Christianity: West’s Default
Religion
Sandhya Jain
19 December 2009
Switzerland’s recent vote
against the construction of minarets as part of mosque architecture in that
nation symbolises a frontal return of Christianity as the Western world’s
default religion and culture, and a corresponding downsizing of the
discourse on
‘secularism’ and ‘multi-culturalism,’ which gave Islam an opportunity to seize
political and social space in the western public realm.
As other
European nations gear up to challenge the public display of symbols of Muslim
identity – most notably the hijab and
head scarf, though the beard and skull cap may prove more difficult –
a build-up
of religio-cultural tensions is inevitable. Violent outbursts cannot be ruled
out.
It is not a Hindu dharm-yudh
The Swiss
vote has caused a frisson of
excitement in traditional and secular circles in
India , with some
Hindus hallucinating about a ‘natural’ alliance with the Christian West to
mutually crush Islam. This foolish hope once soared after the 2001
attack on the
Twin
Towers in New York ,
and Hindus in particular and Indians in general failed to comprehend why
Pakistan emerged as the West’s
leading non-NATO ally. Dr.. Manmohan Singh is similarly clueless why
two hostile
votes in the IAEA against a friendly
Iran still led to President Obama declaring
China the leading Asian power.
Should
Hindus respond to a Western Crusade against Islam, the result will be
similar to
our experience in World War II, where the 2.5 million-strong Indian
Army won the
war for the colonial West, only to be betrayed back at home. The British
eventually quit India in 1947 only because of the military mutinies inspired by
Subhash Chandra Bose, and they successfully cut up the nation before leaving,
retaining critical territory in the form of a land bank called Pakistan, from
which they (and the US) could overlook (and operate in) Tibet, Central Asia,
China, Russia, and the Gulf. Further, they manipulated the mess in Jammu &
Kashmir, and continue to stir the pot, to our discomfort.
The purpose
of this article is to stress that Hindus lack the agility, self-confidence, or
even stake, to participate in the emerging War of Religions in
Europe . They would do well to keep out of this schism
within the Semitic fold. The West will never support Hindu affirmation and
primacy in India (or Asia),
and will always support Indian (and Pakistani / Bangladeshi) Muslims
and Jihadis
against the Hindu nation and the
Indian
State , for its own geo-strategic
dominance.
Terrorists
David Headley and Tahawwur Hussain Rana are not accidentally linked to the CIA
and FBI. [Ignore the denials; please understand that a ‘rogue’ CIA
agent is only
a person CIA has decided to ‘sacrifice’ once the job is done; that is, one who
is not a voluntary suicide bomber. Remember that Mumbai terrorist
survivor Ajmal
Kasab revealed that the terrorists were all assured of an ‘exit’ plan, and were
not suicide terrorists – a significant revelation). Similarly, Kashmiri
separatists do not casually visit the United
States and
Britain .
The Jihadi
menace in our part of the world is the direct consequence of Western politics,
which we can ignore only at our own peril. The Sonia Gandhi-led UPA’s decision
to appoint the Ranganath Mishra Commission and examine ways to extend
constitutional benefits of Hindu Scheduled Castes to Christian and Muslim
converts is part of this continuing assault on Hindu dharma and
dharmis in this country. So is the
‘quiet diplomacy’ with Kashmiri separatists; the decision to declare a
Muslim-centric Telengana state in the old Hyderabad domains of the Pak-oriented
Nizam on Sonia Gandhi’s birthday; and the proposal to bring an Equal
Opportunities legislation to push Muslim employment in the private sector.
Hindus must
realise that they will have to fight for their rights vis-à-vis politically
assertive and West-backed minorities (both Muslims and Christians) in
India with their own innate skills
and resources. To outsource legitimate Hindu concerns to the West is abdication
of responsibility, a sell-out.
Hindus have
no stake in a Christian-Islamic confrontation in
Europe (or anywhere else). Indeed, such a conflict, if it
concentrates Islamic energies and resources in Europe, is certain to
reduce jihad in
India . Rising
incidents of jihad in Europe – especially a fight to make Christian Europe an
Islamic Eurabia – could prove a saving grace for
India , similar to the Mongol rush to
Baghdad and Europe that bypassed
India .
Europe’s forked tongue
Notwithstanding Western
rhetoric aimed at undermining non-Christian traditions in the post-World War II
era, religion has always been a marker of political identity. And religion and
culture are intimately connected. In
India , the Hindu religion and culture
rose simultaneously from the same soil and people over the centuries,
and cannot be separated. In Islam, the
Arab tribes, Arabic language and culture centred round the minor
irrigation near
the oases and the caravan trade provided the core structure of the early
community. To this day, Islam is uncomfortable with cultural traits not rooted
in Arab Islam.
Christianity, however, rose as
a political community in Europe long after the death of Jesus, by taking over
the declining Roman Empire . It claims origin
from a man born in Galilee (or Bethlehem , or
Nazareth ); its
culture from the extinct Graeco-Roman civilisation, and has spread by
cannibalizing the traditions and cultures it encountered on its onward march.
The divide between religion and culture is thus
exclusive to Christian tradition, and cannot be extended to the
experience of more homogenous societies and peoples.
Equally
pertinently, Christianity has no native bhumi, much less
a native region or ethnicity to call its own, because Jesus led the
early believers away from his native Judaism and
roots, and opened the doors to other groups. When the fledgling community moved
to Rome , it moved to another continent, and grew
by gobbling up the religion, culture and people of the dying
Roman Empire . The Christian claim to conquer and enjoy the
whole Creation and its creatures, human and non-human alike, is grounded in the
Jewish Old Testament. Ironically, the Jews like their Christian offspring, also
lack a clearly defined place of origin (where was Abraham born, or Noah,
or Moses?); the first kingdom established by Joshua in
Jericho was by conquest
and the complete annihilation of the native population there.
Post Second
World War, Europe (including America) played a complex game to keep the
Christian religion and culture as the default religion and culture of
the world,
while paying lip service to concepts of ‘secularism’ and ‘multi-culturalism’
which, as I have argued before, are nothing but the Masks of the Christian God
to disempower the gods and cultures of other non-monotheistic civilisations.
Hindus in
India , and those who left in search
of financial opportunities abroad, have been willing to make this compromise
with the Christian West.
Islam, which
views itself as an exclusive nationhood, or ummah, is unable to compromise its
religious and cultural identity, especially as hundreds of ordinary
Muslims feel
that the West has politically and economically disempowered the Muslim world by
purchasing a handful of elites in Muslim lands, especially in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries, and made proxy colonies out of them.
In both the
Christian and the Muslim mind, there is little doubt that the current
contest is
a continuation of the intra-Semitic struggle that began with the Prophet’s
launching of his religious mission in Arabia ,
climaxed in the Crusades, and festered thereafter. All religions have a
political facet. But Prophet Mohammad sought political expression and expansion
for his religious community as part of his mission, and thus made Islam both a
political ideology and a religious nationalism. He did not define racial,
cultural, or geographical frontiers, which did not matter in the early heady
centuries of conquest. Today, however, Islam does not know how to cope with
limits to its expansion placed by other peoples and cultures; continuing tribal
and old civilisational identities within Islam, modern nationalism, and the
nation-state.
