One man’s silence.
Millions dead.
Crores displaced.
A civilization wounded.
In my first post, I wrote about the deep impact of Kashi on young Gandhi—how the sacred city shaped his inner self and what inspired him to come here.
In the second post, I described Gandhi’s bitter experiences in Kashi—the insults, the abuse, and even the threat of hell that he had to endure.
This final post looks at something even more serious: Gandhi’s silence in Kashi.
*
Silence in front of Aurangzeb’s legacy became silence in front of Jinnah’s demand.
Silence in front of Aurangzeb’s legacy became silence in front of Jinnah’s demand. The truth Gandhi ignored in Kashi was no small matter—it carried fatal consequences. His habit of closing his eyes to uncomfortable truths did not end there; it grew into history’s deadliest blunder, leading to the deaths of lakhs and the displacement of nearly ten crore during Partition.
Vishweshwara, or Vishwanath, means “Lord of the Whole Universe.”

Gandhi in Kashi: Fearless Against Hindus, Silent Against Islamic Imperialism
Gandhi came to Kashi in 1902 and boldly attacked temple corruption and priestly fraud. But when faced with the scars of Aurangzeb’s destruction, he chose silence. His pen moved against Hindus but froze against Islamic tyranny.
THE WELL OF WISDOM- JNANA VAPI OR GYAN WAPI
There are two ways to reach the Vishwanath Temple:
Through Vishwanath Gali, where behind the sanctum lies the sacred Gyan Vapi well.
Through the Gyan Vapi side, where the moment you enter, a massive mosque towers before your eyes.
This is the Gyanvapi Mosque—built by Aurangzeb after demolishing the holiest shrine of Hindus. Even in Prinsep’s drawing, it looms just behind the pavilion of the sacred well. Gandhi stayed here. He saw this.
For any Hindu, this sight is a wound that cuts the soul. But Gandhi’s pen, so fearless against Hindu weaknesses, went silent here.
And that silence was no accident. It was the silence of appeasement. It was the silence that ignored the blood and ruins of Hindu civilization.
By refusing to write even a single line on Aurangzeb’s fanaticism, Gandhi stood naked before history. Bold against Hindus, blind before Islamic tyranny.
The Gyan Vapi Mosque: A Living Scar of Islamic Imperialism
Aurangzeb demolished the Vishwanath Temple and built the Gyan Vapi Mosque from its ruins. The broken temple walls were left standing, the peak replaced with an Islamic dome—a daily reminder of Hindu defeat and Islamic pride.
What Gandhi Saw — and What He Ignored
Gandhi saw the chaos in temples and wrote about it. But he also saw the Gyan Vapi Mosque towering over the Vishwanath Temple. What he ignored was far greater than what he recorded, and his silence spoke louder than his words.
Criticism for Hindus, Silence for Islamic Crimes
For Hindu society, Gandhi had no mercy—he exposed every flaw. But when it came to Aurangzeb’s fanaticism and centuries of Islamic crimes, he offered not a single word. This was not neutrality; it was appeasement.
1902: Vivekananda’s Last Visit, Gandhi’s First
In the same year, Swami Vivekananda, the fiery monk who awakened Hindu self-respect, came to Kashi for the last time before his death. That very year, Gandhi came for the first time. One era of pride ended, and another era of appeasement began.
The Beginning of Appeasement Politics
Gandhi’s silence in Kashi planted the seeds of a new politics—where Hindu self-respect would be crushed and Islamic crimes covered up.
1902 was not just a visit; it was the beginning of a dangerous trend that shaped India’s future.
The Silence That Divided India
Gandhi could roar against the weaknesses of Hindus, but he chose silence in front of Islamic imperialism.
Silence in Kashi was not just a momentary lapse—it became a lifelong habit. That habit turned into history’s greatest tragedy.
The Partition of India was not born in 1947—it was born in moments like these, when truth was seen, but deliberately ignored. Gandhi’s silence in Kashi cost the nation millions of lives and displaced crores.
Sometimes, what a man refuses to see becomes far more dangerous than what he sees. Gandhi’s silence was not just silence—it was complicity. Still bleeds from it.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi first visited Varanasi in 1902, an event he detailed in his autobiography. He had two primary reasons for his visit:
To visit the Vishwanath Temple, one of the most sacred Hindu temples.
To meet Annie Besant, the great scholar and patriot who was ill at the time.
1896 AD image showing a large crowd at the Vishwanath Temple.
Gandhi’s experience at the Vishwanath Temple was one of the most bitter experiences of his life. According to him, the temple and its surroundings were in a state of disarray.
The environment was dirty, the streets leading to the temple were slippery, flies were buzzing everywhere, and there was a huge crowd of travelers causing a noisy atmosphere.
Inside the temple, Gandhi found the environment even more depressing. He desired a peaceful place to meditate and worship but was instead faced with chaos and the short-tempered behavior of the temple priests.
Gandhi’s observations were accurate, as the temple remained in poor condition until recent years when the government expanded it under the Vishwanath Temple Corridor project.
However, Gandhi remained mysteriously silent on the historical reasons behind this neglect. He did not mention that the Gyanvapi Mosque was constructed by Aurangzeb after demolishing the original Vishwanath Temple.
A mosque was built after demolishing a sacred Hindu temple, and the rubble from the temple was used in its construction. Even today, the remains of the original temple can be clearly seen.
Even today, the remains of the old temple can be clearly seen. It is surprising that Gandhi, who visited the site, did not acknowledge the destruction caused by Islamic rulers or express any empathy for the suffering of Hindus.
This omission is one of many instances that raise doubts about Gandhian philosophy. Critics argue that Gandhi’s ideology often sought to cover up crimes committed under Islamic rule while opposing British imperialism. This selective opposition has led many to believe that Gandhi perceived two types of imperialism:
Good Imperialism
Bad Imperialism
Gandhi and his followers seemingly decided which imperialism was acceptable and which was not, expecting the entire Hindu society to follow suit. Any Hindu who opposed this view was considered violent. Many revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives for India’s freedom were against Gandhi’s submission to Islamic fundamentalism.
The Vishwanath Temple was demolished by the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, and a new temple was later built by Rani Ahilyabai Holkar in a much smaller space nearby. This limited space for construction led to the dispair and crowding that Gandhi observed.
Critics argue that Gandhi had a habit of blaming Hindus for Islamic crimes instead of addressing the root cause. The Gandhian era, often seen as the peak of Muslim appeasement, laid the foundation for the next 45 years of India’s history, heavily influenced by Gandhi’s philosophy.
In retrospect, it is worth considering whether Gandhi’s policies inadvertently contributed to the tragic events that followed India’s independence. Could a more assertive stance against religious imperialism have altered the course of history? Was his vision of a united India ultimately compromised by his own ideals?
These questions continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about Gandhi’s legacy and the broader implications of his philosophy for modern India.
“BEHEADING IS THE ONLY PUNISHMENT FOR THOSE WHO INSULT PROPHET MUHAMMAD” Rushdie’s writings feature South Asia’s Islamic fanaticism. What similarities and future threats are there in the present-day mortal attack on Rushdie and the slogans of splitting up in South Asia???
A couple of weeks ago the famous Novelist, Sir Salman Rushdie, was attacked by an Islamic fanatic who tried to kill him.
According to the New York State Police, around 11 a.m. at the Chautauqua Institution, in Chautauqua New York . A Muslim youth ran up to the stage and attacked Salman Rushdie with a knife.
The Muslim youth stabbed Salman Rushdie several times with a knife. Rushdie collapsed right there on the stage. He was immediately sent to the hospital. Doctors there said that Rushdie was completely covered in blood after the attack. According to media reports, Rushdie is seriously injured and is undergoing treatment. Doctors have performed surgery on him. According to the information, his health has already improved quite a lot and is gradually getting better, he has now been removed from the ventilator.
The attacker is 24 years old and has been identified. His name is Hadi Matar.
