TERRORIZING THE TERRORIZED

‘Crusade against Terrorism’


When crusaders started their crusade against Muslims, they obliterated everything which they encountered on their way. They massacred women, children and old without any mercy. Christian crusaders were blinded by religious fanaticism. They laid the foundation stone of what is called in modern times is called, ‘Religious Fanaticism’ and which is strengthened by ‘terrorism’. But still no one talks about Christian crusaders today. When George. W. Bush announced his 'War on Terrorism" he called it a ‘Crusade’. What a dilemma. ‘Crusade against Terrorism’. In other words “Terrorism against Terrorism”. Let us not forget, Western bigots have been preparing the ground for this ‘Crusade’ since long. World Trade Center attack by Osama (no one though proved through a trial that it was he who attacked WTC but then he has already been punished for his unproven guilt) was a watershed event. Western media left no stone unturned to blame Muslims for the act. Fox news of United States of America pasted the caption ‘War on US’ over the TV screen for months altogether. They used to write war in green letters and US in blood red. This implied war on US was declared by green army of Muslims. Slowly and steadily they were successful to change the perception of their people about Muslims and message was clear. Muslims are not any ordinary people but are all terrorists. This was further emphasized by G.W. Bush by his slogan, "Crusade against Terrorism". For him ‘Crusade’ meant holy war and ‘Terrorism’ meant Muslims. However for us ‘Crusade’ meant Terrorism and ‘Terrorism’ meant Muslims. And we tasted that crusade. G. W. Bush managed to slaughter one million 'terrorists' read Muslims in Iraq and still counting. His crusade which started from Afghanistan is going on with venom still today. Thousands of Afghans and Pakistanis have lost their lives and still counting there as well. So, modern day Crusade has achieved far better results for them than the old times crusade. In modern day crusade they did not find any Salah u Din Ayubi to confront them.
But still question remains, How can they justify to their future generations that whatever they did was not terrorism? How can they prove that Muslims were all terrorists or all terrorist were Muslims? Let us leave that to their future generations to question and judge. Let us observe with objectivity and with facts provided by them only, how much role Muslims played in terrorizing them.

Muslims are Terrorists
"All Muslims are terrorists" was the accusation. When the hypocrites who made this statement realized no one in their right mind would believe that all 1.6 billion Muslims in the world could be terrorists, they reversed the statement to sound more objective and fair: Thus they modified it and claimed, “All Muslims may not be terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims.”
Average American will continue to watch the mainstream media day in, day out and see pictures of “Muslim terrorists” flashed across the screen or spoken about for hours on the radio. Here are some hard facts to make it clear that every perception is not a reality.

The Facts
According to the FBI database, there have been 318 terrorist incidents in the US from 1980-2005. That includes 209 bombings and 43 arsons. Out of those incidents, 42% were committed by Latino groups, 24% by Extreme Left Wing groups, 7% by Jewish Extremists, 6% by Muslim Extremists, and 5% by Communists.
A RAND Corporation [funded by the U.S. government] report titled “Would-be Warriors” reveals some very interesting facts:

  1. Not a single U.S. civilian has been killed by Muslim extremists since Sept 11, 2001.
  2. Only 3 out of 83 acts of terrorism between 9/11 and 2009 were done by Muslim extremists. Most were by animal rights and environmental activists.
  3. There was more terrorism in the 1970s than the 21st century. There were over 60 terrorist incidents per year on U.S. soil, most of them being bombings. That’s 15 – 20 times more terrorism than post 9/11.

Europol’s report titled “EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report” showed that 0.4% of terrorist attacks from 2006-2008 were committed by Muslim extremists. That means 99.6% of terrorist attacks were by non-Muslims, most of which were separatists and leftists.

U.S. Terrorist Organizations
If you were asked to name five major terrorist organizations in the US, how many could you name besides al-Qaeda? Most people couldn’t name more than one. So here are some to help you balance the distorted view that the media feeds you with:
Animal Liberation Front: Is known for sabotaging animal testing facilities, etc. The FBI explicitly said that ALF is the “leading domestic terrorist threat.”
Alpha 66 and Omega 7: Cuban exiles opposed to anyone who takes a moderate approach to Castro. They are responsible for many bombings.
Army of God: Anti-abortion and anti-gay. Known for bombing at least two abortion clinics, a lesbian nightclub, and the Summer Olympics in 1996. They believe that Anglo-Saxons are the only true children of God.
Aryan Nations: A white nationalist, neo-Nazi, and Christian Identity group. The RAND Corporation described it as the “first truly nationwide terrorist network.”
Black Liberation Army: They carried out a series of bombings, robberies, and prison breaks.
The Covenant, the Sword, and the Arm of the Lord: Another Christian Identity organization.
Earth Liberation Front: Eco-terrorist group. The FBI in March 2001 said that it is the number one domestic terrorist threat.
Jewish Defense League: Founded by Rabbi Meir Kahane, they executed at least 15 terrorist attacks in the U.S. [more than al-Qaeda] and are responsible for at least 60 bombings.
Ku Klux Klan: A white supremacist, anti-Communist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic group.
Militia Movement: An anti-government movement. One common tactic is to explode pipe bombs at government facilities. They have about 20,000-60,000 members in the U.S.
Phineas Priesthood: Another Christian Identity movement that is against interracial intercourse, homosexuality, abortion, and multiculturalism.
Symbionese Liberation Army: A far left organization.
United Freedom Front: A Marxist organization responsible for at least 20 bombings and 9 bank robberies.
The Weather Underground: A far left organization responsible for at least 45 bombings between 1970 – 1977.
Ejercito Popular Boricua [Boricua People’s Army]: They have been demanding independence of Puerto Rico from U.S. imperialism.
New World Liberation Front: A far-left organization responsible for at least 70 bombings in the Bay Area alone.

