Why no one must visit the Ajmer Sharif Dargah

Why you should never visit Ajmer Sharif Dargah

1. In 1992 one of the most appalling cases of targeted gang rapes was revealed in Ajmer. Around 1,100 Hindu girls were gangraped over several months by a jehadi gang led by Farooq Chishti, the khadim of Ajmer Sharif Dargah.

2. Hindu girls aged 12-20 years were raped by Farooq Chishti and blackmailed for many years. Farooq is a direct descendant of Moinuddin Chisti, a Sufi with deep-seated hatred towards Hindus. Having arrived in Ajmer, he saw a number of temples and promised he will have them razed.

3. The victims included daughters of IAS, IPS, influential government officers and businessmen. They were girls from schools and colleges across Ajmer. 6 victims committed suicide. Several others moved out. Survivors were threatened and most of them did not become witnesses.

4. The gang leader Farooq was not only the khadim (caretaker) of Ajmer Sharif Dargah, he was also the then President of Indian Youth Congress Ajmer. Behind every major crime against Hindus and India, dig deep enough and you may find an @INCIndia connection.

5. Although the police and administration were aware of the gangrape and blackmail of Hindu girls for more than a year, they did not take any action against the criminals due to political pressure.

6. The investigation stalled due to political pressure and parental shame. Hindu parents were more interested in getting their girls married off rather than seek justice for their community and prevent other daughters face similar trauma in future.

7. The incident was never reported by mainstream media. The incident was first reported by Deenbandhu Chaudhry, a journalist working with a local newspaper. Only when the incident was reported with photographs and people in Ajmer hit the roads did the police register an FIR.

8. Deenbandhu Chaudhry was later murdered under "mysterious conditions". There is nothing mysterious about it - he was killed by the conspirators.

9. According to the police and women-focused NGOs, it was difficult to build a case against the perpetrators, as most victims were reluctant to come forward. However, the photos and videos used to blackmail the victims helped identify the accused and build the case against them.

10. Thirty victims were identified in the investigations; out of these, only about a dozen filed cases, and ten later backed out. Only 2 victims pursued the case.

11. Dozens of Harmful men from Ajmer Sharif Dargah were involved. The 18 accused charged with abduction and gang rape belonged to the clan of caretakers of Sufi shrine of Ajmer Sharif Dargah of Moinuddin Chishti.

12. Main accused Farooq Chishtee was president of the Ajmer Youth Congress. Nafis Chishtee was the vice-president of Ajmer Indian National Congress and Anwar Chishtee was the joint secretary of Ajmer Indian National Congress.

13. Moijullah alias Puttan, Ishrat Ali, Anwar Chishtee and Shamshuddin were also sentenced by the court. Absconder Suhail Chishtee hid for 26 years before he surrendered. Absconder Salim Chishtee was arrested in 2012. Another main accused, Alamas, is still absconding.

14. In 2013, the Rajasthan High Court upheld the decision though it reduced the period of the sentence from life imprisonment to the period already served.

15. In 2004, N. Santosh Hegde and BP Singh of the Supreme Court said: "We are of the view that the ends of justice would be met if the sentence is reduced to ten years rigorous imprisonment." 10 years for destroying 1,100 Hindu girls and their families. Judges or jokers?

16. According to Hindus Persecuted: "The point is not to open the past wounds or create a divide. It is for people to know their history, their persecutions and be aware of dangers still lurking around."

17. As seculars are doing after The Kashmir Files, it is easy to label everything as conspiracy or bigotry, but that does not deliver the justice to victims or helps us know our pain.

18. Our political establishment, media, historians and intellectuals have not only failed us, but systematically whitewashed and have hidden our past from us to suit their agenda. It is time public discussions on these events happen without any inhibition.

19. And before you lowlife secular scum say this was just a crime and that Hindus are bringing religion into it, know this: NONE OF THE GIRLS who were raped and blackmailed were MUSLIMS, not a single ONE. What are the odds?

The secular myths of the Christian west

The secular myths of the Christian west - A thread by Cogito that can be read on Twitter here.

England has a state religion, monarchy, Christian cross in its flag & reserves 120 seats in parliament for Church Bishops & Royal families. Yet for west, England is democratic but India regressive just for its neutrality in UKR.

32 Nations in Europe officially recognize Christianity, to varying degrees, either as state religion or with special privileges in constitution or through a Concordat with the Vatican. Concordats are agreements of nations with Vatican to govern & protect Church interests.

USA's official motto is "In God we trust", its 50 state constitutions mention the word "God" & we know which God. It's presidents take oath on Bible & attend national prayer breakfasts in Church every year. Yet for the first world US is "liberal & secular."

