<p>World War II had a profound effect on the colonial powers because it completely destroyed their economies. Although Hitler committed crimes against humanity, I give him credit—and not Gandhi—for India’s independence immediately after World War II. Hitler destroyed the economies of Britain and France to such an extent that they were no longer able to financially maintain their military forces, and were hence incapable of containing the burgeoning freedom movements in their colonies. It is worth noting that Britain was in such bad shape that it received about one-fourth of the total aid given under the Marshall Plan. Regardless of Gandhi or any other charismatic leader, Britain would have left India in 1947 purely for financial reasons, due to its wholly collapsed economy. After WWII, Britain left not only India but nearly all its other holdings, including Jordan in 1946, Palestine in 1947, Sri Lanka in 1948, Myanmar in 1948, Egypt in 1952 and Malaysia in 1957. For the same reason, France also had to grant independence to Laos in 1949 and Cambodia in 1953, and had to leave Vietnam in 1954; Netherlands also left most of its colonies called Dutch East Indies, mainly Indonesia in 1949. Had there been no Hitler and no World War II, it most probably would have taken another 30 or more years for India and some of the other colonies to achieve independence.</p>
<p>Another major consequence of World War II was that it greatly hastened Indian political independence. The highly publicized Cripps Mission that took place in India in 1942 was essentially a political ploy approved by Churchill to buy time for Britain and to try to assuage anti-colonialist feelings in the U.S.[1]</p>
<p>British historians P.J. Cain and A.G. Hopkins described the hopeless situation of the British in India as follows:</p>
<p>By the end of war, there was a loss of purpose at the very center of the imperial system. The gentlemanly administrators who managed the Raj no longer had the heart to devise new moves against increasing odds, not least because after 1939 the majority of the Indian Civil Service were themselves Indian. In 1945 the new Viceroy, Wavell, commented on the “weakness and weariness of the importance of the instrument still our disposal in the shape of the British element in the Indian Civil Service. The town had been lost to opponents of the Raj; the countryside had slipped beyond control. Widespread discontent in the army was followed in 1946 by a mutiny in the navy. It was then Wavell, the unfortunate messenger, reported to London that India had become ungovernable [which finally led to the independence of India].[2]</p>
<p>There is a saying that history is written by the victors of war. One of the greatest myths, first propagated by the Indian Congress Party in 1947 upon receiving the transfer of power from the British, and then by court historians, is that India received its independence as a result of Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violence movement. This is one of the supreme inaccuracies of Indian history because had there been no Hitler and no World War II, Gandhi’s movement would have slowly fizzled out because gaining full independence would have taken several more decades. By that time, Gandhi would have long been dead, and he would have gone down in history as simply one of several great Indian freedom fighters of the times, such as Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Motilal Nehru, Dada Bhai Naoroji, and C.R. Das. He would never have received the vast publicity that he did for his nonviolence movement. Political independence for India was achieved not by Mahatma Gandhi, but rather by Hitler rendering the British Empire a bankrupt entity.</p>
<p>In fact, Gandhi’s popularity among the masses had decreased substantially already in the 1930s, perhaps partially because in reality Gandhi had no idea of how to bring about India’s independence. At the Madras Congress session in 1927, when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose, two other freedom movement leaders, succeeded in having a resolution passed declaring India’s complete independence, Gandhi was annoyed, and hence—only to cater to Gandhi—the Madras resolution was modified to request dominion status under the British the following year at the Calcutta Congress Session in 1928.</p>
<p>Subhas Chandra Bose was a genius with a superlative academic record. After only six months of preparation, he stood fourth in the prestigious Indian Civil Services (ICS) examination, which in those days was held at regular intervals in Britain. In his book The Indian Struggle, Bose described his first meeting with Gandhi in 1921:</p>
<p>I began to heap question upon question…The reply to the first question satisfied me…His reply to the second question was disappointing and his reply to the third question was no better…My reason told me clearly…that there was a deplorable lack of clarity in the plan which the Mahatma had formulated and that he himself had no clear idea of the successive stages of the campaign which would bring India to her cherished goal of freedom.[3]</p>
<p>Bose was unanimously elected Congress Party president in 1938. The following year, he decided that the party should launch a nationwide civil disobedience movement, giving the British six months’ notice. With this goal in mind, he decided to run for re-election as party president. This was completely within precedent; just before his term, Nehru had also been Congress Party president for two terms. Gandhi, however, was not pleased. He threw his entire support behind Sitaramayya, another senior Congress leader. Despite this, Bose defeated him. Gandhi said publicly that the defeat of Sitaramayya was his own defeat. He then manipulated his followers in ensuing executive committee meetings in such a way that he forced Bose to resign from the party. Commenting on this, Aurobindo Ghosh, the nationally famous freedom fighter turned renunciate, stated:</p>
<p>The Congress at the present stage—what is it but a Fascist organization? Gandhi is the dictator like Stalin, I won’t say like Hitler: what Gandhi says they accept and even the Working Committee follows him; then it goes to the All-India Congress Committee which adopts it, and then the Congress. There is no opportunity for any difference of opinion, except for Socialists who are allowed to differ provided they don’t seriously differ. Whatever resolutions they pass are obligatory on all the provinces whether the resolutions suit the provinces or not. There is no room for any other independent opinion. Everything is fixed up before and the people are only allowed to talk over it—like Stalin’s Parliament.</p>
<p>Ultimately, however, Gandhi and the Congress Party opted for a “Quit India Movement” against the British in 1942 and he spread the slogan “Do or Die,” which in fact Subhas had proposed in 1938. The British government arrested all the top Congress Party leaders, keeping them imprisoned until 1945. Sporadic small-scale violence took place around the country, but it fizzled out entirely within a matter of months due to weak co-ordination and the lack of a clear-cut program of action. During 1974-75 the Total Revolution Movement, also called JP Movement, led by the veteran Gandhian socialist Jai Prakash Narayan (also called JP), against Indira Gandhi's mis-rule and corruption, was a mass movement. Tens of millions took part in this movement all over north India. But once Indira Gandhi imposed the Emergency Rule in June 1975 and arrested the top leaders of this movement, there was no JP movement anywhere. The 1942 Quit India Movement had the same fate once the British government arrested all the top Congress Party leaders.</p>