International Terrorist Organizations
Of course, terrorism is not only an American phenomenon, but exists worldwide. Here are some examples abroad:
Aum Shinrikyo: Japan. A new religious movement responsible for the 1995 Sarin Nerve Gas attacks in the Tokyo subway.
All Tripura Tiger Force: India. Their goal is to expel all immigrants of Tripura. 90% of members are Hindu and 10% are Christian.
Babbar Khalsa: India/Canada. A Sikh religious organization that blew up a 747 jet in 1985 killing 329 people [including 280 Canadian citizens].
Communist Party of India (Maoist): Prime Minister Singh said that they are “the single biggest security challenge ever faced by our country”. They have killed over a thousand people.
Provisional Irish Republican Army: Ireland. They have killed over 1800 people.
ETA (Basque Homeland and Freedom): Spain/France. They have killed almost a thousand people.
Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK): Turkey. A Socialist/Nationalist party demanding independence.
New Peoples Army: Philippines. A Communist organization.
National Liberation Front of Corsica: France. A separatist organization.
Justice Commandos Against Armenian Genocide: They have been trying to force Turkey to admit to the historical Armenian genocide. Responsible for at least 23 terrorist attacks.

Notable U.S. Terrorist Attacks
The following is a very brief list of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil to make it clear that American terrorism is as American as cherry pie.
1910: Bombing of the L.A. Times Building by James and John McNamara who wanted to unionize the paper.
1920: Wall Street bombing by followers of Luigi Galleani with 100 pounds of dynamite that killed 38 people and injured 400.
1927: Bath, Michigan Bombings by Andrew Kehoe who was angry over taxes. He set off three bombs killing 45 people [including 38 students].
1971: Bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building by the Weather Underground in protest against the U.S. invasion of Laos.
1972: Bombing of the Pentagon by the Weather Underground in retaliation for the U.S. bombing raid in Hanoi.
1975: Bombing of the Department of State Building by the Weather Underground in response to war escalation in Vietnam.
1976: Hijacking of Cubana Flight 455 by CIA-linked Cuban exiles who killed all 73 people on board.
1978-1995: Unabomber Attacks by Ted Kaczynski who sent letterbombs to academics and other influential people.
1995: Oklahoma City Bombing by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols who killed 168 people.
1996: Centennial Olympic Park Bombing by Eric Robert Rudolph for which President Clinton called “an evil act of terror”. This was the largest pipe bomb in U.S. history.
2001: Anthrax Attacks by Bruce Edwards Ivins.
2007: Virginia Tech Massacre by Seung-Hui Cho who killed 32 people. He likened himself to Jesus Christ and expressed his hatred of the rich.
2010: Austin IRS Attack by Andrew Joseph Stack who flew an airplane into the IRS building because he was mad at the government.
2011: Tucson Shooting of Gabrielle Giffords where Jared Lee Loughner shot nineteen people.
Image is Everything

It is obvious that media gives maximum coverage to ‘Muslim Terrorism’ and usually labels it so and in other cases little coverage is given and the nomenclature is usually confined to ‘terrorism’ only without any prefixes before the word terrorism.The only statistics that are missing is the amount of media coverage per terrorist incident or group. It shouldn’t surprise anyone now that Muslims usually receive the most coverage despite the fact that they are near the bottom of the list when it comes to terrorist activity.

Now that the facts are clear, do you think anyone would dare to rephrase the statement and end with “almost all terrorists are…” Latinos, leftists, environmentalists, Christians, Sikhs or Jews? I doubt it. This twisted logic is only applied for Muslims, not anyone else. No never. It will be considered a blashphemy and anti - semitism. But for Muslims no rules apply. Muslims are still the dreaded terrosits for them despite being slaughtered day in and day our in the name of 'Crusade against Terrorism'. Who wil turn the tables on them and call their criminal crusades, as acts of real terrorism. But then we Muslims do not posses Fox TV and CNN to do that job for us. We possess only collaborators in our ranks and puppets on thrones. Our media is an extension of their media. No one among us is ready to bust their myths. We have only been given a job of pleading not guilty and playing as victims which we actually are. But no one is ready to accept that. Hope our future generations will not take thing in thier stride. Hope they will confront them. Hope !

It's time to declare India a Terrorist State

The only country in the world, other than Israel, to have acquired land through conflict or intimidation after the end of World War 2 is India. Israel has the excuse at least that in some of their conflicts with the Arabs they pre-empted imminent aggression and thus were not the aggressor per se. In the South Asian sub-continent, India has openly coveted (and/or made designs to take possession thereof) before actually annexing their neighbour or their prime real estate. In every incident of aggression, care was taken to garb the nakedly expansionist moves under some camouflage or the other.

