partition of the motherland Communist kept their support to Muslim Fundamentalist They also
"worked together with IUML to create a new Muslim majority district in Malabar and named it
Malapuram"(Communism in Indian Politics by Bhabani Sen Gupta, Columbia University Press, 1972,Page
188). Fundamentalist Muslim in return helped communist in Bengal "Muslim masses have in a big way
swung towards the United Front especially to the CPI (M)"(Communism in Indian Politics by Bhabani Sen
Gupta, Columbia University Press, 1972,Page 247).
In order to garner the Muslim vote bank support for electoral victory in West Bengal Marxist
government changed the school text books In 1989 the West Bengal Secondary Board under a Marxist
Government issued a circular dated 28 April 1989 (Number Syl/89/1) which recommended the deletion
of most discussions about the medieval period because it was too controversial" (Islamisation of
Pakistan by Y.C.Ross, 2003, New Delhi, page 16-17).
Let me quote you some examples (as pointed out by Chaugle jee)
1. This interest (of Hindu radicalism in Italian fascism) was commonly shared in
Maharashtra, and must have inspired B.S. Moonje's trip to Italy in 1931.
2. (I)t makes sense (??) to think that the entire circle of militant Hinduism must have been
influenced by Moonje's Italian experience.
3. The influence of fascist ideology and practice must have gone far beyond the limits of the
main organizations of the Hindu militant nationalism and must have extended to the wide and
intricate net of secondary militant groups and centres of physical education or paramilitary
training.
4. The aggressive racial policy carried out by Germany must have played a fundamental role
in this shift of interest from Italy to Germany.
5. Accordingly it makes sense to think that the organizations of militant Hinduism must have
perceived the necessity to rehabilitate their political past and re-invent a more clear-cut antiBritish stand.
In Nooranijis scheme of things she could have been a distinguished scholar but for a genuine person she
would not be. He has very tactfully used her name and quotations. Words are hers and intensions are
hiss. So the ownership of these quotations also lie with him.
In his first piece on Mahanama he has quoted the undistinguished scholar mentioned above which
alleges Mahanama and the BHU stating that . the BHU was the result of the increasing sense of
militancy in the Hindu segment of Indian society. . He (Madan Mohan Malviya) was part of a political
milieu that considered Gandhian non-violence a form of cowardice and harmful to Hindu Society
Every 12th standard book (even the ones written by left leaning intellectuals), has atleast a para or two
on the establishment of Nationalist schools for imparting nationalist education. BHU was founded at a
time when the Britishers were tyring to alienate Indians from modern sciences as they just wanted
unmindfull babus, who could follow their orders with limited application of mind. It was at this time that
the leading nationalists came up with an idea of setting up these nationalist schools. These schools with
time became temples of modern learning. Please also note that Rabindranath Tagore was chairman first
Hony. Chairman (for life) of Bharat Kala Bhavan BHU, its Hony. Vice-Chairman was poets nephew
Silpacharya Abanindranth Tagore.
Well it is expected from a Noorani (In Arabic Noor means Light, also Noorani Tel, an Ayurvedic medicine widely used by the people
th
of North India for pain and general massage ) of such high caliber to have atleast 12 class knowledge.
Gandhiji was himself present in the opening ceremony of the Banaras Hindu University and let me quote
him here
Friends, under the influence of the matchless eloquence of Mrs. Besant who has just sat down, pray, do
not believe that our University has become a finished product, and that all the young men who are to
come to the University, that has yet to rise and come into existence, have also come and returned from it
finished citizens of a great empire. Do not go away with any such impression, and if you, the student
world to which my remarks are supposed to be addressed this evening, consider for one moment that the
spiritual life, for which this country is noted and for which this country has no rival, can be transmitted
through the lip, pray, believe me, you are wrong. You will never be able merely through the lip, to give the
message that India, I hope, will one day deliver to the world.
Gandhiji has asked the university students to lead a spiritual life, for political convenience Nooraniji may
question even Gandhi about his secular credentials.
The debate around BHU may be ended with this text from the website of BHU
Mahamana's University, the Banaras Hindu University, is no ordinary seat of learning. It was planned
with a vision in view. The University is enjoined with the national sentiment. Its contributions to the
nation building process are immense. The nation rejoices at its rise towards excellence and sheds tears of
sorrow at its failing. . Travelling down the memory lane, one gets a vivid glimpse of the Mahamana, a
visionary and in the words of the Mahatma, "a prince amongst beggars who begged not for himself but
a cause dear to him" toiling with self-less devotion to translate words into deed. . Intellectual giants
inspiring the students with their idealism and abounding knowledge and inviting them to drink deep and
develop character and horizon. .. The entire nation has been and shall be in unison with the statement
of Gandhiji. The Banaras Hindu University community, nay the nation, was appreciative of the decision
taken by the National Government to include BHU as an integral part of national development, after the
dawn of freedom, thus recognizing the national importance of the University and the Founder's
commitment to this Institution which played and would continue to play a constructive role in the
educational, economic and industrial reconstruction and development of the country.
In second attempt Nooraniji (through quoted texts of undistinguished scholar) used portions from the
letters of Motilal Nehru for character assassination of Mahanama. The letters were written during a
hotly contested election where the two were allegedly fighting from opposite sides. There was a time
when even the congress was divided into two segments on the question of elections and even though
on the opposite side, all these currents represented by different school of thoughts had a common
enemy. Only their approach towards him differed. Calling these names to a comrade displays the
hollowness in the character of the person who is writing it and not anything about the person it is
written about.
Noorani knows how to play with words, he (like Cassius in julious Caesar) takes this line from the letter
of Motilal which I quote The Malaviya-Lala gang aided by Birlas money are making frantic efforts to
capture the Congress. In one single stroke he had maligned three characters of National Freedom
Movement. One Madan Mohan Malvia, second Lala Lajpat Rai, third Birla. Needless to say the character
of Motilal and his contribution in the national history is also damned by this.
He later called Mahanama (again through quoted text of that undistinguished scholar) a trojan horse
of congress. I would rather say that anyone questioning Indias claim on Kashmir and helping Pakistani
propaganda is the biggest Trojan horse , a blood sucking leech and a moth eaten ideolog even by
communist standards.
In his second article Foot Soldiers of Swastika, I failed to find out why he had used the word Swastika.
He has quoted an article in highly respected Economic & Political Weekly entitled Hindutvas Foreign
Tie-up in the 1930s: Archival Evidence by the undistinguished scholar Marzia Casolari. The photograph
of our Prime minister and some swayamsevaks is put beneath it. Neither is Swastik an emblem of RSS,
nor it is of the BJP. If he wanted to use swastika as a symbol of Hitlers Nazism and side by side relate it
to the Swastika used by Hindus in our samskaars, then I would consider it an insult upon all Indians. He
should ask for forgiveness from his fellow brethren. In fact one of the two basic features of Fascism are
Dictatorship and Rampant Corruption, both of them are hallmarks of Communist rule, therefore
instead of ranting in a 2961 worded article, it would have been better if he may have done some soul
searching himself. Moreover unlike a fascist communist organization, RSS has been involved in wide
ranging constructive works which includes abolition of untouchability (even Gandhiji noted it) and
disaster relief during national calamity.