<p>Although Bose’s Indian National Army (INA), which drew its cadre from Indian POW’s in Japanese camps and fought along with Japanese forces on India’s eastern front towards the end of the war, failed in its ultimate mission, indirectly it succeeded in causing the British to leave India early. When Japan surrendered, the British charged 20,000 INA men with treason. They decided to hold the trial in public at the Red Fort in Delhi. The first three of Bose’s officers to be tried were a Hindu, a Muslim, and a Sikh. This immediately united Indians of all three religions against the British. While the Muslim League was at that time fighting with the Congress Party and demanding a separate state for Muslims, on this issue it joined Congress in the now-national movement against the INA officers’ trial. Most of Bose’s army cadres were Muslims.</p>
<p>On November 21 and 23, 1945, a mass demonstration took place in Kolkata (Calcutta). Participants included members of the Congress Party, the Communist Party, and Muslim League. The police shot more than 200 people, of whom 33 died. Then the British decided to put on trial only those INA men who were charged with committing murder or brutality against other POW’s. However, Kolkata simply exploded when, in February 1946, an Abdul Rashid Khan (a Muslim) of the INA was given seven years’ rigorous imprisonment for murder. The protest began peacefully by students of the Muslim League, but later students of the Congress and Communist parties joined them in solidarity. Both the police and the army were called to put down what came to be known as “the almost revolution.” This time nearly 400 people were shot down, and nearly 100 killed. Since racial discrimination was rampant in the Royal Indian Navy, Khan’s trial gave thousands of Indians the excuse to mutiny. From the initial flashpoint in Bombay, the revolt spread and found support throughout British India, from Karachi to Calcutta and ultimately came to involve 78 ships, 20 shore establishments and 20,000 sailors. Due to the Naval Mutiny, Britain decided to leave India in a hurry because they were afraid that if the mutiny spread to the army and police, there would be large scale killing of Britishers all over India. Hence Britain decided to transfer power at the earliest.</p>
<p>The reasons behind Indian independence are nicely summarized by the esteemed Indian historian Ramesh Chandra Majumdar:</p>
<p>There is, however, no basis for the claim that the Civil Disobedience Movement directly led to independence. The campaigns of Gandhi … came to an ignoble end about fourteen years before India achieved independence … During the First World War the Indian revolutionaries sought to take advantage of German help in the shape of war materials to free the country by armed revolt. But the attempt did not succeed. During the Second World War Subhas Bose followed the same method and created the INA. In spite of brilliant planning and initial success, the violent campaigns of Subhas Bose failed... The Battles for India’s freedom were also being fought against Britain, though indirectly, by Hitler in Europe and Japan in Asia. None of these scored direct success, but few would deny that it was the cumulative effect of all the three that brought freedom to India. In particular, the revelations made by the INA trial, and the reaction it produced in India, made it quite plain to the British, already exhausted by the war, that they could no longer depend upon the loyalty of the sepoys [low-ranking Indian soldiers under British command] for maintaining their authority in India. This had probably the greatest influence upon their final decision to quit India.”[4]</p>
<p>Without loyal sepoys [low-ranking Indian soldiers], it was quite impossible for British to rule in India because it could not have brought enough English men to India to quell any nationalist movement. It is worth noting that Britain was able to suppress the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also called India's First War of Independence, mainly because of the support of the Sikhs and Pathans. Also the large princely states of Hyderabad, Mysore, Travancore, and Kashmir, as well as the smaller ones of Rajputana, did not join the rebellion. The Sikh princes backed the British by providing soldiers and support. In 1857, the British Bengal Army had 86,000 men, of which 12,000 were European and 16,000 Sikhs. The Sikhs and Pathans of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province helped the British in the recapture of Delhi. Had they not supported the British at that time, Britain would have had to leave India in 1857.</p>
<p>It was British prime minister Clement Atlee who, when granting independence to India, said that Gandhi’s non-violence movement had next to zero effect on the British. In corroboration, Chief Justice P.B. Chakrabarty of the Kolkata High Court, who had earlier served as acting governor of West Bengal, disclosed the following in a letter addressed to the publisher of Ramesh Chandra Majumdar’s book A History of Bengal:</p>
<p>You have fulfilled a noble task by persuading Dr. Majumdar to write this history of Bengal and publishing it … In the preface of the book Dr. Majumdar has written that he could not accept the thesis that Indian independence was brought about solely, or predominantly by the non-violent civil disobedience movement of Gandhi. When I was the acting Governor, Lord Atlee, who had given us independence by withdrawing the British rule from India, spent two days in the Governor’s palace at Calcutta during his tour of India. At that time I had a prolonged discussion with him regarding the real factors that had led the British to quit India. My direct question to him was that since Gandhi’s “Quit India” movement had tapered off quite some time ago and in 1947 no such new compelling situation had arisen that would necessitate a hasty British departure, why did they have to leave? In his reply Atlee cited several reasons, the principal among them being the erosion of loyalty to the British Crown among the Indian army and navy personnel as a result of the military activities of Netaji [Subhash Chandra Bose]. Toward the end of our discussion I asked Atlee what was the extent of Gandhi’s influence upon the British decision to quit India. Hearing this question, Atlee's lips became twisted in a sarcastic smile as he slowly chewed out the word, “m-i-n-i-m-a-l!” [5]</p>

<p>Below is the full text of the plague. Some today would consider that the use of these words is clearly hate speech: ‘Mahometan Fanatic’ ‘foul assassin’. And it needs to be removed at once, scrubbed clean from the wall and even our memories. This sort of language is divisive and not conducive to community cohesion.</p>
<p>Since Victors write the history, if we do not win this war against Islam all this sort of history will be erased and even Canterbury Cathedral itself will be turned into a mosque or razed to the ground as an offense to Muslim sensitivities.</p>

<p>A monument to Frederick Mackeson depicts a scene and reads:</p>
<p>'To the memory of Frederick Mackeson, Lieutenant Colonel in the Bengal Army; Companion of the Bath: and Commissioner of Peshawur.</p>
<p>He was born at Hythe, in this county, September 2nd 1807.</p>
<p>Was educated in the King's School of this Cathedral, and died at Peshawur, September 14th 1853, of a wound inflicted by a Mahometan Fanatic.</p>
<p>The government of India thus mourned his loss: "The reputation of Lieutenant Colonel Mackeson as a soldier is known to and honoured by all: his value as a political servant of the state is known to none better than to the Governor General himself: who in a difficult and eventful time, had cause to mark his great ability, and the admirable prudence, discretion, and temper which added tenfold value to the high soldierly qualities of his public character.</p>
<p>The loss of Colonel Mackeson's life would have dimmed a victory, to lose him thus by the hand of a foul assassin, is a misfortune of the heaviest gloom for the government, which counted him amongst its bravest and best."</p>
<p>This monument was erected to his memory by his friends and admirers in India.'</p>

