They say ‘history repeats itself first as a tragedy and then as a farce’. In case of India, communal violence not only keeps repeating itself, the pattern of the tragedy keeps changing every next time. Some features of the violence are constant, but they are under the wraps mostly. The same can be said about the Delhi violence (February 2020). The interpretations, the causative factors are very discernible, but those who are generally the perpetrators have a knack of shifting the blame on the victim community or those who stand for the victims.
As the carnage began presumably in the aftermath of statement of Kapil Mishra of BJP, which was given in front of a top police official, in which he threatened to get the roads emptied. The roots of violence were sown earlier. The interpretations given by the Hindu Nationalist camp is that the riot is due to the changing demographic profile of the area with Muslims increasing in number in those areas, and coming up of Shaheen Bagh which was presented was like ‘Mini Pakistan’. As per them the policies of BJP in matters of triple talaq, Article 370 and CAA, NPR, NRC has unnerved the ‘radical’ elements and so this violence.
As such before coming to the observations of the activists and scholars of communal violence in India, we can in brief say that violence, in which nearly 46 people have died, include one from police and another from intelligence. Majority victims are Muslims. The violence started right under the nose of the police and the ruling party. From the videos and other eye accounts, police not only looked the other way around, at places it assisted those attacking the innocent victims and burning and looting selective shops. Home minister, Amit Shah, was nowhere on the scene. For first three days the rioters had free run. After the paramilitary force was brought in; the violence simmered and slowly reduced in intensity. The state AAP Government, which in a way is the byproduct of RSS supported Anna Hazare movement, was busy reading Hanuman Chalisa and praying at Rajghat with eyes closed to the mayhem going in parts of Delhi.
Communal violence is the sore point of Indian society. It did begin during colonial period due to British policy of ‘Divide and Rule’. At root cause was the communal view of looking at history and pro active British acts to sow the seeds of Hindu-Muslim divide. At other level the administrative and police the British were fairly neutral. On one hand was the national movement, uniting the people and creating and strengthening the fraternal feeling among all Indians. On the other were Muslim Communalists (Muslim League) and Hindu Communalists (Hindu Mahasabha, RSS) who assisted the British goal of ‘divide and rule’ promoting hatred between the communities. After partition the first major change was the change in attitude of police and administration which started tilting against Muslims. Major studies by Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer, Paul Brass and Omar Khalidi demonstrated that anti Muslim bias is discernible in during and after the riots.
Now the partisan role of police has been visible all through. Sri Krishna Commission report brought forth this fact; as did the research of the Ex DIG of UP police Dr. V.N.Rai. Dr. Rai’s studies also concluded that no communal violence can go on beyond 24 hours unless state administration is complicit in the carnage. In one of the violence, investigation of which was done by concerned Citizen’s team (Dhule, 2013) this author observed that police itself went on to undertake the rampage against Muslims and Muslim properties.
General observation about riots is that violence sounds to be spontaneous, as the Home Minister is pointing out, but as such it is well planned act. Again the violence is orchestrated in such a way that it seems Muslims have begun the riots. Who casts the First stone? To this scholars point out that the carnage is so organized that the encircled community is forced to throw the first stone. At places the pretext is made that ‘they’ (minorities) have thrown the first stone.
The pretexts against minorities are propagated, in Gujarat violence Godhra train burning, in Kandhamal the murder of Swami Laxamannand and now Shaheen bagh! The Hindu Muslim violence began as riots. But it is no more a riot, two sides are not involved. It is plain and simple anti Minority violence, in which some from the majority are also the victims.
This violence is possible as the ‘Hate against this minority’ is now more or less structural. The deeper Hate against Muslims and partly against Christians; has been cultivated since long and Hindu nationalist politics, right from its Shakhas to the social media have been put to use for spreading Hatred. The prevalent deeper hate has been supplanted this time by multiple utterances from BJP leaders, Modi (Can be recognized by clothes), Shah (press EVM machine button so hard that current is felt in Shaheen Bagh), Anurag Thakur (Goli (bullet) Maro) Yogi Aditya Nath (If Boli (Words)Do not work Goli will) and Parvesh Varma (They will be out to rape).
The incidental observation of the whole tragedy is the coming to surface of true colors of AAP, which not only kept mum as the carnage was peaking but also went on to praise the role of police in the whole episode. With Delhi carnage “Goli Maro” seems to be becoming the central slogan of Hindu nationalists. Delhi’s this violence has been the first one in which those getting killed are more due to bullets than by swords or knifes! Leader’s slogans do not go in vain! Courts the protectors of our Constitution seem to be of little help as if one of them like Murlidhar Rao gives the verdict to file against hate mongers, he is immediately transferred.
And lastly let’s recall the academic study of Yale University. It concludes; BJP gains in electoral strength after every riot’. In India the grip of communalism is increasing frighteningly. Efforts are needed to combat Hate and Hate mongers.
