INDIA'S NEW NEMESIS - "SAFFREEN TERROR"

After more than 2 years of trial and denial, the fact that "SAFFRON TERROR" exists on the Indian soil , has come out in the open. I think if there is anything more chilling than the cold prevailing in the Northern part of India, it is the revelation by Swami Assemanand in a jail in hyderabad that it was indeed the Hindu sewaks who masterminded and carried out the malegaon , ajmer and mecca masjid blasts.
The most interesting bit is that it was not sticks and stones that got the better of Swami Aseemanand and made him confess his crimes ,but rather it was a change of heart  he experienced at the CHANCHALAGUDDA JAIL  in HYDERABAD. (Read this story here, http://www.indianexpress.com/news/plight-of-kind-muslim-man-wrongly-held-for-mecca-masjid-led-swami-to-confess-police/734909/ ,i bet it looks like one straight out of  Hindi films)

Not long back , India was known as the "Land of Saints and Spirituality" , well , looking at it now , it appears that the sobriquet is but a oxymoron.

I am completely awe-struck with the latest developements in the chapter of hindu extremism. Ofcourse, I was aware of Sadhvi Pragya's arrest but it was still an allegation with no concrete evidence against the accused.

Untill the decade of 2000, the communal violence in India was majorly restricted to J&K (i feel a lot of shame as i write this) , with a one-off incidents occuring in rest of india on a sporadic basis. eg. Mumbai blasts of 94, Rath Yatra. But as we steppped in to the first decade of the 21st century , on that ominous day of 13 Dec'2001 ,the Indian parliament was ransacked and savaged by bunch of armed militants , later discovered to be Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists. And another attack of similar modus operandi was waiting to happen on the land of Mumbai as the terrorists stormed into various parts of the city on 26 nov'2008 ,shooting anybody in sight. And between them , there were a couple of dozen other terror attacks carried out in form of train blasts , hijack and hostage situation, blasts in temples and mosques and more such gory acts . All carried out by terrorist outfits supposedly Islamic uptill now, with an aim to make their mark as the torchbearers of 'JEHAD' , in the process killing thousands and millions of innocent people.

Clearly as the years went by in this decade ,things went from bad to worse with  attacks taking place almost quarterly. While clearly the security forces and Indian Intelligence services were shown up as incompetent in thwarting such Terror attacks as their role they played was that of a reactionary force that came in the end , once the collateral damage had been done.

But little did anyone knew that the 'Terrorist Troubles' will get compounded in the years to come. In the years 2007-08  terror struck again , not once , not twice but thrice , this time the target being the Indian muslim.
The ajmer sharif , mecca masjid and malegaon blasts , going by the motive looked very much the act of Hindu extremists , but since 'Saffron terror' was a relatively unheard commodity at that time , the investigating agencies followed a multi-pronged approach.

But in the latest revelations by Swami Assemanand testifying the role of RSS workers in the abovementioned attacks, thus diminishing any doubts over the attacks being a handiwork of Hindu militants.
I feel this is the biggest ebb in India's fight against terrorism. With RSS joining the ranks with SIMI , Indian Mujahideen , more terror will surely be borne out of India against the Indians.

While the Govt. and security forces were hitherto unable to keep 'GRREN TERROR' at bay , they now have their work cut out as they have to fight and ward off  an even bigger threat posed by " SAFFRON + GREEN" = " SAFFREEN TERROR".

Well, for the common man if the inflated food prices were not enough , an inflated terror threat is also in the offing. Better watch out , because next time the terror strike may come from either side.

GOD BLESS INDIA.
