10 SHADES OF INDIAN SECULARISM

*1 ) In India, with 80% Hindu population, and the only homeland of Hindus
in the world, the birthdays of great sons of the soil, Shri Ram and Shri
Krishna, are not compulsory central government holidays, while the
birthday of Saudi Arabia born So called Prophet -Mohammad and both
the birth and crucification day of Bethlehem born Jesus, are
compulsory holidays throughout India. This seems in sync with the secular
hypothesis that Ram and Krishna are imaginary comic characters while
Mohammad and Jesus are actual historical characters. There are only 2 Hindu
holidays out of compulsory 14, in contrast with 4 Muslim ones.*****

2) The Constitution of India enables the government to take control of
Hindu temples and trusts and appoint its nominees in their controlling body
and even control its funds. The government doesn't have this privilege for
the mosques or churches. The government cannot interfere in the functioning
of the mosques, madarsas and any minority institutions even if they receive
government aid, which is taxpayers' money. The minority institutions are
not bound to comply with the Right to Education act either. This can be
seen as a lighter version of Pakistan and Bangladesh&# 39;s enemy property laws
which enable their governments to confiscate the propeties of Hindus by
declaring them enemy properties.

*3) Everyone knows that India doesn't have uniform civil code. Indian
muslim males are legally allowed to have up to 4 wives at a time, and can
divorce them by saying 'Talaaq&# 39; thrice, in compliance with Sharia. Hindus
and Christians have to follow proper court procedures to file for divorce.
The women right activists who organise 'slut-walks&# 39; to celebrate their
'rights&# 39; and advocate girls visiting pubs, do not speak on this matter.
Shah Bano case stands as a glaring example of how secularism is a
constitutionally prescribed drug meant only for Hindus, not for minorities.*

****

4) Prayagraj, one of the holiest pilgrimages of Hindus, is called
Allah-abad. Kashi, Ayodhya and Mathura, each of these 3 holy sites has been
desecrated and yet not fully restored. The signboards of Auragzeb road in
Delhi stand as the testimony to India's slavery that Indian secularism
celebrates so profusely. In 2007, over 1 lakh Indian muslims paid homage to
Aurangzeb' s tomb on his 300th anniversary, that's when Aurangzeb is known
to be the perpetrator of the largest Hindu genocide ever. Aurangzeb had
even got Guru Teg Bahadur beheaded in his court for his refusal to convert
to Islam.

****

*5) An instance of Indian secularism is the 1978 directive to NCERT which
instructs it to erase all medieval history which paints a picture of clash
between native Hindus and invading muslims in that era. Consequently, we
have a chapter each from Akbar to Aurangzeb, but Shivaji and Maharana
Pratap are squeezed into a paragraph each in history books. Despite all the
evidence to the contrary, discredited Aryan Invasion Theory is still taught
in Indian schools. The history books do not cover the Mahabharata despite a
plethora of archaeological evidence available to conclusively establish its
historicity. *****

6) The Archealogical Survey of India in its annual report of 1924-25
published a long list of Hindu temples demolished during Islamic rule. Sita
Ram Goel, Arun Shourie and others have published a book after conducting
research and they've given a 64 page long district-wise list of Islamic
monuments which were constructed by demolishing Hindu temples. This list,
in the book, "Hindu temples - what happened to them", includes around 2000+
temples and gives in most cases,
the year of construction of those structures also. Even in
Kashmir, hundreds of temples, small and large have been desecrated over
during the exodus of Hindus in early 90s. The same, however, is a non-issue
in larger secular polity. It's continued unabted in whichever time orspace,
Hindus have become weak.****

7) From Ram Mandir to Ram Setu and to Bhagwad Geeta, all have been
dragged into Indian courts. India is the only country in the world where
the faith of 100 Crore people is humiliated. It'd be silly to look for
parallels where in a Muslim majority country, Quran or the prophet, or in a
Christian majority country, Bible or the Christ, could be dragged into a
court of law. In India, the central government filed an affidavit in the
Supreme Court suggesting that Ram never existed. In the same country,
Christian missionaries openly preach about Hindus' false and
'characterless& #39; gods, and so do Islamic missionaries like Zakir Naik, but
the tag of 'hate-monger&# 39; has been attributed to Hindu right wing by secular
luminaries in media and otherwise.** ***

8) There are numerous government schemes which are run exclusively for
the benefit of minorities at the expense of taxpayer money, despite an
apparent prohibition to the same in the constitution. Pashchim Banga
government paying monthly stipend to all the Imams of all the mosques in
the state is a glaring example of this. The same is not extended to Hindu
pujaris. The Haj subsidy, against which the Supreme Court finally ordered,
which had been running since Independence even when no other country, not
even Pakistan offers it, is another example.****

****

*9) The pious Human Right Activists, known for their love for Jihadi
terrorists, those who have been running http://justiceforaf zalguru.org/
justiceforafzalguru .org for years now, have not spoken for the
inhumane treatment meted out to Sadhvi Pragya, and Swami Aseemanand. Their
love for those displaced in Gujarat riots, their sympathy on crores of
Bangladeshi infiltrators and their disgusting silence and aversion on lakhs
of Kashmiri Hindu refugees and Pakistani Hindu refugees is another jewel
of the muddled waters of Indian secularism.* ****

10) The practice of Saraswati Vandana has been discontinued from almost
all government events with the rise of secular fanaticism. The TV
series Chanakya of 90's was asked to remove Saffron flags from it, its
being indispensable to the picturaization of Chanakya' s Akhand Bharat
notwithstanding. Doordarshan&# 39;s 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' had also been
removed before being brought back. Off late, even the practice of lighting
a lamp has been criticised as 'unislamic&# 39;. A litigation was filed in
Gujarat high court for inaugurating a room by breaking a coconut for its
being a Hindu (not Secular). A case was lodged in Chennai High Court to
prohibit the employees celebrating festivals in office space. The beast of
secular fanaticism has gone wilder over the years, and if not us, posterity
will have to bear the brunt of our callous ignorance. *

**We're becoming 2nd class citizens in our own country. The likes
of Digvijay Singh having the gumption of saying that the riots in Assam
were because of 'Hindu infiltrators&# 39;.***** *

*Not one word of protest on the racial riots there, WHY- because it's
a Congress ruled state and NOT a BJP-Modi ruled State.*****
