptance”, ‘Bharat is a Darshan’- in reality.
  3. There is a lot of debate going on in the country, on how a market-oriented language (English) is sidelining the mother tongue. By mechanically following the western-model, Indians are not critically thinking of what is happening.
  4. When Indian languages are going to be eliminated by the domination and onslaught of English language, it is extremely problematic.  In India we have no single language to speak throughout the country. Hence, a comprehensive policy is needed.
  5. Peoples’ languages or mother tongues are seriously neglected. They are going to be endangered, since India has no language policy in the country. Hence, multilingualism should be promoted. It creates the child more intelligence and more cognitive effects. Even researchers say to that effect.
  6.  Hindi and Urdu are not different; they only have two different scripts. At the ground level, they are the same. Arabic has nothing in common with Urdu than it has with Persian.
  7. In India only scheduled languages get patronize of the government whereas non-scheduled languages do not. So, tribals opt for bilingualism leading to language loss of one of their languages.
  8. Interestingly, Studies show that Indians get Dementia at a late age compared to Americans because of multilingualism which works on their cognitive domain better.
  9. Mother tongue works on eco-system also. If a student is asked to name ten birds in English, he takes time whereas in mother tongue he says quickly with ease. That shows for conservation of environment/ flora and fauna, mother tongue is important.
  10. Mahatma Gandhi’s words with regard to English education were reminded. According to Gandhi ji, ‘the English-education-mask, has emasculated the English educated Indian; put a strain on his nerves and energy. With imitators (of English), no country can rise. The whole nation is emasculated. We can never become proper Bharat’.

Against this background Gyana Sangam: A Conclave on Diversity of Indian Languages worked to promote mother tongue and multilingualism, said Professor Mohanty at the end to the audiences present in the auditorium. Of course he also added, ‘now, in India, English is no more an alien language. English is going to stay in this country. The knowledge of English is beneficial’.

Shri Bhanuchander Nagarajan, Govt Representative from corporate spoke at length on Societal Responsibilities towards preservation of Indian Languages. He said without protecting a language, one cannot promote it. As a matter of fact, he said 1971-war of Indo- Pakistan that led to the creation of Bangladesh was a language-war. That was for the Bengali-identity of Bangladeshis. Language is the fundamental glue. Languages have not died; they may slowly die, if not protected.

‘With mobility and technology, one can acquire multilingualism. Nowadays people are travelling a lot on business purposes (across India) where they need to learn the local language. Politicians of south India are not averse to learn Hindi to play a major role in at the Centre in Delhi!’ he said in a lighter vein.

Perhaps with above background and the contemplation made by the speakers, that equally resonate in many intellectual circles, the government went ahead to incorporate multilingualism in NEP 2020. After all, it is the duty of every individual to protect his/her language. Finally, to protect one’s own language is, to protect one’s own identity and culture.

How the sad demise of a Holy seer brought back the memory of Indira’s blatant abuse of power

How the sad demise of a Holy seer brought back the memory of Indira’s blatant abuse of power

His Holiness Shri Kesavananda Bharti Sripadagalavaru, a prominent spiritual leader, the pontiff of Edneer Mutt in Kasargod left for his heavenly abode in the early hours of Sunday at the age of 79. He was an ardent follower of Sri Shankaracharya and Advaitya Philosophy. It is widely believed that Edneer mutt was founded by one of the first four disciples of Adi Shankaracharya. He was known as a philosopher and a Classic Singer. He spent his life in contributing towards community service and improving the life of downtrodden. He was a great patron of Yakshagana and worked for reviving this traditional theatre form of Karnataka.

But apart from his above-said pursuits related to his saintly life, he was very famous in the legal and the constitutional field. His name in the title of a case (Keshavananda Bharti Vs State of Kerala, 1973) is quoted again and again by jurists, legal luminaries and law students. His petition in Supreme Court against the government led to the most significant and biggest landmark constitutional case of India. The Largest ever bench of 13 judges in the history of Supreme Court, had the longest hearing of 68 days and given a Land mark verdict in Kesavananda Bharti case. This very verdict founded the basic structure doctrine of Indian Judiciary which meant that some basic features of Indian constitution could not be altered even by the means of amendment under article 368.

In the year 1970, Edneer Mutt’s Land was also acquired along with the numerous pieces and parcels of privately owned land by Kerala government under the state Land reforms act. It started a spree of litigations. To avoid the scrutiny of the courts on the detailed provisions of State Land Reforms act, Union govt. led by Indira Gandhi placed this act under Schedule IX of constitution which was immune to judicial review at that point of time. Swami Kesavanad Bharti moved the petition in Supreme Court under the Article 26 (Right to manage religious affair – to own and acquire movable and immovable property).

Even though Swami Kesavananda Ji lost the case and could not get back his land from Kerala government but the winner of the case was the spirit of constitution, as envisaged by the members of the constituent assembly. The verdict of this case bolstered the position of Supreme Court as custodian of the constitution and protected the independent nature of Judiciary from the excesses of erstwhile congress government. Court ruled that even parliament could not change the basic structure of Constitution and Schedule IX could not take away the power of judicial review from Supreme court, Hence acts kept under Schedule IX could be subjected to Judicial review. This case gave India constitutional guarantee. 

Before the verdict of Kesavanada Bharti Vs State of Kerala, Indira used Schedule IX as the cloak for robbing the Judiciary of its power of judicial review enshrined in our Constitution by simply keeping a act in schedule IX. Under the garb of this Schedule she tried to shift the constitutional balance of power to her advantage.

Restriction on her power by court ruling in Kesavananda case miffed Indira Gandhi to the core as she was unaccustomed to constitutional controls. She retaliated by elevating Justice Ajit Nath Ray, who was among the dissenter judge, to the post of Chief Justice of India superseding three senior most judges who were signatories of the judgment in Kesavanada case. It was unprecedented in India Legal history. When Justice  Ajit Nath Ray accepted the post of CJI, all of the three judges (Justices Jaishanker Manilal Shelat, A N Grover and K S Hegde) senior to him resigned.

Advocate C.K. Daphtary termed the incident as “the blackest day in the history of democracy.” Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah (previous Chief Justice of India) remarked that “this was an attempt of not creating ‘forward looking judges’ but ‘judges look forward’ to the office of Chief Justice.

Awarded with the post of chief Justice sans seniority, Justice Ajit Nath Ray set up a bench of 13 judges to review the Kesavananda Bharti Case. But, to the fortune of Indian Democracy, this bench was dissolved after two days of argument citing absence of written review petition. But this could not deter the constitutional Misadventures of Mrs Gandhi, which culminated into imposing of emergency in the month of June, 1975.

Emergency gave her leeway to aggrandize her power by curtailing the constitutional power of Courts. She passed 39th constitutional amendment in Aug, 1975 which placed the election of President, Vice- President, Prime minster and speaker of Lok Sabha beyond the scrutiny of Indian Courts including Supreme Court.

During emergency, she enacted the most controversial amendment act, 42nd constitutional amendment Act, 1976. It was known as Mini constitution as it contained a long list of provisions, all aimed to make her powers unquestionable.  42nd amendment act abrogated the ruling of biggest bench of Supreme court in Kesavananda Bharti case and gave absolute power to parliament to amend any part of constitution. The power of Supreme Court to validate the constitutionality of any amendment was also snatched.