SALMAN RUSHDI
Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British-American novelist. Known for his provocative writings on medieval thought and ideology of Islam. His novel, written in the early days, describes the stifling social environment of the converted Muslims of South Asia.
Note:- I consider Rushdie’s book “Shame” written upon the Muslims of South Asia to be equivalent to “Among The Believers” by V.S Naipaul. Both books depict the medieval behavior of the converted Muslims of South Asia. While Naipaul speaks very clearly in his writings, Rushdie attacks Islamic beliefs with the help of satire and imagery. How the seeds of Islamic terrorism were being planted in South Asia, which currently exports Islamic terrorism to the entire world, have been very well portrayed by both the authors.
THE REASON FOR THE FATAL ATTACK ON RUSHDIE
THE TALIBAN WHEN THEY SAY SOMETHING, THEY DO IT . THEY THREATEN TO KILL PEOPLE AND THEY DO IT . BUT WHEN WE SAY WE WILL PROTECT YOU , WE OFTEN DO NOT — Jelani popal , afghan government official
The attacker attacked Rushdie with the intention of slitting his throat.
The attacker considers Rushdie to be an ENEMY OF ISLAM According to him, Rushdie is accused of blasphemy and such a person has no right to live according to Islamic law. Salman Rushdie has been a target of Islamic fundamentalists ever since the publication of his book “Satanic Verses”. In 1989, Iran’s religious leader Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Rushdie, calling the book “Satanic Verses” an insult to Islam. On February 14, 1989, the fatwa to kill Rushdie was officially announced on Radio Tehran by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini saying that the book was “blasphemous against Islam”.
WHAT IS FATWA
The decree issued on any issue related to Islam on the basis of Quran and Hadith is a fatwa.
According to media reports, Hadi Matar was not under the influence of the fatwa. So was he making an easy way to enter Paradise by killing a GUSTAKH E NABI. GUSTAKH E NABI KI EK SAJA SIR TAN SE JUDA. ‘Beheading is the only punishment for those who insult Prophet Muhammad.’
But take not friends
From their ranks Until they flee
In the way of God (From what is forbidden). And (in any case) take No friends or helpers
But if they turn renegades, Seize them and slay them Wherever you find them;
From their ranks…..
(Quran, 4.89)
The attack on Salman Rushdie is not just an attack on a human being. It is an attempt to suppress a strong and loud voice against fundamentalism. The concept of modern world is not only from modern electronic devices, ideas like democracy, coexistence, space for opposing views, multiculturalism are the foundation of the modern world. If any person rejects or attacks these ideas of modern times, then his medieval thinking is a threat not only to the present but also to the future.
So, how will the attack on Rushdie, who raised his voice against Islamic fundamentalism in South Asia, affect the countries in South Asia?
“There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is the prophet of Allah.’ Such is the cry which electrifies 250 millions of the inhabitants of this globe. Such is the cry which thrills them so that they are ready to go forward and fight for their religion, and consider it a short road to Paradise to kill Christians and Hindus and unbelievers. Dr Theodore Pennell Missionary Doctor at Bannu , Among the wild tribes of the afghan frontier 1909

THE IMPACT OF THE ATTACK IN SOUTH ASIA
This attack will have far-reaching consequences in the converted Muslim-majority countries of South Asia. Like mushrooms, Islamic seminaries spread across South Asia will leave no stone unturned to justify the attack on Salman Rushdie.
The attack on Salman Rushdie is being promoted as an Islamic victory and this propaganda will continue. With the help of Hadi Matar’s jihadi image, youth will be inspired for jihad.
Describing any Islamic terrorism act in the world as jihad, giving martyr status to jihadis is an old custom of madarasas of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh. Presently these madarasas are engaged in the production of human bombs day and night like a sucide bomb factory.
Any kind of question mark on the beliefs of Islam falls under blasphemy.
Beheading the person who put the question mark is a holy act like worshiping God for Muslims. Medieval Islamic beliefs, such as the beheading of a non-religious person, a blasphemer, are rapidly spreading across South Asia again. Incidents of beheading are happening not only in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, but also in the Hindu-majority country of India, dozens of people have been beheaded by Islamic extremists in just the past few months.
Nowadays, whether it is a virus, or ideology, it cannot be limited in one scope. 9/11 is the best example of this. The revival of the Islamic practice of cutting throat in South Asia is a warning bell for the whole world. The goal of Islamic fundamentalists is very clear. The killing of any non-religious person remains a guarantee of paradise.
At the same time, countries who believe in the democratic values of the world have so far been unsuccessful in even deciding the definition of terrorism. It seems impossible to defeat Islamic terrorism without all the democratic countries of the world coming and together.
Aamir Khan is a well-known Indian actor, but in recent years, he has faced criticism due to certain statements and actions. He has been accused of making anti-Hindu remarks and engaging with individuals linked to ISIS, an extremist organization.
Additionally, during his Hajj pilgrimage, he was seen talking to people from Pakistan who support terrorism, which led to accusations of him supporting Pakistan and Islamic extremists. These events sparked a lot of opposition on social media.
However, Aamir Khan’s interactions during this trip raised doubts and controversies among some people, particularly regarding his views on religion and politics.
Mainstream media in India openly supported Aamir Khan, with many articles and TV discussions in his favor. This led to even more criticism of him on social media.
WHAT WAS THE MATTER
Aamir Khan, the famous Bollywood actor, met with prominent Pakistani figures like Tariq Jameel, singer Junaid Jamshed, and cricketer Shahid Afridi. These individuals are widely recognized in Pakistan and have large followings. They have a few things in common:
*All of them were associated with Tablighi Jamaat, a conservative Islamic group.
*They have been criticized for promoting extreme views and expressing contempt for other religions.
Shahid Afridi shared his hatred towards the Hindu religion with people during a TV show
The Pakistani government is not only the biggest exporter of Islamic terrorists, but Islamic terrorism is an essential part of Pakistan’s foreign policy. Pakistan has been using Islamic terrorism against India for decades.
Tablighi Jamaat organization has close links with all the hardline and dreaded Islamic terrorist organizations in the world and its main task is to spread terrorism in India.
T.J
TABLEEGHI JAMAAT “preaching party”
History of Tablighi Jamaat
Tablighi Jamaat was founded in the 1920s by Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlavi in Mewat, India.
The aim was to spread religious education based on the Hadith, which is the second most sacred Islamic book after the Qur’an.
Today, Tablighi Jamaat has spread to over 150 countries. It is closely linked with Deoband and Madrasas, all working to promote Islam.
In some institutions, students must spend time doing missionary work (tabligh) before they can complete their studies. Part of Tablighi work involves criticizing and refuting other religions.
Tablighi Jamaat, like some other groups, uses prominent Muslim personalities, especially from South Asia, as role models to promote Islamic teachings.
One of their goals is to encourage conversion to Islam.
As part of this, they sometimes criticize or make fun of the beliefs of other religions, particularly Hinduism, which can create tensions between communities. However, it’s important to remember that not all individuals within the group or broader Muslim community share these views.
Aamir Khan has been accused of showing double standards in his films and public statements.
While he has depicted Hindu beliefs critically in some movies, he remains silent on controversial Islamic practices like triple talaq, halala, and burqa.
This has led to suspicion among some Hindus, who question whether he is using India’s democracy and freedom of expression for a hidden agenda.
Indian Muslims must understand that their interests should never be against the nation. Aamir Khan’s silence on the atrocities against Hindus in Kashmir, while showing deep respect for orthodox Islamic traditions, raises concerns among many.
His films have often depicted Hindu beliefs in a critical light, yet he avoids speaking on controversial Islamic practices like triple talaq, halala, and the burqa. This selective approach creates suspicion.
Many people feel that while he enjoys the freedoms of India’s democracy, he does not stand up for issues that affect Hindus. His silence on the historical and ongoing struggles of Hindus, especially in Kashmir, makes people question his true stance. At the same time, his deep reverence for traditional Islamic customs, even those that are now opposed by modern Muslims, adds to this perception of bias.