EXTERNAL TERRORISM

The first to fall into India's grip was Kashmir, the legal subterfuge used was the Maharaja's Letter of Accession. This was followed by military intervention to annex Hyderabad, Junagadh and Manawadar in 1948. In 1960 it was the turn of the Portuguese possessions of Goa, Daman and Diu in a farcical war. The smaller princely States of India were just taken over lock, stock and barrel at the appropriate time. As the world started to look askance at naked aggression, India turned increasingly to subterfuge. In 1968 they formed the Research and Analytical Wing (RAW) whose main purpose at that time was to organise covert operations in Bangladesh, in this they were actively supported by the Border Security Forces (BSF) whose Deputy Director General (DDG), in this case Brig Pande, was based at Calcutta with an alternate HQs in 91 BSF at Agartala for operational purposes. With the creation of RAW, India turned from naked aggression to sophistication in the pursuit of its ambitions. RAW became involved in covert operations in all the peripheral countries around India. While RAW's role in the creation of Bangladesh did not get much attention, its operatives were in constant contact with hard-core India sympathizers within Awami League (AL) such as Tajuddin, Nazrul Islam, etc. Through these surrogates RAW maintained pressure on Sheikh Mujibur Rehman whenever he started weakening in his anti-Pakistan stance. After 1971, RAW retained its interest in Bangladesh, raising a parallel military organisation loyal to AL (and India) known as the Rakhi Bahini headed by Brig Nuruzzaman. As a Captain of the Pakistan Army, Nuruzzaman had undergone trial for treason in the famous Agartala Conspiracy Case. Though they were better armed and organised than the Bangladesh Armed Forces, the Rakhi Bahini was easily disarmed and demobilised by the Bangladesh Army post-Mujib. RAW agents have since become a permanent factor for destabilisation in Bangladesh, having subverted the loyalties of a large segment of the Hindu population. After Sheikh Mujib was assassinated, they re-created the 1971 vintage Kader Bahini led by the infamous Kader Siddiqui who operated from Indian territory from 1975 to 1985 and constantly troubled the Zia Regime (and later the Ershad regime) with many instances of terrorism. Today India sustains the Chakma revolt against Bangladesh in the Chittagong Hill Tracts by supporting the Shanti Bahini which makes cross border raids from training and logistics camps in the Indian Tripura State at Amarpur, Sabroom and opposite Baghban-Tilla.


Westerners were captivated by the marriage of the American Ms Hope Cooke with the ruler of the Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim in the early 60s. Set in a fairytale Shangri-La atmosphere Sikkim became known as one of free world's remaining ancient monarchies. But trouble incited by RAW was brewing from 1973 onwards. RAW planted agents in Gangtok, Mangain, Namchi and Gyalshing for cultivating sympathisers who would fan disturbances against the reigning monarch and would then 'request' for Indian help against the 'despot'. Just in case the anti-monarchist ploy did not work, RAW was ready with operational data required for military intervention. On 20 April 1975, the once friendly and peaceful kingdom of Sikkim became a possession of India.

Bhuttan's Jigme Wangchuk of the adjacent Himalayan Kingdom took this lesson to heart and while he clearly pouts at regional official functions he does not strain too much at the leash and studiously toes the Indian line, realising that his situation is probably more untenable than his once-upon-a-time Sikkim Counterpart. Nominally, he remains, along with the Maldives, as showpiece independent nations and the only ones on India's periphery 'without' problems with India. Just in case that he should ever dream otherwise, the Kingdom is prone to inspired pro-India riots from time to time. This domino will fall eventually or may not depending upon whether the Indians want to keep the showpiece going.

Nepal is the only Hindu Kingdom in the world. King Bhirendhra ran afoul of India because of his independent stance on regional policies. Previously known as an annexe of India, Nepal opened out to the world in the late 70s and early 80s. RAW was mandated by the Indian Government to bring Nepal into line. The first set was that India used a pretext to halt all supplies of food, medicine, oil etc. from going to this land-locked country. In the meantime RAW agents fanned out among anti-monarchist elements and as the economic blockade took hold, riots broke out all over Nepal escalating into full fledged political confrontation between the monarchy and the electorate. Acts of terrorism, including the explosions of bombs, sabotage of installations, attacks on prominent personalities, etc. proliferated. Faced with the possibility of large-scale anarchy and even take-over by India on the Sri Lanka pattern, the King opted to become a constitutional monarch and a 'friendly' government came to power in Nepal. This was a blatant interference in the internal affairs of another nation, RAW was used as the terror weapon.

Burma has not escaped interference from India. Having a long border with India, Burma is bedevilled by independence movements that freely roam across international borders. Such cross border operations have meant that Burmese troops have been engaged on yet another front to secure the country's frontiers. There is concern in Bangladesh that RAW agents were behind the trouble in Arakan Province that has resulted in 250,000 Arakanese Muslim refugees crossing over to Bangladesh. Normally Burma and Bangladesh enjoy excellent relations but this refugee problem has become a sore point that has almost led to war between the two countries.

The paradise that once was Sri Lanka is a case of the full force of application of the so-called Indira Doctrine, that this whole region is an area of unrestricted Indian influence. The former Chief of RAW, Kao, was mandated by Indira Gandhi to repeat the Bangladesh story and bring the Sri Lankans into line. RAW was given a free hand to destabilise the island republic, a country so at peace with itself and its neighbours that it had a maximum of only two or three active military units (less than 5,000 men under arms). The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Ramachandra, gave his consent to RAW setting up Tamil rebel camps at Ganda and Gorakhpur. Tamils were trained to bring about an armed rebellion to carve a Tamil State out of the predominantly Sinhalese island. Of the many groups that RAW trained, the most deadly were the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) led by Prabhakaran, which murderously targeted the other fellow ethnic Tamil Groups in addition to bringing unrestrained terror to the Sinhalese majority in the island. The full face of terrorism was unleashed in the cities with car bombs, assassinations etc. killing and maiming thousands before the Sri Lankan Armed Forces could re-organise themselves and assert the rule of the law. With their LTTE allies ultimately besieged in the North and North East, the Indians gave the Sri Lankans an ultimatum to stop their offensive and virtually at the point of gun signed the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord in 1987. Indian forces started landing in Sri Lanka as the Indian Peace-Keeping Force (IPKF) to 'enforce' the peace even before the Accord was signed. This was Pax India-na at its most blatant. As often happens in a Client Patron relationship, the Tamil Tigers refused to fall into line with their Indian masters and the IPKF started to sustain heavy casualties from their former allies. The Indian Army blamed RAW for not providing accurate information about the former RAW proteges. The IPKF inadequacy in dealing with the LTTE became a debacle that forced the Indians to withdraw from Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan paradise that once was had now became Hell on Earth, the fighting between the now 3-4 division strength Sri Lanka Armed Forces (over 100,000 men under arms) and the Tamil Tigers goes bloodily on without quarter given or taken. As a revenge for having caused innumerable casualties and horrific damage, the Tamil tigers targeted the man who had mandated the IPKF to establish Pax-India-na in Sri Lanka, Rajiv Gandhi. In a classic Tamil Tiger operation, RAW trained operative assassinated Rajiv Gandhi, the blood cycle had come a complete circle. This is second time around that it had happened in the same family, the first being the gunning down of Rajiv's mother by Sikh Bodyguards in the wake of the storming of the Golden Temple at Amritsar and the killing of Bhindranewala and his close associates. Bhindranewala shot into fame from obscurity as a protege of late Sanjay Gandhi, Indira Gandhi's younger son, who mandated RAW to support his feud. As a sequel to Rajiv's assassination India closed down all camps and suspended the free movement of Tamils (now mostly supporter of LTTE) with India, one may well ask, if this is not an instance of an open display of export of State terrorism, what is? Unfortunately for India, the Tamils have plenty of sympathisers in Tamil Nadu and the problems persist, having come home to roost.

