- People in power all these years and yet did nothing for the Nation are responsible for India’s sorry state of affairs !
The scenes unfolding in Afghanistan yet again would put a smile on any radical Muslim’s face. A follower of Sharia, Taliban has yet again staged a terror coup in Afghanistan. After stationing its military forces in Afghanistan for 2 decades, the US announced their drawdown recently. US President Joe Biden said, “Continuing to station our troops in Afghanistan after 20 years wasn’t in our best interests; therefore, we took this decision.”
Will CAA be amended?
The whole world is paying close attention to the unfolding of the crisis in Afghanistan. Every nation is putting in efforts to ensure that its citizens return home safely. India, too, has taken measures in this direction by launching a special visa program to recall Indian citizens who had moved to Afghanistan for jobs and other reasons. In addition, attempts are also being made by India to give refuge to the minority Hindus and Sikhs stuck in Afghanistan. Last week, Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill had urged the government for the evacuation of Hindus and Sikhs from Afghanistan. After realising his ‘Congress mistake’, he later clarified that this demand should not be misconstrued as his support to the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). Essentially, the dire need for the implementation of CAA is felt ever so strongly in the context of fanatic rulers such as the Taliban. As a result, it won’t be surprising if a sensitive Indian feels that the Indian government should go beyond giving immediate refuge to 50 Hindus and 650 Sikhs from Afghanistan, and amend the CAA to grant fast track Indian citizenship by lowering the stay period in the country from the current mandatory duration of 6 years. We expect the Centre to definitely think in this direction.
A similar crisis had taken shape in the Middle East 6 years ago. Citing a threat from terrorist organisations such as Islamic State, Boko Haram, etc., several thousands of Muslims fled from countries such as Iraq, Syria (Asia), Libya, Sudan and other North African countries to take refuge in Europe. At the time, German Chancellor Angela Merkel had put pressure on all European countries to accept these refugees. However, now while reacting to the Afghanistan crisis, Merkel has said, “We cannot solve all such issues by accepting refugees from everywhere”, according to Euro News. According to news agency Reuters, 6 European countries, including Germany, have explicitly stated that they are not going to accept refugees from Afghanistan. The current situation is eerily similar to that in 2015-16 when not a single Muslim nation from over 50 Muslim nations had accepted refugees. America has called on Bangladesh to take in Afghani refugees, however, Bangladesh has declined the request. In this context, there is a strong possibility of a repeat of unsolicited advices pouring in, in favour of taking in refugees from Afghanistan, similar to the requests made a few years ago to take in Rohingyas from Myanmar. One wouldn’t be surprised to see the secular brigade and the ‘progressive’ self-proclaimed activists from India make such demands to further their political agenda and career.
Darul Islam’s conspiracy?
Amid the crisis, speculations are rife claiming this could well be an international conspiracy to stage a crisis and help spread radical Muslims in different countries. Several experts believe that the radical religious teachings of the fanatics are to be blamed for the crisis. The theory makes sense when one thinks that Muslim nations would not have otherwise displayed a strong stand to not help their brethren in trouble. Their religious teachings instruct on how to increase population in Darul Harab countries (where the rule of Islam does not exist), to establish Darul Islam (Islamic rule) in the region. This is why the Hindu region from Kandahar (Afghanistan), through Chittagong (Bangladesh) and AasetuHimachal (from the Himalayas to the Ramsetu i.e. the BharatKhand) witnessed division in the last 150 years. India was divided into several pieces to form Islamic nations such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Now, these same Afghanis will seek refuge in India citing a threat from the Taliban. A Talibani spokesperson has opposed the CAA and asked India to take in not only Afghani minorities but all the Afghani refugees and grant them citizenship. This gives a glimpse of the severity of the threat to India that lies ahead. On the other hand, the research conducted by America’s Pew Research Center in 2017 states that 99% of Afghanistan’s population supports Sharia law. This busts the farce theory that most Afghani citizens are fleeing the country to escape the stringent Sharia law. Islamic scholar and world-renowned author Tarek Fateh frequently uses the term, ‘Ghazwa-E-Hind’. Ghazwa-E-Hind is a concept to Islamize the entire Indian subcontinent. The current state of affairs in Afghanistan does well to support this theory. To prevent this from becoming a reality, please recognize the inevitability of the unity of Hindus for the establishment of Hindu Rashtra!
