Hindus suffering continues in SP ruled Uttar Pradesh

The recent chain of events that have taken place in Muzaffarnagar and other parts of UP indicate disturbing emerging trends in UP's societal landscape. The events clearly highlight that the so-called minority community (muslims) is not so secular in places where it is in majority or where it is even 30-40% of the total population. 

According to an MHA report on communal riots and crime against women, the state of UP witnessed the maximum number of such riots (104) in comparison to other Indian states during 2012. This is an alarming trend, which if not restrained, could result in further escalation of the conflict between Hindus and muslims. Recent events in UP have further increased tensions between Hindus and muslims which highlight the existence of a strong undercurrent. Eve-teasing and rape of Hindu girls have been the root cause for these clashes (which clearly indicates the application of Love Jihad and Rape techniques to bring the Hindu women under muslim control). 

Please find below a brief version of the events that resulted in the escalation of conflicts between Hindus and Muslims:

Some muslim youngsters regularly eve-teased Hindu Jat school girls during their journey to and from schools. When the girls reported this to their family members, their brothers started escorting them to school. However, this did not stop the muslims from passing lewd remarks. The brothers (Gaurav and Sachin) of the girl confronted Sahnawaz Qureshi (one of the offenders); however, as the fight escalated, they killed the offender. 

Meanwhile, other members of muslim community gathered and chased down Gaurav and Sachin and then brutally killed them. This clearly indicates that muslims supported the criminal minded Qureshi and other muslim offenders. Moreover, they were unwilling to cooperate with Hindu Jats in identifying and punishing other culprits. The Hindus also tried to file FIR but their requests were ignored by the police which was under the command of a muslim SSP. 

As a result, the Hindu Jats organized a Mahapanchayat to counter the growing menace of eve-teasing of Hindu girls in muslim dominated areas. At the same time, the muslims devised an ambush strategy to kill more Hindus in order to discourage them from taking any sort of corrective action. The muslims hid in mosques with weapons and other ammunition to ambush Hindu Jats and killed some of the Hindus in their usual cowardly manner. The killings further angered the Hindus and hence began the riots. 

Till the time, Hindus didn't respond, no action was taken but the moment Hindus started retaliating, the SP government took help of CRPF and Army to suppress Hindu anger.

On the other hand, a number of Hindus from muslim dominated villages and towns are being asked to relocate to other locations on the pretext of avoiding riots. Practically, these muslim dominated villages will become 100% muslim and Muzaffarnagar will become 100% Islamized in another 3 to 5 years. 

In such a scenario, what is the guarantee that people of Muzaffarnagar will not demand independence and call all this rioting a freedom struggle.

I am not surprised with the growing aggression of muslims in UP as they seem to have crossed the minimum threshold level of 20% of total population in the state. The following are some of the factors (together) that have contributed to this increasingly aggressive behavior: 

1. Appeasement politics through mindless introduction of pro-muslims policies in order to garner their votes
2. Increasing influence of muslim leaders (who are part of the ruling party) in the state affairs
3. Growing share of muslim population in various parts of UP

While we can attribute the increasing number of riots to failure of state government, the growing confidence of muslims to fight with Hindus can also not be ignored. The increasing number of riots clearly indicate execution of a plan which is an inseparable part of the sub-conscious of every muslim.

In order to understand the natural sub-conscious plan of muslims, we must understand their behavior when they are at different levels of population. This is further explained below:

1. When in Minority (less than 20%): 
1. Play the victim card to gain the sympathy of political heads. 
2. Vote as a group in favor of one leader to ensure that he wins and once he wins, pressurize him to introduce policies favorable to Islam. 
3. Split the votes of majority community (Hindus) to ensure that they do not get a strong voice on a political platform.
4. Use Love Jihad to get Hindu women under their fold.
2. When muslims exceed the minimum threshold of 20% (between 20% and 50%): 
1. Become more vocal about their rights based on Islam. 
2. Initiate aggression and hostility towards other communities such as Hindus, Christians and others. 
3. Demand implementation of Shariah 
4. Adopt techniques such as love jihad, rape and rioting to provoke members of the other religion (in India's case, it is Hindus) and then later on try to show themselves as sufferers in the hands of majority.
5. Blackmail the authorities on the pretext of "Law and Order" issues to avoid justified punishment for their crimes. 
6. As a result, the leader does not take any action which encourages other Muslims to commit similar crimes. 
3. When in Majority (more than 50%) -- (Ethnic Cleansing Phase)
1. Muslims will start implementing their goals more aggressively. 
2. Blackmail political leaders, suppress other communities and implement Shariah in spite of secular governments. 
3. Make life of minorities miserable through kidnap, rape and forced marriages of Hindu females with Muslim males. 
4. Provide all facilities to people of their religion but ignore Hindus, Christians or others. 
5. Ask Hindus to convert to Islam to be able to get better education, roads, infrastructure and finance. 
6. Convert Hindus or murder them to ensure the hegemony of Islam

Currently, muslims are at level 2 in UP; however, they have already initiated suppression of Hindus to gain control of the state. This is primarily because the ruling party (SP) is under strong influence of some muslim leaders (Azam Khan). "Law and Order" is in bad shape and a number of riots have taken place under the leadership of Akhilesh Yadav.  

