South China Sea China Angry over US criticism on Militarization
http://www.newsbharati.com/ South China Sea China Angry over US criticism on Militarization.
South China Sea missile deployment raises fears of deepening crisis TOKYO -- Tensions have risen further in the South China Sea following China's deployment of HQ-9 long-range surface-to-air missiles on a disputed island in the region, drawing condemnation from Washington. The presence of HQ-9, or Hongqi-9, missiles on Woody Island, known as Yongxing Island in China, has been confirmed by aerial photos. Taiwan's defense ministry also stated it is aware of the deployment. According to U.S. media reports, at least eight surface-to-air missile launchers and a radar system were confirmed to have been placed on the Island. The Paracel Islands, known as Xisha in China and Hoang Sa in Vietnam, are claimed by both countries as well as Taiwan. The development will cause great concern in Taipei and Hanoi. Moreover, it is an apparent contradiction of Chinese Presidnet Xi Jinping's September 2015 pledge to U.S. President Barack Obama that the South China Sea would not be militarized. The pledge was made in connection to the dispute over China's land reclamation activity on reefs in the area. "Xi has suffered a loss of face [at the hands of the U.S.] so he has probably taken a retaliatory measure," said a source familiar with China's security issues. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was resolute in his assessment, stating that China's deployment of defense facilities on an integral part of its territory falls within its sovereign rights and international law, and has nothing to do with "militarization." The Global Times, a tabloid owned by the party-controlled People's Daily, also defended the deployment. "The Xisha Islands are Chinese territory and have long been under China's actual control," said an editorial published on Feb. 19. "Island building in Nansha and missile deployment in Xisha are in accordance with international law." HQ-9 long-range surface-to-air missiles are displayed during a military parade in Beijing on Sept. 3, 2015. The Spratly Islands, known as the Nansha Islands in Chinese, are claimed either entirely or in part by China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei. Feb. 19 also saw an inspection of the People's Daily headquarters in Beijing by none other than Xi himself, and the editorial seems far from coincidental.

Saudi Invasion of Syria May Trigger World War-3
World War 3 Could Start This Month: 350,000 Soldiers In Saudi Arabia Stand Ready To Invade Syria
350,000 soldiers, 20,000 tanks, 2,450 warplanes and 460 military helicopters are massing in northern Saudi Arabia for a military exercise that is being called “Northern Thunder”. According to the official announcement, forces are being contributed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and several other nations. This exercise will reportedly last for 18 days, and during that time the airspace over northern Saudi Arabia will be closed to air traffic. This will be the largest military exercise in the history of the region, and it comes amid rumors that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are preparing for a massive ground invasion of Syria.
If you were going to gather forces for an invasion, this is precisely how you would do it. Governments never come out and publicly admit that forces are moving into position for an invasion ahead of time, so “military exercises” are a common excuse that gets used for this sort of thing.
If these exercises are actually being used as an excuse to mass forces near the northern Saudi border, then we should expect an invasion to begin within the next couple of weeks. If it happens, we should expect to see the Saudi coalition storm through western Iraq and into Syria from the south, and it is likely that Turkey will come in from the north.
The goal would be to take out the Assad regime before Russia, Iran and Hezbollah could react. For the past couple of years, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies have been funding the Sunni insurgency in Syria, and they were counting on those insurgents to be able to take down the Assad regime by themselves.
You see, the truth is that ISIS was never supposed to lose in Syria. Saudi Arabia and her allies have been funneling massive amounts of money to ISIS, and hundreds of millions of dollars of ISIS oil has been shipped into Turkey where it is sold to the rest of the world.
The major Sunni nations wanted ISIS and the other Sunni insurgent groups to take down Assad. In the aftermath, Saudi Arabia and her allies intended to transform Syria into a full-blown Sunni nation.
But then Russia, Iran and Hezbollah stepped forward to assist the Assad regime. Russian air support completely turned the tide of the war, and now the Sunni insurgents are on the brink of losing.
Aleppo was once the largest city in Syria, and Sunni insurgents have controlled it since 2012. But now relentless Russian airstrikes have made it possible for Syrian, Iranian and Hezbollah ground forces to surround the city, and it is about to fall back into the hands of the Syrian government.
