The saga of
change “Poriborton” in Bengal has had its first anniversary by now and
certainly, it does contain an assortment of prospects at the same instant.
These are political, economic along with many others. But there is another fact
as well. Whatever may be the aspects, Hindus inhabiting rural Bengal are being
victimized more and more following the same change. And this happens to be the most brutal and
apparent reality. Mosques are being
built in Hindu areas forcibly; governmental lands are also becoming easy preys
to Islamists. Thefts and robberies are increasing by leaps and bounds; rapes of
Hindu women under veiled lootings are also getting common increasingly.
And rapes are
not alone at the same time also. How can desecrations and lootings of Hindu
temples with ever-increasing assaults on Hindus be evaded? Can anyone deny the
horror of Taranagar Rupnagar that happened recently? In spite of being unusual in the national
scenario, such episodes are becoming daily affairs almost in extensive areas.
What can Hindus
do then? They do go to the police and
administration, remaining indifferent to them always, if not more. And to steer
clear of any dispute, police is found to adopt a few measures these days. They
do not accept any complaint of Hindus against Islamists; besides, they do not
receive any application with stamps – violating legal procedures highly.
Experiences prove that most illegal jobs are done by police on the whole.
If Hindus (being
helpless) exert pressure while making FIR or submitting any complaint against
Islamists, they are prevented by police officials in every capacity and this ranges
from admonition (of arresting them) to use of slanderous words. Incidents where
complainants are arrested are no more uncommon.
But the same
police force gets highly proactive at a number of times and myriad instances of
it are available. Some of them are – charge against 61 Hindus in Bhasna
Benepara, P.S. Dhola owing to the death (result of mass thrashing) of a Muslim
dacoit caught red-handed, horrific torture on Hindu women in midnight as part
of a raid in quest of culprits following death of two Muslim dacoits (owing to
mass beating) caught then and there in Jalaberia. Role of police in Taranagar
Rupnagar is just the opposite.
To be precise,
police has lost its vitality and impartiality in the Indian state of Bengal and
has turned itself into a mere bootlicker of the party in power. It has become
the greatest sycophant of Islamic felons as well. Hindus, as a result, living
in rural areas have lost confidence on police and this pathetic reality is
giving rise to mass thrashing. If the administration in Bengal does not become
proactive and completely impartial, the Islamic aggression in the realm of the
state will remain unchecked. The consequence will be one and simple – flight of
Hindus will increase and the empty lands will give in to Islamists finally.
Emergence of a
Kashmir on the eastern part of India is getting evident gradually more. Hindu
society in Bengal has got to gear up to resist this fast worsening situation.
We have to vow to struggle till the end.
