“After witnessing complete annihilation of Hindus in “Kulachi”, a town in District “Dera Ismail Khan” of NWFP in mid April 1947, our family crossed river Indus in first week of May 1947, to reach a Railway Station “Darya Khan” in District Mianwali of West Punjab. From Darya Khan, we had to travel to reach “Lahore” via “Kundian” and “Lala Musa”, to ultimately go to “Sialkot”, where my father was serving at that time to witness complete annihilation of Hindus and Sikhs once again in August 1947.
It was a long journey from Darya Khan to Lahore, with heavy rush in the train. So, my mother and sisters were accommodated in some Ladies compartment, which had no rush. There was no Muslim lady in the compartment. On the way, at some station, one Muslim lady boarded that ladies compartment. She started shouting loudly, that Hindus killed Muslims in Bihar. All Hindu ladies listened to her like dumb sheep and no one had the guts to rebut. My mother could not tolerate it and retorted that Muslims were the first to start killings of Hindus in Bengal. When those Bengali Hindu refugees reached Bihar for shelter, there was a natural reaction against Muslims in Bihar. How she dared to blame Hindus? This was sufficient to silence that Muslim lady, and she kept mum during the rest of the journey.”
Think, understand, and awake! Raise your voice against this conspiracy
1. Whatever leaders there are in the country today, of whichever party or class, are bent on capturing power through people’s votes and then exploiting and plundering the people for full five years. After winning the election, the leaders turn into rulers and through resort to intimidation with the help of the Police or goondas fill their unholy coffers (or make their tons of money).
2. Even fifty four years after independence (which, in fact, is another name for the country’s partition) these leaders keep the people starved, unclothed and illiterate, and setting them at each other’s throat in the name of language, province, community, caste, they serve their own selfish interests.
3. They have plunged the country into the forge of corruption through such un-necessary or uncalled for policies as control, quota, permit, licensing, rationing, sales tax, excise duty, labor act, and nationalization. The game of these opportunist leaders is to make sure that there is no honest man around and their seat of power is ever safe.
4. Their big plan is to make every man a slave by putting him through the grind of what they choose to call discipline, by making him wait for hours in a queue for essential things under a regime of official restrictions.
Does a leader swearing by socialism ever stand in a queue to get his ration, milk or kerosene oil etc.
His followers extol him as harbinger of non-violence and compassion, but we may not be able to find a person, crueler and helper of criminals, in the entire history of India. He had absolutely no compassion for the Hindus and Sikhs at the time of partition of India in 1946 to 48, who were being butchered, women and girls being r***d, dishonored, abducted and brutally tortured by the Muslims in Pakistan. Many Hindu and Sikh women had to save their honor by ending their lives, by jumping into wells, canals. And rivers. When all these things were happening this embodiment of love and compassion did not do anything positive to help them. Instead he was giving advice to refugees from Noakhali (now in Bangladesh) not to run away from their homes for fear of losing life, and return to their villages and show love and goodwill to those who were killing them. When he was passing through Lahore (now in Pakistan), it was burning, and there was whole scale murders most of the time. But his advice to the frightened Hindus was “….if Lahore is dying, die with it…..” (Partition and aftermath – memoirs of an Ambassador – Kewal Singh, page 49)
Again, is his prayer meeting on 23rd September, 1947, Gandhi said – “he had seen a deputation of Hindus and Sikhs from Rawalpindi as also from Dera Gazi Khan. The speaker (i.e. Gandhi) had no doubt that Pakistan authorities should ensure full protection to remaining Hindus and Sikhs in every part of Pakistan. He would repeat his advice that they should all be prepared to die as a man, rather than leave their homes. The art of dying bravely and with honor did not need any special training,” (see page 33, Delhi Diary – A collection of speeches by M. K. Gandhi from 10-9-47 to 30-1-48 Navjivan Publishing House, Ahmadabad).