If this happens, the war will essentially be over.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies have invested massive amounts of time, money and effort into overthrowing Assad, and they aren’t about to walk away now.
If the war was to end right at this moment, a weakened Assad regime would remain in power, and Iran and Hezbollah would be the dominant powers in the country for years to come. And once Assad died, it would be inevitable that Iran and Hezbollah would attempt to transform Syria into a full-blown Shiite nation. This is something that Saudi Arabia and Turkey want to avoid at all costs.
So they are actually considering what was once absolutely unthinkable – a massive ground invasion of Syria.
But if Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies go in, they run the risk of a full-blown war with Russia, Iran and Hezbollah. Just consider some of the comments that we have seen in recent days…
Reacting to a potential troop deployment, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said Saturday, “Let no one think they can attack Syria or violate its sovereignty because I assure you any aggressor will return to their country in a wooden coffin.”
Pavel Krasheninnikov, a deputy of Russia’s State Duma, has warned Saudi Arabia that any military ground operation in Syria without Damascus’ consent would amount to a declaration of war, Press TV reported.
We could literally be looking at the spark that sets off World War 3. I can’t believe that Saudi Arabia and Turkey are actually considering this.
And if it does happen, you can rest assured that Barack Obama gave them the green light to go in.
Unfortunately, it sounds like the decision may have already been made. Just consider what Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu is saying…
“If we have such a strategy, then Turkey and Saudi Arabia may launch a ground operation,” he added, fueling concerns that a foreign troop invasion may soon further complicate the already turbulent situation in the war-torn country.
Earlier, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE voiced their readiness to contribute troops for a ground operation in Syria on the condition that the US would lead the intervention. Damascus and its key regional ally, Iran, warned that such a foreign force would face strong resistance.
And in addition to all of the forces massing in northern Saudi Arabia, the London Independent is reporting that the Saudis have sent troops and aircraft to a military base in Turkey…
Saudi Arabia is sending troops and fighter jets to Turkey’s Incirlik military base ahead of a possible ground invasion of Syria.
The Turkish foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, confirmed the deployment in a statement to the Yeni Şafak newspaper on Saturday, days before a temporary ceasefire is due to come into force.
There are reports that Saudi officials are saying that the decision to send in ground troops is “irreversible”, and Reuters is reporting that the Syrian government claims that some Turkish troops have already entered the country…
The Syrian government says Turkish forces were believed to be among 100 gunmen it said entered Syria on Saturday accompanied by 12 pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, in an ongoing supply operation to insurgents fighting Damascus.
“The operation of supplying ammunition and weapons is continuing via the Bab al-Salama crossing to the Syrian area of Azaz,” the Syrian foreign ministry said in a letter to the U.N. Security Council published by state news agency SANA.
Of course the Turkish government is not going to confirm that report, but what we do know is that Turkey is shelling Kurdish forces on the Syrian side of the border. The funny thing is that these Kurdish forces are actually being supported and supplied by the U.S. government.
So the Turks are not supposed to be doing this, but according to Reuters they have been doing it for two days in a row anyway…
The Turkish army shelled positions held by Kurdish-backed militia in northern Syria for a second day on Sunday, killing two fighters, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
Turkey on Saturday demanded the powerful Syrian Kurdish YPG militia withdraw from areas that it had captured in the northern Aleppo region in recent days from insurgents in Syria, including the Menagh air base. The shelling has targeted those areas.
The hostility between Turkey and the Kurds goes back a long, long way. The Syrian Kurds are not threatening Turkey in any way right now, but Turkey is using the instability in the region as an excuse to lob artillery shells at a hated enemy. It is an act of naked aggression that the Obama administration should be loudly denouncing.
In addition, it is being reported that Syrian government forces have also been getting shelled by the Turkish military…
Anatolia news agency reported that the Turkish military hit Syrian government forces on Saturday, adding that the shelling had been in response to fire inflicted on a Turkish military guard post in Turkey’s southern Hatay region.
