Hindu a victim?

No Hindus feel safe and the victim narrative very real. The targeting of Amarnath Yatris in Anantnag is almost a regular phenomenon. Hindus are victims in their own nation. All their festivals are celebrated under the shadow of fear. Hindus suffer silently and without any protest while attacks on Muslims are highlighted by the media, secularists, communists, Islamist and NGOs. Not only in India but from London to Australia Indian Muslims can be seen a partner is the global terror network.
Now, not only, India is a big supplier of Islamic terrorists but a big supplier of Jihadi ideology. This has put the whole Muslim society in India on notice. India is a country which supplies thousands of terrorists to ISIS, al-Qaida, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and other dreaded terror organizations. Still, hundreds of Indian terrorists have been working for these terror outfits in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan etc countries. The Muslim victimhood narrative which is nothing but hate and intolerance war cry against majority community needs to be busted.

Routinely, innocent Hindu pilgrims were killed in Anantnag and other places but very few of their killers, radicalised Islamist are convicted in the courts. This is more than enough reason to prove that Hindus are victims of Islamic terrorism and at the mercy of Islamic zealots and liberal “Hindu haters”
This is not an imagined assault, but not only real fear but also honest fear psychosis when in fact the Hindu experiences a lot of fear from minorities and is completely unsafe and is not free to practice his religion in whichever manner he wants. Deliberately problems are created for Hindu Yatras and festivals but all are silent on the regular azaans on roads on every Friday, causing massive traffic jams and slaughtering of animals on Eid al-Fitr. Hindu Gods and traditions are also subject of insult in books and movies in the name of secularism and freedom of expression.
A new term ‘Islamophobia’ has been created to protect the Muslim terrorists and radicals to keep the pot boiling and politicise both religion and society. The fixation on the Islamic threat has meant that now Hindus need blasphemy laws like Islam, to protect their religion. Islamophobia is also growing because of dangerously growing “appeasement” of Muslims and a discriminatory application of laws. Special privileges are granted to orthodox maulanas and Imams by fanatic “secular” politicians are now enough to demand protection Hinduism. Now Islamist enjoys almost total immunity from the law.
The fact is Hindus are the worst victims of terrorism. In Kashmir, Islamic terrorists have almost wiped out total Hindu population from the valley. Similarly, Hindus faced the Sikh terrorism for almost three decades. In North-East Hindus have been facing the brunt of Christian and Ethnic terrorism since independence.
Images of Muslim groups targeting Hindu shops in Bengal’s Basirhat are troubling.  Bengal, Kerala, Bihar etc have become a hub of hatred for Hindus. Truly, Hindus are victims. In fact, across India, the Hindu experiences fear from the Muslim. However relentlessly “love jihad” campaigns are silenced by secular foot soldiers. The exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and lakhs of living in refugee camps is a terrible blot on the secular democracy of the country and exposes the hollowness of secularism and human rights of successive governments in Srinagar as well as Delhi. These reason enough to claim Hindus are under threat across the country.
Committees, like Sachar Committee report, erroneously presented the most powerful group (Muslim) as backward.  The community is “pampered” and “appeased”. Even the imams get the powerful political and judicial patronage.
Muslims are reproducing faster than Hindus and will soon outnumber the majority is a reality. The Muslim dominated areas like; Kashmir, Kairana, Dasna, Mallapuram, Malda, etc. are growing every day. The number is growing fast. In fact whether it is the murder of  Akhlaq, Zia, Junaid, Pehlu Khan, the attack on a Muslim family in a train, or the slapping of sedition charges on those setting off crackers after an India-Pakistan cricket match, the reality is that it is Muslims who use the victim card excellently and siphoned crores and other generosities, is enough narrative of muscular ‘minoritism’.
All are oppressing Hindus. At a time when Muslim budgetary allocation is at an all-time high, but nothing for Hindus, Hindus feel under attack. When Hindu mythology, festivals, iconography, imagery is now the mocked in art, books, movies and TV shows, when a government that is openly branded as a Hindu nationalist government and rules with a big majority, even than the Hindu feel truly cornered.
Much respected but a morally bankrupt Muslim leadership has been creating more problems for the nation. They have created and nurtured a grievance and victim industry for votes and not taken steps to reduce the Muslim radicalism.
Luckily, in spite of intolerant political leaders, bridge builders still exist and many are sweating to maintain inter-community bridges even as the secularists, communists, media, NGOs, etc. are determined to blow them up. Radical Muslims are insisting on victimhood, but the real victims of today – only citizens. The Muslim right should realise that a campaign based on creating fear may bring electoral benefits once, but will not work in the long run, because as far as his religion is concerned, the Hindu feels unsafe and threatened.
