No room for "FACTS" in Dravidian Land!
March 7, 2008
FACTS ABOUT THE FACT – Exhibition on Aurangazeb!
FACT (Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism) had organized an Exhibition of Paintings under the theme "Aurangazeb 'as he was' According to Moghol Records" in Chennai from the 3rd of March to 9th of March, 2008. The venue of the Exhibition was "Lalit Kala Academy" (National Academy of Art), Greams Road, Chennai.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Mr.Vittal, Former Chief Vigilance Commissioner, Mr.B.Raman Former Additional Secretary of UOI & RAW Official and Mr.S.Gurumurthy, Columnist, on the 3rd of March at 5 pm. The inauguration was attended by about 100 people. Prior to the inauguration, a Press Meet was also conducted.
From the next morning onwards, visitors started coming and the numbers gradually increased towards the evening. On Wednesday the 5th, a group of Muslims (around 15 people) visited and argued with the volunteers of the exhibition about the authenticity of the paintings and the historical information. The evening news paper "News Today" carried a report about the inauguration of the exhibition.
A Thursday of Torment!
At the venue:-
On Thursday the 6th morning, City Express (City edition of The New Indian Express) carried a report about the Exhibition. A few Police officers from the local area police station (Thousand Lights-F4) were posted at the venue, because of the ruckus caused by the Muslims the previous day. The academy in-charge Mr.R.M.Palaniappan asked the organizers to vacate, in anticipation of problems. The Asst.Commissioner of Police Mr.Murali visited the venue, went around the exhibits, questioned the organizer & volunteers, allegedly made some arrogant remarks and went out. Then, Hindu Munnani President Shri.Ramagopalan and VHP office bearer Shri.Gopal ji had visited. Shri.Gopal ji had arranged for the visit of press persons and TV anchors, who all came and covered the exhibition. Smt.Tamizhisai Sounderarajan, State Deputy General Secretary of BJP and her colleagues had also visited in the afternoon. Smt.Chandralekha, IAS (Retd) & President of Janatha Party, Tamil Nadu, too had visited.
Then around 3 pm, Prince of Arcot Mr.Mohammed Ali had visited and gone around the exhibits. He had debated and argued with the volunteers present there about the truth & authenticity of the paintings and the information they carried. He had even contested that all are fabricated and distorted history and had questioned the necessity of conducting such an exhibition in Chennai. He had also blamed the organizers that, they have a hidden agenda of inciting communal hatred. He had opined that the exhibition must be closed with immediate effect. He had departed saying that he would issue statements through press meet about the exhibition and that he would also take the issue to the appropriate authority.
Then in the evening some TV crews and press reporters had visited to cover the exhibition. They had a mini interview with Mr.Francois Gautier, the Founder Trustee of FACT. At that time a group of Muslims, allegedly from TMMK (Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam) and MNP (Manitha Neethi Paasarai) had come to the venue, took photographs of a few exhibits with their mobile phone cameras and picked up arguments with the volunteers, most of them elderly women from decent family backgrounds. Later on, the Muslims had threatened Mr.Francois and the volunteers to close the show immediately or face the consequences the next day. When all these arguments were going on between the organizers and the Muslims, the police had not bothered to come up (The hall was in the first floor) from basement. All the exchange of arguments and the Muslims' threats had been captured on camera by the TV crews and they had flashed the news all over during the 7 pm bulletin and thereafter.
The group of Muslims, then, had gone out and protested to the police officers who were posted there. Then they had started mobilizing their cadres through phone calls and slowly their numbers have started swelling. In the meantime, as the Ass.Commissioner Mr.Murali was adamant on the closing of the show, Mr.Francois had left the venue for meeting the Comissioner of Police after having failed to convince the ACP Mr.Murali. The man in-charge of the venue Mr.Palaniappan had given a letter of termination of the show to the organizers / volunteers and asked them to accept and sign. But, the volunteers were believed to have requested him to wait till the arrival of Mr.Francois.
In the meantime, as the crowd of Muslims had started swelling, the ACP Mr.Murali got tensed up and shouted at the volunteers. He had rushed up to the hall with his full team of around dozen officers and started pulling down the exhibits with force despite the repeated plea of the volunteers to wait till the arrival of Mr.Francois from the City Police commissioner's office. Even when the volunteers had pleaded that they would remove the paintings themselves, he had not bothered to listen to them and abused them in unparliamentarily language. He had used worse & unprintable words against Mr.Francois and had termed him as 'terrorist'. Then he had forced the volunteers to close & lock the hall and arrested four organizers / volunteers (Mrs.Srarswathi, Mrs.Vijayalakshmi, Mrs.Malathi and Mr.B.R.Haran) and one senior citizen (Mr.S.Raman-a visitor from RSS) and took them to the local station (Thousand Lights-F4). Mr.Sadagopan, Editor, Vijayabaratham, who was there on the spot had rushed for arranging lawyers for helping the organizers / volunteers.