<blockquote><p><span><span>India's centuries-long resistance to Muslim aggression began in 636 C.E. This started a series of incursions in which Muslim warriors desecrated Hindu places of worship and universities, slaughtered monks and priests, and unleashed a reign of terror to impose Islam and subjugate the majority Hindu population. In K.S. Lal's 1973 book, <em>Growth of Muslim Population of Medieval India (1000-1800)</em>, the author estimated that about 60-80 million people died in India between 1000 and 1525 as a result of Islamic invasions.</span></span></p>
<p><strong>Modern India still faces significant encroachment and cross-border terrorism from Muslims who today represent demographic and territorial challenges to the Asian country. The Muslim population of India has increased dramatically since the partitioning of British India into the two independent states of India and Pakistan, the latter officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This has resulted in greater clout by Muslims in the determination of government allegiances, policies, and expenditures, in addition to a significant increase in general unrest.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Although the religious component of the 2011 census in India has yet to be released, it is believed that the Hindu population has dropped below 80% for the first time since independence in 1947. The official word is that the data on religion is being withheld so as not to influence the upcoming elections this year. Apparently, political leaders worry that the information will skew election results as Hindus become increasingly alarmed about Muslim population growth and cast their votes for the political party that opposes illegal immigration. Their concerns are not misplaced, as areas with marked Muslim population increases have seen higher rates of violent crime.</strong></p>
<div class="apd_static_banner writebinapdel988241 apd_writebin" id="writebinapdel988241"><ins><ins id="aswift_3_anchor"></ins></ins></div>
<p><span><span>In a push to appease the growing Muslim population and garner votes, the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill was created and has been promoted. The legislation is built on the erroneous assumption that majorities violently target minorities. The bill has been characterized as discriminatory, biased, and unconstitutional by Hindu leaders because it targets the Hindu majority, presumes guilt even from anonymous complaints, and is designed solely to aid prosecutions brought by minority populations. Hindu leaders are rightly concerned that if this bill becomes law, only Hindus will be prosecuted and convicted of violent acts and the incitement of hate crimes. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The last time India's religious data was released in the 2001 census published in 2005, the Hindu demographic share had indeed declined. Overall, the proportion of Hindus shrank from 83.4% percent in 1961 to 80.5% in the 2001 census. In some regions, the increases were even more dramatic. In West Bengal, a state bordering Bangladesh, the Muslim population increased to 36%, up from 20% of the population in 1947.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>These statistics give great unease within India because the country is bordered by two Muslim-majority nations. Pakistan, to the west, is about 97% Muslim, making it the second-most populous Muslim-majority country with the largest Shia population in the world. The 1,800-mile border between Pakistan and India is considered one of the most dangerous borders on the globe, with hostilities dating back to 1947. Meanwhile, Bangladesh, to the east, and nearly surrounded by India, is 90.4% Muslim. Massive illegal immigration and smuggling along the shared 2,429-mile border have engendered much violence.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The marked increase in the number of Muslims within India has profoundly impacted the country, especially in the border regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh, where significant illegal immigration has occurred. In these regions, Muslims have engaged in cattle-trafficking and slaughtering, desecration of Hindu religious sites, and sexual harassment of Hindu girls. The Border Security Forces, although fully armed, have been powerless to stop the criminal activity under orders from the Indian Home Minister, who has tied their hands. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Last August, a heavily armed group of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists and Pakistani troops entered Indian territory and ambushed an Indian patrol. Lashkar e Taiba first achieved worldwide notoriety following the 2008 Mumbai attack. For three days, they held the largest city in India hostage with 12 shooting and bombing attacks, killing 164 people and injuring more than 300, allegedly with the support of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. In January, Pakistani troops infiltrated Jammu and killed two Indian soldiers, beheading one. The Indian Defense Minister has cited 188 such incidents at the borders with Pakistan in the past three years.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Illegal immigration on India's border with Bangladesh has been encouraged by all of the major political parties, who provide IDs, ration cards, and voter registrations for the mostly Muslim new arrivals. Touts or fixers help them attain citizenship, often providing fake documents. They assist with job placement for a cut of the immigrants' salaries. As a result, the majority Hindu population fears that an Islamic conspiracy exists to take over India's border states.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>These fears are magnified by new mosques and madrasas that have sprung up along the border to serve as safe havens for militants and storage for arms and ammunition. Some illegal immigrants are used by jihadists to set off blasts, smuggle counterfeit currency, or transport drugs. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The increasing number of Muslims -- their ranks boosted by illegal immigration -- has also utilized the "vote bank" phenomenon to gain political influence. In contrast to the Hindu practice, common in most democracies, of voting according to individual preferences based on each candidate's political platform and other considerations, the Muslim practice is for the community to vote in concert, according to the mandate of the local imam. In existence since independence, this tactic has gained steam over the past 30-40 years. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Further, non-Muslim candidates are often forced into deal-making with Muslims. The way this occurs is that non-Muslim politicians who engage in traditional door-to-door campaigning to garner support are prohibited from entering Muslim areas. Thus, they must visit the local imam for political deal-making that will translate into Muslim votes. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Whenever Hindu politicians assess the support needed to get elected, they factor in the influence of Muslim communities, with their large number of votes associated with each mosque. Just one imam endorsement can yield a block of votes and increase a candidate's chance of winning an election. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>In this way, a candidate becomes beholden to Muslim religious leaders, who can guarantee the votes of an entire community. In return, non-Muslim candidates could end up granting prime real estate for mosque-building; providing Muslims with better jobs and business opportunities, plus more government money and resources; allowing arrest and harassment of Hindu leaders and the release of jihadists, and ignoring Islamic propaganda and criminal syndicate activity. Of the 500 seats in the Parliament, about 150 seats are affected by Muslim vote bank considerations. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Vote bank politics were at work recently in an inflammatory West Bengal incident, in which 13 local tribal members were accused of gang rape. The allegations are believed to be part of a conspiracy fueled by a politician who is fighting to maintain and expand her political power. The charges were made against tribal members who recently engaged in a six-month strike against area Muslim-owned factories to protest sexual assaults on their women and to win better pay. </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The tribal members vehemently deny that any rape took place and assert that the government is siding with the Muslim business owners by bringing false charges against them. According to reports from <a href="http://www.ibtl.in/column/1402/the-truth-behind-the-west-bengal-gang-rape/">IBTL</a> (<em>India Behind the Lens</em>), evidence exists of police brutality to extract confessions and of media collusion. In the aftermath of the alleged rape, IBTL reports that police have surrounded the village, are molesting tribal women, and are prohibiting tribal males from remaining in the area. </span></span></p>
