THEY WILL ALWAYS USE THEIR WELL-HIDDEN POISON-DIPPED DAGGER WHEN YOU WILL BE LURED INTO AN EMBRACE

No one in India understood Hindutva more than Khushwant Singh whose End of India was a stunning eye-opener for those whose ceaseless chants of ‘Peaceful Subcontinent’ do have an ideological appeal but in essence defy the ground realities in a big big way. It was the bestial massacre of Muslims in Modi’s Gujrat in 2002 that had earned him the reputation worldwide of a murderous extremist who had no place in a civilized world. His entry in the U.S had been banned. Khushwant Singh had called him a ‘more sophishcated’ face of Hindutva mindset in which no human had any right to exist on the soil belonging to Shiv and Kali Devi who wouldn’t go to a Hindu Temple for Pooja (worship). Khushwant Singh had predicted in his book that the Hindutva mindset was going to get worse with every passing year till Sikhs, Muslims and Christians all would either be fighting for their survival or resign themselves as second-grade citizens to the fate of living strictly in accordance with the Hindutva code. This situation would ultimately lead to the End of India as all second grade or even third grade citizens would have no option but to rise in revolt.
Khushwant Singh had not thought at that time that Gujrat’s butcher was destined to become soon the face of the whole of India as successor to Jawahar Lal Nehru.
It is perfectly reasonable for all lovers of peace here in Pakistan to envision a ‘subcontinent’ whose countries would be jointly engaged in a much-needed war on poverty to raise the quality of life of over 1600 million people of the region.
But such ‘envisioned’ place on the planet Earth will never come into being as long as 100 million hardcore Hindutva activists enjoy life and death power on all the rest.
My uncle Nasim Hijazi understood the Hindutva mindset even better than Khushwant Singh. He wrote a masterpiece “Insan Aur Devta” to throw light on the centuries-long dominance of the Superior castes of India over the Inferior ones. I advise the policy-makers of the country to read that book to feel the pain that those who don’t worship cows go through in Modi’s India and will go through in the years to come under more bestial successors to the butcher of Gujrat.
In Khak Aur Khoon a novel on the partition Nasim Hijazi’s hero in a letter to the ‘future’ generations of Pakistan wrote: THEY WILL ALWAYS USE THEIR WELL-HIDDEN POISON-DIPPED DAGGER WHEN YOU WILL BE LURED INTO AN EMBRACE.
