ALI SUKHANVER<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n

India\nis no more a secular country; it is a country meant only for the Hindus; and\nthe minorities there, including the Sikhs, the Buddhists, the Christians, could\nlive a second grade life full of compulsions and restrictions if they wish to\nbe a part of the Indian society; this is the message Mr. Modi has successfully\nconveyed to the minorities in India. Though apparently this message is only for\nthe Indian Muslims but inwardly it is a message for all the minorities. Today\nMr. Modi has given direction to all the Muslims they all must migrate to the\nIslamic countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. In the days to\ncome, same instruction might be given to the Christians, the Sikhs and the\nBuddhists that they must move to Sri Lanka, Nepal or other respective\ncountries. Mr. Modi has very clearly told to the minorities that India has no\nroom for these \u2018junk\u2019 items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modi\u2019s\napproach towards the all minorities particularly towards the Muslim community\nhas ever been hostile and aggressive. Just look back to the Gujarat Massacre of\n2002 which claimed the lives of more than 1000 Muslims, hundreds of women were\nraped, countless hoses and shops were burnt to ashes; all this was done under\nthe \u2018kind\u2019 supervision of the Chief Minister Narendra Modi.  Many of us would never forget the painful\nstory of Bilqees Bano whose whole family was butchered before her own eyes and\nshe herself was mercilessly raped by a mob among the bleeding dead bodies of\nher family members. Talking to a media group, a few days back, Bilqees narrated\nwith tearful eyes remembering that horrible night. We had boarded a truck in a\ndesperate attempt to escape communal riots that had swept our village. We were\nhoping to escape to Ahmadabad, some 200km away. Over the next few minutes, a\nmob of the local Hindus attacked the truck, 12 men took turned to rape me\ndespite my being five months pregnant. Neither did they show any mercy to my\ncousin, Shamim, who had given birth a day earlier. She was forced to watch as\nthe men butchered her newborn child. The men murdered all members of my family and\nshamelessly raped eight of the women in the process.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten\nyears earlier to the Gujarat massacre, on 6th<\/sup> December 1992, a large\ngroup of Hindu activists of the Vishva Hindu Parishad and allied organizations\ndemolished the historical Babri Mosque in Ayodhya. The present prime minister\nof India, Narendra Modi was then the general secretary of BJP\u2019s Gujarat unit. He\nwas among the main organizers of the Demolish Babri Mosque Movement. His joy\nand happiness after demolition of Babri Mosque and after Court\u2019s verdict on the\nissue new no bound and he expressed this joy in different statements too.\nModi\u2019s role in Revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir is also\namong his crime\u2019s list against the Muslims. After this decision life remained\nat a halt for many months there in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. So many lost\ntheir lives and countless were deprived of their business and properties. As\nper tradition the deputed security forces used \u2018rape\u2019 as a tool against the\nlocal people. The fire of indignation and aggression is still blazing there.\nThe people have been deprived of their basic human rights. They are still\nfacing the worst shortage of food and medicine. The government has cut off all\ninternet lines to paralyze all communication in the valley. No one is allowed\nto enter the valley from the outer world. Some of the international media\ngroups tried to send their representatives for the coverage of the situation\nbut even they were barred from approaching and listening to the helpless local\nKashmiris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr.\nNarendra Modi seems working on an agenda which would never be acceptable to the\npeople of India; the agenda of breaking one of the world\u2019s biggest democratic\nand secular democracies into debris. The recent amendment in The Citizenship\nLaw is really a very \u2018horrible\u2019 example which supports this notion. If things\nkeep on drifting in the same direction in India, if the flames of hatred\nbetween the Muslims and the Non-Muslims keep on rising to the sky, if the\nstreets of Lucknow, Mumbai and Delhi keep on presenting a battlefield like\nscenario, probably in next few years, world would witness India scattering into\nsmall states fighting with one another. This all would do nothing but promote\nmore terrorism and more extremism in the world. Modi\u2019s dream of turning India\ninto a complete non-secular state would bring a catastrophic disaster to India.\nIn short Mr. Modi has always been deeply and whole-heartedly involved in every\naction which could be harmful to the Muslims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

India\nwithout Muslims is Modi\u2019s old dream. He is doing all his best to drag this\ndream to reality. It is because of his stubbornness that today the \u2018Shining\nIndia\u2019 is passing through one of the darkest phases of its life. Graveness and\nseverity of the situation could be estimated through a recent report of CNN\npublished on the 20th<\/sup> December 2019. The report said that tens of\nthousands of people took to the streets in at least 15 cities across the\ncountry, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Ahmadabad, Mangalore,\nand Lucknow in a show of nationwide public anger against the law considered by\nmany to be unconstitutional and discriminatory against Muslims. At least two\npeople died in only one day protest. Thousands of people were arrested. It is\nsomething very remarkable that in many areas, the Muslim protesters are being\nsupported by the Christians, the Buddhists and the Sikhs because they know that\nthey would be the next target of Modi\u2019s extremism. Let us wait and see how does\nthe world around respond to the hatred and prejudice of Mr. Modi against the\nreligious minorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