Turkish artillery targeted Syrian forces again late on Saturday, according to a military source quoted by RIA Novosti. The attack targeted the town of Deir Jamal in the Aleppo Governorate.
Needless to say, the Russians are quite alarmed by all of this.
In fact, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is warning about what could happen if things spiral out of control…
In the wake of Saudi Arabia’s proposal to send in ground troops on Thursday, the Russian Prime Minister claimed the move could spark a new world war.
“A ground operation draws everyone taking part in it into a war,” he told the Handelsblatt newspaper.
“The Americans and our Arab partners must consider whether or not they want a permanent war.”
If Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies launch an invasion and make a mad dash to take out the Assad regime in Damascus, the Russians will inevitably respond.
And if tactical nuclear weapons are necessary to keep the invading forces out of Damascus, the Russians will not be shy about using them.
I don’t know if I have ever seen a scenario which was more likely to initiate World War 3 than the one that we are watching unfold right now.
So what has the mainstream media been saying about all of this?
Incredibly, they have been almost entirely silent. When he went looking for news about these events, James Baileycould find almost nothing on either Fox News or CNN…
I just visited the home page for Foxnews.com and found not one single mention of the insane events now unfolding in the Middle East. I could not believe it, so I used my Find tool to search for Syria and Saudi Arabia. Not one mention!
Of course that could change at any moment, but nothing there when I checked. Their stories were all about the meaningless Presidential election, which has already been decided regardless of what we think about it, and other stories about entertainment, sports, Congressional political theater, etc.
So I went to CNN and found just about the same thing with one news story about the Syrian cease fire, but when I read it there was no mention of any of the big events that have developed this week. This is truly an amazing media blackout!
But Fox News does have space to run headlines like these…
–Spanish man skipped work for 6 years, still got paid
–48 people rescued from stuck tram cars at New Hampshire ski resort
–Lovelorn elephant takes out his rage on more than a dozen cars
And CNN apparently thinks that these news stories are more important than the potential beginning of World War 3…
–Kanye West drops album, says he’s $53 million in debt
–Dutch cops train eagles to hunt drones
–Teen hands out 900 flowers to girls at school
If Saudi Arabia, Turkey and their allies are going to conduct an invasion of Syria, the most likely time for this to happen will be by the end of this month during these military exercises.
If we can get to March 1st and no invasion has happened yet, perhaps we can breathe a little sigh of relief.
But if it does happen, and the Russians and the Iranians decide to shoot back, it really could be the start of World War 3.
If you have not been paying attention up until now, you need to start, because this could literally change everything.
350,000 soldiers, 20,000 tanks, 2,450 warplanes and 460 military helicopters are massing in northern Saudi Arabia for a military exercise that is being called “Northern Thunder”. According to the official announcement, forces are being contributed by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Sudan, Kuwait, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia and several other nations.

Fr.Albert Published Stolen Article from Online Sources in Shillong Times
The row which started after RSS maiden route march in Meghalaya capital Shillong refusing to die. My friend and retired Indian Air Force- IAF officer Mr. Chandrashekhar has sent me few links, which show intelligent plagiarism skills of Catholic priest Fr.Albert Thyrniang. It is practical example to prove Mr Arun Shourie's theory of "ECHO CHAMBER".Let me tell you, from which authentic, knowledgeable resources Fr.Albert bartered or say stolen, facts for his RSS bashing article in Shillong Times. He could have quoted references from which he picked up his knowledge to hit RSS, but he didn't, as his "Noble" tradition don't allow him to mention original source of WISDOM. The history of Plagiarism in Catholic Christianity is as old as it's so called foundation years, that is 2100 years old. I will describe it later, with the reference of revelation made by "Dead Sea Scrolls".At first let me take X-Ray of Fr.Albert scholarly plagiarism.
