~ Sudha Dixit

Deficiency of vitamin A is the third cause of blindness in the world. The first two are – politics and religion. We follow religion blindly; even though Hinduism is based on logic. We are too complacent to apply logic and ask pertinent questions. We, happily, remained secular despite the fact that, in our own country, we have, always, been treated as step children. We blindly trusted our politicians in the first flush of independent India. Nehru was our iconic leader– chacha(uncle) to every Indian kid. We never questioned his wrong decisions. Mathai and others wrote about them but we were too mesmerized by his charismatic personality that we dismissed those books as trash or biased. We took all bullshit lying down and were ‘good boys’ till we woke up. A resurgence of till now suppressed Hindu pride took place; and all hell broke loose. Suddenly the ‘good boys’ became ‘intolerant’. The perpetrators of violence and crime painted themselves as victims. Still nobody is calling a spade a spade. Are Hindus too docile or they are scared of being beheaded. It is like the story of nude emperor whom nobody wants to tell that he is naked.

There have been many things which jolted the Hindus out of their slumber. There was love-jihad. There was brutal ousting of Kashmiri pundits from their ancestral homes. There was international news that many non-Muslim countries have become Islamic states due to the majority of Muslims as  immigrants and asylum-seekers in those countries. It was alarming. Hindus tolerated onslaught of the Mughals and the British. They, still, retained their identity as Hindus because of their majority. But, now, with their rate of reproduction, their growing majority, is a cause of concern. Have you seen any Muslim- educated or not- going against Shariyat ? they don’t want birth control (even while multiplying like rabbits). Owaisy has openly said that once they re in majority they will erase all temples and impose Shariyat rule every where. In short they will turn India into an Islamic state.

There is no hope from Congress. Rahul Gandhi is a hybrid(1/3 Parsi, 1/3 Muslim and 1/3 Italian). He has no welfare agenda for public. His sole interest is to oust Modi and grab power. We don’t have any national level leader or statesman. Modi’s ‘Hindutva’ has been exploited by Congress. Operation Kashmir through article 370 was overdue. Any Pakistani could become Indian citizen simply by marrying a kashmiri girl. In POK we don’t have any such provision (or facility) to become Pakistani citizen. Hence removal of article 370 was more than welcome. It boosted Modi’s image, obviously Congress saw red. Coming to NRC and CAA, there is an unnecessary ruckus by the opposition parties and Muslims. The Indian Muslims have nothing to fear. They know it too. Don’t think they are innocent or gullible. The whole agitation is about allowing Muslim refugees into India. Have you, ever, seen these refugees going to  Muslim countries ? they always go to non-Muslim countries. Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries do not accept these refugees. The migration of Muslims to non-Muslim land is done on purpose. The process is called Hijrah. This part of the Islamist Doctrine of ‘world wide conquest’. Most of the time they go to rich countries.

One must understand the psyche of an Islamist from the perspective of Islam. Islam(the so-called religion of peace) teaches that all Muslims in the world are brothers but any non-Muslim anywhere in world(even a neighbour) is a Kafir, who must be hated, converted to Islam or killed. You all must have read or heard the story of a camel in the tent. The camel requested the occupants of the tent to allow him a little space in the tent to warm himself. Gradually he kept inching inside and finally ousted the occupants. This is the intention of Shaheen Bagh protesters. The Congress, the communists and other selfish power hungry politicians support it for their vested interest. They do not understand that if Islamists succeed in their intent, even they will not have their religion, their pride or their power to rely upon. There will be no Democracy and no securalism. Shauq Behraichi once wrote-

Barbaad gulistaan karne ko bas ek hi ullu kafi hai

Har shaakh pe ullu baitha haai, anjam e gulistaan kya hoga

Translation-

Only one owl is enough for the destruction of the garden

What would be happen if there is an owl on every branch
