President's
rule in Bengal?
Hatred and intolerance are the cornerstones of Marxism in India. Whatever
is their ideology, Marxist parties in India thrived on the principle
and practice of deceit, scientific rigging, terror tactics and liquidating
political opponents. Democracy has always been an anathema to the
Marxists. Be it Midnapur in West Bengal or Kannur in Kerala, the growing
influence of the Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party is
being sought to be met with growing intolerance by the ruling clique
in these States. The Communist parties have since the days of Naxalite
movement, recruited different kinds of mafia into the party and made
a mockery of the rule of law. In West Bengal as in Kerala, the Marxists
have violence as a method to expand their Fascist stranglehold over
the State. The Chief Minister of West Bengal has virtually ordered
the police force to kill criminals (read political opponents) without
bothering about the human rights. "Use those guns that the government
has given you. Shoot if you need to, and do not worry about human
rights. I'll take care of that." This was the CM's saying. And believe
him. His political gurus have done it in. That there was no human
rights commission in China is a different matter. But what if such
commission exist in India. The Marxists are above law, especially
if they happen to be in the ruling party. Recently a four-member committee
of the NDA has come up with shocking revelation about state-sponsored
pogroms in areas where TMC is strong. In some districts thousands
were 'arrested' by the police to prevent them from attending Mamata's
meetings. Some of them, terrorised by the state and the Marxist goons,
are still said to be living in refugee camps set-up by the TMC and
the BJP. The Marxist goons have attacked and stoned buses at various
places as a result of which more than 450 vehicles were damaged. And
not a single arrest has so far been made, nor is any likely. It is
clear that the State administration 'cannot be carried on anymore
in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.' The State
is a fit case for the President to act.
Message from
Mahakumbh
A dip in the Ganga
will wash away all your sins, is an age-old saying in India. But,
if the turn-out at the Mahakumbh in Prayag is any indication, the
world community seems to be realising this fact fast. Not only Indians
but their co-religionists from across the globe took the holy dip
at the Ganga with all the religious fervour. The fact that the rich
in the mundane western world are queing up to take the eastward flight
for the spiritual bliss shows the appeal of Hindutva in perspective.
With the rise of dogmatic Semitic religions in the last couple of
millenniums, the world was thrown into a whirlwind of religio-political
strifes defeating the very purpose of any religious ideals. Hinduism
on the contrary, never tried to pontificate religion and remained
working silently to the cause of humanity through myriad fascinating
ideals and values. It was this liberal fervour that has caught the
western eye. The Mahakumbh has provided only an opportunity for them
to show their love and respect for the cherished ideals. The time
has come for India to rise above the pseudo-secularist mentality of
rejecting anything Hindu with contempt. We must tide over and realise
our real strength-the spirituality imbibed by our sages and seers
since time immemorial. Probably, there lies the salvation of humanity
in the new world order.