The RSS bashing first article in this series appeared about 16 years ago, in "Economic and Political Weekly" of January 22, 2000. The author of the article was Marzia Casolari and title was, "Hindutva’s Foreign Tie-up in the 1930s" (www.sacw.net/DC/CommunalismCollection/ArticlesArchive/casolari.pdf)
Later same article was put in new mold with pinch of new spices and colors added in it by Palash Ghosh in "International Business Times" and title was "Hindu Nationalist’s Historical Links to Nazism and Fascism" ( www.ibtimes.com/hindu-nationalists-historical-links-nazism-fascism-214222) Fr. Albert was in so hurry while copying and pasting the article for Shillong Times, that he didn't take enough care to change the title of article, instead, he removed just first section of the title and replaced it with "Shillong RSS". What a great art of plagiarism!!All the three articles have unique theme, unique allegations and deep hate for RSS.
The Shillong Times should employ best editorial team to avoid repeating such ridiculous stolen material being published in its paper.
Plagiarism by Catholic Church and Dead Sea Scrolls Revelations- The Dead Sea Scrolls 950+ texts discovered in 1946 and onward in Qumran Caves near Dead Sea in the West Bank area (Now Palestine and Israel). These scrolls were closely guarded in French Nunnery of Bethlehem by Vatican, as initial research convinced Catholic Church that it may shatter the myth of Roman Catholicism. But British scholars bugged the staff of French Nunnery and smuggled photocopied Dead Sea Scrolls to Britain in 90's. Dead Sea Scrolls are written in Aramaic language which was mother tongue of Jews, 2000 years ago. The language is extinct now. Critical analysis of Dead Sea Scrolls, convinced the scholars in Europe , that present New Testament is just translation of original Aramaic Gospel of Church of James. The European scholars concluded that, concept of arrival of Messiah was predominant in Middle-Eastern tribes at the time of Roman Empire, and Jews expected and predicted arrival of Messiah called James, to defeat Roman Emperor and authored Gospel of James to draw inspiration. But mighty Roman Forces crushed Jewish resistance and destroyed Church of James.
After pulverizing Jewish resistance Romans swung into damage control exercise and just accepted Gospel of James, translated it from Aramaic to Roman, replaced the James with Jesus and thus Catholic Christianity took its present shape. During the same period, Pagans and aboriginal of Middle-East used to worship Sun God Mithra and they assumed Mithra's birthday on December 25. To avoid repeated clashes with hostile Jewish people, Romans accepted birth date of Mithra, i.e. December 25 as the birth day of Jesus and thus Jesus took birth on December 25.
Almost 250 years of establishment of superimposed, bartered version of New Testament Roman Emperor Constantine The Great issued decree, banning almost 450 versions of Gospel, being used by local tribes. Constantine The Great used all means of power, threat and violence to cease and destroy each and every version of Gospel, to make New Testament only authentic document on Christianity.
The whole account and analysis of Dead Sea Scrolls is available in N.S. Rajaraman's famous, scholarly book, "Profiles in Deception- Ayodhya and Dead Sea Scrolls" The book is available on all online sellers like Flipkart and Amazon, one can buy and read it in detail.
Conclusion:- The Plagiarism of Fr.Albert is not new for Catholic Christianity, but it is the common practice in Vatican and as old as its history.

Another response to Editor Shillong Times
Dear Madam,
Thank you very much for letting know whole Meghalaya who conspired, abducted and killed Bah Rijoy Singh Khongshah by publishing my article. You deserve appreciation for publishing RSS views in Shillong Times.
So far, RSS never used legal ways to counter incessant tirade against RSS by communist and foolish secular ideologies, but now RSS follow legal path. It is fundamental right to counter misleading propaganda through court of law. If you read it as VEHEMENT, Aggressive, intolerant behavior then it is unfortunate. Do you suggest anti RSS propaganda should be countered by attacking responsible people on streets? How senior journalist like YOU can suggest RSS to attack people on streets making baseless allegations instead of exploring legal options?
If anyone makes baseless allegation against RSS, shall we call YOU to seek opinion? Shall we turn blind all? Shall we allow News Traders to run such agenda without being countered? Is is unconstitutional way? Once again YOU are denying RSS fundamental rights.
In India, even dreaded terrorists, anti-national elements gathers huge support and principle of "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is regularly employed to defend them. Dr Binayak Sen, Prof Sai Baba enjoys huge media, intellectual support under "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" principle.
