Exposing Hate India Brigade

The exposure of the Hate India Brigade has many inseparable perspectives; to understand the complexity of this nexus is a national responsibility and requires complete understanding of the underlying meaning of each organisation’s action. This nexus is an amalgamation of NGO’s, international powers, media and politicians that strive together to misguide the Indian national, each has their own agenda. The shock is that to propagate their agenda, a collusion has been formed with terrorists and anti-national forces, resulting in a threat to the safety of our citizens.

The most frightening aspect of this nexus is the illegal work of NGOs. When the CBI investigated registered NGOs, it was found that there were 31 lakh registered NGOs, double the number of registered schools in the country. Per 709 persons there is only one police personnel; but for 400 persons there is one NGO. To have more NGOs than police personnel is a shocking disparity.

An NGO in itself is not objectionable. What is objectionable is when it is driven by the ambition to break the country rather than serving the nation, when the ambition is to spur communal violence, when the ambition is to protect violent Naxals in the name of human rights.

Many NGOs accept money from foreign countries to fight against the implementation of Indian nuclear energy plants. In 2012, the UPA government cancelled the registration of three NGOs that attempted to hamper work on the Kudankulam nuclear plant. The accusation was that they were taking money from America to stage their protests.

When the National Investigation Agency probed the Kashmiri Hawala money, it was found that there were many NGOs involved. When the Narendra Modi government took proactive steps to stop illegal misconduct of NGOs, nationally and internationally, they responded with well-planned and orchestrated propaganda against the government, calling them fascists.

Another group, taken aback by the rise of Narendra Modi, are self-proclaimed non-religious persons who support Islamic hardliners and their agenda, the ‘Award wapsi gang’. In 2014, they felt that it would be difficult to stop Modi from becoming Prime Minister, but issued an appeal to the public, hoping to change the course of the election. In the name of liberalism, they support anti-national activities. They hug the anti-national nonentities from Jawaharlal Nehru University, and in the name of freedom of speech and anti-death penalty, give protection to Naxals and terrorists. Every day they issue statements supporting Hurriyat, and now applaud Karnataka for raising its own flag.

The issue of cow protection has taken the media by storm with false allegations by the nexus making the issue a daily national staple. Protection of cows is enshrined in Article 48 of the Directive Principles of the Constitution. It is testimony that the founders of our Constitution hoped that future governments would create a law to stop cow slaughter.

In Haryana, an example of this gang’s evil was seen in an episode in which one Junaid was killed over a fight for a railway seat. The Hate India Brigade spread rumors at times linking the scuffle to cow vigilantism and at times to eating beef. The Kerala government dramatically declared Rs. 10 Lakh compensation to the family of Junaid. But when the family of Junaid came forward to testify that the quarrel was over a seat and had nothing to do with any other issue, they all fell silent. Their job was only to throw dirt on the government in the hope that someday the defamation will stick.

The ugly face of communists comes forth when it’s seen that all disruptive, anti-national, and terrorist movements are supported by them. For them their ideology is first and the nation is later. They don’t believe in nationalism. They don’t think of India as one, they believe India is a confederation of nations. At times it is suspected that they work at the behest of foreign powers to promote their agenda. Independent India’s greatest tragedy is the hypocrisy of vandals.

Communists never respected the Independence Struggle; they tried to fail the ‘Quit India’ movement. Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose and Jai Prakash Narayan were mocked. They didn’t stop here and refused to accept independence and started an armed struggle against the nation. In 1962, they supported China; they supported the national emergency and press censorship in 1975.

During the ethnic cleansing of three lakh Kashmiri Pundits, the communists, Congress Party, and media gang were quiet; now they are giving publicity and support to stone pelters. It is well-known that stone-pelters are paid and deadly terrorists are protected. During the attack on the Amarnath yatra, their agenda was to create communal riots all over the nation, but the Modi government handled the situation with a firm hand.

Knowledge of the Malda and Dhulagarh incidents in West Bengal reached Delhi, but the Hate India Brigade and their collaborators in the media simply squashed (read censored) these issues. The Basirhat riots attracted attention when Arnab Goswami and Rahul Shivshankar did a post-mortem of the Bengal riots. After this, it was as if Pandora’s Box was opened. Take the evacuation of Kashmiri pundits or the atrocities of Hindu’s in Bengal, when Hindus die, nobody takes notice.

