Q&A CONT...............

Q 10) What are your views on Islamic fundamentalism? You think Islam is a different religion as compared to other religions? Or you are not sure? Or do you treat all religions with equal contempt?

Ans. In my view, the basic aim of all religions in todays world is common – fool the common people for the personal benefit of few- the same thing Napoleon said many years before. Even Hinduism today is full of superstition and becoming fundamentalist day by day. Its exploitation based on caste system is unparallel in any other religion.

Now my view about Islam..... it is as stupid a religion as Judaism , Hinduism or Christianity. It also propagates many wrong things, other than good things like love all human beings. Mahummad left one of his many wives becoz she was left alone and came back with another caravan...they all are same.... preaching non sense..

And what makes Islam worst was its nature not to accept any criticism. And no wonder this makes Muslims allover the world most underdeveloped and illogical.... Since it was the youngest major religion to come in world, since its inception it is involved in wars and this makes it very much fundamentalist. But when Islam confronted Hinduism, which at that time was analogous to Humanism, it could not spread widely. This led to the midway between the two religions- the birth of Sufism and Bhakti cult . thus I believe in India the Islam is more moderate than Arabic one. The Deobandi and barelvy school of thought supports this. But due to inherent rigidity in Islam and being in minority , the fear factor in Muslims can be easily exploited! So it is for the majority to ensure that they get equal rights and don’t get alienated in their own country, else they could easily be driven to terrorism!


Q 11. You mentioned once that you used to subscribe to 'Hindu ideology' until you got familiar with Bhagat Singh's thoughts which turned you into a communist.Now thats very interesting if its true because my story is bit similar.When I was growing up,communism appealed to me very much but then few things happened and I started seeing the world
in new light and I turned into rightist (not a Hindu ideologue though).My question is what is that 'Hindu ideology' you subscribed to?

Ans. I think you must have been disillusioned by communism after seeing the so called pseudo-communist parties of India – the CPI (M) , CPI, etc whom as I described earlier -other bunch of jokers, those good for nothing who are completely opposite of a communist. A communist can never support SEZ and CPI (M) has killed its own people for SEZ in Nandigram and SIngur.

they do only bakwas and nothing else. they are pseudo communists like their Chinese brothers and Lula of Brazil who preach Communism and follow Capitalism. Muh mein Ram bagal mein Churi.....

Now my returning back to the Hinduism which I supported – I will write a full post on that later. As if now I can say I was just a fundamentalist who believed Hinduism is best religion and it is the solution to all the worlds problems. All schools should be Saraswati shishu mandir , all Muslims either converted or killed ! But now I know it was my mind which didn’t know how to think , it just used to accept things without questioning them or ever looking at facts and truth.





Q 12. Do you believe in democracy? Do you think it has been a success in our country?

Ans.) Yes I believe in true definition of democracy . of the people, by the people and for the people. Do u think we follow the true definition of democracy or its has become by the rich ( as they sponsor election campaign for all major parties) , of the rich ( most leaders and ministers are directly or indirectly obliged by industrialists) and for the rich ( all government machinery works so that rich can become richer).


I wonder if I need to elaborate that this type of khichdi democracy has been a failure in India. Ya we have got right to speak , but no action is taken , u keep saying whatever u want to as no one cares. Ministers are totally corrupt and just know how to fool people in elections on isues of religion , caste , reservation , 2 rs kg rice and now terrorism . No one wants poverty to go ……. As this will reduce their vote bank. No one wants people to be educated, else who will give them vote just for Rs 100. it is a business now.

Next is executive – who make policies to please the mantari ji o capitalist ji – after all they also want to be famous and rich. No need to talk about corruption.

Next is judiciary – which shows it is damn concerned about country by giving some good decisions. But inherently they have also become corrupt. There are millions of cases pending, innocent are their in jails while powerful criminals are roaming free. None of the ministers or political leader has been punished even after so many scandals.

