India,
along with Israel, Southern Sudan, etc., have been the battlefields in endless
bloody wars to install a universal caliphate, the objective of the global
jihad.
Here, Subramanian Swamy,
Janata Party President, a Professor of Economics and a former Union Cabinet
Minister, lays out a strategy to "wipe out Islamic terror" in India.
*How to wipe out Islamic
terror*
Dr. Subramaniam Swamy, July 14, 2011
Dr. Subramaniam Swamy, July 14, 2011
The terrorist blast in
Mumbai on July 13, 2011 requires a decisive soul searching by Hindus of India.
Hindus cannot accept to be killed in this Halal fashion,
continuously bleeding every day, till the nation finally collapses. Terrorism,
I define here as the illegal use of force to overawe the civilian population to
make it do or not do an act against their will and well-being.
There are about 40 reported
and unreported terrorist attacks per month in the country. That is why the
recent US National Counter-Terrorism Centre publication A Chronology of
International Terrorism states: ‘India suffered more terrorist acts than any
other country’.
While the PM thinks that
Maoists’ threat is most serious, I think Islamic terrorism is an even more
serious existential threat. If we did not have today the present Union Home
Minister, PM, and UPA chairperson, then Maoists can be eliminated in a month,
much as I did with the LTTE in Tamil Nadu, as a senior minister in 1991, or MGR
did with the Naxalites in the early 1980s. Islamic threat to the nation is
different.
Why is
Islamic terrorism our number one problem of national security? About this there
will be no doubt in anyone's mind after 2012. By that year, I expect a Taliban
takeover in Pakistan and the Americans to flee Afghanistan. Then, Islam will
confront Hinduism to ‘complete unfinished business’. Already the successor to
Osama Bin Laden as the Al Qaeda leader has declared that India is the priority
target for that terrorist organisation and not the USA.
Fanatic Muslims consider
Hindu dominated India as "an unfinished chapter of Islamic
conquests". I may be recalled that all other countries conquered by Islam
became 100% converted to Islam within two decades of the Islamic invasion.
India is the exception. Undivided India in 1947 was 75% Hindu even after 800
years of brutal Islamic rule. That is jarring for the Islamic fanatics.
Let us remember that every
Hindu-Muslim riot in India since 1947, has been ignited by Muslim fanatics — if
one goes by all the Commissions of Inquiry set up after every riot. Even the
Gujarat riots were triggered by the brutal killing of 56 women and children by
setting fire to a rail coach in Godhra.
By today’s definition these
riots are all terrorist acts. Muslims, though a minority in India, still have
fanatics who dare tolead violent attacks against Hindus. Other Muslims of India
just lump it, sulk or rejoice. That is the history from Babar’s time to
Aurangzeb. There have been exceptions to this apathy of Muslims like Dara
Shikoh, in the old days, or like M J Akbar and Salman Haidar today who are not
afraid to speak out against Islamic terror, but still they remain exceptions.
*Blame
the Hindus*
In one sense, I do not blame the Muslim fanatics for targeting Hindus. I blame us Hindus who have taken their individuality permitted in Sanatana Dharma to the extreme. Millions of Hindus can assemble without state patronage for Kumbh Mela completely self-organised, but they all leave for home oblivious of the targeting of Hindus in Kashmir, Mau, Melvisharam and Malappuram and do not lift their little finger to help organise Hindus. For example, if half the Hindus vote together rising above their caste and language, a genuine Hindu party will have a two-thirds majority in Parliament and Assemblies.

The secularists now tout
instances of Hindu fanatics committing terrorist attacks against Muslims or
other minorities. But these attacks are mostly state sponsored, often by the
Congress itself, and not by Hindu ‘non-state actors’. Muslim-led attacks are
however all by ‘non-state actors’ unless one includes the ISI and rogue
elements in Pakistan’s army which are aiding them, as state sponsoring.
Fanatic Muslim attacks have
been carried out to target and demoralise the Hindus, to make Hindus yield that
which they should not, with the aim of undermining and ultimately to dismantle
the Hindu foundation of India. This is the unfinished war of 1,000 years which
Osama bin Laden talks about. In fact, the earliest terror tactics in India were
deployed in Bengal 1946 by Suhrawady and Jinnah to terrorise Hindus to give in
on the demand for Pakistan. The Congress party claiming to represent the Hindus
capitulated, and handed 25 per cent of India on a platter to Mohammed Ali
Jinnah. Now they want the remaining 75 per cent.
*Forces
against Hindus*
This is not to say that other stooges have not targeted Hindus. During the last six decades since Independence, British imperialist-inspired Dravidian movement led by E V Ramaswamy Naicker, in the name of rationalism tried to debunk as irrational the Hindu religion, and terrorised the Hindu priestly class, ie, the Brahmins, for propagating the Hindu religion.

