After a long while reverting to write a post in English instead of Gujarati. Mostly because my home state Gujarat is thankfully & largely free of the unspeakable atrocities committed against Hindus that have become such a daily affair in many other states. So this post definitely requires pan-India readers and hence English.
It took a mental struggle for weeks before deciding to write about this topic. I was hesitant to write because I kept asking myself what will the article achieve? Will it help get justice or peace to the numerous families that have suffered ? Will it actually swing anyone in the power circles into action and build pressure on the relevant state police officials/departments to act swiftly in ANY of the cases? What then would this post achieve other than shocking and shaking the people with the factual content that Indian TV channels/media does not showcase? If anything it will further alienate some friends and relatives for writing on such 'communal'/sensitive subject which would be a personal loss.
So why?
As an NRI, who is physically unable to be on the ground in India and do any meaningful activism such as meeting relevant local state government officials, other activists and seeking answers/justice, what is the next best thing I can do? For now, sharing these facts with all is the best option within my ability. So here it goes.
One black man (George Floyd) is killed at the hands of a racist white officer and entire United States erupts into #BlackLivesMatters protests, many of them violent damaging public properties.
One French man (Samuel Paty) is beheaded in the suburb of Paris by a jihadi Islamist and entire Paris erupts into #JeSuisSamuel protests sending out clear message that France will stand up to protect it's values.
Thousands rally in Paris in protest at murder of teacher Samuel Paty by refugee Islamist terrorist, 18, who FILMED moment he beheaded him https://t.co/sp4WTDxUXQ
Now compare that to India. There are two major differences. 1) There is not just ONE case in point but literally hundreds of cases where Hindus have died almost with a weekly cadence at the hands of either jihadis or state officials. This is nothing short of state sponsored terrorism that we Indians keep accusing Pakistanis of. 2) There is NOT one protest in sight.
I know my friends on the other end of the ideological spectrum will demand evidence for my claim above regarding weekly deaths. And as always, I have done my homework and have come prepared. Here is a list. Actually the list is so long yet so incomplete, I doubt if most of my friends will have the courage to finish reading this post. Many of the cases listed below involves heinous murders of Hindu saints and yet by and large pin-drop silence from Hindu Samaj. Can you imagine other communities counter-reaction if their religious leaders were even touched, let alone hurt or killed.
1) Gopal : A Gau Rakshak from Haryana.
35 yrs old GauRakshak: Gopal, father of 2 girls has been gun shot in Haryana for raising voice against Cow's smuggling n slaughter.
This one is a very ironic one. In a nation where one 'chaaywala' was chosen for the highest post in the nation, this other chaayvala named Veeru and his family did not even get mention in news. His entire family was mercilessly butchered by a jihadi neighbour after a petty quarrel.
3) Babulal Vaishnav : A temple priest from Jaipur.
4) Ankit Saksena from New Delhi.
This is a very interesting one for our desi English media observers. This is probably for the first time that NDTV had explicitly mentioned the religions of the victim and criminals. Despite strong aversion for NDTV for their biased reporting, I give them due credit for courage to mention the facts in this report.
Chandan Gupta, the 16-year-old Hindu boy who was shot at and murdered, by one Salim, following a Tiranga yatra by the ABVP, where people from particular community pelted stones which led to clashes in Uttar Pradesh's Kasganj in 2018https://t.co/1kYOTkQ0IT
Remembering .. When last year this day , a mother & a father lost their son Chandan Gupta for being a Hindu Patriot.. Liberals, Media, Politicians will never remember him for he is no Akhlaq or Pehlu Khan.. But we, the Hindu Patriots can ð#RepublicDay2019#Kasganjpic.twitter.com/zKndpbBZBe

In the last one week Salim shot dead Chandan in Kasganj, Wasim killed Santosh in Bangalore, Ankit and Manjunath were beheaded in Delhi and Bangalore by their Muslim girlfriend’s family and tenants respectively. No outrage by #NotInMyName gang, no hate tracker? India is watching..
6) Palghar Sadhus Mob Lynching : Maharaj Kalpavrukshagiri (70 years old) and Sushilgiri Maharaj (35 years old) and their driver Nilesh Telgade murders.
This particular incidence shook me to the core. Following news over the years, I have emotionally hardened and seen much worst and don't get perturbed easily. As mentioned in #3 and even in cases below, this was NOT the first time Hindu saints were killed. But this was definitely the first time [at least for me] where there is video evidence that Hindu sadhus were killed in the presence of not one, not two but entire team of policemen. And as evident in the video below [and other videos available on the internet ] Police ACTUALLY handed over the helpless men to the frenzied mob and watched as if a rave party is going on and drunken men are dancing innocently. This only cements my firm belief that India is a banana republic and justice for ordinary citizens is a pipe-dream.
7) Ankit Sharma : IB Officer killed in New Delhi by Muslim Mob.
The details of this case are so gruesome, I thought a 100 times if I should add this case in my list or not. But on the other hand this man as part of IB served our nation and his supreme sacrifice cannot be kept under the wraps because of the barbaric-ness involved in his case. You are cautioned.
