Akhand Bharat- Dream and the Reality

Akhand Bharat is a dream of many Hindu organizations in India and abroad. They want establish a Hindu Nation by uniting the Indian subcontinent which includes Pakistan, Bangladesh and some times even up to Malaysia where there are traces of monarchy of Indian kings were present. I strongly believe this idea of Akhand Bharat is unrealistic and be harmful to the nation. Recently Narandra Modi has revealed another face of Akhand Bharat.

In his most famous interview to Shahid Siddiqui of Urdu weekly Nai Dunia, Narendra Modi expressed his views on Akhand Bharat “My dream is that from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, people should be ek and nek (one and good)... It is the imperialists in Pakistan who are running a campaign for Akhand Bharat, so that Pakistan, India and Bangladesh can become one and this can be a Muslim-majority country... These people want to place Indian Muslims on the frontline and create tension.”

In reply to this opinion working president of Vishwa Hindu Parshad Dr Pravin Thogadia tweeted “No Hindu votes to him after he said: Those who campaign for Akhand Bharat are Pakistani Imperialists: In interview given to Shahid Siddiqi”. This tweet shows the tensed relationship between the Hindu organization and Modi. But Narendra Modi is partly right in his opinion about the Akhand Bharat. If Pakistan and Bangladesh unites with India the situation in India worsens as the majority Muslims of these countries will be welcomed by
pseudo secularists of the country and the life of citizens of India becomes miserable. We are already experiencing the tension in Assam due to the soft corner towards the Bangladeshi Muslims in Assam.

But John R Schmidt who served as political counselor at the US embassy in Islamabad, in his latest book ‘The Unravelling - Pakistan in the Age of Jihad’ tells the day might come when Pakistan might be reabsorbed into India the political unrest it may face in the future. Islamic terrorists might be able to seize a warhead and either use it for nuclear blackmail. Then US and India will be left with no other alternative option than “destroy all that was left of the Pakistani armed forces through the use of air power, with the US providing the air power and India the bulk of ground forces” He also tells "Once the dust had settled, the Indians and their US allies would then face a critical political question: what to do about the areas of Pakistan that had been brought under their control," they might incorporate the occupied territories into India, bringing about the final unravelling of the Pakistani state.

If it happens, dream of Hindu organizations may partially come true. Nothing can be ruled off in the present situation of terrorism and unrest in Pakistan. But I wish it won't happen.

Pakistan- a nuclear threat to the world!

The most immediate nuclear threat does not lie in North Korea, or Iran it is in Pakistan. Also we should remember that Pakistan is the only Islamic nation which is declared nuclear weapon nation. Pakistan, slowly being swallowed by the Islamic extremists of Taliban, soon it could completely be controlled by forces allied with al-Qaida and other groups. Which will make them get access to its nuclear technology.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb, who confessed to having been involved in creating international network of nuclear weapons technology proliferation from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and North Korea is now free. Political drama of Pakistan made him free citizen recently who is one of the most wanted by the world. It also shows what is Pakistan's response to the world's demand.

Taliban in Pakistan have strengthened their hold over the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the North-West Frontier Province since Zardari became president. If you observe recent developments, it seems Pakistan is going to be another Afghanistan. Hence Pakistan soon could put the nuclear weapons in the hands of a government tied to terrorist networks. If al-Qaida allies were to come to power in Pakistan, you can not just imagine the threat that the world pose. The threat is not only for India or USA, but the whole world will suffer.

Even though a huge fund is flowing to Pakistan from US, US have no control over Pakistan. The western world with the leadership of USA went to war to remove the threat of special weapons in the hands of Saddam Hussein. Now time has come to do the same with Pakistan before the terrorists gets control of nuclear weapons in Pakistan. I could be only option lies with the world to remove threat of nuclear terrorism of Pakistan.

It is missionary terrorism

If we are blaming on Islamic terrorism of Taliban there is also another kind of terrorism. If Islamic terrorism is against the people of another religion or culture and aimed at destroying those followers. But another kind of terrorism I'm going to tell is against the humanity, against the belief, against the religion, against the culture. Yes, if you would have guessed you are right. It is Christian terrorism. Missionaries are the regulators of such terrorism.

Sanatana Dharma- Hindu Dharma and Hinduism is becoming the victim of this terrorism. Missionaries are busy in forcibly converting Hindus and to deconstruct Hindu society by waging a psychological war. Instead of peaceful co-existing with other religions as millions in India already do, they attempt to decimate all other religions through by conversion in the name of charity.

