ANTI-HINDU HATE GROUPS IN AMERICA
Dr. BABU SUSEELAN
Opposition to Hindus is nothing new in America. For several years Indians and Hindus were denied immigration by American law. Despite the obstacles posed by Christian Missionaries, Hindus were able to immigrate to America during the presidency of Kennedy and Johnson. Hindu organizations sprang up across the continent and slowly took roots in American society. It is significant that Hindu immigrants have worked tirelessly and convinced American thinkers that spirituality is essential for peace, freedom, harmony and coexistence. Hindu Contribution to science, technology, industries, information technology, business, knowledge based market economics, manufacturing, economics, life sciences, spirituality and freedom, etc., are innumerable and increasingly becoming more visible if not spectacular. Devoted industrious Hindus have strengthened the theories of pluralism, yoga, meditation, and the management of human affairs with deep respect for diversity in several ways. Though the book the "World is Flat" was written by an American, he strangely unearthed the fact that the Indians had already discovered the concept and were actually practicing with the premise that the "world is flat." It represents a systemic perspective in stark contrast to the naturally limited, historically conditioned efforts of dogmatic parochial ideologies to conceive "only one model of living" as a superior one. Non-parochial essence of Hindu values has kept Indians strong in their affinity by binding them together. By committing and recommitting ourselves to our Dharma, a non-parochial concept, we have forged a common Hindu identity. However, it is different than the usual parochial identity. It is what makes a Pluribus Unum "out of many, One" possible.
The capacity to view the entire humanity of the world as one family with magnanimous tolerance for diversity preached and practiced for many millennia is the unique strength of the Hindus and that sets them apart from other parochial groups, not in competition, but as all inclusive pluralistic society. This in reality is the epitome of what an ideal secular state with respect for diversity and equality for all (religions too) would like to inculcate in its body politic. The Hindu way of life and view of life had for millennia put it into practice. This strength has been viewed as a simultaneously co-occurring weakness and also has been exploited by the unscrupulous sociopathic elements of the world. Also, this strength of non-parochial unity of spirit of the Hindus and the freedom of thinking provided by the Hindu ethic presents a perpetual threat to the dogmatically operating imperialistic religions and political groups like Marxists and Maoists and their political ambitions.
Besides, to understand "Hinduness" and the Hindu Vedic philosophy as well as all the practices and spiritual paths endorsed by pluralistic approaches therein requires a high degree of capacity for abstraction and symbolic thinking and integration of the right brain and left brain activity. Such capacity is hard to come by even among the most educated intellectuals (left brain dominant people) and people cognitively locked up in dogmatic boxes of thought categories in their Conscious and Unconscious. They find "Hinduness" very difficult to comprehend and stomach, arousing in them a deep level of discomfort and anger to find a system that may be seen as their nemesis unconsciously if not consciously. It is difficult for these "other" groups to come even close to see that there could be a "Manav Dharma" or "Vishwa Dharma" meaning a scientific humanism underlying the Hindu ethos that could one day provide a supra-religious psycho-technology to unite and care for the entire human race, Homo sapiens sapiens.
This is a major threat to the existence of the other parochial systems as they see their eventual natural dissolution if the Hindu ethos should be seen as a possible form that may be acceptable and embraceable for the entire humanity. If that happens there will not be then any need for the compartmentalized identities provided by these parochial groups that originated mainly in the shepherd-tribal desert communities.