At the Police Station:-
When the poor volunteers were taken by a police van, a big group of Muslims were seen standing outside the gates enjoying the show. The five people had been detained in the station for about 45 minutes and enquired. The enquiry had been conducted by the ACP Mr.Murali inside his cabin and the volunteers had been offered seats in front of him. They had been questioned about their profession and their connection to Mr.Francois. The ACP had even talked of confiscating the Passport of Mrs.Saraswathi's daughter Ms.Anupama. He had again termed Mr.Francois as a "Foreign Terrorist" and had blamed that the volunteers were helping & assisting him to incite communal violence in the otherwise peaceful Tamil Nadu. He had asked the venue in-charge Mr. Palaniappan, in front of the volunteers, to give a written complaint on the organizer / volunteers. He had not bothered to listen to the explanations given by the volunteers and started taking notes of their details. Before that, he had asked the senior citizen Mr.Raman (72) to go saying that someone had phoned up for him.
In the meantime, as the news of the arrest of organizers / volunteers had spread, Mr.V.sundaram, IAS had phoned up the Home Secretary & DGP thrice, Mrs.Chandralekha IAS & Dr.Subramania Swamy (from Delhi) had phoned up the Commissioner of Police, Chennai City and Smt.Radha Rajan Secretary, VIGIL Public Forum, had spoken to the Joint commissioner Mr.Bala Subramaniam condemning the highhandedness of the police and demanding the immediate release of the detainees. While the ACP Mr.Murali had been vehemently blaming the volunteers during the course of the enquiry, he had got a call from the Joint Commissioner and immediately after that, he had calmed down and asked Mr.Palaniappan to stop writing his complaint and had ordered the Inspector to allow the volunteers to go after taking a written statement from them. They had been asked to give a statement saying, "We were brought to the station from Lalit Kala Academy, the venue of the exhibition for enquiry and were allowed to go home after completion of the enquiry".
The four volunteers, who had been detained in the station, have very decent family backgrounds, are well educated and they have never gone inside a police station even once in their lives so far. It was the Muslims thugs, who had barged in to the hall, created trouble and threatened the volunteers and organizers, while the volunteers had been calm and composed and trying to explain things to them. The police had let the trouble shooters free and took the organizers to the station! A thing like this can happen only in Tamil Nadu, where a "Minority Government" runs for the welfare of only "Minorities" and the TN Police, as usual, are stooges for the party / alliance in power. The four volunteers had lost their peace on Shivrathri and finally they could neither go to the Temple nor do poojas at home!
PS: - The Effect:-
- The TOP leaders of Hindu organizations like, Shri.Surya Narayana Rao & Shri.Kuppuram of RSS, Shri.Ramagopalan ji of Hindu Munnani, Shri.Gopal ji of VHP and Shri.Sukumaran Nambiar of BJP, with the help of Shri.Sadagopan are working on the issue and they are likely to take serious measures.
- Dr.Subramanyam Swamy, Mrs.Chandralekha IAS and Mr.V.Sundaram, IAS are also focusing on the issue and are likely to take it to Senior Government authorities.
- Smt.Radha Rajan and Shri.S.V.Badri will be meeting Senior Police Officials on Saturday the 8th of March on this issue.
- Mr.Francois Gautier, who had left for Mumbai today (07-03-08) for another exhibition on Shivaji, is likely to get back tomorrow or the day after.
All are determined to conduct the exhibition again successfully!
Shutting down FACT's exhibition on Aurangzeb sends a wrong message to all and specially about the Muslims' claim that Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion. Aurangzeb's official records are in themselves a testimony to his demolition of Hindus temples by the hundreds if not thousands, and conversion of Hindus by force and economic coercion. Aurangzeb killed his own brothers and imprisoned his father. If Islam is indeed a religion of peace and brotherhood, then Aurangzeb brings disrepute to Islam. Instead of glorifying him, it is the Muslims who should be castigating him who did all the horrible acts in the name of Islam.
Aurangzeb exhibition vandalised by police in Chennai
Has Aurangzeb reincarnated in form of police? Remember the police and government beating Hindus for Muslim appeasement!