It is worth noting that Gandhi was giving this advice to unarmed, defense-less and helpless Hindus and Sikhs, which included women and children also. Is this the compassion and non-violence which he had to offer? While he himself was enjoying pure goat milk, honey, fruit juices, dry fruits etc. to keeps his old frail body with bony structure, incapable of standing without the help of two girls supporting him on both the sides, alive for 125 years. Was it not shameful to do so? Why this fearless incarnation of compassion and giving sermon to others on bravery, did not go himself to Rawalpindi and Dera Gazi Khan, to tell to the Muslims to first kill him, before touching his followers the Hindus and Sikhs, like Swami Shraddhanand, who offered himself – bare-chested to face the bullets of British troops while leading his followers at Chandini Chowk in Delhi. Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed his life to save the Kashmiri Hindus Pandits from persecution and torture by the cruelest Muslim ruler Aurangzeb. Why Gandhi did not follow these examples? If he was afraid of death at least he could have directed the government, which could never disobey him, to take some positive steps to save the precious life of Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan. Why did he not do anything? However, when there was repercussion in India against what was happening in Pakistan, the old man immediately went on fast-unto-death for the sake of Muslims. Are these the qualities of a Mahatma, who had double standards, one for the Muslims, and another one for the Hindus?
It is clear, that he was very cruel to the Hindus. Similarly when Moplas (Muslims of Malabar in South India) butchered 2500 Hindus & another 20,000 Hindus were converted into Islam by force in 1923 Minutes, after the failure of Khilafat movement, he addressed them as “My brave Mopla Brothers”, as if killing of Hindus was an act of bravery.
Here it would be quite relevant to mention as experienced in my own life. It was in December 1972, that I happened to go to Ferozepur from Nangal Township along with my wife, where her aunt was living. One Sunday, we both attended the weekly satsang meeting of the Arya Samaj near Turi Bazar. It was pretty cold, and the attendance was hardly ten. Naturally our new faces attracted the attention of the President of the Arya Samaj a tall respectable person, wearing turban and aged about sixty five. At the end of the meeting he talked very affectionately and wanted our introduction, which I gave. Then I also asked for his introduction. He said that they were at the Sheikhupura (about 40 kms from Lahore in Pakistan) in 1947. He was an active and influential worker of the Congress. As per advice and utterances of Gandhi, he insisted that Hindus and Sikhs of his locality to stay and not to migrate to safer places. The result was that the entire male population was massacred. Girls and women abducted, somehow his family was able to escape. He was deeply hurt and felt that he was personally responsible for that event. Here it may be added, that in August 1947, 22000 (twenty two thousand) Hindus were butchered at Sheikhupura in just 48 hours, by the Muslims with the help of Muslim Police and military. This fact was accepted by Mr. Nehru the first Prime Minister of India.
As a matter of fact the President of Arya Samaj was not at all at fault, because he had acted on the advice of Gandhi. Still he felt guilty and so much disturbed that he was unable to concentrate on any work. As told by him, he was spending his time only in social and religious activities. But in contrast see the old Mahatma, he never felt guilty even after misguiding cores of people, resulting is slaughter of 80 lakhs Hindus and Sikhs, rather he kept on repeating his stupid advice. For him the life of the Hindus carried no value. He was worried only about the well being of Muslims, and his own feeble decayed old body, for keeping it alive up to the age of 125 years.
Gandhi, Nehru and the Congress-men & Women, (Bharwas & Bharwis) were guilty of getting 10 lakhs Hindus and Sikhs killed in 1947 and another 50 lakhs during 1971 in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). It is a historical fact, that India was partitioned in 1947 on the basis of Hindus and Muslims; of course Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Animists of North east were counted with the Hindus. The Christians & the Parsees were expected to remain where they were at the time of partition. This basis of partition was accepted by the Congress, including Gandhi and Nehru. Therefore, it was not only moral duty, but also legal obligation of Congress leaders, who had become the rulers of truncated India, to ensure the safety and well being of the Hindus and Sikhs etc. left in Pakistan. But Nehru and Gandhi were only concerned about the safety of the Muslims in India, and bluntly refused to accept their responsibility for the safety and well being of Hindus left in Pakistan.
