USCIRF reports lies - Who cares?
Today there would be outrage against
USCIRF report, as another arm of the US foreign policy churns out ‘Atrocity Literature’, a
political tool aimed at subduing independent minded countries. Year after year,
USCIRF releases one sided, factually incorrect, insidious lies with the
blessings of the US Government. The arrogance of USCIRF as it pretends to be
wholesale custodian stems from two of its make-believe attributes; American Exceptionalism
and Christian Altruism. These vacuous attributes are not the topic here, but
soon will be elsewhere.
2014 Report:
In Page 21 the report alleges complicity of Narendra Modi in the riot that resulted in an estimated 1100 to 2000 Muslims. There are two lies cleverly concealed in this statement.
First lie is that 1000 to 2000
Muslims died in 2002 riots. The actual casualties are 790 Muslims and 254
Hindus, a total of less than 1100 people. The report written in 2015 still peddles exaggerated
numbers to reach a foregone biased conclusion.
Second lie is its allusion to Modi’s
complicity in the riot. One of the facts that USCIFR does not want to touch is
that most of the Hindus who died in the riot were killed by police bullets.
That is only one of the reasons. The Indian courts have cleared Modi’s
complicity and still USCIFR arrogates to the contrary and plenty more are the other reasons.The net of it is, that one single sentence is a false alibi to a million ill-intents, all inspired by American interest.
From Wendy Doninger to USCIRF, these are manufacturing units for Atrocity Literature working tirelessly to corrode other cultures to promote American business interest through export of Christian values. Mostly of those altruistic Protestant Christian values are cloaked in Liberal values that appeal to the eager to please variety of Indians, from Left and Right political ideology.
The only incident USCIFR substantially
relies on is the Muzzafarnagar riot in which the narrative struggles to
airspray truth to paint it the way it wants it to be seen. The other references of water
cannoning of a Dalit rally is pathetic during Congress rule. The narrative fails to state this clearly, hoping that this allegation will be laid at Modi ji's feet. Further, the report also makes innuendos that Indian
Police and Courts are archaic, corrupt and antiquated. Coming from a country
that shoots down people like Indians swat flies in Mango season, this is really rich.
The report decries our justice
system which handed down punishment for the murderers of Laxmananda Saraswathi
because the murderers turned out to be Christians. The report attempts to make
Indian Judiciary some sort of Kangaroo court, an insult to injury.
2015 Report:
The 2015 report contents are being added now:
As expected the report paints the Indian Law and Order and Judiciary as inadequate. The usual tactics to make the Indian Liberals cringe.
The atrocities listed are minor or inconsequential. However the report also does not list out the element of anti-national activities of Islamic group nor does it talk of the proselytizing Christian evangelist. The report starts from the assumption that these two are legitimate actions. It quotes fake statistics that 'Ghar Wapsi' was achieved by giving USD 3200 to Christians and USD 8000 to convert Muslims. This is the level of contrived and imagined evidence the report is made of.
The grouse is 'Ghar Wapsi' while conversions by Evangelists is apparently legal. The report cites 6 instances of crime against Christians, yes, a grand total of SIX instances without mentioning that all these instances have been proven not to be linked to religious intolerance.
That is all the crime it lists out. There is no meat in the substance and what the report lacks in substance, it makes up with prejudice.

What should be India’s response?
We should just stop using Governmental
response to this report. USCIFR has only betrayed its bias, steeped in its hate for any non-Christian culture, its proselytizing
fervor, penchant to create ‘Atrocity literature’ as a dutiful dog of its US
political masters.
And Modi ji’s Government is doing
most of what should be done. I am sure there are many more actions planned that mortals like me will not know till it is revealed.
Let us move the trade to countries
other than the US. Actively India should try and reduce trade with US as a
strategy for the next 10 years. India cannot afford to be insulted by a country
that also wants to trade with us. Instead of verbal retort, India should act to
reduce trade dependencies on the US.
Rafale planes maybe Ambassadors
amongst war planes. But it was with Ambassadors India started to reach a level
of self-reliance today that makes it a strong Global power.
While we downplay the trade
importance with the US, we should also come down heavily on the business of
proselytization sponsored by American Churches. BJP government should
understand the importance of unleashing the Hindu power, the just and Dharmic
power, to strengthen nationalism and self-reliance. Freeing the temple wealth
to be used for the Hindu cause will ensure that the poor and needy Hindus do
not have to convert to get education and health. In the absence of an
alternative, the Christian churches have an uneven advantage in luring the poor
section of Hindus with free education and health.And BJP is doing that too.
Finally, there should be concerted
effort to boycott one, just one, American product. There is nothing better
understood by Americans than profit. To teach a lesson, if we boycott, when I
say we, the BJP supporters alone, Coke and its products like Kinley, for a
month or a quarter and cause a significant dent in its revenue, it will send a
message that cannot be misunderstood by Americans. That we mean business and we
know how to hit back where it hurts.
It does not matter if we win or lose
in this. Most important is that we start the process of fight back. The victory
will not come the first time but will come in time.