It is tough time for Hindus that they even can't make awareness about the atrocities on them. The exhibition was already organized in New Delhi, Pune and Bangalore. Then why it is closed here by only few Muslims objection. MF Hussain who had depicted Bharatmata is enjoying freedom in Foreign and Hindus who try to create awareness about such atrocities by earlier Muslims rulers are given police custody. This is the Mughal nature of Chennai Police. All Hindus should protest this event. - Editor

Chennai: The Chennai police on Thursday detained three women associated with an art exhibition after forcing them to close down the show, where a French artist had displayed his paintings on Mughal emperor Aurangazeb. The police took Saraswathi (65), Dr.Vijayalakshmi (62) and Malathi (47) to the Thousand Lights station at around 7.30 p.m. for enquiry into charges of assisting an exhibition by French journalist Francois Gautier at Lalit Kala Akademi's (LKA) Regional Centre on Greams Road. They were detained in the station for half-an-hour. (Why 'secular' police is not giving same treatment to Ashutosh Gowarikar? Police is protecting followers of cruel Aurangazeb and Akbar. - Editor)
Earlier in the day, tension prevailed on LKA premises when the police, Hindu Munnani president Rama Gopalan and Prince of Arcot Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali visited the exhibition. The visit of the police came in the wake of three letters including one from an advocate Mr Zainudeen to Lalit Kala Akademi stating that the exhibition would disturb communal harmony. The police initially suggested removal of two pictures depicting demolition of Keshava Rai temple in Mathura and that of Somnath temple by the armies of Aurangazeb. (Where was this police when Hindus were protesting against 'Jodhaa Akbar' movie based on false story? - Editor)
However, the organisers of the exhibition told the police that they would not remove the pictures as it violated their artistic freedom. Janata party president Ms Chandralekha rushed to the spot to express solidarity with the organisers of the exhibition. Talking to this newspaper, Ms Saraswati (65) said, "The police was rude to us. They asked us whether we were terrorists. We were detained in the station for more than half an hour and they did not allow us to contact our family." Ms Malathi said, "The police entered the exhibition hall at 7.30 pm and threw away some paintings." However, the police and LKA officials denied breaking any art pieces put up at the exhibition.
Later in the day, two Muslim outfits Tamil Nadu Towheed Jamaat and Samooha Neethi Peravai protested in front of the LKA demanding that the exhibition be called off as it would disturb religious amity. FACT (Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism), an art foundation of Mr Francois Gautier, has been organizing historical art exhibitions on emperors such as Aurangazeb and Shivaji in the metropolitan cities including New Delhi, Bangalore and Chennai for the last two years.
Mr Francois said, "I have conducted the same exhibition at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, Pune and Bangalore. No one protested. It is necessary to create a dialogue between communities and put an end to the intolerant culture of Aurangazeb. Let us inculcate the cosmopolitan spirit of Dara Shkoh, the brother of Aurangazeb, who learnt Upanishads and had a dialogue with the Hindu brethren." Ms Chandralekha said, "This is atrocious. The DMK-led government has always been against the Hindus. This incident also vindicated that."
Mr Balasubramanian, Joint Commissioner of police, said, "The exhibition is called off temporarily as a few people raised objections to the exhibits. As we feared that it might create a law and order problem, we advised the organisers to obtain permission before holding the exhibition again." Meanwhile, artist Francois met the Joint Commissioner and said he did not have any ulterior motive in holding the exhibition and had only wanted to create an awareness on Indian history.
Where did this police sleep when Hindu protest against 'Jodhaa Akbar', MF Husain? Do they only wake up to beat Hindus?

Aurangzeb was actually born in Borneo. The name giaven to him by the locals was Orang Ajeeb. It got corrupted later to Aurangzeb.
I believe the Aurungzeb had some courage. So the police were basically the typical cowardly dhimmi indian that we have come to expect. They belong to the same brackets as the pussilanimous politicians, NGOs, academicians and others. Nothing more nothing less.
Why insult the innocent Orangs?

mahatma gandhi was a true jihadi, apparently.
BJP government attempted to right centuries old wrongs by correcting curriculum. Next time they come to power, they must put longterm fix in place just the way American Right installs judges of their choice in Supreme court.

The dravidian destructive brand of politics knows how to kick the proud state of tamilnadu through racial categories of dravidianism. They are proud to be accept the claim of barbrians.
These politicians may actually be addicted to smell of blood, meat and name of Aurngzeb , and trying to thrust a devil on themselves.
Let our protest be heard by these sinking dravidian racists, let them extricate themselves from ghost of killers of history... For sake of their own and their state.
