Terrorism has various faces in India. In other words, we could say, India always been an epicenter of various kinds of terrorism that has different masks and names. If we keep aside Hindutva terrorism for a while which was earlier known only communalism, there is two kinds of terrorism are being practiced in entire country and on International level as well. One of them is a common terrorism which is very popular in India too because of its being used against Muslims on International level.
Interestingly, all kinds of terrorism are anti-Muslims. It seems that different names of terrorism are adopted only to target Muslims, whether the matter is.
The second terrorism which is very dangerous from any kind of terrorism and which is very popular in India, as well as, on International level is known as secular terrorism. It has different aims and could be used according to time and needs. The aim of this terrorism is to create the atmosphere where Muslims find no place but to accept living as a particular class wants. It could be used in preventing Muslims to get any kind of assistance, whether it is political, or legal, or denying them to access towards development.
According to this terrorism, the political class which claims itself “secular class” can oppose any decision or law aims to empower Muslims in India. This secular terrorism exists in India before its independence, at that time it was nameless, and now it works as a tool to betray this helpless but strongest Minority community.
Secular classes no concern over practicing of discriminations and prejudices in the society a clear indication of role of secular terrorism.
Madhya Pradesh, where some Muslims were being released by jail authorities due to their good behavior in the jail, sheds the light on secular terrorism.
Actually, various state governments release some prisoners on the occasion of every Republic and Independence Day when jail authorities find their good conduct during the period and recommend to government for their releasing. So if some Muslims, whether they are the members of SIMI, are being released by Madhya Pradesh jail authorities on Republic Day as per legal ways so what's the matter of concern for everyone? However, there is a party which claims of being a secular party in India, blames on Madhya Pradesh Government of taking bribe to release these Muslims.
Indeed, there is a political phenomenon under the shadow of secular terrorism to prevent Muslims to get any help or prevent governments or official authorities to show any kind of sympathy to Muslims.
Has state no right to release Muslims for their good behavior? Do Muslims not deserve to be released on Republic and Independence Day? Have the prisons been made only for Muslims? Hintuva cadres lunching campaign against Muslims left reasons to understand of it, but if the campaign is being lunched by Congress, which uses secular mask to govern the country, then there is a matter of great concern and this kind of campaign can be seen in the light of secular terrorism.
Interestingly, Congress party in Madhya Pradesh has the objection on releasing of some Muslims, while it has no objection and sees no matter of concern over saffron terrorism in various statements made by its own party leader and former chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh.
As for communal or saffron terrorism, so everyone is aware about it. Everyone knows its aims and targets, but secular terrorism has no particular faces, so it has long and effective role when Muslims raise the voices on various issues.
Muslims, in India, if they are the victims of saffron terrorism, so they are the victims of secular terrorism too. If we keep aside all issues related to communal violence before 1992 for a while, we will find that secular terrorism was particularly used to deny Muslims to get justice in all incidents and tragedies happened after 6th December 1992.
If Hindtuva and communal forces were involved under the leadership of Mr. Advani in razing down the Babri Masjid on 6th December 1992 so it was the secular terrorism which allowed to build a temporary temple and allowing a particular class to pray there while Muslims entry forbidden forcefully and any bid by them to enter there for praying in Masjid seen as a matter of terrorism.
Is this not a secular terrorism that secular parties or secular class in the country expresses no concern over the decisions taken by a group of advocates of various courts not to take the case of any Muslim arrested in terror charges?
Secular extremism works openly under the leadership of secular classes. If it is not so, then how Muslims are languishing in jail while the real perpetrators are free from the grip of law.
In the eye of Mr. Rahul, RSS and SIMI are same, however, banning one and permitting another to work is not an example of secular extremism?
It is the secular terrorism that lands innocent Muslims in the prisons and grants sympathy to the class that wants not to see Muslims as a developed and strongest community in India.
It is the secular terrorism that allows conspirators and planers of Babri Masjid and Gujarat Genocide 2002 to move freely in the society to instill venom more in the mind of innocent Hindu youths to use them for their political activities.
It is the secular terrorism that awards the punishment to the perpetrators of 1993 bomb blasts but leaves alls who planned violence and terror before, and after 1993 bomb blasts.
If the country faces a threat of terrorism from a particular class so this is the secular terrorism that takes this issue very lightly and accuses strongest Minority community for everything.
Actually, secular terrorism is an ideology that allows Muslims to live as Muslims and work but to follow the rule as particular class wants.
Defeating of this ideology and this secular terrorism is impossible unless Muslims unite, adopt one policy, take part in election as a representative of Muslims and try to arrive in Parliament as a party that represents all communities of India and works for the welfare of all entities of the country.
This secular terrorism has a place in Media, in society, in secular parties and in the government. That reasons and despite of promising of political parties for extending the government's help in Muslims development, there is no any progress in Muslim community. If there progress on state or central level so it is only that government is monitoring to introduce Madarsa Board or works on a way that will eliminate Muslims identity in India gradually. Except of it, there is no any plan of development or progress by any government, whether it is in Center or in State.
This secular terrorism accepts every remark against Muslims, but it never ready to accept any Muslim remark on other issues. This kind of terrorism is more dangerous than the terrorism Muslim faces for long times by Hindutva cadres, because Hindutva cadres targets Muslim and kill them, while secular terrorism is being used in not providing any legal and governmental assistance to Muslims. Gujarat genocide is a biggest ever example of this tragedy which is being faced by Muslims since 2002 till now.
This kind of terrorism is a big obstacle in Muslims development, their progress and getting their rights granted by the constitution. Secular terrorism and secular extremism must be denounced very strongly and without expressing any excuse on it.
In a democratic country, where common man is being believed the sole power, any kind of terrorism should not be encouraged, especially, when secular terrorism is being used to target a particular community.
