"Manmohan Singh is neither a leader of the UPA nor a leader of the country”
Sushma Swaraj
Amidst a near-complete media blackout and distressing silence from statutory bodies like the National Human Rights Commission, a serious communal flare up has taken place in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, with more than 200 Hindu homes torched and looted in four villages — Naliakhali, Herobhanga, Gopalpur and Goladogra, in the Canning police station area, from the wee hours of February 19. Almost two dozen Hindu shops were fully damaged and looted in Joynagar police station area; many shopkeepers have fled and members of the besieged community have begun to send their womenfolk away.
Although triggered by a purely local incident, the looming Panchayat elections in the State seem to have given vested interests an opportunity for a show of strength. Competitive communalism is in the air, with the two major political formations fighting to capture the huge Muslim vote in the State.
By all accounts, the trouble began late in the night of February 18-19 when Maulvi Rohul Kuddus (resident of Ghutiyari Shariff, South 24 Parganas) and Abdul Wahab (resident of village Moujpur, Joynagar) were returning from Jaamtala Haat in Kultali after attending a religious congregation. Maulvi Kuddus was driving a motorcycle when the duo was attacked by unidentified culprits on the Naliakhali main road. Maulvi Rohul Kuddus was shot dead and his aide Abdul Wahab, injured.
The motive for the murder is unclear. Reports in a prominent newspaper however, claim that the Maulvi was carrying Rs 11.5 lakhs, which was taken away by the assailants. Other sources say that huge unaccounted funds are circulating in the region and are being used to buy unlicensed firearms and ammunition, under the patronage of political parties.
Bus driver Samir Sen, coming to Canning from the Golabari terminal, spotted the body at around 4:25 am on February 19. He stopped and found that the Maulvi was already dead. His motorcycle was lying on the side of the road. Sen reported the crime to the police at Canning, as did other bus drivers who came that way, but the police were tardy in arriving at the scene and picking up the body. The injured Abdul Wahab escaped and contacted other people.
As rumours spread, large numbers of Muslims began to descend upon the area in trucks. The headmaster of a local school reportedly incited the mob, and soon Hindu homes began to be attacked from the early hours of February 19. The violence quickly escalated with the police and administration initially at a loss. According to local reports, police officers Anup Samaddar and Anup Ghoash of the Canning police station were seriously injured and two police vehicles torched in the turmoil. The unrest has spread to Sandeshkhali area of North 24 Parganas.
Hindu Samhati leader Tapan Ghosh, who is monitoring the situation with volunteers, told a local television channel that after the Maulvi’s body was found, Naliakhali village, which was closest to the site of the crime, was attacked and looted, the village temple damaged, and five women molested. As the police party was initially outnumbered, the mob torched homes with impunity, pouring petrol and setting them ablaze in a three hour rampage. Naliakhali villagers claimed they had no knowledge about the murder and the reasons for the attack on them until the police arrived.
Neighbouring villages were also attacked, Hindus beaten and their shops destroyed. The mob set up roadblocks at several places such as Natunhat, Priyor More (Joynagar ps), Bhangankhali, Hospital More (Basanti ps).
As the violence escalated, the administration rushed battalions of Combat Force and Rapid Action Force to bring the situation under control. Police from Bidhannagar and Howrah were also deployed with water cannons. But the peace is still fragile as several dozen truckloads of people from various parts of Kolkata such as Park Circus, Rajabazar, Metiaburz and Garden Reach, are heading towards Canning subdivision.
The forthcoming Panchayat elections in the State seem to be the backdrop for both the murder and the violence. Both the CPM and the Trinamool Congress are determined to monopolise the Muslim vote. Muslims comprise nearly 30 per cent of the population of the State according to official statistics, though informed sources put the actual figure much higher on account of the ceaseless infiltration from Bangladesh.
According to the Census 2001, the district-wise population of Muslims in West Bengal is Murshidabad (63.67 per cent); Malda(49.72 per cent); North Dinajpur (47.36 per cent); Birbhum (35.08 per cent); South 24 Parganas (33.34 per cent); Nadia (25.41 per cent); Howrah(24.44 per cent); Cooch Behar (24.24 per cent); North 24 Parganas(24.22 per cent); South Dinajpur (24.01 per cent); Kolkata (20.27 per cent);Bardhaman (19.78 per cent); Hooghly (15.14 per cent); Midnapore(11.32 per cent); Jalpaiguri (10.78 per cent); Bankura (7.51 per cent); Purulia(7.12 per cent) and Darjeeling (5.31 per cent).
The infiltrators appear to be organising themselves and ganging up with local co-religionists to challenge the majority community and change the demography of some target districts.
Should Hindu families feel compelled to retreat from the area, an Assam-like situation could develop in Bengal as well, as illegal Bangladeshis align with native elements and to swamp the State with the benign connivance of political parties.

