Myth 6: Gujarat riots were the ‘worst ever massacre’ in India
Posted on May 22, 2008 - Filed Under 12-Concocted Lies and Myths by the media |
Fact: Gujarat riots of 2002 AD were absolutely nothing as compared to Gujarat’s past riots of 1969 and 1985 AD. They were still nothing as compared to Gujarat’s riots of 1980, 1982, 1990, and 1992. And they were again nothing as compared to pre-independence riots of the 1940’s in Ahmedabad when the Hindu community took a sound beating.
Much worse riots took place in New Delhi in 1984 under the Congress Party’s rule. Officially 3,000 people were killed, and actually close to 10,000. Riots were also not limited to New Delhi then. Killings of more than 40,000 Hindus have happened in Jammu and Kashmir state of India. Hardly 1000 people were killed in Gujarat in 2002 AD, for the sins of 2000 Muslims of Godhra. Out of them, more than 250 are Hindus. Post-Godhra riots were neither ‘pogrom’, nor ‘genocide’, nor ‘massacre’. They were not even ‘massacre’, not to talk of the ‘worst-ever massacre in India.’ Despite this- pseudo-secularists like Teesta Setalvad, Harsh Mander, Amulya Ganguly, Prafull Bidwai and other such stark liers- like Tehelka, Congress Party etc have called the 2002 riots as ‘Gujarat massacre’- and lied that there was “Gujarat massacre of Muslims- with the sanction of Narendra Modi”. These people have demanded action against Modi. Far from any action being taken Modi- action needs to be taken against stark liers like Tehelka- the foreign media- i.e. US and British media- and so-called Human Rights organizations in India and abroad- there was no “Gujarat massacre of Muslims” in the 2002 riots- but plain Hindu-Muslim riots- in which hundreds of Hindus were also killed by Muslims even after the gruesome and horrific roasting of 59 Hindus- including 25 women and 15 children in Godhra.
The worst ever massacre was of the Hindus during the medieval times. Timur massacred some 1 lakh Hindus on a single day in Delhi in 1399. Nadirshah, the invader, massacred many people in 1739 in Delhi. The massacres of Hindus in medieval India would have put Hitler’s Nazi death-chambers of the 1930s to shame. These massacres happened under all the medieval rulers of India. Mahmud of Ghazni also massacred many Hindus in between 1001-1027 AD. Mohammad Ghori also did the same between 1192 to 1206. So did all others. The invaders were like a cloud of locusts destroying and devouring everything on their way.
Looking at the modern, independent India, these riots were still absolutey nothing. The worst ever massacre in independent India was of the Hindus in Kashmir, which continues till date. After that, nothing was worse than the 1984 riots, when the Sikhs were massacred by the ruling Congress Party. In Bhagalpur, Bihar under the Congress rule itself more than 1400 people were killed, most of whom were Muslims, after Muslims threw bombs on Hindu localities, and then suffered in retaliation.
