Does it exist at all, Hindu terrorism?
by Rishi Wed Mar 06, 2013 11:05 pm
Suspicion
Now fast forward to the present. Does it exist at all, Hindu terrorism?
On the scale and the level of organization of Muslim terrorism, it of course does not exist. It is a figment of the secular imagination. Not even of Hinduphobia, because the secularists have no genuine “fear of Hindus”. They fear the Muslims (which makes them, in their own terminology, “Islamophobes”), not the Hindus. Indeed it is because they have a real fear of the Muslims but only pretend to fear the Hindus that they bend over backwards to please the Muslims and not the Hindus. Yes, the Hindus are capable of rioting in the streets, generally when provoked, but willful violence against persons, groups or property by purposely prepared groups is rare, if existent at all. It has so far not been their favourite modus operandi.
Smaller-scale acts of terror, such as arson of Muslim religious buildings (or of the jeep of the Australian missionary Graham Staines, with three people inside) or the targeted assassination of religious leaders, have been alleged. Some famous court cases have led to nothing, but other incidents have been reported that seem genuine cases of “Hindu terrorism”. Thus, in Panjab, the so-called Shiv Sena has been accused of targeting some Khalistani leaders. The Azad Sangathan has been mentioned as targeting Muslims in Haryana, and likewise the Sanatan Sanstha in Maharashtra. Church burnings in Manipur have been blamed on Hindus. The Bengal revolutionary movement against the British, the Abhinava Bharat society, has been refounded. Those who take this trend seriously, fear that though small now, it might signal a wave of the future, when “Hindu terrorism” will be a large and endemic problem. It is therefore important to address it at the root.
There may be reasons not to believe the allegations by the biased media, but when Hindus I know testify from their personal contacts that “Hindu terrorism does exist”, I tend to believe them. It is but the factual tip of a verbal iceberg: the pro-violence messages I receive all the time on the internet, often from Gujarati businessmen raised on a diet of Gandhian non-violence but wizened up by real-life experiences with Islam. Hindus who make the move from this mouse-clicking violence to actual terrorism are very rare, but more than zero.
The one thing that can be said in defence of Hindu terror is that it proves Hindus are not dead yet. Like the Sangh Parivar, where numerous people are dedicating themselves to making a success of projects and policies that may of may not be rightly-inspired, the as yet little-studied Hindu terrorists are sacrificing for the Hindu cause. As it happens, they are mindlessly sacrificing other people’s lives thinking this will further the interests of Hindu society. There are better ways, requiring more intelligence and a more persistent sense of direction, so one hopes that their primitive enthusiasm can be transmuted in a more constructive direction.

If Hindu terrorism does exist, then so does christian terrorism and jewish terrorism. When a fanatic killed as many as 80 people in Norway, he was named a right wing extremist and an outcome of Islamophobia but did we hear anyone say christian terrorism?No.

A relatively unknown guy said this unlike in India where the political leaders one of them whom is in race for the next PM post go on air talking about so called Hindu terrorism. HM of this country called some of his colleagues in parliament “terror sponsors”. Hafeez Saeed picked up Shinde’s statement to demand declaring India a “terrorist state”. If anything exists that is Islamic terrorism.trofimov wrote:You weren't listening carefully enough.yogi wrote:When a fanatic killed as many as 80 people in Norway, he was named a right wing extremist and an outcome of Islamophobia but did we hear anyone say christian terrorism?No.

Liberals in trying to sound fair-minded will immediately point to isolated incidents and try to label it so-and-so religion's terrorists while ignoring the 600-lb gorilla aka Islamic terrorism.

Lofty ideals and cute metaphors are all very well but when push comes to shove, liberals will take cover under the very protection against Islamic terrorism that they denounce as right-wing principles.
