Telangana and Qubec (Canada) Smt. Usha Balaji, Malkajgiri In Canada, the eastern province of Qubec is French -speaking and fiercely francofile. There is a Qubec Party (Parti Quebeqois) which had been campaigning for the secession of Qubec from Canada to become an Independent sovereign French speaking state in north Americas. That party wins the provincial elections but in any referendum for secession and independence, it does not get a majority. Therefore it uses the threat of secession in order to get the maximum concessions from the central government. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) appears to be one like the Party Quebecois. The TRS holds to the threat of separation from Andhra Pradesh and for a new state to get ministerships in the Union Cabinet and by the grace of the AP Congress, ministerships in AP also. The Muslim majority secessionist Kashmir has been able to wrest financial packages of Rs.11,000 cr form the NDA government and Rs.26,000 crores from the UPA government for ‘development’. This is the “bakshis” they seek and get, by holding the threat of separation. At Rs.37,000 per capita, the separatist Kashmir has received the highest munificence from the Union government. And it is now wanting utmost autonomy so that the money extracted from the Union government can be used by those in power to quit poverty and become opulent. The “minorities” in India are also succeeding in holding the union government to ransom by their furiously proliferating numbers and so vote power. Every party in the country is trying to bid the highest price like reservations, minority college, separate welfare grants and development funds and housing, more subsidies for Haj etc., to win their favours and votes. * * * Infertility in Congress David Raju, Hyderabad When animals or men are infertile, artificial insemination is resorted to produce a progeny. Also in animal breeding improvements are effected by artificial insemination by using semen from the best breed of the species. Similarly, it may be worthwhile that the Dynasty be asked to improve and upgrade the caliber of Congressmen. We may then have a large number of Nehru -like leaders. There can still be doubt whether it will be the Nehru - like generation or Firoz Gandhi type of generation that would ensue. Yet, it may be worthwhile so that the National Congress of more than 100 years history is rejuvenated. * * * Ethnic Cleansing In J&K Sowmya Thomas, Kajipet Let us be truthful. Ethnic cleansing has been the continuous and open practice in Muslim majority areas in this Indian subcontinent when once the Moslems are empowered to do so. Pakistan’s 18% Hindu -Muslim population in 1947 has been cleansed down to about 1% now. Bangladesh’ s Hindu-Buddhist population has been cleansed from 13% to 9%. In the Kashmir Valley within India, through terrorism almost all the Hindus have been ethnically cleansed and they are refugees in other places in India. The same exercise not being carried out in the Hindu majority Jammu and Buddhist majority Laddakh. These two areas are having to suffer ethnic cleansing because thy are part of the over all Muslim majority J&K State. Muslims and Christians have become Chief Ministers and Governors of Hindu majority States but no Hindu has become either a CM in a Christian or Muslim majority State in this country. The BJP –led coalition had been in power for almost six years between 1998-2004. From the Jana Sangh days onwards, the widespread demand of Hindus has been that unless Jammu and Laddakh are given autonomy like J&K or unless they are separated out into a Jammu State which has clear Hindu majority and Laddakh a Buddhist majority area as a Union Territory, the Hindus and Buddhists would become minority very soon in Jammu and laddakh areas also. Did the BJPled NDA government do anything to avert this calamity which has been afflicting the Hindus and Buddhists in J&K since the 1950s. Is it that only when the BJP is out of power it would talk of ending the temporary Art-370 and fully integrate J&K with the rest of the country? Is it that only when it is out of power, it will agitate about the peril of ethnic cleansing in Jammu and Laddakh? It is unfortunate that the BJP in power has not even attempted to what it advocated and stood for over for five decades. There are several BJP-ruled States some of them with more than two thirds majority. Within the powers that are available in the realm of the State, why does not the BJP implement its policies 14 “Secularism” Combat, July 2006