The immediate rectification of UP situation lies in the imposing President's rule. This is because SP is protecting the aggressors (muslims) and punishing the victims (Hindus). Therefore, SP has lost all the moral right to rule UP due to the increasingly deteriorating "Law and Order" situation as well as Hindus' lack of trust in relation to a fair investigation into these riots.

Rape - An outcome of a Sick Society

Rapes have become a widespread phenomenon in India. Quite often, we hear of rape news from different cities, towns and villages of our country. While the government and administration has certainly failed to provide a safe environment to the citizens, we (as Indian citizens) have also not actively participated in creating a secure and safe environment in the country. Government's attitude is apathetic (no doubt) but we are also more or less in the same league. 

The fact that many passersby did not even act after seeing a girl (lying near a road in unbearable pain), who was brutally raped and thrown out of a moving bus, only indicates the extent of self-centered abyss that we have fallen into. The fact that those on Police duty, on that fateful night, argued with each other regarding the jurisdiction area of the crime only indicates their lack of sense for humanity (leave alone the country). And even after Delhi gang rape, we as a society have created a new low in Mumbai. 

Now (after the Mumbai rape case), a new cycle of protests and outcries had begun. But isn't this simply a reaction of our frustration? And can we really reduce the rape incidents through this reactionary approach? I have pondered over these two questions for a long period of time and the answer that I get is that such protests are not effective instruments to force the government to improve governance. 

Protests can get you limelight but they will not help you in ending the menace of rape. 

Rape is not only demeaning to the victim but it is also demeaning to our culture as it questions the potency of Indians as responsible, active and effective citizens. Rapes highlight our inability to protect our sisters and daughters. The consistency of such events also indicate the existence of a deeper malaise that exists in our society. In order to remove this malaise, we must be aggressive in first preventing rapes but we must also focus on the root cause of this disease. 

Preventing Rapes
For preventing rapes, we must develop an offense mechanism that targets the offender OR prospective offender from four different directions, that is, governmental, legal, administrative and societal. A well planned and coordinated mechanism will leave no scope for the offender. While government, legal and administration will play a very prominent role, the stakeholders (i.e. us, the common people) of the society will need to take the lead in the prevention of any such rape attempt. 

Once, we take the lead we can force the government, legal and administrative systems to adapt according to the changing situations. We can force them to create an environment that minimizes the possibility of rape. 'What we should do and How we should do' is something that I intend to take in another article; however, one thing is absolutely clear that the preventing rape has to start with strong measures that are taken at societal level. 

A crime whose origin is the Society has to end with the help of Society only.

Target the Root Cause 
Once we have established a safe and secure environment for the citizens, then our target will be the root cause of such crimes. It is difficult to identify a single reason responsible for these crimes, therefore, in my viewpoint, a number of negative influences have collaborated to give rise to this evil. This is the principal reason for the spurt in the number of rape incidents. However, I would definitely like to highlight the negative influences that have led to such a situation:

Lack of adequate education for all 
Education is important because it not only improves the knowledge of the people (specifically, the kids) but it also helps them to give shape to their conduct in the society. While getting good marks is relevant in a competitive society, one can not ignore values to stay in competition. In India, kids education has to improve across variety of areas, for example, aptitude identification and development, grades, personality development, and values. While the teachers play a very prominent role, it is the family which is a more fertile ground for value based education. 

Erosion of values (at the family level) during the early stages of a child
Scientific research has proved that a child is most receptive to learning new things during the first five years of his life. While a person learns the entire life, his rate of learning and the ability to grasp new concepts declines as he becomes older. The learning in the formative years primarily comes from the family, therefore, the onus of social conduct of an adult is more with the family. The growing dominance of materialism and fulfillment of desires has resulted in a 'No holds barred' attitude. As a result, every family has become more focused on desire fulfillment which has facilitated the process of giving up the treasure of our values.

Lack of connect with Ancient Indian Culture
India has a rich cultural heritage which has sustained for more than 10,000 years. However, the concepts, philosophies and the beauty of our culture got distorted due to passage of time and our interaction with people from other civilizations. Nonetheless, time has arrived that we revisit our old Indian tradition and reset our living style and habits according to VEDAS and other scriptures. While connecting with our past, we must also inculcate a sense of pride in our identity as Indians. This will help us to become spiritual as well as nationalists. Once we connect with our roots, we will be able to experience a positive change in our mindsets. And this should also help the anti-social elements to become better human beings.  

Perverse and blind adoption of Western culture
Globalization has resulted in the intermingling of different cultures across the world. While globalization has some inherent benefits, it carried some baggage of garbage too. For example, globalization has allowed evils such as Porn, Pubs, Friday Nights, Drugs, Liquor, Gay marriages and Debt-based consumption to flourish in the global marketplace. The prospering of such evils has created an attitude of instant gratification. As India has actively participated in the process of globalization, we have been influenced by these evils too. 

In fact, Indians have been very receptive to the evils of globalization primarily due to a superficial inferiority complex. Such blind worship of Western culture has only shaken our foundations.

Time has come for us to not just ape Western morals in the name of modernism, but to learn from our own past.

Thank You!!
