Who ruled India for 150 years? Anglo Saxon British or British Jewry?

THE DRUG RUNNERS OF INDIA--- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

THE HONOURABLE PARSI  OPIUM  DRUG  RUNNERS OF MUMBAI

YES,  MOST OF  THE FABULOUSLY RICH BOMBAY PARSIS IN THE 19TH CENTURY , WHEN INDIA WAS UNDER THE BRITISH RULE WERE DRUG RUNNERS.  
THEY HAD THE GOOD SENSE TO INVEST EVERYTHING IN APPRECIATING PRIME LAND THEY SECURED FROM THE GRATEFUL BRITISH --AT THROW AWAY PRICES, AND TO BUILD TIMELESS PHILANTHROPIC INSTITUTIONS. ALL OF THEM HAVE THEIR NAMES ALLOTTED TO PRINCIPAL STREETS OF MUMBAI.
THESE HONOURABLE FOLKS PAY IT MONEY TO GET RID OF THEIR NAMES OF THEIR FOREFATHERS FROM THE INTERNET, ON  A REGULAR BASIS.
All of them are founders of the HSBC bank in 1865, at Hong Kong. They are also the first FREE MASON lodge members of India.

What follows is authentic information dug out from the records of Jardine and Matheson correspondence by letters , and Chinese verbally. Those days there was NO email or telex. Letters and manifests have to be burnt, if it should not leave a trail.

The British East India Company in 1750 started cultivating Opium in Bengal and Bihar to finance its own private army of 1.5 lak soldiers  . As a result there were many famines and deaths in India due to lack of food. 
By 1790 they established an monopoly on Opium trade – and poppy growers in Indian could sell only to the East India Company.



Th East India company owned by Jews Rothschild family was just a front for the Queen. She needed the money to prevent the Empire from becoming bankrupt , as she planned to expand  colonial rule. 
Britain could no longer afford to buy tea from China in exchange for Silver. Opium was the free and easy option. Thousands of Bengali , Bihari and Malva  Indian farmers were forced to grow Opium .
The British queen Victoria was the biggest drug trafficker in the 19th century.  Britain made drug  addicts out of 10 million Chinese.  Opium is highly addictive , and heavy users last just 5 years. It makes a entire race passive , with no will to work. Opium was banned in China since nearly 100 years before this.
It was Warren Hastings , the first Governor General of India’s , idea to first traffic drugs to China in 1780.
Even Queen Victoria used Opium ( Laudanum ) , and records exist in the Royal Apothecary at Balmoral, as to how many times Opium  was passed on to the royal palace. Gladstone openly took Laudanum ( opium + alcohol in ratio of 1:12 ). A lot of British noblemen were Opium eaters.
The Free Mason Lodges of Britain and USA have their origins in the opium trade, which made them fabulously rich—and they could buy the unlimited power.
NOW I WILL TALK ABOUT THE INDIAN SCENE.
In India too we had a similar power brokers. They were the Parsis who came to India as refugees from Iran ,and till the Opium trade started were petty shop keepers and garbage ( raddhi  like empty bottles and papers ) buyers/ sellers.
These Parsis made fantastic fortunes by being middle men of the British who trusted them , as they were not proper Indians, and had no scruples when it came to prostituting their souls.
In 1857 the British crown orchestrated the Indian Sepoy Mutiny or The first war of Independence, by provoking the superstitious  Indian with pig and cow lard. After that the British Empire under Lord Palmerston just took over India—they did NOT require a front like East India company with a private army any more.

And Queen Victoria officially became empress of India..
The Opium trade in India was controlled by the Parsis .  Some of them also started the Indigenous shipping and the Wadia Mazagaon /Sassoon docks.



The King pin of the Parsi lot was JJ or Sir Jamsedjee Jeejeebhoy ( 1753 to 1859 ). He shared his spoils with the British , was their middle-man, and did their dirty work—so they knighted him in 1842 –and made him a Baron in 1857. 


He partnered Jardine and Matheson in HongKong to be the leaders of the biggest drug cartel in the world. He was  one of the 6 directors of the Bank of Bombay, in addition to owning ships, agencies, brokering houses,  and commercial clearing houses.
JJ was born in India in 1783, to a impoverished weaver in Yatha Yahu Vairyo Muhalla near Crawford market Mumbai. --and soon became an orphan. Till the age of 16 he had NO formal education. Then he burst into the big league of drug running. He visited China on East India company ships. He was also called Battliwala, as he lived with his uncle Framjee who dealt in recycled garbage bottles  .
At the age of 20 he married Batliwala’s 10 year old daughter Avibhai.
 He was the first to be knighted from India and made a Baron, by a grateful queen Victoria—as he held the moolah.
JJ was initiated into the opium trade by another Parsi by the name of Hirji Readymoney. Hirji has small ships smuggling opium to Canton in 1755.  His sudden wealth and splurge earned him the nickname Ready money.  Soon Pestonji Bomanji Wadia from Parel , Cowasji, Petit, Patel, Mehta , Modi, Cama ,Tata etc joined them .  Wadia built the Cusrow baug, Lal Baug, Navroz baug and Ness baug.  

