Indian police wrongly target Muslims

[53fd]

Even in attacks against Muslims; such as Mecca Masjid (Hyderabad), Malegaon blast, Samjhota Express bombing; it was the Muslims that got arrested (when Hindutva terrorists were responsible). I know for a fact that there are many Indians that think it is not possible to have a Hindu terrorist; that a terrorist cannot be Hindu, & vice versa. This is what leads to communalism.

you support for anti-india organisations is to blame for the stereotypical view

Thanks to terrorist attacks by many foreign muslim terrorists that now Indian Muslims have to suffer the consequences.
A conditioned breed full of hatred sponsoring, supporting, infiltrating and now ready to spoil hindu festival Deepawali as we talk has done the damage to tranquillity between Indian communities.

But things have been improving as these nefarious powers are getting exposed. The vicious circle of distrust once injected into our people which started from J&K and then disseminated to rest of the Indian states is going to hurt us sever. This mechanism of hate once triggered by external power can self sustain itself for long creating traction between population of different religion. I wish death to those powers and hope the right sense will prevail among my people.

Thank you for the succinct post.

As you are one of the most respectable members here, I'll just ask you (rather than others who have posted on this forum) on your opinion here:

I've always thought that Indian Muslims were more prone to being targeted wrongfully than other groups. This article, along with the Swami Aseemanand trial, the exposed Hindutva activities in Rajasthan (Ajmer Sharif), Hyderabad (Mecca Masjid), Malegaon, Samjhota Express bombing etc seem to support my argument.

Do you agree with my assertion, that Indian Muslims are more prone towards being targeted by police? And what about their court indictments & convictions?

In short Bilal, inequalities and injustices do exist. Religion is not the only factor here, poverty too plays a big role as it is more difficult for a poor person to fight for his rights and therefore he is a softer target. I will not try to justify it by saying that inequalities and injustices do exist in almost all societies, maybe they do, but that is not reason for us to assume that since bigots exist everywhere, so it is OK if we have some here. We have a long way to go to before we can ensure a just social order for all Indians. Regards.

But Sir, before Swami Aseemanand's confession, most Indians thought it was not possible to have a Hindu terrorist; that a terrorist cannot be Hindu, & vice versa (& most people still think along those lines). Most Indians still think terrorism is only synonymous with Muslims, & it is impossible for a Hindu to indulge in such activities. Even in attacks against Muslims; such as Mecca Masjid (Hyderabad), Malegaon blast, Samjhota Express bombing; it was the Muslims that got arrested (when Hindutva terrorists were responsible).

Aseemanand's confession: Focus shifts to jailed Muslim youths : North: News India Today

18-year-old Abdul Kaleem was arrested by the Hyderabad Police in 2007 in connection with the Mecca Masjid bomb blast. Kaleem and his family have been pleading his innocence, but no one would listen. His family is heaving a sigh of relief after Aseemanand's confession.

This is not a result of bad administration, but serious flaws in society, & the understanding of social dynamics. Christian extremism & terrorism is accepted in the US: Christian extremists blow up abortion clinics, then there are people like Tim Mc Veigh & Eric Rudolph that are considered Christian radicals. But the fact that most people in India cannot accept that a Hindu can be involved in terrorism, that there can be no such thing as a Hindu radical, raises huge questions about the Indian society & its democracy. I hope you understand sir. Regards.

I dont agree with Judge's generalised opinion that Indian police are wrongly targeting Muslims. It may be true in some cases where lot of politics is involved. This DOES NOT mean Hindu's are REAL CULPRITS and responsible for attacks in such cases. However I agree with him on the point that Training and equipment to conduct scientific investigations is lacking in India.

Forefathers of Indian Muslims who wished to stay with Republic of India were totally aware of the pros and cons of staying in Hindu majority India during partition. They were were not cry babies and decided to face the perceived challenge (not fact) of Hindu majority's domination. So they are brave enough to confront the problem of discrimination when it happens, as Indians along with sane minded fellow Indians (the person raising concerns for muslim cause seems to be Hindu), using the instruments given by the constitution of India.

And how exactly did you get know 'most' of these Indians.

Oh wait. You are just being yourself.

Can you tell me how many Hindu extremists have been arrested in India for these bombings & other attacks pre Swami Aseemanand's confessions? Oh wait, a Hindu cannot be an extremist/terrorist as they aren't capable of such things, only a Muslim is capable of bombings & terrorism, my bad...

India is a reflection of the society it has, so it's pretty clear that the lack of Hindu arrests shows that only a Muslim is capable of terrorism in the eyes of the nation, not a Hindu.

Can you tell me that how many hindus are arrested throughout the world for terrorism??

The fact is terrorism prevails in one community than the other. Islamic radicalisation is something cant be denied of.

However that do not vindicate or rule out the growing extremism in hindus but if you consider the huge population of hindus in India, the percentage is quite small. Adding to that islamic millitants group in India are easily provided with funds and ammunition from Pak, hindu extremists find it a bit hard to acquire hardware.

Suffering of muslim is a truth in India. No one can denied that but there is a reason behind that. However there harrasment can be cut down significantly if police force use scientific evidences more than suspicion or biased approach.

There is no space for people harassment just because of ones religion in a civilized and democratic society we Indians boast of. Its a menace and should be curbed.

PS. I dont endorse terrorism to be clubbed with any religion but just for sake to counter arguments some poster are giving I had to use terms like islamic/hindu terrorism.

Most of the Hindus in the world belong to India.

Suicide bombing is not a Muslim phenomena, the Japanese Kamikaze & the LTTE (trained by India) were famous for that. Rajiv Gandhi found that out. India has close to 90% of the world's total hindu population, & IED bomb blasts are commonly used by Maoists & other separatists all over the country. Even though the Maoists have no religion, neither do the 'Islamic terrorists'.

No actually, I'm just taking the statement of the Supreme Court Judge forward, that Indian Muslims are targeted wrongly by the Indian police in bomb probes.

 

[fd24]

Discrimination and injustice towards minorities exist in Indian society.
Indian Police always want to find Muslims as a scrape goat.
They will arrest a Muslim guy and end his carrer and family and later release him with no evidence found and that too without any compenstation.
No Action on Police for falsely Implicating that Person.

Mangalore/ Hydrabad / Samjhautha all Muslim were arrested, even they had no hand all done by Hindu Orthadox.

Sometime I feel sad about these, and scared about this may lead to some Spring in India as well.

End of the day Blame the Congress for this Mess

Thank you for this post. Half of the problem is actually accepting there is an issue. Only then can action be taken. It is unfortunate that due to the fact one is a Muslim then potentially he will be prejudged before being actually found guilty.
It must be rooted out at the top and removed systematically before India can the the real secular India.
If you are suggesting it is the Congress Party to blame - are the other parties any different?