<p><strong>India's 1,300-year-old struggle against Muslim aggression has thus evolved from past border invasions and violent skirmishes to today's internal political battles. As more and more Muslims enter the country illegally, they have gained political clout through alliances with politicians willing to swap votes for favors. In this way, India is turning its back on its Hindu tradition and population to embrace a foolhardy and dangerous future.</strong></p>

<div id="mainBodyArea"><div class="firstPar"><p>When she heard the knock on the door, the 16-year-old girl was waiting to hear if she’d been accepted into a new school. She was a beautiful, bright girl who left her impoverished village in Bihar and moved to Calcutta,<strong> <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/" target="_blank">India</a></strong>’s intellectual capital, with dreams of one day becoming a teacher.</p>
</div>
<div class="secondPar"><p>But, instead, at her door were six young thugs who dragged her away, raped her by turns and then unleashed a campaign of terror that shocked a country which campaigners had hoped was finally offering justice and protection to women after the gang-rape and murder of a Delhi student one year earlier.</p>
</div>
<div class="thirdPar"><p>Hours after reporting the assault she was kidnapped and raped again, her family was driven from its home, gang-members warned that they would kill her father and rape her yet again if she did not withdraw her police complaint.</p>
</div>
<div class="fourthPar"><p>Finally, when she refused, she was doused with kerosene and set alight in her home.</p>
</div>
<div class="fifthPar"><p>She died eight days later on New Year’s Eve, pregnant by one of her rapists.</p>

<p>On Friday, her distraught parents, shellshocked with grief, told <i>The Sunday Telegraph </i>how they had been abandoned by the police, the state government, and finally by her doctors, who refused to move her to a specialist burns unit.</p>
<p>“She was beautiful, she had white skin,” her mother, 45, said as she remembered how the girl had died, her face swollen, bloody and blackened by burns, her lips magnified and split, in chronic pain.</p>
<p>They have now taken sanctuary in the headquarters of the pro-Communist Centre for Indian Trade Unions. Officials at the centre said the family had been persecuted because their daughter’s rapists were from a gang linked to West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress party. Mamata Bannerjee, the party’s leader and state chief minister, has dismissed the growing campaign around the case as an attempt by the opposition to undermine her development policies.</p>
<p>The teenager’s mother and her father, a taxi driver who earns 5,000 Rupees (£50) a month, said the authorities had sought to drive them out of Calcutta and back to their native Bihar - rather than protect them from their tormentors.</p>
<p>Their terror began on the evening of Oct 25 last year when the father received a call from his wife at his taxi stand to say she had returned to their home in Madhyamgram, a village on the northern outskirts of Calcutta, to find their daughter missing. He reported her disappearance to the local police but she did not return until 6am the following morning.</p>
<p>“She was in a terrible condition, harassed, crying, her neck had finger marks on it,” he said, his head shaved according to Hindu tradition and eyes rheumy as he performed a puja ceremony on the banks of the River Ganges to mark his daughter’s passing.</p>
<p>When he reported the gang-rape, he was detained at the police station until late in the evening. When his wife and their daughter headed home in a bicycle rickshaw, they were headed off on an isolated road by her rapists. They bundled her into their rickshaw, and took her to a building close to the railway station where she was raped again.</p>
<p>“There were three or four of them, the same people who raped her before. It was raining, there were no houses, it was isolated and no one came to help. I fought them, but I failed and cried. I pleaded with them to release her. My daughter was shouting 'please save me’, but no one heard her voice,” said her mother.</p>
<p>She was discovered later by railway police and brought home. She had been threatened with further attacks if she did not drop her police complaint.</p>
<p>The family fled their home a few weeks later to a one-room house in Moti Lal Colony, a neighbourhood of narrow cobblestone lanes close to Calcutta’s Airport at Dumdum, but the relations and associates of the six men charged with the gang-rape soon found them and began a new campaign of terror.</p>
<p>Large gangs of young men laid siege to their new home on four occasions, kicking the door, hurling stones and shouting threats that the teenager would be raped again and her father murdered if she did not withdraw the rape charges.</p>
<p>“The goondas (hired thugs) came to the house, 30 or 40 of them, saying we must withdraw the case. It was a horrible situation, they were kicking the house and threatening,” her father explained.</p>
<p>Then on Dec 23, their tormentors returned while their daughter was home alone, and carried out their threat.</p>
<p>“Her mother had gone to the market and when she returned, she found our daughter was burned with kerosene,” he said.</p>
<p>Her father sped home in his taxi and rushed his daughter to hospital where doctors refused to transfer her to a specialist burns unit and left her untreated on a plastic sheet on the floor, he said. He and his wife told the police they believed it was a suicide attempt, but when detectives visited her on Boxing Day, when they said her condition appeared to be improving, she told them she had been attacked by two men who had poured kerosene on her and set her alight.</p>
<p>“In the presence of the doctor … we asked four or five questions about the incident, she said she was set on fire. She was a young girl and she wanted these two people in jail. Her statement was clear, they set me on fire and latched the door, please see that they are in jail,” Police Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said last week.</p>
<p>On New Year’s Eve, she died from septicaemia and organ failure resulting from burns to 40 per cent of her body.</p>
<p>Her uncle said even after the murder, when her body was brought home, a gang of thugs threatened the family again in front of senior police officers.</p>
<p>“An Indian Police Service officer said, 'I will not protect you in this place,’” he told <i>The Sunday Telegraph</i>. Instead, the officer urged the family to go home to their village in Bihar, he said.</p>
<p>Later, the police tried to cremate the teenager's body without her family’s approval to prevent it being taken to a protest rally.</p>
