In his typical, acerbic style, BarbarIndian dissects the Goddess of Absurdity. His summation of the essence(!) of her support for native US Indians (is Red Indian a term of abuse now?) caught my attention.
Her version of the story is as simple as those jerky moving images that passed for motion pictures prior to the invention of talkies.
* White people invaded America
* They slaughtered all Indians
* They occupied the land
I’m aware that yawning differences exist in the histories of the US and India, but there also exists a speck of both truth and similarity at some levels. Let’s do a fun exercise on the lines of BarbarIndian’s summary.
-
Arab Marauders invaded India or Bharatavarsha
-
They slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Hindus and forcibly converted equal numbers over several centuries.
-
They occupied the land
Repeat this with slight variation in technique and circumstances with the British (and their Holy accompaniments, the Missionaries) Story.
Funny the Goddess of Big Words never mentions this. What she does instead is this. [Outlook link courtesy, BarbarIndian)
…the Gujarat genocide is part of a larger, more elaborate and systematic vision. It tells us that the wheat is ripening and the grasshoppers have landed in mainland India.

Yes, “Red Indians” is indeed considered a racist term.
About ARoy etc:
Psecs/mulla/missionary/marxist have hammered lies deep into the psyche of India. And replacing the lies with truth will be a long, hard exercise. We have to keep telling people the truth. At every possible opportunity.
All this seems self-evident. But it is not. It bears re-telling. *Do not stop telling the truth and exposing fraud*
Sites such as this one (and a whole lot of others) are doing a great job. Keep at it, and make people understand. Make them take an interest in what *really* ails India. We have to bring out the truth about Islamic barbarism and butchery, and people who protect and worship these butchers *knowingly, not un-knowingly*; missionary deception and subversion; the huge feel-good-by-denying-reality psec movement; butcher-worship etc. Spread the word everywhere. Millions of poor brainwashed souls need saving. From their own illogical ways, mostly. That will save India. The rewards cannot be seen immediately, not even in just a few months or years. But trust me, they will come. Chhappar faadke. India will become a sensible country again.
Name the Pakistani Missiles.
“India will become a sensible country again.”
Looks unlikely after 6 decades of Congress/ Left dominance. The only version of history we know, is the one pened by Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib. The only system of governance we know, is the one that deals in minority appeasement.
If you go through the English language newspapers, the word Right would look like a dirty four leter word. Left is in. It always has been, notwithstanding the Stalins, the Maos and the Lenins of the world.
It was famously attributed to Hitler, that if you repeat a lie thousand times, people take it to be the truth. The Indian left has appropriated this credo. Nothing will change until their dominance over media (both print and electronic), educational institutions (JNU, etc) and politics ends. Maybe increased consumerism led by the Hindu middle class can do it. Unless we are too busy fighting for quota crumbs.
Hi Shailendra:
These things depend on who has political power. If the BJP rules for two full terms, these leftist / pinko historians will be history. These people thrive only on political patronage.
Sandeep,
I wish to ask Ms Roy a few questions. Firstly I do not understand her meaning of genocide. Is it only employed when the victims are Minorities in India? What about the 3 million Hindus who were slaughtered in Bangladesh in 1970? What about the murder of Kashmiri pandits in 1990? How does one decide where you stop taking genocide into account? When you go to slave trade and what Lord Amherst did with Red Indians why not also talk about Aurangazeb and his merry with the lives of hindus then. This is ridiculous.
About NDTV: Sandeep please write about the issue I have mentioned below.
I want to bring to your attention the slow but deadly campaign that NDTV has launched. If you notice them in the last year I find them showing only muslims when it comes to any news item that talks about poverty. I can cite many examples. No wonder why Barkha Dutt and Sardesai have been given Padma Shri by Congress. They are trying to advocate and justify Congress’s attitude of minoritysm. Just to show to the Indian public that Minorities are indeed suffering. They are trying to soften Indians with constantly bombarding them with news that would make them feel sorry about the sufferings of minorities. Hindus also suffer due to poverty. Poverty is poverty there is no religion. Day before yesterday centre announced 1800 crore scholarships for minorities. I think, Sandeep, you should write about this topic. We need to do proper research of many of their programs and bring them out in the open.
Shanth…
Shailendra:
The exact reason why I wrote my post. It will be a long battle. We need to have the stamina to stay in. Psecs are a dime a dozen, truth-seekers are rare, and truth-seekers who keep hammering away at Thapar and the psec edifice of lies are rarer still. This last kind we need. However long it takes. Maybe 20 years, maybe 50!
About the repeating business (Hitler’s PR minister Goebbels said that line, I think): but if the left can do it with lies, we can do it with the truth!
