Nailing Subterfuge in the Age of Interent

It started with replies to my comment that I made in a post by Sriram on Bangalore's space problem. I had mentioned that the way communal forces are gaining ground in Bangalore and rest of Karnataka, the army surely would have a hard time on Bangalore's congested roads during an emergency like riots that occurred recently. I also mentioned that it would take two to tango for communal riots to occur. "Apollo" and "Reason" disagreed and Apollo gave me this reply:

Apollo's comment: The media was loathe to admit that and tried to cover for their comrades by fabricating fictitious incidents about two communities clashing. The only two participants in the violence where the mobs bussed in for the rally and the Police trying to bring the situation under control. unfortunately you seemed to have taken the pseudo-secular media's propoganda line as cardinal truth.

Now, knowing how violence is an integral part of the growth strategy of the angelic Sangh Parivar, this just didn’t make sense. As I can't read Kannada, I had to go by what the Hindu-hating pseudo-secular venom spewing English media reported. This is what most of them reported:

Muslims protesting against the execution of Iraq's toppled president clashed with police on Friday, ransacking shops owned by Hindus and burning at least 15 cars. Protesters at a rally yesterday of the Hindu nationalist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteer Corps) then attacked shops owned by minority Muslims and stoned vehicles, forcing police to fire on rampaging crowds.[The Age]

Now that was good old Hindu-hating pseudo-secular venom spewing English media type of reporting on the angelic Sangh Parivar. But as the above news is from the Hindu-hating pseudo-secular venom spewing English media it is propaganda and not to be trusted. So I did a bit of googling for just five minutes and what I found will not be music to someone’s ears.


Firstly lets us hear from someone near ground zero.

On friday a peaceful Muslim protest against the killing of Saddam Hussein turn into a violent riot. They were burning cars, distroying (sic) shops and throwing stones on people. During the madness the Muslims also distroyed (sic) some Hindu property and holy places. I live in Muslim area in Bangalore, but our neighbourhood was peaceful until Sunday. On Sunday the Hindu fundamentalist party organised a protest against the Muslim protests of Friday. The protest was mainly taking place in our neighbourhood, and it became soon violent. More than 60 people were injured, over a dozen vehicles were torched, several two-wheelers and hundreds of shops damaged, nearly 30 houses looted, five chicken shops and 15 houses burnt, and places of worship stoned. There were young men hitting people with swords and knifes.[Soja Valjus]

Now can we trust that? Oh no we can't because that blogger is a foreigner living with Muslims and working in a Muslim school in Bangalore. She certainly has concocted all that to discredit the angels from the Sangh Parivar.


Now let us see what a Hindu had to say:

Mr. Santosh Kumar P’s report: My friend's version of what happened in Bangalore over the past 4 days. I was not there to witness it and he was physically present to tell me what happened. And this is what he had to say - Firstly the Muslims took a procession, condemning Sadam Hussein's death, a little too late though. On the way they pelted stones on a temple on "Seppings Road". They broke the fiber glass which was used to cover the goddess' idol. In the meantime, a "Virat Hindu Mahasabha" was scheduled 2 days later. So there were banners and other posters which were also brought down along with pelting stones on temples. So there was curfew on that day.Next on the day of "Virat Hindu Mahasabha", there was a rally organized. The procession as such was peaceful for sometime and then hell broke lose. They systematically brought down anything Muslim in the entire cantonment area. After that Section 144 was called and the streets were filled with police and CRPF. But this happened when all the damage had already happened. It more looked like it was well planned. Like the first scene from Nayak, where the politician lets everything to happen as he wants his votes.[ibnlive.com]

Now can we trust this version? Or as it is not an eyewitness account it must be another concocted story to discredit the angels a.k.a the Sanghis.


Let see if anyone else can corroborate the above statement. Here is one Mr. Satish agreeing with Mr. Santosh Kumar P’s report.

“Yes, I did heard (sic) the same version from my journalists' friends. The politics in Karnataka has become ugly”.[ibnlive.com]

I think the above flagged blogpost and reports are more than sufficient to refute the propaganda that the Sanghis had no hand in the Bangalore violence. In the age of the Internet truth will prevail ultimately.


I am really dismayed by the way educated middle class Indians are falling hook, line and sinker to communal crap. Why are they blind to see the danger to our secular fabric from fascist, jihadi organisations like Sangh Parivar, SIMI, ISS, etc? As India is a country with extreme diversity, only a pluralistic and secular society can safeguard the unity of our motherland.