Not a single word of this on any newspaper online edition as of now-Times of India, Hindu, ndtv, indiatimes..none of them.
Shame on all these traitors. Just because it is hindus who are being subjected to violence and muslims perpetrating it!!- the time has indeed arrived to overturn the whole political order that has connived and still does, to suppress Hindus. Time and the angst of Hindus,will not forgive any of these silent perpetrators of crime.
It would be disgraceful if Hindus still do not see what a state-sponsored conspiracy is being hatched against us. Down with the Congress, down with the Gandhi family. Getting Narendra modi to power is not a favour being done on BJP. if India is not to be doomed, it is a necessity. if he is not brought to power, he has nothing to lose- an honest person never loses, it is we, as Indians, if we indeed deserve prosperity, that need to ANOINT him to power.
No point staying in India if congress comes to power in the next elections. I would be ashamed to call myself an Indian then and Indians would have gotten their just desserts if they vote congress back to power. It would become a grave-yard. Wake up fellow Indians, wake up!

What is your “Niti”? Why you have used a 0ld 2009 pic with this “Canning Riot” report? This picture relates to Islamists protesting against Statesman in Kolkata. 08-02-2009.
You can post current pictures from my site at http://hinduexistence.org in its specific link at http://wp.me/pCXJT-2Lq or many sites like Haindava Keralam, Hindu Samhati or Hindu Janjagruti Samiti.

After cleansing the Hindus in Kashmir,the Islamic theo fascism has mustered the courage to change the demographic profile of West Bengal.One is reminded of the negative role which the media played in 1990 when Hindus in Kashmir were being persecuted and ultimately made refugees in thier own country and the nation as the so called mainstream media never brought it to the notice of the nation.Thanks to the internet revolution at lest the genocide of Hindus is being brought to the notice.Really disgusting that how the original inhabitants of the Indian nation are being persecuted from Kashmir to Bengal.Nation has to wake up and face the challenge head on to uphold the Indian nationhood.

Our Hindu convert to islam who daily bow to saudi aberia 5 times a day should try to get a work visa and plan to live and work their for life . These hindu convert to islam should ever try to think of marring a saudi girl. Imagine being dead and want to get buried in saudi arebia. THese answers each convert should try to find out himself and herself and see how much saudis love them and want them. Converts are used by saudis and book is designed just to conquer in each nation , you poor , you uneducated and with criminal mind by their so called teachers mullahs on of you but head slave for saudis to work for them as remote control human bomb to destroy your own nation, birthplace and kill all other human being and animals and burn the are of your brothers, keep you convert busy in fighting so you remain poor for many generations.
Wake up Hindu and Hindu convert and try to get in your head discuss this point sauadi just want you all converts keeping fighting and die as poor without enjoying the real earthly gifts .While saudi all them self enjoying their life fullest .
Can any Hindu after reading this can teach or guide the convert what he is getting after fighting in his neighborhood.

As per Hindustan Times (http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Kolkata/South-24-Parganas-tense-calm/Article1-1015443.aspx), 3 lakh rupees announced as compensation to the family of the killed Maulvi while only 10000 rupees to each of the displaced families. The maulvi was looted and killed by unidentified assailants while the families were displaced by a communal backlash that followed.
First,since when did the state begin to compensate families of people who are killed in a robbery. There are several people who have been killed in robberies but I have never seen the state compensate their families. This is a clear violation of article 14 and article 15 of the constitution of India. Article 14 provides for equal protection of law which means all in similar circumstances be treated similarly. So if the dead maulvi’s family is paid compensation then so should families of several others who are killed in robberies. If the state fails to do so, it would imply discrimination on ground only of religion which is a violation of article 15. Moreover, this money is not West Bengal government’s patrimony which it can choose to squander as it pleases, its the taxpayer’s money.
Second, it is bewildering that while the victims are being paid a measely sum of 10000 rupees, those who are responsible for the perpetration of violence are being appeased by giving the cleric’s family 3 lakh rupees. Can there be a greater miscarriage of justice?
Third, more than the media I want to know what the Human Rights Organisations are doing. Do only minorities, Afzal Guru, separatists in Kashmir, rapists who are minors and child soldiers have human rights? It is ironical that those who indulge in the most inhuman activities are the only ones to have the luxury of human rights in this country.
Self-serving prevarication is the biggest disease of this country.