See "freedom fighter" Madame Cama below. Her lawyer husband Rustom Cama and her Patel parents were in the drug business.


JJ made several trips to Canton by ship , with his chinese servants. He became close friends with Jardine in 1805 on a trip to China.  Parsis monopolized the Malva opium. On one of his trips he met Matheson who was being held captive by the French in China.
In 1859 Nussarwanji Tata floated the firm Jamsetji and Ardeshir in Hong Kong with two other partners to import opium.
A Bagdadhi jew by the name of Sassoon (blood relative of Rothschild family ) gave the Parsis stiff competition in the drug trade. He built Sassoon docks, Elphinstone college, Sassoon library  and Flora fountain. 

One of our Ex- Naval Chief of Staff Admiral Samson is a Bagdhadi jew. By 1860 Sassoon left the Parsis behind as the Rothschild Jews favoured another blood relative Jew for the secretive and cut throat Opium trade,  rather than Ex-Persians.

The first Opium war started because Sassoons opium was confiscated by the Chinese emperor. An outraged Sassoon had the clout and the arm twisting ability  to force the Queen to battle for him. He could expose any high ranking British authority or Royalty —as they were hand in glove with him.

After losing this war China had to cede Hong Kong to the British for them to have a launching pad for drugs—this was run by the Triad drug cartel ( all free masons ).
Wadia came all the way to my hometown to buy Malabar teak for building ships for the queen at Mazagaon docks .  


THE WORLD FAMOUS CUTTY SARK BUILT IN 1869 WAS A  OPIUM SMUGGLER, MADE OF TEAK WOOD FROM MY HOMETOWN-- CALICUT OF MALABAR.  This ship was the Concorde of the sea -- could never be overtaken and pirated! She was on the Shanghai tea run.






By the age of 39 JJ was a billionaire by todays standards.  By 1800 Parsis owned half of Bombay—they invested in land.
As he became older he became respectable and built all the JJ buildings of Mumbai—JJ arts, JJ architecture, JJ commercial art , JJ hospital, Mahim causeway  etc. See JJ's picture below.


He was close to the British governor of Bombay Sir Robert Grant for whom built the Grant Hospital, for diplomatic protection .  No wonder the British loved him.
After the opium trade went PHUTT they shifted to cotton trade and became respectable mill owners.
Jardine Matheson group is still the Largest Conglomerate group in Hong Kong. We all know who controls Mumbai . Jardine and Matheson had met in 1818 at Canton.
American Elihu Yale used Chinese opium money to fund Yale university.
THE DRUG TRAFFICKING DONE BY THE WEST  , DWARFS THE PUNY COLUMBIAN CARTEL.


Some of these drug runner statues are sprinkled across Mumbai. To show that they are still highly revered philanthropists, the Parsis keep fresh magazines/ newspapers for selling, and then take photos, when it appears that a well dressed man is indeed bowing to the statue in reverence.




But in the 1830s and 40s’ they also owned and developed many of Bombay’s quintessential suburbs.  Cursetji Maneckji owned Anik,  Dhakji Dadaji owned Versova,  Framji Cowasji (Powai estate), Jamestji Bomanji (Vile Parle, Juhu); Cursetji Cowasji (Goregaum); Ratanji Edulji (Ghatkopar).
MNS the Marathi Manoos torchbearers should realise that Bihari Opium also built Mumbai, and so they have a right to live there. 

The Bengal opium centre was Rangpur, ( in Bangladesh  now ).  

Raja Ram Mohan Roy was the British East India Company resident accountant for Opium accounts--from where he embezelled money.
Dwarkendranath Tagore (  the grandfather of Rabindranath Tagore from Calcutta ) ,  Raja Ram Mohan Roy  ( Rangpur, Bangladesh )  and Ghanshyam Birla ( from Calcutta ) were some of the drug trafficking agents and stooges of  Rothschild in the East part of India. 

In 1910, Sir Sarupchand Hukumchand , a front for Rothschild , bought opium for Rs 25 lakh and sold it for Rs 2 crore, a seven-fold profit.  This was a huge amount in those days.  With the profit he went into textile and jute mills..  And in those days you cannot get knighted without Rothschild’s approval.  
His son Sir Seth Hukum Chand Jain too was knighted and was known as the “cotton prince” of India .  In his later life, Seth Hukam Chand gave up wearing of expensive clothes, jewellery studded with precious jems etc., and switched to simple clothes, and embraced spiritualism.