The Indian Ocean farce where 200 Tamil mercenaries from the Ealam Peoples Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF - another creation of RAW) were employed to stage a coup against Maldives President Mamoon Abdul Gayoom is a case in point. President Gayoom was prompted to ask for Indian help for rescuing his government. Anybody with scant knowledge of aircraft, ships and logistics would have worked out that the Indian forces were dispatched to the rescue much before the coup was even attempted. A grateful Gayoom has given Indian forces a major foothold deep in the Indian Ocean, a solid landbased aircraft carrier for dominating the oceanic area figuring in the designs of India hegemony.

Pakistan figures promptly as a major RAW target, with special emphasis on the separatist Sindhu Desh movement. A wing of the Indian Special Services Bureau (SSB) has established terrorist camps across the border from Sindh in Rajasthan in eight major locations, Ganganagar, Jaipur, Udhampur, Kishangarh, Bikaner, Barmer, Jaiselmer and Gandhinagar. Services of Hindus who had migrated to India during 1971 and whose relatives are still living in Sindh are coordinated through a RAW cell located at Jaipur called the Sindhu Desh Department. With the exit of the active elements of the Al-Zulfikar Organisation (AZO) from Afghanistan and Libya, AZO has been taken over lock, stock and barrel by RAW. The same style of paid gunmen and bomb explosions as was witnessed in Sri Lanka has been duplicated in Sindh. The cooperation between the KGB, Khad and RAW to destabilize Pakistan, particularly Sindh during the decade-old Afghan war, is well documented and known to western intelligence agencies.

RAW emerges as the only presently functioning instrument of widescale application of State terrorism. This is no rogue operation planned by some idealistic nuts running wild, this is a deliberate implementation of the policy of the Indian Government to annex and occupy neighbouring countries or to browbeat them into accepting Indian hegemony. That RAW takes the initiative to sow anarchy and disorder puts it in a murderous class of its own.

Pakistan's main claim to fame with respect to being judged guilty of State terrorism is Kashmir, there is widescale speculation that the US may declare Pakistan a terrorist State because of supposedly ISI-organised camps organise guerrillas to cross into Indian occupied Kashmir. The ISI learnt most of its expertise from close collaboration with the CIA during the 80s decade Afghan war when Afghan Mujahideen were trained in guerilla warfare in camps in the border region to liberate Afghanistan from Soviet yoke. Given the fact of Kashmir's disputed status and Pakistani emotions, the ISI could well be using that knowledge for operations in Kashmir but the insurrection within Kashmir is mostly indigenous, the people's will being spontaneous does not need orchestration. The ISI and other Pakistani covert agencies are also accused of providing help to Sikh militants demanding a separate homeland. Most of the Sikh militants are ex-Indian Army personnel who mutinied after the Golden Temple was desecrated. Support to them by Pakistan may be more moral than material in the circumstances. Kashmir is another matter, it is freedom struggle and the ISI need not organise camps since Kashmiris on both sides of the border are committed to freedom from Indian tutelage and thus would be crossing the border without official sanction. Even if the sanction is denied, the borders will remain porous, in the circumstances imposing a clamp down would be next to impossible.

INTERNAL TERRORISM

Many people wrongly believe that RAW is used by India only for the purposes of the State's external policies. RAW has another more vicious role, to support the security forces within India to cow down its own population.


Many people in the outside world are not aware of the Hindu class system, almost 53% of the population are of the lowest class, the Untouchables. With about 17% Muslims and 3-4% Christians of various denomination, only about 25-27% of the population is really enfranchised. Most of the government jobs go to this minority with a sprinkling drawn from the majority for purposes of window dressing. The only government employment really open to the majority population are the menial jobs, even in the Armed Forces Untouchables, Muslims and Christians are few and far between. Control of the government at all levels and of the Armed Forces thus gives the Hindu minority upper class dictatorial authority over the rest of the population. When VP Singh was PM he tried to overcome this inequity by enforcing a Quota system, riots broke out all over the country, mostly fanned by the civil administration. In Delhi most of the protestors were government servants, this was repeated during the Babri Masjid riots in December showing BJP's hold. To sustain their rule, the ruling classes use RAW as a weapon to stamp down dissent, spread disinformation, political character assassination, hit squads to commit murder, etc. The amazing thing is that they got away with it despite the fact that the maximum amount of movements for independence are raging within India.