If a student of political science or a curious citizen think that imposing emergency was Indira Gandhi’s only ill intentioned attack on constitution and abuse of Democratic system, then he/she is wrong. No doubt that incidence of imposing emergency of 1975 was her biggest blow on the roots of Indian democracy. It was just shy of dictatorial coup, where opposition leaders were jailed, Media was gagged, and suddenly citizens of this country literally lost their independence. But definitely emergency was not her only attempt but it was the obvious culmination of her sequential  attacks where, she drunk high on the power of numbers, tried to trample the tenets of democracy , threatened the independence of judiciary and disturbed the constitutional balance of power.

In the terms of abuse of power of her democratic position, she was a serial offender. Even before imposing emergency, she was hitting hard continuously at constitutional balance of power between the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary. It will be worth mentioning to discuss about each incidence in brief.

In the year 1967, while awarding the verdict in I.C. Gokalnath Vs State of Punjab case (1967 AIR 1643, 1967 SCR (2) 762), 11 Judge Bench of Honorable Supreme Court held that Parliament cannot amend the Fundamental Rights of citizens by the process of amendment under article 368. And if Parliament wants to radically change Part III of constitution which contains Fundamental Rights, then a new Constituent assembly must be convened.

This decision did go well with Congress government and left Indira Gandhi Red-faced. By any means, she in collusion with the communists wanted to abrogate the ruling of Supreme Court in Gokalnath Case. Indira struck back with the 24th Constitutional amendment which provided parliament the unconditional power under article 368 to amend any part of constitution. As she did want any anticipated hurdle in exercising her absolute power, 24th amendment taken away the discretion of the President and made his/her consent obligatory under article 368. Indian Press criticized this amendment, Jurists opposed it and all the surviving members of Constituent assembly at that time rued it.

In the year 1969, just two days before the session of Parliament, Indira govt. promulgated Banking company ordinance which nationalized 14 Banks. This ordinance had a very harsh and controversial. Provision which read that in case of disagreement with government on the amount of compensation, A Tribune would decide the compensation but it would be paid 10 years after the tribune’s decision. Later Parliament also passed Banking Company Act with same provision. 

R.C. Cooper, a majority share holder in one of the Bank filed writ petition in Supreme Court. (AIR 1970 SC 564; 1970 SCR (3) 530). Supreme Court invalidated the Banking Act as it was in contravention to the Article 31 which bounded the government to pay compensation to the owner of acquired property and also it was against the article 14 (Equality before Law) as Foreign Banks were allowed to function. Reacting to this ruling, Indira Gandhi held cabinet meeting and brought 25th constitutional amendment which not only negated the ruling of Supreme Court but also barred the courts from intervening in the matter of compensation of property.

At that time, Legal expert V.G. Ramachandran opined that 25th amendment smacks of totalitarianism. He described the 24th and 25th Amendments as “not ‘tinkering’ with the Constitution but a veritable slaughter of the Constitution.

The repeated abuse of power by Indira Gandhi was horrific and smacked of dictatorship. It is the irony of Indian Democracy that these transgressions were never debated upon adequately and never taught in the books of political science. In an organized way, with the help of patronized intellectuals, rewarded academicians, eulogized liberals and subjugated bureaucracy which was hell-bent on pleasing its master, an Eco-system was created. This eco-system swept Indira Gandhi’s constitutional transgression away from the active public and political discourse saving it from critical analysis.  As Indira Gandhi’s family members went on ruling the country for decades after her either as PM or Super PM, this Eco-system further bloomed with more fertility and covered up her grave misdeed more efficiently.

It is not the ideological difference but sheer baseless hate for Modi that the so called secularists, intellectuals and liberals accuse the Modi government of disregarding the constitution on drop of the Hat but excuse themselves from commenting on Indira’s constitutional trespassing. This so called intelligentsia can never appreciate the commitment of Modi government towards the authority of Constitutional Institutes. BJP had the construction of Ram Temple on their Election manifesto of 2014. But it did not choose the route of ordinance promugalation for Ram temple despite having numbers in parliament. It waited six years for Supreme Court decision for carrying out Bhoomi Pujan at Ayodhya.

Whatever may be one’s political or ideological inclinations, he/she cannot deny the fact that congress party deserve praise for its survival skills, which are based on principles of divisive politics, as even after committing the brutal murder of democracy in June 1975 and conspiringly damaging the constitutional institutions on various occasions, it is still sailing in the political arena of India.  

Had it not been for the Supreme Court ruling in Kesavananda Bharti case, categorically stating that Basic structure of constitution could not be touched, we cannot imagine to what level of triviality, Indira Gandhi would have reduced the Constitutional Institution and its principles. The reasoning in this case was so potent that it had been used and quoted in various subsequent landmark judgments of Indian courts. Supreme Court of Bangladesh in 1989 adopted the basic structure doctrine by expressly relying on the reasoning in the Kesavanada case.

As we pray to God to provide Moksha to the revered saint Kesavananda Bharti; we, the Indian citizens, must be thankful to him for moving the writ petition of fundamental Right in Supreme Court, just at the age of 30, under the guidance Legal Luminary Nani Palkhiwala. Hearing on this petition only resulted into the guarantee of the basic structure of constitution for citizens. This guarantee saved the constitution and the country from the hands of tyrannical and dictatorial ruler, who was hell-bent to usurp the power of the constitutional institutions and rendering them hollow and authorityless.

Jahangir was Anti-Hindu Islamic fanatic just like other Mughal rulers, but my professor is in love with him

Jahangir was Anti-Hindu Islamic fanatic just like other Mughal rulers, but my professor is in love with him

Jahangir, who ruled northern parts of India between 1605-1627AD, seems to be a tolerant ruler when compared to Aurangzeb but if we look closely at the historical accounts, his bigotry and hatred towards Hinduism becomes clear.

My professor sent a reading named “Recovering a Missing Voice from Mughal India: The Imperial Discourse of Jahangir in his Memoirs”, written by ‘Corinne Lefevre’.

In his lectures he discards all the historical accounts telling about Jahangir except Jahangirnama. The reading also does so. The professor and the reading sent by him, try to establish the wrong narrative that all the contemporary accounts were written only to show Jahangir in bad light.

Francis Bernier, Thomas Roe and all travelers who wrote about 17th century history were biased against Jahangir, according to my professor. Elliot and Dawson who wrote about the History of India taking reference solely from the Medieval Historians, are wrong according to him.

For him Jahangir was a ‘Secular’ Ruler. He also says that people have not understood the ‘greatness’ of Jahangir.

When I started looking into the sources that he discarded in his love for Jahangir, the picture became clear that Jahangir was Anti-Hindu Islamic Fanatic just like other Mughal Rulers.

Demolishing Temples for the sake of Islam and selling Hindus as slaves in Central Asia were the parts of his behaviour towards Hindus and Hinduism.

Scott C Levi writes that more than 2 lakh Hindus were sold as slaves in 1620s and 1630s in Central Asia.