Yet without
adjusting to the nation-state and the natural limits to its geographical
expansion, Islam will not be able to combat the pro-Western political
elites who
have subordinated and humiliated Muslim countries and peoples to Western
Corporate entities. Without being proud, stable, and ascendant in the Arabian
homeland, Islam cannot hope to survive as a viable entity anywhere in
the world.
The Saudi refusal to permit other religious structures in
Saudi Arabia is
hollow as the dynasty survives on Western support, and operates as a subsidiary
of the Imperial West.
The
brutalized and brutalizing face of Islam in
Pakistan and
Afghanistan
reflects an aridity and brittleness that is doomed to failure. The famed Hindu
resilience after Mumbai 2008 and other less spectacular jihadi assaults is only
an inward understanding of this deeper impotence; Hindus are not afraid of
jihad; the real danger comes from the rampaging and manipulative West.
Crusades continue
Initially,
as Islam spread rapidly westwards, Christian Europe felt the heat. The Crusades
were launched to recover the Holy Land, but more pertinently, to break Muslim
control over the trade routes to Asia .
Christendom lost the Crusades, but Europe’s mercantile class opened the sea
route to the East, and later to Africa , putting
Muslims at bay on two ocean fronts.
Jerusalem was retaken in 1917; Gen. Allenby
famously remarked that the Crusades were finally completed!
Damascus was taken in
1920; the French commander went to the tomb of Salaudin in the Great Mosque and
said: Nous revenons, Salaudin! (We
are back, Salaudin!).
Post Second
World War, the western world encouraged substantial Muslim immigration
for cheap
labour in the wake of prosperity stimulated by the Marshall Plan. Muslim
intellectuals were encouraged to migrate west as ‘dissidents’ against their
respective national regimes (mostly West-supported dictatorships!). Muslim
integration into European civil society was not given a thought then; now
Muslims are a dissatisfied and vocal minority.
Integration
is now seen by both sides as accepting the Default Culture of the West, i.e.,
the culture of Christian Europe, and tailoring Islam to conform to
this culture.
[This formula works with Hindus in
America , Europe, the Gulf, and even
Australia , where Hindus cannot
understand the growing white animosity to their presence there. This is because
most Hindus sundered their links with religion and culture before
leaving the shores of Bharat,
egged on by ambitious parents who valued monetary success above
everything else;
a handful had other reasons].
But Islam is
the last of the Revealed Semitic Faiths – supposedly the Final and most perfect
Revelation – hence marginalised and besieged Muslim groups fight to
retain their
distinctive identity (hijab) and
traditions (multiple marriages, Sharia). Islam challenges western
secularism and
multi-cultural claims with its insistence to live in its own way on soil long
dominated by Christianity; the consequences of this increasing tension cannot
but be volatile.
As part of
its contest with Islam and quest for world dominion, the Christian-Colonial
world made early inroads into the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires. Jesuit
monk Rudolf Acquaviva came to
Agra for religious debates at the invitation of
Emperor Akbar; the Delhi Diocese was established in the reign of Akbar.
Unnoticed by Indian historians, the white missionary and trader were fairly
entrenched in many strategic locations by the time the Mughal Empire formally
declined and the Maratha and Sikh Empires had peaked.
All this
ultimately deepened the religious conflict and triggered revivalist
movements in
Islam, which Europeans proved adept in penetrating and manipulating. Wahabi
Islam and indeed, all militant Muslim movements that have accompanied the rise
of Political Islam in the modern Colonial Era have intensified the de facto
disempowerment of the Muslim world, a reality Muslims cannot wish away, and to
which they accord a frustrated recognition.
Ayatollah
Khomeini’s success in overthrowing the pro-American Pehlavi dynasty failed to
quieten the seething discontent in the Islamic world. As pro-Western Sunni
regimes generally survived the growing radicalization of the Muslim world, the
Khomeini Revolution only intensified the Shia-Sunni divide.
In
India , the traditional
structures of Hindu society (jati,
varna ,
parampara, sampradaya) have the intrinsic elasticity to cope with and
contain sharply divergent cultural streams.
India ’s
unique civilisational ethos has learnt to co-exist with ethnic, racial, and
religious groups (Jews, Parsis, Muslims) that do not desire to be assimilated
into the dominant culture. Muslims have long been negotiating
political space while protecting
their religion and culture. This involved delicate balancing and was possible
only because, as Aristotle observed (Politics), Hindus were the only people
in the world to have successfully made dharma the basis of their public life.
To this day, this remains
India ’s default cultural trait; it
survived the colonial divide-and-rule that inhibited Muslims from
adjusting to a
larger pan-Indian unity.
The
Christian West is incapable of accommodating the growing assertion of
socio-cultural-religious identity by its Muslim population. Hence cultural
pluralism, the suspension of the dominant cultural-civilisational framework so
other groups can find space to define themselves, has to make way for a more
overt assertion of Europe’s traditional Christian identity. In reaction,
pan-Islamism compresses the religious traditions of Muslim groups into a
one-dimensional Arabized identity to respond to the West’s economic-political
hegemony in Muslim countries and regions where Muslims are minority
populations.
As a
corollary, the overt assertion of the West’s Christian identity is a natural
extension of continuing Western economic, cultural, and religious imperialism.
Hence the rising budgets for evangelism in non-Christian countries like India,
Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Myanmar, but also Muslim regions like Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Indonesia (first East Timor, now Aceh), and our own Srinagar
Valley.
It is in
this context alone that one must view the frenzied French ban on head
scarves in
2004, on the plea that it involved the submission of women, and the even more
specious argument that the harsh lampooning of the Prophet in a Danish magazine
in 2005 was about free speech.
Pigeons come home to roost
For
Europe , the pigeons have come home to roost.
After decades of strenuous denial that religion is crucial in shaping national
identity, and that the religion and culture of the majority must
legitimately be
the dominant identity in multi-religious societies like
India , Europe is
in a blue funk trying to manufacture a discourse over national identity without
using the word ‘religion.’ Best of luck.
The truth is
that religion is the bedrock of identity, and religion always expresses itself
in culture. Islam cannot accept Christian culture without accepting Christian
faith.
Another
unpleasant truth is that religion cannot be kept out of the public domain,
because it is not an individual or family affair, but has social and community
aspects that demand expression and respect. The European Union’s 20 million
Muslims are giving goose-bumps to 500 million Christians. Long centuries of
familiarity and common descent from the Patriarch Abraham have failed
to yield a
common ground of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence. One country wants to
put the Cross on its national flag.
Things can
only get worse. The post 9/11 ‘War on Terror’ is viewed by both Muslims and
Christians as another Crusade – a symbol of the West’s failure to separate the
religious from the political.
For Islam,
this is a moment of catharsis and choice. Islam stands at a major crossroad in
its historical trajectory. Hitherto, it has been Janus-faced like the Greek god
who looked simultaneously east and west.