READ THE GREAT INDIAN DREAM – MALAY CHAUDHARI for more on this and other issues before India


Country is reeling under poverty and hunger . India is 124th in human development Index , last few in child mortality , and last few in maternal death.. 60% earn below Rs 40 a day- do u think they can meet any of their basic needs. 40 crore people work in industrial unorganized sector, without any health and death benefit. Majority of famers are debt ridden and forced to suicide. Human trafficking is flourishing like anything. Middle class is lost in its own world . Middle class youth are more concerned about Sex and Fun then country and people. Naxalism, terrorism and Fascism are beoming stronger day by day. If things continue like this days are not far when we will be seeing a full grown civil war in India. I hope these links will be more than enough to prove what I am saying here is right!!

Q 13. You have shown your displeasure with all major political parties in India,including the communists.May I know who will you vote for then or you won't vote at all.(My honest guess is no matter what you say in public,you still prefer one over another)

Ans Sorry dude your guess is wrong , I do not vote for any party as none of them can make the changes I want to see in our society…. because this system itself is a sham, where years after years parties keep changing but the pathetic condition of peoples remain the same. This pseudo democracy ensures that elections are fought on stupid issues and the real power rests with the capitalists. While the poor remains poor and thus provides cheap labour to the rich.


Q 14 . As you know,radical Hindus always see everyone and every event as pro or anti-Hindu.Radical Islamists see the world as full of Muslims and non-Muslims.Communists have this tendency to see the world as full of peasants and landlords.Are you one of them? Do you think there are only three kinds of people in the world: peasants,landlords and middlemen? I still don't understand why you called Patel a landlord.


Ans what u means to say is that a particular idealism blinds the person and he cannot see beyond it. I fully agree with it, after all no one thinks his ideology or he is wrong! That is why I try to read articles from different persons of different ideologies, but still articles related to communism appeals to me most- as they talk about scientific progress of mankind. They don’t give some utopian dreams and give a definite path for human progress. Though the path has been hijacked by opportunists from Khrushchev, Den Xiaoping to CPI, CPI (M), Lula of today.

Well though not peasants and landlords India is divided into three societies – rich , middle class and poor .

And I will describe all three of them so that u can see them clearly yourself-
Rich: they own the world. They are the Tatas , Birlas and Ambanis , etc. Great books are written about them, how they changed the world and anything bad wriiten about them is banned. They are the real sources of power – the controllers of politics. they appear to be clean by never directly getting involved directly in politics. But they pull the strings from behind the curtain. The economic policies, the international politics, the labor laws, the privatization and even nationalism is controlled by them. The state works for them, the police ensures them protection and no one can question them. They are the favourite of media and always in limelight about the “intelligence” and “hard work “and never about their corrupt means and exploitive ways. They , their children , their families are above laws and resoning. They spend their nights in Page 3 parties and remain tensed on what to wear in next party, how to get richer from their brother, how to make most expensive home , and blab la. However due to the great sources they command they exploit the most resources and are less than 1% of the population.

[The Polyester Prince-unauthorized Ambani biography by Hamish McDonald, the former New Delhi bureau chief of the Far Eastern Economic Review]

The next comes the great Indian middle class which is roughly 20 % of our population. It had great expectations from the Independent India and ny 1980s it was frustrated, lazy , easy going generation who used to eat, fart and criticize the government. But economic liberalization changed it. The economy of consumerism brought all the consumer durables to our doorstep. This created an entire generation X which is fed by dreams of a world which is not only selfish but never satisfying. We gave the comfort of our home to live alone and earn money. Love was replaced by lust and satisfaction by a never ending rat race. The need to be above others, to prove we are better; we lost our kindness and empathy. We lost the trust and human feeling for others; we can no longer see the stark poverty and misery and keep feeling sick only for ourselves. For more:

