In the
first part we focused on PM Modi’s approach to Hindu temples and that all the
BJP saffron clothing and temple-runs don’t really mean anything to the issue of
freeing temples from govt control. Having razed 80 temples in Gandhinagar for
public construction, one will naturally ask “what about illegal mosques or dargahs”. Usually, the illegal
mosques are within the Muslim ghettos but there might be a few dargahs here and
there that obstruct public movement. I could recall only one such case where a
dargah had to be demolished in Baroda. And that was quite a ruckus. The 80
Hindu temples were razed during the wee hours of night while everyone was
sleeping. So, there were agitations or protests. But in the case of just one dargah in Baroda that had to be demolished, the
reaction from Muslims was predictably with violence. This was in 2006 and the
police had to resort to firing to quell the mob. Two people were killed and 7
injured in the violence. That is why so many preachers of “peace” just ahead of the Ayodhya verdict.
It is a
known fact that where an illegal mosque or dargah comes into question and the
encroachment has to be removed, the agitation and associated violence comes
like second nature. Hindus don’t react violently where temples are concerned.
In 2011, an illegal mosque in Jangpura,
Delhi had to be demolished. There were protests, violence and blockade of roads
and traffic. That is the expected. But what should stun you is how quickly the
Sickulars suck up to Muslims and try to console them with appeasement:
While the
demolition and protests happened early in the day, by evening then CM Sheila Dikshit met the hate-mongering Imam Bukhari and reached a “deal” and
assured them to rebuild the mosque. Increasingly, our cowardly govts all over
give out only one message – ONLY
VIOLENCE WORKS when it comes to protecting religious buildings. In
Hyderabad, the GHMC wanted to undertake road widening as part of development
which involved demolition of some mosques. The GHMC paid 2.5 crore to the illegal encroachers in the mosque
as compensation. The Waqf objected to even that because they claimed the land
was under them and the mosque shouldn’t have been demolished. Want some more?
In Bangalore, a “compound wall” of a mosque was demolished for road-widening
only after “consultations”
with the Shia community. Such courtesies
are never extended to the Hindu community anywhere.
The other
great obsession of Indian politicians is eradication of poverty. It started
with “Garibi Hatao” from Indira Gandhi and the Congress still
chants that slogan. ModiSarkar has lifted more people above poverty line than
the Congress did in 50 years and for that PM Modi deserves much credit. But
when it comes to media, NGOs and other non-state actors – the first thing they
think of when it comes to poverty is “temple
funds”:
In a
stupid article, the morons of IndiaToday listed 10 Hindu temples whose wealth
could eradicate poverty. This included the Golden Temple of the Sikhs. But
these same criminals never dare to ask what funds and assets the Muslims, their
Waqf boards or the Christians have. The Church
of South India (CSI) was conducting its operations in such a manner that
the courts deemed it a “Company” and, therefore, company laws will apply to it.
The CSI reportedly has assets worth 1
Lakh crore and receipts of 1000 crores periodically. Not one rupee from all
this wealth ever goes into any spend for the benefit of the poor or society in
general. Devendra Fadnavis govt of
Maharashtra has been so stupid on this front that it gave lands at a cheap price
to Baba Ramdev and Hema Malini for commercial purposes and then borrowed 500
crores from the Shirdi Temple Trust
for projects:
The irony
and stupidity of Fadnavis borders on the intolerable. The lands given to Baba
Ramdev and Hema Malini, even with discounts, could have easily fetched 500
crores more. And the BRD enterprise is not some poor charitable organisation. Patanjali Ayurved Limited’s assets were
worth Rs.32 billion with annual turnover of 10000 crores in March 2018.
It’s a limited company and not some charity. So, by what logic did Fadnavis “Gift” land”
(reserved for BHEL) to them at dirt-cheap prices? Nobody knows, nobody asks. And
the manner in which Fadnavis-govt just went ahead and stole 500 crores from
Shirdi Trust is laughable.
The loot
of 500 crores for purposes of “irrigation” was proposed by Fadnavis and the
approval quickly came from Suresh Haware.
Now, who is Suresh Haware? He’s another BJP guy and the Chairman of the Shirdi
Trust. How did he get to be the Chairman? Well, he was appointed by the
Fadnavis govt in 2016 as Shirdi is under govt control. So, you see, this
laughable circle of corruption in looting temples is not merely a Sickular
disease. It’s the “Salma-Sabrina” of
temple loot. It is one of the main reasons why ModiSarkar or any BJP govt
will not let go of govt control of temples. Because they too are looters and
some day they hope to be in power in Andhra or another state where massive loot
of temples consistently happens. And Ayodhya
Ram Mandir will be another Golden Goose when it is finally constructed and
ready for devotees.
