Mini pakistan’s in India


It is a barely concealed secret that most cities in India have localities which are very aptly described as mini Pakistan (for obvious reasons). These area’s are mostly ghettos where the minority community’s writ runs large and they actually behave as if they are in a muslim majority country governed by the sharia law.

These areas are typically hotbeds of crime and terrorist activities. Terrorists and their aides often use these mini pakistan’s as their base before operations or as a safe hideout after carrying out terrorist activities.

Notorious examples are Mumbra, Mira Road, and the muslim dominated areas of South Mumbai (mohammad ali road, pydhonie, naqgpada etc).

Now, while these areas have always been mini-pakistans, what is concerning is the alarming rate at which such mini pakistan’s are mushrooming all over the country.

This is an inevitable consequence of the rapidly rising muslim population (at a rate far faster than that of any other community) and the worrying proclivity of the community to harbour a false sense of grievance and become radicalised (education, freedom of religion, discrimination and standard of living has nothing to do with it; we have in 2016 seen numerous cases of Bangladeshi’s working in Singapore becoming self-radicalised and plotting terrorist attacks in Singapore and Bangladesh. This when Singapore affords them a very good standard of living , respect and dignity of labour, extremely fair treatment  – things which their own muslim majority country cannot even dream of and also in sharp contrast with the horrible treatment that their fellow muslims in arab countries mete out to foreign labourers.

This rise in the number of mini pakistan’s hit me hard when I noticed certain changes in the stretch of road from Sion station to BKC. These changes start off innocuously or as part of religious festivities, which are expected to taper out in a few days or weeks but instead keep on growing until one fine day you suddenly realise how much things have changed. One such thing is the number of green flags, a few of which were put in the days preceding ramadam and id. As id approached, the number of flags and banners slowly started increasing, getting bigger and appeared in prominent places. What people perhaps expected was that these flags would be taken down after id. IT came as a nasty shock however to see that not only were these flags and banners not taken down, but in fact their numbers have started increasing at a alarming rate, such that now - in January 2017 – the area is awash in a sea of green flags and urdu posters and banners. The placement of the banners, flags and posters is extremely provocative, as if issuing a challenge to the Hindu majority (boards of gausia masjid are put above Shree Ganesh Nagar, that too 3 lanes before where the masjid is actually situated).

The courts which are normally quite proactive when it comes to even minor infringements by the peaceful and tolerant majority is surprisingly silent and turning a blind eye to the spread of mini pakistans.

There is a limit to the tolerance of hindus and it wont be long before we see a repeat of the riots in Hyderabad 2 years back which started when muslims refused to take off green flags even 2 months after id.

It is time for hindu’s to start recognising these devious designs and counter those, physically, judicially and electorally. If allowed to continue unabated and unchallenged, our silence and tolerance will be misconstrued as cowardice and we will be subjected to more such challenges and humiliations.

Hindu’s need to immediately unite electorally and start backing the BJP en masse, which will counter the minority appeasement and vote bank politics played by communal parties like the Congress, SP, BSP, NCP, TMC etc. Otherwise our very existence will be in danger, the moment the population of the peaceful minority touches 30-40%. And the day they become a majority, we will face annihilation.

The thought is not far-fetched or alarmist; it is a sad reality which has been played out in Pakistan, Bangladesh and even in Indian states like Kashmir.
Something to ponder over and act upon.
