Rape in India seems to have no significance if the victim is a Hindu

In India, a rape has significance mostly if the victim is a non-Hindu or a so called Dalit Hindu and the perpetrator of the crime is a Hindu. 

If this is the case, it attains National significance and candle light vigils will be held to be extensively covered by the National Media. The narrative can be extended to equate the religion itself as an oppressive one, specially against women and to link it with the BJP. Such continuous propaganda also has its electoral value. It also aims to tarnish the image of Hindu society in the eyes of the world.

India has one of the lowest rates of Rape, recorded per 100,000 of the population, in the world. 

This assumes greater significance in a population count of 1.35 billion which is equivalent to 17.74% of the total world population living in 2.4% of the total land area of the world. 

And, yet, it is being portrayed not only as though its the rape center of the world, but also as though its a place where particularly minorities are not only raped but killed regularly.

You can see how the caption is worded to convey the right effect and association. 

This is the place where the supposed incident has taken place. The place is not even a temple.

Till now, it is not even established that there has been a rape, although an innocent girl has been killed. However, already the association of a temple, Hindu, BJP and PM Modi has been elaborately circulated.

In the last 4 months, there were equally gruesome rapes committed on Hindu girls, yet they were not significant enough for the same candle light parties. They did not even merit enough coverage. Its another of things that Hindus are expected to tolerate.

Some of the reports in the media take particular care not to mention the religion of rapist or the victim. No national outrage, no extended discussions by the Lutyens on TV. 

While rape should not be tolerated in any society, Hindus need to wake up to the motive behind such coverage and be aware of who supports such lopsided expression of support.

Below are the extracts from the gruesome incidents that did not merit the nation's so called seculars.

In Assam, minor dies after being gang-raped, set on fire

A minor died in Assam’s Nagaon district on Friday after she was gang-raped by three – two of them juveniles – and set on fire. The incident happened at Lalunggaon, about 125 km from Guwahati, under the Batadraba police station on Friday evening. Police said the Class V student, died of more than 95% burns. Local residents found her in a critical condition and admitted her to the Nagaon Civil Hospital from where she was transferred to the Guwahati Medical College Hospital.

The police said the accused – Jakir Hussain, 21, and the two juveniles belonging to the same village of the victim, raped the girl when she was alone at home, doused her with kerosene and set her on fire. “We arrested the two teenagers on Friday and are searching for the third,” Shankar Brata Raimedhi, Nagaon District Superintendent of Police, told The Hindu.

The name of the accused is Abdul Shahid.

RANCHI: In a disturbing incident, a Hindu woman was first gang-raped and later murdered by her in-laws after she reportedly refused to convert herself to Islam post her marriage with a Muslim man. As per the police, the victim married Adil against their parents' choice last month and the couple reached his uncle's home in Bokaro. The uncle, in return, informed Adil's father and called him at his place. The couple, then were told by the father-uncle that since the girl is of different religion, she has to convert herself to Islam first. However, this demand was immediately turned down by the girl, after which the father offered to drop the duo to a nearest railway station so that they could head to Ranchi and live there. However, the father-uncle took the couple to a jungle route via Rajabeda Halt where they took turns to rape the girl and later killed her in the bushes.

Bakarwals, Hindus living in harmony, media wrong about us’

The decades old relationship between the Bakarwal Muslim community in Rasana village in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kathua district and fellow villagers who are predominantly Hindu, was neither acrimonious nor has it become bitter now after the alleged gang-rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl from the Bakarwal community, allegedly by eight individuals, including one juvenile. This flies in the face of what is being portrayed by the international media and a very large section of the national media.

According to Kant Sharma, who was until recently the sarpanch (head) of Kota panchayat in Kathua district under which Rasana comes, every villager in the panchayat was sad over the misfortune that the girl and her family members had faced.

“Woh hamari bhi bachchi thi (She was our child too). We are all in shock. In our community, we treat every child, every member as part of one big family. I am more than 50 years old and the Bakarwals have been living with us from a time even before I was born. You can come and check if there have been any instances of dispute between the two communities all these years. The media is turning this whole incident to suit its narrative and no one is interested in talking to us. We (Bakarwals and Hindus) have been living together since ages and even today we met each other and shared our pain over this horrific crime. Why is the media painting this whole thing to suggest as if a section of the villagers are defending the crime just because it was perpetrated against the Bakarwals?” he asked.