Each time he was stabbed, they poured acid over the wound it left. After piercing his eardrums, they poured acid inside it. After gouging his eyes out, they poured acid on the hollow spot. No I'm not talking about Capt Sourabh Kalia. This happened with Ankit Sharma in Delhi. pic.twitter.com/48o9aG6vZq

8) Gopal Pal : West Bengal
Gopal, his son, his wife AND unborn child's only crime was that they subscribed to a nationalist ideology promoted by Sangh Parivar in jihadi headquarters of India AKA West Bengal. Thanks to undocumented thousands of Bangladeshi infiltrators from across the border, West Bengal is the MOST dangerous state for Hindus to go about their daily lives.
RSS worker Bondhu Gopal Pal, his pregnant wife, and their 8-year-old son hacked to death in Bengal’s #Murshidabad. Mark my words: Blood of the innocent will hasten what has started in #Bengal. And share this, because those who should be sharing it, getting sick over it, won’t. pic.twitter.com/siTZdbBXug
Warning : What you are about to see in below video is beyond horrific. DO NOT play the video if you cannot watch blood soaked dead bodies. Forgive me for sharing such content but Hindus across the world need to know how we are treated in India and particularly in West Bengal. This is the return of Mughal era barbarism that is vehemently suppressed by India's coward, pussy-heart media honchos.
9) Anurag Poddar - Munger, Bihar.
Millenials and previous generations would vividly remember the horror of Jaliawalan Bagh massacre in 1919 where at least 1500 innocent civilians were gunned down at the order of General Dyer. This casualty count was reported by nationalist Swami Shradhdhanand ji to Gandhi ji. Understandably British in their official records played down the casualties and reported only about 200. In this particular incident in Bihar during recently passed Navaratra, thankfully the casualty count was small, however it was nevertheless Deja Vu of 1919's tragedy. The only difference was that the person ordering to open fire was a public servant from 2016 IPS batch Ms. Lipi Singh. She has full political patronage from the state government headed by Nitish Kumar and was given clean chit after the incident.
The video of Anurag's death is so repulsive that I have decided not to post here.
10) Rahul Rajput : Textbook case by piece-fool community leading by example that we accept your Hindu daughters in our homes but if your sons want our daughters, we take away their life.
11) Nikita Tomar : Shot dead by Muslim loafer for refusing his love proposal and his demand convert to Islam to marry her.
I precisely know what my genuinely secular friends think when they read such summary. Oh, this is just biased Hindu narrative built by RSS/Sangh Parivar and their affiliates. Well these people need to OPEN their eyes and READ the poster Nikita's family has hung outside their home. It cannot get any more clearer than this.
12 ) Samrat Das Ji : Another Hindu priest shot dead.
13) Birendra Shaw
BJP worker Birendra Shaw of Bhatpada, Barrackpore, who was injured in the brutal beating by TMC goons during Durga Puja succumbed to his injuries yesterday. Another murder for political gains, police brutality at it’s peak in Bengal!#TMCStopPoliticalKillingspic.twitter.com/1zAfKhOQfW
Let me pause here and ask how long would you want me to go? Another 10, 20, 30, 100? And trust me, I can, with details on each case. The question is just how many cases would you need to read about to be convinced that Hindus are treated like sacrificial lambs everyday in India and are mercilessly butchered/raped/tortured without fear or regard for any local/federal laws.
Now, since the list is huge as I mentioned early on, instead of going into details of each case, I present few simple collages with credits to fellow Hindu activists for putting them together. IF you have the courage and willingness to speak up, to demand justice in front of your respective local state governments as well as stern laws to protect Hindu lives, research every case below. Again, remember this is NOT an exhaustive list, just a small sample of a LARGE scale crisis in India today that a very few in Indian media talks about. Whether media talks or not, you and I should because all these victims are commoners like you and me.
The current state of Hindu samaj is akin to that of Kumbhakarna in our greatest epic Ramayan. He is one of the strongest man on Ravan's side but in deep slumber blissfully unaware of the danger lurking over his brother, his throne and their kingdom. Similarly here, the 'other' side attacks our festivals by means of frivolous judicial cases in the name of environment protection and wins.
Every year, ban on crackers is imposed AFTER the shops have stocked on them, causing them losses in tune of lacs. This is by design, to discourage them in future. They're killing our festivals on multiple layers.
They attack our temples and take over control under pretext of better administration and usurp all the hundi donations that devout Hindus offered for the betterment of Hindu society and wins. As if all this was NOT enough, now they are DIRECTLY and LETHALLY attacking us, taking Hindu lives weekly and YET NO PROTEST, NO OUTCRY. It was the smell of delicious food that was the key to awaken the mighty Kumbhkarna, I often ask myself what is the key to awaken our Hindu samaj and appeal to their self-respect and commitment to defend themselves, their loved ones and dharma. If you know the answer, kindly share. Would help me pacify my ever racing mind. When will we Hindus rise and revolt against the way we are treated in our own nation by these Abrahamic cults?
When Samuel Paty was beheaded in Paris by a jihadi, French president Emmanuel Macron paid his respects by visiting coffin of Samuel Paty at the Sorbonne in Paris.
Can you even imagine Hon. Narendra Modi doing anything close ? Forget paying ANY respect, our PM NEVER admits that increased brutalities and atrocities against Hindus are a bitter fact of our times and that he would direct state governments to take stern action.
Lastly, in the words of national poet Ramdhari Sinh Dinkar ji,
Loose translation : It is not only the hunters who are indulging in sin by killing voiceless animals. Time will hold mute spectators also as criminals.