The movement’s
organisational arm, the Dravida Kazhagam (DK), had venerated Ravana for 50
years to spite the Hindu adoration of Rama and vulgarise the abduction of Sita,
till the DK belatedly learnt that Ravana was a Brahmin and a pious bhakta of
Lord Shiva too. Abandoning this course of defaming Ramayana, the DK have now
become stooges of the anti-Indian LTTE which has specialised in killing the
Hindu Tamil leadership in Sri Lanka. Of course the DK has now been orphaned by
the decimation of the LTTE.
*Civil
war situation*
In the 1960s, the Christian missionaries had inspired the Nagas. The Nagas also wanted to further amputate Bharat Mata by seeking secession of Nagaland from the nation. In the 1980s, the Hindus of Manipur were targeted by foreign-trained elements. Manipuris were told: give up Hinduism or be killed. In Kashmir, since the beginning of the 1990s, militants in league with the Pakistan-trained terrorists also targeted the Hindus by driving the Hindu Pandits out of the Valley, or killing them or dishonouring their women folk.

Recognising that targeting
of Hindus is being widely perceived, and that Muslims of India are largely just
passive spectators, the foreign patrons of Islamic terrorists are beginning to
engage in terrorist acts that could pit Muslims against Hindus in nation-wide
conflagration and possible civil war as in Serbia and Bosnia.
Muslims cannot be divided
into ‘moderates’ and ‘extremists’ because the former just capitulate when
confronted. Recently, Pakistan civilian government capitulated on ‘kite flying’
and banned it because Taliban considers it as ‘Hindu’. Moderate governments of
Malaysia and Kazhakstan are now demolishing Hindu temples.
*Collective
response*
Hence, the first lesson to be learnt from recent history of Islamic terrorism against India, and for tackling terrorism in India is that the Hindu is the target and that Muslims of India are being programmed by a slow reactive process to become radical and thus slide into suicide against Hindus. It is to undermine the Hindu psyche and create fear of civil war that terror attacks are organised.

It is to undermine the Hindu psyche and create fear of civil war that terror attacks are organised.
And hence since the Hindu
is the target, Hindus must collectively respond as Hindus against the terrorist
and not feel individually isolated or worse, be complacent because he or she is
not personally affected. If one Hindu dies merely because he or she was a
Hindu, then a bit of every Hindu also dies. This is an essential mental
attitude, a necessary part of a virat Hindu (for fuller discussion of the
concept of virat Hindu, see my Hindus Under Siege: The Way Out Haranand, 2006).
Therefore we need today a
collective mindset as Hindus to stand against the Islamic terrorist. In this
response, Muslims of India can join us if they genuinely feel for the Hindu.
That they do, I will not believe, unless they acknowledge with pride that
though they may be Muslims, their ancestors are Hindus.
It is not easy for them to
acknowledge this ancestry because the Muslim mullah would consider it as
unacceptable since that realisation would dilute the religious fervour in their
faith and also create an option for their possible re-conversion to Hinduism. Hence,
these religious leaders preach hatred and violence against the kafir i.e, the
Hindu (for example read Chapter 8 verse 12 of the Quran) to keep the faith of
their followers. The Islamic terrorist outfits, e.g the SIMI, has already
resolved that India is Darul Harab, and they are committed to make it Darul
Islam. That makes them free of any moral compunction whatsoever in dealing with
Hindus.
*Brihad
Hindu Samaj*
But still, if any Muslim does so acknowledge his or her Hindu legacy, then we Hindus can accept him or her as a part of the Brihad Hindu Samaj, which is Hindustan. India that is Bharat that is Hindustan is a nation of Hindus and others whose ancestors are Hindus. Even Parsis and Jews in India have Hindu ancestors. Others, who refuse to so acknowledge or those foreigners who become Indian citizens by registration can remain in India, but should not have voting rights (which means they cannot be elected representatives).

