GAUTIER below has been mailed  by Prof. Dr. Sanjay Kumar (1975) from
Muzaffarpur, which may be read as one good dispassionate analysis of a reality
prevailing today. The best possible opinion in any world citzen's mind from any
corner of the globe may be imagined -  that an Evolving Indian, either Hindu,
Muslim, Sikh, Isaai, Parasi, Budhist or for that matter any cast/subcaste,
Dalit, OBC, EBC - call what you may, can be a terrorist irrspective of education
or level of knowkledge acquired, is posed to a Globian, a Humanized Indian or
Eurpean or an Arabian or an Asian. Let us sing one single prayer for World
Unity:

Saadhak hain samata ke, satya, nyaya, karuna ke, Hind  prem sambal hai, vishwa
prem sadhya bana, jana jana mein jyoti jage,
sat, chit, anand sada,Vande he, sundar mam sakha - Netarhat sada!

Jai Hind! Jay Jagat!

Ishwar Allah tero naam, sabko sanmati de bhagwan!

An interesting report. Please go through,





The
Hindu Rate Of Wrath

When the Mahatma's cowards erupt in fury, it hurts. It
isn't terror.

Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the
arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the recent Malegaon blasts may
tend to prove? Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because I am
one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents— a lover of Hindus! A
born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given
some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents'
ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting
in South Asia (for Le Journal de Geneve and Le Figaro)..

In the early 1980s, when I started
freelancing in south India, doing photo features on kalaripayattu, the
Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of
this country lies in its Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind
Hinduism. The average Hindu you meet in a million villages possesses this
simple, innate spirituality and accepts your diversity, whether you are
Christian or Muslim, Jain or Arab, French or Chinese. It is this Hinduness
that makes the Indian Christian different from, say, a French Christian,
or the Indian Muslim unlike a Saudi Muslim. I also learnt that Hindus not
only believed that the divine could manifest itself at different times,
under different names, using different scriptures (not to mention the
wonderful avatar concept, the perfect answer to 21st century religious
strife) but that they had also given refuge to persecuted minorities from
across the world—Syrian Christians, Parsis, Jews, Armenians, and today,
Tibetans. In 3,500 years of existence, Hindus have never militarily
invaded another country, never tried to impose their religion on others by
force or induced conversions.

You cannot find anybody
less fundamentalist than a Hindu in the world and it saddens me when I see
the Indian and western press equating terrorist groups like simi, which
blow up innocent civilians, with ordinary, angry Hindus who burn churches
without killing anybody. We know also that most of these communal
incidents often involve persons from the same groups—often Dalits and
tribals—some of who have converted to Christianity and others
not.

However reprehensible the destruction of Babri Masjid, no
Muslim was killed in the process; compare this to the 'vengeance' bombings
of 1993 in Bombay, which wiped out hundreds of innocents, mostly Hindus.
Yet the Babri Masjid destruction is often described by journalists as the
more horrible act of the two. We also remember how Sharad Pawar, when he
was chief minister of Maharashtra in 1993, lied about a bomb that was
supposed to have gone off in a Muslim locality of Bombay.

I have
never been politically correct, but have always written what I have
discovered while reporting. Let me then be straightforward about this
so-called Hindu terror. Hindus, since the first Arab invasions, have been
at the receiving end of terrorism, whether it was by Timur, who killed
1,00,000 Hindus in a single day in 1399, or by the Portuguese Inquisition
which crucified Brahmins in Goa. Today, Hindus are still being targeted:
there were one million Hindus in the Kashmir valley in 1900; only a few
hundred remain, the rest having fled in terror. Blasts after blasts have
killed hundreds of innocent Hindus all over India in the last four years.
Hindus, the overwhelming majority community of this country, are being
made fun of, are despised, are deprived of the most basic facilities for
one of their most sacred pilgrimages in Amarnath while their government
heavily sponsors the Haj. They see their brothers and sisters converted to
Christianity through inducements and financial traps, see a harmless
84-year-old swami and a sadhvi brutally murdered. Their gods are
blasphemed.

So sometimes, enough is enough.At some
point, after years or even centuries of submitting like sheep to
slaughter, Hindus—whom the Mahatma once gently called cowards—erupt in
uncontrolled fury. And it hurts badly. It happened in Gujarat. It happened
in Jammu, then in Kandhamal, Mangalore, and Malegaon. It may happen again
elsewhere. What should be understood is that this is a spontaneous
revolution on the ground, by ordinary Hindus, without any planning from
the political leadership. Therefore, the BJP, instead of acting
embarrassed, should not disown those who choose other means to let their
anguished voices be heard.

There are about a billion Hindus, one in
every six persons on this planet. They form one of the most successful,
law-abiding and integrated communities in the world today. Can you call
them
terrorists?