Missionaries funded by Western churches and nations often bribe local officials to cover up their activities. Missionaries operate in India under the guise of “charity” efforts when in fact they are simply “buying” converts through gifts and material items. Joseph Cooper of the United States carried out missionary activities for 11 years in India before he was expelled after being an accomplice to Pastor Sam Benson in the raping a 12 year old Hindu girl. If you think Christian Missionaries are peaceloving organisations you are wrong Christian militant groups in Northeast India busy in threatening the freedom and challenging the well-being of other religions. t is primarily due to those who want to make the whole region into a separate Christian state at the expense of those who would prefer to follow their own indigenous and Hindu cultures.

It is painfully obvious that political leaders, westernized media pundits, and the bureaucrats in India lack the requisite social and political knowledge, and philosophical skills to understand the devious activities of the church. They lack a firm national, religious, cultural commitment. They are driven to extreme and idiosyncratic decision by the lack of historical context of their judgments.

India lagging behind in its security

Israel, officially the State of Israel is a state in Western Asia located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. With a population of about 7.28 million,the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world's only Jewish state. Several countries, including Syria and Iran, refuse to recognise Israel's right to exist.Arab countries over the years refused to acknowledge Israel's right to exist, and Arab nationalists led by Nasser called for the destruction of the state.Israel maintains diplomatic relations with 161 countries and has 94 diplomatic missions around the world. The United States, Turkey, Germany, the United Kingdom and India are among Israel's closest allies. The majority of Israelis are drafted into the military at the age of eighteen. Men serve three years and women serve two years. Israel also has Palestinian terrorist as its enemy. Hamas Terror Organization has international support too. Though Israel never lagged behind when it comes to its security. Israel never asked anybody when it has to fight for it. It never hesitated to attack on Hamas. They know, world will support them.

Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres off the southern coast of India. It is home to around twenty million people. Since 1983, there has been on-and-off civil war, predominantly between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), a separatist militant organization who fight to create an independent state named Tamil Eelam in the North and East of the island. Sri Lanka was considered one of the "world's most politically unstable countries" by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank in 2004. Sri Lanka's government is labeled as one of the "world's worst perpetrators of enforced disappearances", according to a study by US-based pressure group 'Human Rights Watch'. Now, even the Sri Lankan army is celebrating win over rebels.

But India is still lagging behind. Our leaders are busy in burning. They are still giving warning to Worlds 8Th Failed State Pakistan to hand over the culprits. What a funny statements. Our leaders have forgot India maintains the third-largest military force in the world, which consists of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force. India maintains close defence cooperation with Russia, France and Israel, who are the chief suppliers of arms. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has overseen the indigenous development of sophisticated arms and military equipment, including ballistic missiles, fighter aircrafts and main battle tanks, to reduce India's dependence on foreign imports. In other hand world itself has already given an award to Pakistan "8th top Failed state" (1st is Somalia, 8th is Pakistan) and how one can believe in it? But India is. It may be due to its brotherhood relationships. If India and Pakistan were treated as two human beings the story can be used for a Bollywood film script. Every Indian is waiting to celebrate our win over our enemies. We know they are in Pakistan, they are in Pak Occupied Kashmir. World knows it. We have support of the world, though we don't need. But our leaders are not ready to show who we are. Dirty politicians.

Mother India crying looking at Arundhati Roy

"We had the death of former prime minster VP Singh, the hero of Dalits and lower castes and villain of Upper caste Hindus pass without a mention." Arundhati Roy writes in an article, she is so sad that terror attack on Mumbai made the people not to remember VP Singh. Arundhati Roy treats VP Singh as a hero, it is obvious that she is a "secular" Indian. She sometimes calls BJP as villions of Dalits and praises Vishwanath Pratap Singh, who cobbled a coalition of the Left and BJP to dethrone Rajiv Gandhi in the 1989 elections as a hero of Dalits. VP singh once considered very close to Rajiv Gandhi, later slammed him, quit his government in 1987 on the issue of corruption in public life. She writes for Guardian like some Islamist Extremist or some Pakistani had entered into her body. Mother India is crying looking at Arundhati Roy.

She writes- Even today we don't really know who the terrorists that attacked the Indian parliament were and who they worked for. She advocates on behalf of LeT, Afzal guru and some other extremist. She brings Modi, RSS, Bajarang Dal, other persons and organisation in the article that she writes an the occasion of Mumbai terror attacks and condemns something else. She delivers a judgement that pro-Hindu people are terrorists and such organisations are terrorist groups. She advocates on behalf of Pakistan's government that the terrorist may not be belonging to Pak. Then, from where they came from? Mother India is crying looking at Arundhati Roy.