Those days
of luxury – of hating the west and hurting the east – are now over. To survive
as a viable religion, culture, polity, Islam must free its own lands
and peoples
from the vice-like grip of the Crusaders and the Capitalists who are its real
tormentors and oppressors. It must deny itself the temptation of
crushing ‘soft’
targets like
India that have the resilience and
the resources to bounce back and to hit back.
Islam will
do well to concentrate its fight on the Arabian peninsula, the European
mainland, and the United
States . Hindus should think in terms of
restoring the Hindu civilisational frontier up to eastern
Persia in the west,
Myanmar and
Nepal in the east and
Tibet in the
north.

Implications for credible minimum deterrence: PK Iyengar and other
signatories
By Express News Service
* 19 Dec 2009 01:29:00 AM IST***
SOON after the Pokhran-II tests on 11 May 1998, the scientists of the two
organisations concerned _ the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and the
Defense R&D Organisation (DRDO) _ had jointly evaluated the success of the
two tests _ the fission device (A – bomb) and the fusion device (H - bomb).
While former device performed perfectly, including creating a crater of the
expected size, the fusion device failed on many counts _ very low yield, no
crater etc.
International monitoring centres also recorded low intensity of shock waves,
resulting in low yield estimates _ estimates that were more in consonance
with the DRDO numbers. This was discussed among the BARC and DRDO scientists
involved _ and resulted in a dispute between them.
A detailed report submitted by DRDO to the Government fully corroborated its
original assessment ,viz. ,that, while the fission device worked
successfully as expected, the fusion device did not.
The recent revelations by K Santhanam, who was in charge of all of DRDO’s
activities at the site, testifies to this. By all accounts _ geological,
radiochemical as well as seismic - it is now quite clear that the fusion
device yielded a very low value of explosive power.
The articles by K Santhanam and Ashok Parthasarathi in `The Hindu’
(September 17 , 2009) and P K Iyengar in `Outlook’ (October 26, 2009) go
into considerable technical detail and present a credible case, beyond all
reasonable doubt, that the H – bomb tested on May 11, 1998 failed.
These findings are extremely serious for the security of the nation,
particularly in the context of our pronouncement of being a nuclear weapon
power, along with our enunciated doctrine of ‘no first use’ and our
‘unilateral voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing’. They strike at the
root of our weaponisation capability and compromise our strategy of Credible
Minimum Nuclear Deterrence.
``Soon after the Pokhran-II tests, the then government almost succumbed to
the western pressure to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT)
backing off only at the last moment due to an outcry in the country against
doing so. The refusal of the US Senate to ratify the CTBT then released the
pressure on the government. The renewed pressure from Obama on us in recent
months to sign the CTBT is causing the issue of our signing the CTBT to be
raised again. We strongly urge the present government to remain firm in its
opposition to our doing so as the Prime Minister has publicly assured the
nation more than once in recent months.’’ Obama has actually gone further
than trying to secure universal adherence to the CTBT, and secured a UN
Security Council Resolution urging such adherence to the Nuclear Non
Proliferation Treaty (NPT) also. Not signing the highly discriminatory NPT
has been an article of faith of all our governments – irrespective of hues –
since the Treaty was drawn up in 1968. The present government, we strongly
urge again, should continue that policy steadfastly, despite whatever
threats and blandishments are applied to it. Even the slightest succumbing
would convert our ‘voluntary moratorium’ into an involuntary, permanent,
cessation of nuclear weapon testing and so forever deny us our legitimate
place in the great powers’ league.
The international political and diplomatic aspects as set out in the
previous para apart, the grave situation we are in regarding our
Thermonuclear (H-bomb) Capability.
It demands resolute, speedy and comprehensive corrective action.
We are well aware of the nature, sources and scales of nuclear threats the
nation faces. To meet that threat effectively, an indepth analysis of our
real capabilities in terms of: Command & control systems, nuclear weapon
delivery systems and the types, character and numbers of nuclear weapons
needing to constitute our nuclear arsenal and the keeping of that arsenal
up-to-date, is essential - indeed acutely pressing.
To address these issues and take well informed competent and speedy
decisions instead of depending entirely on the existing bureaucracy,
administrative, military and scientific, it is essential to have the
involvement, on a continuing basis, of a wide variety of opinions and
assessments from scientists, strategic analysts and defense & diplomatic
personnel with a deep understanding of the many complex issues involved,
including the technologies needed to be developed, and the minimum timescale
in which this can be achieved.
While secrecy is crucial, an open mind and willingness to learn are equally
important. We therefore, strongly urge the government to immediately set up
a high-level, independent, broad- Based Panel of Experts to define and
monitor the implementation, on a continuing b sis, of an effective course of
action, in the realm of thermonuclear weapons, so central to our national
security.
All of us have worked on different aspects of this problem with a sound
understanding of the harsh ground realities and the immense magnitude of
what is at stake. It is now for the government to take the call – and
without losing a minute more – as its counterparts in our adversaries have
and are continuing to do so.

Evidence for Ram Mandir in Ayodhya
Evidence for Ram Mandir in Ayodhya: BB Lal
The evidence marshaled by Dr. BB Lal is emphatic. (B.B. Lal, 2008, Rama: his
historicity, mandir and Setu: evidence of literature, archaeology and other
sciences, New Delhi, Aryan Books International.)
There were temples below the structure where Babari dhaancha stood.
The chapter in BB Lal's book is titled: ‘Was there a temple in the
Janmabhumi area at Ayodhya preceding the construction of the Babari Masjid?’

http://www.docstoc.com/docs/19263264/ayodhya1 Appendix
from BB Lal's book (Inscription read by KV Ramesh) This is Appendix II
referred to in Chapter II of BB Lal’s book.
BB Lal's summing up is emphatic and unambiguous, expressed in anguish, but
in subdued tones: “The evidence presented in the foregoing paragraphs in
respect of the existence of a Hindu temple in the Janmabhumi area at Ayodhya
preceding the construction of the Babari Masjid is so eloquent that no
further comments are necessary. Unfortunately, the basic problem with a
certain category of historians and archaeologists – and others of the same
ilk – is that seeing they see not or knowingly they ignore. Anyway, in spite
of them the truth has revealed itself.”
kalyanaraman
Govt. should file affidavit in SC: Swamy.
December 11, 2009.
*Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President of the Janata Party. *
The Report of the Liberhan Commission of Inquiry, unwittingly and
ironically, supports the VHP’s case for a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
In Chapter 15 (Recommendations), Page 978, Para 176.5, the Commission
states: “…..The question whether a structure was a temple or a mosque can
only be answered by a scientific study by archaeologists, historians and
anthropologists.” This is precisely the VHP’s stated position for the last
25 years.
The Allahabad High Court on VHP’s petition in the year 2002 got
extensive investigation done at the disputed site through scientific GPR
Survey and archaeological excavations. Vide orders, dated August 01, 2002
and October 23, 2002, the High Court Bench asked the Archaeological Survey
of India (ASI) to carry out Ground Penetrating Radar Survey/Geo-radiology
Survey (GPR) of the disputed land, so as to ascertain possibility of proof
of remnants of some earlier structure. In compliance of these orders, the
ASI, with the help of Tozo Vikas International Pvt. Ltd. undertook this
exercise.
