The term 'Hindu terrorism' is as inappropriate and dangerous as 'Islamic terrorism'
The term Hindu terrorism is as inappropriate and dangerous as Islamic terrorism. The media that had spread the term Islamic terrorism has now coined this term. The term is not correct in the sense that our Hindu brethren are not even militants, leave alone being terrorists. Tolerance and peaceful co-existence has been their way. Therefore, in my view, the term Hindu terrorism is a grave injustice to the Hindus. Those who have coined this term are either very naive or tricksters of the highest degree.
Secondly, the idea that the faces of terrorism which had donned the mask of Hindutva were unknown and have just been exposed is not correct. These faces were known for a long time. It’s a different matter that due to some political compulsions they were beyond the reach of the law.
You can then ask me what should we call what we call Hindu terrorism. My answer is: it is not Hindu terrorism, it’s simply ‘Sangh terrorism’ which originated in 1925 and manifested itself first in 1927. Listen to what a big leader Dattopant Thengdiji says in his speech which has been published titled ‘Hindu mansikta’ (Hindu mentality):
“A Hindu-Muslim riot had broken out in Nagpur in 1927. The Hindus gave them such a thrashing that the Mussalmans could not stand up to their feet for years. It could be possible because the Sangh came into existence and a group came up. Thanks to the group the Muslims got the beating.......Everyone knew that the akhara set up by doctorji was instrumental in all this. So it should be said boldly and loudly. But Dr Hedgewarji says that the victory achieved by the Hindus in Nagpur was thanks to the courage of the Hindu society”
This was a long speech delivered in an RSS camp in Punjab in 1990. In this speech, the mentality and the modus operandi of the RSS is evident as is in the excerpt given above. The purpose is thrashing the Muslims and then instead of owning up to the sin, calling it the courage, bravery and might of the ‘whole Hindu samaj’; mobilising people by branding this mentality as nationalism and the behaviour as patriotism. – Syed Mansoor Agha
