Will Muslim terrorists liable for Mumbai attacks 2008 be penalized ever?

The name of Kasab (Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab), Muslim terrorist hailing from Pakistan and prime accused in Mumbai attacks 2008, doesn’t evoke any more emotion across India. And the reasons are not far to see. Indians are unanimous that Kasab should have been hanged to death (or killed in the firing squad) by now for harming sovereignty and national integrity of India through the said terrorist onslaught. But the government has failed them; the majority of Indians opines.

On the contrary, Indian government, always busy to project itself as the foremost adherent of legal philosophy, is making wholehearted efforts to render the culprit a lawful ambiance. Still Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, India’s prime target in the case, is beyond its reach and apparently Pakistan will go on juggling the lawsuit, without any end. India, it’s known to all, has sent uncounted dossiers on Mumbai attacks 2008 to Pakistan – there hasn’t been any substantial effect.

And while the India-Pakistan tete a tete on this continues, general Indians are getting despondent. Some are even found to castigate themselves for being citizens of such a soft state.

Now the question remains – when will terrorists linked to Mumbai attacks be finally penalized? Will it be ever? This is a grave question and nothing can be said at this juncture, if the India-Pakistan charade of Mumbai attacks is heeded.

According to the latest statement of Rehman Malik, Interior Minister of Pakistan, if India renders “substantive” and “actionable evidence” against so-called mastermind of 2008 Mumbai attacks Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, Pakistan will definitely act against him. "We had detained him (Saeed). The law does not go by statements but evidence. If we are provided actionable evidence, we will act against him," Malik said. What would Pakistan do if substantive and actionable evidences are sent to them by India remains to be seen.

No less than 166 people were killed and 300 left wounded in the 72-hour long Mumbai attacks in 2008. But people are apprehending something different now. Is the Indian governance trying to shed this horrific past? Government’s sluggish approaches make people think such.

Bangladesh squashes secular desires; finds solace in new pro-Islamic constitution

As part of stunning developments in the land of Bangladesh, reigning Awami League Government, brushing aside hopes of secularists of apposite restoration of Constitution of 1972 and thus strengthening chronicle of secularism in the country, has decided to retain “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim” and Islam as State Religion in fresh amendment of Constitution. The news, without a shred of doubt, has come as a shattering blow to proponents of secularism in Bangladesh hoping for years a secular, fundamentalism-free country. It can certainly be said that this approach of Awami League Government has not only delighted and strengthened Islamic fundamentalists in Bangladesh but has terrified minority groups– on the way to oblivion, once more also.

It has also been learnt that the decision of the existing government, signifying a radical shift from secularism to a pro-Islamic constitution, has exasperated a substantial population of the country too. These include pro-democracy, secularist activists and moderate Muslim population, not to speak of the minority Hindu, Christian and Buddhist groups.

What are the next steps of the government then? In accordance with government sources, an amendment of the constitution will be brought rapidly to preserve Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim (in the name of Allah in the preamble of the constitution, most gracious, most merciful), freewheel policy to religious biased politicking and Islam as state religion. All these came to light only after the approval of the amendments of the constitution by a meeting of cabinet ministers chaired by Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina recently.

There were dissensions as well. Both Finance Minister AMA Muhith and Planning Minister AK Khandker opposed the proposal of keeping Islam as state religion vehemently. As indicated by the ministers, it will be in conflict with the constitution of 1972 ascertaining the state should be secular with equal rights to all citizens practicing other religions including Hinduism, Buddhism and Christianity. When asked of ministers’ disagreements, Hasina remarked, “The committee report has been prepared in this regard on the basis of reality as there have been many changes in the past 40 years.”

Now let’s give a brief look into the Secular Constitution of 1972. The constitution stated clearly its guarantee to religious freedom and respect of all faiths and this was installed by none except Bangabandhu Shiekh Mujibur Rahman, father of present Prime Minister Hasina and also leader of Bangladesh’s struggle to Liberation from of Pakistan. Military juntas that ruled the country for 15 years furbished up the constitution, promoting Islamization of Bangladesh.

Think twice before courting a Muslim – it destroys a Hindu life only

Love is eternal, sanctified and regarded as one of the most noble attributes of humans from time immemorial. If the Hindu society is delved into, love is regarded here as one of the most essential aspects among an individual. Dharma also states categorically dearth of the same in any person would compel the society to ostracize him/her. Without a shred of doubt, all these are noble thoughts and hence, through centuries, there has never been any deficiency of love in Hindus, be it with the dearest ones or even with the dreadful enemies.