<p>Mr Kumar, the police commissioner, denied there were political considerations in their handling of the case. “We take all these cases and treat them with utmost sincerity. Sometimes there are unfortunate incidents,” he said.</p>
<p>The two men initially charged with assault for setting the girl on fire have now been charged with her murder. One of them is the son of the family’s landlady, Bila Sil, who last week told <i>The Sunday Telegraph</i> she had originally liked the family “but then when we knew she had been raped by criminals we asked them to leave”.</p>
<p><sup><a href="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02781/landlady_2781197c.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02781/landlady_2781197c.jpg?width=460" width="460" class="align-right"/></a>The landlady, Bila Sil (SIMON DE TREY-WHITE)</sup></p>
<p>She had heard the teenager’s screams on the morning she was set on fire but had not bothered to check on her, she said.</p>
<p>What has shocked women’s rights campaigners is that a gang-rape victim could be so abandoned by the authorities just weeks after four of the six men convicted of the Delhi gang-rape and murder were sentenced to hang.</p>
<p>Brinda Karat, a former Communist MP from Calcutta and one of India’s leading women’s rights campaigners, said the impunity displayed by the victim’s rapists and killers reflected the lack of justice in parts of the country where criminals have political patronage.</p>
<p>“In West Bengal a leaf does not stir without the approval of the political boss, the Trinamool Congress. It’s impossible for the police to have been responsible for such criminal negligence unless they were in collusion,” she said.</p>
<p>She also criticised the state’s chief minister for her failure to support victims of sexual violence.</p>
<p>“The language she uses is never in support of the victim but always to defend either criminals or the government. In this case her spokesman said this is a conspiracy against the government. Is it not bizarre that a girl gang-raped twice, punished for reporting it and then murdered becomes a conspiracy against the government?” she asked.</p>
<p>Back in the sanctuary in Calcutta’s trade union headquarters, the teenager’s mother is being comforted by relatives. She turns the ruby and silver bangle on her wrist and strains to control herself as she tries to describe her only child and the family’s future without her.</p>
<p>She was homely, she loved cooking, helping her mother with the chores, she said.</p>
<p>“She was such a good girl. A beautiful-looking girl, she had a knack for education, we hoped she would be a teacher or a government officer and have a good future.</p>
<p>"Now we want these goondas to hang and protection for our family. We still feel afraid, but we will stay in Calcutta and fight.”</p>

<p class="caption">Andrew North reports for Newsnight on how many Indian politicians are accused of rape, murder and other serious crimes.</p>
</div>
<p class="introduction">Manoj Kumar Paras is meeting constituents in a covered yard outside his home, many desperate for his help.</p>
<p>He is a minister in the state government in India's Uttar Pradesh state.</p>
<p>Mr Paras is also charged with taking part in the gang-rape of a local woman.</p>
<p>The Indian government has promised speedier justice for crimes against women, shaken by <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-20886253" title="Delhi women march against rape">protests over the fatal gang rape of a Delhi student</a>.</p>
<p>Five of the accused are already on trial in a hastily-established fast-track court. A sixth accused, who is a minor, is being tried in a juvenile court.</p>
<p>But six years since Mr Paras was first charged, his case has neither been prosecuted nor dismissed.</p>
<p><span class="cross-head">Not unusual</span></p>
<p>The outcry over the Delhi gang rape has prompted a wider backlash against the old order, and the number of Indian politicians allowed to remain in office while facing serious charges is under the spotlight again.</p>
<p>Mr Paras' case is far from unusual.</p>
<div class="story-feature wide"><h2>CRIME FACTS</h2>
<ul>
<li>1,448 of India's 4,835 MPs and state legislators have declared criminal cases</li>
<li>641 of these 1,448 are facing serious charges like murder, rape, kidnapping</li>
<li>44 of 206 Congress party MPs have declared criminal charges</li>
<li>6 legislators in state assemblies are facing rape charges</li>
<li>29 of 58 ministers in Uttar Pradesh state have criminal records</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>According to the <a href="http://adrindia.org/">Association for Democratic Reforms</a> (ADR), a Delhi-based campaign group, a third of India's 4,835 elected representatives have declared criminal charges against them - many of them face serious cases like murder, rape and kidnapping.</p>
<p>The figures are based on information politicians themselves provide in their mandatory pre-election declarations.</p>
<p>Uttar Pradesh has more alleged criminals in its administration than any other state: Mr Paras is among 29 of 58 ministers charged with some kind of crime.</p>
<p>The state transport minister, Mehboob Ali, is charged with attempting to murder a rival politician, Nawshad Ali, last year.</p>
<p>He shows us the charge sheet drawn up by police, called FIR (first information report) in India.</p>
<p>But the minister disputes whether he has been charged.</p>
<p>"Maybe there is a complaint in a court or a police station," he says. "Maybe after an investigation, it might be found to be untrue."</p>
<p>On his election declaration, he has admitted to other past attempted murder charges, as well as kidnapping and robbery.</p>
<p>So far, there has been no progress in any of these cases.</p>
<p>Mr Paras says everyone in his Nagina constituency knows about his rape charge, insisting that it is "a conspiracy" fabricated by rivals.</p>
<p>That's possible in India's robust politics.</p>
<p>But it can be rare for women to press charges of rape - especially in rural areas like Nagina where tradition and caste govern life.</p>
<p>Many do not even report an assault because of the fear they will be ostracised by their family and community.</p>
<p><span class="cross-head">'Tainted' politicians</span></p>
<p>However serious the charge, as long as a politician is not convicted, he or she can stay in office under Indian law.</p>
<p>They are helped by the overloaded justice system, where even minor cases can drag out.</p>
<div class="caption body-narrow-width"><a href="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/65903000/gif/_65903615_manojmeeting.gif" target="_blank"><img src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/65903000/gif/_65903615_manojmeeting.gif?width=304" width="304" class="align-left"/></a><span>Manoj Kumar Paras says the rape charge against him is a "conspiracy" by his rivals</span></div>
<p>But ADR's national coordinator Anil Bairwal says politicians can also use their position to delay their cases "not just for years, but decades".</p>
<p>Until India's courts try more politicians, Mr Bairwal says the "poison" will spread through the world's largest democracy.</p>
<p>When Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav took power last year, he pledged not to appoint "tainted" officials to his government. His office would not agree to an interview, despite repeated requests.</p>
<p>Other parties, including the Congress, have made similar pledges.</p>
<p>Yet, ADR figures show, the number of accused politicians keeps rising.</p>
<p>Parties need them to deliver votes, especially where religion and caste play such a key role.</p>
<p>Mr Ali has a proven track record at delivering votes from his fellow Muslims in his constituency, winning four elections in a row.</p>
<p>Mr Paras won by nearly 30,000 votes last year in Nagina, with a particular appeal among members of his Dalits or untouchable caste.</p>