Others, who refuse to so acknowledge or those foreigners who become Indian citizens by registration can remain in India, but should not have voting rights (which means they cannot be elected representatives).
Hence, to begin with, any
policy to combat terrorism must begin with requiring each and every Hindu
becoming a committed or virat Hindu. To be a virat Hindu one must have a Hindu
mindset, a mindset that recognises that there is vyaktigat charitra (personal
character) and a rashtriya charitra (national character).
It is not enough if one is
pious, honest and educated. That is the personal character only. National
character is a mindset actively and vigorously committed to the sanctity and
integrity of the nation. For example, Manmohan Singh, our prime minister, has
high personal character (vyaktigat charitra), but by being a rubber stamp of a
semi-literate Sonia Gandhi, and waffling on all national issues, he has proved
that he has no rashtriya charitra.
The second lesson for
combating the terrorism we face today is: since demoralising the Hindu and
undermining the Hindu foundation of India in order to destroy the Hindu
civilisation, is the goal of all terrorists in India we must never capitulate
and never concede any demand of the terrorists. The basic policy has to be:
never yield to any demand of the terrorists. That necessary resolve has not
been shown in our recent history. Instead ever since we conceded Pakistan in
1947 under duress, we have been mostly yielding time and again.
*Bowing
to terrorists*
In 1989, to obtain the release of Mufti Mohammed Sayeed’s daughter, Rubaiyya who had been kidnapped by terrorists, five terrorists in Indian jails were set free by the V P Singh’s government. This made these criminals in the eyes of Kashmiri separatists and fence sitters heroes, as those who had brought India’s Hindu establishment on its knees. To save Rubaiyya it was not necessary to surrender to terrorist demands.

To save Rubaiyya it was not necessary to surrender to terrorist demands.
A worse capitulation to
terrorists in our modern history was in the Indian Airlines IC-814 hijack in
December 1999 staged in Kandahar. The government released three terrorists even
without getting court permission (required since they were in judicial
custody). Moreover, they were escorted by a senior minister on the PM’s special
Boeing all the way to Kandahar as royal guests instead of being shoved across
the Indo-Pakistan border.
Worse still, all the three
after being freed, went back to Pakistan and created three separate terrorist
organisations to kill Hindus. Mohammed Azhar, whom the National Security
Advisor Brijesh Mishra had then described as “a mere harmless cleric”, upon his
release led the LeT to savage and repeated terrorist attacks on Hindus all over
India from Bangalore to Srinagar. Since mid-2000, Azhar is responsible for the
killing of over 2,000 Hindus and the attack on Parliament on December 13, 2001.
Omar Sheikh who helped al-Qaeda is in jail in US custody for killing US
journalist Daniel Pearl, while the third, Zargar is engaged today in random
killings of Hindus in Doda and Jammu after founding Al-Mujahideen Jingaan.
This Kandahar episode
proves that we should never negotiate with terrorists, never yield. If you do,
then sooner or later you will end up losing more lives than you will ever save
by a deal with terrorists.
*Moment
of truth*
The third lesson to be learnt is that whatever and however small the terrorist incident, the nation must retaliate—not by measured and ‘sober’ responses but by massive retaliation. Otherwise what is the alternative? Walk meekly to death expecting that our ‘sober’ responses will be rewarded by our neighbours and their patrons? We will be back to 1100 AD fooled into suicidal credulity. We should not be ghouls for punishment from terrorists and their patrons. We should retaliate.

We will be back to 1100 AD fooled into suicidal credulity. We should not be ghouls for punishment from terrorists and their patrons. We should retaliate.
For example, when Ayodhya
temple was sought to be attacked, this was not a big terrorist incident but we
should have massively retaliated by re-building the Ram temple at the site.
This is Kaliyug, and hence
there is no room for sattvic responses to evil people. Hindu religion has a
concept of apat dharma and we should invoke it. This is the moment of truth for
us. Either we organise to survive as a civilisation or vanish as the Persian,
Babylonian, and Egyptian civilisations did centuries ago before the brutal
Islamic onslaught. For that our motto should be Saam, Dhaam, Bheda, Danda.
*Poverty
is no factor*
What motivates the Islamic terrorists in India? Many are advising us Hindus to deal with the root ‘cause’ of terrorism rather than concentrate on eradicating terrorists by retaliation. And pray what is the root ‘cause’?