The High Court thereafter *suo moto* passed a detailed order on March
05, 2003, issuing a commission to ASI to investigate into the matter by
excavating the relevant area of the disputed land. The ASI took about five
months in carrying out the excavation work and thereafter submitted a bulky
report in two volumes together with 45 site notebooks, 12 albums containing
329 black & white photographs, 28 albums having coloured photographs, 11
video cassettes, 6 DVD cassettes, registers of pottery, unsealed bones,
architectural objects stored in tin-shed at the excavated site, individual
list of 9 boxes containing bones, glazed wares, antiquities, day-to-day
registers, antiquity register etc., etc..
In this excavation report (Ayodhya 2002-03, Vol.1 text, Chapter-X,
Summary of Results, Page Nos. 268-269, 270, 271 and 272), the ASI states in
the last paragraph: “…….Now viewing in totality and taking into account the
archaeological evidence of a massive structure just below the disputed
structure and evidence of continuity in structural phases from 10th Century
onwards up to the construction of the disputed structure along with the
yield of stone and decorated bricks as well as mutilated sculpture of divine
couple and carved architectural members including foliage patterns, Amlaka,
Kapotapali, Door Jamb, and semi-circular plaster, broken octagonal shaft of
black schist pillar, lotus motif, circular shrine having Pranala (water
chute) in the North, 50 pillar bases in association of a hue structure, *are
indicative of remains which are distinctive features found associated with
the temples of North India.**”*
Other observations of the Liberhan Commission too support the VHP case
for a Rama temple at the disputed site:
In Chapter No.2 (Ayodhya & its Geography) page No. 23 the Liberhan Report
says:
Para 9.1: “Ayodhya is accepted in popular Hindu tradition as the birthplace
of the Hindu God Rama and is therefore regarded as a holy and historical
city.”
Para 9.2: “Ancient Ayodhya was traditionally the epitome of Hindu life,
culture and a paradigm of coexistence of a multi-religious society. It was a
peaceful place with a regular influx of visitors pilgrims, Sadhus and Sants,
monks, travelers, tourists.”
9.3: “Ayodhya was also known variously as Vishala, Khosla (sic) or Maha
Khosla, Ikshvaku, Ram Puri, Ram Janam Bhoomi.
9.4: “Ayodhya is of special and specific importance for the sect of Ram
believers or those loosely term as the Ramanandis in Hindu Religion. The
place was the place of unequaled pilgrimage for Hindus, Monks, travelers,
pilgrims, sadhus & sants irrespective of their region & faith.”
9.5: “This place had become emotive issue owing to its position as the birth
place of Ram, a theme present in every facet of the culture, connecting the
past with the present & the future, this religious fervour had kept the town
for centuries alive after successive rulers had gone by”.
Page 25, Para-10.3: “On the East of Ayodhya is Faizabad town with a
population of about 2,10,000. It has large number of temples mostly
dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu.”
Page 26, Para-10.10: “The town is currently inhibited (sic) (means
inhabited!) with a multi-religious population consisting of Muslims,
Buddhist, Sikhs, Christians, Jains, etc., but the majority of the population
is Hindu. The temples were open to public of all denominations.”
Page 29, Para 12.1: “There are large numbers of temples, mosques, shrines,
tombs, gardens and other religious monuments spread over a large area:
rather, metaphorically it is said that in Ayodhya every house is a temple.”
Page 29, Para 12.2: “Prominent temples were Sankat Mochan Mandir, Shakti
Gopal Mandir, Shesh Avatar temple, Ved Mandir, Maniram Ki Chawni, Hanuman
Garhi, Pr3eethi Ke Thakur, Kanak Bhawan, Rang Mahal, Anand Bhawan, and
Kaushalya Bhavan…….”
Paga 32, Para 12.12: “The topography and facts about Ram Katha Kunj, Ayodhya
town or the Ram Janambhoomi complex or Ram Katha Kunj or the disputed
structure are however not disputed. The facts are corroborated by NC Padhi
in his statement with no contradiction.”
Hence, since the Union Government has accepted the Liberhan Commission
Report and this Report, read with the Supreme Court’s 1994 Constitutional
Bench judgment in the Farooqui case, that a mosque *is not an essential part
of Islam *but a facilitation center for reading of namaz, hence any
government can acquire any mosque for a public purpose and even demolish it,
I demand therefore the Government file an affidavit in the Supreme
Court declaring that it will acquire the disputed area in Ayodhya and hand
it over to the sants and sadhus associated with the VHP enable Hindus to
organize a Rama temple restoration at the original birth site of Lord Rama.

BB Lal's summing up is emphatic and unambiguous, expressed in anguish, but
in subdued tones: “The evidence presented in the foregoing paragraphs in
respect of the existence of a Hindu temple in the Janmabhumi area at Ayodhya
preceding the construction of the Babari Masjid is so eloquent that no
further comments are necessary. Unfortunately, the basic problem with a
certain category of historians and archaeologists – and others of the same
ilk – is that seeing they see not or knowingly they ignore. Anyway, in spite
of them the truth has revealed itself.”

Govt. should file affidavit in SC: Swamy.
December 11, 2009.
*Statement of Dr. Subramanian Swamy, President of the Janata Party. *
The Report of the Liberhan Commission of Inquiry, unwittingly and
ironically, supports the VHP’s case for a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
In Chapter 15 (Recommendations), Page 978, Para 176.5, the Commission
states: “…..The question whether a structure was a temple or a mosque can
only be answered by a scientific study by archaeologists, historians and
anthropologists.” This is precisely the VHP’s stated position for the last
25 years.
The Allahabad High Court on VHP’s petition in the year 2002 got
extensive investigation done at the disputed site through scientific GPR
Survey and archaeological excavations. Vide orders, dated August 01, 2002
and October 23, 2002, the High Court Bench asked the Archaeological Survey
of India (ASI) to carry out Ground Penetrating Radar Survey/Geo-radiology
Survey (GPR) of the disputed land, so as to ascertain possibility of proof
of remnants of some earlier structure. In compliance of these orders, the
ASI, with the help of Tozo Vikas International Pvt. Ltd. undertook this
exercise.
The High Court thereafter *suo moto* passed a detailed order on March
05, 2003, issuing a commission to ASI to investigate into the matter by
excavating the relevant area of the disputed land. The ASI took about five
months in carrying out the excavation work and thereafter submitted a bulky
report in two volumes together with 45 site notebooks, 12 albums containing
329 black & white photographs, 28 albums having coloured photographs, 11
video cassettes, 6 DVD cassettes, registers of pottery, unsealed bones,
architectural objects stored in tin-shed at the excavated site, individual
list of 9 boxes containing bones, glazed wares, antiquities, day-to-day
registers, antiquity register etc., etc..
