UPA policies are helping fanatics
By Prof. Bal Raj Madhok
Fifty nine years have passed since the British quit Hindustan after
dividing it between Hindu India, and Muslim India called Pakistan, on
the basis of religion as demanded by the Muslim League which got total
support of Muslims of Hindu majority parts of the country in the
crucial election of 1946. Total exchange of the Hindu and Muslim
population, left behind in Muslim India and Hindu India, as demanded by
the Muslim League was according to Dr B.R. Ambedker, the "Logical
corollary of Partition". The Congress leadership accepted the
Partition, exchange of civil servants, armed forces and even prisoners
in jail, on the basis of their religion, but opposed the exchange of
population for reasons that now stand fully exposed.
But Pakistan had its way; It cleansed Pakistan of its Hindu-Sikh
population by force. The slogan that then rang in streets of
Lahore-Has Ke Liya Pakistan larke lengae Hindustan (We have got
Pakistan at no cost, we will get Hindustan by force)-gave an explicit
indication of the mind of Pakistan. Pak invasion of Jammu and Kashmir
in October 1947, desertion of the Muslim jawans and officers of the
state army, enblock to Pak invaders, and the forcible religious
cleansing of PoK exposed the mind and Plan of Pakistan in regard to
Hindu India which had become "Darul-Harb" for Muslims.
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel was the only top Congress leader who learnt
the lessons of Partition and tried to give nationalist orientation to
the policies of free India. It was informally accepted that no Muslim
would be given sensitive posts of chief of staff of the three wings of
the armed forces and Home and foreign secretary of the Government of
India.
As Vice-chairman of the "Study Team" on Defence appointed by the
Government of India in 1967, I had the opportunity to interact with the
heads of Defence forces on Defence related problems, on the basis of
their experience of wars with Pakistan in 1947-48 and 1965. At that
time, the borders of Gujarat and Rajasthan with Pakistan came under the
purview of the southern command with its headquarter at Pune. I wanted
to know about the experiences of the armed forces about the conduct of
Muslims living on the border areas. The commanding officers were
reluctant to answer but when I insisted on getting a candid answer, I
was told, that exceptions apart, they could hardly trust a Muslim. With
the growing communalisation of national policies in favour of Muslims,
under the name of secularism in the recent years, thing have become
worse.
Worldwide resurgence of fundamentalist Islam, expanding field of
operation of Muslim terrorists in the context of declaration of leaders
of the Al-Qaida, about bracketing Hindus with Jews and "crusaders"
i.e., Christians as the main targets of Islamic Muslim terrorism, has
made it clear that this worldwide Muslim terrorism, has nothing to do
with specific grievances in regard to Kashmir or Palestine. It is
therefore, wrong to think that Muslim terrorists activities in India
will stop if a settlement of Kashmir issue to the satisfaction of
Pakistan is arrived at. It is wrong to think that such activities are
handiwork of some misguided and unemployed youth who act as agents of
Pakistan backed Muslim jehadi organisations at a price. Muslim
terrorism have world view and clear objective of establishing the sway
of Islam and imposition of Islamic laws and values opposite of
democratic and humanistic values, which uphold freedom of thought,
religion and guarantee peaceful existence.
Tony Blair, the Prime Minister of UK has spelt out in his speech at
Foreign Affairs Council at Los Angeles, USA, his assessment of the
developing situation. According to him the conflict is
multi-dimensional. On the one side it is between what he calls
"Reactionary Islam", and "Moderate" and "Reformist Islam"
and on the other between Humanism and Islamism. President Bush calls it
"Islamic Fascism".
Talk about reactionary Islam and reformist Islam is an exercise in
self-deception. Islam is bound to and guided by letter and spirit of
Koran, which does not permit any kind of reform. The movement for
modernisation and reforms of Islam started by Kemal Pasha is now in
retreat in Turkey itself. Fundamentalist and Reactionary Islam is
gaining ground all over the world. Policy makers of India driven by
vote bank politics have been ignoring these hard realities. Their
policies favour Muslim terrorisms.
This has encouraged Islamic separatists and fundamentalists to gain
ground and widen their base in India. The rapid growth of Madrasas and
so-called minority institutions particularly Aligarh Muslim University
and Jamia Milia Islamic at Delhi are playing a dangerous role in this
respect.
As things are, the world is moving towards a third world war which is
bound to become a war between humanism and Islamists on the one side
and humanism and huministic values on the other. India with its long
tradition of freedom of thought and worship coupled with the fact that
over 95 per cent of Indian Muslims are progeny of converts to Islam and
are therefore blood relations of Hindus could have given a Humanistic
orientation to Islam and moderate and reformist look to Indian Muslims.
That has not been done. Rising generation of Indian Muslims is
therefore becoming more prone to Islamic fanaticism than ever before.
That is why local support base of Muslim terrorists terrorists is
expanding.
Unless effective steps are taken to check this, it may go out of hand.
War with Pakistan is inevitable. Any kind of softness towards Islamists
and Muslim terrorists would be disastrous.