To start with is the grey area of Kashmir which is legally not a part of India but is under Indian subjugation. To fight the freedom movement, the Indians have adopted a three track policy. First they have shored up the present Indian administration, particularly the law enforcement agencies to maintain civil order. Since the local police forces have been hopelessly compromised, the Indians moved in large number of units from the Border Security Forces (BSF) and the Central Reserve Police (CRPF). To augment their strength at key points, at least 2 more complete mountain divisions have been moved in, one from Eastern Command and the other from Southern Command. Both these formations were part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka. In addition, Brigade sized independent formations as well as special commando units have been posted to Kashmir. While the BSF and CRPF were known for their penchant to resort to atrocities against non-combatants particularly old men, women and children, the commando units were trained by Israelis to combat the urban guerillas on the counter-Intifida pattern. Most infamous among these special units are the so-called Black Cats (they wear black uniform). The prime modus operandi is to surround a locality and line up all the men held in that swoop. Hooded men, who are obviously either informants or guerillas who have been tortured and thus forced to cooperate, are then brought to identify possible dissidents. Some of those that are held simply disappear, in most cases their bodies turn up after a few days. There is no sanctuary, churches and/or mosques are entered at will, in many cases there has been gun-battles on the premises. A form of ethnic cleansing is in process in Kashmir, the country is being rid of Muslim Kashmiris. There have been as many as 40,000 documented deaths in the last 2/3 years, over double that have crossed over the LoC to become a fresh wave of refugees in Azad Kashmir.

Almost a similar modus operandi is followed in Khalistan (Indian Punjab). Operation Blue Star in 1984 aimed at getting the Sikh militants out of the Golden Temple at Amritsar. The Sikh leader Bhindranewala was a RAW creation, a discovery of the late Sanjay Gandhi who thought he could be built-up as antidote to the growing Sikh freedom movement. Unfortunately for India, while before Bhindranewala the Sikhs were for greater autonomy within India, after Blue Star the great majority now want an independent Khalistan. Like in Kashmir, the province is in a state of virtual internal siege and the guerilla attacks are matched by the State's law enforcement agencies in the context of terrorism. Like in Kashmir, draconian laws ensure that fundamental rights remain suspended.

Over the broad mass of Central India, extending to the South is the shadowy Naxalite movement. Originating in a village called Naxalbari in West Bengal in the late 60s, this is essentially a revolt of the downtrodden class against the injustice of the rich and ruling, particularly the landlord class and government functionaries. At the beginning the movement was not really terrorist-oriented but the reaction of the civil administration forced them to respond with vengeance, now it is all out war with the Naxalites beheading their targeted enemies. Naturally the Indian Government's response, both Federal and State, has been to fight fire with fire with only lip-service given to civil liberties.

In the South is the land of the Tamils. In the 60s and 70s there was a budding secessionist movement, however with Indian moves on Sri Lanka in support of the minority Tamils against the majority Sinhalese, this movement was stymied. During the 80s, RAW created many camps in Tamil Nadu for the Tamil guerilla movements. Most of the supplies to Tamil areas were ferried across the straits to Jaffna and other areas by RAW operatives. A time came when the Sri Lankan Tamils had virtually free run of the place. However, with the advent of the IPKF into Sri Lanka, the major Tamil group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE), led by Prabhaharan, revolted against Indian tutelage. RAW's proteges now became India's implacable enemies, the most bloody action was Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in typical LTTE style with the help of a girl from the LTTE suicide squad, she blew herself up along with the former PM of India. The Indian reaction against the Sri Lankan Tamils in India has been predictable and has created a backlash among the South Indian Tamil population.

Most of India's budding secessionist movements are too small to be well documented but the Indian response has been bloody and brutal. Some of the movements that are of significance are:-

a. Gorkhaland

The areas around Darjeeling, just south of Nepal, is inhabited by a large number of Gorkhas who are fighting for their own homeland. There is an uneasy peace at the moment because the Indians have promised autonomy.


b. Bodoland

Just west of Darjeeling lies Meghalaya where Bodo tribals are fighting for their independence. This freedom struggle started with bows and arrows, it is now a full fledged guerilla movement.

c. ULFA

United Liberation Front of Assam envisages an independent Assam as the local inhabitants feel they have been colonized by the Indians. As usual, the Indians have met terror with terror, razing entire villages to the ground.

d. Nagaland

The Nagas have been fighting for their independence since almost 1947. The British had promised them an independent homeland for their active support against the Japanese in World War 2. After the emergence of Bangladesh, the mainly Christian Nagas lost their main supply base for some time and they came to terms with the Federal authorities. However the promises made by the Indians were never fulfilled and as Bangladesh fell out with India, the Naga logistics improved and the guerilla movement goes on in full swing.

e. Mizoram

Like the Nagas, the Mizos are mainly Christians and their guerilla movement has followed the same route. Laldenga, their leader, had to come to terms after the emergence of Bangladesh. He was brought to Delhi for peace negotiations and then incarcerated when the talks failed in utter violation of the immunity given to him. Today the movement for an independent Mizoram goes on.

f. Manipuris

One of the greatest shocks of 'democratic' India that awaited tea planters of West Pakistani origin who moved into India while escaping from East Pakistan in 1971 (and were incarcerated in Indian Jails) was to find Manipuri children in many jails of Tripura State, particularly Agartala Jail. Under the Maintenance of India Security Act (MISA), a large number of Manipuri children of Manipuri influentials were kept as hostages for their good behaviour. For a time after Bangladesh became a separate country, there was relative peace in Manipur as the guerilla movement lost its supply sanctuaries. It is now a war-torn country with Indian forces being attacked by Manipur guerillas in areas stretching from Manipur south to the Burmese border.

