Hindu Media had a special discussion topic titled : //Will the Delhi encounter send a strong message to terrorists? Will the latest encounter killings serve a warning to terrorists?

The question was simplistic of course and pretended not to know the complexities, including what the Hindus have done to bring India to this pass. That discussion topic led to euphoria amongst the Hindus.

The encounter was celebrated as a Hindu victory (at last !) over those Muslims. The Inspector Mohan Sharma was hailed as a selfless Hindu patriot. Maybe they will build a temple for him. Except it emerges that the Inspector was not wearing a bullet- proof vest and was shot in the back by friendly fire !

Basically, the Hindus are in denial mode about their attraction to fascism. They would like to forget the atrocities they have repeatedly committed against minorities, and they want victory by any means.

A good segment of the Hindus have embraced the fascism of the Sangh, or they have become fellow travellers. Although the Muslims have reason to strike and attack Hindus, my gut feeling is that the current wave of attacks has a Sangh hand, as the BJP jockeys for electoral advantage.

The BJP is not going to win by promising education, health care and such things. They know that. The winning theme for them is to offer to protect the Hindus from Muslims.

In the 1920s, the Nazis burnt the Reichstag, blamed it on the communists, and then used that to forcefully silence all opponents. Our Hindu Hitlerists are no different - Hindus and Muslims need to die to have their man, Advani, in power.

India’s problem is not Muslim terrorism or Christian conversions. Our menace is Hindutva, which is another name for Hindu fascism, and this needs to be discussed and tackled squarely.

All the Hindutva leaders (from Golwalkar, Savarkar and Moonje, to Modi, Thackeray and Advani) held/hold Hitler as their inspiration, and Nazi Germany as the model for India. It is interesting to note that Hindutva cannot think of anyone Hindu to proclaim.

Fascism is the primary terrorism in India. The majority uses its status to intimidate the minorities with violence. Fascism leads to civil war and break-up of countries. Just look at Germany, Spain, Yugoslavia. India’s fate will be no different under Hindutva. In Europe, Britain and other countries had to join together to fight Nazism.

In India, at the moment, the Christians, the Muslims and Dalits are fighting Hindu fascism, each on their own. What all Indian anti-fascists (Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs) should do is to fight on a common platform. For a common front, the struggle will have to be led by liberal, anti-fascist Hindus.

The Hindu fascist typically thinks that the state, that is Congress, Laloo, & Mulayam, are soft on terrorism, because they are pro-Muslim. He thinks this is because they are elected with Muslim votes. Now, how many Muslim votes can there be ? They are 12%.

The Congress, Laloo, & Mulayam cannot be elected without a lot of Hindus also voting for them. The Hindu fascist also imagines that when the BJP comes terrorism will end.

The terrorism of the serial bomb attacks only started as a result of the BJP's demolition of the Babari masjid and the Gujarat pogrom. It is foolish to expect the originator of terrorism will curb it.

Anyway, look at the BJP's record in power - there was an attack on parliament, on Akshardharm temple, and a plane was hijacked and the BJP capitulated miserably. When the BJP surrendered in Kandahar, the RSS leader Sudarshan castigated the BJP and said it was another case of Hindu cowardice.

So on stopping terrorism, the BJP is all mouth and no trousers. In fact, if the BJP is elected, more people from Pakistan and Bangladesh will volunteer for attacks on India. This is because of the BJP's image of being a party of Hindu extremists who attack Muslims.

The Indian government conveys the impression that Hindu terrorists can relax in India after attacking Muslims and Christians, so there is bound to be attacks on Hindus. In the case of the Christians, they will bring western pressure to bear on India. In the case of the Muslims, they will attack Hindus, pure and simple.

It is best for Hindus to have a re-think on the BJP and the seductive attractions of Hindutva fascism. Base your decision on analysis of the BJP's records, not on prejudices and false hopes. Abandoning the BJP is the best for Hindu survival.

Goodness, conversion and jihad are on the lips of the Hindus these days ! The Hindus feel that the space for Hinduism is shrinking. And so it should. Hindu terrorists are relaxing as policemen, ministers and politcians, after indulging in pogroms and encounters.

The Hindus make the social fabric of the country disintegrate, while they imagine they are the only patriots in the land. This is their understanding of patriotism. Muh main Ram aur bagal main churi !

Considering the fascist inclinations of current day Hinduism, India will be better off without it.

Only Hindu terrorists can relax in India. Hindu Press has not addressed this.

Advani organised a rakt yatra and used violent Hindu mobs to demolish the Babari masjid. There is a pending court case against him, but he went on to become Home Minister, in charge of law-and-order ! Now he is an aspirant for the PM's posts.

Modi organised an internationally televised pogrom to win the Gujarat elections. Many Hindus think he is Prime Ministerial material !

Bal Thackeray was indicted by the SriKrishna commission for organising commual riots against Muslims. He is free. But people who organised the serial blasts later in Bombay in retaliation, are convicted. This is a clear example that Hindu terrorists can relax because they have government support.

The Sikhs were murdered by Hindu mobs in 1984, and no Hindu has been punished. There are attacks going on against the Christians in Orissa organised by VHP and Bajrang Dal, yet the Hindus say these are not terrorist organisations.

The main retaliation to Hindu terrorism comes from the Muslims. Then the Hindus run with their pants down and cry /terrorism/. It seems the Hindus want the right to beat up others, but when the retaliation comes, they cry for themselves.

Nowadays, they fear the Muslims so much, they cry even before the retaliation comes. Why this fear ? It is because they know they are gulity, so they expect retaliation. The theme that Hindus are victims of terrorism cannot be sold to the outside world.

The Hindus need to stop wallowing in self-pity and act like a community that can lead India.