“By and large, the enslavement of Hindus and their exportation to Central Asia continued unhindered throughout the Mughal period. Abd Allah Khan Firuz Jang, an Uzbek noble at the Mughal court during the 1620s and 1630s, was appointed to the position of governor of the regions of Kalpi and Kher and, in the process of subjugating the local rebels, “beheaded the leaders and enslaved their women, daughters and children, who were more than 2lacks in number”.[1]

‘Tuzuk-I-Jahangiri’, the autobiography of Jahangir, tells about an Incident when he visited Pushkar in Rajasthan. He very jealously ordered to demolish a Varaha Temple situated there. In his own words –

“I went to see that temple. I found a form cut out of black stone, which from the neck above was in the shape of a pig’s head, and the rest of the body was like that of a man. The worthless religion of the Hindus is this, that once on a time for some particular object the Supreme Ruler thought it necessary to show himself in this shape; on this account they hold it dear and worship it. I ordered them to break that hideous form and throw it into the tank”.[2]

The Emperor by the divine guidance had always in view to extirpate all the rebels in his dominions, to destroy all infidels root and branch, and to raze all Pagan temples level to the ground. Endowed with a heavenly power, he devoted all his exertions to the promulgation of the Muhammadan religion; and through the aid of the Almighty God, and by the strength of his sword, he used all his endeavors to enlarge his dominions and promote the religion of Muhammad.[3]

‘Intikhab-I-JahangirShahi’, an account contemporary of Jahangir, tells that when he came to know about Jain Temples in Ahmadabad, he instantly ordered to demolish them.

“The Emperor Jahangir ordered them to be banished from the country, and their temples to be demolished. Their idol was thrown down on the uppermost step of the mosque, that it might be trodden upon by those who came to say their daily prayers there. By this order of the Emperor, the infidels were exceedingly disgraced, and Islam exalted”.[4]

These are a few historical accounts which I have looked till now. I took guidance from the book of Sita Ram Goel “Hindu Temples : What Happened to them” and “Islamic Jihad” by MA Khan.

After reading these facts, it is crystal clear that Jahangir was not secular from any angle. In fact, did reverse of it.

Sir Thomas Roe writes about the situation of cities in the reign of Jahangir. He says – “In General, all old cities are beaten down, by what policy I understand not; but the King seeks to ruin of anything not begun by his Ancestors”.[5]

Jahangir was just like other Mughal Rulers – An Islamic Fanatic who hated Hindus and Hinduism every bit and piece. Still I am being taught wrong about him, that so in the famous Kirori Mal College.

ये रामानुज, लक्ष्मण की नगरी है

ये रामानुज, लक्ष्मण की नगरी है

लखनऊ विकास प्राधिकरण, शीघ्र ही नगर के हुसैनाबाद क्षेत्र में लगभग पांच हज़ार वर्ग मीटर भूमि पर एक संग्रहालय का निर्माण करने जा रहा है। इसके निर्माण के लिए भारतीय पुरातत्व सर्वेक्षण विभाग की अनापत्ति प्राप्त हो गयी है। तीन तलों वाले इस संग्रहालय में हुसैनाबाद की कहानी, लखनऊ का अतीत, नवाबों की कहानी, कर्बला की कहानी, हुसैनाबाद टाइम लाइन जैसे विषय होंगे।

बन कर तैयार हो गया तो ये लखनऊ की “सिटी ऑफ़ नवाब्स एंड कबाब्स” वाली झूठी और गढ़ी गयी पहचान को पुख्ता करने का काम ही करेगा। आज समय इस सत्य को अधिकाधिक लोगों तक पहुँचाने का है कि लखनऊ नवाबों और कबाबों की कुछ सौ साल पुरानी आलसी और अय्याश बस्ती नहीं है वरन भारतीय संस्कृति के आदि पुरुष श्री राम से जुड़ी पवित्र नगरी है।

लखनऊ की स्थापना रामानुज श्री लक्ष्मण ने की थी और उन्ही के नाम पर इसका मूल नाम लक्ष्मणपुरी है. स्वयं हनुमान जी लखनऊ के  नगर देवता हैं. नगर में होने वाले बड़े मंगल महोत्सव इसके प्रमाण हैं।

नगर के पूर्व सांसद लालजी टंडन ने अपनी शोध आधारित पुस्तक “अनकहा लखनऊ” में बहुत से तथ्य सामने रखे हैं। लखनऊ के मूल निवासी भली भांति जानते हैं कि लखनऊ में प्रसिद्ध लक्ष्मण टीला हुआ करता था जिस पर न जाने कब मस्जिद बन गयी, पहले उसे लक्ष्मण टीला मस्जिद ही कहा जाता था। धीरे धीरे वो टीले वाली मस्जिद हो गयी और श्री लक्ष्मण का नाम गायब हो गया। ये पिछले कुछ दशकों में हुआ परिवर्तन है जिसकी गवाही नगर के बुजुर्ग दे सकते हैं। लक्ष्मणपुरी को नवाबों की पहचान देने के षड्यंत्र को इस बात से अच्छी तरह समझा जा सकता है कि “अनकहा लखनऊ” के प्रकाशन पर उन मुस्लिमों ने भी स्पष्ट रूप से नाराज़गी ज़ाहिर की थी जिनके बीच लाल जी टंडन लोकप्रिय रहे थे।

लखनऊ के निवासियों को एक बार यह अनुभूति हुयी कि दबे पांव ही सही, अच्छेदिन आ रहे हैं जब “अनकहा लखनऊ” के प्रकाशन के उपरान्त, लखनऊ के चप्पे चप्पे को नवाबों की धरोहर साबित करने वाले इतिहासविद भी स्वीकार करने लगे कि नगर का एक हिस्सा छोटी अयोध्या कहा जाता था, जहाँ हर घर में मंदिर है और ये नवाबों के समय से बहुत पहले के हैं। ऐसा लगा कि अब नगर को अपनी वास्तविक पहचान वापस मिलेगी किन्तु ये संग्रहालय तो नगर की छद्म छवि ही स्थापित करेगा।

संग्रहालय ज्ञान और आदर्श स्मृतियों संचयन के लिए बनाए जाते हैं. लखनऊ की कहानी का कर्बला की कहानी से क्या लेना देना, जो यहाँ बनने वाले संग्रहालय में उसे दिखाया जाये? नवाबों के जीवन में क्या सीख है जो समाज को लेनी चाहिए?

यदि संग्रहालय बनाना ही है तो उसमें नवाबों से पूर्व के लखनऊ, श्री लक्ष्मण द्वारा बसाये गए लखनऊ, श्री हनुमान द्वारा रक्षित लखनऊ और छोटी अयोध्या कहे जाने वाले लखनऊ के हिस्से को पूरा स्थान दिया जाये अन्यथा संग्रहालय सामाजिक और ऐतिहासिक दोनोँ ही दृष्टियों से राजकोषीय धन का दुरुपयोग माना जाना चाहिए।

लखनऊ के सांसद, उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री, लखनऊ के महापौर सभी को मिलकर इस संग्रहालय की रूपरेखा की समीक्षा करनी चाहिए और ये सुनिश्चित करना चाहिये कि संग्रहालय लक्ष्मणपुरी का खोया हुआ गौरव स्थापित करने का काम करे।  

Existential crisis and the decay of Pakistan

Existential crisis and the decay of Pakistan

The struggle for survival is nature’s gift. But a struggle for identity indicates some fundamental contradiction. Pakistan is a country which was born out of hate and deceit and gradually evolved as a cannibalizing society for its own citizens. A society that proposes only to destroy itself.