To remove these doubts, Aamir Khan should openly address these concerns. If he truly believes in equality and justice, he must be vocal about the suffering of Hindus just as he is about Muslim issues.
Speaking up on these matters would not only help in clearing misunderstandings but also foster trust and unity in society.
Nupur Sharma is a politician and former spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During a TV debate, a Muslim panelist mocked Hindu beliefs, and in response, Nupur Sharma mentioned the age of Prophet Muhammad’s wife, Ayesha, at the time of their marriage.
Her statement led to widespread controversy. Although she later apologized, the BJP expelled her to avoid further disputes.
The incident sparked strong reactions across India. Many Hindus supported Nupur, while Muslims protested against her.
These protests soon turned violent, with incidents of stone-pelting reported in various parts of the country. The issue even gained international attention, with some Muslim nations condemning her remarks.
__________
(II)
Is Nupur responsible for Muslimviolence?
Blaming Nupur Sharma alone for the violent protests by Muslims across the country is a distraction from the real issue. In recent times, stone pelting has become a common weapon used by radical groups against non-Islamic communities.
In many places, Muslim mobs even opened fire on security forces. These violent reactions are driven by Islamic fundamentalism.

Nupur Sharma’s TV Debate: A Controversy That Shook the Nation
The controversy over Nupur Sharma’s statement arose although she did not present any false or fabricated information. Her statement was based on Islamic hadiths, which are considered authentic texts in Islam.
The real question is:Why did this statement cause outrage if it was directly quoted from Islamic scriptures?
No Islamic scholar or religious leader has openly refuted Nupur’s statement or proven it to be factually incorrect. Instead, there was widespread outrage, protests, and even violent incidents.
If these facts are already documented in Islamic texts, how can quoting them be considered an insult to Islam?
The controversy seems to stem not from the statement’s accuracy but from the reaction of those who do not want certain aspects of religious history to be discussed openly.
During the debate, Nupur Sharma mentioned Ayesha's age as described in the Hadith, where it is stated that Ayesha was married to Prophet Muhammad at the age of six and went to live with him at the age of nine. This statement was based on Islamic religious texts.

Nupur Sharma’s Statement on Prophet Muhammad’s Marriage: A Clarification of Facts from the Hadith.
Ayesha, also known as Aisha bint Abi Bakr, was the third wife of Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam. She holds significant importance in Islamic history and theology for several reasons:
Marriage to Muhammad: Ayesha married Muhammad at a young age, and her marriage is recorded in Islamic texts, with her age at the time being a topic of discussion due to the Hadiths that mention her age as six at the time of marriage and nine when the marriage was consummated.
Role in Islamic Historiography: Ayesha played a crucial role in preserving and transmitting Muhammad’s sayings (Hadith) and actions (Sunnah).
She is considered one of the most important sources of Hadith, having narrated many incidents from Muhammad’s life, which have shaped Islamic teachings and practices.
In Ayesha’s Own Words: Insights into Her Marriage and Role in Islam
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six years. We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell. Later on, my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girlfriends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became All right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house, I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
(Sahih Bukhari volume 5, book 58, number 234)
The controversy surrounding Nupur Sharma’s statement arose from the sensitive nature of the topic she raised, which is the age of Ayesha, the wife of Prophet Muhammad, at the time of her marriage.
Nupur referenced a well-documented account from the Hadith, which are the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, where it is stated that Ayesha was six years old when she was married and nine when the marriage was consummated.
However, despite this being a documented fact within the Islamic tradition, the topic became controversial due to its sensitive nature in modern discussions, especially concerning the age of consent and marriage norms.
This created a clash between historical religious texts and contemporary social values. Many felt that bringing this issue up in a public debate, particularly in a provocative manner, was disrespectful or inflammatory, leading to strong reactions from certain communities.
While the statement was a direct quote from Islamic texts, the controversy stemmed from the perception that discussing such topics on a public platform was intended to insult or attack Islam, rather than engage in scholarly discussion.
This led to widespread protests and backlash, although the facts themselves, as recorded in Hadith, remained uncontested by Islamic religious leaders.
The issue revolves less around the accuracy of Nupur’s statement and more around the political, social, and cultural context in which such sensitive religious topics are discussed in public forums.
The core issue here stems from a clash between traditional and modern interpretations of Islam, especially in the context of interfaith relations.
The narrative suggests that some proponents of fundamentalist Islam believe in a hierarchical view where Islam is considered superior and that non-Muslim religions should be ridiculed or undermined.
This belief system fuels the idea that Muslims, to be “true” to their faith, must hold contempt for other religions, and that any criticism or questioning of Islam by non-Muslims is not tolerated.
This mentality has created friction in modern times, where the world is more interconnected, and diverse ideas are exchanged. The idea that Islamic customs, culture, and holy books should not be questioned and must be respected by others without criticism is rooted in a rigid interpretation of the faith that may not align with the increasingly globalized world.
When left unchallenged, these rigid beliefs can lead to social and cultural conflict, particularly when these ideas are juxtaposed with the rights of other religions and their freedoms.
The growing difficulty for Muslim leaders, especially those adhering to traditional interpretations, is addressing questions posed by individuals in an era where information is freely available and widely accessible.
The conflict arises when these questions challenge the long-standing narrative upheld by religious authorities, and the modern Muslim community is left in a position where they must either confront these issues or remain silent out of fear of backlash from the more orthodox elements within Islam.
Nupur Sharma’s comments challenge the very nature of questioning religious orthodoxy, especially when it concerns sensitive matters.
Her statements put the spotlight on the difficulties faced by many Muslims in reconciling modernity with traditional teachings. As the global conversation around religion becomes more inclusive and diverse, these issues will likely continue to emerge as significant discussion points.
The real question now is whether modern Muslims will be able to address these challenges without fear of retribution from traditional religious leaders, and whether they will be able to create a space for dialogue and reform that reflects the realities of today’s interconnected world. The future of this discussion lies in the ability to balance faith with the realities of coexistence and mutual respect in a global society.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
These lines are written by the great Indian poet and philosopher, Rabindranath Tagore.
He expresses the pain of a country that has been oppressed and colonized by another. The poem speaks about humanity, love for truth, and knowledge, highlighting India’s rich cultural history of devotion to truth. It also prays to the Supreme Lord to keep a kind watch over the country.
There is nothing in this poem that offends any religion or the sentiments of any religious group. However, some Indian Muslims believe that the words in this poem clash with the Islamic culture they follow, which they feel makes it hurts their religious sentiments.
The Constitution of India clearly defines the country as a secular state. This means that the government will not promote any particular religion and will treat all religious groups with equal respect.
It ensures that all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs, are provided with equal opportunities and protection under the law. The idea of secularism in India aims to create an environment where people of different religions can live together harmoniously, free from discrimination based on their faith.
The Expansionist Nature of Islam: A Legacy of Arabian Imperialism
Many Muslims in India feel that the secular constitution goes against the core beliefs of Islam. They believe that the Aasmani Kitab (Quran) is the highest authority, above all other laws.
Seeking Freedom But from the Indian Constitution?
Indian Muslims want disputes to be resolved under Islamic law, but this is not possible in a progressive democracy. Imagine if every religious group—Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, and Buddhists—started demanding special rights based on their faith.
This would create chaos, weaken India’s constitutional framework, and lead to anarchy.
To keep the country united, the Constitution must remain supreme. However, many Muslims believe the Constitution is man-made and instead follow the Koran. Muslim organizations and religious leaders even advocate for others to accept the supremacy of Islam.
The Illusion of Islamic Rule: A False Hope for Indian Muslims
Many Muslims in India still believe that Muslim countries, especially those in the Gulf, will help them turn India into a Muslim nation.
Their demands rarely include good education, clean drinking water, or better hospitals. Instead, they see non-Islamic rule as the root of all their problems. Because of this belief, they often oppose democracy and the government at every opportunity.