A strong Hindu political formation is needed in West Bengal. The BJP has failed miserably to revive the Hindu nationalist culture of Bengal. They have lost the cultural war to the pseudo-secular, pseudo-liberal pro-Bangladeshi pro-leftist dominant culture and as a consequence, they have lost all political battles. BJP leaders in WB are afraid to even utter the word “Hindutva”. Hindu cultural and social organizations like Ramakrishna Math & Mission are bent on preaching “Sarva-Dharma-Sambhava” (aka pseud-secularism) from their pulpits. Only Bharat Sevashram Sangha is a truly militant Hindu religious organization. Kudos to Mr. Upananda Brahmachari, Mr. Tapan Ghosh and other Hindu Samhati leaders. They are like a light of hope amidst the general darkness in Bengal. Bengali Hindus are so stupidly ignorant of their Hindu identity. They are like zombies brainwashed by a pseudo-secular culture. O Mother Goddess, where have all the men gone??

I don’t know Why you Hindus are so angry and complaining all the time. The world is a very fair place. And there is no place here for cowards. A cowardly neutered religion – Hinduism is making way for a more courageous and practical religion – Islam. At least in its current form that is an accurate representation of both. Remember what your great Mahatma Gandhi said openly.
“Hindus are Cowards and Muslims are Bullies”.
It is a good thing that cowards pay the price. This makes India a more fair country. More Islam is good for India. There is now too much cowardice here.

Hinduism is not a cowardly religion, Rajputs, Marathas prove that. Muslim goons that are causing havoc for innocent Hindus will be sorted out once a state government that isnt obsessed with winning minority votes comes into power. Islamic India would be what Pakistan is today, see how well that ‘practical’ Islamic country is working out? HA! Hindus are the core of India and need to look out for each other, as someone mentioned here, every religion seems to have a central body except Hindus we are too divided.

It is not cowardice but lack of the knowledge among the Hindus that whatever customs, traditions, sampradayas etc they may follow or belong to- when it comes to alien dogmas like islam or christianity if the do not take them on unitedly then they will be gobbled up one by one.
they have to understand that Islam, christianity and even Buddhism have powerful backings of various countries but Hindu Dharma has none.
Hindu Dharma has no central church or authority like islam or christianity.
So they require protection from the government
But the government sides with the bullies of islam and christianity since they vote as blocks and also have financial clout while the Hindus do not vote as a block.
The Hindus trusted Gandhi and Nehru blindly.
But they let down the Hindus very badly.
Now after losing territory to an alien dogma in pakistan and Bangladesh and after having been driven away from kashmir valley, wiped out in Nagaland , near to extinction in Meghalaya and Mizoram ,being at the receiving end in Assam and Bengal the Hindus, at least a small percentage of them have started realising the dangers awaiting them and are becoming aggressive.
This has to become a huge tide.
Wherever the Hindus are they have to be taught to defend their positions even if it means death ( like Rana Pratap) and not run away leaving their homes and hearth wcich will only embolden the marauders.
At the same time Hindus have to vote as Hindus and drive away the congress and such other parasitical parties
BJP with Narendramodi is the last hope

I endorse, wholeheartedly, the comments made by Shri R. Sridharan. The Hindu society has to organise itself and unitedly rise against the forces inimical to that. Unless we Hindus unite and fight for our cause, no one is going to help us to do that. We have done this in the past and that is why Islam could not conquer the Hindus totally in Bharath, like in countries such as Malaysia. Christianity has done so in the organize, where it was able to subjugate the Islamic forces. Before the Islam came and conquered in the Phillipines, that country was under the influence of the Hindus. While religious tolerance is to be appreciated, there is a limit beyond which, tolerance is not a quality that will have to be observed, when there are forces out there to destroy you. A line will have to be drawn somewhere.

Intellectual parents teach their child secularism. I have observed several young boys and girls ridicule Ramayan, Mahabharata, Hindu Dev Devi etc. How can we expect from this generation revival of Hinduism. As per Dr. Athavale of Sanatan Sanstha, Muslims get religious education from Madarasha, Christians from Church and Hindus from nowhere. Polarisation of vote bank is must. But what to expect from BJP? Even their Govt did not support Hindus in Bhojshala issue, one man critically injured by beating of police. WHAT IS THE WAY OUT?
