Modi’s
nightmare: a Muslim-majority India
AUGUST
22, 2019
About two years ago, I did some research on Indian population
growth, including Indian minorities. I concluded that there are at least 90
million missing Indian Muslims, according to the 2011 census. Either they have
not been registered or the census enumerators have registered them as Hindus.
My conclusion was that successive Indian governments were scared that the evil
Nazi Hindutva activists would pour out into the streets, killing every Muslim
in sight, after being told that Muslims are nowalready about twenty-five to
thirty percent of India’s population.
With Modi behaving like an Indian Hitler, I’m convinced that he
is having nightmares of waking up one fine morning and discovering that India
has turned into a Muslim majority country. This is the only explanation I have
for his recent actions of enslaving the people of the Indian-occupied Kashmir.
His virulent hatred for Muslims should be obvious to neutral observers. Note
that he has never expressed regret whenever his Hindutva friends have raped Muslim
women or lynched Muslim men on trumped up beef-eating charges.
The recent case of the killers of Pehlu Khan being acquitted
despite considerable video evidence identifying his Hindutva killers proves
that the Indian judiciary is no longer independent as far as minorities are
concerned. If it had been the other way around, if six Muslims had killed a
Hindu, the judges would have sentenced all six to death immediately.
Back to the missing Indian Muslims: how can anyone be sure that
Indian census data are reliable? Despite India’s superiority in information
technology, why does it take them almost forty-five days to conduct elections?
In most countries, including the US, election results are known within
twenty-four hours. Taking that as a bench mark, conducting India’s elections
and counting of votes should not take more than four or five days. The only
conclusion is that India’s demographic data is not documented properly.
Pakistan, on the other hand, is much better in this respect. Yes, the Indian
census data over all these years has been fudged to show that Muslims are an
insignificant minority in the country.
Modi himself is proving that his agenda is to
either convert all Indian Muslims to Hinduism, or kill or deport them if they
refuse. In Assam, a state with thirty-four percent of its people being Muslim,
a movement is underway to deport up to four million of them to the neighbouring
Bangladesh and Myanmar. Amit Shah, Modi’s right hand man, has repeatedly called
Assam’s Muslims “termites”. Muslims are being asked to prove that they were
born in India and they did not migrate from Bangladesh. Even though most of
them voted in previous elections, and some of them have even served in the
Indian army, yet they face the risk of deportation if they don’t have the
required documents.
Mind you, Hindus in Assam are not being
questioned or asked to prove whether they are Indian. In fact, the Modi
government’s stated policy is to welcome with open arms all Hindus from
Pakistan and Bangladesh who wish to settle in India. This policy of asking
Muslims to prove they are genuine Indians and not illegal migrants will soon be
extended to other Indian states like Kerala with high Muslim populations. Poor
Indian Muslims will have sleepless nights for many years fearing the midnight
knocks on their doors and being expelled from the country.
If more proof is needed, Modi’s speech recently
on the need to curb India’s population growth should be sufficient. When he
said that Indians should have small families, he didn’t mean Indian Hindus.
Since the Hindu population of India has already reached the replacement growth
rate of 2.1 percent, he really meant that Muslims should limit the number of
their children. Obviously, the high growth rate among Muslims is giving Modi
sleepless nights, as this is the first time he has mentioned the issue of
unchecked population growth in India.
In ancient days, whenever a nation was
conquered, the first thing the victorious army did was to try and kill the men
and rape the women of the defeated territory. Which is why the Haryana Chief
Minister Manohar Lal Khattar crowed after the abolition of Article 370: “Now we
can get girls from Kashmir.” He was of course saying what primitive soldiers
used to wish for before starting a war. Modi and his henchmen know that this is
how they can exterminate the Muslims of India: kill the men and take away their
women. And the only way to prevent them from doing so is for Indian Muslims and
other minorities to get united, and vote the BJP out in all future elections.