<p>With a general election due in the next year, "India's democracy is in danger", warns Gopal Subramaniam, a former solicitor general and one of the authors of the Verma Commission report into the Delhi gang rape case.</p>
<p>Their report called on all politicians facing serious charges to resign - coming into line with many other democracies.</p>
<p id="">But Mr Paras rejects the idea of standing down: "Just charging someone is not enough, you have to wait until you are convicted."</p>

<p class="p3">General Tikka Khan was briefed not only by General Yahya Khan but also by Mr. Bhutto then riding the crest of a popularity wave as the new savior of Islam.</p>
<p class="p3">Gen Tikka in turn briefed his Army Senior Commanders and picked up a staff who would understand why a Muslim Massacre by a Muslim Army, Hindu slaughter, why all intellectuals were to be killed in cold blood, <b>why all young Bengali Muslim girls were to be raped, not to satisfy lust but as a religious duty to produce a new generation of blue-blooded true Muslims.</b></p>
<p class="p3">When the Sheikh had finally turned down all sentimental arguments, pleading for still further sacrifices on the part of Bangladesh in the interest of Islam (as understood in Punjab), Bhutto made his appearance in Dacca for no reasons at all. He had arrived to strengthen the shaky hands of Yahya Khan, the Martial Law Administrator, and to advise him what action to take with hell raisers like Mujeeb.”</p>
<p class="p3">“ The first major slaughter appears to have taken place on 23 March, 1971, a day before the talks were ended and Gen Yahya flew back to Islamabad.</p>
<p class="p3">On this day thousands of people started collecting near Chittagong port. mostly they consisted of innocent laborers.</p>
<p class="p3">There was no government order prohibiting assemblies. Without warning, automatic fire was opened upon them and soon the whole area was littered with dead bodies. The dead were later found to be over four thousand. Their bodies were thrown into the sea.</p>
<p class="p3">On 25 march 1971, the Pakistan forces entered Dacca University and went straight for Jaggannath Hall, which was a hostel for Hindu students. Over one hundred students were butchered mercilessly in their rooms.</p>
<p class="p3">Next morning Army units again arrived. They gathered all those who were wounded the previous day including Dr GC Deb, the Head of the department of philosophy, Dacca University, and ordered them to collect all the dead bodies from different rooms and pile them up in the courtyard of the hall.</p>
<p class="p3">It was a difficult and painful task for bleeding and disabled persons but orders had to be complied with. After this painful task was over, all the wounded including Dr GC Deb were lined up close to the dead bodies and shot dead mercilessly.</p>
<p class="p3">On 25 March 1971, all the hutments of poor people, mostly Muslim rickshaw pullers of Babupara Basti (slum) near New Market, Dhaka, were set ablaze with incendiary bombs. Machine guns were already in position to mow down any one who tried to escape from being burnt alive.</p>
<p class="p3">No one was to be spared.</p>
<p class="p3">Children and women met their fate along with their men folk. Over one hundred thousand were burnt in this inferno. They were all Muslims. Their only fault was that they formed a part of a large mass of people who wanted to earn enough to be able to live their miserable lives</p>
<p class="p4"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110491162?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="400" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110491162?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p class="p4"></p>
<p class="p2">On 26 March the same treatment was meted out to Muslims occupying huts along the railway line between Nikhot and Hatkhola. Incendiary bombs and Machine guns took a heavy toll of people who had no chance even to see the butchers of the Army.</p>
<p class="p3">In Naya Bazar Basti, in old Dhaka city, on the same day, Muslim Awami League supporters were given the same treatment, but their young girls were removed to Army camp for rape as a measure of mercy.</p>
<p class="p3">On the night of 25 March, Pak forces attacked East Bengal Rifles HQ in Chittagong. This formation consisted of loyal Bangalees who had served as a Pakistan Army for about 25 years. But they were not to be trusted any more since they were known to be sympathetic to Mujib’s movement for autonomy. About a thousand men who were under training to serve Pakistan were lined up and machine-gunned.</p>
<p class="p3">Curfew was first clamped down on Sylhet town on 25 March 1971 about which none of the inhabitants were given any notice. An old man was coming out of the mosque after prayers when he was shot dead. The Army men then asked his two sons to remove the dead body. As soon as they came near the dead body they were both shot dead also. This pile of three bodies was allowed to rot in open view as a lesson for others who might venture out to the mosque for prayers.</p>
<p class="p3">Another instance is quoted of whole rows of praying Muslims in a Mosque, being machine-gunned, with the remarks that they were not true Muslims and hence not entitled to pray in mosque.</p>
<p class="p3">On 27 March a house-to-house search was conducted in Sylhet town from where most people had run away to the countryside. All women left in the town were raped including one who was 60 years old. After committing rape on one girl, they chopped off her breasts. The poor thing collapsed and died on the spot.</p>
<p class="p3">On 31 March during day time Pahartoli locality of Chittagong town was attacked by the Pak Army in collaboration with Bihari refugees. About 3,000 Bangalees were killed and all women raped. About 500 beautiful girls were dragged to the cantonment and innumerable men used to rape them. One of these girls is reported to have remarked it is possible to stand the pangs of rape by so many beasts but impossible to bear the heat in body which results from excessive accumulation of semen.</p>
<p class="p3">About 40% population of Dinajpur district was of Hindus. Only a few could escape to India. The remainders were wiped out by the Pak Army. Some Hindus appealed to be concerted into Islam and spared the agony of torture to death. None was excused. All were shot dead and buried in one pit. On the report of one Sital Sarkar that Hindus of Singia village about 8 miles North East of Thakurgaon were still hoisting Bangladesh flag, the total Hindu population of that village consisting of about 1500 people was done to death in about half an hour and the dead bodies dumped in two large pits dug by the Hindus themselves.</p>

<p class="p2">Chittagong town perhaps suffered most. On 5/6 April the town was cordoned off, houses looted, women raped and after the rape naked women were marched to the river for a bath-- all tied with ropes like cattle. About 50 girls were taken to Ramgarh military cantonment where each girl was raped daily by about 10 to 15 men. At the time of rape the Pakistanis would shout “Joy Bangla” the war cry of freedom fighters and ask their miserable victims to shout for help to their father, “Sheikh Mujeeb.” Here all those affected were upper and middle class Muslims.</p>
<p class="p3">On 10 April 1971, Biharis(non-Bengali Muslim migrants from Bihar, India) observed what they called a ‘Revenge Day’ in Dhaka with the full cooperation of the Pak Army.</p>
<p class="p3">The area chosen in Dhaka lay between Mirpur and Syamoli, since it was mainly occupied by upper and middle class Muslim government servants. The whole locality was cordoned off by Pak forces. Non-Bangalees were then let loose to satisfy all their sadist tendencies. After loot and butchery they raped every women.</p>
<p class="p3">Killing continued while rape was being done. About 3,000 Bangalees lost their lives. No one knows the number of women who lost their honor besides lives. Those were some of the reasons for Biharis being denied Bangladesh citizenship.</p>