BJP government attempted to right centuries old wrongs by correcting curriculum. Next time they come to power, they must put longterm fix in place just the way American Right installs judges of their choice in Supreme court.
ROFL! BJP TALKED about correcting the curriculum. Like they TALKED about so many things. BJP won't give you any long term fix. They've told you what they stand for - they have no permanent friends or permanent enemies. They just want to use you to come to power.
Guess who allied with hate groups like the DMK? Yes, it was the BJP.
BJP actually tried to fix it, through a good first attempt of Joshi.
1) In west bengal text books, As Arun Shourie had shown, they had derogatory remarks on hinduism. BJP didn't have derogatory remarks.
2) BJP punctured the myth of aryan invasion, though Hajpayee didn't realize significance of what they were doing... it was a tool used by 100s of anglicized researchers in western universities... You touch this biblical inspired Aryan story, thousands of thesis of people whom we respected are going to streets. So many professors would have wondered how to justify their promotion... You have to read How DN Jha goes about it... he says somebody forwarded him a note about the invasion part... though Jha keeps the racial part in his story books... stuff Rajeev calls Aryan tourism theory
Hajpayee could have helped here, used his stature among Gandhians to expose this racist argument...
In spite of that, BJP has created a punch in that racist colonial story.
And these Naxalites and their socialist-christian supporters from abroad don't have good intentions, they will go to any extent to deform the text books... Their next pet theme is rather vicious...
dhara, the biblical nature of AIT did not come out due to the BJP, but from elsewhere. It became popular after Nov 2005. BJP never raised it. AIT continued being taught to children during the BJP rule.
And the hole in the racist colonial fantasy was not the work of BJP either. This was punctured by the likes of Swami Vivekananda more than a hundred years ago.
BJP allied itself with DMK. It speaks a lot about what BJP stands for.
Aravind,
Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what happened on Nov-2005, that was the time I was taking off from the news ( I still do, started posting some ordinary stuff on my blog and visit Rajeev's blog).
I didn't read Swami Vivekananda opposing the AIT. However I have read Sri Aurobindo giving a decisive blow to the whole system of cultural assault on indians, he had disputed the linguistic theories. I know of no other Indian at national level who targeted the brits theoretically. Not even Gandhi. For Neheru, please refer to a post on my blog about the discovery of India and Rahul Gandhi . Sociologists who targeted the british theoretical infrastructure encountered the same fate as Sri Aurobindo... British targeted them to isolation. Ones who at least accepted a couple of lines of attack by the brits, were accommodated in the system.
I thought Joshi was tampering with this one, which is the only reason why the sickularist went for him enmasse. What is the 'saffronisation' that the sickularist was printing around tens of thousands articles between 2000-2004 ?
Joshi had financed digging of a lot of archeology in western India, sites that are older than the the framing of european story. These projects have been diverted by the sickularists. That is we had authority by govt., it was not a fringe effort in a weblog.
On a more mundane level... BJP had side stepped the entire marxist structure in academics... so the doggy professors of marxist and JNU high command were ignored. Unfortunately the ones assigned tasks didn't realize the important of what they were doing...
These are all my opinion to put the positive work of BJP. Generally I would try to avoid the political parties because some of the above efforts came through individual efforts( like Shourie - investment, ideas, Khanduri- road transport, Joshi- as if he ignored entreched system, Modi - simple messages keeping sickular terrorists at bay....). At a party level, Advani is searching for true-sickularism, something that doesn't exist beyond obfuscations.
What happened in Nov 2005 was that the California textbook controversy blew up resulting in a lot of truth about AIT coming into the public domain.
As for Joshi, et. al, it is rhetoric vs. record that you must see. They came up with a lot of rhetoric during that period, but their main aim was to please the Islamofascists and p-secs.
What do you have to say to BJP joining hands with hate groups like the DMK?
Thanks for mentioning the awareness... In addition, Rajeev had an article on this issue in rediff.. published before 2001. Francois Gautier has a book with good literature survey.
The base of skin-buttock-vision cults such as dravidianism is being discredited in post second world war europe. So Hajpayee should have mentioned it openly, that this skin-buttock-vision analysis has an issue, so the colonial story perpetrated on tamils need to be investigated from the basic of skin and skull vision. Unfortunately however, our anglicized intellectuals in major news papers will guard anything published against this skin-buttock-vision ideas of dravidianism.
I just reread the passage above.. and read the dirty words of that thug ACP Murli...who has called with names to people. Hope all are doing well.
