I always thought that the Hindus were short changed by the partition. Narain Kataria from New York articulates this forcefully and I wish to share it with you.
"Hindus have not just one but one million reasons to be angry at
Muslims in India. Let me list only a few of them for Mr. Kawaja's
kind-hearted understanding, even though I believe Mr. Kawaja is
deliberately acting to be ignorant of the reasons behind this Hindu
mindset and the history – past and present. So, I will try to make
it as simple and as clear for him as possible… and, for all
those 'secularists' and Leftists who pretend to be naive just like
Mr. Kawaja.
1. First of all, Hindus hold Muslims responsible for the
vivisection of their country that they consider as their MOTHER.
Hindus adorably call it Bharat-Mata, Matru-Bhoomi, Puniya-Bhoomi,
Dharma-Bhoomi, Swarag-Bhoomi, etc.
2. Hindus cannot understand why the Muslims are still living in
India. It is a well-known fact that in 1946 elections, more than
90% of the Muslims voted for the breakup of the greater India and
the creation of a Muslim land called Pakistan. Despite getting
their Muslim land – believe it or not – only 15% Muslims left for
the Pakistan and 85% of them stayed put in India. Hindus really want
all these Muslims living in India to leave Hindus alone in their
country.
3. Hindus are upset that Muslims are having a cake and want to
eat it too. Thus, Hindus can see that Muslims have opened a
separate bank account for Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh, while
they are operating a joint bank account with Hindus in India. This
is not right and absolutely unfair. Hindus do not want to share the
India with Muslims.
4. Again, at the time of Partition of India in 1947, there were
20% Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan. Now there are only 1% or so. In
1947 there were more than 30% Hindus in East Pakistan (now
Bangladesh), at this time there are only 8% Hindus there. Hindus
want Muslims to explain what happened to all those Hindus. Hindus
are absolutely unhappy about the ethnic cleansing of Hindus in
Pakistan and Bangladesh.
5. Conversely, during the same period the Muslim population in
India has been rising with leaps and bounds. Muslim numbers in
India have risen from 9% in 1951 to 15% now. Hindus abhor this. In
the unprecedented rise of Muslim population in India, Hindus clearly
see a mortal threat to their very existence as Hindus. They see this
as a conspiracy to breakup and divide their country all over again.
6. Hindus simply will never be able to forget the massive scale
of rapes, murders, loot and mayhem let lose by Muslims on the
peaceful Hindus in Kashmir and the vicious ethnic cleansing in their
own country.
7. How can Hindus forget massacre of our 35 Sikh brothers at
Chattisinghpora in the State of Jammu and Kashmir in year 2000, an
attack on Jammu and Kashmir State Legislature in October, 2001,
another attack on the India's National Parliament in December 2001,
yet another attack on the American Cultural Center in January 2002,
the roasting alive of 56 women and children in February 2002 at
Godhra Railway Station in Gujarat State, the killing of more than 30
members of families of Army personnel in May 2002, serial bomb
attacks on passenger trains and public places in the country's
financial capital Mumbai on August 2005 that killed 46 people and
injured 160, another devilish attack on the Hindu religious place,
the Akshardham Temple in September 2002 – 29 individuals including
16 women and four children killed, the butchering of Hindus in Mau
in State of Uttar Pradesh, the Delhi bomb blasts in October 2005 –
70 people killed, massacre of Gujjars in Doda and Udhampur, in
State of Jammu and Kashmir in May 2006, a second series of Mumbai
train bomb blasts in July 2006 – 200 people dead, a separate series
of bomb blasts in Lucknow, Varanasi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Bangluru –
hundreds killed.
8. While Hindus in Jammu agitating for the legitimate rights of
Hindu pilgrims in Amernath raise the slogan of Bharat Mata ki Jai,
the Muslims in Srinagar, to the great mortification and chagrin of
Hindus, wave green flags of Pakistan and openly raise the slogans of
Pakistan Zindabad (long live Pakistan)! This treacherous behavior
of Muslims is unacceptable and outrageous to Hindus and causes a
serious heartburn to them.
9. Recently, in a shocking disclosure, India's National
Security Advisor, M.K. Narayanan while talking to newsmen in
Singapore disclosed that 800 terrorist cells are operating in the
country. These home grown terrorists are none other than the Indian
Muslims who provide shelter, guidance, financial assistance and
other infrastructure facilities to the terrorists to kill more and
more Hindus and destabilize Indian economy. Hindus have every
reason to express their indignation and angst at this blatant anti-
national activity.
10. All Kashmiri Muslims are doing roaring business all over
India. There are Haj Houses all over the country. But the Muslim
leaders are openly and repeatedly declaring that they would not
give "an inch of land" in Hindu India to Shri Amarnath Shrine
Board. What an act of ingratitude!
11. Hindus simply cannot erase from their memory the Great Killings
of Calcutta on August 16-17, 1946 in which more than 5,000 Hindus
were butchered by Muslim fanatics supported by the Muslim Chief
Minister of Bengal. Hindus also vividly recall the genocide of
5,000 unarmed Hindus in Noakhali in Bengal State around the same
time. Hindus simply cannot forget the beastly brutalities
perpetrated by the West Pakistani Muslim military establishment on
the East Pakistan Hindus during the Bangladesh uprising in 1971.
Events like these are unparalleled in the history of humanity.
12. Describing the unimaginable capacity of the Muslim mind to
conduct the dance of devil, Mr. A. Ghosh, the celebrated author of
book "Kafir and Quran," writes: "In many cases a whole community (of
Hindus in East Pakistan) was encircled. Mothers and daughters were
raped on a mass scale, in presence of brothers or fathers. Breasts
of elderly ladies were chopped off. Pregnant women were
disemboweled; infants' heads were smashed on the floor. Then
followed the chopping off of genitals, gouging out of eyes, and on
and on and on. As a grand finale, everybody was put in a house and
the house was set on fire."