CONCLUSION

In the face of overwhelming evidence of Indian sponsored State terrorism directed against (1) its neighbours and (2) its own population for years, the USA is not likely to discriminate against Pakistan on the basis of the evidence at hand and the nature of the international dispute with respect to Kashmir, though restraint may well have been advised by the US through diplomatic channels. One may well ask, what is any Pakistani government to do, turn the other cheek and act deaf, dumb and blind while Kashmiris are increasingly subject to atrocities? In Kashmir today, if death, rape and torture has become endemic, it is mostly at the initiative of Indian forces. To be fair while one may accept that we may have cast a stone or two, in the face of the Indian barrage of terrorism against all its neighbours, one will expect that justice will not be denied. If the world community has any even-handed non-discriminatory yardstick for labelling any nation a terrorist State, India outstrips everyone else by a mile!

"Slumdog Soldiers"

I have been pondering how best to characterize the Indian occupation forces here. And then it dawned on me that calling them "Slumdog Soldiers" would best convey what Kashmiris truly feel about them. It is no secret what Kashmiris call the Indian soldiers and whisper to each other every time we see these criminals on our streets. But for benefit of keeping this blog free of name-calling and obscene terms, "Slumdog Soldiers" seems an appropriate term because it accurately portrays the irony that the occupation is.

Most Indian soldiers join the army straight out of India's slums. The movie, Slumdog Millionaire, accurately portrayed the miserable lives of India's slum dwellers and one can only imagine what kind of professionalism to expect once you hand these slumdog soldiers a rifle and ask them to patrol the streets of Kashmir.

I have mentioned it before and I will repeat it again that Indians need to get out of their self-imposed mental barrier and see that they are wasting their precious little resources on occupying a neighboring state when they can be using the same resources to feed their starving millions and truly develop their country so they dont become the laughing stock of the world again with similar movies that will be made in the future.

India recently launched an Israeli made satellite to monitor the Kashmir border with Pakistan. This satellite cost no less than a few hundred million dollars of Indian tax-payer money. What is more important to the illiterate, miserable, and unfortunate Indian slum-dwellers? Their hopes of getting that night's meal or that their government is spending the meagre resources of their nation in useless spending on military technology sold to them by the world's most racist and hated country? If anyone had any doubts the most racist hated country in the world is of course Israel

How long can they sustain this false rhetoric of "ATOOT ANG" politics and demonizing Pakistan to distract their gullible populace from real day-to-day issues like those portrayed in the Slumdog movie? All they have to do is grant Kashmiris freedom, and there will be peace in South-Asia the very next day. Israel will not be getting rich off the poor slum-dweller's lunch money.

The spectre of death and state violence haunts Kashmiri civil society each day. Violence is anticipated, experienced, and intimate to lives. There are those that are its direct targets and others that are concomitantly affected. Violence permeates daily life, regulates bodies and conditions behaviour...

On April 29-30, 2010, the Indian Armed Forces executed Shahzad Ahmad, Riyaz Ahmad, and Mohammad Shafi in a fake encounter in Kupwara district, claiming them to be "infiltrating militants" from Pakistan.

Extrajudicial actions of the Indian Armed Forces in Indian-administered Kashmir have been accompanied by inflammatory discourses in April-May 2010, presenting insurgency, militancy, and terrorism as escalated threats to national borders and nationalized populations, charting collaborations between external and internal enemies (Muslims of Pakistan and Muslims of Indian-administered Kashmir), arguing for greater state control over mechanisms of "security" and "freedom."

Cross-Line of Control (LoC, between India and Pakistan) movements, infiltrations, and insurgency into Indian-administered Kashmir are real and significant issues. The Indian state exaggerates these realities in order to create national and international sanction to escalate militarization, by linking "foreign terror" to local Kashmiri civilians, in a context where large sections of civil society are discontent with Indian rule. Such claims propagate a more aggressive role for India within the Afghanistan-Pakistan-Kashmir region, expanding India's influence as an international force, and enabling the Indian state's administration of Kashmir to proceed with impunity. In April-May 2010 alone, Indian Armed Forces reportedly killed over 20 militants in different "encounters." These cases require transparent and independent investigations.

IPTK released BURIED EVIDENCE: Unknown, Unmarked, and Mass Graves in Indian-administered Kashmir in December 2009. Authored by Angana Chatterji, Parvez Imroz, et al., BURIED EVIDENCE documented 2,700 unknown, unmarked, and mass graves, containing 2,943+ bodies, across 55 villages in Bandipora, Baramulla, and Kupwara districts. The Government of Jammu and Kashmir and the Government of India have not undertaken investigations into the findings of BURIED EVIDENCEor acted on its recommendations. Such action may have generated constructive interventions into the continuing chain of extrajudicial executions by the Indian military and paramilitary.

In the absence of intervention into extrajudicial killings, violence continues. Shahzad Ahmad, Riyaz Ahmad, and Mohammad Shafi were lured, kidnapped, involuntarily disappeared, and murdered by members of the Indian Armed Forces and state-sponsored militia. They were persuaded to leave their homes in Nadihal village, Baramulla district, for the 4 Rajputana Rifles Unit camp in Kalaroos, Kupwara district, with the promise of paid employment moving arms and ammunition along the LoC.

