Disillusioned, Shocked, Insulted and Outraged. The calibrated response Hindu offered to this otherwise taciturn PM statement who rarely voiced his opinion in Public.
To my mind, He has not been yet evaluated for his speech dispassionately. A scholar, achiever and man of wisdom must have meant something special when he made this petrifying statement. Was it to empower the Muslim? Was this to appease the Muslim? Or was this to disfranchise the Hindu of entitlement in due course?
Cryptic and un-deciphered. The displeasure and fury of the Majority Hindu never let the statement to be examined for the unspoken prospective it was spoken.
Hindu Since its origin had been characteristically an accommodative and peace loving. It never set its priority, never objectified its mission, remained pervious and allowed people with ulterior and hostile intend to share their motherland. There are enough historical events to support this claim. Majority of Indian Muslim were Indian native, who under oppressive medieval regime changed their faith for safety of life. 1947, Indian was divided by Jinnah and Nehru on religious line and Gandhi choose India to make a Secular nation, thereby allowing Muslim to continue and pursue their religious Identity.
Since 1947, Political institution pursued Muslim appeasement shamelessly. The constitutional tenets, Judicial interpretation and administrative Policy were compromised to accommodate this state sponsored Appeasement. The Separate Personal law for Muslim were enacted. Religious education through Madarsa were mainstreamed. Minority Scholarship and State expenses were normalized for teaching the Quran. Generous Subsidy for religious pilgrimage were extended. A discriminatory Article 30 was incorporated in the constitution to ensure Quran and Bible be taught but never Gita or Ramayan. While Temples were brought under Government control and taxation, mosques and Churches were left free. Place of Worship act 1991 was legislated to legalize all the medieval plunder, desecration and pillaging of Hindu Temples and wealth. Hindu were denied worship in temples under the control of the Archeological Survey of India. The original constitution with depicted motif of Lord Ram Darbar as an essence of Governance was substituted with introduction of Word “Secular” in the constitution through an unconstitutional 42nd amendment.
And all this while, instead of realizing or raising any voice against this injustice, the Hindu Society pretended to sleep. Forget any agony, larger Hindu Society defended and piloted such changes. Nearly 4 lac Kashmiri Hindu fled for their life and became refugees in their own country. Forget Justice, not even a drop of tears rolled down the cheeks of Hindu society. Religious Conversion through inducement became the new normal. Love Jihad through deceit and violence robbed the culture and belief of numerous innocent lives.
Hindu never had any pain, regret or grievances. Silence, neutrality, idealism and elitism dictated the public narrative. Hindu refrained from contesting. A new class of Hindu hater among Hindu emerged who smiled, loved and professed bashing of Hindu God and eating Beef even. The conscience had died and The Soul dirtied.
Dr Manmohan Singh Statement was aimed to stir the conscience of Hindu Masses. He was showing a mirror to this stoic, disinterested and dispirited society. It was not an insult or abuse but a wise manner of disclosing the future of Hindu. Just to awaken the society. Swami Vivekanand coined the work awakening of Hindu Society. He must have died a disappointed death. As Hindu could only make a Stone Sculptor of him instead of realizing awakening. The sentence of wisdom of Dr Manmohan Singh was a timely reminder, caution and reprimand to this compromised class of Hindu.
He exposed the shameless appeasement to Muslim of all his predecessor Prime Minister with just one statement, yet Hindus could never realize his intent. Yes, Dr Sahib was absolutely right, if Hindu Society continue to renounce its rightful claim, the first right on resource must rest with Muslim.
It is your choice My Dear Hindu. Thank You Dr Sahib.
