secular trauma imposed on India by Islamism is a key to the future of world politics
You can listen to the recording of this column on his link Standing on the site of Light 101.
The importance of India in the future of the world can less and less obvious to anyone who scrutinizes so little changes. And we begin to imagine the need by the biggest boom this country has emerged between 1996 and 2004, when Atal Bihari Vajpayee and his Hindu nationalist party (BJP and Janata), influencing the central government, were able to clear largely the legacy of 50 years of socialist government monopoly of the Congress Party. This aspect
political, cultural and even religious fundamentally can not be retracted immediately, whatever the dominant secularism which distorts the vision of our state observers.
From such myopia is not unlike suspect the Vatican diplomacy. Both the Pope himself Cardinal Tauran as President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue have marked in October 2008 while their interest in dialogue with this ancient culture. "Christians and Hindus: Together in favor of non-violence": This message was sent to Hindus worldwide to mark the festival of Diwali. "As Hindus and Christians, especially in the current situation, let us be overwhelmed by love without reserve, with the conviction that nonviolence is the only way to build a global society more compassionate, more just and Careful. " For its part the Roman pontiff said "in my message during the recent celebration of Diwali, I wanted to reaffirm the need for Christians and Hindus work together in the light of common principles of nonviolence. "
Note that the attacks in Bombay in late November have inspired no such statements because they correspond to this festival of lights and freedom found last year celebrated on 28 October by our distant cousins.
few words about the ancient epic narrated as a myth by the Ramayana. A demon (Ravana) was abducted Sita wife of Lord Rama, required for an avatar of Vishnu but whose reign brought historic peace and happiness, a thousand years before the Trojan War. Rama, with several companions, was able to rescue the princess. They returned to the kingdom of Ayodhya, as night fell. As their loyal subjects they deposited oil lamps on the roadside. And this tradition is repeated each year during the new moon of November. On this occasion it also honors Ganesha and Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity. Vishnu the protector, has taken possession of Earth, Ocean and Heaven. All Hindu homes are then filled with oil lamps, leaving no place in the dark. This is the way the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, of truth over falsehood.
The pontifical council ignores the less this tradition that the stresses in this way:
"Non-violence is one of the most important teachings of the Hindu tradition. Mahatma Gandhi, Father of Indian Nation is respected and held in high regard by people of different generations around the world for his complete dedication to serving humanity. During its struggle for freedom, he realized that 'an eye for eye and the whole world blind. " Throughout his life, he developed, among others, the concept of Ahimsa (nonviolence). He remains a model of non-violence because he did not hesitate to set an example by sacrificing his life rather than take the path of violence.
Nonviolence is not merely a tactical maneuver, but the attitude of one who, in the words of Benedict XVI, is so convinced of God's love and power, he is not afraid to tackle evil with the weapons of love and truth.
But the wording of this noble certainty does not fit a certain Jesuit, Father German Christian Troll, which is present for one of the most influential Islamic scholars in the Catholic world.
Father Troll said he met in India a lot of Christian and Muslim leaders, bishops, priests, teachers and directors of seminaries, teachers and leaders of Islamic schools. And, to his great disappointment, person, or neither among Catholics in the Indian Muslim community, had done anything to publicize the letter of the 138 representatives of Islam who, after the Regensburg speech in 2006 and the subsequent unrest had proposed a dialogue with the Roman Church. And nobody taking the time to engage in any on-site meeting.
"All this is tragic," said Father Troll. And here is his conclusion:
"In India, Christians and Muslims are minorities: more reason for them to live in harmony. It is therefore of fundamental importance that the initiatives of high-level dialogue, involving a significant number of Christian and Muslim leaders, are known in layers of increasingly large communities of both religions. Beautiful Statements internationally raise expectations. But if they are not implemented, if we do not strive to make at least that the results will be frustration and ridicule. "
Let me remind the distant son of Ignatius of Loyola a number of reality on the trauma suffered by India on the occasion of his contact with Islam.
Here's how a man I keep the best memory, Alain Danielou (1), brother of Cardinal sums up this relationship in his History of India: "There was naturally interludes, as 'good' Caliphs, but the destructive fanaticism always said finally over. "
I return to the violence suffered by thousands of India, far more serious.