In this excavation report (Ayodhya 2002-03, Vol.1 text, Chapter-X,
Summary of Results, Page Nos. 268-269, 270, 271 and 272), the ASI states in
the last paragraph: “…….Now viewing in totality and taking into account the
archaeological evidence of a massive structure just below the disputed
structure and evidence of continuity in structural phases from 10th Century
onwards up to the construction of the disputed structure along with the
yield of stone and decorated bricks as well as mutilated sculpture of divine
couple and carved architectural members including foliage patterns, Amlaka,
Kapotapali, Door Jamb, and semi-circular plaster, broken octagonal shaft of
black schist pillar, lotus motif, circular shrine having Pranala (water
chute) in the North, 50 pillar bases in association of a hue structure, *are
indicative of remains which are distinctive features found associated with
the temples of North India.**”*
Other observations of the Liberhan Commission too support the VHP case
for a Rama temple at the disputed site:
In Chapter No.2 (Ayodhya & its Geography) page No. 23 the Liberhan Report
says:
Para 9.1: “Ayodhya is accepted in popular Hindu tradition as the birthplace
of the Hindu God Rama and is therefore regarded as a holy and historical
city.”
Para 9.2: “Ancient Ayodhya was traditionally the epitome of Hindu life,
culture and a paradigm of coexistence of a multi-religious society. It was a
peaceful place with a regular influx of visitors pilgrims, Sadhus and Sants,
monks, travelers, tourists.”
9.3: “Ayodhya was also known variously as Vishala, Khosla (sic) or Maha
Khosla, Ikshvaku, Ram Puri, Ram Janam Bhoomi.
9.4: “Ayodhya is of special and specific importance for the sect of Ram
believers or those loosely term as the Ramanandis in Hindu Religion. The
place was the place of unequaled pilgrimage for Hindus, Monks, travelers,
pilgrims, sadhus & sants irrespective of their region & faith.”
9.5: “This place had become emotive issue owing to its position as the birth
place of Ram, a theme present in every facet of the culture, connecting the
past with the present & the future, this religious fervour had kept the town
for centuries alive after successive rulers had gone by”.
Page 25, Para-10.3: “On the East of Ayodhya is Faizabad town with a
population of about 2,10,000. It has large number of temples mostly
dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu.”
Page 26, Para-10.10: “The town is currently inhibited (sic) (means
inhabited!) with a multi-religious population consisting of Muslims,
Buddhist, Sikhs, Christians, Jains, etc., but the majority of the population
is Hindu. The temples were open to public of all denominations.”
Page 29, Para 12.1: “There are large numbers of temples, mosques, shrines,
tombs, gardens and other religious monuments spread over a large area:
rather, metaphorically it is said that in Ayodhya every house is a temple.”
Page 29, Para 12.2: “Prominent temples were Sankat Mochan Mandir, Shakti
Gopal Mandir, Shesh Avatar temple, Ved Mandir, Maniram Ki Chawni, Hanuman
Garhi, Pr3eethi Ke Thakur, Kanak Bhawan, Rang Mahal, Anand Bhawan, and
Kaushalya Bhavan…….”
Paga 32, Para 12.12: “The topography and facts about Ram Katha Kunj, Ayodhya
town or the Ram Janambhoomi complex or Ram Katha Kunj or the disputed
structure are however not disputed. The facts are corroborated by NC Padhi
in his statement with no contradiction.”
Hence, since the Union Government has accepted the Liberhan Commission
Report and this Report, read with the Supreme Court’s 1994 Constitutional
Bench judgment in the Farooqui case, that a mosque *is not an essential part
of Islam *but a facilitation center for reading of namaz, hence any
government can acquire any mosque for a public purpose and even demolish it,
I demand therefore the Government file an affidavit in the Supreme
Court declaring that it will acquire the disputed area in Ayodhya and hand
it over to the sants and sadhus associated with the VHP enable Hindus to
organize a Rama temple restoration at the original birth site of Lord Rama.

Ayodhya, the evidence
The UPA government led by Sonia Gandhi with spokespersons like P. Chidambaram may get away with their half-truths and avoiding the core issue of Rama Mandiram in Ayodhya, by claiming that the issue of rebuilding Shri Rama Mandiram in Ayodhya is subjudice. Maybe subjudice, but it does not prevent the citizens of India from asserting the evidence about two destroyed Hindu temples by muslim jihadists, an area where the Babari dhaancha was later built.
The evidence marshaled by Dr. BB Lal is emphatic. There were temples below the structure where Babari dhaancha stood.
It is a travesty of justice that the justice system in Hindusthan is still dithering and not rendering justice to the Hindus who demand the building of Rama Mandiram at Ayodhya. There is no bar in Sharia law to relocate masjids, even assuming that Babari dhaancha was a masjid. Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries do such relocations of masjids on a regular basis.

His summing up is emphatic and unambiguous, expressed in anguish, but in subdued tones: “The evidence presented in the foregoing paragraphs in respect of the existence of a Hindu temple in the Janmabhumi area at Ayodhya preceding the construction of the Babari Masjid is so eloquent that no further comments are necessary.

Anyway, in spite of them the truth has revealed itself.”
Arun Shourie devotes a complete chapter to DN Jha, one historian of this category of historians. Read http://www.docstoc.com/docs/19
Is it worth the effort to debunk a self-styled historian who says 1. that Lord Indra is ‘rowdy and amoral’; 2. that the God Krishna has a ‘rather questionable personal record.’; 3. that Lord Shiva is just ‘a development of phallic cults.’; 4. that bhakti is just the reflection of ‘the complete dependence of the serfs or tenants on the landowners in the context of Indian feudal society’. This Marxian view of history lead historians of the ilk of DN Jha to a pathetic, perverted state requiring only psychiatric help. Anyway, Arun Shourie has demolished the bogus interpretative frauds perpetrated by DN Jha in the name of history.
Sitaram Goel has analysed the state of communists writing Indian history.
The following extracts from Arun Shorie’s and Sitaram Goel’s books speak for themselves and expose the historian ilk of the DN Jha type:
EXTRACTS FROM THE BOOK: "EMINENT HISTORIANS: THEIR TECHNOLOGY, THEIR LINE, THEIR FRAUD " - ARUN SHOURIE - RUPA & CO
THE DOUBLE SPEAK ON THE “INDIAN COUNCIL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH” (ICHR)
INTRODUCTION
1. “In JUN-JUL, 1998, progressives kicked up quite a racket. The government has packed the ICHR with pro-Ram-Mandir historians, they shouted. It has surreptitiously altered the aims and objectives of the Council, they shouted.” AS IS THEIR WONT,THEY SPARKED THE COMMOTION BY GIVING WIND TO A CONCOTION. As is their wont too, THEY WERE CHARGING OTHERS WITH ‘planning’ to do in‘some undefined future’what they had themselves been actually doing for decades- that is WRITE HISTORY TO A PURPOSE”
2. “The commotion led me(ARUN SHOURIE) to look into their record-to look at what they had made of an institution like the ICHR, and to read textbooks they had authored. They have used them to have a COMFORTABLE TIME, of course. They have used them to puff up each other’s reputations, of course. But the worst of it is that they used THEIR CONTROL OF THESE INSTITUTIONS TO PERVERT PUBLIC DISCOURSE, AND THEREBY DERAIL PUBLIC POLICY.”