Now curiously several Anti-Hindu hate groups have appeared in different parts of America in ever new forms and with different disguises many forming alliance because of their origin in the Abrahamic religions. Indian ethos is also principally not compatible with the violent and aggressive, Communist, totalitarian, agenda and viewed, therefore, as an obstacle for the spread of Communism. Proliferation of the affiliates of the abovementioned parochial groups and politically minded people in the U.S. has led to this current anti-Hindu climate. India has never suffered from a shortage of anti-Hindu and anti-India groups in America. Recently, Fundamentalist Evangelist groups, RISA, Indo-Eurasian Research Groups (IER), FETNA, Indian Converted Christian Organizations, Fanatic Indian Islamic Fascists, Indian Marxists and Communists anarchists who have proudly entered U.S. academia posing as liberals, and pseudo-secular bigots have made an unholy alliance against India and Hindus in America. They have joined with anti-Hindu fundamentalist groups to wage a psychological warfare against peace loving, tolerant, spiritual, pluralistic Hindus. Several anti-Hindu fanatic groups such as American Federation of Muslims of Indian Origin (AFMI), Association of Indian Muslims of America (AIM), Campaign to Stop Funding Hate (CSFH), Coalition Against Communalism (CAC), Federation of Indian American Christian Organization of North America (FIACONA), Forum of Inquilabi Leftists (FOIL), Indian Christian Forum (ICF), Indian Muslim Educational Foundation of North America (IMEFNA), Indian Muslim Council-USA (IMC-USA), Indian Muslim Relief and Charities (IMRC), Muslim Youth Awareness Alliance (MYAA), South Asian Collectives (SAC), South Asia Forum (SAF), and Supporters of Human Rights in India (SHRI) are busy vulgarizing Hinduism. (This List is not exhaustive). It is not very difficult to see that these very groups would have thrived as anti-Semitic coalitions also, if anti-Semitism was to be fashionable and tolerable at this time. These strange bedfellows do not recognize that they have now reactivated themselves by displacing their age-old hostilities from the anti-Jewish (anti-Semitic) on to the Hindus forming anti-Hindu organized entities. It is the same sinister colonial, imperialistic, racial, parochial, disparaging, deeply rooted color-conscious, destructive, and discriminatory drive that is operating in their machinations. These hate groups' goal has unmistakably been Hindu bashing. They are not honest critics working toward deeper understanding of Hindu ethic and seek peace and positive values for America. They are peddling lies, half-truths, and false accusations in the guise of "secularism" while they themselves are, in practice, deeply anti-secular and anti-tolerance and anti-patience in dealing with their own factions too projecting and looking for blame for social evils in the Hindu society.
Those who are familiar with the history of these people's background in dealing with "differences" in the last several centuries manifested by evil practices such as witch hunting, burning at the steaks, colonizing the unwanted epileptics and lepers, creating horrible bedlams, institutionalized slavery, Church endorsed serfdom and slavery, marginalization and extrusion of the Native American and their genocide, holocaust, large scale ruthless tortures and massacres of the "non-believers" tantamounting to genocides, nuclear weapons annihilating millions, housing, school, hotels and even water-fountains and toilet segregation and apartheid methods of exclusion, their own forms of castes and classes with internal discriminations, "opposition to feminists, homosexuals, and affirmative action, civil liberties," and above all "Colonization" and exploitation of other countries and regions practiced even now under different disguises, etc. and on and on, in addition to the systematic genocides and terrorism undertaken by their own ancestors all over the world to spread their religions, convert the world populations to their belief with force of the sword and other deceit, etc., decimating other cultures, their historical monuments, libraries, and languages, etc., in reality does not give them any moral authority except for their clout and political connectedness through the current-day networking. This networking in the U.S. is across the board from the academic (University of Chicago, Emory, Harvard, Portland State University, etc.,), religious institutions and organizations (RISA, etc.), political organizations and some officials in the Government itself with like minded people forming a seamless network of conscious or unconscious conspirators. They have the commonly shared old colonial ambitions to not relinquish their interests in the natural resources of India to which they have become addicted to, whether to harvest the souls, or to find the obsequious cheap labor to prosper economically to build their own empires as they have done in the past centuries of colonialism, or by forceful occupation of India and by ruling over it like they have done for centuries as Muslims, or the British or other European powers. Besides the geopolitical position of India not aligned with them or non-sympathetic to their ambitions, because of the Hindu majority, makes India a fly in their ointment. This is in contrast to Malaysia, Philippines, or Indonesia, for example, where the majority has readily succumbed to their design. There is no need to have a special political talent to recognize that the Americans have a great affinity with the British and other Colonizing European powers and are likely to blindly follow their anachronistic attitudes of acting as the condescending patrons or the wise men on the camel's back to guide the Indian Hindu "subjects" into a "great reform."