An estimate university estimates that the eleventh the sixteenth centuries, from AD 1000 to the year 1525, 80 million Hindus were killed by Muslim repression not to mention famines and other natural disasters caused by war.
In 1000 the Islamic conquest of Afghanistan was followed by the destruction of the entire Hindu population of this region. The name "Hindu Kush" still means the massacre of Hindus.
The Bahmani sultans Turks, who ruled the Deccan from 1347 to 1425, had set an annual quota of 100,000 Hindus.
In the year 1399, the Turco-Mongol Tamerlane would be put to death in cold blood in one day 100,000 Hindu prisoners when shooting in Delhi. The heads of the victims were piled in huge pyramids.
Afterwards, a number of Hindus embraced Islam to escape death.
Whatever the validity of the figures, we can say that the Muslim sources suggest the conviction of the legitimacy of such feats, and as the object of boasting for authors who go elsewhere for poets, scholars, sages.
But another even better explains how the Father Troll and his friends are wrong, and how heavily, in their desire to make a common front between minority Muslims and Christians, and about how their contradicts that of the Gospel, "Go and preach all nations."
Indian Nation is no exception: how to address it if it comes to terms with those who intend to destroy it and openly about the subject, and secondly prohibit any missionary activity among them?
Across the Indian subcontinent continues the persecution of Hindus even today, as she had kept the English era.
In 1825 the Kashmir Valley had 3 million Hindus. In the early twentieth century they had risen to 1 million. The 250,000 who remained still until the last few years have fled the land of their ancestors, because of the terrorist campaigns of Muslim separatists.
In Afghanistan, the Islamists, when they took power drove the 50,000 Hindus in the country yet.
Everywhere Hindu minorities are oppressed in Muslim countries in Asia, in both Bangladesh and Pakistan, where pogroms alternate with the destruction of temples. Taslima Nasreen's writes in his book "Shame".
But achieving the most incredible deals on collective memory. It is comparable to that which still prevails in Turkey.
But what underlines the Belgian historian Koenraad Elst, about denial of Muslim atrocities in India highlights the role of Indian Marxists in this denial. In this the "strategies" Father Troll and all leftist fringe of Catholicism within a well known registry.
The former leader of international communism and dared Manabendra Nath Roy set the tone when he said:
"Islam has fulfilled a mission in India and that of egalitarianism that he was well received by the scheduled castes. C That was a question of class struggle altogether justified between progressive forces (the Muslims) and the feudal forces (high-caste Hindus). "
Jawharlal Nehru said:
"Architecture fascinated Mahmud Ghazni and was very impressed by the city of Mathura, where there were thousands of buildings to the glory of God. Mahmud was not a religious man, he was a Muslim, but it ' was secondary, primarily because it was a brilliant soldier and a warrior. "
But, in fact architecture Ghazni has mostly razed thousands of temples, particularly those in the city of Mathura, regarded by Hindus as the birthplace of Krishna.
From Baku Congress, following Manabendra Nath Roy, a whole generation of Indians began in the wake of the Soviet Union.
And Nehru
to power with the Congress party will largely Soviet policy.
Alain Danielou wrote:
"Congress was attacking Hindus everywhere trying to ridicule them, greatly exaggerating the stories of untouchability, worship cows, etc.."
Within the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi was built as the myth of the wicked Brahmins and untouchables good, especially the excellent and delicious Mughal. Of national oppression is an attempt to class conflict. Muslims have thus "freed the scheduled castes by giving them access to Islam."
The redoubtable Romila Thapar goes further. In his History of India, published by Penguin for all the hippies of the world, she writes:
"The supposed intolerance of Aurangzeb is nothing other than a hostile legend based on a few scattered acts as the erection of a mosque on a temple in Varanasi. "
The number of such destruction is in the thousands.
The official chronicles of his court and the claim
"Aurangzeb ordered all provincial governors to destroy all the temples and all schools of the pagans and to dramatically end all pagan teachings and practices.
Hasan Ali Khan, governor of Jodhpur (Rajasthan), wrote to Aurangzeb that 172 temples were destroyed in his district ... His Majesty went the next day to Chittor and 63 temples were razed ... Abu Darab ordered to destroy the temples of idols Amber, informed the emperor that he had already shaved 66 of them in his district ...
Ahmed Khan had informed His Majesty that 2000 Hindus were executed because they continued their religious abominations. "
were decapitated Tegh Bahadur Sikh master because he protested against the forced conversions of Aurangzeb.