But same principle of "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is reversed when dealing with RSS. For Indian media and intelligentsia allegations against RSS are weighed on the basis of "Guilty Unless Proven Innocent". Is it not a joke?
While thrashing this typical behavior veteran journalist said in his book "For our friends in media Commission of Inquiry is TRUTHFUL only if is is USEFUL in proving RSS false allegations against Sangh Parivar.
Numerous commission of inquiry found not a single bit of evidence against RSS in anti-Muslim, anti- Christian violence, Justice Wadhva Commission in Graham Staines murder case found no links between Darasingh and Hindu Groups, but Justice Wadhava categorically said Graham Stains aggressive evangelization program aggrieved local resulting into violent backlash. In Gandhi murder no factual, substantial evidence found against RSS. But still RSS is being used in India as Punching Bag to hide their own failures..
Arun Shourie put forth theory of ECHO CHAMBER being used by anti-Hindutva forces. As per Shourie's theory, one newspaper/ TV channel publishes the news, "Nun raped in India". Immediately newspapers around the world picks up the news and caters to respective audience all over the world. After getting published in world media, Indian media publishes same news with reference to AUTHENTIC foreign media like BBC or CNN. After wide exposure to "Rape on Nun" news all over the world, Indian authorities starts inquiring the incidence and ultimately finds nothing but local brawl between two groups within Church, NO Nun is being RAPED, not just slightly touched. but the ECHO CHAMBER already inflict huge damage to reputation of victimized Hindu Group. Same happened in Zabua Nun Rape case in Madhya Pradesh.
Madam, I humbly want to request you, please STOP publishing articles with unsubstantiated allegations, especially from people like Fr Albert, whose patron institution, i.e. Vatican or say Catholic Church has so far issued more than 20 apologies, for the reasons ranging from massacres, clergy Sex scandals, looting to atrocities on aboriginals in Australia. And YET to issue apology for ruthless inquisition which Vatican established against Goa Christians to torture and kill them, for following original Hindu ritual even being converted to Catholic Christianity. Please go through the book authored by Anant Kakba Priolkar's "The Goa Inquisition", narrating horrifying accounts of brutal inhuman atrocities on Goa Catholics by their own Vatican. there is Memorial built for such Victims of Vatican Inquisition in Kunkali Catholic Church in Goa.
Though I appreciate your unbiased journalism for juxtaposing both views, I can term your behavior as "Running With The Hare and Hunting With The Hounds", which will create difficulty in near future.
Once again, I request you to have a respect for RSS' right to use constitutional right to explore legal means and don't term it as INTIMIDATION.
I can say there are serious flaws in your editorial policies, which are exposed in this matter, and request you to correct it.
Thanks you very much
Vinay Joshi
...................
Editor Shillong Times letter,
The Shillong Times has not come under any pressure to publish your views. It is our time-tested practice to publish counterpoints on any article or news item that has appeared in our newspaper. Everyone has the right to express opinions but no one holds the right to intimidate others by way of legal action only because of a write-up. If you wish to initiate legal action do so without making it look like the sword of Damocles. I know many people in the RSS whose views are moderate and who will argue out their case without getting vehement. But I also know that there is a growing brigade of intolerant people who have joined the RSS and are tarnishing the fair image of the Sangh.
Editor

Please go through the book authored by Anant Kakba Priolkar's "The Goa Inquisition", narrating horrifying accounts of brutal inhuman atrocities on Goa Catholics by their own Vatican. there is Memorial built for such Victims of Vatican Inquisition in Kunkali Catholic Church in Goa.
Though I appreciate your unbiased journalism for juxtaposing both views, I can term your behavior as "Running With The Hare and Hunting With The Hounds", which will create difficulty in near future.
Once again, I request you to have a respect for RSS' right to use constitutional right to explore legal means and don't term it as INTIMIDATION.
I can say there are serious flaws in your editorial policies, which are exposed in this matter, and request you to correct it.