According to bleeding heart
liberals, terrorists are born or bred because of illiteracy, poverty,
oppression, and discrimination. They argue that instead of eliminating them,
the root cause of these four disabilities in society should be removed. Only
then terrorism will disappear. Before replying to this, let us understand that
I have serious doubts about the integrity of these liberals, or more
appropriately, these promiscuous intellectuals. They seek to deaden the emotive
power of the individual and render him passive (inculcate ‘majboori’ in our
psyche). A nation state cannot survive for long with such a capitulationist
mentality.
It is rubbish to say that
terrorists who mastermind the attacks are poor. Osama bin laden for example is
a billionaire. Islamic terrorists are patronised by those states that have
grown rich from oil revenues. In Britain, the terrorists arrested so far for
the bombings are all well-to-do persons. Nor are terrorists uneducated. Most of
terrorist leaders are doctors, chartered accountants, MBAs and teachers. For
example, in the failed Times Square New York episode, the Islamic terrorist
Shahzad studied and got an MBA from a reputed US university. He was from a
highly placed family in Pakistan. He certainly faced no discrimination and
oppression in his own country. The gang of nine persons who hijacked four
planes on September 11, 2001 and flew them into the World Trade Towers in New
York and other targets were certainly not discriminated or oppressed in the
United States. Hence it is utter rubbish to say that terror is the outcome of
the poverty terrorists face.
If we accept the Left-wing
liberals argument, does it mean that in Islamic countries, the non-Islamic
religious minority who are discriminated and oppressed can take to terrorism?
In the Valley, where Muslims are in majority, not only Article 370 of the
Constitution provides privileges to the majority but it is the minority Hindus
who have been slaughtered, or raped, and dispossessed. They have become
refugees in squalid conditions in their own country.
It is also a ridiculous
idea that terrorists cannot be deterred because they are irrational, willing to
die, and have no ‘return address’. Terrorist masterminds have political goals
and a method in their madness. An effective strategy to deter terrorism is
therefore to defeat those political goals and to rubbish them by
counter-terrorist action. How is that strategy to be structured? In a brilliant
research paper published by Robert Trager and Dessislava Zagorcheva this year
(‘Deterring Terrorism’ International Security, vol 30, No 3, Winter 2005/06, pp
87-123) has provided the general principles to structure such a strategy.
*Goal-strategy*
Applying these principles,
I advocate the following strategy to negate the political goals of Islamic
terrorism in India, provided the Muslim community fail to condemn these goals
and call them un-Islamic:
Goal 1: Overawe India on
Kashmir.
Strategy: Remove Article
370, and re-settle ex-servicemen in the Valley. Create Panun Kashmir for Hindu
Pandit community. Look or create opportunity to take over PoK. If Pakistan
continues to back terrorists, assist the Baluchis and Sindhis to struggle for
independence.
Goal 2: Blast our temples
and kill Hindu devotees.
Strategy: Remove the masjid
in Kashi Vishwanath temple complex, and 300 others in other sites as a
tit-for-tat. Goal 3: Make India into Darul Islam.
Strategy: Implement Uniform
Civil Code, make Sanskrit learning compulsory and singing of Vande Mataram
mandatory, and declare India as Hindu Rashtra in which only those non-Hindus
can vote if they proudly acknowledge that their ancestors are Hindus. Re-name
India as Hindustan as a nation of Hindus and those whose ancestors are Hindus.
Goal 4: Change India’s
demography by illegal immigration, conversion, and refusal to adopt family
planning.
Strategy: Enact a national
law prohibiting conversion from Hindu religion to any other religion.
Re-conversion will not be banned. Declare caste is not birth-based but code of
discipline based. Welcome non-Hindus to re-convert to the caste of their choice
provided they adhere to the code of discipline. Annex land from Bangladesh in
proportion to the illegal migrants from that country staying in India. At
present, northern one-third from Sylhet to Khulna can be annexed to re-settle
the illegal migrants.
Goal 5: Denigrate Hinduism
through vulgar writings and preaching in mosques, madrassas, and churches to
create loss of self-respect amongst Hindus and make them fit for capitulation.
Strategy: Propagate the
development of a Hindu mindset (see my new book Hindutva and National
Renaissance, Haranand, 2010).
India can solve its terrorist
problem within five years by such a deterrent strategy, but for that we have to
learn the four lessons outlined above, and have a Hindu mindset to take bold,
risky, and hard decisions to defend the nation. If the Jews can be transformed
from lambs walking meekly to the gas chambers to fiery lions in just 10 years,
it is not difficult for Hindus in much better circumstances (after all we are
83 per cent of India), to do so in five years.
Guru Gobind Singh has shown
us the way already, how just five fearless persons under spiritual guidance can
transform a society. Even if half the Hindu voters are persuaded to
collectively vote as Hindus, and for a party sincerely committed to a Hindu
agenda, then we can forge an instrument for change. And that ultimately is the
bottom line in the strategy to deter terrorism in a democratic Hindustan at
this moment of truth.