BITS Pilani Univeristy was founded by Ghanshyam Das Birla using Opium drug money in 1929-- as was the fashion , in those days. GD Birla was knighted by a grateful Rothscild at the age of 32.  He was known to tell Gandhiji what to do, next. 

Parsi opium drug runner SIR Cowasjee Jehangir Readymoney made Elphinstone College. He also made a big part of Mumbai University. See his picture below. He got knighted for making a fantastic fountain at Regents parl London.
Opium drug runner Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata made the Indian Institute of Science in 1911. Opium drug runner Hormusjee Modi made Hongkong University in 1911.
 
There are thousands of Opium records in US universities funded by Opium money like Yale University, Columbia University , Princeton University, Harward University, Carnegie Melon University , Chicago University, John Hopkins School of Pubic health, Rockfeller University and Ivy League universities, still being exhumed and researched

Let us NOT be under any illusion that building prestigious colleges is a philantropic exercise. Say, if you own a prestigious Medical College , many powerful members of the society, like politicians, police, judges, income tax officers will want to get free admission cirumventing merit-- this is how you grab the ultimate intoxicating power.

Bottom line: All said and done, Indians are grateful to the likes of TATA , who have proved to be patriotic and exemplary  Indians .
The current generation will NOT be aware of what their forefathers did. In any case TATA has atoned the sins of their forefathers by being philanthropists of the first order -- with an exemplary core value of corporate ethics.
Note: Read my post DIRTY SECRETS OF BOSTON TEA PARTY dated 18th Dec 2010,  to know the honourable drug runners of USA.  

Prepare to be shell shocked !!

Grace and peace!

  1. Captain,

    A question for you. You say that Opium is heavily addictive and the addicts cannot work properly. Yet you say that the Queen Victoria and British noble men were also opium addicts.
    Are these both statements not contradictory ?
    How come the British nobles survived ?
    Are you favour of ban of opium ?

  2. hi,

    when are are under the influence of opium , you can get creative. like the writers, rockstars and musicians.

    when you do it in excess, then you waste yourself.

    the question is how accountable are you?

    today you have sonia gandhi-- wielding enormous power, yet she is NOT accountable or responsible. she can afford to have opium, as there are people who will correct her, if she does something wrong.

    can a brain surgeon, or a aircraft pilot take opium?

    NO!

    world war 2 took so many lives because churchill was under opium influence, using suppositories.

    nobody including the king dared to tell him anything, as he was rothschild's man.

    Yes, your information is nice, but the TATAs have provided exemplary employee benefits(I don't know about Birla/ BATA) like PF, gratuity, Job timing-limits etc. So they should not be said "humre hi khoon se".

  4. hi shubhankar,

    yes--

    the current generation of TATAS have understood the meaning of social responsibility.

    yet after listening to the nira radia tapes--you begin to wonder.

    when my son was doing his ME in cornell, ratan tata had gone there with a HUGE donation, as he is ex-cornell.

    the indian students were evry excited. but they got cold water on their heads , as ratan did NOT bother to meet the indians.

    so you begin to wonder again.

  7. Hello,

    Very well, I will probably be sending you several messages in the coming weeks then. What I would like to know for starters is, what dirt have you on the Premji family, of Wipro fame? My theory is that the call centers of India are money laundering operations for the Asian drug cartels. Any reference that you could share with me there would be HUGELY appreciated. I will be researching through a list of the India call centers I have found and afterwords, will send further messages about the names of the principals of those companies as developments warrant. I will also be investigating the call centers, and there owners in neighboring Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well.
    By the way, what tipped me off to the call centers over there being money laundering operations is this, they charge so little money of there international clients, that there is no logical way that they could stay in business at those prices. Then I looked at a map of India and saw that India is situated right smack between the south east Asia golden triangle and the Afghanistan-Pakistan golden crescent. It would strike me as quite obvious that India is a HUGE transit zone for the big boys in those neighborhoods. All that money has to be laundered somewhere, right? What better place to do so then in a call center in India, or one of its neighbors on the sub continent.
    Anyhow, looking forward to working with you here. If you want, I would love to send you a book when I have it done. I will leave that to you to instruct me as to how to send it through a mail drop service (prefereably in a town a good distance from where you live, and addressed to a company or someone you trust), as I would agree with you, it is better for us both that we dont know each others exact whereabouts.

    Thanks,

    1. Hi reynaldo,

      azim premji does NOT have a drug cartel connection.

      he is a gujarati muslim from india.

      his father mohammed premji was a businessman and as kid we ate kisan food products of WIPRO( western india ).

      in 1966, when mohammed died his son azim came back from usa where he was studying at stanford university.

      in 1977 indira gandhi got defeated in elections --

      two jewish companies IBM and COKE were KICKED out unceremoniously, by our then industries minister george fernandes.

      i guess IBM "lobbied" too much with the defeated congress party of indira.

      later when george fernandes became india's defence minister they strip searched him at USA airports.

      this cannot be done to an indian defence minister , who buys billions of military hardware, unless powerful forces wanted to humiliate him .

