Bloodshed in Rawalpindi – 60th anniversary

July 10, 2007.

Pakistani army is now carrying out an operation to flush out terrorists in LAL MASJID (Red Mosque) in Rawalpindi. Scores are already dead and wounded. There are women and children inside who have sworn to die rather than surrender to authorities. This is the MILITANT side of ISLAM, the so-called religion of peace.

Ironically, it is the same city where my grandfather and other relatives used to live. They were prosperous and had beautiful houses in Mohalla Anand Pura in Gawal Mandi. But that Anandpura was destined to be drowned in the blood of innocent Hindus and Sikhs when fanatic Muslims destroyed the peace of city and carried out complete ethnic cleansing of villages around Rawalpindi. The scale of Hindu massacre can be guessed from the fact that 80 relatives of the Sikh Akali leader, Master Tara Singh were butchered in the most brutal manner by the Muslims who were expecting Pakistan to be born within a few weeks time. Countless women and girls were abducted and raped, their fathers and brothers killed in front of their eyes.

The Rawalpindi massacre was carried out by fanatics of ALL INDIA MUSLIM LEAGUE who earlier, in August 1946, carried out similar massacre of Hindus in the Noakhali District of Bengal in order to give FORCE to their demand for separate homeland for the INDIAN Muslims, to be called Pakistan.

When our leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma MK Gandhi saw the naked SWORD OF ISLAM dripping with blood, they consented to signing the UNCONDUIRTIONAL SURRENDER of five provinces. Government of India, that has been under ONE PARTY since then, has suppressed the facts behind Partition by merely calling it “Independence” from the British rulers.

The force and fury created and generated at that time did not confine itself to the borders of Pakistan but SPILLED out and OVERFLOWED into Kashmir. Within weeks of celebrating Independence, the State of Pakistan launched an invasion that wiped out the Hindus and Sikhs in North Kashmir. The fate of minorities in towns like Gulmarg and Muzaffarabad ought to be recalled and brought to the notice of modern generation of Indians.

The naked fury and force of ISLAM that is visible today in Rawalpindi would have been directed towards the rest of India and Kashmir had the Allied not constrained General Musharraf and the Pakistan Armed Forces.