The fake encounter that killed Ahmad, Ahmad, and Shafi was staged close to the time when the 4 Rajputana Rifles Unit at Kalaroos was marked for transfer out of Kashmir. These murders in Machil sector of Kupwara district, as other fake encounters, were also reportedly motivated to secure cash rewards and perhaps act as a shield for illegal trade in arms. Reportedly, the Armed Forces has been customarily offering cash rewards of between 50,000 Rupees and 200,000+ Rupees to police or armed forces personnel for the killing of a militant. Official discourse asserts that individual security forces personnel have committed crimes for reward, acting on their own initiative, against regulations, masking the reality that the policy of the Armed Forces mandates and rewards brutality.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah authorized a magisterial probe on May 27, 2010. The public do not have the right to participate freely in these inquiries, and until that is enabled, such inquiries do not support truth and justice in Kashmir, where a substantial section of the judiciary has been severely compromised through twenty years of militarized governance. The police charged Major Upendar, 4 Rajputana Rifles Unit at Kalaroos, along with three others, with criminal conspiracy and kidnapping. Police also lodged a murder case against Major Upendar and three others. This is the first instance in which a unit of the Indian Armed Forces has transferred charge over officers, even while Kashmir Police have chargesheeted other officers in various fake encounter cases in the past. Chief Minister Abdullah stated that: "This time the assurance of full cooperation has come from no less than the Defence Minister [A. K. Antony]" (Jaleel, 2010). In the Machil killings, police investigations, unlike in the numerous other instances across Kashmir, uncovered important information.

Why this exception? Is it the start of transparency and accountability, the beginning of the end of the twenty-year conflict? Or, are these strategic steps in a game calculated to isolate these events from the larger context of military rule and immunity with the intent to subdue sustained public outcry? If the former, then all responsible agencies and institutions must be transparently investigated, all recorded encounters must be examined for malpractice, all extrajudicial killings must be examined for any linkages to enforced disappearances; and all unnamed, unknown, and mass graves be investigated. If it is the latter, "business as usual" and the routine violence of everyday life can be expected to continue unabated.

The Senior Superintendent of Police of Kupwara district, Mohammad Yousuf, stated that, following the Kalaroos fake encounter, police were inquiring into others. "We can't say that every encounter that happened on the LoC is fake. But we are a bit concerned now" (Ehsan, 2010). Mass and intensified extrajudicial killings have been part of a sustained and widespread offensive by the military and paramilitary institutions of the Indian state against civilians of Jammu and Kashmir. The methodical and planned use of killing and violence in Indian-administered Kashmir constitutes crimes against humanity in the context of an ongoing conflict.

In contexts of non-international armed conflict as well as in areas under occupation and disputed areas, international human rights law explicitly states that states may apply lethal force only in situations where such use is imperative and necessary to contend with the amount of force being perpetrated. International humanitarian law urges the adoption of a law enforcement framework, and the mandate to make arrests whenever possible. The United Nations Human Rights Committee states that the right to life is protected by law. Even with respect to proportionality and the use of disproportionate force on persons perpetrating force, international human rights law argues that a state must respect the right to life. Fake encounter killings in Indian-administered Kashmir repeatedly break this agreement.

Genocides in Kashmir: Bring Indian Criminals to Justice!


A Sovereign Kashmir: Random Thoughts-144

-Dr. Abdul R
uff



India, like its strategic terror partners like Israel is confident about escaping punishment for the crimes it committed willingly in occupied and highly terrorized Jammu Kashmir.

Kashmiris are towards achieving their sovereignty!


World supports Kashmiris in their just struggle for sovereignty from an arrogant nuclear India. The valiant people of Jammu Kashmir are engaged in a just struggle for the restoration of their inalienable rights. Not only Libya and Turkey have expressed solidarity with oppressed Kashmiris, but even Iran has also done so. The support expressed by the Supreme leader of Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah S Khamenei for the “just cause of the Kashmiri people” is of deep value and the solidarity and support for freedom struggle in JK expressed by the Iranian nation and the leadership. Pakistan appreciated “the solidarity and support” expressed by Iran for the “just cause of Kashmiri people. India must be asked to apply clear mind to consider freedom and independence for Kashmiris.

India also changes it terror tactics to invoke fake encounters to trap pro-freedom Kashmir patriotic soldiers serving Kashmiri cause of sovereignty as fighters.But an innocent looking India, in stead of resolving the regional crisis and granting sovereignty, deliberately plays all sorts of gimmicks to confuse the world. Now even US president is visibly confused. There isn’t any credible reason to believe that Indian gimmicks against Kashmiris, including terror ones are fading. Indian paid lobbyists and agents are at work almost 24 hours to make terror India look “innocent” enough".


India terrorizes Kashmiris in India plus Jammu Kashmir. That Kashmiris in Indo-JK jails are brutally ill-treated after trapping them in fake encounters and false gimmicks is no breaking news now. But plight of Kashmiris is becoming tougher with passing days. The Supreme Court of India by its September 1 and November 15 orders had asked the Centre to "clearly state as to how many of the educational institutions in the country are under the occupation of security forces/para military forces". Making sure the Indian terror forces occupying Jammu Kashmir almost on permanent basis do not occupy educational and related places in this formerly independent nation, Omar government must take note of the Dec 13 notification of the Apex Court expressing its displeasure that governments did not respond to its order on the "serious" issue of ensuring that all schools and hostels of educational institutions should be kept away from the occupation of security forces.

New Delhi and its embassies around the world are engaged in smear campaign against Kashmiris projecting them as terrorists and asking USA to include them in the “terror list”, though both India and USA are part of GST rogues list. Despite all such Indian gimmicks to make the world hate Kashmiris, more and more countries have expressed solidarity with the freedom struggle in JK.