      IBM left behind a huge competent work force in computers -- and azim premji stepped into IBM shoes by 1979.

      now if you are intelligent, you dont step in just like that into IBM shoes -- where rothschild is a controlling force.

      even today evelyn rothschild is a director at IBM.

      i have spoken to one british mercenary soldier , who provided security to my ship in somalia waters. at night in the darkness of the bridge much inormation is exchanged.

      he worked for IBM. you must have heard of black water etc

      if you tread on IBM toes, they will get you.

      back to azim premji-

      he sourced computers from sentinel computer corp and his IT company WIPRO took off.

      there are enormous profits to be made as india has the IT brainpower.

      for example 2012 london olympics IT stuff was totally from india.

      today IBM is back in india and i guess they have a workforce of 80,000 in India .

      WIPRO has 135,000 employees and a presence in 54 countries --and they rake in the moolah, without having to resort of any shady deals.

      but then i suggest you research on your own-- the azim premji --- rothschild connection. it exists!!

  8. Dear Sir,
    Thank you!!! This gets more and more interesting as time goes on. WOW, I am pleased with what I am finding now. You have proven one thing, WIPRO is connected with the global elite. I will bet you though that Azims ancestors had drug cartel connections. How else could they have come by such huge amounts of money? I will research into the Premji Rothschild connection in the coming days. Also, I am going to be sending some more names to you, so stay tuned.

  12. Dear Sir,

    Your posts publish lots of interesting and trend setting information, which would be surely absent in standard historical books of a subject or a period.

    May you please disclose the source of your obtaining peronal information with respect to historical personalities ? For instance, as you have said that Raja Rammohan Roy, Dwarkanath Tagore etc made money from opium dealings or Churchill himself used to take opium? How could these information derive so accuracy or apropriation ?

    Did you receive these information from any confidential historical files, journals, papers kept under custody of any governmental bodies and which common public cannot access easily ?

    Would be thankful if you share the sources.

    1. hi dipankar,

      these truths have been well researched.

      the white man wrote indian history.

      nobody is willing to change it.

      if you want to pass IAS, you still have to write in the exams that blue eyed and blonde aryans invaded indian , drove the dravidians south and wrote our priceless vedas.

      within 20 years , hitler will be praised and gandhi will be demonised ,in the main stream media too.

      right now the main stream media is controlled by big brother.

      i want you to take mahabharata and read it. allow your conscience to guide you. who are the villains?

      history is written by the victors. nothing succeeds like success.

      we still worship gandhi as the apostle of ahimsa, who told that indian must never kill the british invaders , but we must kill the germans.

      so in World war 1 , 1.1 lakh indian soldiers died , and in WW2 2.4 lakh indian soldiers died.

      are we stupid?

When Modi deciphers Gandhi - By FPJ Bureau - The Free Press Journal, Mumbai, India

http://freepressjournal.in/when-modi-deciphers-gandhi/

The Freepress Journal

When Modi deciphers Gandhi

He has used his old trick to introduce a connection between his unabashed personal desire to be the prime minister with a 63-year-old Gandhian goal


 
There are enough indicators in Modi’s track record to assess the ruthless manner with which he deals with his political opponents. Indeed, there is a long list of persons who have suffered thus at his hands in Gujarat. Besides, this approach is completely in sync with the political approach of the Sangh Parivar that has pushed for his propulsion to the national centre-stage

One of the qualities of the Gujarat chief minister, Narendra Modi, that endears him to his loyal fan following is the panache with which he delivers the punchline in his speeches. In his quest for the prime minister’s post, he has discovered that he cannot get this coveted prize unless he finishes the Congress Party. So, he exhorts his followers to create an India that is free of it. For those who are believers in his credo, this is an endearing thought.

In one of his customary oratorical flourishes, he has drawn a link between a concept enunciated by the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi at the time of Independence in 1947 to his current quest for power. Let us refresh our memory about the father of nation’s idea. He had said: ”Though split into two, India having attained political independence through means provided by the Indian National Congress, the Congress ,in its present shape and form, i.e., as a propaganda vehicle and parliamentary machine, has outlived its use. India has still to attain social, moral and economic independence in terms of its seven hundred thousand villages as distinguished from its cities and towns. 

The struggle for the ascendancy of civil over military power is bound to take place in India’s progress towards its democratic goal. It must be kept out of unhealthy competition with political parties and communal bodies. For these and other similar reasons, the A. I. C .C. resolves to disband the existing Congress organization and flower into a Lok Sevak Sangh under the following rules, with power to alter them as occasion may demand.”
 