3. “ They have made out India to have been AN EMPTY LAND- filled by successive invaders. They have made present-dayIndia, AND HINDUISM more so, OUT TO BE A ZOO- AN AGGLOMERATION OF ASSORTED DISPARATE SPECIMENS. NO SUCH THING AS ‘INDIA’, just a geographical expression, just a construct of the British, NO SUCH THING AS HINDUISM,just a word used by the Arabs to describe the assortment they encountered, just an invention of the COMMUNALISTS to impose a uniformity- THAT HAS BEEN THEIR STANCE. For this they have BLACKENED THE HINDU PERIOD OF OUR HISTORY, AND, STRAINED TOWHITEWASH THE ISLAMIC PERIOD.They have denounced ancient India’s social system as the epitomy of oppression, and MADE TOTALITARIAN IDEOLOGIES OUT TO BE EGALITARIAN AND JUST. They have belittled OUR ANCIENT CULTURE AND EXAGGERATED SYNCRETISTIC ELEMENTS which survived and made them out to have beenAN ENTIRE CULTURE, THE COMPOSITE CULTURE, as THEY CALL IT. AND ALL THE WHILE THEY HAVE TAKEN CARE TO HIDE THE CENTRAL FACTS ABOUT THESE COMMON ELEMENTS IN THE LIFE OF OUR PEOPLE: THAT THEY HAVE SURVIVED IN SPITE OF THE MOST STRENUOUS EFFORTS SPREAD OVER A THOUSAND YEARS OF ISLAMIC RULERS AND THE ULEMA TO ERASE THEM, THAT THEY HAVE SURVIVED IN SPITE OF SUSTAINED EFFORTS DURING THE LAST ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OF MISSIONARIES AND BRITISH RULERS TO MAKE US FORGET AND SHED THESE ELEMENTS, THAT THESE ELEMENTS HAD SURVIVED THEIR EFFORTS TO INSTEAD INFLAME EACH SECTION TO SEE ITS ‘IDENTITY’ AND ESSENCE IN FACTORS WHICH, IF INTERNALISED, WOULD SET IT APART. Most of all, these INTELLECTUALS AND THE LIKE have completely diverted public view from the activities in our day of organizations likeTABHLIGI JAMAAT and the CHURCH which are exerting every nerve, and deploying unaccounted resources to get their adherents to discard every practice and belief WHICH THEY SHARE WITH THEIR HINDU NEIGHBOURS.”
4. “ These intellectuals and their patrons have worked a DIABOLIC INVERSION: the inclusive religion, the pluralist spiritual search of our people and land, they have projected as INTOLERANT, NARROW-MINDED AND OBSCURANTIST; and THE EXCLUSIVIST, TOTALITARIAN, REVELATORY RELIGIONS AND IDEOLOGIES- ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY AND MARXISM-LENINISM-THEY HAVE MADE OUT TO BE THE EPITOMES OF TOLERANCE, OPEN-MINDEDNESS, DEMOCRACY, SECULARISM!” THAT,IS THEIR CRIME!
THE DOUBLE-SPEAK ON ICHR
AND
THE MEDIA SPIN
THE OLD AND NEW PALL-BEARERS
5. “ ‘RATIONAL vs NATIONAL’, screamed the headline of the new pall - bearer of secularism, the magazine OUTLOOK. Fresh evidence available with OUTLOOK reveals that NOT ONLY has the ICHR beenpacked with sympathizers, the story announced, but a new statement of objectives or resolution has been added, changing certain key words from the original Memorandum of Association of 1972, legitimized by an Act of Parliament. While the original Memorandum of Association states that ICHR’s aims would be to give ‘rational’( please MARK this word, as it assumes importance as this narrative progresses)direction to historical research and foster ‘ an objective and scientific writing of history’, the new resolution, which will be included in theGAZETTE of INDIA, states that ICHR now seeks to give a ‘national’( please mark this word also!)direction to an ‘objective and national presentation of history’. So, ‘RATIONAL’ has been CHANGED TO ‘ NATIONAL’, and ‘SCIENTIFIC’ too has been CHANGED TO ‘NATIONAL’----.” (MY COMMENT: WELL DONE MR. (SECULAR) VINOD MEHTA)
6. “ ‘TAMPERING WITH HISTORY’, proclaimed theold pall – bearer, THE HINDU.
‘ Apprehensions of this kind ( that the fabled SANGH PARIVAR is out to rewrite history) have been substantiated by a related decision. The resolution by the Ministry of Human Resources Development- nodal Ministry under which the ICHR comes- that details new nominations carries with it an amendment to the Memorandum of Association by which the ICHR was set up; while the institution was set up ‘ to foster objective and scientific writing of history such as will inculcate an informed appreciation of the country’s national and cultural heritage’, the new Government’s mandate is that ICHR will give a ‘NATIONAL DIRECTION’ to an ‘OBJECTIVE AND NATIONAL PRESENTATION AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY’. This amendment is certainly NOT JUST A MATTER OF SEMANTICS. Instead, one can clearly see in this AN INTENTION ON THE PART OF THE BJP-LED GOVERNMENT TO REWRITE HISTORY’----.( MY COMMENT:THUS SPOKE MOUNT ROAD MAHA VISHNU!! AS THIS NARRATIVE PROGRESSES THE READER WILL CLEARLY SEE THE ‘FRAUD’ PERPETRATED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE SECULAR ENGLISH MEDIA!! THE 21STCENTURY ‘PALL-BEARERS’ OF SECULARISM!!)
7. “ The next issue of the CPI (M) mouthpiece PEOPLE’SDEMOCRACY , reproduced this editorial! (MY COMMENT: of THE HINDU- ANY WONDER THEN DR. KOENRAAD ELST CALLS THE HINDU-A COMMUNIST NEWSPAPER AND THE FRONTLINE A MARXIST PUBLICATION!!) And carried with it an Article by ONE OF THE RING LEADERS, K. N. PANIKKAR. ‘SAFFRONISATION of HISTORICAL RESEARCH’, proclaimed the heading. Panikkar repeated the charge of the word ‘RATIONAL’ having been replaced by ‘NATIONAL’. He added another: the Memorandum of Association of the ICHR mentions five objectives, he said, but the RESOLUTION PUT OUT BY THE SAFFRON BRIGADE MENTIONS ONLY TWO.” (MY COMMENT: PLEASE NOTE THIS ALSO- 5 BECOMES 2!!)
8. SUMMARY OF THE ‘SECULAR’ CHARGE SHEET!! “ Thus
the charge rested on three bits of ‘evidence’: that the Memorandum of Association of the ICHR had BEEN CHANGED; SECOND- that a WORD- ‘RATIONAL’- in the Resolution announcing the new members of the ICHR had been SURREPTITIOUSLY replaced by another WORD-‘ NATIONAL’; THIRD- that while the original Memorandum of Association had specified five objectives for the ICHR, the new Resolution CUT OUT THREE of these.” (MY COMMENT: THE GREAT INDIAN ROPE TRICK-FIVE TO THREE!!)
SHOURIE’S INVESTIGATION.
9. “ Having been educated by THE HINDU that the ‘nodal ministry’ for the matter was the Ministry of Human Resources Development, I (SHOURIE) rang up the SECRETARY of that Ministry. Has the Memorandum of Association of the ICHR been changed?, I asked.NO, he said. IT HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED, he said.”
