Congratulations Mrs Brinda Karat. You are the first in history of mankind to have dubbed the entire Hindu community as Fundamentalist. Brinda Karat raises a storm in Rajya Sabha. Not even the Pope or the Imam had the insight to think about it before. It"s a pity that so far there has not been an accolade from the anti-Hindu, pseudo secular, quasi-intelligent ilk, that you represent. Perhaps our Prime Minister will soon render an apology on behalf of the Hindus and consider you for next year"s Bharat Ratna award.
Surely you are ecstatic that a handful of the 80 crore Hindu community have been finally alleged and apprehended for bomb blasts. Unlike the legal and judicial system, you do not need any further evidence to prove them guilty. The mere existence of people who indulge in violence and are Hindu by faith is enough for you to call them "Hindu fundamentalist and terrorists". There presence gives you the leverage to equate with all the terrorist activities in the name of Islam and all the Hindu bashing of the Christians. And the next secular deduction you make is that since there is a few Hindu fundamentalist, it must be that the entire Hindu community is Fundamentalist.
I assume you don"t claim yourself as part of a Hindu community and would not like to be labeled as a fundamentalist. I do not want to embarrass you by asking about your parents or forefathers.
We know for sure that you belong to the Marxist community, though. Are you aware that even in your so called atheist, Marxist community in India, there are people who value their Ganesh and Lakshmi, their Kali and Durga, their Shiva and Vishnu and their Rama and Krishna much above your Marx and Lenin. Hindu Subhash blasts CPM
Also we know that you are not naïve to actual violence and fundamentalism. Let us look back at history. On the morning of April 30, 1982, sixteen Ananda Marg monks and a nun were dragged out of taxis, beaten to death and then set on fire, as watched by thousands of people in Tiljala, one of Kolkata"s southern suburbs Basu Govt still suppressing facts on Margi massacre. This was allegedly carefully planned and executed by Marxist cadres over a land dispute with the Marg. The Marxists had feared the Margis would upstage their domination in the Kasba belt, which was at that time a base for the CPI(M).
Will you consider this violence as Marxist fundamentalism?
Such violence is nothing new to Communism. Violence and Terror has been the basis of the doctrine of Stalinism and Mao-ism and the pillars on which the "democratic" reign of the Marxist communist party in West Bengal has existed for over three decades now. Marxist comrades and cadres are required to participate in various "revolutionary" activities for the betterment of the society, including gunning down of innocents, as we recently witnessed in Nandigram. Marxist leaders like you, in turn, have to encourage them with calls for violence Brinda prescribes "Dum Dum dawai" for Opposition.
Interestingly, the fact that a large number of the victims in Nandigram were Muslims did not bother the Minority commissions or the Secular brigade because the perpetrators themselves were of the same color as the members of the commissions and brigades. There was no special Hindu or saffron shade in the picture - so no point in playing the religious card.
Does the Nandigram violence qualify for Marxist or Secular fundamentalism, Mrs. Karat?
What do you propose to do with the entire fundamentalist Hindu community, Mrs. Karat? Do you intend to wipe them out as you crushed the Nandigram opposition?
Have you for once wondered, Mrs. Karat, how fortunate you are to live in this Hindu fundamentalist"s country?
Consider for a moment that you are in your ideologically desired country of China and you mention something like this against the communist majority in their politburo meet. How long do you think it would take for your blood to be splashed all over Tiananmen Square?
Imagine you are in a Middle Eastern country and accusing that the whole Muslim community is fundamentalist. How long do you think it would take before the footage of your beheading reaches and graces the "You tube" website, for the viewing privilege of the rest of the world?
Picture yourself, standing in the US senate and blaming the whole Christian community as fundamentalist. Perhaps they would bring back the medieval laws to enjoy the pleasure of seeing you being crucified and stoned to death. As a minimum, if you are fortunate you would be left to rot for the rest of your life in Guantanamo or some other remote CIA operated prison?
Do you now appreciate how lucky you are to be still around, amongst the Hindu community, even after several days of the most demeaning generalization that you can make about the majority populations of this ancient land? Shamefully, barring a few, the 250 odd, Rajya Sabha members, presumably mostly Hindu hardly made any protest. Our secular anti-Hindu media and the opportunistic vote-hungry politicians, too occupied in sensationalizing "Hindu Terror", could not find any gainful reason to criticize your enlightening comment.
No threat to withdraw your comment was made from any segment of the country.
Not a single "fatwa" was decreed against you.
No prize money was offered for your head.
No call to taste your blood was heard.
Surely even you"ll agree that your so called Hindu fundamentalists are purely of prekindergarten varieties compared to their Muslim counterpart. Clearly Hindu fundamentalists do not have any idea of the ABCs of fundamentalism? Perhaps you anticipated very well that you would have a fair chance of getting away with this malfeasance.
Compare this to the Danish cartoon or Taslima Nasreen saga. Did you even dream to make any antagonizing remark like this about even a section of the, let alone the entire, Muslim community? You knew that even the army of comrades of your party and the power of your general secretary - husband would not be enough to give you protection after that.
Have you thought of the possibility that if the whole Hindu community was indeed fundamentalist, they should have offered you as a sacrificial "balidaan" to their Bharatmata, right then and there in the altar of the Rajya Sabha.
Or may be that possibility did cross your mind? Is there actually a hysteric outburst of fear in your exclamation? Are you afraid that the scare of the retaliating Hindu has become a reality now? Are you shuddering with the apprehension that the combined façade of intellectualism, activism and secularism will not be enough to cover up any more? That the ugly faces are exposed and identifiable now and the time of retribution may not be far away.
Have you considered the real threat of true Hindu fundamentalism? The 80 crores strong do not even need to be violent or fundamentalist. All they have to do is to take a few united stride and that will steam roll the likes of a few hundreds of your kind who are taking this country of India, our punya bhumi, for a ride, dividing its people in every possible way starting from religion, language, regionalism, caste and tribes. The mass is counting days to reach to this handful of leaders, who in coordination with the foreign funded, anti-national media continues to serve their own vested interest at the cost of lives and properties of the innocents.
The majority Hindu community has been systematically alienated in their own country; they have been pushed too far. Retaliation is expected. Violence though undesirable, does happen. These isolated events may be signs of early days. Bharatvarsha is no Nandigram, Mrs Karat. It is just a few people who have started to sacrifice - imagine when their number increases. That is what leads to revolution. Not the Marxist variety to make India subservient to the Chinese masters: but the nationalistic variety - to return India to its glory and zenith.
Brace yourself Mrs Karat, people like you may not be lucky forever.