THE GREAT INDIAN MIDDLE CLASS
by Pavan K. Varma
“ For the burgeoning and upwardly mobile middle class of India, such poverty has ceased to exist. It has ceased to exist because it does not create in most of its members the slightest motivation to do something about it. Its existence is taken for granted. Its symptoms, which would revolt even the most sympathetic foreign observer, do not even register any more. The general approach is to get on with one's life, to carve out a tiny island of well-being in a sea of deprivation. The utter obsession with individual survival and betterment and the complete absence of a sense of social obligation is not unlike a system of apartheid, rendered more insidious because the perpetuators no longer even notice the conditions of those they have banished. The concern with personal salvation at the spiritual plane had assumed, at the temporal
level, a Frankenstein form: the almost complete inability to see or identify with anything beyond the narrowest definition of self-interest. The absence of a strong moral imperative for social altruism had resulted, under the tutelage of unethical leaders and opportunistic politics, in a horribly bloated unconcern for society itself. The end product was the acceptance of a certain kind of lifestyle: insular, aggressive, selfish, obsessed with material gain and socially callous. “

Next comes the Poor – the wide 60 % of our population who doesn’t know where there next meal will come from. The abandoned people of Bharat whom no one writes, thinks and cares about. sick of everything they have no one to help to – and these people provide the breeding ground for terrorism, naxalism and various other problems. But are they solely responsible to it? Or it’s the mistake of the nation which cannot provide them the basic necessities of life!

From TIME magazine
“What about the poor? The statistics speak for themselves. Half of all Indian children are undernourished, and half of all adult women suffer from anemia. According to the latest U.N. Development Programme Human Development Report, India has among the highest undernutrition levels in the world, along with Ethiopia and Bangladesh. In fact, Bangladesh is doing better than India in many measures of development, such as rates of infant and maternal mortality and of school enrollment. Despite India's faster economic growth, Bangladesh is progressing quicker in health and nutrition indicators: in 1990, India had an infant mortality rate of 80 per 1,000 live births, compared with 96 in Bangladesh. Today, the ranking is reversed: 67 in India and 51 in Bangladesh.
This is one illustration of the lopsided nature of economic growth in India nowadays. The gains of faster growth have been largely captured by the privileged. The poor, for their part, barely manage to continue their slow exit from hunger and misery. It is often argued that rising inequality is the price of economic dynamism, and that nothing can be done about it.”

When I called Sardar Patel a landlord, I meant he belonged to a class favorable to the rich. He was a good friend of the business families of India, predominantly the Birlas. None of his policy was for the upliftment of the poor and actually he never cared for the social change in India. Though he was instrumental in settling down any armed revolution against the British through his negotiations. In fact the change from British Raj to Congress was what Bhagat Singh had described earlier,” From white exploiter to black exploiter.”




Q 15 Harkishen Singh Surjeet,late CPM leader had said: "Minority communalism is less harmful than majority communalism" .Do you agree?

Ans This was the question which took a lot of my time, as was not very sure of the answer, after the recent Mumbai carnage.

In my view, communalism of any sort is wrong. Killing or harassment of one person by another in the name of religion can not be justified by any way. It is used by basically the radicals of either community to gain support and thus power. Be it RSS or SIMI , none of them are interested in the protection or development of their communities. They are interested in developing the fear of “other” community in their community and project themselves as the defender of their communities and thus gain power – which then brings lot of money and resources .But definitely the causes and results of minority and majority communalism vary.

Minority communalism can now be viewed in two contexts – one of internal Muslim dissatisfaction of Indian state, the fear of the majority and the resulting discontent from it. The other is the external Islamic terrorism- the blend of external terror groups, their sympathizers in India and the support provided by corrupt Indian machinery.

The cause and effect of the first kind I have already discussed in detail in my previous post. To touch upon it, the home grown Islamic terrorism is projected more than required. They are the most degraded class of human society who kill innocent people to express their anger and disgust. But to see entire Muslim population of India involved in it is stupid and naïve. To kill an innocent person in Ahmedabad because someone has killed other innocent people in Godhra, leads to further alienation and growth of terrorism. While the real culprits should definitely be caught and butchered, we should be careful that innocents are not punished. No way, should one community be placed against another, as finally it will be the common men who will suffer while the rich and powerful politicians will enjoy their luxuries.

