I found the following letter addressed to Justice Katju by Mr. Sumeet Mehta on Facebook. By reproducing the same here, I though, t it may provide platform to maturely understand some secular issues, Government and Media. It states thus:
I sent this email to Justice Markandey Katju and putting it in public domain for knowledge of everyone:
Respected Justice Katju:
I would like to understand from you whether Hindus are safe in India given the fact that as per Islamic laws and shariya India is Dar – Ul – Kufr and Dar – Ul – Harb. This I understand demands muslims to start a jehad and eliminate Kufrs (as Owaisi called for to kill kufrs in kufrastan).
We have seen this happen successfully in very recent past in kashmir valley where once fatwa was issued, innumerable kashmiri pandits had to hear "raaliv, gaaliv, chaaliv" and while the history of plight, exodus, and genocide of hindus is not widely reported and followed by "secular" media till date, Rahul Pandita's book and also various personal interactions of thousands of hindus with ill-fated pandits has made everyone aware of jehad and islamisation of India. The valley was cleaned of kufrs by muslims.
In this regards, I have few questions:
Are hindus safe in India?
Is Indian government's largesse of Rs 1 lakh crore in this year's union budget and lakhs and lakhs of crores in all previous union budgets, more like a Jiziya to muslims to pacify them by to concede that this is Dar – Ul – Islam and we Indians have accepted their supremacy and hence to practice our own faith we are paying a penalty / licence fee to muslims through government of India?
Is this largesse of lakhs of crores paid to muslims to seek peace so that they don't start killing hindus (which they are anyways doing in all terror attacks – and it would be worth noting that all terror attacks happen in hindu majority localities, and not in muslim localities)?
We have subverted our constitution by allowing muslims to have a separate civil code – which also allows polygamy and oppression of women (which is evident in Shah Bano Case) and we are scared of implementing uniform civil code. Now we are going a step forward in setting up separate fast track courts for muslims (just wondering what crime have hindus done that they have to suffer from slow justice) Is this because we seek to avoid muslims to formally start jehadi activities to make India Dar – Ul – Islam?
Muslim religious institutions get financial support from government, which means that tax payers money is given to muslim religious institutions. Along with that they also get full autonomy and government cant interfere and oversee the affairs of muslim religious institutions who are funded by tax payers. Also it is visible that benefits accrue only to a select section of Indian society and not everyone is benefited by this largesse out of tax payers money. Again this is in contrast to general rules – wherein if government is funding an institution, then everyone must be benefited from that. Also second contrast is that Indian government is selectively giving these benefits only to muslim and Christian institutions, while other minorities like sikh, jain, and Buddhist institutions don't get any such benefits, leave alone hindus. Why this discrimination? Only to ensure that we don't have to fight official and formal jehad, and hence succumb to appease muslims?
Beyond all these general largesse, we also get to know about ad hoc largesse in form of waiver of outstanding electricity bills (ref: jama masjid, delhi whose outstanding electricity dues are waived off by Sheila Dixit Govt). if in case any BJP govt make any allocations for temples, they are accused as "communal" and congress govt doing it for mosques is "secular". I would like to understand what is communal and what is secular?
When gruesome events like genocide of pandits in Kashmir valley, or shahi imam of jama masjid calling for muslims to stand up against Indian state and hindus or do any illegal activities to harm hindus, or very recently desecrating martyrs memorial in Azad Maidan, Mumbai, and Buddha and Mahavira statues in Lucknow, no muslims are arrested and tried. In case of Azad Maidan issue, muslims were "requested" to surrender after Ramzan, so that they can pray in Ramzan. The government was forced to do that only after huge outcry and anger of non-muslims. Why such discrimination? All in name of secularism or to just plead and beg for muslims to not start a jehad or issue a fatwa that India is Dar – Ul – Kufr and Dar – Ul – Harb?
Muslims have strongly opposed all hindu signs and representations - like singing Vande Mataram, or paying respect to Bharat Mata, or doing surya namaskar, as they claim it is unislamic and hence subverts basic norms of "secularism" but they have always asserted their islamic supremacy with their religious symbols getting primacy or even some extra constitutional benefits like Hajj subsidies. Is this a latent or disguised jehad to make india Dar - Ul - Islam?
To end, I would like to know your opinion on whether hindus are safe in India, or they need to convert to islam or become "seculars" furthering the cause of muslims (like what Raja Maan Singh of Jaipur did) or migrate?
I look forward for your opinion and insights.