10. And what of the WHODUNIT MYSTERY- RATIONAL BEING CHANGED TO NATIONAL?!! SHOURIE writes. “ I have before me the statement of the Ministry of Human Resources Development ( NO: F-30-28/86-U3) Dated 06 OCTOBER 1987, THAT IS ELEVEN YEARS AGO. It gives the text of the Resolution of the Government of India announcing the new members- announcing, among other things, that Irfan Habib is being appointed as Chairman with retrospective effect from 09 SEPTEMBER 1986. The corresponding expression in it is, ‘ TO GIVE A ‘NATIONAL’ DIRECTION TO AN OBJECTIVE AND NATIONAL PRESENTATION AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY’( MY COMMENT: AND WHAT DID THE OLD AND NEW PALL BEARERS WRITE ABOVE? THE SECULAR FRAUDS!!) AGAIN. “ I (SHOURIE) have before me the statement of the Ministry of Human Resources Development ( NO: F-30-13/89-U3) dated 15 MAY 1991. It gives the text of the Resolution of the Government of India announcing the new members- announcing, among other things, that Irfan Habib is being re-appointed as Chairman with retrospective effect from 12 MARCH 1990. The corresponding expression in it is, ‘ TO GIVE A NATIONAL DIRECTION TO AN OBJECTIVE AND NATIONAL PRESENTATION AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY’. To test my hypothesis yet again, I looked for and obtained the immediately preceding statement of the Ministry. It bore the number F-30-3/94-U3 dated 08 SEPTEMBER 1994. Like the others, it furnished the text of the Resolution of the Government of India announcing the new members- announcing, among other things, that RAVINDER KUMAR, another ‘historian’ of the SAME HUE, was being appointed as Chairman with retrospective effect from 08 SEPTEMBER 1990. The corresponding expression in it was, ‘ TO GIVE A NATIONAL DIRECTION TO AN OBJECTIVE AND NATIONAL PRESENTATION AND INTERPRETATION OF HISTORY’ (MY COMMENT: WHAT AN HONEST AND A ‘SECULAR’ ENGLISH MEDIA WE ARE BLESSED WITH!!)
11. On a request from ARUN SHOURIE, the Secretary in theUnion Ministry of Human Resources Development, traced the RESOLUTIONS of the EARLIER YEARS-UPTO 1978. AND-EACH OF THEM CARRIED THE SAME WORDS!! (MY COMMENT: THE ‘COMMIES’ ARE INVETERATE ‘LIARS’. THAT’S THE LESSON TO BE LEARNT. I LEARNT IT MANY YEARS AGO IN THE ERSTWHILE U.S.S.R.)
12. THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR. “ The research of the Secretary and his colleagues established that- to reproduce the word of the Secretary used- the whole mystery had arisen from a
' TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR’: some typist banging away on his typewriter some TWENTY YEARS AGO typed ‘RATIONAL’ as ‘NATIONAL’! As each typist, when asked to type the subsequent Resolution,COPIED THE PRECEDING ONE, THAT WORD CONTINUED TO BE TYPED AS ‘NATIONAL’ YEAR AFTER YEAR!! THE LEFTISTS INFERRED NO CONSPIRACY. But lo and behold, now that a BJP Government was in power, inferring conspiracies- to use their favourite phrase- WAS A HISTORICAL NECESSITY. IT WAS OBJECTIVE HISTORY! IT WAS PROGRESSIVE METHODOLOGY!!
13. THE RESPONSE OF OUR ‘SECULAR’ AND HONEST(?)
EDITORS.!! “ I (SHOURIE) rang UP Vinod Mehta, the Editor of OUTLOOK and PRESIDENT OF THE EDITORS GUILD OF INDIA. ‘ But the reporter says she has the text and everything,’ he said. I narrated what I had found. He promised to check and get back to me. When we talked again he said he had sent me the text of the Resolution. BUT THAT WAS THE CURRENT ONE. My point had been that the ‘change’ on which OUTLOOKhad built its story had existedin all the Resolutions for at least TWENTY YEARS. HE SAID HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. HE NEVER DID. NOR DID THE SENIOR JOURNALISTS OF TWO OTHER PUBLICATIONS THAT HAD BUILT THEIR STORIES ON THE FABRICATION, AND WHO, AFTER I REQUESTED THEM TO ASCERTAIN THE BASIS OF THEIR ACCOUNTS, HAD PROMISED TO GET BACK TO ME.”( MY COMMENT: THE SECULARISTS LIE THROUGH EVERY PORE IN THEIR ANATOMY!!)
14. AND WHAT OF ‘FIVE’ BECOMING ‘TWO’? “ The exact same thing held for THE FABRICATION of K.N. PANIKKAR: about five objectives having become two. In every single one of the Resolutions- including the 1994 Resolution under which PANIKKAR had himself been nominated to the ICHR, a Resolution he can find printed at page 32 of the GAZETTE of INDIA, 22 OCTOBER 1994, THE EXACT SAME SENTENCES HAD BEEN USED: ONLY THOSE OBJECTIVES HAD BEEN MENTIONED AS WERE MENTIONED IN THE RESOLUTION ISSUED IN 1998!!! And another thing: If an RSS publication publishes even an interview with me (SHOURIE), that is further proof of my being COMMUNAL; but so tough are the hymen of these progressives that, even when they contribute signed Articles to publications of the Communist Party, THEIR VIRGINITY REMAINS INTACT.”
THE OTHER CHARGE- ICHR PACKED WITH ‘RAM BAKHTS’!!
15. “ The associated charge, repeated in the OUTLOOK and all the other publications, was that historians who had now been nominated to the ICHR were the ones that supported the proposition that there had been a Ram-temple at Ayodhya before it was replaced by the Babri Mosque. Assume that the charge was entirely correct. What about the members who had NOT BEEN RE-NOMINATED? THEY WERE THE INTELLECTUAL GUIDES AND PROPAGANDISTS OF THE BABRI MASJID ACTION COMMITTEE. Not only were these ‘historians’ the advisers of the BABRI MASJID ACTION COMMITTEE, its advocates in the negotiations, they simultaneously issued all sorts of statements supporting the BABRI MASJID ACTION COMMITTEE’S case-WHICH WAS THE CASE THEY HAD THEMSELVES PREPARED! A well- practiced technique, if I may say so: THEY ARE FROM A SCHOOL IN WHICH MEMBERS HAVE MADE EACH OTHER FAMOUS BY APPLAUDING EACH OTHERS BOOKS AND ‘THESES’!!( MY COMMENT: A CLASSIC CASE OF ‘YOU SCRATCH MY BACK- I SCRATCH YOURS!!)
16. “And these very ‘historians’ are ‘cited’ as witnesses in the pleadings filed by the SUNNI WAQF BOARD in the courts which are considering the Ayodhya matter!!!
- Witness number 63: R.S. SHARMA.