<p class="p4">There was yet another cruelty practiced which has no precedence in history. During curfew hours Pak soldiers used to collect all the young boys they could find in the houses. They were blindfolded and handcuffed and taken to hospitals where their total blood used to be drained off. After which their dead bodies were thrown into Buri Ganga River. This is reported to have been practiced at many places throughout Bangladesh.</p>
<p class="p4"><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110491223?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="400" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110491223?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p class="p2">One Kuti Sen, a Bengali Hindu, who had not been able to run away to India, was caught and handed over to the Muslim leaguers gathered in the local football field. A Pak Army Officer gave a lecture, which was explained, to the Bengali Muslim leaguers by an interpreter. The gist of the lecture was that all Hindus were agents of India and, therefore Muslims should kill them as an act of religious duty. Kuti Sen was tied with ropes, thrown on the ground and kicked to death by all present as an act of piety.</p>
<p class="p4">On recapture of Maulabi Bazar, then a sub -division of Sylhet district, in the third week of April, the town was looted and all suspects killed. All fair looking young girls were taken to Army camp and raped. Next morning they were brought naked to the local playground and compelled to dance before the leaders of the Muslim League throughout the day. Then they were taken to Shibpur Army camp and nothing was heard about them again.</p>
<p class="p3">On 1st April 1971, a most horrifying thing happened in Holati village under the Sabhar PS of Dhaka district:</p>
<p class="p3">The village was surrounded on all sides by Pak Army men accompanied by Biharis armed with daggers and spears. This was a pro-Awami League Hindu village. It was set on fire where even the cattle and domestic animals got burnt alive. Those who ran out were machine gunned as usual except some girls who were saved for sadistic pleasures. Babies were snatched from their mother and thrown up to fall on the pointed bayonets as an exercise in dexterity. The breasts of their mothers were chopped off and inserted into the mouths of the dead bodies. Those still alive were asked to shout ‘Joy Pakistan’. Most of them did as they were told by the sadist butchers. A boy aged six years, however, innocently said ‘Joy Bangla’ the slogan he was used to shouting. This enraged the Army men so much that they cut that boy into fifty pieces and gave one piece each to the Hindus still alive to eat. On their refusal they were all shot dead to the glory of Pakistan.</p>
<p class="p3">The few young girls who were spared the mercy of death were told not to be afraid. “ We are not going to hurt you or kill you. You have been chosen to receive the good Muslim semen so that you give birth to true Muslims and not the bastards like Mujib” Those girls were dragged away to the Army camp at Tungi.</p>
<p class="p3">Here is another instance of the horrible tricks the Pak Army used to kill Bangalees. On 27 April 1971, the Pak Army decided to treat the derailment of a train at Goal Tek as an act of sabotage. Actually the railway track had given way due to erosion of the soft soil under the track. But while ravaging the Bangalees was the main agenda any excuse would do.</p>
<p class="p3">Four villages in the vicinity i.e. Goal Tek, Morkon, Pagar and Abdullapur were charged with sheltering the Mukti Bahini (Freedom Fighters) and committing sabotage. The villages were set on fire while the inhabitants were asked to gather along with their families in selected places in batches of about thirty. Here fathers and brothers were asked to rape their daughters and sisters in front of the gathering. On refusal all of them were butchered including women and children. They were all Muslims. In some places people were forced to jump into the fire and were roasted alive</p>

<p class="p2">“.......After I went to office on March 29, I was asked to go to Sakharibazar along with others for moving dead bodies by trucks. As there were Pakistani troops patrolling the road and fire was in front of the Judge court, we couldn’t go to Sakharibazar through that way. We entered Sakharibazar from the west side crossing past the Patuatuli police station. We checked all the homes of that area and found dead bodies of all age groups: men, women, youth, elderly, teen-agers and kids in almost every room. Most of the buildings were destroyed. Most of the female bodies were without clothes. Their breasts were cut off. We found sticks pushed into their genitalia. Many of the bodies were burnt. While the Punjabi troops showered the area with bullets, the Biharis looted their homes. We quickly filled two trucks with dead bodies and left the area. Although there were heaps of dead bodies we did not go back to Sakharibazar the same day for fear of getting killed.</p>
<p class="p3">I was asked to clear Mill Barrack off dead bodies on March 30. When I got there with the council truck, I saw dead bodies scattered around the place. Many bodies of young males were tied with ropes. As we cut off the rope we found that their hands were tied at the back, blind folded and faces were acid burnt so as to erase their identity. The air reeked with rotten corpses and shot bodies were found entwined with the bayonet-slit ones. Some skulls were smashed and brains seeping out. I found dead bodies of six pretty girls on the river bank: stark naked and shot dead but with blood smeared breasts and genitalia. I dumped about 70 bodies, picked from Mill-barrack, at Dhalpur garbage after taking them from Mill Barrack ghat.</p>
<p class="p3">Later I was asked to clear Sadarghat, Shyam Bazar and Badam Toli. I took decomposed bodies from those places to dump at Dhalpur garbage. The day I cleared Kalibari, I had also to carry bodies from a teacher’s residence behind the Rokeya Hall of Dhaka University. I carried a total of nine bodies, men and kids, from the staff quarters behind the Rokeya Hall. Moreover I also took away the dead body of a university teacher from the staircase of his residence. The body was wrapped up with mattress.</p>

They were rich enough to buy up property owned by fellow migrants from Java as well as the Lampung natives.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Increasingly, the villages became polarized, with hamlets like Balinuraga, which were targeted by Muslims, looking distinctly Balinese with their own gantries, coconut leaf decoration and Hindu temples.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The economic disparity has led to social envy by the natives. Journalists who visited the villages saw a picture of contrast between the well-endowed homes of the Balinese migrants and those belonging to the Lampung natives.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Third, integration was seriously lacking, despite the two communities having lived in close proximity with each other for decades.</span><br/> <br/> <span>As the migrants lived in an enclave, they retained their customs, traditions and practices — and thus their distinct cultural identity.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Religion was another factor that set them apart from the natives. The two communities hardly mixed with each other.</span><br/> <br/> <span>Fourth, analysts blame the local government for neglecting the welfare of the natives, who were weak economically compared to the migrants. The natives had no way of channelling their grievances and tended to blame the migrants for their economic woes.