The brother of the Emperor, Dara Shikoh, was executed for being interested in Hindu religion.
At Aligarh, important university for the majority of Muslims with the consent of the English were designed several militant Islamic movement and the 1930s the idea of a separate state for Muslims who became Pakistan.
But also under the influence of such Mohamed Habib, from 1920 to Muslim historians, attempted to misrepresent the history of India by imposing a number of shots
1) chronicles and biographies praising the massacres Hindus, the enslavement of women and children, and destruction of their temples, "were mostly exaggerations of court poets.
<2) Les atrocités indiscutables devaient être imputées aux seuls Turcs, "sauvages venus des steppes".
3) The cause of the destruction of Hindu temples was the result of what they "were full of gold and silver and that naturally Muslim armies looted.
4) The conversion of Hindus to Islam due to the fact that "the population, itself, decided to choose the Hindu smriti against the Sharia because they were all oppressed by the Brahmins ..."
Quite different is the reality, as Gautier said in his book "A Different Perspective on India"
"The Muslim invaders were thoroughly documented the massacre of the Hindus because they were always confident they were doing their duty. Mahmud Ghazni
(997-1030) for example, was not a barbarian from the steppes, although he was Turkish, and was a patron of the arts and literature, who recited verses from the Koran every night after having killed his share of infidels and razed the temples of the pagans.
Tughlak Firuz Shah (1351-1388) mentioned above was also known for his piety: 'The day of the great Hindu festival, I went there myself and I not only ordered the execution priests, but also of all practitioners this abomination ... I destroyed their temples and built mosques in their place. "
Babur example, this monster who killed hundreds of thousands of Hindus and razed thousands of temples, is a gentle hero at the hands of the author
Babur in his memoirs admits frankly do not like India ... It prefer to isolate themselves in the gardens built there, with their geometric design and cross channels, which evoke the rivers of paradise. Sri Aurobindo
wrote in 1909:
"Any action that might raise an objection in a number of Muslims is now facing a possible ban ... on the pretext that it risks disrupt public order, and you begin to wonder if we will not come one day to ban worship in Hindu temples in this ground so valuable.
"The cruel history of the Muslim invasion of India, which was followed by a massive genocide and taking into slavery of millions of Hindus is not well known in the world, particularly in the West, where history of India is not considered very important. Some would prefer it did not exist at all or that the scale of atrocities was insignificant, or even the intentions of the Muslims were not converted, but only military conquest. Others argue that this episode in the past, we should remember to preserve harmony secularizing of India. "
Suhas Majumdar Indian writer in his book Jihad, the Islamic doctrine of permanent war also wrote:
" What you should understand is that even today ordinary Muslims always takes literally the message of the Koran, although it was made 1400 years ago in the words and customs of his time and n was not adapted to modern requirements. "
In Pakistan for instance, says Francois Gautier yet,
" The madrassas (Islamic schools) sponsored by Saudi Arabia spawned the Taliban movement which claims the application of Sharia law in its strictest form: the prohibition of women working, amputations, beheadings and above jihad against the infidel. "
The Great Calcutta killings in 1946, which preceded the partition , made the following public statement of Mohammed Usman, the mayor of Calcutta
"It was during this holy month of Ramadan that the war between Muslims and kafirs (infidels) took off. It was during this month as we entered Mecca victorious and have annihilated idolatry. By the will of Allah, the Muslim League (Indian) chose that month to begin jihad which should lead to the creation of Pakistan. "
" Go lightly armed, said the Koran Sura 9, prepare an ambush with your life and try to preserve the way of Allah. "
These arms are the heavy deformation of history and the number of ambushes there will be misinformation propagated by Western complacent.

Notes 1. About Alain Danielou here let me digress for a moment: in the past j had it done on a specific antenna, now captive and denatured with him about India and its exciting Shiva and Dionysus Jean-Claude Carriere on his magnificent Mahabharata, and on another occasion with the Ambassador of India in emissions that managers have been through the tapes. I therefore appeal to whoever possesses a copy of such records sound widely traded in their time good enough to communicate so as to make them downloadable free of charge on Light 101 because I do not count on justice administers the republic to recognize my right front ten or fifteen years, that is to say, before the tapes are permanently unusable. I rely on the strength of friendship.