Now we can be generous and excuse the Gujarat chief minister if he has not gone into the fine print of this statement, and has simply latched on to the idea that the Congress had outlived its use in 1947. Putting two and two together, he has cleverly envisioned that if something was not done in the wake of Independence, then in a spirit of the cliché better late then never, it would be good to achieve the ‘ Gandhian goal to finish the Congress,’ now and by that logic, help him realise his dream of becoming the prime minister. We can see that Modi has used his old trick to introduce this connection between his unabashed personal desire to be the prime minister with a 63-year-old Gandhian goal. This is a well-practised technique. Much in the same way he used to tell his Gujarat audiences in 2002 that if he won, they would celebrate, and if he lost, then Mian Musharraf would be celebrating. This clearly skips the reality. Neither was Musharraf a factor in the Gujarat elections, nor is the late Mahatma Gandhi much of a revered figure for the Sangh Parivar that they should mourn for his unfulfilled dream. After all, this was not the only dream the father of nation had, which has remained unfulfilled.

But this distortion is not the only problem when Modi deciphers Gandhi for us. All of us have lofty, impractical ideas that we keep expressing. The beauty of the Mahatma was that he was a prolific writer and most of his thoughts have survived in the collected works. He used to think aloud, and this idea that the Congress should disband itself and transform into a Lok Sevak Sangh to ensure that ” the struggle for the ascendancy of civil over military power ….India’s progress towards its democratic goal… must be kept out of unhealthy competition with political parties and communal bodies” makes it clear that the nature of the party’s basic commitments was not to change.

But when Modi talks of a Congress free- India, he is clearly rooting for dictatorship. He is trying to sell a dream that should he emerge victorious in the 2014 elections, as his convinced supporters tell us, then there would be no opposition party. He carefully chooses his words, he is making it clear from the roooftops that he wants a Congress free-India. He is not suggesting or asking the people to merely defeat the Congress in the polls, but he is exhorting his supporters to ‘finish the Congress.” He is actually talking of the end of democracy through a ballot, and this is essential fascism.

It would be injurious to our democratic health, if we condone this excess as a mere election rhetoric. There are enough indicators in Modi’s track record to assess the ruthless manner with which he deals with his political opponents. Indeed, there is a long list of persons who have suffered thus at his hands in Gujarat. Besides, this approach is completely in sync with the political approach of the Sangh Parivar that has pushed for his propulsion to the national centrestage. It is not for nothing that the Sangh is described as fascist and fundamentalist.

Interestingly, democratic elections have been held in this country for the last six decades. The Congress has been one of the major parties that has been in the fray right from the first general elections. No one, including some of its fiercest opponents like the socialists Ram Manohar Lohia and George Fernandes have ever used these expressions in their anti-Congress discourse. This is because they were all anti-Congress, but they were all committed to the values of democracy.

The delicacy of the language is the essence of democratic discourse. You have every right to be critical, but then there is no need to be inimical or venomous. The problem when Modi deciphers Gandhi is that the soul of the discourse is not in the decoding process. When Gandhi wanted the Congress to disband, he was setting a higher purpose for it, but when Modi seks the same goal, he is guided by narrow personal goals of political power. Gandhi wanted the Congress to shun power for a higher goal, but with Modi it is quite the opposite. This is something that reminds one about the devil quoting the scripture.

Subramanian Swamy : BJP desperately needs a major communal riot or a terrorist outrage or a Pakistani Army action --- to make a wave

BJP desperately needs a major communal riot or a terrorist outrage or a Pakistani Army action --- come election time, to make a wave for it to consolidate its Hindu vote bank from 27% to over 40% --- so says BJP’s latest mastermind, Subramanian Swamy in an interview with Bloomberg TV.

Excerpts:

Live Mint – Bloomberg TV - (September 26, 2013)

Subramanian Swamy /BJP:

“ ….BJP should strive for an absolute majority on its own. It can be done by a clean sweep of the Northern states … there is an issue in this country which is troubling lot of people … that the Hindus are being put up  on. There is a lot of consolidation going on. Already BJP has got 27%. If this consolidation comes, some event happens, something which Pakistan does or some terrorist activity, suddenly you will find that there will be groundswell and the BJP could easily get majority.”

Needless to add, like Muzaffarnagar, there can be a made-to-order terrorist attack to create that groundswell. Or even Pakistan could oblige with a wink from their foreign collaborator. People now should know that the blood, be that Muslim or Hindu, will be on the hands and face of the winner that is so desperate to grab the national kitty.