Madrasas and Their Role in Spreading Religious Supremacy
Madrasas:
Maulanas and Maulvis, who guide people on religious matters, are all educated in madrasas. The curriculum in these madrasas has remained unchanged since the time of Aurangzeb, a ruler known for destroying Hindu temples and imposing taxes on Hindus.
Though madrasas claim to provide modern education, this is mostly for show to mislead government agencies. In reality, they focus on spreading religious teachings that often promote a rigid and fanatical ideology. Instead of fostering harmony, madrasas are fueling division and hatred in society.
Sharia Law: Their Ultimate Answer to Every Problem
Some Muslims in India view Aurangzeb’s reign as the “Golden Age” of Islam. They believe that, according to Islamic law, an Islamic state should be established in India because they consider Hindus, the native people, as a defeated civilization and an inferior race. They think Muslims must have rule over them.
TO INDIAN MUSLIMS I WANT TO ASK ONLY ONE QUESTION.
In the recent all-India Muslim conference, why did they not open their mouths on the Kashmir issue? Why did you not condemn the action of Pakistan? These things create doubts in the mind of people. So as a friend of Muslims, I want to say a word and it is the duty of a good friend to speak frankly. It is your duty now to sail in the same boat and sink or swim together. I want to tell you very frankly that you cannot ride on two horses. Select one horse whichever you like best. Those who want to go to Pakistan can go there and live in peace! Let us live here in peace to work for ourselves......
Sardar Patel 6th January 1948
Sardar Patel’s words remain relevant today: the nation is supreme, and respecting its sovereignty is essential. Muslims in India must recognize and accept the country as paramount, upholding its unity and integrity above all else. National unity and respect for the Constitution should always be prioritized, fostering peace and progress for all citizens.
“Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” (Koran 9:5)
HINDU TEMPLES WERE ATTACKEDin many parts of the country on Chaitra Navratri and Ram Navami this year. These attacks were done in a well-planned and systematic manner.What was the reason for such attacks? These riots are just a glimpse of the events of history.
CHAITRA NAVRATRI:-The festival of Navratri is celebrated twice a year. The Hindu New Year also begins with Navratri, in the month of Chaitra (hence, the name CHAITRA Navratri). Chaitra Navratri is celebrated for nine-days.
RAM -NAVMI:- One of the holiest festivals of Hindus. As Christians celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Christ, in the same way, Hindus have an ancient tradition of celebrating Ram Navami as the birthday of Lord Shri Ram.
LET US BISMILLAH (start of a task)
A Muslim youth, Ahmad Murtaza Abbasi, attacked security personnel guarding India’s famous Gorakhnath temple. Two security personnel were seriously injured. The Muslim youth was chanting the slogan of Allah o Akbar. (Allah is the greatest ) This was the beginning of a series of Islamic attacks on Hindu temples. Security force personnel tried to capture Murtaza alive at the place of the shooting and were successful. Preliminary investigations found evidence of Murtaza’s connection to ISIS through the Internet. Investigations of Murtaza’s bank account revealed that money has also been sent to Syria from his account several times. Murtaza was brainwashed by the internet. He was struggling to bring Islamic rule to India and was ready to make any sacrifice for his goal. He is another example of the fast-growing internet jihad in the Islamic world. The return of radical Islamic rule in Afghanistan has no doubt raised the spirits of the hardline Muslims of India, but due to this victory, the Islamic extremists are also making it easier to recruit new people to their gang.
What message do radical Muslims want to give by killing Hindus across the country and looting temples on the holy festival of Ram Navami? What message dothe fundamentalist Muslims tried to give who raised slogans of raping Hindu women after the temples were set on fire? Is this an attempt to repeat history? Is this an attempt to spread Islamic terrorism (Jihad) in South Asia? Is this attack an attempt to show the superiority of Islam over other religions?
a.Hardcore Muslims of India strongly believe in the supremacy of Islam.
b. Hardcore Muslims are always eager to initiate violence.
c-Most of the Muslims of India also believe in the concept of the Caliphate nation like the Muslims of other countries of the world.
d– Internet Jihad is now spreading its wings in India too.
Robert Smith, Aurangzeb’s Mosque at Varanasi, 1814. Watercolor on paper
Aurangzeb Mosque or Alamgir Mosque Varanasi. The meaning of the name Alamgir is Conqueror of the world. This name is generally used for Aurangzeb.Aurangzeb had demolished an ancient Vishnu temple on the banks of the Ganges. This mosque was built at the same place from the ruins of that temple.
A. SUPREMACY OF ISLAM
Islamic superiority according to theology
DOUBLE STANDARDS:- Believers and Non-believers should be treated unequally. Allah says this himself in the Quran.
THE NON-BELIEVERS SHALL BE STERNLY PUNISHED, BUT THOSE THAT ACCEPT THE TRUE FAITH AND DO GOOD WORKS SHALL BE FORGIVEN AND RICHLY RECOMPENSED.
KAFIR:- The word Kafir is commonly used by Muslims in abusive language. “But in Shariah, it is a legal term. According to Shariah, he who is not a Muslim is a Kafir.” Fatawa-i-Rizvia.
“O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.” (Koran 8:65)
The Muslims of India completely believe in the supremacy of Islam. The Muslims of India cannot turn their back on what is written in the Quran. The things written in the Quran, according to them are the orders of Allah and it is the ultimate duty of every Muslim to follow these orders literally. To maintain the superiority of Islam over other religions, Muslims repeatedly attack not only on religious places of other religions but also on modern democracy and the democratic system.
Ordinary Indian Muslims and the pride of being superior
In the year 1194, Islamic invaders destroyed almost all major Hindu temples in Varanasi( the holiest city of Hindus) and mosques were built over Hindu temples. I spent almost three months in Varanasi searching for ruins of temples demolished in 1194, during which I interacted with hundreds of Muslims. Almost all Muslims consider themselves descendants of foreign Islamic invaders. (While most of them have converted to Islam in some specific point in time.)
Every Muslim considers himself of a winning race and Hindus a cowardly community. He has the evidence to prove his point. An old Muslim man showed me a Mughal era building and said that this building is a witness of Islamic superiority. I immediately questioned, “But,Why ?” He replied, “Look at the carvings on the walls of this building, see the strength”, I then counter responded by saying that there were many ruins in the city, which are more beautiful and stronger than this building which were built before the Islamic civilization. I wanted to draw the attention of the old Muslim to some pre-Islamic remains found in Banaras. The old Muslim laughed and said you don’t know, the ruins and pillars you are talking about are not all before the Islamic civilization, but the beginning of the Islamic civilization. All these buildings and there pillars were built by the jinns who came to India with the Sultan’s army.Jinns (supernatural creatures in Islamic mythology and theology.)
Islam gives a very narrow interpretation of history. Muslims deny to accept the history of thousands of years before the religion of Islam came to India. An ordinary Indian Muslim wants to accept history only as a document of the victory of Islam.
B. EAGER TO VIOLENCE:-
The concept of the first attack is taken from the Qur’an.
In a conflict with another religion at any level, Islamists follow Qur’anic concept of war They want to take full advantage of the first attack. Their first goal is to create fear in the heart of the enemy and the greater the fear, the greater the chance of winning the battle.
STRIKING TERROR-INTO THE HEARTS OF THE ENEMY FROM THE PREPARATORY STAGE OF WAR
“The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can master so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.” (Koran 8:59)
LET US RAPE
On the festival of Ramnavami, the Islamic mobs setting the temples on fire repeatedly shouted that now the rape of Hindu women should be started. Believers in Islam have successfully used rape of Hindu women as a weapon many times in the modern history of India.
1947 – At the time of the partition of India-Pakistan. 1971 – At the time of the creation of Bangladesh During the separatist movement in Kashmir Even today in Muslim majority cities in West Bengal.