Thanks you very much
Vinay Joshi

Editor Shillong Times letter,
The Shillong Times has not come under any pressure to publish your views. It is our time-tested practice to publish counterpoints on any article or news item that has appeared in our newspaper. Everyone has the right to express opinions but no one holds the right to intimidate others by way of legal action only because of a write-up. If you wish to initiate legal action do so without making it look like the sword of Damocles. I know many people in the RSS whose views are moderate and who will argue out their case without getting vehement. But I also know that there is a growing brigade of intolerant people who have joined the RSS and are tarnishing the fair image of the Sangh.

The Shillong Times in One More Legal Difficulty for Prof. Bhogtoram Mawroh's Article
To,
Shri Bhogtoram Mawroh,
Faculty of the Geography Department, NEH
With reference to your article MARCHING WITH THE KHAKI: A FIGHT BACK BY A DISAPPEARING PEOPLE
Here I want to let you know that I have personally initiated criminal defamation court suit against Editor Shillong Times and Fr. Albert for his baseless article in the newspaper in response to RSS route march in Shillong.
With this email I want to ask you whether you have any evidences from competent judicial, legal or government authority to prove your quotes in your aforesaid article and especially lines mentioned below.
"It is also disturbing because RSS has been associated with various acts of violence especially against the minorities. Its ideology of an exclusive Hindu nation which does not recognize other belief systems has always been a threat to the idea of a secular and plural India. This is the group that reveres Mahatma Gandhi’s killer as a hero!"
If you have substantial evidences to prove your allegations against RSS, kindly tender it to me within 15 days from today. In case, you fails to do so, I will unilaterally initiate another punitive criminal defamation suit against YOU for spreading rumors and hate as well as intentional criminal defamation of a social group and personalities to punish YOU. I will make The Shillong Times Editor and Owner co-party in the case.
I will not be responsible for financial, personal or any other damage caused to you due to this court suit.
Regards,
Vinay Joshi

Reply to Patricia Mukhim's Letter to Me- RSS Maiden Route March in Shillong
Dear Patricia Madam,
Do you mean freedom of expression is mud sledging? lodging unsubstantiated allegations? misusing newspaper for making prototype allegations which are never proved in court of law?
As per my knowledge of Freedom of expression, it never allows anyone to tarnish the image of person or organization.
If Freedom of expression is so cheap in nature, then, Shall I make allegation against any journalist, author, publication that so and so person uses Ghost Writers and puts the article written by Ghost Writers as his/ her own? Shall I make allegation by exploiting Freedom Of Expression that "Patricia Mukhim" has employed scores of Ghost Writers to author articles and SHE used to publish these articles pretending to be authored by HER? Is this Freedom of Expression?
Prejudice coupled with Gobelian Propaganda can be dangerous coktail, it may backfire on you.
RSS always welcomed positive criticism. But never used force, intimidation and conspiracy as a tool to neutralize its opponents.
You knows well what happened to Bah Rijoy Singh Khongsah for his association with RSS. Rojoy Singh was veteran indigenous Seng Khasi leader, who received repeated threats for his work for indigenous culture and Niam Tynrai religion. Rijoy Singh didn't bowed to pressure but ultimately lost his life. Do you attribute Rijoy Singh's murder to High Democratic principles? Was it not Nazi and Fascist ideology of eliminating opponents in cold blooded manner?
You knows well what happened to Arnab Hajong, veteran Hajong author from Garo Hills for taking side of Bangla script Hajong language instead of Roman script. He vehemently opposed using Roman Script for Hajong language replacing Bangla, which is being used as official script since hundreds of years. Arnab Hajong received threats for his views, he ignored it and finally physically assaulted on Garobadha bridge. NO Police station registered FIR in the matter, HE approached Guwahati High Court, and Meghalaya Police registered FIR only after Hon High Court compelled Police to register FIR.
Madam, Freedom of Expression is not a joke and no one other than RSS and Indigenous Faith Groups in North-East India knows the real meaning of Freedom Of Expression, as RSS and Indigenous Faith Groups have lost scores of dedicated cadres to safeguard Freedom of Expression. YOU, being a senior professional and dedicated journalist knew what price RSS and Indigenous Faith Groups paid heavy price to defend Freedom of Expression, but still it would be appropriate to recall the list of those who sacrificed for defending Democracy and High moral values within last 30 years in North East India. Here is the list.