Coming to next – international Islamic terrorism, it is definitely a serious threat to our country. This is a powerful force with international funding, training and logistic support as well as sympathizers in our own country. And to fight them will need lot of improvement in our will and working. It will need a full overhaul of our intelligence and security systems. To fight them we need powerful, well motivated forces. How can you expect that one person will give his life for his nation without any hesitation when he knows after him no one will care a damn about his family, his family members will have to fight corruption at every step? [I hope u have seen movie “DHOOP”] How he can be a selfless son, when we all just care of ourselves and our needs? How can he be dedicated to his service, when he knows everyone –from Mantri to Santri- is just behind money and their selfish needs? The people are there, the forces are there, the laws are there – what we need is a correct implementation. We need full rights to the forces, a system where they are motivated and dedicated. Where they are sure once they are gone there are people and system to take care of their families and no one will harass them. No wonder while French surrendered so easily in WW II, so many Russians gave their lives – to save their Fatherland from the Hitler!

Now let us come to the majority communalism. Why all the media and intelligentsia of India are always behind Hindu radical groups, can’t they see the anger and frustration developing among Hindus?
The best way to divert the attention of public from the incompetence, corruption and wrong doing of the government is by raising sentimental issues such as caste, religion and race. From time to time when rulers are not able to satisfy their publics they raise a pseudo fear or pride in their people and exploit it for their personal gains. When the public of Germany was dissatisfied with the ill- governance, rampant corruption, unemployment, and impositions by the treat of Versailles, the Fascism rose its head in that country and what followed was horrible not only for that country but for entire world. An entire generation was left with its scars, a huge mankind killed, disabled or helpless. Millions became widow, orphans or lost their loves in the most scary war mankind ever witnessed. That is the result of majority communalism. In Kashmir, when majority became communal, we witnessed the mass exodus of Kashmir Hindus, which left Lakhs of people homeless and unemployed. While minority communalism leads to terrorism, the majority communalism leads to Fascism, genocide and civil wars! And though no one can justify the killing of innocent people in the name of terrorism its potential is much less than Fascism. Though Fascism takes time to develop, once in power it ensures that its parent country is doomed.




Q 16 Why is that radical Islamists in our country when pose as liberals always take refuge in the ideology of communism despite their own contempt for communism? You are free not to answer this question if you did not understand it. We can discuss this later.

Ans I understood your question but I don’t know if any of the Muslim radical organization supports any true communist organization. Since communists propose an Atheist theory, it is fundamentally against Radical elements of any religion. Rather as much as I am aware, Muslims have distanced themselves from CPI (Maoist) , despite their poor state. U can expand what you want to say.

http://www.indiapost.com/article/perspective/2469/



Q 17 You think India is a truly secular country? I mean, in terms of existing laws and the constitution

Ans. I think you are referring here to the Muslims appeasing laws in our constitution. You are right and they are not justified at all. Law should be same for every citizen of the country. These laws have been made by the Congress for Muslim appeasement. As I said earlier, Congress first ensures that Muslims remain underdeveloped and suffer and then Congress can project itself as their Messiah! No wonder working on same lines it is not taking any action against Raj Thackeray.



Q 18 What according to you is your solution to the Kashmir problem?


I wrote it in my blog I think just reproducing it here . the solution is same as for the rest of India. Stop looking for political gains in every issue, stop playing with the lives and sentiments of the people; they are on the verge of explosion.

Bring development, education, food and healthcare. Give social justice and freedom and most of the problems like Naxalism, terrorism and Kashmir problem will be solved automatically. But problem is no one actually wants to solve it!

The article by Arundhati Roy was extremely thought provoking as always. Her view points are always different from the common folk and one which look at the inner depth of any topic. But this time I beg to differ from her on many issues. The essence of her topic was Azadi for Kashmir.

I will first like to ask a simple question what is Azadi or freedom? Is it about calling a country yours? In that case ndians are free and happy, but we know majority of them are not. Is it about the freedom that your religion is proclaimed as the state religion? In that case all Pakistanis should be free and happy. But we know that it is one of the most disturbed countries in the world. Then what is freedom? Before answering this question let us look at the problems in Kashmir today.