This is indeed the paid foreign shame on India. World wide, India has employed the Indians settled abroad and its embassies over years have set up pro-India lobbyists and media nuts to promote India interests, including anti-Muslim, anti-Kashmir propaganda.
In view of the fact that Indian terror capability cannot match the stones the defenseless Kashmiris use to defend themselves from the perpetual terror onslaughts and genocides of occupying Indians, only USA and UK and other world powers must step in to end the escalation of Indian state terrorism in Jammu Kashmir. Had the Kashmiris got the military capability, the shameless Indian invaders would have been stumped out long ago. It is sad commentary on the notorious UNSC maintains silence in place of extra vigilance on Indian terror operations inside Jammu Kashmir, killing exclusively Muslims. India is trying to woo China on Kashmir issue, but Beijing must counsel New Delhi on the urgency for surrendering sovereignty to Kashmiris and when JK is freed from Indian hegemony, should come forward to assist them to build a strong nation to exist without fear of Indian terror attacks.

Over years of occupation of Jammu Kashmir, India has created secret graveyards in heavily militarized former valley Kashmir, while there is no trace of hundreds of innocent Kashmiris who officially disappeared from their homes. And, what a humanity tragedy! India has applied salt to Kashmiriyat wound by entering the notorious UNSC to further pursue its illegal goals. Instead of declaring India a terrorist state several countries have fallen victims to India manipulative techniques and chose it to enter the notorious UNSC on the basis of its terror-genocides records in neighboring Jammu Kashmir. Are these nations that support Indian state terrorism (IST) also terror states? Are these nations that were used by India under the Commonwealth Gimmicks in Delhi had been roped in by New Delhi to support Indian hidden agendas under pressure from terror twins USA-UK?



India’s advantage is that the GST leaders are now the obvious natural strategic partners ganged up against Islamic world. Pursuing suspicious national interests at the cost of neighboring nations, India manages nasty habit of bribing foreign leaders, agents, and lobbyists to get all illegal and immoral deals done. This explains why no politician is punished in India because crime, bribery and corruption are a part of democracy at the high levels On the contrary, when some big guys are exposed by the media the regime and judiciary come to their rescue and shortly the tainted people are seen well placed in the regime and politics. In fact, judiciary cannot interfere in the regime’s illegal or immoral activities indoors or abroad. Media are denied permission to pursue the issues and are offered some other new theme to focus on.

Bluff plus mischief has become a core portion of international diplomacy today. For India, a prominent terrocracy in Asia posing as a western brand democracy, telling lies has been a favorite profitable hobby. The blatant Indian lies, including the claims that occupied Jammu Kashmir has been a part of India and India is a terror victim, have been sold all anti-Islamic nations for favors. Since USA also claims to be terror victim of so-called ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ -because one Osama terror attacked poor American soft targets- it had to eat the Indian victim syndrome stuff also as part of an anti-Islamic strategy to be employed to control all energy resources and reduce Muslim populations.

India diplomatic arsenals are well knit and extra expansive with Indian and foreign agents working and lobbying for Indian causes and against besieged Kashmiris. India generously makes extra payment illegally, especially to foreign agents and lobbyists to get endorsement for its illegal and immoral ambitions and operations. In the ongoing cricket joint drama called World Cup Indian strategists have caught foreign agents to praise Indian team and endorse Indian win in the WC. Persons from Pakistan and Australia and elsewhere are very cheaply available for claiming "favorites" of India. Indian mindset is crueler than this example suggests. It is atrocious to watch on TV where an American/UK professor standing with a chock piece in his hand and a funny hat in his head, scribbling on the blackboard some arithmetic to show only India can win the matches.

And the notorious UNSC, controlled by USA-UK terror twins, watching the terror operations and genocides in Kashmir, just keep pretending everything is normal in Kashmir occupied by UNSC terror India and it pretends to believe, on payment basis, in all sorts of Indian lies. After all, UNSC also does exactly what its actual bosses USA and UK dictate to it.

It is not that the fanatic UN and notorious UNSC are unaware of the actual position on India occupied Jammu Kashmir issue but unfortunately, they have never imposed any sanctions or terror attack via noflyzone, as they have deliberately done in Iraq and Libya. Obvious reason is USA-UK terror twins that control the UNSC/NATO do not see any profit from imposing sanctions or noflyzone over India, because Kashmir, unlike Iraq or Libya, has not possess any energy resources to trade with Kashmiris as the price for freedom. Though a couple of Kashmiri leaders try to invite the western attention by saying that Kashmir has plenty of natural and mineral resources the western terrocracies are not at all impressed, and Britishers now the region better than the leaders of the countries in the region. Only the "civilized" west can fool the world, not otherwise.

All these years India has shamelessly spread a crude lie on Jammu Kashmir and its people. The historic lie of India is being repeated by US leaders like parrots or even Indian puppets - not just mere Indian lobbyists. The blatant India lie - now made an international lie, like Osama or WMD or shortage of democracy, is that Jammu Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Are the Indian terror operations as silencing gimmicks fading in the face of change of course of freedom struggle by the brave Kashmiris, now opting for peaceful movement? Especially when Indian intelligence and strategists have, somehow by hook or crook, managed some success in sports now?
Are the Indian regime and its puppet in JK objecting to peaceful movement?

Maybe! Or, not at all!

The continued Indian brute occupation of Jammu Kashmir has been made possible by a split freedom movement, a pro-India puppet regime managing the routine terror operations in JK on Indian behalf and western GST terror trends. The freedom groups have not realized as yet that none of them individually is too great to claim sovereignty from an arrogant India.



All Indians responsible for the crimes committed against Kashmiris and against humanity must be brought to justice. That too at the earliest!

India cannot escape punishment just because it has managed to enter the notorious UNSC by slaughtering thousands of innocent Kashmiris and by effectively fooling the Asian nations, including the shaky, Islamless Arabs.

Fake democracies like USA and India have zero tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism". Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. Unfortunately, we have many hypocrites among Muslims. (abdulruff_jnu@yahoo.com/91-9961868309)