- Witness number 64: Suraj Bhan
- Witness number 65: D,N. Jha
- Witness number 66: Romila Thapar
- Witness number 67: Athar Ali (since deceased)
- Witness number70: Irfan Habib (ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY)
- Witness number 71: Shireen Moosvi ( also AMU)
- Witness number 72: B.N Pandey (since deceased)
- Witness number 74: R.L. Shukla
- Witness number 82: Sushil Srivastava
- Witness number 95: K.M. Shrimali
- Witness number 96: Suveera Jayaswal
- Witness number 99: Satish Chandra
- Witness number 101: Sumit Sarkar
- Witness number 102: Gyanendra Pandey
17. “ Their deceitful role in Ayodhya- which in the end harmed their clients more than anyone else- was just symptomatic. FOR FIFTY YEARS THIS BUNCH HAS BEEN SUPPRESSING FACTS AND ‘INVENTING LIES’. How concerned they pretend to be today about the objective of the ICHR- to promote objective and rational research into events of our past! The capture of institutions like the ICHR has been bad enough, but in the end it has been a device. The major CRIME of these ‘historians’ has been this partisanship:SUPPRESSO VERI, SUGGESTO FALSI.”
CONCLUSION
18. “ But these are not just partisan ‘historians’. THEY ARE NEPOTISTS OF THE FIRST ORDER. I had documented several years ago the doings of some of them in regard to appointments in the ALIGARHMUSLIM UNIVERSITY.T
19. And what was their response when their ‘fabrication’ was ‘nailed’? “ As unlike Shourie, who, a resident of Delhi, is a BJP M.P. from U.P.( MY COMMENT: SO WHAT? MANMOHAN SINGH IS AN M.P. FROM ASSAM!!) I am not a Member of Parliament, wrote their spokesman, Panikkar, ‘I HAVE NO MEANS TO ASCERTAIN FROM THE MNISTRY’ whether WHAT SHOURIE HAS WRITTEN IS TRUE!!!!!”( MY COMMENT: IF I AM A ‘COMMIE’- I HAVE UNTRAMELLED RIGHTS TO ‘LIE’ AND IT WILL BE CARRIED BY THE ‘SECULAR ENGLISH MEDIA’ FAITHFULLY!! BUT WHEN SHOURIE ‘NAILS’ ME I CANNOT ASCERTAIN HIS TRUTHFULLNESS!! ONLY THE ‘COMMIES’ ARE VESTED WITH SUCH A CONVOLUTED THOUGHT PROCESS!! REMEMBER THEIR PERFIDY IN ‘THE ONLY FATHERLAND’?)
20. “ A much favoured device: when caught peddling a ‘lie’, insinuate the other man is privileged!! And that, as you from the ‘toiling masses’, you cannot ascertain whether the facts he has stated are true. THEREFORE, WHAT YOU STATED MUST STAND AS FACT. Q.E.D.!!!!” (TO BE CONTINUED)
EXTRACTS FROM THE BOOK: "PERVERSION OF INDIA'S POLITICAL PARLANCE" - SITA RAM GOEL - VOICE OF INDIA
“ THE LANGUAGE OF COMMUNIST IMPERIALISM.’
1. “ The language of ‘COMMUNIST IMPERIALISM’ started trickling into Indiasoon after the BOLSHEVIKS seized power in Russia in November 1917. ‘LEADING WESTERN SCHOLARS LIKE BERTRAND RUSSELL HAVE IDENTIFIED COMMUNISM AS A CHRISTIAN HERESY’. SMALL WONDER THEN THAT THE LANGUAGE OF ‘COMMUNIST IMPERIALISM’ IS THE SAME AS THAT OF ‘CHRISTIAN IMPERIALISM’,EXCEPT FOR THE Marxist trappings in which Lenin has disguised it. This becomes obvious when we contemplate the following features:
- FORCES OF PRODUCTION, MATURING IN THE WOMB OF HISTORY, FOUND A MATCHLESS MIDWIFE IN COMRADE LENIN, AND A FIELD FOR THEIR FULLEST FREE-PLAY IN SOVIET RUSSIA AFTER THE REVOLUTION IN 1917.
- HISTORY, WHICH HAD SO FAR BEEN A ‘HISTORY OF CLASS OPPRESSION’ AND ‘CLASS STRUGGLE’, NOW TOOK A ‘DECISIVE TURN TOWARDS A CLASSLESS SOCIETY’.
- The whole world includingIndia became a battle-ground between ‘FORCES OF FUEDAL AND CAPITALIST REACTION’on the one hand, and, ‘FORCES OF PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION’ on the other.
- The ‘PROLETARIAT’ in every country, including India, became part of an ‘INTERNATIONALE’ COMARADERIE’ WHICH AHD NO USE FOR ‘NATIONALISM’ IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. (MY COMMENT: I had received on the NET from another e-group a disturbing message in the recent past. It involves the outcome of a debate in the J.N.U. The subject of the debate was “CHINA IS WRONG IN DEPICTING PARTS OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH AS ITS TERRITORY”. THE MOTION WAS ‘DEFEATED’ THANKS TO THE STUDENTS FEDERATION OF INDIA (SFI) A COMMUNIST STUDENTS UNION VOTING EN-MASSE AGAINST THE ‘MOTION’. DIDN’T OUR COMRADES DO THE SAME DURING 1962?)
- History has mandated the whole earth, including India, to the ‘COMMUNIST INTERNATIONALE’, THE VANGUARD OF THE WORLD PROLETARIAT, AND IT WAS THE INALIENABLE RIGHT INTERNATIONALE’ TO PROMOTE A PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION IN EVERY COUNTRY.
- The victory of the INTERNATIONALE’ was inevitable, and its sections in different countries should endeavour to expedite the end.
- History had pronounced as outmoded all existing political, social, cultural and economic institutions in India, and the COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA, a section of the COMMUNIST INTERNATIONALE’, SHOULD SMASH THEM SO THAT THE LAST VESTIGES OF FUEDALISM, CAPITALISM AND COLONIALISM WERE WIPED OUT.
- THE FEUDAL LORDS AND CAPITALISTS IN INDIA HAD CONSPIRED WITH BRITISH IMPERIALISM IN ORDER TO KEEP THE INDIAN PEOPLE ENSLAVED, AND THEY DESERVED TO BE DESTROYED TOGETHER WITH THEIR POLITICAL CONSPIRACY, - ‘THE INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS’.
2. “ This is not the place to tell how the CPI has functioned as a fifth-
column of Soviet Russia for nearly sixty seven years. ( FOOTNOTE: The author writes ‘ THIS WAS WRITTEN IN 1984. SINCE THEN THE SOVIET UNION HAS COLLAPSED). What is relevant in the present context is that, although the COMMUNISTS have failed to consolidate any substantial political base beyond West Bengal and Kerala, the spread of the language of COMMUNIST IMPERIALISM has been phenomenal . By now, this language has become the standard language of ‘SECULARISM IN INDIA’, whatever be the names by which various political parties and factions describe themselves.”
3. “ What is still more significant, the language of COMMUNIST
IMPERIALISM operates in close cooperation with the languages of Islamic, Christian and Western imperialism and has succeeded, for the time being, in silencing or putting on the defensive whatever is still left of the language of INDIAN NATIONALISM. This becomes crystal clear when we examine the history and role of the LEFTIST LANGUAGE EVER SINCE IT INVADED India in the early 1920’s.”