Hyderabad 1948: India's hidden massacre - Mike Thomson - BBC

 
This BBC report does not give any hint of the British colonialists' and their officials' role in the entire sordid affair. Objectivity demands BBC should be brave enough to record the negative role British played in the partition of the country and the subterfuge and conspiracies, that they continue to plant even today.

Hyderabad 1948: India's hidden massacre

By Mike Thomson Presenter, Document, Radio 4



The  Jewel of The Nizams 'Falaknuma Palace' which was the former residence of Nizam Mehaboob Ali Khan in the old city area of Hyderabad

When India was partitioned in 1947, about 500,000 people died in communal rioting, mainly along the borders with Pakistan. But a year later another massacre occurred in central India, which until now has remained clouded in secrecy.

In September and October 1948, soon after independence from the British Empire, tens of thousands of people were brutally slaughtered in central India.

Some were lined up and shot by Indian Army soldiers. Yet a government-commissioned report into what happened was never published and few in India know about the massacre. Critics have accused successive Indian governments of continuing a cover-up.

The massacres took place a year after the violence of partition in what was then Hyderabad state, in the heart of India. It was one of 500 princely states that had enjoyed autonomy under British colonial rule.

When independence came in 1947 nearly all of these states agreed to become part of India.

But Hyderabad's Muslim Nizam, or prince, insisted on remaining independent. This refusal to surrender sovereignty to the new democratic India outraged the country's leaders in New Delhi.

After an acrimonious stand-off between Delhi and Hyderabad, the government finally lost patience.

Historians say their desire to prevent an independent Muslim-led state taking root in the heart of predominantly Hindu India was another worry.

Members of the powerful Razakar militia, the armed wing of Hyderabad's most powerful Muslim political party, were terrorising many Hindu villagers.

This gave the Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, the pretext he needed. In September 1948 the Indian Army invaded Hyderabad.

In what was rather misleadingly known as a "police action", the Nizam's forces were defeated after just a few days without any significant loss of civilian lives. But word then reached Delhi that arson, looting and the mass murder and rape of Muslims had followed the invasion.

Determined to get to the bottom of what was happening, an alarmed Nehru commissioned a small mixed-faith team to go to Hyderabad to investigate.

It was led by a Hindu congressman, Pandit Sunderlal. But the resulting report that bore his name was never published.

Historian Sunil Purushotham from the University of Cambridge has now obtained a copy of the report as part of his research in this field.

At each one they carefully chronicled the accounts of Muslims who had survived the appalling violence: "We had absolutely unimpeachable evidence to the effect that there were instances in which men belonging to the Indian Army and also to the local police took part in looting and even other crimes.

"During our tour we gathered, at not a few places, that soldiers encouraged, persuaded and in a few cases even compelled the Hindu mob to loot Muslim shops and houses."

The team reported that while Muslim villagers were disarmed by the Indian Army, Hindus were often left with their weapons. The mob violence that ensued was often led by Hindu paramilitary groups.

In other cases, it said, Indian soldiers themselves took an active hand in the butchery: "At a number of places members of the armed forces brought out Muslim adult males from villages and towns and massacred them in cold blood."

The investigation team also reported, however, that in many other instances the Indian Army had behaved well and protected Muslims.

The backlash was said to have been in response to many years of intimidation and violence against Hindus by the Razakars.

In confidential notes attached to the Sunderlal report, its authors detailed the gruesome nature of the Hindu revenge: "In many places we were shown wells still full of corpses that were rotting. In one such we counted 11 bodies, which included that of a woman with a small child sticking to her breast. "

And it went on: "We saw remnants of corpses lying in ditches. At several places the bodies had been burnt and we would see the charred bones and skulls still lying there."
The Sunderlal report estimated that between 27,000 to 40,000 people lost their lives.

No official explanation was given for Nehru's decision not to publish the contents of the Sunderlal report, though it is likely that, in the powder-keg years that followed independence, news of what happened might have sparked more Muslim reprisals against Hindus.

It is also unclear why, all these decades later, there is still no reference to what happened in the nation's schoolbooks. Even today few Indians have any idea what happened.

The Sunderlal report, although unknown to many, is now open for viewing at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library in New Delhi.

There has been a call recently in the Indian press for it to be made more widely available, so the entire nation can learn what happened.

It could be argued this might risk igniting continuing tensions between Muslims and Hindus.

"Living as we are in this country with all our conflicts and problems, I wouldn't make a big fuss over it," says Burgula Narasingh Rao, a Hindu who lived through those times in Hyderabad and is now in his 80s.

"What happens, reaction and counter-reaction and various things will go on and on, but at the academic level, at the research level, at your broadcasting level, let these things come out. I have no problem with that."