1) Bah Rijoy Singh Khongshah- Meghalaya-Abducted & Murdered for serving ancient Niam Tynrai faith
2) Arnab Hajong- Garo Hills- Brutally assaulted for taking side of Bangla script and opposing Roman script,
3) Swami Shanti Kali Maharaj- Tripura- Murdered for trying to preserve indigenous religion of Tripura Tribals,
4) Pramod Dixit- Assam- Shot dead for being dedicated to social service
5) Shuklewar Medhi- Assam- Veteran professor and RSS leader shot dead for serving society,
6) Bineshwar Brahma of Bodo Sahitya Sabha killed for opposing Roman script to Bodo language,
7) Muraidharan- RSS Pracharak killed in Assam for society.
8) Shyamal Kanti Sengupta- RSS Pracharak abducted & killed in Tripura,
9) Sudhamoy Dutta- RSS Pracharak abducted & killed in Tripura
10) Dinendranath Dey- RSS Pracharak abducted & killed in Tripura
11) Shubhankar Chakraborti- RSS Pracharak abducted & killed in Tripura.
The list of victims of religious and political persecution is unending in North-East India. Senior journalist Nitin Gokhale had wrote article in Tehelka few years ago on the topic of religious persecution of tribals in Chanlang and Tirap here is the link of that article http://archive.tehelka.com/story_main4.asp?filename=Ne071004lord_of_the.asp
Please go through it to know what is going on in North East.
Now I will take note of Mr Albert Thyrniang, the author of RSS bashing article in your paper.
As per website of Don Bosco Tura (www.donboscoindia.org) Mr.Albert Thyrniang is Catholic Father. It means he is religious leader. The common man always takes religious leaders very seriously, which increases the responsibility of religious leaders manifold. The word and deeds of religious leaders are precious, and people expect, these words must be 100% true and logical, it should not contain fabrication and manipulation, must be free from chicanery. But Fr. Albert failed on all criterion. It would be fair for his reputation and post he adorns, had he cross checked his doubts by directly contacting RSS leaders in the region, but he didn't. Instead of doing that he used run-on-the-mill allegations to corner RSS. I firmly say, it won't work anymore.
Finally I will analyze overwhelming participation of indigenous youth in RSS Path Sanchalan (route march) in Shillong. It is the manifestation of tremendous confidence that is developed in the youth from Khasi and Jaintia community, which led them to participate in the RSS march. In the absence of RSS these youths from indigenous communities would had chosen another platform to express themselves. The valid mode of expression and due respect has been denied to indigenous tribes of North east India by many factors. So, they chose RSS, nothing objectionable in it.
After the abduction of Rijoy Singh Khongshah, people from indigenous faith had took a huge procession in Shillong in year 2001 and about 20 to 30 thousand people participated in the procession, to express their anger against their religious persecution. This time they took out not to protest anyone but to express their confidence in their Way of Life, which was suppressed for so long. PLEASE don't deny their constitutional right, PLEASE don't condemn them, PLEASE respect them, as doing so will ONLY increase your respect and space in the society.
LAST POINT:- This is 2016, where internet has teared apart all myths and concocted theories. People can search for the knowledge and information and decides their views, so don't try to spread concocted, manipulated and fabricated theories and the guise of TRUTH.
Conclusion:- The attempts to defame RSS and to lodge unsubstantiated allegations against RSS won't be tolerated anymore and it will be DEALT with firmly by exploiting all valid, legal and constitutional means.
Patricia Mukhim's Reply to My Legal Notice
In a democracy citizens have the freedom to express all kinds of views. Albert Thyrniang has expressed his discomfort about a certain event that happened on Jan 23. Those who disagree with his views have equal right to discount or to counter his views. This newspaper publishes all kinds of viewpoints and has no political/ideological leanings whatsoever. This attitude of making a legal case is one that depicts a reluctance for pluralism. If you have contraries viewpoints you are welcome to express them by countering Albert Thyrniang's points.
