Hindu persecution is in full
swing in the realm of Indian state of Bengal. There was no exception to the
same in last month also. We have learnt about a few of them.
These include – Curfew and
conflict between Hindus and police for 3 days (at a stretch) in Ranigunj about
rape of a Hindu girl; Islamic assault on Ramnavami procession in Asansol;
attack of Muslim radicals on Snanyatra of Gajon ascetics in Ketugram and their
success in foiling the religious festival; onslaught of cattle-smugglers, tortures
and molestation of Hindu women by them in village: Khaspur, Baduria; attacks on
Hindus returning from procession of Ramnavami in Chandannagore; attacks of
Muslim youths on a Hindu club in village: Fakirtakia, P.S. Jibantala and
injuring Bivas Mandal severely; Hindu-Muslim fight in village: Bakul, P.S.
Jagatballabhpur, District: Hooghly;
combat between Hindus and Muslims of conducting Milad in a governmental
school at village: Nimichi in Minakha; spontaneous strike in Rampurhat to
protest against desecration and destruction of Holy Deity at the Hindu temple
in village: Brahmani, P.S. Rampurhat, District: Birbhum; oppression of 2 Hindus
by Shahjahan Sheikh (latest political personality to join Trinamool camp from
CPIM) at Sarberia in Sandeshkhali; brutal Hindu-Muslim conflict at Radhamani
Bazaar in Midnapur; conflict over destruction of temple and mazaar in Midnapore
town.
The majority of this news has
failed to find a place in mainstream media or daily newspaper; let alone
television channels.
All these news have come to our
News Desk – but it’s true that myriad such violent developments are taking
place across Bengal without interval.
Nevertheless, all these remain inaccessible
to the populace in the state. And instead they are getting more and more
acquainted with info on political conflicts, Shhaarda Chit Fund scam and certainly
IPL. This is a matter of grave concern as such lack of knowledge is not
suicidal only but leads to disaster also.
There is a ray of hope also as activists
of Hindu Samhati, unlike ignorant Hindus, are highly conscious of this perilous
reality and this can be ascertained from how they are waging defenses against Islamic
onslaughts with confidence. Police and administration have turned into greatest
foes of Hindus; hence, whenever Hindus (whether commoners or activists of other
Hindu organizations) face challenges from Islamists, Hindu Samhati happens to
be their last resort.
Responsibility
of Hindu Samhati’s activists, owing to these, has increased to a large extent. Accordingly,
we shall have to dedicate ourselves more to the cause. And if success is
achieved, we will be regarded in history as the vanguard of Hindu defense
against Islamic aggression. But to make this a reality, we have got to remain
cautious of more struggles and combats in the coming days.