THEOLOGICAL JUSTIFICATIONS FOR RAPE
“It is permissible to have sexual intercourse with the female captive. Allah the almighty said: ‘[Successful are the believers] who guard their chastity, except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then they are free from blame[Koran 23:5-6].”
“If she is a virgin, he [her master] can have intercourse with her immediately after taking possession of her. However, if she isn’t, her uterus must be purified [first]….
C.Caliphate
At the time of India’s independence, many prominent Muslim leaders were of the opinion that the independence of India meant the rule of Hindus. As a result, many Muslim leaders of India appealed to the Afghan government of that time to invade India and establish an Islamic state here.Many Muslim leaders of India were in favor of a colony of an Islamic nation rather than an independent and sovereign nation. As a child, I have seen posters of Saddam Hussein being put up by Muslim shopkeepers during the Gulf War. In France, if a magazine publishes a funny cartoon of Muhammad, there is a protest on the streets of India, and government property is set on fire. Islam is a unique ideology that does not fit into the modern concept of nationalism. Similarly, the modern concept of Liberty, Freedom also does not match with Islamic ideology. According to the concept of Islam, freedom means religious rule.
D. ELECTRONIC JIHAD
“This is a war of ideologies as much as it is a physical war. And just as the physical war must be fought on the battlefield, so too must the ideological war be fought in the media .” (Nasser Balochi , member of ISIS’s social media team)
Smartphones are being used by fanatics as an information grenade. There are thousands of Islamic groups active on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc. who are engaged in brainwashing Islamic youths day and night. Due to social media people may soon be sorted on the basis of opinion and religion. From one room, one can spread their hate message to the entire world in a few seconds with a tool that fits in the palm of his hands. This is quite different from the 1980s when Islamic organizations had to publish magazines to run their propaganda or distribute video cassettes to madrassas and mosques. Zakir Naik, a famous Islamic thinker of India, continued to invite people to Jihad as an Islamic preacher for a long time. On behalf of India’s oldest political party Congress, he was called the messiah of Hindu-Muslim unity, when his reality was exposed, he fled from India, even today the number of followers of Zakir Naik is in lakhs.
INDIA MUST CRACKDOWN ON RADICAL ISLAM
India has no option but to win. Islamic fundamentalism cannot be defeated in a day, it requires long-term plans.
Intruders should be completely stopped
Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims who have illegally infiltrated India, have a large number of people involved in the incidents of robbery, rape, and kidnapping in India. Such people have a long criminal history, they are always trying to carry out criminal incidents by colluding with local criminals. In any Hindu-Muslim conflict or Islamic procession, they get involved for a small amount of money. Cab bills, NRC bills are the need of the moment. There should also be a provision for strict action against the local people who give shelter to the infiltrators, and such people should be given long sentences under the new law.
All the taxpayers of India should raise their voices against this infiltration. These infiltrators are eating taxpayers’ money like termites and making the country hollow. The money that hardworking people give to the government in the form of taxes cannot be wasted on such people.
Mullah, Masjid, Madrasa Alliance
A common Muslim thinks only what the clerics of Madrasa and Masjid put in his mind. The policy of Muslim appeasement adopted by the Congress government for vote bank now needs to be stopped. Immediate action is needed by identifying the madrassas spreading hatred. Once WikiLeaks also disclosed the huge amount of funds received from Saudi Arabia in mosques of India.according to WikiLeaks, some mosques, madrasas, and educational institutions of India had received seventeen hundred crore rupees from Saudi Arabia for the propagation of radical Islamic ideology.The state and central governments also need to keep a close watch on money transactions from madrasas and mosques.
There is no difference between radical Islamic ideology and Islamic terrorism.Radical Islamic ideology is not limited to the followers of Islam, or to a particular geographical area. India is a multi-religious, multi-language, and diverse country, any kind of fundamentalist ideology can create instability in the society here.
An impartial interpretation of history is essential.
The history of India after independence has been written by the Marxist gang. This is completely fake. Marxists devoted the history of India to one ideology. Red terrorists left no stone unturned in glorifying Islamic imperialism. Islam is a peace-loving religion. Religious fanaticism has no place in Islam???????? What is the basis for writing and stating these things? This may be a political statement, maybe it is also correct from the point of view of vote bank politics and Muslim appeasement, but is this propaganda capable of explaining Indian history ??? If a person has studied the history of India only in the courses of schools and universities, that is he has only read the Marxist interpretation of the history of India, then he knows absolutely NOTHING and if SOMETHING then that is also FALSE. The time has come to bury the fictional historiography of Marxists just like their out-of-date ideas. History should be explained on the basis of truth and not on the basis of Marxism.

Bharat Mata Temple: A Patriotic Landmark Near Varanasi’s Cant Railway Station
The Bharat Mata Temple in Varanasi is about one kilometer from the Cant Railway Station, near Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University.
A beautiful campus surrounds the temple, and its walls are adorned with paintings that depict important events from India’s freedom struggle.
A Unique Temple in Varanasi – Dedicated to the Nation
Amid Varanasi’s sacred temples, one stands apart—a shrine to Bharat Mata, our motherland.
Bharat Mata Mandir—a temple that celebrates the spirit of India and honors her as Mother India.
It reminds us of the ancient Indian belief:
“Janani Janmabhoomishcha Swargadapi Gariyasi” (Mother and motherland are greater than heaven.)
This temple echoes the powerful voices and dreams of those who loved India deeply:
The soulful sound of “Vande Mataram,” written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay
The vision and thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi
The revolutionary spirit of Arvind Ghosh and Sachindra Nath Sanyal
And most importantly, the faith, inspiration, and strength of the children of Bharat Mata
The Bharat Mata Mandir is more than a building—it is a symbol of unity, patriotism, and our eternal connection with the motherland.
Here, India is not just seen as a country, but as a sacred mother who nurtures, protects, and guides her people forward.
A Freedom Fighter’s Dream: The Design and Legacy of Bharat Mata Temple
The Bharat Mata Temple in Varanasi stands as a unique symbol of patriotism and national unity. It was the vision of freedom fighter Babu Shiv Prasad Gupta, who designed the temple not as a place of religious worship, but as a tribute to the spirit of India itself.
The temple was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1936, making it one of the rare temples in the country.
At the heart of the temple lies its most iconic feature: a relief map of undivided India (Akhand Bharat), carved out of marble.
This detailed map, housed in the central atrium, serves as a votive object and a powerful reminder of India’s geographical and cultural unity before Partition.
No Idol? Myth Busted! How Bharat Mata’s Geographic Form Embodies Divine Worship
Some people mistakenly believe that the Bharat Mata Temple has no idol or representation of any Hindu deity, which is both unfounded and misleading.
In truth, the temple houses a powerful and symbolic representation of Mother India in her geographical form—a detailed relief map of undivided India carved in marble.
Just as Lord Shiva is worshipped in the form of a Shivalinga in many ancient Hindu temples, Bharat Mata is revered here in the form of her sacred land.
This unique depiction reflects the deep spiritual connection Indians have with their country, viewing it not just as a piece of land, but as a divine mother figure.
The Vision Behind Bharat Mata Mandir – In the Words of the Founder
Om Vande Mataram
The inspiration for creating a relief map of Bharat Mata came to me quite unexpectedly.
In the winter of Samvat 1970 (1913 AD), while returning from the Karachi Congress, I had the chance to visit Mumbai, and from there, I traveled to Pune. During my visit, I went to see the widows’ home run by Shriman Ghondo Keshav Karne.
There, I came across a relief map of India drawn on the ground using clay. The mountains and rivers were sculpted in raised and lowered sections, and the map appeared so lifelike and beautiful that the thought came to me: “A similar map should be created in Kashi.”
At first, this was just a fleeting idea. But soon after, I had the opportunity to travel to London, where I visited the British Museum and saw many such topographical maps of various countries.
The memory of the clay map I had seen in Pune became stronger, and the desire to create a durable, artistic map of India continued to grow within me.
After discussions with respected elders and friends, it was decided that the map should be carved from marble.
