Don't behave as HinduReader comment on item: In 1796, U.S. Vowed Friendliness With Islam Submitted by Ravi Ranjan Singh Bharat Panthi (India), Mar 11, 2011 at 03:05 Don't behave as Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist (Panths of Bharay), or Christian, Jew or Atheist; act, together as humans against Barbarians. A Call to Joint War on Terror and Absurdity : Jews Christians, Buddhist, Hindu/Sikhs & Atheists join your forces and resources to eradicate a Chronic Disease, treat the patients and keep them under observation until they are cured and are normal human beings. The West must realize rhat JIHAD IS A PERSISTENT WAR against both the West and the East. It is as much against East, if not more so. Unfortunately, Jihad got attention in the West only after, the heat was unbearable for it. On the other hand, The East, especially Bharat (that is India), bore the brunt of the attack for centuries. Westerners, please understand clearly that Jihad is not only against the West, it is as much against the East, specifically against all humanity and now the human race has to fight it out, JOINTLY. You need to know : How Jihadis overran India ! How and why Sikhism was formed ! Why & How were Sikhs tortured to death for not accepting Islam ! Why Jihadis still consider Sikhs as enemy No.1 and a Potential Death Threat ! To stop Jihad, the West should do what Sikhs did Centuries back, and remember the time Sikhs were outnumbered, out of power, had no nation, were on the run, individual properties were confiscated and having a Price and a Prize on their Heads. And how a handful of Sikhs overthrew the Mighty Moghals, chased Jihadis right up to their burrow in Afghanistan, took over Kabul, Kandahar, Jalalabad, made them sign a "document of repentance and apology" for their and their forefather's deeds. They made Afghans wear Salwar Kamiz (the dress of women who were seen as lowly creatures and slaves of Jihadis) . This was against their beliefs and considered as humiliation to great warriors. This was because Pathan mercenaries tried to escape disguised as women by putting on the Burqua. The Sikh commander-in-chief : Hari Singh Nalwa's order to his men was : 'no rape, no molestation, no harm to children'. Afghans had to accept this humiliation and, as it turned out, later it became part of their life, and now it is their 'National Dress'. Arabs still taunt Afghans as homos and Kafir regarding the Salwar issue. What were their military and other strategies and strengths? What can we learn from Sikh history? How did the killing of Islamic Rulers impact on India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, so that a new religion/Panth came into being ? India (Bharat) was tragically partitioned nearly six decades back(1947). The great tragedy is that it was not partitioned as "Muslim India" and " Hindu India" or " Muslim India" and "Non-Muslim India" but as "Muslim India" ( now Pakistan ) and "Secular India". In other words Muslims got a Muslim Monopoly ( Darul-Islam Country) in Pakistan as well as a share in Bharat (India) where they are equal partners with Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists who got one country to be shared amongst themselves and Muslims. . It was a victory for Jihad, but was projected as a win-win situation by Gandhi and his sponsors and former Colonial Masters the British. Busy in celebrating or reconciling WW 2, the West did not realize the Jihad that had taken Place. This Independence has resulted in a cost of millions of lives, transfer of 10s of millions of citizens on the basis of religion ( very obviously favouring Jihadis) and the seeds of another Jihad/Partition in Secular India but hidden in the garb of Liberal Hindu culture/Secularism.. It was a Win-Win Situation in fact for Jihadis ( the new Rulers of Pakistan ) and for their Partners in the establishment of Secular India. Jihadis got a full-fledged Nation State (Pakistan) plus another Nation State called India in which they became Equal Partners. India's new and incompetent leaders also felt themselves winners because they got rid of their competitors in power, especially Jinnah who could outsmart Indian Leaders. He was ringleader of these incompetent, imposed and bogus leaders. He wanted himself to be seen as the apostle of Love and he succeeded in it. He fooled the world that time and the world is still fooling itself by seeing that agent, powerbroker, Jihad-Sympathizer and veiled Jihadi as a SAINT ! He was probably also hoping for a Nobel Peace Prize. His followers who are still in absolute power in India, are still trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize for him posthumously. As expected, in six decades the population of Non-Muslims that was more than 20% in Pakistan has diminished to less than 3%. The reason is Jihad, working to convince the gullible, give concessions and indulgence to collaborators, terrorizing the sensitive, forcing themselves upon challengers and killing the defiant.The population of Bangladesh ( a State which later separated from Pakistan) had more than 35% Hindu Population now has less than 7% Hindus. Whereas the Muslim Population of Bharat (India) that was 10% after Partition, is now anything between 15 to 25%. This Game of Demography is another struggle lost by Bharat (India) and followers of Indigenous Dharam/Panths (Religions) and non-Jihadi foreign-originated Religions (of course now these religions are as much part of India as Indigenous Religions/Panths) Furthermore, Zoroastrianism is condemned in its country of origin, Iran , but is respected in Bharat. This religious tolerance is exploited by Jihadis. The slaughter on Bharat (India) started much before that on the West. Right from 714 AD. alhough 'Test Fire Skirmish' took place decades before any major onslaught. How Bharat survived and still keeps going strongly is a study case for the West. The struggle of the Hindus to resist the Jihadi aggression into India was spread over a period of 600 years from 715 AD. up to 1328 AD. This contrasts with the swift Muslim victories in Persia (Iran) over the Zoroastrian Sassanians and in Mesopotamia, Egypt and North Africa over the Romans (Byzantines). The Muslims could not subjugate India with ease. And even after subjugating different parts of the country, they were never able to rule it entirely. The next 400 years from 1328 up to 1720 was marked by a valiant and ceaseless struggle for independence by Hindus to deliver India from Muslim tyranny. The hardest blow to the Jihadis was when their power was at a peak - when they were a superpower and believed to be invincible. Rajputs and Gujjars opposed them first as they were attacked first. Later, Jats opposed them. Tribals and almost every community in India opposed them . But the role of Sikhs is a special study case and a source of inspiration. As they did not just fight Jihadis for themselves and by themselves, but they were especially created, to end the tyrant. Sikhism started with Guru Nanak. He opposed the mighty aggressor Babur single-handedly. He called him Jabbar ( meaning tyrant and cruel) right to his face. Later Guru Arjun Dev was tortured to death for not accepting Islam. The story of the Last Sikh Guru Govind Singh begins. Aurangzeb the Emperor was a most intolerant Sunni Jihadi. To him Sufis and Shias were also infidels. Intoxicated by his power, he was killing Hindus on refusal to convert to Islam. Kashmir being the centre of learning and Land of the Learned (Brahmans), became his special area of interest as he believed converting intellectuals is more useful and easier. Disappointed, helpless Brahmins of Kashmir met Guru Teg Bhadur father of Last Guru with a hope. After discussions with them Guru Teg Bhadur sent a message to Aurangzeb that "all Hindus especially Kashmir Brahmins will embrace Islam willingly, provided you convince me and convert me". This was a heartening development for Aurangzeb. By just converting one man he would get Paradise with 72 Virgins. Guru visited Delhi; he was made to converse with Quazi. Kazi said:" Idol worshiping and ringing of bells to please God is a sin. Muslims don't do it, and we must finish these idol worshipers." Guru said:" I don't worship Idols nor believe in bells and I am against this ritual." Kazi asked :" Why are you siding with them, if its so? "Guru said:" I don't have the right to kill someone who does not believe in what I believe. I am for freedom first." Not being able to convince Guru, his companions were brutally tortured before him to terrorize him. But he did not budge an inch. Finally Guru Teg Bhadur was also put to Death. This was the turning point in the history. After beheading him, Kazi announced: " In this land of Kafirs anyone who calls himself a Hindu, may come forward and pick your Kafir Guru's head. There was a crowd of thousands and most of them were Hindus. But no one dared to come forward. That was declared the end of Hinduism. However, there was a dust storm and, taking advantage of it, one man cleverly managed to smuggle out the head. He took this head straight to Punjab after traveling for nearly three days. He narrated the whole story to Guru Teg Bhadur's son and the next and last Sikh Guru. None dared to affirm himself Hindu though there were thousands of them." If Hindus can not dare to say publicly that they are Hindus, that really means Hinduism has now ceased to exist." Private, in-house rituals done secretly are not going to last long. One must have the courage to affirm his or her faith openly otherwise let's disown our respective faiths. Timid should be turned into Soldier. So Guru Govind Singh gave Sikhs a sign, the bearing of which meant he can not shy away from the fact that he is a follower of his faith. And that sign is his hair. A turncoat can not be a Sikh. If you are a Sikh you are a thorough Sikh, Sikh inside and Sikh outside. No room for escape. Your enemy knows you, be ready to face it; otherwise you are not a Sikh and you can't be. That is it ! This boldness and direct challenge is the only answer to Jihad, to radicals, to oppressors, to mad lunatics. No double-mindedness, I am what I am, I am here to save humanity, old or young, sturdy or fragile but I am bold and strong; I am a Sikh. Sikh Slogans and challenging chants are 'Chardikala' meaning 'in high spirits'. Sikhs chant it even when injured or dying or even in captivity. 'Sat Sri Akal' meaning Truth shall prevail. 'Raj Karega Khalsa, aaki rahe na koy' The Pure shall rule (not oppressors with worldly power) and there is no impediment in that. Right now the whole Human race needs same firmness and zero tolerance against Jihadis. Guru TegBhadur did not die for his faith; he was not an Idol worshiper: he died for others faith and his principal which is: " not to oppress and not to be oppressed ". Know Sikhs, Support Sikhs, adopt their strategies. Many opportunist Hindus also sided with Jihadis against Sikhs as many opportunist Westerners are now supporting Jihadis. The Jihadi Propaganda was so strong that at one time even Hindus started feeling that Sikhs were too inhuman to Jihadis, without realizing Human Rights for Right Humans only. Hindus started feeling Sikhs were no longer their well-wishers and some Sikhs started distancing themselves from their Hindu brothers. But in fact the bond between the two communities is so strong that nothing can separate them. So Sikhs did not fight Jihadis, just for themselves but for the Human Race. Sikhs realized the time bomb has not to be just neutralized, but diffused and dismantled and destroyed. Sikhs also did not fight just by themselves. From the very beginning they were outward looking developing new relations and maintaining old ones, seeking new techniques, seeking and providing help from and to everyone who can defeat Jihadis. Here, continuing the Sikh Tradition, I appeal to the whole human race to unite against Jihadis. A question some people ask me is:" Are Sikhs Hindus?" No, they are not. I counter question:" Is butter milk?" The answer is here: Butter is not milk but enhanced milk, but it is not milk. Yes, butter is milk because it originates from milk. It is is not possible without milk. Why am I writing this to the Christian West ? Because you need Sikh (type)-Christians to be raised to counter the onslaught ... Long Live Humanity down with Barbarians.