What is sad is that many of these outfits conceal from themselves and others, or have forgotten their own history and are not able to smell the mal-odorous gook adhered to the soles of their own shoes while looking for origin of any kind of stink they can find by examining the drains of other civilizations. Projecting some evils and unacceptable social practices on far away civilization and talking about "poor India" whose plight they have had a great part in creating is one way to distract their own "poor" and discriminated into accepting their pain and discrimination as tolerable, and making them feel like they are really "lucky" and blessed to be discriminated and maltreated in the rich Western societies compared to the "wretched Hindus." "We are not too bad," "look at those Indians and Hindus" is the subliminal message they want to give to their own wretched people through their media.
Besides that these outfits are turning out to be wonderfully lucrative businesses under the disguise of "non-profit" organizations for many busy-bodies who would be otherwise non-productive in the market economies of the world. They are the tools for maintaining the status quo for the capitalistic system that is resistant to provide Universal Health Care or other social welfare programs in the rich countries by distracting their poor by pointing fingers at India and Africa. Aren't the poor people lucky to afford cars, dwellings, and TV's to comfortably watch such misery in other far away places and admire their own politicians for providing what they have as creature comforts? Besides, the honest, hard working, noble and generous true salt of the earth Christians gladly contribute 10% of their income to change the lot of the wretched non-Christian Indians when they are brought into their own fold to reform them!! That creates a multi-billion dollar industry for these busybodies.
What is going on? Why are Indian Converted Christians, fanatic Indian Muslims and Communists betraying India? Instead of creating a positive image, educating Americans, promoting pluralistic, all inclusive Indian values, why are they turning against Hindus and India? These converted Indian Christians, Indian Muslims and Marxists have surrendered themselves to rigid, non-compromising, reductionist, divisive, fundamentalist anti-Hindu ideology. These sloppy anti-Hindu bigots suffer from their own thinking errors and take no responsibility for their nefarious and erroneous actions of the past or present. They behave without moral ground or conscience, guilt or remorse, and they don't want the consequences of their actions known, and if such should become known, they don't want to take responsibility. They are well trained to do what they are told. Of course, what is not said and recognized is that they are all mercenaries of the parochial groups or the political interest groups who reward them financially directly or indirectly by providing them economic incentives by offering them jobs and means of earning a livelihood or supplement the same.
These Hindu bashers' language, values, culture, and thinking have been polluted through a denial of traditional Indian culture. In the mad dash to escape from their all inclusive, open ended, universal spiritual philosophy and freedom, that make up Indian heritage, these people converted to Christianity, Islam, and Marxism scoff at Indian cultural values and ethics and become paranoid and psychotic in their attempt to deal with their own roots. In the first place, they have not comprehended Hindu philosophy which is watered down to them in a distorted fashion by their Mullahs or Missionaries and their Churches and Mosques who are the meeting places of the organized religions to which they belong or by their Communist mentors. They have been systematically alienated from their roots and have chosen a new identity as is usually chosen by the separating- individuating teen-agers with much immaturity, and hostility towards their parents, harboring much unconscious guilt for their anger. They want to project the blame for their plight on the parents, or like the communists did on the capitalists. India and Hindus have become their whipping dogs.
These anti Indian groups simply do not understand the result of their own actions and do not stick around long enough to bear consequences. These mischief mongers and miscreants in our midst seldom advocate pluralism, tolerance, universalism or harmony or trying to move the American society in that direction because they are slaves to tyrannical, fundamentalist and conflicting ideologies. In fact, by fighting an imagined common enemy in their fantasy viewed as some form of "Hindu" society they can temporarily keep aside deep hostilities they have among themselves which will manifest and which have manifested when the moment of truth will arrive or has arrived.
