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.

If u see a beggar wallowing in the gutter, don't u dare help him, he is working off bad karma, if u help
In the heaven-hell concept, sinners go to Naraka (Hell). However, if one has bad karma, the rebirth concept says that he/she will suffer in his next birth.
How can both these theories be true when they contradict each other?
@Suresh
Thank you
its not my information, its God's word Quran says so:
Allah says: “Eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess.” [Sûrah al-A`râf: 31]

@Suresh
Vedas doesent speak about punarjanm or samskaram. It speaks about swargam and narkam.
But upanishads and bhagwat gita speaks about samskaram and punarjanm.
If there is rebirth there wouldn't been swargam and narkam
@suresh
and if one dies then his karma is passed on to next birth.
Answer: if karma pass onto the next life. There wouldn't have been swargam and narkam. But vedas says about swargam and narkam.
Punarjanm means next life and no

If it would have been re-birth. Vedas would have mentioned how many times.
But no where in vedas is mentioned how many times rebirth. Or birth
Punarjanm means next life. And not next re-birth.

PUNARJANMA’MEANS LIFE AFTER DEATH. BUT ON EARTH, BUT IN THE HEAVEN.
@Suresh
How Many Punar-janm total
LIFE AFTER DEATH IN ISLAM
1. Live once in this world and then be resurrected in the Hereafter
It is mentioned in the Qur’an
How can ye reject the faith in Allah?
Seeing that ye were without life,
And He gave you life; Then will He cause you to die,
and will He again bring you to life; And again to Him will ye return.
(Al Qur’an 2:28)
Islam states that a human being comes into this world only once, and after he dies, he is again resurrected on the day of judgement. Depending on his deeds he will either dwell in heaven i.e. Paradise or he will dwell in hell.
2. This Life is a test for the hereafter
It is mentioned in the Qur’an
He who created Death and Life,
that He may try which of you is best in deed;
And He is the exalted in Might, oft- forgiving
(Al Qur’an 67:2)
This life that we lead in this world is a test for the hereafter. If we follow the commandments of the Almighty Creator and we pass the test, we shall enter Paradise i.e., which is Eternal Bliss. If we do not follow the commandments of our creator and fail the test then we shall be put into hell.
3. Full Recompense on the Day of Judgement:
It is mentioned in the Qur’an
Every soul shall have a test of death.
And only on the Day of Judgment shall
you be paid your full recompense.
Only he who is saved far from the fire and admitted to the Garden
will have attained the object (of life).
For the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.
(Al Qur’an 3:185)

@suresh
The dietary fiber content in raw vegetables, Is very hard to digest, leading to symptoms such as stomach pain and gas. Cooking makes the fiber in vegetables easier to digest.

@True Indian, U say science has proven meat is hard to digest, at last you agreed to my point, Its the vegetarian foods that's easiest to digest, no problem even if u eat it raw or cooked.
@True Indian, For you it seems like the most important part of body is a pointed teeth and not the brain. Actually you are giving emphasis on meat and teeth, but do you know the scientific explanation you are giving also tells that humans never knew about
@suresh
Science has proven that. Pork is one of the most difficult to digest.
@suresh
Good to see that u some what agreeing my point. God knows that human being cannot digest raw food, they have to cook, thats why he has given 2 legs and 2 hands. Or else he would have given us four legs.
Tigers teeth is all pointed
@True Indian, your logic is God gave pointed teeth you have to eat like animals eat, then going by same logic why don't you eat RAW flesh of animals,? I tell you becoz god has given animals the intestines and enzymes to digest RAW flesh. Can you use your
@rahul
Not only pork, the animal which eats non-veg, is not allowed to eat.
@Rahul
Better Meats to Eat
Instead of “the other white meat”, let’s look at some meats that are protein-rich and known to be health-promoting. I’m talking about high quality protein that is not only tasty but very nutritious.
@RAHUL.
We Don't eat Pork (Suvvar)because, it is the only animal on earth, which eats its own shit. we are not shit eater.
Now science has proved that, this is the only animal which carries lot of diseases.
This animal go
I really don't Understand ur Logic.
God has given Pointed as well as flat teeth, To eat Veg and Non-Veg.
If he wanted to eat Only veg, Why did he Give us Pointed teeth. He would have given Flat teeth Only.
If God has no problem, Why u people have Problems.
True Indian To sum up all, we have acquired most perfect body is. Human form only after being born and dead thousand of times in to different creatures. our human life is there to come out of this life and death cycle and attain moksha merging with god, just like water has to merge into sea. so the purpose of eating food is to keep our body and soul together and not for sense gratification. just for tongue enjoyment why do we need to eat meat. Human life is meant for Austerity, purify our existence,and develop love for god. As told in scriptures 1 no meat eating, 2 No gambling, 3 No intoxication ( not even coffee and tea), 4 No illicit sex ( sex outside marriage) By following these 4 principles we are freeing yourself from karmic bondage reactions. In the end I would say Lead a religious life , pray 5 times a day, refrain from sinful activities, mercy, cleanliness, austerity and truthfulness.
True Indian, Hindus offering animal sacrifice at Kali temple. For those Tamasic people who cannot give up Meat, for them on Amavasya day. they have option they have to take lesser animal like goat, take it outside village. where no other people around and they chant \ MAM SA KHADATITI MAMSAH\" i.e whatever I am doing to you, you can do to me in my next life. So when the animal is sacrificed this mantra is recited in his ears, You are giving your life, so in your next life you will get an opportunity of becoming human being. And I who am killing you now will become an animal, and you kill me. So one day the person will wake up and stop this."
True Indian, Things which we eat are mostly fruits, vegetables, fruits are grown by plant to be eaten so the birds, animals eat it and spread the seeds far and wide for reproduce. Just like a banyan tree has millions of seeds falling on ground but it doesn't grow into new plant. why?, coz The fruit has to be eaten by a bird, pass into the birds intestine and only when the bird droppings generate into a new plant. Even food grains are never cut when they are green. Harvested only when they die and become brown. So where is the sin. we have to perform pooja to a tree if it has to cut down otherwise it amounts to a great Sin.
@True Indian, Less painful for plants too, you can go for Halal cutting of fruits, vegetables and plants in a Halal way, as you said its less painful for animals, so it works same with plants too. Let's have Halal vegetables more Eco friendly.
@True Indian, Now people have become more aware about Dairy Industries. Due to this awareness, Soya milk, Tofu,coconut milk are becoming popular.

@suresh.
Question
You have to choose your food which is less harming, less painful,
Answer
Then i think. U have to go for halal foods. Which has no pain at all. Plants still feel pain.
@TRUE INDIAN,
If an animal dies its baby lives like orphan, the person who made this baby an orphan is a sinner.
If a plant is cut, it grows new one and its seeds (baby plant ) also grow into new plant. here no sin is committed.
Regar
@Suresh
Plants have lesser life than animals, they can grow new one, but animals if you cut them they die.

But if it's die, its baby will grow. And in islam, Even milking Cow or goat is not allowed to slaughter, After it
@Suresh
Worship him alone the Creator and not his creation.
then it will be like u Worshipping me and iam worshipping u. Because God has created u and me, To worship u and me has no logic at all.
@TRUE INDIAN,

Whats the use of zam-zam & your holy stone from heaven, when you say there is only one unseen god.
