LETTER TO NEWS INDIA TIMES, NEW YORK May 18, 2013
On behalf of the Indian
American Intellectual Forum and its entire national and international
constituency I want to convey that we are appalled upon using purposely a
divisive and mischievous title “Dalit Leader Named Chief Minister of Karnataka”
(News India Times, dated May 16th) by your reporter. We are
convinced that this title is politically motivated, mean, mendacious, malicious
and a diabolical attempt designed to create a wedge in Hindu society and
fragmentize it to the advantage of the establishment.
If your reporter was
interested in igniting a new class warfare based on societal divisions that
previously existed in the Indian and Hindu society in all fairness he should
not have ignored the appointment and placement of the selective minority
individuals by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi in highly sensitive positions in the
government in office. Trampling upon the sentiments of the majority of Indians
she has quietly handed over most crucial and extremely important portfolios to
her pet individuals from Muslims and Christians communities. Here are some examples.
Salman Khurshid, Foreign Minister of India; E. Ahmad, India’s
Minister for External Affairs; Syed Akbarddin, the spokesman for the Ministry
of External Affairs; Chief of Intelligence Bureau, Syed Asif Ibrahim; Chief
Justice of India, Altmas Kabir; Attorney General of India, Goolam E. Vahanvati;
Vice President of India Mohammed Hameed Ansari; Health Minister Gulam Nabi
Aza;, Union Minister Farooq Abdullah, K. Rahman Khan, Sonia Gandhi’s political
Advisor Ahmad Patel all are Muslims. Former Chief Election Commissioner of
India, S.Y. Qureshi was also a Muslim.
Isn't it ironic that your
reporter while reporting about these pet individuals of Sonia Gandhi never identified them as Muslims, Sunnis,
Shiias or Christians. Can it be an inadvertent error?
Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi, Defense Minister A.K.
Anthony, Air Chief Marshall Norman Anil Kumar Browne all are Christians. However, strangely enough their
identification is never made by referring to their religion or Jati. Could it
also be a mistake?
The
Dalits, as is universally acknowledged, are an integral part of the Hindu
Samaj. Quietly and constructively Hindu society has been at work for bringing
about social reformation so that justice
and equality become a part of every
body including those who for one or the
other reason have thus far been denied such rights. Included in the scheme of this massive
transformation are those who were classified as unprivileged. We are determined
to make equality, justice, national unity and patriotism four
central pillars of Indian's modern civilization. Alas! your reporter failed to
recognize these characteristics in the New Indian Society. Clearly your
reporter’s intention smacks of mala-fide intention. We have not seen any news
report loudly proclaiming that Sonia and Rahul are Catholic Christians, and
that Salman Khurshid, Altmas Kabir and all others mentioned above are Muslims.
A doubt has crept in our minds that some anti-Hindu Communists,
communalists and far left guys entrenched in top most positions in Media are
deliberately sowing the seeds of
disintegration and conflict in Hindu Samaj. They twist and craft their items in such a way as to serve their
sinister and evil designs.
We firmly believe that your reporter has done a great disservice
to his profession and more importantly to Hindu Samaj. It is incomprehensible
as to what on earth prompted him to damage Hindu Society. Instead of drafting
and highlighting his news item negatively the reporter could have done a great
service to his profession by staying on facts, projecting positivity and by
helping the ongoing efforts by millions of Hindu volunteers towards unification
and revitalization of the entire Hindu Society.
Narain Kataria
President