in regard to protection of Hindu temples; conversions; reclaiming Hindus temples converted into mosques; promote Sanskrit and true history of India in the schools in their States? Why don’t they start National Universities which will bring out the true history and culture of India through the ages instead of the history being manufactured in the Marxist madrasas, by its Imams namely the Jawaharlal Nehru University and its “eminent” historians. If the BJP is to espouse the principles and the ideologies for which it was founded only when it is in the opposition, and not implement them when in power, then it is no different from the Congress party. Throughout the history of India Hindus had been betrayed by Hindus. That is how this country fell prey to foreign rule. * * * Sonia’s Spin Doctors Lingam Yadav, Hyderabad The petrol and kerosene prices are to be increased, quite justifiably. The Petroleum Minister increased them by a certain amount against which the non- Congress parties mainly the CPM and some regional parties like TDP are holding demonstrations and haranguing denunciations. Then there is an appeal to Her Majesty Sonia Gandhi, the Supremo of the Congress (and of the country courtesy CPM). Her heart bleeds at the extra burden imposed by a thoughtless and heartless Minister. She imperiously tells the government to reduce the increases by a rupee. This is very good drama. Her Majesty, Soniaji sees in some of her Ministers capitalist stooges and even agents of the World Bank. The great and compassionate Sonia is for the people, for the poor owners of automobiles and poor and downtrodden kerosene users. So in a dramatic way, the people’s burden is reduced by an appeal to her. That is how a legend and mystique is built around this great, silent, unaccountable queen mother of this country. Indira Gandhi used to reshuffle her Cabinet very frequently for dropping some and picking up some others conveying the message that she wants to do good but what can she do if the men in her flock are useless. Soniaji has taken a great lesson from the great Indira Gandhi. * * * Create a Sindhu State Pradip Jain, RR Dist When the partition of India to create the Islamic State of Pakistan became inevitable, leaders like Shyama Prasad Mukherji said that if Jinnah divides India, we will divide Pakistan i.e Punjab and Bengal, whole of each of which Jinnah was claiming for Pakistan. So we have saved for India the Punjab and West Bengal States which had Hindu-Sikh majorities. It was unfortunate that the leaders at the time of partition did not like -wise think of dividing Sindh which also had a few districts with Hindu majority. Notable among them is the Thar Parkar District. Its population was 90% Hindu. which It is adjacent to the Kutch area of Gujarat and Rajasthan. Just as Punjab and Bengal were divided to salvage the Hindu districts we should have insisted to get Thar Parkar and called eh east Sindh state eastern Sindh, just as we are having West Bengal. Chittagoan was not a Muslim majority but an overwhelmingly Buddhist majority area in east Pakistan, now Bangladesh. It is adjacent to Triupura. The Indian leaders did not have the foresight and the boldness and integrity to demand that Chittagaon should become part of Tripura. No borders are permanent. We must hope that one day a strong resurgent nationalist India will reclaim both Thar Parkar and Chittagaon for India. In the mean while, it would be most patriotic to create Sindh state comprising of Kutch and Anjar in Gujarat. The Sindhu -Saraswathi Valleys area was the mother of Vedic civilization. In order to keep our memories undying, it is great that during NDA rule an annual festival, “Sindhu Darshan” was initiated and Indians are going to that portion of the river Sindhu which is flowing through Kashmir. Similarly, the creation of a Sindhu state would keep up our historic links and memories with the birth of our Vedic civilization. Luckily, most people in Kutch and around speak Sindhi as well as Gujarat. And Gujarat has a nationalist government under the leadership of Sri Narendra Modi. Patriotic people should demand that just as new states Uttaranchal and Chattisghar and Jharkhand (Telengana, in future) are created, a new state East Sindh should be created and in that process, Gujarat State Assembly must pass a resolution in favour of the creation of the new state and request the center to complete the necessary formalities. All Sindhi people in India and outside the country must unitedly work for the creation of a Sindh state. In our National Anthem the second area to be mentioned is “Secularism” Combat, July 2006 15