It seems that a slow poison is running in the veins of these people and the anti-Hindu "crap" is just a small part of it. These Hindu bashers always seem ready with excuses for Islamic terrorists, missionary culture vultures and Marxist anarchists. Every positive Social service by Hindu organizations or educational effort is horrifying in their eyes, a sign of bad conduct, and moral decay. Missionaries and Muslims of all kinds have had their dominating parochial educational institutions all over the world for centuries now but they want to dub the Hindu efforts of educating their poor rural or tribal people as a defined sinister ultra-parochial "Hindutva-vadin" activity. Any effort on part of the Hindus to unify their own people is viewed by them as a "militant" trait. It is as if Hindu bashers of Indian origin have arrived at some kind of intellectually shared "truth" with Islamic terrorists and the conversion gangs. It is as if they have made accommodations for them. Hindu bashers actually welcome news that makes Hindus and India look bad even when Hindus are the helpless victims. (Sadly even the so called secular English media in India play the same tune.) They find pleasure and delight in vilifying "Hindu India" and Hindus. There is never a prompt and vigorous outrage from these Hindu bashers about Jihadi terrorism, missionary mischief, or Marxist violence. Hindus are a soft target compared to these. The so-called peace loving moderate Muslims have not organized themselves to loudly denounce the Jihadi terrorists in the last 15 years since that form of terrorism has spread throughout the world but they are energized to voice their opposition to Hindu efforts to fight Jihadi terrorism fearing that Hindu India will victimize the innocent Muslims, no matter the terrorists have killed more than 7000 Indians largely Hindus. While hiding behind tyrannical ideologies for ages, these Hindu-bashers in America are playing with betrayal of their really truth seeking audience and readers, denying of historical reality, deploying diversionary tactics digging up non sequiturs, falsehoods, and sophistry.
Are they aware of the social and political damage they have already inflicted on India? Their actions against India and Hindus have no moral sense, logic or common sense. Their recent letter to President elect Obama exposes their fallacious and demeaning logic. The unprecedented recklessness of their letter is an alarmist tactic of intimidation.
How did they come about to have this mentality? Mindless missionaries have used deceptive strategies to lure low class, uneducated and poor Indians and alienated them from their spiritual tradition and enslaved them in a rigid, fundamentalist and parochial Christian dogma while giving them economic relief and buying their loyalty. Christian schools have indoctrinated them with closed channel thinking and hostility towards Hindu pluralism, tolerance, and transcendental philosophy. They were brought to this country to serve their slave masters. Islamic fascists and Marxists and the anti-Hindu pseudo secularists have made an unholy alliance against tolerant Hindus and sacred Indian heritage. These closed channel Hindu hate groups have a goal to insult, ridicule and subvert American religious freedom by starting a systematic persecution of the Hindus and presenting them as some form of evil in a grossly distorted form. These anti-Hindu hate groups are mired in hostility and tyrannical ideologies. They will always see India as immoral and dishonorable. No matter how much Hindus and India do reform themselves today, these profit seeking hate groups will continue to prey on American insecurities, ignorance, and the gaps in their readers' knowledge. There are also some Indian born morons that exploit American hopes and fears. In short, these anti-Hindu hate groups represent the ultimate in arrogance, ignorance, paranoia, and betrayal of their own stock.

Check the role of Kerala or Mallu Christians in the matter.
Mallu girls [nurses and the like] marry from Kerala and bring the hubbies to the USA, where they sit at home unemployed and frustrated. The only thing most of them can do is write in better English than their North Indian counterparts. So they take to the Net, to vent all their frustrations.
If all the naam-ke-vaaste husbands of Kerala nurses in the USA were fruitfully employed, Hindu bashing in the USA would find less perpetrators and takers.