In the Noida Sector 78 Mahagun Society case, Bangladeshis attacked a gated society on the false accusation made by Zohra Bibi, who worked in flats in the society. A mob of 500 people collected and violently stormed into the gated society. This incident raised many questions, namely, instead of trying to find Zohra Bibi, why did people reach the society with sticks and stones?

Within one night, how did so many people find items to fight with, and who collected them together to fight at 6 a.m.? This incident is evidence of the fact that a greater force is working within the nation, a strategically aligned force, which comes together to brainwash the less-informed public.

We all need to wake up and work for the nation; this is only possible by scrutinizing each action with careful analysis.

Compassion is the key to Hinduism, does it still exist?

The Times has reported that the Holy Banyan tree is dying, the same tree under which Krshna ‘delivered his message of the Bhagwad Gita to Arjun’. With cemented paths, large bells, lights fixated all over, the problem has escalated with two claimants battling for the care of the tree while the tree is withering. The last remaining relic of the Mahabharata is dying; we have lost sight of what is important.

We pray to nature, to animals, to every living being. We pray to images that replicate holy deities in the form of shivling, in the form of a footprint. Yet we have turned the heart of our nation, Delhi, into the most polluted city of the world. Our metropolitans are growing fast, but to what end? Children have asthma, pm 1.0, 2.5 and 10 are polluting every pore of our natural being, blackening our lungs, shortening our life expectancy. During winters young and old alike leave the city and head for the mountains or the beaches, shutting down businesses, taking long vacations from their jobs, while breadwinners of the family send their spouse and children outside of the city to make sure they are safe.

As a religion that equates every living being to God, we have failed in respecting nature and our religion. In turn we are poisoning our family, our friends, and our neighbors. The cruelest act to mankind is pollution, we are living in a slow poison genocide. Each one of us is responsible for this act, and each one of us can make a difference.

India has a rich history when it comes to forest conservation. In 1730 AD Khejarli Village of Rajasthan, the King had ordered for the felling of Khejri trees, sacred to the Bishnois. Bishnois are an offshoot of Hinduism following 29 principles. Amrita Devi couldn’t bear to witness the destruction of her faith and the village’s sacred trees, so she hugged the trees and said “A chopped head is cheaper than a felled tree.” People from different villages joined her. The soldiers chopped slaughtered 363 Bishnois. As soon as the King received news of this he ordered the soldiers to stop the operation and designated the Bishnoi state as a protected area. This legislation still exists today. In memory of the deceased, a number of khejri trees are planted around the area.

This was the beginning of the Chipko movement, now nationally prevalent and widely acclaimed as an effective method of forest preservation.

The United Nations made June 5th World Environment Day in 1947, in 1950 Dr. K M Munshi created Van Mahotsav festival for forest conservation and planting trees. It is now a week-long festival, usually from the 1st of July to 7th July. We celebrate World Environment Day where for an hour we turn off the lights of our homes, but have forlorn Van Mahotsav festival which is more in-line with our ‘dharma’.

On World Environment Day 2017 ‘Mann ki Baat’, Prime Minister Modi talked about how traditional Hindu scriptures such as Gita, Shukracharya Niti, and Anushasan Parv of the Mahabharta highlight the values of forests. He planted a Kadam tree which has much religious value in Hindu scriptures, and also placed a traditional earthen-pot with it, a traditional method of conserving water, and ensuring it has regular water supply.

On Twitter Narendra Modi encouraged farmers to plant 5 trees in celebration of the birth of their daughter, as the farmer can reap monetary benefits from the plantation and use that for her marriage. A two pronged approach which saves the life of a girl child and doesn’t make her seem like a burden, and also helps the farmers family economically.

‘Each one plant one tree,’ a popular yet simple motto if followed can make a huge impact due to our 1.3 Billion population, the second largest population in the world. As at 2016 the tree cover of India was 23.81%. The Government of India has set a target of 33% cover by 2020. If united we can bring a change in the pollution levels, not only nationally but also globally thereby leaving a world safe for our future. If each one plants one tree, if each one ensures that each sapling lives its complete life, we can save the world. With Delhi’s population of 18.98 million people, if each person decides to plant at least one tree we can come closer to meeting the minimum requirement of 33% forest coverage in a metropolitan area.

The question arises, why only ‘each one plant ONE tree’, why not two? For each Hindu’s Antim-Sanskar we need at least 2 trees, we can return the favor to Mother Earth. If we could make the effort, find the motivation, respect our heritage and living beings of all nature then we can collectively make a difference in India which can impact the globe positively.
