Will Hindus be able to withstand an assault from within, after being the Greatest Victim of Islam…

Will India, the Greatest Victim of Islam, Be Able to Withstand an Assault from Within?

(An eminent writer on Islam and analyst on Jihad from a foreign country is more concerned about the Islamic proliferation in India. But, the present political power in the Center is gracious enough for PasmandaKaran (development of backward Muslims) with a preset mentality of appeasement. Hence, the major victim will be the Hindus undoubtedly. Here writer, Hugh Fitzgerald throws more light on how the majority will be Greast victims of Islam by the way, if not checked.)

With 80 million Hindus killed and tens of millions of Hindus enslaved by Muslims during many centuries of rule, India has been the greatest victim of Muslim conquest, its people subject to rapes, rapine, and mass killings that followed upon their submission. Modern India, under the rule of the Congress Party, shied away from standing up for Hindu rights or even of telling the truth about India’s history in becoming, under ruthless Muslim rule, what V. S. Naipaul called “a wounded civilization.” Narendra Modi is made of sterner stuff, and a champion of the Hindus, but it will still be difficult for him and those around him to figure out how to deal with the enemy within, whose numbers and power are steadily increasing.

More on the history of Muslim depredations of, and aggressions against, India’s Hindus can be found here: “The Massive Transformation of India and the Middle East,” by Uzay Bulut, Gatestone Institute, August 11, 2023:

Since 1947… Pakistan has initiated three full-fledged wars with India…. In addition, Pakistan has consistently utilized cross-border terrorism in India as an official instrument of state policy, including the 26/11 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.… Pakistan’s military and ISI spy agency also continues to support the Taliban, the Haqqani group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and other affiliated militant groups in Afghanistan to undermine U.S. military operations and maintain its strategic influence there.” — Hindu American Foundation, August 2019.

It was the Muslims of India who during the time of Partition in 1947 first attacked the Hindus as they streamed out of what would become West and East Pakistan. It was again the Muslims of Pakistan who made war against India in 1965, in an attempt to seize a greater share of Kashmir. That war, fought mostly in the air, ended in a stalemate with no change in borders. In 1971, Pakistan again began a war by attacking 11 Indian airbases, causing little damage but leading to India declaring war on Pakistan. The resultant Indo-Pak war took place while the army of West Pakistan was also attempting to crush the independence movement in East Pakistan. The Pakistani army lost both to India and to the rebels in East Pakistan, who promptly declared the existence of their new nation of Bangladesh. The latest large-scale conflict between India and Pakistan was the Kargil War in 1995, in which Pakistani army troops, disguised as local Kashmiri militants to maintain deniability, infiltrated beyond the Line of Control separating Indian from Pakistani Kashmir, in order to attack Indian army positions. That war ended like all the others, with a Pakistani defeat and a return to the antebellum borders.

India first faced Islamist violence, dating as far back as the 8th century to the time of the Muslim Mughal invasions and rule through the mid-19th century. Countless Hindus and other non-Muslims were murdered or forcibly converted to Islam.

The Indian historian K. S. Lal once estimated that as many as 80 million Hindus were slaughtered over several centuries by Muslims. In addition, tens of millions of Hindus, as well as Buddhists and Jains, converted to Islam to avoid being killed.

[Historian Mahomed] Ferishtha lists several occasions when… sultans in central India… (1347-1528) killed a hundred thousand Hindus, which they set as a minimum goal whenever they felt like “punishing” the Hindus.… Prof. K.S. Lal once estimated that the Indian population declined by 50 million under the Sultanate..[during the centuries when the population ought to have risen by 30 million, and with still more Hindus slaughtered outside the Delhi Sultanate].. research into the magnitude of the damage Islam did to India is yet to start in earnest…” — Koenraad Elst, The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, September 2, 2011.

Apart from actual killing, millions of Hindus disappeared by way of enslavement. After every conquest by a Muslim invader, slave markets in Baghdad and Samarkand were flooded with Hindus…. [O]ne cold night in the reign of Timur Lenk (1398-99), a hundred thousand Hindu slaves died [on the Hindu Kush, “Hindu-killer”] while on transport to Central Asia.” — Koenraad Elst, The International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation, September 2, 2011.

Islamist violence against Hindus and other non-Muslims who enjoy freedom of speech is an ongoing problem.

This is true not just in Muslim lands. In Europe, too, those who are accused of insulting Muhammad are threatened with death, a threat that Muslims sometimes manage to carry out. Think only of the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, Theo van Gogh, Lars Vilks, the staff of Jyllands-Posten, Salman Rushdie, and many others who were threatened with, or actually became the victims of, violent attacks, or were even murdered by Muslim fanatics. Even in India itself, where Muslim mobs are swift to inflict their “justice” against “blasphemers,” they are apparently unafraid of being apprehended by the police force.

Ethnic cleansing against the indigenous Hindu people of Kashmir was one of the occurrences that drastically changed the demographic balance in the region. Starting in 1989, more than 350,000 Kashmiri Hindus were driven from their ancestral homeland in the Jammu and Kashmir region by a radical insurgency orchestrated and funded by Pakistan.

In 1989, the Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir began a systematic campaign to drive out, or kill, the Hindus still living in that contested region. Their brutal methods, which included ghoulish tortures (eyes gouged out, genitals cut off, pregnant women eviscerated), terrorized the Hindus, and 350,000 Kashmiri Pandits fled southward out of the territory.