This would not only ensure longevity and beauty but would also make it a worthy representation of Bharat Mata, our revered motherland.
The search for the right artist and sculptor began. After much effort, Shri Durga Prasad ji of Kashi accepted the responsibility and, with great dedication and talent, brought the vision to life.
The work began in Vikram Samvat 1975 (1918 AD) and, after 5–6 years of painstaking effort, the map was finally completed.
Yet, due to several unexpected delays and challenges, it took time for the map to be unveiled to the public.
Eventually, the foundation stone of the Bharat Mata Temple—the home of this marble relief map—was laid by Shri Bhagwandas ji on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, Sunday, Samvat 1984.
After the completion of 24 Lakshya Gayatri Purashcharana, the first darshan ceremony was held on Mahanavami (Ashwin Shukla, Samvat 1983), during which Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi recited the four Vedas and offered Purnahuti with his own hands.
The temple was finally opened to the general public on the auspicious day of Vijaya Dashami, Samvat 1983.
Architecture and Design: Where History Meets Craftsmanship
The Bharat Mata Temple is built in a square-shaped layout amidst a peaceful garden, offering a tranquil and inspiring atmosphere.
The structure uses Chunar sandstone, a material renowned for its strength and historical significance, often found in North India’s ancient monuments.
Following Varanasi’s traditional architectural style, the temple is built on a high stone platform, a design element that echoes the construction of ancient Hindu temples and Buddhist stupas in the region.
Visitors ascend via stone staircases to reach the platform, where they are welcomed by the temple’s impressive facade.
Bharat Mata Mandir (Mother India Temple) Where Spirituality Meets Patriotism
The main front features three doors and two windows, while the other sides include five large windows each, allowing natural light and air to fill the space.
While the structure has three doors at the entrance, typically only the central one is open to the public.
Above the entrance, a finely carved stone frame with intricate Hindu motifs reflects the exceptional artistry of ancient Indian craftsmen.
Where is the Bharat Mata Mandir Located?
The Bharat Mata Temple in Varanasi is located about a kilometer from the Cantt Railway Station, near Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University.

The building was designed by freedom fighter Babu Shiv Prasad Gupta and was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1936. The central atrium houses a map of undivided India (Akhand Bharat) carved in marble as a votive object.
Some people believe that there isno idol of any Hindu deityinstalled in this temple, which is completely baseless and ridiculous.
In this temple, Mother India is depicted in geographical form.
Just as Lord Shiva is represented in the form of a Shivalinga in many ancient Hindu temples, Mother India is depicted in a geographical form in the Bharat Mata Mandir.
The main building of Bharat Mata Mandir
Bharat Mata Mandir is a square-shaped building located within a garden. The temple’s outer walls are predominantly constructed using Chunar sandstone, which adds to its aesthetic and historical significance.
The temple is situated on a High stone platform, a design tradition that has been prevalent in Varanasi for thousands of years.
This architectural practice of building structures on solid stone platforms is deeply rooted in the region’s history. Notably, many ancient Hindu and Buddhist stupas in Varanasi are also built on similar stone platforms, showcasing the continuity of this architectural style over millennia.
The main building of Bharat Mata Mandir features three doors and two windows on its front façade, while the other three sides are adorned with five life-size windows.
The temple is accessed via stone staircases on two sides, which lead up to the high stone platform.
Upon ascending these stairs, visitors find themselves standing before the temple’s entrance.
The entrance consists of three doors, though two of these are typically kept closed. Above the doors, a stone door frame showcases intricate carvings that reflect the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Hindu art. These artistic details add to the temple’s spiritual and historical ambiance.
“We do not consider anyone else as mother, Mother and motherland are superior even to heaven.”
BANKIMCHANDRA-ANANDAMATH
Bharat Mata (Mother India) symbolizes India as a motherland, embodying the country’s civilization, culture, history, and people.
The concept of Bharat Mata is rooted in the idea that the land of India nurtures and protects its citizens like a mother, providing for them and guiding them through life’s challenges.
This concept reflects the deep emotional and spiritual connection that Indians have with their country, where the nation itself is revered as a mother figure.
Bharat Mata Ki Jai translates to “Victory to Mother India” and is a slogan expressing patriotism and pride in the nation. It is a way of showing reverence and respect for the motherland, and it became especially significant during India’s freedom struggle when it was used as a call for unity and independence.
In the City of Temples, Bharat Mata Temple Stands as a Monument to National Pride
The Bharat Mata Temple in Varanasi is located about a kilometer from the Cantt Railway Station, near Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University.
The temple is surrounded by a beautiful campus, with its walls adorned with paintings depicting significant events from India’s freedom struggle.
Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world and also the holiest city of Hindus.
It is also called the City of Temples. Temples have been built here at every stage of India’s history. According to Islamic philosophy in the days of Islamic imperialism, many ancient temples were demolished due to the prohibition of idol worship, but new temples were being built by Hindus as soon as they got the chance, due to this the importance of this city always remained in Hindu culture.
Even today there are countless temples here. Many temples are very unique and bizarre -one such temple is ——
Bharat Mata Temple. (Mother India) In this temple, the country of India is depicted as Bharat Mata.

Preserving Heritage: The National Song and Ancient Symbols at Bharat Mata Temple
“Vande Mataram” (Rashtra-Geet) is inscribed on both sides of the main door of the Bharat Mata Temple.
The Sacred Symbols of Bharat Mata Mandir: A Reflection of India’s Timeless Heritage
The Bharat Mata Mandir stands as a beacon of spirituality and tradition, with its main entrance adorned by the sacred Gayatri Mantra, a timeless hymn invoking wisdom and enlightenment.
This inscription enhances the temple’s spiritual significance, offering a serene welcome to all visitors.
Prominently featured at the temple is the Swastik symbol, an ancient emblem of auspiciousness in Hinduism. This revered icon, rooted in thousands of years of tradition, predates modern ideologies and carries profound cultural and spiritual meanings.
The Swastik has been unearthed in archaeological treasures like Harappa and Mohenjodaro, underscoring its deep connection to India’s ancient civilization.
In an era of diverse interpretations, it is essential to understand these symbols for what they truly are: representations of India’s enduring heritage, spirituality, and values.
Far from political connotations, they embody the soul of a civilization that has celebrated harmony, knowledge, and auspiciousness for millennia.
Sacred Geometric Symbols at Bharat Mata Mandir
Six-Pointed Star (Shatkona)
The six-pointed star, or Shatkona, is a sacred Hindu symbol featuring two interlocking triangles. The upward triangle symbolizes Shiva (Purusha, male energy, and fire), while the downward triangle represents Shakti (Prakriti, female power, and water). Their union signifies the creation of life, embodied by Sanatkumara, whose sacred number is six.
Eight-Pointed Star (Ashthalakshmi)
The eight-pointed star, also known as Ashthalakshmi or the Star of Lakshmi, is associated with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. Representing wealth, prosperity, and divine abundance, this symbol holds deep spiritual and cultural significance in Hinduism.
Other Symbols Engraved at the Entrance
The temple’s entrance is adorned with other major Hindu symbols, each carrying profound meanings. These carvings beautifully represent India’s spiritual heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the deep philosophical roots of Hindu culture.
A Learning Experience Beyond Textbooks at Bharat Mata Mandir
As anyone steps through the main gate of Bharat Mata Mandir, a stunning geographical map of Akhand Bharat (undivided India) greets you, meticulously crafted on the floor.
This map, representing pre-partition India, symbolizes the unity and vastness of the nation. It is this unique depiction that gives the temple its name, Bharat Mata Mandir (Mother India).
For schoolchildren, this temple offers a refreshing educational experience beyond the monotony of textbooks and classroom settings.
The captivating map and the temple’s rich historical significance provide an engaging way to learn about India’s geography, culture, and heritage, making it both a place of devotion and a source of knowledge.
A Symbol of Patriotism and Philosophy: Bharat Mata Mandir in Varanasi
Step into a temple like no other—a shrine that radiates the spirit of India’s cultural and philosophical essence.
