That is exactly what has happened with India’s Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the anti-CAA riots (rather, the anti-Hindu riots), and the image of the Hindus of India. The liberal media has been Islamized to the core, and this is a fact that holds true worldwide. While delivering details about the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the subsequent violence, to their readers, news outlets have deliberately concealed information and presented disinformation, to further their cause of evoking pro-Muslim sentiments among people.

WHAT IS THE CAA?

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 provides expedited Indian citizenship to migrants belonging to persecuted minority groups like the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians, who entered India without a valid visa, from neighboring Islamic countries – Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan – before December 2014.

Claims of the CAA being anti-constitutional and anti-humanity are far from truth; the CAA has been implemented only after following the constitutional process rigorously. It has been passed with majority votes in both the houses of the Indian Parliament and then signed by the sitting President of the Republic of India, Shri Ramnath Kovind. Claimed to be inhumane, the CAA, on the contrary, is the epitome of humanity. Ask the Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs who escaped death at the hands of religious radicals thriving in the Islamic countries listed above.

WHY IS CAA NEEDED?

The world cheered when Canada welcomed Asia Bibi of Pakistan who was sentenced to death and was imprisoned for the “sin” of being a practicing Christian in a constitutionally Islamic country. Then why is the world turning against India for offering shelter to thousands of Asia Bibis?

Hundreds of non-Muslim girls are being abducted in Pakistan, forced into marriages with older Muslim men, and undergoing involuntary religious conversions. They are raped and violated every day. Hindu homes in Bangladesh are set ablaze. Enduring abject and unbearable humiliation has become an accepted way of life – an excruciatingly miserable one – for the Sikhs of Afghanistan. Would the generous liberals of the developed western world rather these people die at the hands of Islamists dominating the squalid societies of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan than have a home in India?

IS CAA ANTI-MUSLIM?

In one word – NO. Not a single Indian Muslim loses his citizenship because of the CAA or the NRC, which has yet to be drafted on a national scale and implemented across India. The CAA gives citizenship to those who have suffered unspeakable atrocities in Islamic countries. Perhaps the only “right” that gets affected by the CAA, if any, is the “right” to brutalize non-Muslims in Islamic countries that Islamists have been enjoying for decades.

The CAA doesn’t proscribe Muslims from gaining Indian citizenship, either. However, they would have to follow the standard procedure of naturalization that necessitates residing in India for a period of twelve years.

A Muslim is not getting victimized in any of India’s neighboring countries (which were once a part of undivided India) for his religion, hence he doesn’t need the Indian government to protect him from religious radicals. Even in Nepal, a country that was the only Hindu monarchy till a decade ago, the Muslims lived a protected life. It is a truth universally observed that Muslims, as minorities, have not faced discrimination in any country, whereas, minorities in Islamic countries put up with numerous exploitations routinely.

INDIA’S BLOODY HISTORY JUSTIFIES THE CAA

When the British packed their bags to leave India, Muhammad Ali Jinnah stirred up the demand of a separate country for the Muslims, that would function as per Islamic law. In the Noakhali Riots and Direct-Action Day, thousands of Hindus were massacred by the Muslims, commanded by Jinnah. The Muslims got their separate country through a bloodbath. Pakistan (including present day Bangladesh) was an Islamic country, but India maintained its secular stance.

Hindus didn’t take to the streets, baying for Muslim blood, calling for a Hindu Rashtra. Despite largely voting in favor of an “Islamic Pakistan” in the referendum of July 2, 1947, about 30 million Muslims stayed back. But Hindus, Sikhs, and members of micro-minority communities started to migrate from Pakistan that evidently had no place or respect for those who bowed to a “different God”. Where would these people go?

When European countries opened their doors to massive number of Muslim refugees, the world was exhilarated. These Muslim refugees were fleeing their own land, which they shared with people of no other religious or cultural denomination, and still managed to turn into a debris. The liberal world stretched their arms out welcoming these people. Why has the same generous liberal world turned volatile towards India for promising security to a handful of refugees? Is it because these refugees are not Muslims?

The pseudo-liberal world needs to be reminded that this planet does not belong to the Muslims only. The Hindus – who have suffered all kinds of brutalities at the hands of Islamic barbarians for centuries, the Sikhs, the Jains, the Buddhists, and the Christians deserve to breathe in peace also.