If one were to look into Pakistan’s history, some of the earliest to have called for Nation for Indian Muslims were Syed Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Iqbal, Rehmat Ali and Mohammad Ali Jinnah. All of them were votaries of a Strong India when the British decimated the Mughals and banished the Muslim elite from Governance leading to mass impoverishment and disenfranchisement. The era from 1707 to 1920 was that of wilderness and darkness for these unidentified groups within Nation called India. It was Mahatma Gandhi who provided them with much needed oxygen by mainstreaming a religious cause called Khilafat movement absolutely unrelated to Nation of India.

By 1940, they had put themselves together and were able to coin a name of a nation called Pakistan which had Urdu, Persian and Pashto connotations. The origin of the nation’s name was in itself an infringement upon originality. No historical assertion and no cultural bonding existed with the name.

In the 1946 election over 90% of the Muslim populace voted for the Muslim League supporting its demand to create an Islamic state in India by the name of Pakistan, but when Jinnah created Pakistan he left a sizeable population in India and refused to accept them as their own citizens. Yet a few million managed to make the journey to their promised pure land only to be branded as second grade Urdu speaking Mohajirs. The city of Karachi was systematically underinvested in and discriminated against and left to rot as its capital status was snatched in favor of the Hindko-Punjabi majority city of Islamabad only because of its status as a Mohajir majority city. The plight of the Mohajir community is all the more poignant since Pakistan was enabled financially in its first few years because the mercantile Muslim communities like the Memons, the Khojas and the Ismailis, who were willing to give up their income to fund the infant Pakistan state machinery yet were rewarded with persecution, oppression and exile. Today, most Mohajirs belonging to the Ismaili and Bohra sects of Islam have been exiled out of their adopted homeland and similar fate awaits those of the other communities.

The demand for a utopian search of purity has been such that even the minority sect of Ahmadiyyas have been branded as non-Muslims by a constitutional amendment no less and are lynched upon and expelled from towns and cities for such non-existent crimes as calling their places of worship masjids. The Ismailis are all but apostates in the eyes of the surrounding society and have been systematically reduced to being a minority in their demographic strongholds in Gilgit-Baltistan, which is only marginally better than the fate of the Hazaras and other Shia communities who are being arrested and branded as Kafirs simply for carrying out their Muharram processions and reciting their Ashura prayers.  The Baloch, despite being Sunni, are being oppressed, exiled and murdered for their reasonable demands for autonomy, preservation of cultural identity, and equality in access to natural resources. The list is simply too long if we talk about Pakistan’s other communities.  

Despite having a cultural and civilization identity of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, their academic curriculum could not discover and educate their posterity about their original identity. They rather tried to make them acquainted with Mughal and Afghan Kings. While Turk, Mughals, Arab and Afghans never accepted Pakistani as of their lineage, the Pakistani continue to beg them for their own identity. Pakistanis changed their name, dress, food habits, as well as their social fabric and rejected their folk lore only to find their acceptance as foot soldiers and cannon fodder in the brutal fratricidal war of the Arabian Desert.  Pakistanis were employed as mere laborers in Middle East on a similar social pedestal like their Bangladeshi Muslim counterparts. 

The political narrative of Pakistan since inception was built upon an anti-India rhetoric hovering around Kashmir. In order to gain religious legitimacy in the Islamic world, they have upped their ante on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and have successfully brainwashed themselves into believing that any failure of Pakistan is a product of an international conspiracy of the Yahood (Jews) and the Hanood (Hindus). The Middle East’s refusal to acknowledge let alone support the Kashmir bogeyman has eroded this political chicanery.  The abortive attempt of intellectualizing letter “K” in the word Pakistan with Kashmir has eroded the Mohammed Ali Jinnah’s credentials. Citizen are only slowly realizing now the fake narrative of their political masters. A nation that survives on the donation of the Middle East finds no words to defend its political position before an uneducated illiterate citizen today.

With the arrival of Covid-19, oil-dependent economies find themselves in dire straits. The Middle East has forgotten its servile attendant’s needs. Saudi’s demand for returning over $ 6.2 billion has left Pakistan in an existential crisis. A modern nation’s survival depends on two primary pillars: – Food security and energy security. Today Pakistan has slipped below the threshold on both basic parameters.  

How long Pakistan will survive as nation on the world map is in the hand of ethnic minorities of Baluchistan, Sindh, Pakhtunistan and Gilgit-Baltistan. It is in the interest of world peace that the incomplete division of Pakistan with Bangladesh be completed among all its ethnic groups under the leadership of UNO to give the matter a peaceful rest.

UPSC aspirants; be Dharmic, slash hegemony!

UPSC aspirants; be Dharmic, slash hegemony!

The ‘class’ of UPSC is unconquered by any examination of the present Indian Nation. It is, according to me, by far, the best exam to filter out real scholars from a confused lot. Still, the study of this exam is largely influenced by Marxists, post-colonial studies, subaltern studies and post-modernism. These schools of thought have completely eulogised the foreign invasions, be it physical, political, religious or ideological, while at the same time, creating a disdain for Hinduism and India’s cultural ethos. This is contrary to the fact that Hinduism finds no mentions in the elite class discourses but rather is neglected as communalism. Neither the Hindu school of thought is much adhered to, nor is it currently even being recognised by the establishment of this “secular state”, India currently is. Instead it is being vilified and continuously objected to in the power circles.

The secular state is bent on eradicating and dismantling the foundations of the Hindu society, by

  1. Giving free hand to the Abrahamic missionaries to ‘liberate India from its Hinduism’.
  2. Holding Temples and their wealth and, levying tax on them and at the same time giving salaries to priests of the Churches and Moulvis of the Madarsas.
  3. Myopic on taking on the left liberals and Abrahamics who are demeaning and Breaking India.
  4. Having no clarity for the necessities of Indic Cultural Nationalism in the present times, but vilifying it for their personal agenda.

These agendas of Left-Abrahamic have been covertly amplified in the previous years, in the establishment, because of the studies pertaining to it. The studies are deeply inspired from Western Universities and basically from Western Universalism which tries to encompass Western thought as universally applicable. The scholars and basically the Indian Scholars who may or may not have experienced the ongoing discriminations in the current Hindu society (due to caste prejudice and others), are deeply influenced by the Western Social thought they study, and with it carry a certificate of elitism to show off to the Indian diaspora. The Indians, (due to the colonial effect) are highly influenced by these ‘Western Intellectuals’ and give them space in the Indian podiums for discussion. Though as argued by Sri Rajiv Malhotra, this ‘class’ is nothing but just a ‘sepoy class’ (Indian soldiers, in colonial times, who used to work for the Britishers and saw themselves as elite)

The literature published by the ‘sepoys’ generally conceive Indian society (Hindu society to be precise) in a problematic way. This kind of literature later forms part of the popular culture, not only because they invest hugely to remain in the academic circles and to mass publicise their opinions, but also because the ‘secular state’ fails to recognise their true motives. The kind of seed (of literature) they sow, is then taken care and and harvested by political parties for their vote banks resulting in complete de-establishment of a state. (For example, these stupid and illogical moulding of facts, has actually led to civil wars in countries like Sri Lanka and Rwanda and has also helped in flaming the so called ‘revolution’ to destroy the monarchy of Nepal, resulting in the destruction of the only Hindu state, step by step.

