Friends, to date I have failed to understand why the Congress party has always been an anti-Hindu political party after the independence. Our first Prime Minister always had a soft corner for the Muslim community, and there is much news on the media saying that in fact, the Nehru family’s ancestors were Muslims. If you go by one of those theories which are floating on social media, says that Sheikh Abdullah and Jawaharlal Nehru were half-brothers. Natwar Singh, who has associated with PM Indira Gandhi for so many years, has written in his book that “once when he visited Afghanistan with Indira Gandhi, there she visited the tomb of Taimur, the barbaric ruler who ruled India 500 years back, and prayed there and said we are your children”. And present de facto head of the Congress party Sonia Gandhi, who is Italian by birth, has time and again shown that she has got no love and sympathy for the Hindus.
To date many Hindus have still not realized, the policies propagated by the Congress party generally never favour the Hindu community, and for this, the Congress has always tried to divide the Hindus on a caste basis, so that the Hindus continue to fight among themselves, and the Congress party always thrived on this division among Hindus.
Here are a few instances after independence, when the policies declared by the Congress party were anti-Hindu:
1 In the year 1950 Congress brought Article 25, which allowed conversions based on religion, it is well-known facts by this article how many conversions of Hindus took place over the years by the other minority groups.
2 In 1950, one more Article 28 was introduced which forbid Hindus from having religion-based education, while the minority community by Article 30 could continue to have religion-based education.
3 In 1951, the Congress government brought Hindu Religious And Charitable Endowment Act (HRCE) introduced/passed. The reason given was that the maintenance of big Hindu temples could be taken more effectively by the government bodies. No such action was brought for the religious places of other religious communities.
4 In 1956 Hindu Code Bill was brought, but for minority communities like Muslims, the government did not touch their personal law board. So in the country, the majority community was under the government’s civil code, but minority communities were never brought under the same code. To date, the Congress party is not in favour of the Uniform Civil Code.
5 Then 1956 the Congress government brought the Reservation Bill, which was based on the Hindu caste system. The constituent assembly had proposed reservations for the weaker sections of Hindu society for 10 years, but here the Bill was based on the caste system. This Bill divided Hindus, which is continuing, as reservations which were meant for only 10 years are continuing even after 75 years of independence.
6 In 1976 during the Emergency period. Then PM Indira Gandhi added the ‘Secular’ word in Indian Constitution, by which India became a secular country. Now if you see around us in the world, most countries are not secular, and they are based on the majority community religion. There are Catholic countries and Islamic countries.
7 In 1991, the Congress government brought the Religious worship places Act, by which Hindus, Sikhs, Jains etc, could not file a claim for their rights on the places, where rulers of other religions have destroyed their places of worship.
8 In 1992, the congress government brought Minority Commission Act, this Act gave special advantages to the people from the minority community, in particular the Muslims.
Here I failed to understand when the country was made secular, and then why majority and minority communities.
9 In 1995, The Waqf Board Act was introduced/passed, the condition became such that if the Waqf Board files a claim that the particular property is theirs, then you could not file a case against them in a court of law. Now it has so happened that the Waqf Board is the third largest property holder in the country after Railways and Defence.
10 In 2004, the Congress government gave an affidavit in the Ram Janam Bhoomi case, saying that Lord Rama is a fictional character, this went against the belief of the Hindu community. Thanks to the Indian judiciary, it was proven in the SC court that the place where the Babri Masjid was located was the birthplace of Lord Ram. The battery of lawyers, who belonged to the Congress party, fought till the end to prove Lord Ram is a fictitious character.
11 In the year 2009, the Congress party coined a new term and which was ‘Hindu Terrorism’ and compared the same with Laskhar E Tauba (LeT)., which was a great shock to the Hindus.
The reality is that the Mughals and the British used their force, so that Hindus could be finished, and in modern times the Congress party used the law and the Constitution to finish the Hindus.
It was a blessing in disguise that the Congress Party lost the 2014 general election due to the charges of corruption against their government, otherwise, we do not know how many more anti-Hindu laws they would have brought.
It was only the present government which is bringing the old anti-Hindu deeds of Congress into the limelight and started awakening Hindus.