According to Roy, Muslims are not the only people in the gun sights of the Hindu right. Dalits have been consistently targeted. Recently in Kandhamal in Orissa, Christians were the target of two and a half months of violence which left more than 40 dead. She writes LeT chief tells "We would like to give India a tit-for-tat response and reciprocate in the same way by killing the Hindus, just like it is killing the Muslims in Kashmir." She arrives to an idea that India, Indians, Hindus are busy in sinful acts. Are dalits not Hindus? At the same time she forgets that how many Kashmiri Pundits are refugees now. Who made them refugees? Are Kashmiri Pundits Dalits? Who killed Swami Lakshmananand Saraswati? What could be the cause behind Kandamal incidents? Why people raised their voice and shoulder in Gujrat? She doesn't need explanation for these things because she writing article for an international magazine. If she was a follower of Islam, if she writes the same thing what she made her pen busy now against Islam she could have not able to calculate the number of fatwa could have been on her. Mother India is crying looking at Arundhati Roy.

Standard Pakistani Response template; A forwarded mail

Don't know who generated this response by entering into a Zardari's heart. My friend Nitin Hegde, Muttige forwarded this mail to me.

Dear Prime Minister Manmohan Singh/Atal Bihari Vajpayee/Narasimha Rao /Rajiv Gandhi,

Pakistan strongly condemns / is shocked by / is pleasantly surprised with the success of our "freedom fighters" in the loss of dozens / hundreds / thousands / millions of innocent lives in the bomb blasts / sniper attack / hijacking / religious riots / other disaster that occurred in a busy marketplace / train / housing colony / Indian parliament building / an upper-class hotel / temple in Mumbai / Delhi / Kashmir / Assam / Punjab / Gujarat / Other.

The Pakistani citizens / soldiers / "freedom fighters" / "friendship agents" / students who were caught red-handed / found dead at the scene of the crime / convicted of the crime are actually undercover Indian / American / Israeli agents. Any Pakistanis proven to be guilty of terrorism will be rewarded handsomely / dealt with severely / promoted to Lt. Colonel / given a new Indian passport and sent back to India / handed over to the Americans as proof of our commitment in the war on terror.

There are no Pakistani army-funded training camps / terrorist camps / madrasaas in Azad Kashmir / Afghanistan / Nepal / Bangladesh . The satellite images / photographs / eyewitness accounts / videotaped confessions obtained by the Indians is fraudulent / fake / inconclusive / are actually from Indian terrorist camps and part of a larger RAW / CIA conspiracy to destabilize the Pakistani government by stalling democracy / encouraging sectarian violence / undermining Pakistani institutions / causing the next military coup in Pakistan. A destabilized Pakistani government / mafia could cause Pakistan to become a dangerous nuclear WalMart / Target / Seven-Eleven and a terrorist breeding ground / university / research lab that would be worse for the world.

We hope this will not derail the peace process started with the recent India-Pakistan cricket series / Lahore bus yatra / Muzafarabad- Srinagar road opening / Bollywood peace concert / open borders initiative / other confidence-building measures. We look forward to justifying further attacks against innocent civilians / resolving the core issue of Kashmir / developing best-of-breed plausible deniability defenses.

We stand by / are plotting against our Indian brethren in their hour / days / years / decades of pain.

LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER

I received this mail from my friend Santhosh B. J. Don't know, who has written this letter. But I thought it is publishable in my blog. Thanks to original writer.

Dear Mr. Prime minister

I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that.

Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India .

Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima .

We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.

Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?

I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.

Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it.. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.

If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule.

Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.

Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us.. There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

ರಾಜೀನಾಮೆ ನೀಡಲು ಇಷ್ಟೊಂದು ಸಾವು ನೋಡಬೇಕಿತ್ತ?

ಅಂತೂ ಇಂತೂ ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಪಾಟೀಲ್ ರಾಜೀನಾಮೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟರಂತೆ ಅನ್ನೋ ಸುದ್ದಿ ಕೇಳಿ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯಾಯಿತು. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನೊಮ್ಮೆ ಟೆರರ್ ಅಟಾಕ್ ಅದಾಗ ಪಾಟೀಲ್ರ ಅದೇ ಬಾಯಿಪಾಠ ಮಾಡಿದಂತ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನ ಇನ್ನಾದರೂ ಕೇಳುವುದು ತಪ್ಪಿತಲ್ಲ ಎನ್ನುವ ಸಂತೋಷ. ಪಾಪ ಬಡಪಾಯಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯರನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ಅಂಥ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಇಟ್ಟರೆ ಇನ್ನೆನಾಗಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯ? ನಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಹೋಂ ಮಿನಿಸ್ಟರ್ ಕಥೇನೂ ಅಸ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ವೇ?

They are Islamic extremist! Do you Indian have guts to say it is "islamic extremism"?