Bharat Mata Mandir in Varanasi is not just a place of worship; it is a testament to the imagination of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, whose Vande Mataramstirred the nation. It embodies the sacrifices of countless martyrs and reflects the vision of Mahatma Gandhi, who often invoked Bharat Mata in his letters.
Here, you can feel the reverberations of Swami Vivekananda’s powerful lectures on India’s motherhood and the profound philosophy of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh, who celebrated India as a spiritual beacon for the world.
The temple also echoes the ancient wisdom of Lord Shri Ram’s declaration, Janani Janmabhoomischa Swargadapi Gariyasi—”Mother and Motherland are superior to heaven.”
What makes this temple truly exceptional is its sanctum, which does not enshrine an idol of any deity but instead features a magnificent, intricately carved geographical map of undivided India—Akhand Bharat.
This unique representation reminds every visitor of the unity, diversity, and enduring spirit of the nation.
West Bengal’s Muslim population has increased to 27% (up to 63% in some districts), as per the 2011 census and Bangladesh’s Hindu population has decreased to 8%. While the situation for Hindus in Bangladesh is certainly dire, life has become increasingly difficult for Hindus in West Bengal, home to a Muslim-appeasing government and a breeding ground and safe haven for terrorists. – Janet Levy
“The root cause of Indian weakness “not in foreign yoke or poverty or dearth of spiritual experience, but in the decline of thinking power.” (Sri Aurobindo)
THOSE WHO DON’T REMEMBER THE PAST CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT. (SANTAYANA)
We learned nothing from history Due to this the situation is getting worse from day today.
The massacre of thousands of Hindus in 1947, the slaughtering of thousands of Hindus in East Bengal (Bangladesh)again in 1971, by raping about four lakh Hindu women and making them Islamic slaves, these very painful incidents of history also failed to teach us anything.Please visit for more information on this subject:—–
A Knowledge of History, even of the darkest past, can be quite useful, even for the future. (Anatoly Markusha, Miracles on wheels)
Ways of dealing with national problems of previous governments
T.V.Rajeshwar, the head of the Intelligence Bureau and governor of many states, wrote a series of articles on this subject in the Hindustan Times newspaper in 1996.
Their effort was to get the common people aware of this problem. Even while holding a constitutional post, he was troubled by the lax attitude of the central government.
While governor of West Bengal, he saw the Islamization of Bengal very closely.
In Cooch Bihar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, West Dinapur,Bengal the signs of alarming change of population were visible. The Islamization of Bengal was a clear indication of another partition of the country in the future.
In 1989, Rajeshwar sent a detailed report to the President on the alarming increase of the Muslim population. A copy of this report was sent to the Prime Minister, and also to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Every month, reports are sent by the Governor to the President, Prime Minister, Ministry of Home Affairs.But they didn’t even respond to any report.A report was also sent to the Chief Minister of Bengal Jyoti Basu in 1989.
There is no answer. In 1990, the government of Janta Dal came to the center. I.K Gujral became Prime Minister.
Governor Rajeshwar tried once again —- no response.
Rajeshwar left Bengal on February 8, 1990, till then there was no answer from anywhere. The country most affected by Islamic terrorism was fighting Islamic terrorism in this way.
WHEN POWER IS INHERITED
“QU’ILS MANGENT DE LA BRIOC” (LET THEM EAT CAKE)
Some big leaders of the Congress of Assam met Rahul Gandhi to talk about serious issues about Assam. Surprisingly, Rahul Gandhi was busy playing with his pet dog at the place of this discussion. Gandhi was busy feeding the dog when the Assam government wanted to discuss urgent issues of the state.(Himanta Biswa Sarma)
If a political party deals with the national problem in this way, the eldest leader of a political party gives more importance to his pet dog than the national problem, then will that country be able to deal with the national problems.
This was the ground reality of our preparation.The country may not be aware of the actions of these fake leaders and officers, the enemy was aware. —To know how the bureaucracy of the Nehru model worked please visit :-
The point is that all these operations were conceived and launched based on one assumption:”that the Indians are too cowardly and ill-organized to offer any effective military response which could pose a threat to Pakistan. Ayub khan genuinely believed that “as a rule, Hindu morale would not stand more than a couple of hard blows at the right time and place”
After Independence, India’s most talented journalist, Political writer Arun Shouriementioned this national problem many times in his books, articles, but the government maintained a slow pace of functioning.
Did the Islamization of Bengal begin ten years ago, twenty years ago, or thirty years ago.
Two countries came into existence with independence – India a democracy and Pakistan an Islamic country. Even before the partition of the country, the Islamic fundamentalists had dreamed of making Bengal aMogulistan. ( Struggle to make the entire region an Islamic country, considering the rule of the Mughal Aurangzeb as the best example).
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their own history. (George Orwell )
Nazimuddin tells me that they calculated that the combined area would give them a majority of 58% of Muslims in place of 51% if only all Bengal and all Assam were to be included. He tells me that the Muslims bred faster than the Hindus and that 58% would reach 60% and more within a relatively few years. He went on to say that they believed that once this Northeastern Pakistan was established, there would be no one more keen about it than the Hindus within its borders and that he believed it possible that the Burdwan Division might come into Northeastern Pakistan in due course. (Muslim League Premier of Bengal Nazimuddin had told the governor of province R.G Casey) .

Globalization of Islamic terrorism and information technology
Changes in world politics took place very rapidly after 9/11. Western countries understood that Islamic terrorism is not a regional problem. The Islamic extremists of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh can also slaughter the citizens of the western country with their medieval ideology. The countries and governments of the west were also forced to change their old foreign policy.
In such circumstances, a new weapon had come in the hands of the nationalists too —– Mobile.
Mobile in the palm, aligned with the Internet and social site, wrote the new saga of democratization of information. Now the government, the corrupt bureaucrats, the nefarious coalition of dedicated mainstream media could not trick the country on national problems.
Rajeshwar’s worry, Shourie Ji’s struggle no longer needed any mainstream media to reach the public. The Islamization of West Bengal and the possibility of another Islamic country coming into existence were also expressed by an American journalist.
THE MUSLIM TAKEOVER OF WEST BENGAL
West Bengal’s Muslim population has increased to 27% (up to 63% in some districts), as per the 2011 census and Bangladesh’s Hindu population has decreased to 8%. While the situation for Hindus in Bangladesh is certainly dire, life has become increasingly difficult for Hindus in West Bengal, home to a Muslim-appeasing government and a breeding ground and safe haven for terrorists. – Janet Levy
Bangladesh: – In 1971, as soon as Bangladesh came into existence, Islamic radicals hijacked this country.1979 ——–
The word secular was removed from the Bangladesh Constitution. Islam was declared the state religion of Bangladesh by the 1979 President Irshad.
Since then, the minority Hindu population of Bangladesh began to decline. Imported hardcore Wahhabi culture in the name of Islam started growing.
Our Culture of Demagogy Has Engendered Bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and Their Ilk,”
The mentality of each one of us was programmed upon entering school as a child [to believe] that… anyone who is not a Muslim is your enemy, and that the West means licentiousness, lack of values, and even enfeeblement, n Jahiliya ſa term used to describe the backward, pre-Islamic era] itself.
Anyone who escapes this programming in school encounters it at the mosque, or through the media, or from the preachers lurking in every corner…. We all focus on bin Laden and his ilk… but we have yet to focus on the more dangerous people, and I mean those who will our heads with this rhetoric in the schools, the mosques, and the media, who disseminate words without hesitation, without considering the consequences or even understanding that in this era, the entire world hears what is said.
December 2001, Sahr Muhammad Hatem, a doctor in Riyadh, bravely wrote a letter to a London-based Arabic news paper; in the letter.
HATRED’S KINGDOM HOW SAUDI ARABIA SUPPORTS THE NEW GLOBAL TERRORISM.
