Muslims of India failed in their cause of converting India into islamic state and that is their greatest regret...
Second Part by: R. Upadhyay
Historically, India has been facing the challenge of Hate-Qafir barbarism from the desert marauders and Arabian imperialists ever since Islamic expeditions into Indian sub-continent.
The episode which started in 712 AD by Mohammad bin Qasim was carried forward by Ghauri, Gajni, Khilji, Tuglaq, Lodi and the Moghuls.
With the advent of British rule in the sub-continent, the desperate Islamist clergy-class who enjoyed power and privilege during Muslim rule revisited the history of the slogan – ‘Islam is in danger’ and ‘I hate you infidel’ raised over a century earlier by Shah Wali Ullah, and others launched Deoband movement with a sole objective to restore the Islamic rule that was lost to the British.
The Muslim feudal class particularly from Arabian lineage on the other hand made a tactical alliance with the British and launched a parallel Aligarh movement led by Sir Sayed Ahmad Khan who propounded the two-nation theory, also a part of hate-Qafir ideology of the Islamist world. Both the movements however, had a common objective to bring back the Islamic glory in the sub-continent and hence they took the Hindu reformist movements like Arya Samaj and foundation of Indian National Congress as a challenge to the domination of Muslims over their former subjects whom they always regarded as culturally and socially impure as well as inferior to them. The alliance of Aligrhians with the British and of Deobandis with the Congress was only a strategy for their long term objective. This hate-Hindu medieval mindset gradually culminated in the creation of Pakistan is unfortunately still continuing today
In a linguistic sense the term Pakistan means a land of pure. It was coined by Rahmat Ali, an Indian student in Cambridge in 1933, when he had launched an aggressive propagation in support of two-nation theory. Mohammad Ali Jinnah picked up this term and demanded a separate state for Muslims. He argued that it was not possible for the ‘pures’ to co-exist with the Hindus. Thus, when a new sovereign state of ‘pure’ was created with hate-Hindu political ideology, synonymous to hate-India, it became a perpetual national policy of Pakistan and remained the primacy of the governing principle of Mullah-Military combine Government.
With an objective to expand Islamist rule in India and revive the institution of Caliphate in South Asia, the successive rulers in Pakistan from Jinnah to Zardari carried forward the legacy of the centuries-old Hate-Infidel buzzword of the Islamist conquests and formulated the national policy of their country against India.
The Islamo-fascist military –mullah controlled rule in Pakistan ever since its birth aggressively campaigned to promote the culture of hate and ethos of inequality on grounds of religious faith against India and deeply ingrained them in the psyche of their people. Accordingly, the school text books were changed with distorted facts of history to create hate against India among the students and youths.
Pakistani rulers misguided their people by preaching India-bashing as pre-requisite to qualify as a patriotic Pakistani. In the name of Pakistan studies, the officially prescribed text books in schools created a culture of Hate-India in the mind of students.
The class 5 book suggested that the Hindus helped the British to overthrow the Muslim rule from the sub-continent. “The British had the objective to take over India and to achieve this, they made Hindus join them and Hindus were very glad to side with the British. After capturing the subcontinent, the British began on the one hand loot of all the things produced in this area, and on the other, in conjunction with Hindus, to greatly suppress the Muslims.”
The Book for Class 8 says: “Their (Muslim saints) teachings dispelled many superstitions of the Hindus and reformed their bad practices. Thereby Hindu religion of the olden times came to an end.”(Islamisation of Pakistan by Y.C.Rosser). Eulogizing Jihad and martyrdom the book urged the students to join the holy war against India. Madrasas in Pakistan on the other hand played a key role in brutalizing the mindset of unemployed or under-employed Pakistani youths with lofty Islamic notion of Jihad and Shahadat (Martyrdom) as real life and predicting the revival of glorious Muslim rule there.
Such hate-India policy had a logical culmination of extreme Islamism in the mind of youths which gave birth to various terror groups in Pakistan and its army used them as strategic assets. They created Taliban for their strategic end in Afghanistan and India which subsequently proved like Indian epic demon Bhasmasur who gained strength from Lord Shiva but latter turned towards his own creator. Though, Lord Shiva trapped the demon and got him killed, Pakistan is still facing the challenge of Taliban which it had created for its strategic interest against India and Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, the western powers particularly America which claims to be the champion of democracy has never been interested in taking a larger view of the danger of hate-Qafir national policy of Pakistan. Without analyzing the medieval mindset of the Mullah-Military rulers of Pakistan the successive US Governments included this Frankenstein monster in their various strategic alliances like NATO, CENTO and SEATO and provided huge military aid, which was mostly used against India.
America never faced any problem of Islamism due to the microscopic strength of Islamic population (0.6%). “The highest, generally-accepted estimate of Muslims (including children) in the United States is 2.35 million (0.6% of the total population)” ( Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia). They could easily tackle the problem of Islamist terrorism in their country following September 11, 2001 as it was free of any home grown sleeper cells of Islamism. Dr. Peter Hammond in his well researched book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat suggests that as long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. Contrary to it when Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions.
The problem with Pakistan is its habitual dependence on foreign aid. In fact the Mullah-Military combine in stead of leading the country in a positive direction and promoting developments have become accustomed to live on the Zakat (Alm) from Saudi Arabia and America and therefore not interested in any development in the country. To justify alms from oil-rich Arab world Pakistani ruling class is spending liberally in hate-Qafir campaign and also amassing huge wealth which they deposit in western countries particularly USA and Europe.
With hate-Hindu national policy, they succeeded in reducing the Hindus from 20 percent to just below two percent.
A section of Pakistani people who have all along since the birth of their country in 1947 been clamouring for friendship with their immediate neighbour but they are not ready to understand the Hindu cleansing policy of their rulers .Are they not aware that the Hindu population of Pakistan which was between 15 to 20 percent crores at the time of partition is now reduced to 1.20 % only? (1998 census conducted by the Government of Pakistan). Even the U.S. State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2002 estimates Hindus at 1.03 millions.
Have they ever tried to look into the Hate-Hindu curriculum in Pakistan studies text books which were introduced by the Mullha-Military alliance and made them compulsory in the schools of their country? Pakistan was created as a separate Islamic state but its on going programmes for propagating Islamist extremism by the ruling class was nothing but to inculcate Jihadi mindset among their people against neighbouring Qafir-majority country.
Against the backdrop of the above discussed Islamist character and hate India policy of Pakistan, when US president Obama in a sideline meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during G20 meet in London on April 2 this year expressed the idea for “more effective dialogue” between India and Pakistan for easing tension, the people of this country failed to understand his musings.
The advisory words of US President may be amusing for all the lovers of peace but had Obama peeped into the history of Hate-India policy of Pakistan ever since its emergence as a separate nation, he would have first asked the latter to transform its national policy first. However, instead of giving such advice to his trusted ally US Congress is debating the approval of billions of dollars of military and civil aid to Pakistan despite the doubtful credibility of the latter’s national policy towards India. Pakistan used a larger portion of the aid it got in past from America against India and there is no guarantee that the Mullah-Military establishment would use the current aid exclusively against Taliban and other terror groups. He must be aware that even the US Commission on International Religious Freedom has branded Pakistan and some other countries as serious violators of religious freedom and has asked the US Government “to formally designate them and subject them to punitive action”. Despite this ground reality Barack Obama seems determined to follow his predecessor in helping Pakistan with billions of military aid which is disastrous to his peace initiative in South Asia.
Unless Pakistan changes its "hate India" national policy, peace in South Asia will remain only a dream.
