The fervent patriotism and soaring idealism of the distinguished members of the recently formed NATIONAL ALERT GROUP (NAG) have to be congratulated by all the peace-loving Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and other citizens of India for having issued a statement condemning the irresponsible ministerial conduct of two of the senior ministers of the Union Cabinet, Union HRD Minister Arjun Singh and Union Minorities Minister A R Antulay, at a Cabinet Meeting presided over by our voluntarily non-playing, ever-blind and ever-dumb Prime Minister. These two shameful ministers with a proven track record of integrity and moral character excelling even that of Mahatma Gandhi in today's Sonia Congress's secular sense had stated that 'certain Hindu groups normally faked terrorist attacks and blamed them routinely on peace-loving and compassionate Muslims'. Both of them had made vitriolic comments on the alleged involvement of the RSS and some Hindu organisations in some of these blasts. They were expressing their 'secular' views on the recent Mumbai blasts at that Cabinet Meeting. The whole nation owes a debt of gratitude to Sharad Pawar for having warned these two irresponsible cabinet colleagues then and there for trivialising a serious matter of life and death for the nation as a whole.
Minion bugle boys of minority vote bank politics of the Congress Party like Arjun Singh and Antulay today may have virulent hatreds for the Hindus in general and the RSS in particular. They seem to be blissfully unaware of the fact that they are very mortal despite their secular ignorance of their own insignificance in the never receding tide of history and the ruthless march of time. Despite the best attempts of the Congress government at the Centre under Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru from 1947 to 1964, Indira Gandhi from 1966 to 1977 and 1980 to 1984, Rajiv Gandhi from 1984 to 1989 and Narasimha Rao from 1991 to 1996, to ban and crush the RSS, it has grown into a mighty banyan tree embracing the whole of India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Rann of Kutch to Arunachal Pradesh.
A few months ago the BBC had come out with a TV programme in which they had announced to the world that the RSS is the biggest voluntary non-Governmental social welfare organization in the whole world. On reading this, I have no doubt, Arjun Singh would persuade the Prime Minister to depute Antulay, Union Minister for Minorities Welfare, immediately to England for persuading the British Government to suitably admonish the BBC for having come out with such a communal, saffronized, pro-Hindutva and anti-Islamic programme!
This year the nation is celebrating the centenary year of Sri Guruji, the Second Sar Sanghchalak of the RSS. After a life-time of saintly, sacred, selfless and ceaseless service for the advancement of Sanatana Dharma, the glory of Bharat Mata and victory of Bharat without losing sight of the ultimate ideal of achieving Akhand Bharat, Sri Guruji passed away in 1973. Like Swami Vivekananda, he embodied the spirit of India. Unlike Arjun Singh, Antulay, Ram Vilas Paswan, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Mulayam Singh Yadav, he had no personal axe to grind and in the pursuit of his chosen ideals, languor was not in his heart, base lust was not in his body, weakness was not in his word, weariness was not on his brow. At any rate, the political message of pseudo-secularism and the mercenary message of minority appeasement were not on his lips. All the peace-loving citizens of India expect all our political leaders in these dastardly decadent days to emulate Sri Guruji's example of dedicated life.