Madarasas are the nursery of Islamic terrorism – about seventy thousand madrasas of Bangladesh are engaged in expanding the Wahhabi ideology of Saudi Arabia.
Educated youth from here only adapt to the jihad industry. Saudi Arabia’s money and Pakistan’s weapons-training center further reinforces the concept of anti-India ideology, their dream of Mughalistan.
The kidnapping of Hindu girls, looting temples of Hindus, burning of temples is an everyday occurrence.
Not only this, the serial murder of secular Muslim journalists, bloggers who raised the issue of atrocities on Hindus is common.
Right now when I am writing this post, a few minutes ago Taslima’s tweet was seen, this tweet was about the attack on a village of Hindus of a fierce Islamic mob in Bangladesh.
(Taslima Nasreen, the exiled writer of Bangladesh who wrote books on Hindu genocide, and first exposed the painful situation of Hindu women in Bangladesh. Taslima Nasreen faced the ire of Muslim fundamentalists for this.
Ultimately Taslima had to flee to Bangladesh to save her life due to growing anger towards her in the country. Taslima has been in India for many years now.)
Bangladesh has taken a long journey, moving from a secular country to a radical Islamic country, then to Wahhabi, and now to the slaughterhouse of Hindus and Christians.
West Bengal:-Everything here is by Islamic custom.
When I first went to Kolkata a few years ago, I saw posters offering Namaz to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at almost all the major places in the city. I could not understand what it meant.
Thanks to NDTV for this image.
What did Mamata Banerjee want to tell by offering namaz?
Mamata, once a staunch opponent of Bangladeshi infiltrators, is now a staunch supporter of the interests of Bangladeshi infiltrators.
Mamta’s state government has been indulging in many scams and corruption since coming to power.
Many Ponzi schemes, the strings of the Saradha scam, have been directly linked to the Mamata government. The Saradha Group scam with the help of fake companies is worth $ 6 billion.
The money of the general public was drowned in this. In the Sharda Group finance scheme, the money of the weakest, poorer section of the society was drowned. Seeing her political credentials falling, Mamata Banerjee chose an easy path.
Muslim politics follows Muslim theology. Mamta Banerjee, after adopting the Islamic rituals, wanted to give a clear message to the Muslim voters that the corrupt government, the government of scams but also a Muslim government. many Muslims believed that if a government involved in a corrupt, scandal follows the Islamic method, then it is better than an honest democratic government.
This alliance was done keeping in mind their respective interests. While Mamata Banerjee got the bulk of the Muslim vote, the Islamic extremists were assured of being ignored by the government over their activities in West Bengal. The Trinmooll political party made full use of Islamic extremists to intimidate people and threaten the assassination of political opponents.
In Usti, a mob of Islamic extremists looted the house and shop of more than fifty Hindus and set it on fire.
The ruling Trinamool government did not say anything on this subject. The mainstream media was cleverly engaged in the defense of Islamic extremists.
Muslim voters vote only at the behest of their mosque and imam. As a result, Muslim religious Imams and mosques were given special facilities.
Bangladesh intrusion is at its peak in South Twenty Four Parganas, North Twenty Four Parganas, Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda.
Diagnosing this problem is not difficult. There is a nationalist government at the center. The central government has adopted a policy of zero tolerance for Islamic terrorism. Over the years, we have also seen a changed foreign policy on Pakistan-China relations.
NRC(National Register of Citizens)
Strict NRC is necessary and it needs to be implemented across the country. To prove a citizen of India under NRC, a person must prove that his ancestors had come to India before 24 March 1971.
Let it be said that it has been implemented first in Assam to expel illegal Bangladeshis. The bill to introduce it in the whole country can be brought in the next few years.
There will be separate requirements and drafts for this to be implemented across India. The central government should provide complete information about the NRC to the entire country.
Instead of focusing on the antics of mainstream media, social media should be used to give the right information to the common people. In dealing with any national problem, it is necessary for the people of the entire nation to unite and work as one power, one unit.
“Quranic philosophy on the application of military force, within the context of the totality that is jihad. The professional soldier in a Muslim army, pursuing the goals of a Muslim state, CANNOT become professional if in all his activities he does not take the color of Allah.”

ONE OF[ THE MOST] TERRIBLE HUMANITARIAN CRISES OF THE HUMAN HISTORY.
The 1947 Exodus: Tragedy, Sacrifice, and Heroism”
In 1947, one of the largest exodus in human history took place, marked by the massacre of Hindus and Sikhs, forced conversions, and the rape of countless women. Amidst this horror, there are also stories of women’s incredible bravery, sacrifice, and courage.
The Statesman newspaper on April 15, 1947, reported an event from the village of Thoha Khalsa in Rawalpindi District.
The Muslim League’s attack on Hindus and Sikhs in Punjab in 1947 was ruthless. The Hindu and Sikh residents of the small village were attacked by a 3000-strong Muslim mob. The villagers, outnumbered and outarmed, were forced to surrender.
But in an act of bravery, 90 women in the village chose to jump into a well to avoid dishonor and save their dignity, following the example of women from ancient India. Tragically, only three women survived, as there was not enough water in the well to drown them all.

The 1971 Tragedy: Repeating the Mistakes of 1947″
We seem to have learned nothing from history, as the horrors of 1947 were repeated in 1971, only this time, the scale of violence—Hindu exodus, massacres, and rapes—was even worse.
In the book The Blood Telegram: India’s Secret War in East Pakistanby Gary J. Bass, based on declassified documents and white house tapes, the true extent of the violence in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) is revealed.
The book uncovers that there were written orders to kill Hindus during the conflict. Senior Pakistani officers admitted to the targeting of Hindus in a postwar inquiry.
One of the chilling testimonies from the Hamoodur Rehman Commission reports that senior Pakistani officers, including the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) and Chief of General Staff (CGS), were seen joking about how many Hindus had been killed.
The order to eliminate Hindus was given in May, with one brigadier confirming it in writing. Though Lieutenant General A.A.K. Niazi denied issuing the orders, many soldiers and officers confessed to a deep hatred against Bengalis, which led to verbal instructions to target Hindus.
This genocide was downplayed in India due to vote-bank politics. Political parties referred to it as an atrocity against Bengalis, as the term “Bengali” doesn’t distinguish between Hindus and Muslims. Indian media played a part in supporting this propaganda, masking the true extent of the atrocities.

Learning Nothing from History: Pakistan’s Proxy War Against India”
While we failed to learn from history, Pakistan took a lesson from it. Realizing that it couldn’t defeat India in direct war, Pakistan began a proxy war against India.
Pakistan supported the Khalistan movement and continued its efforts in Kashmir, where once again, crowds chanting “Allah O Akbar” carried out massacres, raped women, and forced four lakh Hindus to flee as refugees to their own country.
Terrorism became a daily occurrence, with bomb blasts and countless innocent lives lost. This violence has continued for over forty years. The list of incidents and places involved would take days to mention, as the pain and suffering persist today.
2014
The Modi government, since coming into power in 2014, has taken a firm stance against Islamic terrorism and groups with pro-Pakistan leanings, reflecting a heightened national security agenda. However, it’s equally important to remember the historical context and the legacy of past events.
India has faced numerous incidents involving terrorism, some of which go back decades, that have deeply influenced the national security landscape. The 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and the earlier insurgency in Kashmir in the late 80s and early 90s are just a few of the key events that shaped India’s approach to terrorism and counterinsurgency. These incidents and their aftermaths have led to shifts in policy, including military responses, intelligence-sharing, and international diplomacy.
While the Modi government’s policies have been scrutinized for both their successes and failures, it’s essential to understand the complex, ongoing nature of counterterrorism, which requires balancing security measures with respect for civil rights. The focus on certain groups and individuals can sometimes overshadow the broader historical context of past incidents and the long-term struggles that preceded them.
By revisiting these past events, we gain a fuller understanding of the evolution of India’s national security concerns and the ongoing challenges in combating terrorism.
