Hindus should adopt
Militancy wherever they live
Mohan Lal Gupta, 6-16-00
The 800,000 inhabitants of these South Pacific Fiji islands
include those with Melanesian (and Polynesian) ancestors and those
descended from Bhartiya indentured labourers who were shipped in
by the British between 1874 and 1920 to cut sugar cane. In
1987, the ethnic Bhartiyas, who made up about 52 percent of the
population, elected the first Bhartiya people based government.
The ethnic Melanesians, led by Stiveni Rabuka, promptly staged two
military coups. They declared a republic, left the commonwealth
and on restoring civilian rule in 1990, wrote a new constitution
that forbade ethnic Bhartiyas to hold power.
Some 50,000 Bhartiya Fijians left the country. This not only
decreased their proportion of the population to 42 percent, but
since their wealth and business acumen had driven much of
the economy - - a source of Melanesian envy -- it left the country
much poorer.
Mr. Rabuka decided to make up with the Bhartiya opposition and
Fijian law makers wrote a new constitution that guaranteed
Bhartiyas new 19 seats in the parliament and Melanesians 23 seats,
with 25 seats open to all races. In May, 1999 Fiji elected its
first Ethnic Bhartiya prime minister, Mahendra Chaudhry - and the
monster of racial intolerance roared back to life. This time
the agent was George Speight, a man whom the new government had
dismissed last year as chairman of two timber companies.
He barged into the parliament on may 19, 2000 with other six
gunmen and took the government (including Mr. Chaudhry) hostage.
The ethnic Fijians have taken to arms to remove the Bhartiya
politicians from office after they were duly elected. He claims
his crusade is to reserve power exclusively for ethnic Melanesians
and sadly, many Fijians are supporting his cause.
The ethnic Indian prime minister of Fiji, a Hindu, is still being
held by that bastard African, Christian ape. The majority
population of Fiji is Christian and belongs to Methodist church.
You never know what black people are going to do, they can
turn insane within seconds.
The parents, grandparents, great-grandparents of present Bhartiya
generation have worked really hard and developed this
country Fiji to a world class nation. The rights of Bhartiya
people in Fiji have been taken away by guns. Bhartiya people
have been suppressed by the military and police to a stage where
they cannot open their mouth to fight for their rights. The
military of Fiji comprises 95 percent of Fijian origin.
Native Fijians in the past and in this recent coup have looted and
burnt houses as well beaten and raped Bhartiya women.
Bhartiya men, women and children are terrorised and hit with
sticks and stones by Fijian people who are believed to be
supporter of rascal and undemocratic George Speight. Fijians are
urged by their leaders on radio to commit violence against
Bhartiya people. A lot of violence and injustice is being
carried out against Bhartiyas. Every Bhartiya is living in
fear. The minority Bhartiya community in Fiji is under
serious threat of violence. Their only choice at this moment keep
their mouth shut and suffer.
The U.S. ambassador to Fiji, Osman Siddique, a Bangladeshi
American, on June 9 branded Speight a terrorist and said he should
be brought to trial, but this is unlikely to happen as Fiji's
military rulers have already promised Speight and his supporters
amnesty from prosecution.
At present the Bhartiya population is about 44
percent, while the Fijians are 51 percent. THE POPULATION IS
ALMOST EQUAL. But the Hindus, naturally, will hardly ever put up a
fight. The fate of their Hindu prime minister is on the
line, and all these Bhartiya people are hiding in their
houses afraid of being beaten up the Fijians. If they
destroy one Bhartiya shop, Bhartiya people should go destroy
10 of theirs. But that won't happen. What will most likely
happen is that some extremist Fijians will take over
the govt. and then massacre or kick all the Bhartiyas out of
the country. Already the people of Bhartiya are being terrorised
in the villages of Fiji. Then the Hindus will return crying
to Bharat as refugees, seems to be the popular thing right
now. For how long Bhartiya people should suffer due the impotency
of Government of Bharat? Fijian people of Bhartiya origin has come
to the point where they cannot tolerate any more torture and
humiliation. Bhartiya government always expect from nonresident
Bhartiyas to invest in Bharat and help Bharat when the
country is in trouble due to wrong policies of the Government of
Bharat but never rushes to help people of Bhartiya origin when
they are in trouble in foreign countries. Bhartiya government
always watches from the sidelines whenever Bhartiya people living
in foreign countries are in trouble and do not take any
action to defend Bhartiyas who are counting on their help.