The greatest migration in human history took place at the time of Indian partition when two nations were born on August 14/15, 1947. Tens of thousands of Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and other non-Muslims were brutally murdered on their way to India, in areas of West Punjab which became Pakistan and in areas of undivided Bengal which became East Pakistan. The Cabinet Mission Plan proposals of 1946 were accepted by the Congress party and rejected by the Muslim League under Jinnah at the extraordinary meeting of The Council of the All India Muslim League in Bombay on 27 June, 1946. Jinnah declared with Islamic clarity: What we have done today is the most heroic act in our history. Never have we in the whole history of the League done anything except by constitutional methods. But now we are forced into a new position. Today, we bid goodbye to constitutional methods. .. Today we have forged a pistol and are in a position to use it. I call it 'Direct Action'. Direct Action means any action against the Law. We mean every word of it. We do not believe in equivocation. Then he quoted the Persian Poet Firdausi, in these words: 'If you seek peace, we do not want war. But if you want war, we will accept it unhesitatingly'. Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, later a member of the Pakistan Government, declared: 'Pakistan can be achieved through shedding blood of ourselves, and if need be, and if opportunity arose, by shedding blood of others. Muslims are no believers in Ahimsa'
The Muslim League Bengal Government under Suhrawardy declared August 16, 1946 to be a public holiday throughout Bengal, to celebrate the 'Direct Action Day'. The Bengal Police, mostly Muslim in personnel, if not actually in complicity, were definitely indifferent to the murder, loot and arson of the Hindus going on around them in Calcutta City. Such a horrible carnage had not been heard of in the preceding half a century. The Muslim mobs consisting of people who mostly wore the uniforms of the 'Muslim National Guards' carried the Muslim League Flag, burnt, massacred, looted and raped, shouting the slogans: Dena hoga Pakistan; Pakistan kayam karo, etc.
The Statesman of Calcutta wrote: The Muslim League Ministry hesitated whether a little rioting would not after all be good and so nothing effective was done to summon the military and to quell rioting, which could not be done by the demoralized police force, over-weighed by its Muslim personnel.
What shocked the conscience of India even more than Calcutta, was the large-scale murder, loot, arson, rape and abduction and forced marriage of Hindu women in the Novakali district of Eastern Bengal in October, 1946. The Muslim League had triumphed in its evil designs and the Congress Party under Gandhi, Nehru and Patel had failed to protect the Hindus of India.
The history of the period from August 16, 1946 to the end of 1947 is a chequerboard of cataclysmic events. It is a story of unprecedented uprooting of masses of humanity on a gigantic scale, and of the cruellest possible massacres by fiends in human form. It is the history of the height of Jihadi madness unleashed by the Muslim League and of our national political leadership's shameful, disgraceful and unending perpetual submission to the machinations and blackmailing of the Muslim League. To quote the beautiful words of Manik Chandra Vajpayee and Sridhar Paradkar in their landmark book 'Partition-Days: The Fiery Saga of RSS': This period also has a brighter side to it. It was in this period that Bharat became independent, even if at the cost of partition and our Tricolour proudly replaced the Union Jack. This period also wrote the black history of the unforgivable betrayal of the people by self-seeking and cowardly Indian politicians, and on the other hand, it recounted in glowing terms, the heroic and inspiring stories of how workers of patriotic organizations like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) showed exceptional courage and discipline and laid their ling on the line to protect and serve the society. This period also glows with the flames of Jauhar committed by innumerable daughters of Bharat Mata to protect their honour and the integrity of their bodies against Muslim marauders.
The magnificent role played by the Swayamsevaks of the R.S.S. during those dark days has been overlooked by the mafia of mass media in India after independence. The anti-Hindu and anti-Sanatana Dharma Congress governments after independence have tried to treat all the Hindus of India as Kafirs or infidels fit enough only to be kept in a state of bonded labour and all the time used as fodder for serving the narrow political interests of a single family in India, i.e. the Nehru clan.
The acts of heroism, the deeds of self-sacrifice, the saga of splendid self-abnegation and above all the splendid story of the unmatched record of the RSS volunteers in safely conducting the non-Muslim refugees from both West and East Pakistan immediately after partition to different places in Northern India have all been beautifully documented in their great book 'Partition-Days: The fiery Saga of RSS' by Manik Chandra Vajpayee and Sridhar Paradkar. The great deeds of these Swayamsevaks will continue to gleam and glow through the gloom of the coming Ages. To conclude in the inspiring words of General Cariappa: 'RSS is my heart's work. My dear young men, don't be disturbed by uncharitable comments of interested persons. Look ahead! Go ahead! The country is standing in need of your services'. Long after Arjun Singh and Antulay are forgotten and put into the dust bin of history, the name of Gen. Cariappa will continue to shine like a polestar for Ages to come.