How democratic is UK? 

England has an official state religion, the Church of England, which believes Jesus is the only god. Why is England still a Christian state in 21st century? asked no western liberal ever. But India despite birthing 4 world religions has to bear colonial vestige of secularism.

UK Parliament has 26 seats reserved for Bishops of Church of England. Till 2015, for 400 years there was not one female Bishop chosen. But UK's democratic reputation is untouched despite reserving a section of its Parliament exclusively for White Christian males for 4 centuries.

Consider if India reserved seats in parliament for its religious heads. A Modi elected by popular vote is a sign of democratic backsliding for west but 26 Bishops nominated directly by Church to make national laws is fair game. Burden of secularism is only for brown shoulders.

92 seats in UK parliament are filled on hereditary basis. Yes, based on birth. These hereditary seats called 'peers' are reserved for the royal families of UK. In Indian democracy, even a ward councilor position can't be filled based on birth. Yet UK is progressive, India is not.

England's national flag is based on the Saint George's Cross. George is venerated as a military saint who died for Christian faith, a mythical inspiration for crusade wars. Imagine if India added a Om to its flag, probably it would get a UN condemnation for religious intolerance. 

Though titular, UK is still a constitutional monarchy where descendants of aristocratic families that pillaged the third world with colonialism are bowed to & revered. The queen is head of the state church as well, making Church the central axis of England's nationhood identity.

India recognizes no erstwhile royal families. But Europe has 12 monarchies, honoring memory of a glorious empire past when they enslaved & ruled 3/4th of the world. But according to BBC, UK monarchy is a full democracy but India is an electoral autocracy.

Take National anthems. England's makes 11 references to its Queen, invoking gods to help her for imperial conquests. US anthem authored by a slave owner has passages about slavery still not removed. India's Anthem is equitable, no reference to religion/god or against any people.

Beyond US/UK, Germany in 06 pushed for EU constitution with Christian flavor. Italy, Portugal & Spain have special relationships with their churches, France has areas where separation of Church & State doesn't apply. All Nordic nations run state churches.

Germany even collects tax on behalf of church. In Denmark, the state collects taxes for the church (thankfully only members of the national church have to pay).

While Arab states exhibit their Islamism, Europe is subtle in camouflaging its Christian identity in cloak of secularism. Gives them better operability & moral standing in geopolitics. It has a deep Caucasian Christian conscious, we are seeing invoked in fraternity with Ukraine.

Duplicity of west in retaining its Christian/Colonial legacy while parallelly placing demands on third world to strip its religion, identity & culture. This willful hypocrisy by design is what makes global liberal order a farce, which no self respecting nation can participate in.

Most media across the world is affiliated to Christian organizations who take orders from Church and/or governments that are deeply controlled by the Church, like the ones in UK, Germany, Denmark and most of Europe. This is why it's also easy for them to control the narrative based on which country does the attacks. 

The proof lies in the attack on Ukraine done by Russia. For decades, US has been poking the bear by induction of countries on the borders of Russia into NATO and putting US missile batteries on Russian borders. When Russia retaliated by attacking Ukraine to safeguard its own country, the church controlled media called it an invasion.

Compare this to the attack by US on Iran and Afghanistan. There were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. This was the whole basis of US attacking Iraq. Millions of people were killed and millions more displaced in Iraq. But the US didn't even say sorry to them.

US also attacked Afghanistan for more than two decades. The Taliban were ruling Afghanistan before US invasion of Afghanistan and they are still ruling Afghanistan after more than two decades of war by US in Afghanistan. The difference is that the Hasty, unplanned invasion has given the Taliban an airforce and an advanced army as the US left hundreds of airplanes, helicopters, tanks, advanced military gear and equipment for the Taliban to use.

Thanks to the US, the Taliban now have an “air force” with advanced choppers and planes with control over eleven military bases.

The US will increase arms sales across the world to many nations for security against the Taliban who have been armed by the US. A win-win situation for them.

Christian controlled media never questions the US for escalating arms race across the world. Even in the Russia Ukraine situation created by US and using Ukraine as a pawn, the US is behaving like a hypocrite. The US has not cut off oil and gas trade with Russia. 

But they want India to stand against Russia. This after Russia has saved India 6 times by using veto power against anti India resolution issues by various countries in the UNSC. Ukraine supported many of these resolutions that were against the sovereignty of India. Ukraine has armed Pakistan and stood against India on multiple occasions. Why is the US arm twisting and bullying India into opposing Russia and support Ukraine? No liberal Church controlled media will question US on such bullying.