O Hindus! O disbelieving faithless Indians! Haven’t you still realized that the falsehood of your 33 crore dirty mud idols and the blasphemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not at all going to save your necks, Insha-Allah, from being slaughtered by our hands? Nor is your fictitious faith in monkeys, pigs and nude statues going to save you from the Wrath of Allah and His Humiliating Punishment.

Are you a Hindu? What do you feel? How dare they are to tell so in our land. India, the Bharatha Khand, mother land of great civilisation, mother land of Vedic society was meant for Hindus, it will never change. How dare they are to send a mail from Indian soil?

Here we are back - the Mujahideen of India - the terrorists on the disbelievers - the radicals of Islam - after our triumphant and successful assault at Jaipur, once again calling you all, who disbelieve in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to accept Islam and bear witness that there is none to be worshipped except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Accept Islam and save yourselves. "Fight them (the disbelievers), Allah will punish them by yourhands and bring them to disgrace, and give you victory overthem and He will heal the hearts of those who believe.” (Qur’an9:14).

Yes, basters, you are! But you don't know we Indians are not still entered the field. We believe in Krishna's words. Same bhagadgeeta, which upholds Shanti can also creat Mahabharath war to bring peace. Yes we can!

Get ready with all the weapons you have. Plan and organize your moves. Select your targets. Target these evil politicians and leaders of BJP, RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, who provoke the masses against you.

I'm proud of you BJP, RSS, VHP and Bhajarang Dal. If you are enemies of terrorists you should be friends of Mother India. One should remember Enemies of enemies are our Friends!

Parliament and we hereby declare an ultimatum to all the stategovernments of India, especially to those of Rajasthan, UttarPradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra to stop harassing the Muslims and keep a check on their killing, expulsion, and encounters

So? Terrorists are fighting for muslims. Why the hell our political readers are still in love of muslims? So what next?

Oh dear Indian decide what to do!

Or just cry for India what her sons are doing to her!

Another terror attack in Mumbai; When will our leaders consider it?

ATS chief Hemant Karkare dead:

Mumbai Nov 26 (PTI): Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, another senior IPS officer were among three officials killed Wednesday night in separate encounters with terrorists who struck at various places across India's financial capital. 54-year-old Karkare was killed when he was leading an operation at hotel Taj against terrorists who had taken 15 people, including seven foreigners, as hostages. Another IPS officer Ashok Marutirao Kamte, a 1989 batch IPS officer, was killed while fighting terrorists at Metro Cinema in the city along with encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar.

They are killed. Killed by terrorists, then? Our heartless secular leaders may call it as fake encounter; and advocate that death of the terorists should be given to CBI enquiry. This was the way our dirty politicians responded in earlier cases. This was the way they tried to pray for the sole of our IPS officers who gave thier lives for mother India and made never rested in peace!!

Politicians are the only reason behind these attacks. The persons should be punished are the political leader of the dirty secular parties those who show thier love to minorities even in the cases like terror attacks. What to do? They don't have guts to make a better policy against terrorism. Don't have time to think of it. Because they know most people those who go behind barrs due to these policies are minorities. They are busy in proving terrorism is not religion bounded, that means they are just busy in proving Hindus are terrorists!! What a pity!

Where are you Mr Home Minister? Please don't call for another press meet. Press people have too many recordings of the same. They will telecast any one. It shame of you that you haven't changed your words in any of the cases - Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Dehli and now Mumbai. This time at least don't come out. Our dear Prime Minister is happy with the Anti terror Policies of the union Govt. Thats why frenquent attact are going on to give some home work to Home minister. Look at the atacks, how strong our policies? Atleast now, instead of thinking terrors are Muslims, think of Mother India. Then I hope you can come out of minority politics and save India.

Death Toll

Between January 2004 and March 2007 the death toll from terrorist attacks in India was 3,674, second only to Iraq during the same period, according to the National Counterterrorism Center in Washington.

The government has previously blamed terrorist attacks on organizations linked to foreign powers, without offering evidence or making arrests. Local media often blame the attacks on groups backed by Pakistan or Bangladesh, without identifying the security officials who provided the information.

India’s capital, New Delhi, was rocked by five blasts during an evening rush hour in September, killing as many as 26 people and injuring about 133. Indian Mujahadeen, which claimed responsibility for similar attacks in Ahmedabad and Jaipur, said it was behind the blasts.

Sixteen bombs exploded in Ahmedabad within 20 minutes late on July 26, a day after seven bombs tore through India’s technology hub of Bangalore, killing two. At least 20 devices hidden in cars and garbage cans were discovered and defused in the Gujarat city of Surat, days after the Ahmedabad blasts.
