DESIGN AND CALCULATED TO DESTROY
HINDUS IN INDIA

The bill
titled ”Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill – 2011” has been
drafted under the leadership of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. It will soon be tabled in Parliament for
approval.
The bill
divides Indian society in two parts: “Group” (minority community comprised of
Christians and Muslims) and “Others” (majority community, meaning Hindus). This bill assumes that “Others”, the majority
community of India
(Hindus) are habitual perpetrators of violence and the ”Group” (Muslims and
Christians) are the victims.
On the
contrary, study after study has proven that Muslims have instigated many of the
communal violence incidents in India. Several of these studies have been by
independent and renowned juridical authorities of unimpeachable integrity. To cite an instance, Justice Tewatia’s
“indisputable” report clearly states the attacks on Sabarmati Express at Godhra
station on February
27, 2002 were pre-planned by a Muslim mob in which 58 Hindu women
and children were roasted alive. (http://www.jaia-bharati.org/nicole-elfi/ni-godhra-ang.htm).
This bill has
been drafted by National Advisory Council (NAC). The Advisory committee is a nominated body
and has no constitutional status. The
stated purpose of the Bill is to address the question of communal violence in
the country but the extremely insidious agenda is to communalize Indian polity,
create hatred against Hindus, destroy communal harmony, demonize Hindus and
convert Hindus either to Christianity or Islam.
This bill
seeks to perpetuate a fraud on the majority Hindu community of India. The bill’s target is implicit and sub rosa the Hindu community of India. The bill subliminally propagates abhorrence
against Hindus.
Amongst the
exceptionally biased and one-sided provisions of the bill are:
· If a case is registered against a Hindu, he has to prove his
innocence.
· This law is applicable only when the victim is the “Group” that is,
a Muslim or a Christian.
· During the trial, the court may issue orders to attach the property
of the accused Hindu.
· The victim will be granted financial compensation within 30 days.
· If a Hindu loses property, is humiliated or boycotted, this law
would not apply.
· If any Hindu publishes, communicates, disseminates, broadcasts,
advertises by words, either spoken or written, news about communal violence he
would be prosecuted for hate propaganda.
· Under this bill, if a Muslim or a Christian complains against any
Hindu leader or organization that his/her feelings have been offended, that
person/organization would be hauled up.
· Hindus would be prosecuted by “Communal Harmony Authority” to be set
up at the state and central levels with seven members each, of which four
including chairman and deputy chairman should be from the minority communities.
· All the crimes mentioned under this law are non-bailable.
High Court Advocate, P.P. Hegde has termed the bill as
“dreadful”. Mr. Hegde has compared this bill to the imposition of jaziya (tax
on infidels) on Hindus and Sikhs during Islamic rule in India. BJP has described it as
“dangerous”. Jaya Lalitha, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu finds this bill as
“Fascist”. Mamta Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal; Mayawati, Chief
Minister of U.P.; and several other Chief Ministers have vehemently criticized
it. None of the Opposition Parties or Hindu leaders have been consulted in this
regard.

Almost all of them are either Christians, Muslims or rabid
anti-Hindu Leftists. From their past actions, most of them seem to have been
born with an animus against the Hindu ethos.
They are notorious for their hate mongering proclivity against
Hindus. They are either explicit or closet
supporters of violence and discrimination against peaceable and tolerant
Hindus.
In India,
the Hindu population is more than 80%.
Hinduism is renowned in the world as a religion of tolerance and
benevolence towards other religious faiths for thousands of years. It is a part of the central doctrines of
Sanatana Dharma aka Hinduism. As a
testament, we can point out that minorities are today governing India.
UPA
Chairperson Sonia (Antonia Maino) Gandhi is a devout, professing Catholic. She is of Italian origin and she is a
naturalized citizen of India. At marriage, she insisted that her husband
Rajiv Gandhi convert to Christianity and that her children be raised as a
Christian/Catholic. Unfortunately, Sonia
Gandhi has understood little of the Hindu culture of amity, tolerance, and
ecumenism. Her son Rahul Gandhi is
reported to have told the American ambassador Timothy Roemer in 2009 that India
is facing a greater terror threat from radical Hindu groups than from Muslim
militant 5th columnists.
Both, Sonia and Rahul seem to suffer from an acute case of Hindu phobia;
their mindset is unwavering in trying to suffocate and suppress Hindus legally
in India. The aim of this draconian bill is to achieve
that goal.
It is
interesting to note that Sonia Maino Gandhi’s advisors and ministers are almost
all either Christians or Muslims. A.K.
Anthony, Defense Minister; Salman Khurshid, Law Minister; Gulam Nabi Azad,
Health Minister; Ahmed Patel, Seniormost Political Advisor; Margaret Alva,
Governor of Uttarakhand; and Anil Kumar Brown, also known as
"Charlie" Browne, Chief of Air Staff are amongst the most notables.
According to http://www.hinduwisdom.info/Glimpses_XVI7.htm, even
Ambika Soni, the current Information and Broadcasting Minister of India
who sports a big tilak on her forehead like Sonia and Rahul, and whose name
sounds like a Hindu is also a Christian. “She is also widely crticized for
arm-twisting the media, and trying to gag it”. Five chief ministers in Nagaland, Mizoram,
Meghalaya, Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh are also devout Christians.
The noose is
being tightened on Hindus. The situation
for Hindus in India, in
short, can be described as abysmally apocalyptic even though it is the majority
religion of India. Once this bill is enacted in Parliament, a
precariously perilous situation will arise for Hindus. Hindus must scrutinize and examine the threat
emanating from this fraudulent bill.
This bill is downright dangerous for the unity and integrity of India.
It is essential
that we should immediately unleash a propaganda blitz in print and electronic
media, highlighting the disastrous and deleterious impact the Communal Violence
Bill will have on the body politic of India and its majority Hindu civilization.
The survival
of Hindus is at stake. Our future
generation will not forgive us if we just succumb under pressure and keep
watching from sidelines as a spectator or act like a referee. We should wake up from the deep slumber, stop
internal squabbles, learn to work in unison, and come up with a solid strategy
to get rid of anti-Hindu UPA government.