Cultural Nationalism is the only step forward to unite India and solve its present problems in order to lead the world. It is not only because of the ‘bundle of sticks being unbreakable’, but because the philosophies of Vedanta and Upanishads form the basis of Indic view which carries the power to eradicate clashes and disputes while giving the knowledge of peaceful coexistence. It sincerely and happily deviates from Marx point of view which is myopic in the sense, that clash and violent revolution is the solution to everything.

Hence the idea of study for UPSC should be changed and the Dharmic school of thought must be invoked in order to understand the Indian cultural society and its denigrations over time. This Dharmic view for the Indian society should also be respected and not looked down upon. The histories written by Thapars and Habibs have been highly influenced by the Western thought and have a serious disdain for Hindus, meanwhile eulogising Mughals who were the actual colonizers. The other subjects of social sciences such as Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, Philosophy, Political sciences have their source in Western studies and the denigrations of all that is Hindu (Hinduphobia) is more or less, instilled in the honest minds of sincere students, weakening their connect with Hinduism et al. The UPSC aspirants should in fact think about how a particular subject has influenced the cultural view of India and can we really present a counter on this view with facts. When the other side is being read and written in the papers, this shall give a completely different view to the exam checkers and shall hit them where it hurts the most.

I am of the firm opinion that the Hindu renaissance is on its way and will lead to overall good for India. The intellectual Kshatriyas are studying, doing purvapakshas and in coming years will form part of the current establishment, eventually leading it. But for the highest goal to be achieved, we need a sincere study about our own fields of thought, for example Savarkar, Deel Dayal Upadhyay, Sita Ram Goel and RC Majumdar are some names whose literature can inspire their own schools of thought. They need to be read, the counter arguments need to be presented to the current academic ecosystem whose hegemony is being witnessed in our academia. Until and unless we study the ‘other face’ we won’t be able to achieve what we call as Hindu Cultural Nationalism, and the current establishment, if goes unchecked will lead to another partition some day or the other.

Thank you

AltNews as ‘Fake News buster’? Lies and fake news of Pratik Sinha of AltNews exposed

In light of a case against co-founder of ‘Alt News’, Mohammad Zubair, it is necessary to understand the reality of Alt News’ major individual Pratik Sinha and his father the late Mukul Sinha.

Firstpost.com is a website which seemed to have more credibility than people like the late Mukul Sinha and Pratik Sinha. On 25 September 2017, it announced joining hands with Pratik Sinha’s AltNews to ‘curb the menace of fake news’. This of course, would assume that Pratik Sinha is a ‘Fake News’ buster. In reality of course, Pratik Sinha is one of the biggest of the fake news spreaders himself. In this piece, we will see some of his outrageous lies of the past. This does not mean that every claim of AltNews is wrong, or that Pratik Sinha has not correctly pointed some wrong i.e. fake claims. Few of the exposes of incorrect facts reported by websites like PostcardNews are correct, but that does not hide the lies spread by Pratik Sinha and his father the late Mukul Sinha earlier.

There was a website called ‘TruthofGujarat’ launched by Pratik Sinha and his father the late Mukul Sinha in 2013, who passed away due to lung cancer in May 2014. Its campaign against the BJP and outrageous lies had no negative impact, and the BJP won a full majority in 2014 Lok Sabha elections. After that, in a way, the ‘TruthofGujarat’ name became irrelevant, since the man who they were maligning became Prime Minister of India. The posts of TruthofGujarat revealed it to be a die-hard anti-Narendra Modi, anti-BJP, anti-RSS website (possibly with support of political rivals of the BJP) and it had no credibility, its aim was to forcibly pooh-pooh Narendra Modi and BJP somehow. They then launched a new page called ‘Alt News’.

Pratik Sinha’s father Mukul Sinha was the lawyer of the family of the terrorist Javed Sheikh, who was killed along with Ishrat Jahan who was a terrorist and 2 others who were Pakistani nationals in June 2004, whose bodies have not been claimed by anybody. They are and were so desperately anti- Narendra Modi that they forcibly tried to imply that anything good that may have happened in Gujarat was in spite of Modi and everything negative was because of him! This shows that their agenda is far from ‘reporting the truth’, rather it is to ‘demonize, malign, condemn Narendra Modi and his party’. Sadly for them, in their hate campaign, they have indulged in blatant lies, and false defamation, and also violated many provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), particularly 153-A (needlessly infuriating a community) and 499-500 (Defamation).

1- Mukul Sinha lied: “This extremely shattered man who was also supposed to be the Chief Minister of the State had refused to visit a single relief camp till former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee visited Shah Alam relief camp in Ahmedabad on April 4, 2002 – a full 35 days after the massacre.”

Factory of lies by the terrorists’ lawyer Mukul Sinha and his son Pratik Sinha continued!

Truth is that the major riots began on 28 Feb and ended in 3 days on 2nd March 2002 (after that stray violence in isolated pockets restarted around mid-March). No violence was reported on 3rd March. According to The Hindu of 7th March 2002, Narendra Modi visited relief camps on 6 March 2002. Its report (paragraph 6):

“Mr. Modi visited relief camps housing the minorities and instructed the officials concerned to ensure supply of essential commodities. Doctors visited the camps to treat the injured for the first time today since the beginning of the violence. Some 30,000 people are being sheltered in 18 relief camps.”

Besides, India Today weekly dated 18 March 2002 which covered events till 7 March 2002 also reported: “Modi’s visit to a camp where displaced Hindus were lodged drew an enthusiastic response” (before 7 March). This shows that Modi visited relief camps housing Hindus also, before 7 March 2002.

The Times of India also reported the next day that Narendra Modi visited relief camps on 6 March 2002. 

The report of the SIT appointed and monitored by the Supreme Court said on page 261 that though Modi was very busy handling the riots, he visited relief camps with L K Advani on 3rd March 2002 (the very next day after the major violence ended on 2nd March) as well as independently on 5th and 6th March 2002.

On twitter we informed TruthofGujarat that Modi visited the camps much before 4 April, on 5 and 6 March itself at least and showed them the reports of The Times of India and The Hindu. What did ‘TruthofGujarat’ say? They said: “How can you know that your source is correct and our source is not correct?”

Dishonesty to the maximum limits! The news report given immediately the next day by extremely anti-Modi, anti-BJP newspapers like The Times of India and The Hindu on the fact of Modi’s visit to relief camps on 6 March cannot be wrong. It is absolutely impossible that die-hard anti-BJP newspapers like The Hindu and The Times of India would wrongly say so. Die-hard anti-RSS fortnightly Frontline gave a passing comment on describing the visit of Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 4 April that “This was the first time that Modi visited a relief camp”. This report of Frontline was long after Modi’s visits of 5 and 6 March and Frontline has no credibility as far as anti-BJP reporting is concerned.

Any person with an iota of intellectual honesty would know that Modi visited relief camps at least on 6 March 2002 seeing the reports of The Times of India and The Hindu the next day. We also have independent SIT verification that Modi visited camps on 3rd, 5th and 6th March 2002 itself. But TruthofGujarat refused to budge and continued its lies, saying “Our source is Frontline”.

This shows that TruthofGujarat’s Pratik Sinha does not bother for the truth, his aim is to forcibly demonize Narendra Modi. How dishonest they are can be seen from this episode clearly.

