What a shame? Notwithstanding the horrendous fact of the axe of Islamists falling on innocent Hindus, India has resumed trade with Bangladesh weeks after the forcible change of guard on August 5, 2024 with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fleeing the country. What initially appeared to be a political movement, turned out gruesome mayhem of Hindus-rape, murder, plunder, desecration and destruction of temples, massive arrests including those of monks and brazen violation of human rights. The script enacted by Jihadis was the same, as has been happening in Islamic nations like Pakistan and Afghanistan in the recent past and much earlier during the Mughals and British eras.
In the midst of Hindu slaughter, reports of the transportation of first consignment of 27,000 tonnes of rice, out of the agreed upon 200,000 tonnes, on December 27, 2024 is like salt to the injuries of suffering Sanatanis.
Resumption of trade is happening under the nose of the strongest ever Prime Minister Narendra Modi-a man widely seen the world over as the only savior of Sanatan and Sanatanis. Actually, it was unbelievable to learn on September 12, 2024 itself from the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal that trade and commerce have started with Bangladesh. “Trucks carrying essential commodities and other items are plying between the two countries carrying essential commodities,” he said, adding that India has conveyed to Bangladesh to fulfill the shared aspirations of prosperity, security and development. Butchering of Hindus in Bangladesh can neither be shared aspiration nor in the ‘mutual interest’ of at least India.
The so-called geo-political developments in the region are disturbing for Sanatanis, who are least bothered about diplomatic nuances. They want protection of Hindus and nothing else. They wonder what India is gaining from dispatching essentials to Dhaka except hostility at borders, drones hovering to cause death and destruction and continued persecution of Hindus?
India and Indians have not learnt any lesson from the gory history of centuries. They have forgotten Mughal invasions that witnessed plunder resources, cities looted, wealth amassed to fuel the empire’s expansionist ambitions, cultural heritage trampled, temples destroyed and above all women dishonoured ruthlessly, conversions enforced hugely and the Sanatan symbols destroyed beyond recognition. Imagine how a handful of soldiers on mules and horses embarked towards habitations and grew as a vast empire after killing men and taking women as wives. Those resisting suffered enslavement with barbarism and persecution in the name of religion. Rulers like Aurangzeb are still remembered for their policies of forced conversion and imposition of the jizya tax on Hindus. His destruction of temples is haunting even now when mosque bases are turning out to be the worship places of Hindus. Those glamourising Mughal brutality and describing Mughals as heroes are actually the descendants of lakhs of unfortunate men and women who were forcibly converted. Many went in hibernation bearing the brunt while some of them, though not converted, committed all the atrocities on fellow Hindu brethren to please their Mughal masters, which is recorded in Abul Fazl’s Akbarnama, a recorded compendium of the Battle of Haldighati fought on June 18, 1576. It is said that when Mughals found saffron Pakri donned personnel killing fellow compatriots, chanting ‘Har Har Mahadev’ the Mughal commanders enjoyed and lauded them. This syndrome of ‘pleasing the masters’ continues till date in different manifestations as the so-called pseudo secular Hindus are working against the Sanatan and Sanatanis to establish their credentials as ‘secular’ and loyal to a particular community. They can be seen joining zealots as the flag-bearers of the so-called Ganga Jamuni Tehzeeb and the Mughals to project those horrendous eras as the golden period of Indian history. Their cruelty continues in the manifestation of Hindu persecution and bashing in West Bengal, parts of Uttar Pradesh, Kashmir and many other states of independent India.
This is what happened before the arrival of East India Company to India to replace the tyrannical, brute, jihadi and most persecuting era by yet another spell of disaster by Britons to bruise Bharat Mata. However, the silver lining this time around was the emergence of patriotic forces like Vir Savarkar, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and lot many other unsung heroes, who ignited fire among patriots that continues to guide the generations.