When Stiveni Rabuka staged a coup in 1987, Bhartiya government
just made some verbal statement instead of helping Bhartiya people
in a practical manner. The result was Stiveni Rabuka ruled
the country Fiji for 10 years and the people of Bhartiya origin
migrated to Australia, Newzeland, Canada and in some other
countries, resulting in the decrease of people of Bhartiya origin
in Fiji. When Sitiveni Rabuka staged a coup for the first time,
then many Fijian leaders of Bhartiya origin went to Bharat to seek
help from the government of Bharat. These Fijian leaders of
Bhartiya origin met some ministers of Bhartiya government
and asked for practical help. The help they were asking was
a military intervention as government of Bharat has done in
Maladive islands, but no help was provided to the Fijian people of
Bhartiya origin by the Bhartiya government.
The type of activities which George Speight is carrying out in
Fiji, similar activities were carried out by some goonda and
antinational elements in Maladives. The defence minister
Krishan Pant took only couple of hours to do take military action
in Maldives while the lives of Bhartiya people were not involved.
But the government of Bharat declined to do any military
intervention in Fiji. Then the Fijian leaders of
Bhartiya origin made a request to set a up a military camp for
training people of Bhartiya people in neighbouring Australia or
Newzeland so that if there is any future coup in Fiji, then these
trained people in military activities could protect the Bhartiya
people in Fiji and other neighbouring countries. The government of
Bharat did not agree to set up a military camp in Australia at
that time.
When an ex-Bhartiya ambassador to Fiji was asked, why there is no
help to people of Bhartiya people living in Fiji, when George
Speight took hostage of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry and other
members of parliament, then the Bharat's ex-ambassador dismissed
any notion of loyalty to Bhartiya Hindu expatriates in Fiji. In
his view the condition of Bhartiya people in Fiji was
non-important and a non issue for the government of Bharat saying
Bharat has nothing to do with Fiji and its Bhartiya people.
In his view Fiji is a sovereign country with internal problems. It
is same attitude of the present High Commission when the recent
coup by George Speight took place in Fiji.
The coup took place in Fiji on May 19,2000. By May 29, every
High commission and embassy was issuing warnings to their
nationals to leave Sauva for safer places, or leave Fiji
altogether. The notable exception was the Bhartiya High
commission. They (officials of the Bhartiya High Commission)
seemed rather unconcerned about the fact that when ethnic violence
breaks out in Fiji, Bhartiya nationals are usually the first
targets of violence.
The Bhartiya government has an obligation, a moral
responsibility to make it clear to all Bhartiyas living in Fiji
and other countries, that it has got no intention of getting
herself involved in their problems and they are making a mistake
in hoping that Bharat would ever come to their aid whenever they
are in trouble. Government of Bharat and its politicians
fail to understand the suffering and pains of affected people
living in foreign countries, when people of Bhartiya origin are
harassed and tortured.
Every country in the world looks after its citizens settled
overseas, but not the government of Bharat. It did not help
the people of Bhartiya people settled in overseas countries may it
be Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Madagascar, Fiji, Mayanmar, Sri
lanka or any country. United States and most of the European
countries not only put diplomatic pressure but take some practical
steps to protect its citizens and their interests in foreign
countries, but not the government of Bharat.
Whatever the action government of Bharat wants to take in Fiji,
must do it fast, otherwise people of Bhartiya origin may split in
different camps, or a situation may come where Fiji island might
have to be split in two countries. The government of Bharat should
take help of Australia, Newzeland, Japan, Indonesia to protect the
interests and lives of people of Bhartiya people in Fiji. The
government should also help the military of Fiji in curbing the
tyrant, wicked and bad people of Fijian society.
Tamil tigers might be considered a terrorist organization in the
world, but it has made it clear to the world that Hindu society is
alive and kicking and can make sacrifices to protect its
interests. Organization like Tamil Tigers should be made all over
the world to protect the lives and interests of Hindus. The
government of Bharat should help in establishing military camps
for Hindus and provide facilities for training them and also
supply arms to them all over the world for protecting their lives
and interests, especially in those rogue countries where there is
possibility of harassment of Hindus. Government of Bharat and
other organisations should try to win over people of other
nationalities and should also involve these people of other
nationalities for the protection of Hindus living in foreign
countries. This is the only way to restrain people, opposed to the
interests of Hindus and who like to harass Hindus thinking
Hindus make a meek community.
The government should increase its diplomatic efforts whenever
Hindus are in trouble living in foreign countries and should help
in the formation of Hindu militant protection groups in foreign
countries especially in countries in Fiji, Uganda, Kenya,
Madagascar or wherever undemocratic parties or rascal people rule
and also help such Hindu groups in getting arms.
Hey Ram, Give these Bhartiya people some courage, so that they
discard the defeatist non-violence theories as non-violence has
always brought death and disaster to Hindus, adopt militancy in
nature and perform the balancing act by taking revenge
against those people who harass Hindu community anywhere in the
world and protect themselves anywhere in the world by forming
militant groups. These militant groups should also motivate Hindu
organisations to challenge defeated imperialist ideologies like
Christianity and Islam and let the world know that Hindu community
is not a meek and weak society.