The question remains at the end of all these. What has been the benefit of Hindus after such benevolence through ages? They have been the worst sufferers of Islamic persecutions, if not more and are also looked upon as a conglomeration of insects that can be marauded, plundered and stamped out at anytime. Love Jihad, in full swing these days, enough to bewilder any Hindu youth, drag and finally convert him/her to Islam, is the latest manifestation of (ever) Aggressive Islam in India.


The saga of Love Jihad that started from Kerala, God’s own land, a few years back, is spreading like a wild fire across India. An assortment of such instances has been viewed, substantial number of these has been analyzed and just a few steps have been adopted to counter these, even if there has been a need of much more. Exposure of two following gruesome incidents would make reality easier. Islamic society and its views can be discerned easily from these.

Recently, fast track Court at Uluberia in Howrah District of Indian state of Bengal promulgated 12 years’ incarceration along with a fine of another three thousand rupees each for a ghastly murder of a House wife named Maududa Begum (25 years) by her husband Mustakin, mother-in-law Zubeda Begum, sister-in-law Pakeeza Begum and brother-in-law Sheikh Azizul, so far attempted on 29th February, 2008.

It has been learnt that Mustakin Sheikh got hitched with Maududa as his third wife on 26th August 2007 at Tehatt-Basudevpur in Howrah. Neighbors confirm that severe tortures of Mustakin made his past two wives escape and this was completely unknown to family of Maududa, a resident of Chengail near Uluberia. Notably, marriage of Mustakin and Maududa took place with a dowry of Rupees 50000 in cash and gold of 55 gms.

Mustakin’s rising demands and last of all, demand of 1 lakh rupees (as dowry) was becoming unbearable for Maududa's family. And its failure to gratify the demand made Maududa the worst victim. Finally, on 29th February, 2008 she was almost burnt alive by Mustakin, aided by his family members. Even if she was taken to SSKM Hospital, SSKM, Maududa died on March 4, 2008.

This is another incident that happened in Bangalore, IT capital of India at the moment. Poonam Rajput, 22-year-old lady from Delhi, was a passenger in an auto rickshaw along with her fiancé Rasheed on June 12, 2011. The vehicle collided with speeding BMTC bus in Yeshwantpur and as a result, Poonam gave in to her injuries.

As per police reports, they had ran off from Dehli and were staying in Yeshwantpur for four months. There is another twist to this. Rasheed, subsequent investigations proved, fled the scene with Poonam’s jewels following her admission to a hospital.

The above-mentioned incidents are not exceptions at all but are getting common almost in every nook of India. More and more such reports are coming to the fore and it can be you or your cousin or your friend – latest victim. Beware of all these and steer clear of idea of courting a Muslim individual ever – it will lead to the end of a Hindu life only. Don’t forget that “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”.

Is Pakistan fortifying anti-India alliance through sending ancient relics to Sri Lanka?

A new gesture from Pakistan indeed! And this is said not without reason. Pakistan or the country infested with multifarious terrorist movements and also being regarded as cradle of worldwide Islamic terrorism has sent the most sanctified relics of Lord Buddha to Sri Lanka. As per Pakistan government’s versions, this is just a bid to present the richest Buddhist historical bequest to the people of Sri Lanka.

Relics arrived in Sri Lanka of late for a certain period and will be exhibited at Colombo Museum in the existing month. It has also been learnt that following the finale of the exhibition, relics will be taken back to Pakistan. The consecrated relics was received at the airport by Speaker to Sri Lanka Chamal Rajapaksa in conjunction with High Commissioner of Pakistan, Seema Ilahi Baloch, and an assortment of other officials. Dr Paul Bhatti, Adviser to the Prime Minister of Pakistan on Minorities Affairs and a high-level team of the Pakistan’s Archaeology Department brought these relics to Sri Lanka.

There is no doubt that these relics form important part of the archaeological heritage of Pakistan and also represent the rich Buddhist history in the country. Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka, introduced holy relics at Maligakanda Temple in Colombo for the public exposition.

It has also come to the knowledge that the exhibition in Colombo will put these high quality cultural assets from the Gandhara region of Pakistan including four sacred artifacts on show. The artifacts contain the collection of museums in both Peshawar and Taxila in Pakistan. There is also the presence of sacred tooth relics of Lord Buddha, Kanishka Relic Casket from Shah-Ji-Ki-Dheri, stone reliquary in stupa shape and Golden Casket.