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The local authorities and the police failed to prevent the clash or detect early the rising tension that had been building up since January. When the latest violence flared up, the police were ill-prepared to handle the situation and had to seek reinforcements from Jakarta.</span><br/> <br/> <span>South Lampung has now joined the list of regions under the transmigration program which have been hit by ethnic unrest.</span><br/> <br/> <span>These include Central Kalimantan, with outbreaks of violence between the indigenous, mainly Christian Dayak and the Muslims transmigrated from Madura, in East Java; and Papua, with the recurring clash between the natives and the Javanese migrants.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The South Lampung government will have to do a lot more to address the root cause of the clash, rather than rely on the uneasy truce forged through the peace deal between the communities to maintain order in the district.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The 10-point peace agreement includes a mechanism to settle disputes through consultation and a call on the Balinese migrants to be less insular and to mix more with their Muslim neighbors.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The likelihood of another clash remains because of the simmering tension that has refused to go away, and the sense of injustice among the victims as the agreement does not cover prosecution of the perpetrators and the offer of any compensation for the deaths of their relatives and the loss of their homes.</span><br/> <br/> <span>The clash is also disturbing because it happened in one of the oldest transmigration settlements.</span><br/> <br/> <span>After being relocated in South Lampung for half a century, the migrants and their descendants would have been better integrated with the natives. Instead, the Lampung villagers went on a rampage, attacking the Balinese and razing their homes.</span><br/> <br/> <span>There have been repeated calls by the locals to move the Balinese to faraway Kalimantan in Borneo as a solution. These have been rejected by the authorities as the migrants are Indonesians who have the right to settle in any part of the country.</span><br/> <br/> <span><a href="http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/commentary/indonesia-facing-ethnic-tension/555751">http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/commentary/indonesia-facing-ethnic-tension/555751</a></span></p>

<p>Over 5 days in sustained & systematic violence against Original Tribes & other Hindus in Assam perpetrated by Bangla Deshi Infiltrators who have settled in Assam, around 170,000 people have lost their homes, small little jungle agriculture lands & whatever meager source of income they had. Their houses are burnt, invading Muslims have killed men & women, schools are burnt & children are killed as well. Around 150,000 people are shelter less, homeless, food-less & are with just one set of old clothes that they wore when being chased away out of their homes & villages.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110490082?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="400" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/110490082?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="400" class="align-center"/></a></p>
<p>These are the original tribes on Assam who have been living in the hills there for ages without damaging environment, instead, making our culture rich with their wonderful art, music, dance, paintings & simple eco-friendly life-style. For the past many years Bangla Deshi infiltrators invaded Bharat from North Eastern borders, encroached upon these Tribes’ lives, lands & livelihood pushing them more & more away.</p>
<p>Illegal immigration from overcrowded Bangladesh presents challenges for all of eastern India, which shares a porous border with the smaller nation. Since the 1971 war of independence that created the state of Bangladesh, millions of Bangladeshi immigrants (the vast majority of them illegal) have poured into neighboring India.</p>
<p>Govts for obvious vote politics reason helped the Bangla Deshi infiltrators & left the Original Tribes from Assam in the lurch. To hide the truth from the nation Govts tried to paint this crisis as Bodos Vs Muslims, but it is Non-Muslims (including Hindus, Christians, Tribes etc) Vs Bangla Deshi infiltrators whom Govt use as big vote bank.</p>
<p>The attacks on these tribes & Hindus had been happening since past 10 years but in such a way that they were not allowed to be publicized. Today the entire situation has gone out of control & over 50 such tribes there & Hindus are on the verge of collapse only due to Muslim invasion of Bangla Deshi infiltrators. Karbi Anglong, Khasi, Bodo, Dimasa, Jaintiya & many such Tribes are worse affected, many lost their bread earners in attacks. Old people are without medicines. Children without even a drop of milk. Shelters that are started by the Govt are housing Muslims who claim to be homeless while they are infiltrators. Tribals & Hindus have nowhere to go & staying in some relief camps with no help available.</p>

<p>Islamabad (AsiaNews) – Three young Hindu women abducted in February and forced to convert to Islam and marry three Muslim men must return to their husbands, Pakistan’s Supreme Court ruled. For the justices, the three women freely chose their fate. Their families object that they were placed under huge pressure from Muslim religious groups.</p>
<p>On 26 March, <span><a href="http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Hindu-girl-tells-Supreme-Court-she-would-rather-die-than-convert-to-Islam-24358.html">one of the three women, Rinkle Kumari</a></span> (<em>pictured</em>), told the judges <img class="wp-image-2055 alignleft" title="PAKISTAN_(f)_0419_-_Rinkle_Kumari" src="https://shariaunveiled.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/pakistan_f_0419_-_rinkle_kumari.jpg?w=150&h=112" alt="" height="112" width="150"/>that she wanted to go back to her family. In her statement to the court, she said, “there is justice only for Muslims; there is no justice for Hindus. Kill me here in court, but don’t send me to Darul-Aman (Qur’anic school). All these people are hand in glove, they will kill us”.</p>
<p>The other two women expressed a similar desire to go back to their family.</p>
<p>“This is a great injustice,” said Hindu activist Dilip Kumar. “Three weeks ago, the three women said they wanted to go back to their parents, but the judges chose to send them to prison to put pressure on them.” If they had not returned to their husbands, he believes, Muslims would have killed them.</p>
<p>For Fr Anwar Patras, a priest from the diocese of Rawalpindi, the court bent to the will of Muslim groups who kidnap young Hindu and Christian women to force them to convert and become prostitutes.</p>
<p>“The government must adopt a law against forced conversions,” he said. “It is clear that the young women were put under pressure to convert. The Supreme Court was their last hope and it let them down.”</p>
<p>Rinkel Kumari, a 19-year-old Hindu student was abducted on 24 February in Mirpur Mathelo, a small village in Sindh (southeastern Pakistan), by a thugs hired by a rich Muslim scholar.</p>
<p>The two other women, Lata and Asha, were abducted in Jacobabad and Larkana.</p>
<p>In order to get their daughters back, the parents filed a petition with the Supreme Court to avoid the local Islamic court.</p>
<p>On 26 March, the three women appeared before the court, testifying that they had been forced to convert and that they wanted to go back to their families.</p>
<p>The justices incarcerated them to allow them “to reflect” on their choice without the possibility of meeting their parents.</p>
<p>Each month, 25 to 30 young women are abducted for a total of about 300 forced conversions and marriages a year.</p>
<p>Young Hindu but also Christian women and teenage girls are taken away from their families and handed over to their would-be husbands and torturers.</p>
