On Thursday 8th June there occurred blasts in four Churches in remote areas of Andhra, Karnataka and Goa. Most of the people of the countrylinked it up with the current ongoing anti-Christian violence perpetuated by different wings of Sangh Parivar (SP) like Bajarang Dal, VHP etc. In accordance many a opposition parties blamed SP for the same. BJP leadership in a clever move to deflect the criticism to its parent organisation and affiliates put the blame on the ISI for these blasts. BJP vice -President could even find an undisclosed clear indication of "ISI involvement" in the incident. Not to be left behind VHP General Secretatry Mr. Giriraj Kishore asserted the "The army rulers in Pakistan are out to give Hindu Organisations a bad name " and so the blasts. Surprisingly this 'investigation' by the BJP and VHP worthies did not take more than a day before they made their findings public. However the names of ISI agents were not given, neither has been there an attempt to nab them despite the "epitome of Hindu politics" and the 'modern day iron man', Mr. L.K.Adavani occupying the highest seat of power in the home Ministry.
In the prelude to Babri demolition country had seen the mass mobilisation of Kar Sevaks by different Hindutva organisations. Some of them openly proclaimed that the mosque will be demolished and the debris will be thrown in river Sarayu. In a span of 5 1/2 hours they razed the mosque to the ground to unleash the attack on the journalists who had covered the event. Despite these facts being well known one BJP ideologue Mr. K.R. Malakani in an article in a popular newspaper went to say that the demolition was the handiwork of ISI. Slightly on a different track, short of naming the culprit organisation, the three top ministers of BJP led coalition in an extremely prompt an 'efficiet invetigation' into the roasting alive of Pastor Stains with his two sons by the Bajarang Dal activist Dara Singh, went on to proclaim that it is a part of international conspiracy to destabilise the BJP govt. This remarkably 'wise' finding could be arrived by these worthies in a single days investigation. While the 'iron man' Mr. Advani opened his protective umbrella to the sibling of his organisation, by saying that Bajarang Dal is not involved in this as HE knows there are no criminals in the organisation.
Parallels Across the Border:
It is not that only SP has to resort to such baseless blaming of the others. If we see in Pakistan where the Muslim communalism has been occupying the seat of power in more or less uninterrupted fashion, most of the serious events in Pakistan are blamed on our own RAW and other secret agencies. The Mohajir Quami Movement, which is struggling for the rights of those Muslims who migrated to Pakistan in the aftermath of Partition is branded as a product of RAW machinations. The seperation of Bangla Desh from Pakistan is also attributed only to the role of India in the occurrence of that phenomenon. While the whole resistance and the opposition of the Bangladeshis against the imposition of Urdu as the National language and the domination of West Pakistan on the then East Pakistan is totally put under the carpet. Even now the Pakistani rulers are as adept at blaming every negative event in Pakistan to Indian interference as the SP leaders are adept at seeing the ghost of ISI in the uncomfortable outcomes of their own politics.
The Pointing finger:
Lets look at the Indian scene to understand the basic mechanism of some these ghastly acts, for which the finger is pointed at ISI. It is not to say that ISI is not busy in the dirty game, neither to say that its goal is not to add to the disruption in the country to the best of its capability. But if we look the outcome of Communal politics, the ideology built around the politics of Hindutva, Hindu Rashtra, whose vehicle is the SP, it will become clear that right from the murder of Mahatma Gandhi to the anit-Muslim communal violence to the roasting alive of Pastor Stains to the blats in churches the connecting link between these is the 'hate ideology' propagated by SP.
Hate Ideology
As per this ideology Mahatma Gandhi appeased the Muslims because of which they got emboldened and broke this Hindu Rashtra taking away a large chunk of the Hindu territory. Muslim kings broke Hindu temples, Muslims are more loyal to Pakistan etc.The same ideology asserts that Christians are indulging in conversions by force and inducement armed with the money from West. Needless to say all this propaganda is false to the core. But SP has developed a sort of expertise in Gobbelsian methods and through its vast network of Shakhas (Branches) is able to spread these lies with a great amount of 'success'. This basic hatred manufacture is done in the shakha (RSS unit) baudhhiks (intellectual sessions). From here, by different conveyor belts which include sympathetic media, educational institutions and propaganda material spread by the massive reach of this organiostaion. This basic hate ideology passes through different 'conveyor belts' before getting transformed in to the mass hysterical reactions generating the violence which gets implemented through different 'guided' followers who need not be their official members.
Dumping with a difference:
The biggest achievement of SP lies in the insulation of the parent organisation from the pullers of triggers or the one's lighting the matchstick or the one's using the clubs. In the intense anti-minority atmosphere, especially as most of these go unpunished by the state, someone trained in 'hate ideology', a follower but not exactly enrolled in the registers of membership, which anyway are not kept properly, incites the feelings and the dastardly act follows. It is as true in case of Nathuram Godse, as in the casae of Dara Singh and many a perpetrators of small time anti- minority violence.