Muslim body slaps Rs. 10-cr defamation suit on city police - By Mustafa Shaikh, Mumbai Mirror, a Times of India publication

Jamat-e Islami Hind has taken a very correct, though long delayed action against rogue elements in Police and Media, who have played havoc with the lives and reputation of 200 million Indian Muslims, and had long had a field day without any accountability for their acts of commission and omission. Jamat action is very proper and legal and would get the judiciary on their side, as and when their stand is vindicated. Jamate Islami has shown a right direction to all other Muslim and Human Rights organizations to approach courts to get their grievances addressed, as both executive and legislation are patently against them and their rightful causes.

Muslim body slaps Rs. 10-cr defamation suit on city police

Muslim body slaps Rs. 10-cr defamation suit on city police
JIH members addressing the media on their case against Mumbai police for the ‘female jihadis’ memo
The Jamat-e-Islami Hind, a well-known organisation that runs more than 500 educational institutions across the country, has filed a defamation suit against the Mumbai police for allegedly linking one of its branches with terror-related activities.

The Muslim body has demanded Rs 10 crore as compensation from the city police for issuing a departmental communication stating that members of its women's wing, Girls Islamic Organisation (GIO), "were indoctrinating college girls and imparting training in jihad".

The internal circular had been leaked to the media in March.

Taufique Aslam Khan, president of JIH's Maharashtra wing, said they waited for nearly five months before taking any step as the cops had assured them that an inquiry would be launched and strict action would be taken against the person behind the leak.

"Despite assurance, we did not receive any reply from the Mumbai police. We sent them a legal notice in July. When that too did not result in any response, we decided to move the Bombay High Court," said Khan.

GIO members say theirs is one of India's largest Islamic organisations and runs 40 high schools and three junior colleges in Maharashtra. They allege the Mumbai police memo has severely dented their reputation. "Girls have stopped participating in our programmes," said Mohammad Aslam Ghazi, spokesperson of JIH's state wing.

The circular, issued by the Special Branch of Mumbai police in the third week of March, read: "The group GIO is an offshoot of the 65-year-old Jamat-e-Islami Organisation and is currently active in Kerala. The purported aim of this organisation is to make more and more Muslim women aware of their religion and the holy Quran. But the real objective of this organisation is to brainwash college and school girls and train them for jihad."

Ghazi said a delegation from GIO had met the cops in April. While they accepted that there was nothing incriminatory against Jamat's women's wing, they said they had acted based on some intelligence inputs, he said.

"Therefore, it is necessary for Mumbai police to compensate for the damages done to our peaceful organisation. The cops should have tried to keep a track on the activities of the organisation before attaching a terror tag to it," added Ghazi.

Mumbai police spokesman Satyanarayan Choudhary said, "The circular was meant to be only for the department and not for the public. As regards any inquiry into the incident, I do not have any information on it at the moment."

JIH official said they are also seeking legal opinions to take action against newspapers* that had reproduced the circular.

A Good Cop/Bad Cop comedy of Modi/Amit Shah that tries to duplicate the old Vajpayee/Advani tragedy

My comments posted on Hindustan Times webpage on Rajdeep Sardesai's article on Advani:

A Good Cop/Bad Cop comedy of Modi/Amit Shah that tries to duplicate the old Vajpayee/Advani tragedy
Barkha Dutt during one of her TV panel discussions aptly described the Modi/Amit Shah combo as a Good-Cop/Bad-Cop jugalbandi.  While Modi is posing as a national leader speaking of development, Amit Shah is concentrating on organizing communal riots and communal issues to revive sagging Hindutva interest in Mandir issues. Both are true replica of the same dual role that had characterized Vajpayee/Advani act. Vajpayee was in the meeting with BJP leaders in Lucknow, on the day prior to December 6, when Advani went to Ayodhya and Vajpayee flew west to New Delhi. Their roles in the Babri Masjid demolition drama was markedly divided and delineated to address to different constituencies even in Sangh Parivar. Nobody will be fooled by Modi/Amit Shah jugalbandi --- as both by their very persona are more Advani than Vajpayee. For Vajpayee at least Good-Cop role fitted like a glove. Modi cannot match Vajpayee role in this new jugalbandi. Modi does not have Vajpayee's dignified demeanor; nor can his past role in Gujarat genocidal riots be ever separated from his 'achievements' in the cause of strident polarizing Hindutva.
For all practical purposes Advani is sidelined in the new line-up, till he may be needed in emergencies in future.

Too soon to say goodbye

Rajdeep Sardesai   September 19, 2013
The three most influential politicians of the 1990s were Narasimha Rao, Vishwanath Pratap Singh and LK Advani. At a time when the last of the triumvirate prepares to fade into the political sunset, this may be a good moment to pause, rewind and look back at the life and times and legacy of these men who redefined politics at the turn of the century.

