"Secularism" under Congress Administration in Karnataka
Excerpts
Samaja Vani from the South Canara region reports a shocking news emanating from Ullal near Mangalore.
Certain alarming developments in and around Ullal near Mangalore have largely gone unreported in the mainstream media. There is a dedicated group of Muslims who systematically and regularly unleash their perversion against Hindu girls.
:
1. At around 3 A.M on 4 February, a group of fanatical Muslims dropped a boulder on a boat worth about Rs. 2 Crores belonging to a Hindu fisherman, destroying it beyond repair.
2. Another group raided the house of a Hindu, molested the womenfolk therein, and smashed the bikes and car belonging to the family.
On 5 February, a bunch of Muslim goons made unprovoked vulgar gestures at middle aged Hindu mothers and challenged them to touch us if you have the guts!” The angered ladies chased them up to the Kodi masjid, leading to a tense situation. They were prevented by the police who stopped them from entering the Masjid.
Thanks to such incidents which have increased both in frequency and intensity, Hindu fishermen’s tolerance reached the breaking point. On 5 February, a sizable crowd of these fishermen took out a protest march which culminated in them surrounding the police station demanding the arrest of these Muslim hooligans.
:
The happenings in Ullal are just the latest instances of what threatens to become a widespread phenomenon in the South Canara region. Local Hindus are quick to point the linkages: increasing instances of Love Jihad, the forced sex episode at Deralakatte, and the Love Jihad incident in Udupi are three major such incidents in recent memory.

Re: Another Instance of "Secularism" in Congress Administered Karnataka
“Then these six pigs would be taken to the temple and they kill them in front of the idol, open its abdomen and insert bananas into it and make a paste out of it. All the people, of course only the Arunthathiyars, would then eat it. This is the festival. This is the conspiracy of the Goundars” said one of the inhabitant of Vizhuthugal Panchayat in Tamilnadu, who belongs to the Dalit community, Arunthathiyar.
History of the Aunthathiyar community
There are two theories about the history of Arunthathiars in Tamilnadu. The first theory tells that, these people were brought by Naickars from Andhrapradesh during the Vijayanagar Empire some 500 years ago to make shoes and other kinds of leather works. They are said to have come here from Kadappah District of A.P. and spread over Tamilnadu during the Naickar Rule.
The other theory is that, before the Indian States were linguistically re-organised in 1956, all the southern States were under one Presidency. The people would go from one place to another for their livelihood. When famine or severe atrocities were meted out to them or when a human sacrifice from their own fold was offered, they managed to learn Telugu or Kannarese and moved over to Andhra or Karnataka. The Arunthathiars speak three languages – Tamil, Telugu and Kannarese. Considering these factors, one can infer that they were living a nomadic life and learning Telugu and Kannarese was a necessity to cope up with the situation. Otherwise, they were originally the inhabitants of Tamilnadu.
The Cult and Rituals
The culture of the Arunthathiyar people is closely linked to Madurai Veeran who was a General in the army of Vijayanagar Empire. One of his legs and an arm were cut off because he had married a dancer in the Empire who belonged to the upper caste. As a token of revenge the Arunthathiar (Madhika) people rallied together in Madurai against the Empire. This was the first time when they came together seeking redressal of their grievances. They claimed Madurai Veeran as their God and started worshipping him. They also worshipped a female deity who was a woman leader of the Arunthathiar community. She gave them training in using weapons in war. All these stories are part of the oral tradition of the community.
The Goundars’ Plot
Apart from these two deities the Goundars introduced Annanmar Swamis (Brothers) in the western Districts to counter Madurai Veeran and the female deity of the Arunthathiyars. In order to belittle the social status of the Arunthathiyars these Big brothers invented a new ritual of raw pig eating. Several months before the festival, the Goundars would give two pigs to an Arunthathiyar family in the village. Each family following a routine would feed those two pigs. During the year, those two pigs would multiply into about six pigs. Then these six pigs would be taken to the temple where they would be killed by piercing a dagger in to the head. Then they would open the abdomen and insert bananas and make a paste out of it. All the people, of course the Arunthathiyars only, would then eat that disgusting substance. This is the festival. This is the conspiracy of the Goundars against the Dalits using a religious festival to cover up the heinous intention behind it.
The Goundars introduced this practice with an ulterior motive of debasing the Dalit people in public eye. Even today they follow this ritual. The people of the community refuse to abandon this practice because they think that it is god-given. They would say, “Don’t talk to us about this. Call us for an agitation. We will come. Don’t talk about the god”. They call this ritual Annanmar Nombi or Pig piercing Nombi.
This happens in almost all the Arunthathiyar villages. “My father and mother used to eat that. I brought them out of the temple and told that they should not eat that. Then I took them to a church and left them to worship there”. One of the social activists of the community said
The Arunthathiyars spend more for this festival than other festivals. Goundars collect Rs.10, 000/- to 15,000/- from each family towards the expenses of the festival. The Dalits generate this amount as a loan from persons of other communities. They have to repay that loan with interest or work as bonded labourers until the next Annanmar Nombi comes.
The original festival
Originally the Anaanmar Nombi was the festival of the Goundars. The Goundars left it to the Arunthathiar to celebrate it telling them that rain had started and so they had to go to take care of the sowing in the fields. Thus the Nombi was thrust upon the Arunthathiars. If the Dalits go to the Goundars and ask for coconuts and bananas for the Nombi, they would readily give them. They will be at the temple until the pig is caught hold of and brought to the temple. The Goundars are in charge of erecting the Pandal and all other arrangements for the festival. Only the priest of the Dalit community does the killing. When the killing is finished, the Goundars leave the temple. They would never take part in the eating of the pig-banana paste. They just accept the holy ash but do not receive it from the priest’s hands. The holy ash will be in a tray and the Goundars help themselves.
Another cast atrocity is that the Arunthathiar women are not allowed to enter the temple. Men and women of the Goundars caste can go, and so also the Arunthathiar men. They have maliciously thrust such a horrible ritual among these illiterate Dalit people. The village Goundar controls the finance of the festival and he operates by his own discretion. After the festival is over, the Goundar submits an account. But no one dares to ask questions or demand any clarification.
It takes time..
Now in some villages, people have become independent and operate the account by themselves. But in ¾ of the villages in the vicinity, it is the village Goundar who controls the finance of the festival. Attempts have been made from the part of a local NGO to educate people about this gruesome ritual and the injustices behind that.
Commentary
It is disgusting and painful.