In its bilingual invitation card for the November 4 event to be held at Indian Social and Cultural Centre in Abu Dhabi, the Sangha has described Sulibele as anationalist thinker' andgreat orator'. According to organisers, NRI tycoon B R Shetty will preside over the event. On the same occasion sculptor and writer B K Ganesh Rai will be conferred with Da Ra Bendra award.

While you are in India, you enjoy all sorts of privileges and when you are in UAE, it suddenly becomes communal! Come on, guys, have the courage to face some criticism too; don't just run away from reality; you are getting a taste of your own medicine; who is spewing venom, who's anti national you will know when you invite people like Owaisi Brothers, the vote bank politicians like Didi, Behenji, MS and the like! I guess, you would welcome Pappu to do national justice!
UAE authorities must look into the links they have with these outfits. Somewhere Karnataka sangha Abu Dhabi supporting these hate mongers under the sheild of community organization.
Authorities should make sure these Sangha members are not acting as agents of this dangerous outfits in UAE.
Dear Rasheed...
Many of the non muslims learn islam from islam-haters..which is completely opposite way of the real teachings of ISLAM... its easy for them to divert from the TRUTH cos of their IGNORANCE.
Me and YOU as a Muslim should convey the real basic teaching of ISLAM rather than keeping quiet and letting them to continue their hatred towards the religion of PEACE..
ALLAH controls the heart, We should learn on How Umar RA who was staunch enemy of Prophet accepted ISLAM when the TRUTH was presented by a Muslim.... Until then he was hating ISLAM just thinking what was presented to him by the haters of that time and wanted to attack the prophet pbuh...
TRUTH will Prevail... Dont Judge a person they will not accept the TRUTH...
During the Month of February (SJM) in association with (SEDC) in Mangalore Town Hall conducted a symposium on ‘Madrasa system in secular society’. They invited Yuva Brigade leader Chakravarty Sulibele, who is a popular Kannada orator among Sangh Parivar, he said that the rapid growth in Muslim population around the globe in last few decades was not strengthening the community but making the community poor and weak.
However the population could not be a reason for increasing poverty. “While renowned economists like Amartya Sen talk about how population can be used as a resource for the development of the country, vested interests blame people or population for the failure of governments”.
Stating that there is a need to end misconceptions among people about Islam and its madrasa system, madrasas in India produced thousands of freedom fighters and not terrorists. “Even today madrasa advocates patriotism,” and recent years we see most of Madrasa and Mosque hoisting National flag during National days like Independence day and Republic days, however we can’t see National flag in so called Nationalist Organization RSS headquarters or any Sangh organization.
One must understand the fact that Soolibele and his team will not rest until India become Hindurastra. The so-called secular people in Karnataka Sangh Abu Dhabi make any adjustment with RSS ideology but they won't change their mind-set. each and every opportunity what you provide for them they will make it as a weapon to criticize in other stage. I can understand the intention of the organiser but the outcome will be negative impact on secular NRI Kannadigas, therefore all the like minded people should stand together to defeat the intention of internal organizers.
All these things are happening here in result of recently RSS chief held a series of closed-door meetings in Thanthra Vidya Peettham at Aluva near Kochi in Kerala with prominent NRI businessmen seeking their cooperation in expanding the organisation and strengthening its activities gulf countries.
#19 Mr Weak Up Mangalore,
May be you r Sleeping , All this RSS Chaddis Research Islam and Study Well becouse only how they can Impiment Anti Islam theory.
Mr Weakup Dont give Dawa like this RSS (Quraan-2,7) , If want to Give Dawa you have good platforme has waiting India.
Thats way they use Like you and Sayed Shanawaz, Hussain,Muqthar Naqvi Abbas and Raheem Uchil in Mangalore.
It looks like Kannada Sangha is a face of RSS. The both invitees are RSS. Dr. Shetty is also a strong RSS man but a big businessman. As par as Mr. Solibele, he is well known anti Muslim RSS youth leader. That is not a big matter. But he was supported and went along to jail to welcome a murderer last month. That too an innocent Hindu RTI activist was killed . Do you need such a Kalanka Man to talk in your Organizations function??? What kind of talk , advise we can expect from such a communal person.
Keep Karnataka Sangha away from all these politics and run the organization with the love and unity with the all religion NRI's who are staying like a brothers in Gulf countries. Don't bring poison from India to our Indian society in the gulf.
Thank God they cancelled his trip.it is purely because of high pressure put by various organizations,community leaders and individuals. I salute them for their brave act of unity.
We Indians in U.A.E. are living in a very brotherly and harmonies way of life.And what made Mr. Shetty and his team to invite a man who claimed he and Bajrarangdal -born to burn Masjid,Church and Muslims.
Karnataka Sangha, Abu Dhabi is biased against certain segment of the society ,and show is run by it's president and his bunch of crony supporters.
And just to eye wash the Kannadiga's they put two of their\ chelas\"( \"houdu basavanna,alla basavaan type\" ) as representatives from Muslim community.
I have seen these 2 Muslim members name in the invitation,shame on them. They should have opposed this move from the day one,but why they kept quiet.?It is shame that they failed to to ensure the brotherly relationships or afraid of President!