Hindus
are passionately expecting ModiSarkar to free temples from govt control. They live in the delusion that BJP does not
loot temples. The only state where the BJP govt wouldn’t dare touch temple
funds is Gujarat. And that is the reason I started with the Gujarat model of
temple management and Hindu community-strength in the first part. The BJP was
nurtured by Hindu money and temple money “voluntarily” by these communities in
Gujarat. That is how they grew from a one-state wonder to a national giant now
ruling a majority of states. The BJP grew to power mostly on Hindu money from
Gujaratis but when they got to other states they have become as Sickular as the
Congress or any other Commie party. They don’t do any Sickular acts in Gujarat
but in other states they short-change Hindus and give them a rough deal. Hindus
pay for the BJP sins in these states. The Fadnavis-govt in particular has been
distasteful towards Hindu sentiments:
Graveyard
land is allocated next to a temple at Ambernath near Mumbai. Normally
graveyards should be located outside normal residence and commercial areas. But
allotting a graveyard close to a temple is a terrible act. Then the case goes
to court and the courts give further sermons on “Sickularism”. The egg is not
the court, the egg is the BJP itself when it comes to closet Sickularism. In
the case on the right pic above, someone is collecting donations from the
public to stop the building of cemeteries near a 500-year old Ganesh temple in
TN. When BJP itself does this, where is the question of the party ever standing
up for Hindus? This is the delusion that Hindus must get out of.
ModiSarkar
has recently announced that 1800 illegal colonies of slums, involving a
population of 50 lakhs, will be regularised. I guess that is to combat the
“Devta of Illegals Arvind Kejriwal” in the run-up to Delhi elections next year.
All very fine. If you want to make the lives of the poor more liveable, then
nobody would bother much. But what about
illegal mosques in Delhi? Will they also be regularised? This is not me or
some aggrieved Hindu saying it. This is BJP’s own member who has been listing
illegal mosques in Delhi:
And BJP
MP Parvesh Varma is citing only “West” Delhi. What about other parts of Delhi?
Invariably, as these illegal mosques age, they then become regular buildings
and as years pass, they become more difficult to remove and will eventually be
“regularised” like the 40000 illegal colonies. So, ModiSarkar is not only blind
to pleas of freeing Hindu temples from govt control, it is also blind to
illegal mosques right under their nose in Delhi. What are you gonna do? Want
some more? Here is an interesting ruling from the courts in Rajasthan.
That quoted statement was made by the Rajasthan govt to the HC in 2010. 58000 illegal
mosques and temples on govt land. How many have been demolished? I am not aware
as I couldn’t find a comprehensive report on the figures. But I can guarantee
that a vast majority of these 58000 are definitely mosques. Had they been
temples, the govt wouldn’t have hesitated in demolishing them. As city-slickers,
we don’t notice much but vast swathes of rural towns across India have mosques
springing up all over the place like pimples on a teenager’s face. Whether it’s
the Jalgaon-Aurangabad route, Ahmedabad-Udaipur route or Chennai-Bangalore route. The
Biryani-town of Ambur between
Chennai and Bangalore has become such a ghetto that even police don’t dare to
act on crimes in the small town. As recently as this week, Muslims tried to
construct another illegal mosque in Bareilly
(UP). They had managed to make the “kuchha” structure and put a “Topi” on
it but the police intervened in time and locked up the place:
In states
where Congress and other Sickulars are running the govt, such illegal
constructions abound and nobody stops them. The Christians put up a cross where
they find a vacant land, the Muslims put a small masjid or create a Dargah in
places where no one is watching. The Ram
Mandir issue has been resolved after nearly 500 years of struggle by the
Hindus. But it is quite possible the Muslim litigants may seek a review
petition as it is not the mosque that
they want – it’s their ego and their desire to deny Hindus their holy lands and
shrines that drives their leaders. The more despicable disease is that of
Muslims, Christians and non-Hindus in the boards of Tirupati or Vaishnodevi
Board. These boards are not “clerical” jobs that anyone can fit in. These jobs
require a certain amount of devotion to the deity and the devotees they are
meant to serve. We should all remember what a terrible mess Azam Khan made of the Kumbh Mela once.
We have
understood enough of the problems and enough of the criminal anti-Hindu,
anti-temple practices various govts over the last 72 years. We need to focus on
how we can get rid of govt from Hindu properties of devotion. That is easier
said than done because every govt is greedy and wants to loot temples. But
Hindus cannot expect govt to do this, they must do it themselves and we will
explore ways to do it.
To
be concluded…