This nails the outrageous, inflammatory, and defamatory lies of ‘TruthofGujarat’. Frontline is a known die-hard anti-RSS, anti-BJP and anti-Sangh Parivar fortnightly with staunch Leftist leanings. It is a publication of The Hindu group itself. It did not even see its own Group’s leading paper’s report The Hindu on 7 March 2002 to know that Modi visited on 6 March, or maybe it did and yet it lied so as to malign Modi. In its desperation to malign Modi, TruthofGujarat of Pratik Sinha only exposed itself, its own lies and Frontline fortnightly!And now claims to be a ‘Fake news buster’!

http://truthofgujarat-lies.blogspot.in/2014/02/truthofgujarat-liarsofgujarat-lie-that.html

Some more of the misdeeds of TruthofGujarat and more particularly, Pratik Sinha have been nailed by us here.

2- Our website www.gujaratriots.com nailed the lies of most of the media on the 2002 riots- Godhra and after. The fact that even after Godhra, Muslims were also on the offensive and the riots were not one-sided was exposed brutally. Several myths and false stories about the riots, about Narendra Modi and the Gujarat Government were exposed brutally, such as the outrageous lie that a pregnant woman’s womb was ripped open and foetus taken out, or that ‘2000 Muslims were killed in the riots‘ whereas the UPA Government gave figures of 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus, or that ‘The 2002 riots were the ”worst ever riots” in India or that Narendra Modi said ‘Every action has equal and opposite reaction’. Pratik Sinha and Mukul Sinha, unable to refute our website’s content on merit, lied that our website www.gujaratriots.com ‘Justifies 2002 riots.’

http://truthofgujarat-lies.blogspot.in/2014/02/truthofgujarat-lies-that.html

This lie has been tweeted quite often by opponents of Narendra Modi, including top people like Asauddin Owaisi (MIM chief), Sanjay Jha (Congress Party spokesman).

In response to this, it has been asked: “Please pin-point where on the site does www.gujaratriots.com ‘justify’ riots when the riots are condemned in Myth 1?” No answer has been given. Those who allege that the site ‘justifies’ the 2002 riots either lack basic English comprehension skills or are lying. In case of people like Mukul and Pratik Sinha, it is absolutely impossible that they lack comprehension skills.

In Myth 1 gujaratriots.com says: “The death of a single innocent person, whether Hindu or Muslim or belonging to any other religion, is highly unfortunate and cannot be justified. That more than 1,000 people were killed is highly unfortunate and reprehensible. But that cannot a justification to exaggerate and inflate the number of people killed to 2,000 or any higher figure.”

Just to clarify things, in case of anyone lacking comprehension skills, “Justifying Gujarat riots” would mean saying that “The riots that occurred, the killings (of both Hindus and Muslims), injuries, violence was justified and correct”- whereas we say that not a single innocent person should be killed or injured and no violence should be caused. Despite this clarity, Mukul Sinha and Pratik Sinha have lied that we ‘Justify’ the riots, thereby defaming us.

The reality is that www.gujaratriots.com is a site with very solid, comprehensive sources, original links to most of the reports quoted, and most of the sources are from staunch anti-BJP, and anti-Narendra Modi newspapers of those days. As they are rattled by such a site, they resort to dirty tricks and ugly defamation by claiming that the site ‘justifies’ the riots. What a disgusting way to delude people!

3- Pratik Sinha and Mukul Sinha also lied that ‘Narendra Modi runs www.gujaratriots.com through his IT team’. In truth, Narendra Modi has absolutely nothing to do with that website. It was made and written by us. This lie has been refuted here http://truthofgujarat-lies.blogspot.in/2014/02/truthofgujarat-lawyers-of-terrorists.html

4-TruthofGujarat and Mukul Sinha tried their best to let the barbaric killers of Godhra go-scot free. They tried to and try to say that the Godhra carnage was not done by any mob at all despite there being a judicial confession by a Muslim accused in February 2003 that Godhra was a planned act, and he had himself taken part in it, though he retracted his confession later. Confessions made before a judge in court are admissible as evidence, though not those made to police.

Mukul Sinha said, “It is nonsense to say that Godhra was a planned act or a conspiracy. It was an accident, which was wrongly termed as the ‘most horrendous diabolical incident’.”

After his presentation in August 2004, some listeners wanted Sinha to clarify if his contention also meant that neither Muslims nor Hindus planned Godhra. Sinha quipped, “The Vishwa Hindu Parishad didn’t burn S-6 compartment in Godhra, but they did burn the country thereafter!”

Their website TruthofGujarat.com kept denying that Godhra was done by Muslims (even after the conviction of 31 Muslims in February 2011 by the trial court which proves their guilt) and claimed it was an ‘accident’ without explaining the burning rags and why the passengers did not run out of the train and save their lives, if the fire was accidental. This man Mukul Sinha was given full opportunity to present his case to the Nanavati Commission. Everyone- the SIT appointed by the Supreme Court (which did the Godhra investigation and prosecution also, like in some other selected cases), the Nanavati Commission and the trial court said that not only was Godhra an act of terrorism done by a Muslim mob, it was also pre-planned.  Of course, the train burning in Godhra was done by an armed mob of fanatic Muslims in the densely Muslim-populated area of Signal Falia, who roasted to coal 59 women and children (including BABIES and TODDLERS) and old and men in the most dastardly manner. There are more than 50 eyewitnesses who saw this, like 16-year old Gayatri Panchal who was in shock for quite a while after Godhra.

http://truthofgujarat-lies.blogspot.in/2014/02/truthofgujarat-and-mukul-sinha.html

6- Mukul Sinha lied that the 2002 riots were a ‘genocide’ while they were ‘riots’.

Actually what else can one expect from lawyers of terrorists’ families? It is not that families of suspected or actual terrorists do not have a right to appoint lawyers. But to see eminent people wholly defending terrorists despite knowing fully well that they were terrorists indeed, and trying to frame innocent people, waging war on the nation’s Intelligence officials is disgusting.

Right since 2002- Mukul Sinha always called the 2002 riots as ‘genocide’. Here in  June 2002 he said: “Please don’t say this was a riot. It was a genocide, pure and simple”.

Sadly for Mukul Sinha, it was exactly the opposite. Please don’t say this was genocide. It was a riot, pure and simple. By lying Mukul Sinha has violated 153-A (needless infuriating a community) and 499-500 of IPC (defamation). But the terrorists’ lawyer will always whitewash Muslim acts of murder. If he could go to the extent of denying the basic fact that a mob of fanatic Muslims, barbaric killers, roasted to death 59 innocents, including 25 women and 15 children in Godhra, then he will certainly lie and hide the fact that even after Godhra, Muslims were equally on the offensive and attacked and killed hundreds of Hindus and made 40,000 Hindus homeless and move to refugee camps in Gujarat.

The story of Muslims attacking and killing Hindus in Gujarat under Narendra Modi’s rule even after Godhra can be clearly understood by reading this.

http://www.gujaratriots.com/index.php/2008/08/attacks-on-hindus/

The Hindu reported on 2nd  March, 2002:  “But unlike Thursday (i.e. 28th  February) when one community was entirely at the receiving end, the minority backlash (on 1st   March) caused further worsening of the situation. Police presence had little impact on the two communities pelting stones at each other in Bapunagar, Gomtipur, Dariapur, Shahpur, Naroda (Muslim concentrated areas) and other areas from where incidents of firing had been reported. But there were no reports of casualty.  Pitched battle was continuing between the two communities late in the evening. The official sources said timely arrival of the police foiled a retaliatory attempt to break into a prominent temple in Jamalpur locality in the walled city.”