I feel the earlier problems of Kashmir before 1990s were same as of entire India.But with a difference that India was never able to convince the people of Kashmir that they are a part of India. And rightly so, just because a king signs a piece of paper against people’s wishes doesn’t change their nationality. Kashmiri’s neither wanted to join India nor Pakistan and it was the influence of moderate Sufi culture of Kashmir which kept them away from communalism.

But like many of India’s provinces, after Independence Kashmir was also marginalized in cases of development and growth. While rest of the India just cursed its politician for their sorry states of affair Kasmiris had a different opinion. Their shrewd politicians capitalized on their belief and convinced them that the only solution to their problems is independence from Indian state. After strong pubic processions this was followed by armed militancy, logistically well supported by Pakistan. It helped Pakistan in Two ways- a revenge of what happened in 1971 as well as a distraction from its internal affairs. It helped even Indian state to divert public attention from issues of poverty and development to false nationalism. Instead of finding the root causes of the problem, they easily deployed the Army.

One cannot solely blame the Army for whatever atrocities were carried out by them. Military solution to freedom movements is never viable. The Indian army which suppressed the armed militancy itself got frustrated and took out this frustration on Kashmiri awam. To make the matters worse, successive Kasmiri government did nothing to improve the situation. They satisfied their appetite through corruption and never carried out, again, any serious development. Sick of their state governments policies
And frustrated with militancy and its aftereffects, Kashmir was like a bomb waiting to explode, The spark was provided again by our cheap politicians. While it was PDP minister only, who signed the land transfer it played full role in igniting the passions and making a issue out of nothing. Similarly Hindutava fascist forces brought element of national and religious pride to gain political mileage. But they have never perceived that people’s emotions will erupt like this! Now even the leaders are following the public and freedom is the buzzword.

But freedom against whom, and what type of freedom. Independent Kashmir? India also became independent 60 years back and still majority of us are suffering? And then it is going to increase the suffering for Kashmiri pundits, suffering since decades already. And what if Pakistan attacks an independent Kashmir, whom will they turn to then, back to India? The worst thing in her article was when she talks about people speaking publicly in favour of Pakistan. There is not an iota of doubt that even if Kashmir joins Pakistan; the suffering of its people is going to increase only! But still how can Indian citizens speak in favour of joining Pakistan and how can Indian people take it? Our state puts a pro poor person like Dr Binayak Sen in prison for conspiring against state when he just brought out the sufferings of Indian tribes at the hand of government. And what are they doing now, listening to pro Pakistani slogans. I cannot take it any cost, they all should be imprisoned!

Thirdly though I also favour, like her, pro people movements, but can India take the risk of free Kashmir? An independent Kashmir can bring a new wave of jehadis, due to their hatred against India. It can become an ally of USA. Many countries will try to woo it, considering its strategic location next to two emerging world powers. Then if we free Kashmir today, tomorrow any politician of any non Hindi state can woo its people with anti India slogan, for his personal gains! We cannot afford an independent Kashmir!

Then what is the solution? The most feasible solution is division of Jammu and Kashmir as the people of both parts have lost trust in each other. Second, giving something like Dominion status to Kashmir, their government, economy and culture but India’s defence. But before all this the urgent requirement is the end of selfish politics, restoration of faith In Kashmiri people about India and a true dream of development and upliftment of people

But i don't see any of our politicians interested in doing anything like that. What they will do is to maintain the status quo. This will frustrate the Kashmiri people again. And frustrated with no action, we can witness a new wave of terrorism. The final result being more deaths and more misery as there is no military solution to this problem. But who cares? No Kashmiri politician’s son becomes a militant and no Indian politician’s son joins the army. Finally it’s just the innocent public who will die again on both he sides.

The essence of freedom is freedom from poverty, hunger, illiteracy, unemployment and backwardness. And it is not the question of just Kashmir’s Azadi; it is the freedom that entire India is seeking!
