Jihad Is Coming To India


Richard Benkin is worried about India becoming an Islamist country. He is scared of a country of this size going the Pakistani route. Now you would ask – who is Benkin and what is his problem? Benkin is a conservative columnist from the USA and he is worried about a possible impact of spread of Islamism on his country. But instead of asking about Benkin, the more important question is- why aren’t we worried about it?
A brainwashed Indian population leads an ostrich like existence and ignores to see the looming perils, the kind which will destroy India, as we know it. Indians who raise their voices against are declared ignorant communalists or saffron terrorists. Therefore it is up to an outsider like Benkin to show us the obvious. It seems that Benkin has the requisite credibility because in his own words: “I have spent several years along India's 2545 mile-long frontier with Bangladesh, and have seen the impact Bangladesh's radicalization has had on its giant neighbor to the west”.
In fact he has seen more of the problem that most of us. What he writes is not a revelation to a well-read person but more of a refresher. The abysmal status of Hindus in Pakistan is not a surprise or news to anyone. It was expected that the more cultured Bangladeshis who have a lot more in common with their Hindu brethren (in the way of culture) would treat them better. We seem to have either been misled or over-read into platitudes from the Awami League government about the “steps” taken to protect Hindus. Armed with a double barrel shotgun of Saudi money and Pakistani jihadism and direct help from the Indian communists, Islamist forces have essentially changed the population composition of West Bengal. In words of Benkin:
"During the second half of the 20th century, the Muslim proportion of West Bengal's population rose by 25 percent and its Hindu population declined by nine, a process that has continued into the 21st. At the same time, Bangladesh's Hindu population dropped from almost a third to nine percent".
Of course the population decline of Hindus in Bangladesh has been due to the usual brutal and inhuman ways, the ways one would expect jihadists to treat a religious minority.
Trouble is that no Indian government has done anything to protect Hindus in Bangladesh including the BJP. Of course one could make a convincing case of hapless Hindus in India! Instead of becoming a land of victimized Hindus the world over (like Israel is for Jews), India has become a land of extreme secular values. Of course the term secular in Indian vernacular means something that goes against the definition of the term.
Of course, what bothers Benkin is the spillover effect of Jihadism on India and the abject lack of response to it. Hindus are being victimized in Muslim dominated areas as was seen in Deganga in WB and western UP, an area under the control of the secularist champion, Mulayam Yadav. Benkin writes: "In Meerut northeast of New Delhi and far from Deganga, the population of this once Hindu-dominated town is now split down the middle between Hindus and Muslims; and the Hindus are living in fear. Just five days ago before my arrival, a Hindu was burned to death and shortly before that a community leader was targeted and killed. These actions are becoming more common in this substantial-sized town with no police re-action; and according to residents and activists, it is only a matter of time before things explode".
The jihadist mentality which is being nurtured in UP has caused it to become a big source of manpower for the now banned SIMI. An article by Vicky Nanjappa in rediff says the following: Sources in the Intelligence Bureau point out that some crucial operatives from the Lucknow and Azamgarh regions in Uttar Pradesh have moved to south India and are looking to re-group there. The IB sources believe the Indian Mujahideen , the home-grown terror outfit, could merge its cadres with SIMI. IB sources believe Iqbal Bhatkal, Asadullah Akthar, Abdul Kareem, Karman, Akthar Kareem Amil Parwai, Alla Baksh, Sageer, Mohamad Sadiq, Irshad Khan, Sadiq Anwar and Hafiz Asif are among the individuals who could play a vital role in the regrouping of SIMI-IM cadres.
Recently, a bomb factory in Kerala killed a few bomb makers. Thankfully, the names of the dead preclude the involvement of saffron terrorists. As per a Express Buzz news published on 27th February 2011, "Three persons died and eight others injured in a bomb explosion that occurred at Narikkattery, near Nadapuram, Kerala on Saturday. The deceased are Riyaz, Shameer and Rafiq." Those killed were identified as Popular Front (Muslim League) activists from Nadapuram area.
Of course you don’t have to be a conservative nationalist to realize that none of this bodes well for the nation. More than the jihadists, it will be our inaction and impotence, which will kill us and the nation as we know it. If the reports are to be believed, a pro-Islamist communist government in WB is going to be replaced by a pro-Maoist pseudo secular combine of Trinamul and the regular Congress. From a national point of view, it will not make any difference. It is up to the voters of West Bengal to dig deep and rethink their anti-conservative prejudices and look towards the ideals of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee rather than the anti Indian politicians they have supported for decades. That is the only way they can help restore the culture, safety, economic prosperity and everything that was great in their state. I have the same suggestion to all the voters in India. Evaluate and analyze and see which party can provide us with roti, kapda, makan and suraksha and then cast your vote. Do not vote on caste or petty regional issues. Let your vote count for the sake of the land that nurtures you. That is the least we can all do for her.
Jihad Has Come to India

By Richard L. Benkin
Our State Department will tell you that there is no jihad in India. They will hew the official line that the liberal Awami League government in Bangladesh has put an end to anti-Hindu actions there. A similarly weak government in New Delhi will parrot the same platitudes. Yet, their false palliatives bring no comfort to the scores of victims who have told us their stories; or the many others now unable to do so.

  1. Hindus, all over the world, unite. You have nothing to lose, except you pseudo secular image.
    The only solution to demographically brow beating by the two giant religions of this world is adopting their tactics. Hindus make all out effort, Hindu establishments send missionaries all over the world to propagate Hinduism and convert to Hinduism