It would be fair to suggest that all three played their part in shaping the destiny of contemporary politics more by circumstance than conviction. If Rajiv Gandhi had not been assassinated in May 1991, one can safely assume Rao would have retired to Hyderabad as a footnote in the Congress, blotted by the memory of being the eternal procrastinator as home minister during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

VP Singh too, was just another remote-controlled Congress chief minister in the Indira-Sanjay years, till Bofors happened and transformed his persona into a tough anti-corruption crusader. And LK Advani too, was the quintessential party organisation man and would have remained so if the gates of the Babri Masjid had not been opened by the Rajiv government.

The three competing ideologies which they came to represent — market, Mandal and Mandir — were again accidentally constructed because of forces beyond them. The balance of payments crisis of 1991 left Rao with no choice but to open up the Indian economy. If VP Singh had not felt the pressure of being toppled from within the Janata Dal, he might not have pushed ahead with the implementation of the Mandal commission report.

And if the Rajiv government again had allowed a poor Muslim widow, Shahbano, her right to maintenance, it is likely that Mr Advani’s ‘minority appeasement’ politics that culminated in a rath yatra as a symbol of ‘Hindu resurgence’ might have never resonated.

The similarities don’t end there. None of the three were natural mass leaders. Rao had a very brief tenure as Andhra Pradesh chief minister and had to seek refuge in Maharashtra for a Lok Sabha ticket. VP Singh too, had limited influence in his home state of Uttar Pradesh and owed his rise to the benevolence of the Gandhi family. Advani too, has never had a ‘home’ base as such, having been elected from constituencies as varied as New Delhi and Gandhinagar. In a sense, their becoming ‘mascots’ of big ideas gave them a political relevance that their rather dour, uncharismatic personalities would never have otherwise allowed.

A sharp contrast can be drawn for example between an Advani and an AB Vajpayee. The latter was a ‘natural’ politician, a wonderful orator, skilled parliamentarian, and statesman-like leader. He had the ‘common touch’. By contrast, Advani was the strategist and ideologue, uncomfortable in public gatherings but adept at strengthening the party’s organisational base. Vajpayee may get the plaudits as a three-time prime minister, but let’s be clear: without Advani’s perseverance there would have been no alternate pole created to end Congress hegemony. If Vajpayee was a flamboyant Tendulkar-like batsman, Advani was the Dravid-like Wall of the BJP.

With their limited mass appeal, it is also no surprise that the Rao-VP-Advani troika were eventually devoured, or overtaken by their own revolutions. Having unleashed market-friendly economics, Rao was in no position to handle a family-led party that instinctively looked at a non Nehru-Gandhi leader as an outsider. It is typical of the Congress culture that the party chose to credit a bureaucrat like Manmohan Singh for the end of the licence-permit raj rather than a hardened politician like Rao. Singh was ready to be his master’s voice in sharp contrast to a Rao who was emerging as a threat to the dynasty.

VP Singh too, as an upper caste Thakur, could never compete with the rising OBC political juggernaut unleashed by the Mandalisation of north India. Once the Lalus and Mulayams had tasted power in the early 1990s, they were not going to share the power and the glory with anyone else. They had the political chutzpah and the confidence to build their own personality cults. VP, like Rao, passed away a sad, forlorn figure, aware that he was on the wrong side of a history that he had helped create.

And so to Advani, the man who has outlived his contemporaries. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Advani mentored a generation of young BJP leaders, including a certain Narendra Modi, who even was his charioteer during his Ayodhya rath yatra. Cut in the Hindutva cloth, some of these leaders showed the aptitude and the appetite to sharpen the ideological base which Advani had nurtured by adding the mantra of good governance.
None did it better than the Gujarat chief minister. Hindu nationalism plus ‘suraj’ (good governance): why would a younger, more restive BJP rank and file not back a new poster boy and discard the old warhorse? A demographic shift necessitated a political coup.
Ironically, it was to protect the original Hindutva constituency that Advani had chosen to insist on Modi continuing in Gandhinagar in the aftermath of the 2002 riots. Removing Modi at the time, felt the BJP’s ideologue, would send the wrong message to the party’s cadres. Among the many ‘what ifs’ in Indian political history we can add one more: what if during the BJP’s national executive in Panaji in 2002, the BJP had chosen to follow Vajpayee’s ‘rajdharma’ and change the Gujarat chief minister instead of following the Advani line? In his more reflective moments, the eternal political yatri must surely ask himself that question.

Post-script: Most pundits have been writing political obituaries of Advani. The fact is, similar epitaphs were written of Vajpayee in the early 90s after the rise of Advani. And yet, in 1996, coalition compulsions made the ‘inclusive’ Vajpayee the BJP’s prime ministerial choice. What if the NDA doesn’t get the 272-plus, a Modi candidacy promises? Will there be another final twist in the Advani saga?