This lie’s truth can be seen here http://truthofgujarat-lies.blogspot.in/2014/02/truthofgujarat-lies-about-2002-riots.html

7- TruthofGujarat lied on the issue of ‘Snoopgate’, named the woman in that Snoopgate episode by her real name, and indulged in massive lies and defamation of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah by accusing them of ‘stalking and snooping on the woman architect’. In reality of course, it was not ‘surveillance but security’ which was asked for by the woman, against the antics of one of the Sharma brothers, who was a known Modi opponent and a ‘hero’ of the ‘secular-liberal’ lobby.The woman and her father petitioned in the Gujarat High Court that it was security and not surveillance, and there should be no inquiry in it. Yet, Pratik Sinha and TruthofGujarat did not care to apologize to Narendra Modi for the slander and defamation done by them.8- AltNews also wrote many lies about a twitter user ‘TrueIndology”s posts. The author of that twitter handle nailed AltNews lies here. TrueIndology writes: “One little-known website called “Alt News”, patronised by well known political propagandists, recently spun few posts using my Twitter Timeline, calling it a “goldmine of fictitious historical claims”. Well, since it has invoked my Twitter Timeline to get traffic and ad-revenue, of course, it is a goldmine, indeed, for the post truth peddling Fraud News.” The whole article totally dismantles the lies of AltNews.

The above are just a few (very few) of the dangerous, outrageous, inflammatory and defamatory lies spread by Mukul and Pratik Sinha through ‘TruthofGujarat’ as well as ‘AltNews’. In some forthcoming articles, we will see expose of some more of them. Actually, no one takes AltNews too seriously. But some like Rana Ayub, Saba Naqvi, Sagarika Ghose, NDTV’s Nidhi Razdan seem to praise it. It is necessary to know the truth of these liars of AltNews, and of others who have spread lies on other occasions too! However, some of the claims of AltNews have been correct, and we always feel that anyone while writing should be careful to be correct on facts. Genuine mistakes, if any, should be corrected as soon as possible by all.

Nature, food and adverse effects (Corona)

Nature, food and adverse effects (Corona)

Entire world is witnessing the various forms of disasters/catastrophes owing to nature’s hostility. Latest is Corona, storms, cyclones…Why are we witnessing nature’s conduct this way?

Nature is offering everything for free to every living being in the universe even if we don’t nurture or accomplish something good for our great nature, it is serving generously for all of us.

However, we human beings are not genuinely grateful to mother nature and we are constantly at work to conquer it by any means. We have a notion that with our great intellect and mind, we can overpower everything created by Mother nature.

We have been growing exponentially in diverse segments of our life using science and technology. Nothing wrong in rising materialistically however if it is at the cost of destroying mother nature then consequences are obvious what we are witnessing today. We are neglecting the balancing act. We ought to foster our environment and use it sensibly besides not to exploit it.

Few main causes of environment degradation are:

  1. Deforestation
  2. Animal killing to satisfy the tongue.
  3. Exploitation of natural resources.
  4. Air, Water and soil pollution
  5. Leaving Hindu culture and adopting Westernization.

The study shows that the oxygen consumed by an individual in their lifetime is equal to an average of 17 trees, how many trees are planted by each and every one in their lifetime?

Paper industries are also destroying our forests in a big way, just want to quote one example we get approximately 3000, A4 paper sheets at the cost of one tree.

Greediness of mankind to earn unreasonably from forests also led to deforestation.

Second and foremost reason is killing of millions of animals daily to satisfy the tongue, systematically dodging the truth that it is the most perilous action mankind is performing to ruin the natural world.

Animal requires huge amount of food grains to develop the flesh required for the human beings to eat, the same food grains can help in alleviating poverty and even the inflation can be brought down.

It also badly impacts total environment, soil, water, air is polluted to a large extend resulting in global warming. What type of environment we want to leave for our future generations? Methane gas produced during burping and chirping by animals is almost 20% harmful than carbon dioxide. Huge amount of water is wasted daily to convert animal into meat. Soil pollution is another factor.

We should strive to decrease or complete stoppage of non-vegetarian food for the betterment of our future generations.

The nutrients and vitamin requirements for our body to function normally are available in ample quantity and quality in vegetarian food.

We have been blessed with vast knowledge and cultural practices by our great ancestors and sages to maintain our environment with utmost care and love towards everything in nature. However, we have systematically, purposely and slowly forgotten the knowledge and practices imparted by our ancestors to maintain and use our environment judiciously, just to satisfy our greed. We really need to bring back and implement it in our daily life so as to bring balance in our mother nature.

You may agree or may not agree that current corona crisis that whole world is facing is owing to devastation of nature especially due to bad food habits. Can we seriously think on this issue and positively work on it, at least to safeguard our future generations? The current corona crisis affected the whole world socially, economically, mentally and physically. Is it not a good idea to seriously think on real issues than keeping them aside for our temporary pleasures?

Govt. Mobile App challenge winner Memechat allegedly fire Hinduphobic Social Media Manager

Memechat might be fooling Hindus don’t believe what they say until they post Mr. Akram’s termination letter.

The government has selected nearly 24 companies as winners in nine categories under a first-of-its-kind innovation challenge to promote homegrown applications. These apps under ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge’ were shortlisted from about 7,000 entries by a jury comprising both government as well as industry representatives.

One app among the 24 winners is Memechat this app is a community for people who love watching and sharing memes. The platform also has a Meme social network, Meme Keyboard and Meme maker and free meme templates among other offerings.

As this is a startup app and as anyone would expect being recognised as a winner on national level its employees were thrilled. One such name is Akram Malik, who used to go by @akramismm on twitter and other social media platform. And as expected on the announcement of Memechat being one of the winners he was joyous and shared the same on his various social media accounts.

here is screenshot of his instagram story

Now obviously there is no problem being happy about your and your team’s achievements. But this all started a movement on various social media where people started tagging Memechat app and Mr. Akram Malik in order to expose their hinduphobic bias.

Many netizens also asked GOI and other related twitter handles (including @narendramodi) to look into the apps and their respective ideology before recognising and promoting them.

Akram Malik has been making memes for quite a long time as of now, and quite a lot turn out to be Hinduphobic.

Hinduphobic tweets by Mr. Malik. Bonus includes anti-Modi tweet.

Making Gau Mutra Joke Comparing PUBG’s chicken dinner with FAUG
Comparing a democratically elected Prime Minister with a mass genocider Adlof Hitler.
Asking whether cartoon version of Ramayana will be banned too.

When FAUG game was announced he posted a hypothetical map for it (made by @Socialpidit), that does not attack any religion as such. And just how his excitement regarding the upcoming game. But when a person Kalp who goes by @Giive_Me_Drink retweeted the map post saying Godhra mai (read main) mazze aayenge XDD i.e. Godra will be fun. He replied with laughing emojis. His insensitivity regarding the Godhra train carnage shows his deep rooted hate regarding Hindus and Hinduism both. I on a personal level found this very disturbing and saddening that even the new generation muslim youth has such extremist views and think of Non-Muslims in such manner.