Better they come out of this evil Sangha, and be with the Larger Ummaha.
Me being a Kannadiga- very uncomfortable and disappointed by such continually biased act of Karnataka Sangha against Muslims
Hope good will prevail !"
Roshan
Thanks for your comments and your message says that u compare sulibele with Hafeez Saeed and baghdadi hahahaha.
UNISLAMIC CULTURE......SHAME ON SO CALLED MUSLIMS
Kannada sangha is noting but the part of RSS and the main aim of this is to raise funds for RSS.
Sulibele is a great Thinker of RSS. He is a anti National.
Hahahah . If karnataka sangha invites Hafeez Saeed or Abu Bhakar Al Bagdadi...may be some of our so called peace people will be much happier today...Dr.B.R.Shetty Please think about it.
Guys with no job will always see a free chance to go anywhere.. whether its a MUSLIM country or non MUSLIMS.. If he has a shame in his skin he will never go to ANY MUSLIM country due to his mindset and preaching.. lol how funny this man.. Giving speech against MUSLIMS and going to eat MUSLIMS food.. hahaha funny man.. suleybilli..
As Mr. Abdul basith said... \His world is sangh parivar...\"
Let him come and see what is the world outside of SP...
There are many who changed their mind when they really interacted with the Muslims ...
It is easy to the cheddis to create hate mongers by showing them only doctored clips and LIES...
Muslims should invite him also and explain what is ISLAM and its teachings...
Cos cheddis have filled their software from very young with hate of islam and humanity.
God has given intellect ... When we grow up we should use our intellect to know if ISLAM really hates non muslims or Not...? Dont be a SLAVE of the cheddi software...
For Grown up cheddi members use your intellect and try to learn what islam says... or U will be in DARKNESS of the REALITY of who is the enemy of humanity."
This is a conspiracy of RSS to spread its hate monger idealogy among Kannadigas working in the gulf states. So far all working here without any differences. So they want to spread this divide and rule policy among NRIs too. Muslim countries do not understand this. These kind of hate mongers, who is not allowing citizens of india to live peacefully, should not be entertained. He should be stopped at all means. Please bring this to the authorities of UAE.
In future be careful about these kind of sanghas in all over the Gulf Countries. This Kannada sangha now show their real face. They are working for RSS its clear now. We should be more careful about BRS also..They may now favouring to Modi...All Like minded people should understand this points in future.
there is no good leaders or good person to Invite, Sulibele was Available as Free of Cost so he agreed to it!!!, y all this controversy
Its proven what Kannada sangha actual doing in Gulf countries
Sulibele proudly claimed that bajarangdal was born to burn masjid & church at a program in Manglore. then how kannadiga sangha calling him as a nationalist, it's wondering jok to call him a nationalist. he wants to destroy the peace in society. Thanks CD for publishing the timely report & heartily thanking all UAE NRI kannadigasa united for showing their secularism.
RSS wing at Abu Dhabi. being in a Muslim country how could you guys think of inviting an RSS backed Muslim hater. I think government official of UAE should intervene and ban him from entering the Emirates.
All these Kannada Sangha is a proxy for RSS in M.E
Interestingly some beary leaders also committee members of Karnataka Sangha.
Thanks CD for this timely report.
In fact every one Knows about Chkravarthi Sulibele.
Why did Karnataka Sanga plan to Bring Him for Rajyotsava prongram?
He is a communal leader and they want to Build good reputation for him in UAE. that's Why they planned to depict him as public figure.
#7 Vidya, nice jokes. You guys also using same theme against CNN IBN, NDTV, Times Of India and other secular media. Now coastaldigest which is trusted media.
69% people know who is right, better and best. No need to learn from 31% fools.
Extremely partial and provocative report by Ankita Ferrao, who is known as a 'Hindu-baiter' among journalists circle. Coastaldigest.com will lose its credibility if it continues to publish this kind of shit.
Muslims in Mangalore also accept the fact that Sulibele Sir is a great orator. A Muslim group had invited him to give lecture on Madrasa. Why can't we invite him? Thum Kare Tho Chamatkar, hum Kare tho balatkar?
Now it is 100% clear the rss chaddi planning to insurt their nose in respective NRIs cultral actuvites. will not allow them to suceed in communal agenda. This is the double game of Mr Shetty. He is also a sanghi rss member now helping rss to create communal tension n to spoil our great Kannadiga unity out side India. Suggest to call UAE local leaders or any rulers family. Last month for one of hindu religious program organizers invited UAE ruling family member.
Let him come and see how Muslim country encouraging non Muslims to do business and flourish....unlike India....
Some organisation should be take this up to higher UAE authority with detailed information about Sulibele.
Online campaign, through Twitter or other social media should inform UAE authority before too late or before terrorise UAE Indians.
Sulibele will be lead to civil war between Indian communities in UAE if they allow him.
Lol.. why is he going to Muslim nation?
Kannada sangha is might be RSS's wing in Gulf country and they hold Shakhas throughout UAE on the mask of Kannada Sangha.
Sulibele is no. 2 feku and spreading hatred towards community.