But there are some other questions as well. Without doubt, if we look at the history, Buddhism has left a colossal and affluent legacy of art and architecture in modern-day Pakistan. Centuries have passed but Gandhara region continues to preserve its rich legacy for all. However, this was not noticeable for the rulers of Pakistan from its inception. On the contrary, Islamic hardliners were more interested to crush these artifacts, known as un-Islamic for them. Pakistani ruling class preferred to remain silent on these.

What is the main factor behind this abrupt bonhomie? Political analysts term this as a desperate act for Pakistan, feeling lonely in the global arena increasingly, especially after recent Osama episode. Sri Lanka, therefore, is one of its last hopes. Perhaps, through sending relics Pakistan is trying to fortify its desire for regional dominance and bid to encircle India.

Is India serious to end illegal Muslim infiltration from Bangladesh?

Illegal Muslim infiltration from Bangladesh to India has been a major concern for the Indian governance and unless apposite measures are adopted to call this bane a halt straight away, Indians will have to lament only. Such articles or news are no new to us and better to say, we have got acquainted to all these by now. But the question remains before us – what steps have been adopted by the State of India to stop it yet. The issue is no insignificant one but poses a grave threat to the national security and solidarity, at the same instant. Such intrusion is in full swing and as per demographic experts, if this population explosion goes unchecked its consequences can overwhelm perilous effects of any nuclear explosion even.

In accordance with sources, exponential illegal Muslim migration from Bangladesh to Indian Bengal took place during 1981-91 phase, utilizing strange silence of Left Front, ruling the state then. It is also alleged that a certain portion of then central governance supported this stand of lefts clandestinely. Let’s look into a few more pertinent reports.

According to reports (even the central intelligence agencies have not challenged these), no less than ten million Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators are in Bengal. Apart from this, 55 lakh infiltrators are in Assam, 4 lakh in Tripura and 5 lakh in Bihar (Katihar, Purnia and Kishenganj districts) and Jharkhand (Sahebganj district).

Here is a list of few worst-affected districts in Bengal. These are border districts like North and South Dinajpur, Cooch Behar, Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda and North and South 24 Parganas. Affected areas in the state of Assam are Dhubri, Goalpara, Karimganj and Hailakandi.

Kailashar, Sabrum, Udaipur and Belonia areas in the state of Tripura are also undergoing (similar) fast worsening situations. Don’t get stupefied to note that 115 assembly constituencies in Bengal are influenced by these infiltrators.

Who can be accused of cozening the country? Surely they include key members in the Indian governance along with an assortment of political parties. National media, from time to time, has castigated Indian governance for retaining a strange silence in this regard. Only one factor can be deduced. Since Muslims cast votes en masse conforming to dictates of their religious leaders, no party dares to exclude them.

A single question, if pertinent and also imperative, can be asked for thousand times. The same question is asked again – what governments have done to nip this perilous aggression from other side of the other border in bud. The answer is no and if pressurized, there is one and only answer – the government is keeping close watch on entire development. The answer fails to be a solace for any Indian, when law and order (in both border and interior districts of India) owing to rising infiltration has become a travesty. Indeed incompetence is ruling the roost in India!

Is Indian administration serious enough to defeat this nasty design? We have become skeptical of its sincerity, above all.

Can United States end up Islamic terrorism after Laden?

Will annihilation of Osama bin Laden call Islamic terrorism across the globe a halt? This is the big, better to say biggest question of the day, and notably, a chunk of worldwide population has started to accept that American suzerainty would finally put an end to worldwide Islamic terrorism. Had there been any chance of success of such a belief, it would have been best. Sadly, the aim can’t be attained and this can be said without doubt.

What impedes US and other mighty forces from gaining the ultimate victory? This issue must be introspected and there must not be any more delay. Truly speaking, Islamic aggressiveness, forming the basis of modern global terrorism, is not similar to any dogma like Marxism, Fascism, Nazism or the neo-Left ideals that overwhelmed 60s of Europe.

The central theory has been the same from its inception. To be precise, spreading of Islam across the globe through violent ways, adopting any measure to Islamize rest of the globe is both permissible and sacrosanct under Islamic canons. The problem starts from here and unless anti-Islamic terrorism forces accept this and adopt apposite measures, there can’t be any gain.

Islamic terrorist acts conducted in May, 2011 would reveal the same. These are in the following lines.