Here is the screenshot of the same.

Memechat allegedly revoked his ‘internship’.

When netizens pointed this out to Memechat which goes by @memechat_app on twitter, they replied that they have revoked internship of one Akram ‘Raja’ Malik. Now the thing is we do not know if they are the same person or not. Secondly Mr. Malik is not an intern but a full time employee at Memechat app, as his linkedIn profile suggests he is a Social Media Manager at Memechat. So either the information provided by him is incorrect or Memechat app is lying or this Akram ‘Raja’ Malik is totally a different person. Some twitter users are also suggesting that its his app too i.e. he has contributed to it as well as in he is one of the founding members. But there is no proof regarding this claim on the official page and neither it is reported by any news portal that he is one o the founding members.

If he really is a full time employee as his linkedIn suggests than it is quite possible that the tweet regarding about ‘revoking the internship’ was made by him only as he is Social Media Manager of the company. This may be a move just to fool Hindus. Also if his ‘internship’ has already been ‘revoked’ then why did he delete his twitter account now. On a personal level I think Memechat and Mr. Malik are just trying to fool Hindus.

So unless Memechat posts his termination letter one should not believe in what they say.

Memechat regarding the ongoing controversy
His Linkedin profile suggesting otherwise

Mr. Malik deactivates his account.

He has deleted his account probably because of the same reason.

In past Mr. Malik has also taken part in anti CAA protests which turned into riots engulfing Delhi. He protested with memes hereby I am attaching some of the pictures.

Ekdum se Zindagi badal di meme.
With friends
Another one.

Seeing the new generation Muslim youth enacting in such manner is really saddening. And I wish that Mr. Malik ponder over his action as a person like him who had quite a reach on social media (on twitter before deleting his account he had 12.1K followers) should not be so careless and should not make such inflammatory and derogatory post regarding other religions.

His twitter account before he deleted it.

Presence of Hinduphobic memes on Memechat

Other than this issue there is a strong presence of Hinuphobic memes om the Memechat app. The app has more than half a million users as reposted by yourstory here. And for obvious reasons they must have moderators who have a sole duty to keep an eye on the material being post, and if there are no moderators I would suggest that they really need one. And if there are then they should wake up from their slumber and look into the content being posted on the app.

Here I am adding some memes that are not only abusive toward Hinduism but also objectify Mother India and women. Some of these memes are graphic and dark viewer discretion is advised. As bonus I have included a anti-BJP meme too, that is not only anti-BJP but also targets the respect that an Indian holds for Mother India.

Gau Mutra jibes as usual this was posted on official Meme chat app’s instagram page.
Comparing Shiva Lingam with dildos (sex toys)
Generalising Delhi men to be rapist – Epitome of Misandry
Comparing Draupadi Vivah with a porn – Objectifying women plus demeaning Hinduism
Objectifying Mother India and this ‘meme’ is so offensive that i don’t even have words for it

At the end I would advise all Hindus to not fall to this trap not only the Memechat app need to post his termination letter but also need to ensure the removal of derogatory and inflammatory Hinduphobic material fro their app.

Communism: The opium of the mass murderers

When you think of barbaric acts against humanity which has shamed the entire human race, what examples come to your mind or to be precise, what have been fed to your mind? Nazis; off course Nazis. Because what Nazis did was documented, filmed and photographed. You were reminded again and again that Nazis were blot on the humanity. Indeed, they were. They tortured millions of Jews, starved them in concentration camps, gassed them to suffocating deaths. Just think of any inhumane acts and Nazis committed. Such horrible souls they were.

But what about Communism? A sugarcoated ideology which killed millions of people across the globe: From Moscow to Stalingrad, Beijing to Tibet to Xinjiang, Pyongyang to killing fields of Cambodia, Tripura to Bengal to Kerala and so on. A gory and lurid tales of blood curdling crimes committed against the humanity, all in the name of lofty ideals of Communism: Equality.

Do you find the same outrage against Communists who did exactly the same what Nazis did? You would have definitely heard about Concentration camps but do you know about Gulags. Do you know why? Because History is written and shaped by the victors. Communists are glorified Nazis who wrote their own history.

Communists claim to fight for the oppressed and trampled, talks of emancipation, equality, better society; but once seated to power, complete submission to the communist regime is what they impose and oppress with even much barbarity and cruelty. Communism is an ideology where you exist only to support the ideology, else you are doomed. No one dare say a word against the communism; else he/she may not see the day.

In communist countries, criticism of communist ideology is the biggest crime, far worse than blasphemy in the theocratic nations of the middle east. For communists, ideology is even beyond nation. That’s why in China, it is not the Chinese Army but Peoples Liberation Army whose loyalties rest with the Communist Party of China. The primary task of the PLA is not to safeguard China but the communist ideology. This is how typical communists operate.

Do you know whom Communists are afraid of? Communists are afraid of the same people whom they promise to liberate? Communists don’t want people to speak up, to express themselves, to be free. Communists allows your freedom of speech only if you are a communist propagandist and toe the ideology; else tanks are waiting in the square. Complete freedom of expression they say.

Communist heroes are those who were absolute dictators. Be it Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot or Castro. All of them believed in violence with impunity; killing millions. That hooked sickle which reminds of the cursed hooked cross, signifies bloodlust which paints the communist flag red.

And these communists glorify all these mass murderers. It is the sub-conscious display of the mindset which every communist carry within: of violence, bloodshed and dictatorship. That’s why you will find that wherever communists rule; violence, political killing, bloodshed is an absolute norm.

I have just one question from all those who believe in Communism, promote Communism but are living in democratic countries. Do you support democracy or Communism? Their wishy-washy responses will tell you the truth. In a democratic country, communists enjoy every freedom which communist don’t give in a communist country. One can be a communist in democracy but one can’t be democratic in communist regime. The moment you understand this subtle difference between communism and democracy, you would be a liberated soul. Yet, some brainwashed souls like Bhaskar and Krishnan, despise democracy and love communism.

One unique thing which I would like to highlight about Indian communists. Communist parties have been in India for almost 100 years now but still their heroes are imported. If you ask these leftists who your heroes are; you will find them talking about Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Castro etc. God knows why they leave Kim un Jong and Pol Pot in endorsing. There is not even one local communist hero. You attend any communist ideological conferences; Marx, Lenin or Stalin would adore the wall. An ideology who could not produce even a single Indian leader to follow and who still import ideologies promise to liberate India. At first, every communist need to get themselves liberated from what can be called as mental colonization. And these bunch of mentally colonized communist thugs who thrive on imported ideologies and imported leaders seek to talk about India. What an irony!

Communists say that religion is the opium of masses. They talk big of shunning religion because it is the root cause of all ills pervading in the society. But two prominent communists who were atheists as well – Stalin and Mao; killed almost 100 million people in their lifetime. And what was the fault of those innocent souls who got butchered at the hands of emancipating communists; they did not like the ideas of communism. In democratic countries, masses are free to be religious or atheist. But in a communist country, you can shun religion but not the communist ideology. That’s why I say:

Communism is the strongest opium: the opium of the mass murderers; which despots across the communist world sniff to snuff out humanity, and get high on the stench emanating out of rotten dead bodies.
