1995 was 50 years after WW2. Imagine if Jews were being wholescale attacked in German in 1995. Well, 2021 is 50 years since Operation Searchlight in East Pakistan which is recognised for war crimes of genocide targeting Hindus. Today, it has resumed – in what is now of course called Bangladesh.
India rightly came to the rescue of the Muslim minority then. Why the silence now to save Hindus? You can watch Indira Gandhi’s fiery interview with the BBC who before India’s entry to stop the genocide tried to portray her as a war mongerer-why would she not speak to Pakistani President Yahya Khan the BBC asked?
She barely contained her anger. “What would you have me do? Stand by as women are raped and children murdered?”
“IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BENGALI HINDU GENOCIDE”
HON. SHEILA JACKSON LEE of Texas said in the house of representatives, this year, “I rise in sad remembrance of the 50th anniversary of the Bengali Hindu Genocide, and celebrate and honor the
lives of the more than two million Bengali Hindu persons who were
systematically killed by the Pakistani Army when it launched an
offensive into East Pakistan, present-day Bangladesh, thus beginning
the 10-month reign of terror known as ``Operation Searchlight.''
Over that time, approximately 2 to 3 million people were killed, over
200,000 women were raped in organized rape camps, and over 10 million
people were displaced, most finding refuge in India.
I offer my prayers and condolences to the victims and their families
who still feel the very real effects of this heinous crime against
humanity.”
These were war crimes and crimes against humanity. President Khan was never tried, neither were his Generals.
Hindus need a Simon Wiesenthal – a Nazi hunter. The Centre named after him continues to hunt Nazi war criminals. The war criminals of Operation Searchlight need to be hunted down and brought to trial.
But who stands for Hindus? Come on journalists – when we told you it’s not a Hindu Nationalist Government in India, you denied it – so why the heck isn’t the Hindu Nationalist Government doing what Indira Gandhi did? Because it isn’t Hindu Nationalist is why. Go back to journalism school and learn about bias.
They know there will only be vigils, candles, letters and petitions. For centuries they’ve tried to wipe us out, to eviscerate and eradicate us. They know who they are -the fundamentalists and extremists whose God worships death and only death – they are alive in the ISIS, in Taliban.
They will not see the light; they are blinded by darkness. It is not the point that Hindu lives are more precious – they certainly are more precious than any death-worshiping extremist terrorist, it is that these are named as crimes against humanity. Humanity.
That is a legal term and on the anniversary this month of the Nuremburg Trials to try Nazi war criminals, where those legal doctrines were created, they seem to apply not to Hindus.
Today’s Prime Minister of Pakistan speaks of righteous death. That is a signal and a whistle to embolden terrorists. He knows he has dogs on a leash for whom god is death beyond national boundaries. These terrorists hear his dog whistle when he speaks of righteous death.
This Khan is also not a Statemen. These are merchants of rape, of genocide, of murder. They see only brothers and sisters in those who agree with them. All others can be raped. They are Taliban-copycats. They are baby-sitters to ISIS.
It should be a crime to say “mine is the only way” because it always leads a group of idiots to kill and murder. Liberalism, pluralism, teaches us to say “go about your way, good luck”.
I do so hate theocracies – countries who have to relentlessly obsess with god in their constitutions. It’s a bloody clump of rock hurtling through space in one minute corner of one undescriptive of a billion solar systems in a forgettable galaxy among millions more in an infinite universe. You dimwit.
And you want to kill me, because as a Hindu I know that. My God (who is most definitely not yours) showed me the Universe. But you go about your way and good luck. Just stop killing mine. You are an embarrassment to all that is good and gracious in your fellow countrymen, all that is good and gracious in the real followers of peace. Maybe in their embarrassment they too remain silent about you.
Now Bangladesh is lost too, the way of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Lost in a madness of death-worshiping extremists.
The good people of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh deserve better.