Re: Another Instance of "Secularism" in Congress Administered Karnataka
A mob of around 30 suspected Hindu Jagarana Vedike activists allegedly sexually assaulted a woman member of Mangalore City Corporation when she was canvassing for the Congress party on Sunday.
The Hindu Jagarana Vedike has denied that its members molested the woman.
The attack, which reportedly occurred in full public view and was purportedly also captured on mobile phones by the attackers, came to light late on Tuesday after the Congress corporator (name withheld) addressed a press conference.
She said the Hindutva activists first surrounded her and then made a 16-year-old-member of their gang assault her at Kodikere near Mangalore around 4pm.
In the video, the boy can be seen grabbing the victim and attempting to strip her even as his comrades laugh and shout pro-Hindutva slogans.
As he attacks her, the teenager is heard saying, “Don’t you find Hindu men attractive? Why do you like only Muslim men?”
The corporator is a Hindu. The slur was purportedly used in reference to her political proximity to some Muslim leaders of her party.
Videos of the attack have since been shared on WhatsApp, an instant messaging service for mobile phones.
The corporator said the attackers also threatened her that once Narendra Modi became the prime minister all people like her would be taught a lesson.
Modi is the Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate.
Asked about the attack, Satyajit Surathkal, south India convenor of the Hindu Jagarana Vedike (based in Mangalore) said, “Our boys were just talking to her. She suddenly started getting physically aggressive and some of our boys retaliated mildly. Nobody molested her.”
He added, “We don’t treat Hindu women like that. I have not seen the video everybody is talking about. I’m sure it is fake.”
Police inaction
The police registered an FIR in connection with the attack after Tuesday’s press conference. The corporator claimed the police had reached the spot on Sunday soon after the attack, but made no effort to chase away or arrest the people who molested her.
“The police merely prevented them from causing further damage.”
Mangalore police commissioner R Hitendra confirmed that many of the suspects had several other cases against them including murder and extortion.
Hitendra said, “We did not initially register a case because we did not receive a complaint. We have now provided her with an armed guard.”
He failed to explain why the police did not register a complaint on their own despite officials reaching the spot soon after the assault, when the attackers were allegedly still around.
The police are yet to arrest any of the suspects.
The corporator claimed senior police officials had advised her to stay away from the area for her own safety.
Mangalore has seen similar vigilante attacks in the past.
Suspected Sri Rama Sene activists had attacked girls in a pub in January 2009. In July 2012, suspected Hindu Jagarana Vedike activists had assaulted 13 students including six girls in a show of moral policing at a house in Mangalore. This is often referred to as the homestay attack case.

The attack on the corporator, however, is the first known instance of a politician being targeted by the vigilantes.
‘Act or I will quit’
“They dared to attack me even though our government is in power. If no action is taken I will resign from my post,” the corporator said at the press conference she addressed with local Congress MLA Moideen Bawa.
Bawa appealed for “justice”. Soon after he made that appeal, people targeted him on the social media, seeking to know who he wants justice from when the Congress is in power in Karnataka.
Seven of the eight MLAs in Mangalore are from the Congress and three of them are cabinet ministers.
The incident has triggered resentment among a section of Congress workers in the district.
Vidya Dinker of the Forum Against Atrocities on Women said, “If the Congress cannot protect its own people despite being in power, what about ordinary women? There has been a huge increase in attacks on women by such groups after the Congress came to power.”
Incidentally, this forum was formed in the aftermath of the homestay attack.
Not the first time
The corporator said her attackers had been harassing her ever since she started campaigning for the corporation elections. The harassment continued when Bawa was nominated for the 2013 assembly elections. She claimed six months ago, the Hindutva activists had waylaid her car when her five-year-old daughter was with her.
“They don’t want any party but the BJP to enter their area. They also object when we take non-Hindus for campaigning,” she said.

Re: Another Instance of "Secularism" in Congress Administered Karnataka
Thanks for the free publicity, the more you reply with irrelevant junk, the more people read my post, which is very important, since people need to understand what happens in a Congress administered state.
Infact your post proves how partisan Congress administration is. There is no report of the Police registering FIR when Hindus were attacked, where as here they promptly registered FIR's against Hindus, even though the alleged perpetrators denied the allegations.
Anyway Karnataka Congress is known to repeatedly disregard the constitution when they introduced schemes targeting women of only one religion. So their Pro-Islamic Antics under the garb of Secularism is now getting well known.
Even the constitution is NOT safe under Congress administration, and Congress is allegedly going all out to support Political Islam, with the likes of Imran Masood, and Cozying up to the likes of Syed Bukhari