According to him there was not an iota of truth in the story that was being peddled by the media, including BBC, that the Hindu villagers did not allow the parents of the girl to bury her in the limits of the village. “This is absolutely wrong. I implore you to come to this place and see for yourself what the truth is. She was buried in a graveyard located in Bandinaal mohalla, which is the local graveyard of the area. Why would anyone do such a thing to a family which is facing so much trauma? It is a fabricated story and we are so upset over the way the propaganda is being spread regarding this village community,” he said.

“We are not defending the crime. I also have children and the murder has happened in my panchayat and I am as affected as the parents of the girl. There is absolutely no truth that we (Hindus) want to scare them away. We have been living together for so many years. It is we who have sold them land on which they have built houses and settled. Why are people alleging that they are trying to take away our land due to which tension is happening between the two communities? Sale and purchase are done mutually as in any other village of India. They are as much part of the community as we are. At least 200 Bakarwals live with us. The Kashmir based leaders are fanning this propaganda and making it a Hindu-Muslim issue as they want to drive a wedge between the two communities so that they can take electoral benefits,” Kant Sharma alleged.

He confirmed that the parents of the deceased girl too had bought a plot in the village and were living in a pucca house for years. He said that the parents are in touch with Rasana residents and are now presently in Udhampur, headed for Kargil with their cattle.

Another local, who did not want to be identified, claimed that the media and the information wing of the J&K government were behind the whole “propaganda”. “We have been sitting in protest for the last two weeks seeking an impartial probe in the matter, as we do not trust the police team that carried out the probe. We have very strong reasons not to trust their work. The main objective of our protest is not to save the criminals who killed one of our daughters, but to see to it that the real accused who are still roaming free are caught. However, the media and the local government are trying to portray it as if we are protesting the arrest of these eight individuals since they are from the Hindu community. It is not about Hindu or Muslim, as the politicians are peddling it. We just want an inquiry from the CBI and let them arrest whoever is involved in this heinous crime, even if they are from our village,” he said.

The locals are asking why officers from Kashmir conducted the investigation when the crime took place in Jammu. “So many rules and regulations were not followed in this case. Why were officers from Kashmir assigned the case? Why was a tainted police officer, who is himself facing rape and murder charges (Irfan Wani) made a part of the team? Was not Ramesh Jalla, the SSP who headed the team, just a face while the real investigation was being carried out by another officer of the Kashmir Crime Branch? And Jalla went on protest leave because of this”, a local school teacher claimed to this newspaper over phone.

According to the locals, the Devisthan (temple) where the police is claiming the girl was confined and raped before being murdered, is a place which is open to public view. “It is a local community place of the size of 20×20 feet with doors and windows. The keys of the temple are with three different people from the Jangotra community who take care of the temple. It is impossible that such a heinous crime was being perpetrated over there for so many days and no one noticed. The state government wanted to fan a riot in this place. This is all an elaborate plan in which they are using the death of the child,” a village elder said.

Jammu based lawyer Ankur Sharma, who has filed several PILs against the J&K government in the past and is going to represent the accused in the present case along-with another lawyer, said that knowingly a wrong narrative was being cooked up by the media that Hindus were supporting the accused.

“We are not even asking why only Hindus are being arrested. Our only demand is that the government should order an impartial probe under CBI, as villagers and locals of the affected area believe that the wrong individuals have been arrested by the local police. Is that a big thing to ask for? Even a novice lawyer will tell you that the charge-sheet filed in the case is very weak and it will not stand judicial scrutiny. A murder has been committed and we want the real accused to be arrested,” he told The Sunday Guardian.

Perhaps for the First Time, the accused is Demanding a Nacro Test. It also transpires that they have not been provided a copy of the charge sheet.

The eight people accused of raping and killing an eight-year-old in January last in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, on Monday pleaded not guilty and asked the judge for a narco analysis test.

As the trial in the case, which has become the focal point of outrage across the country, began in Kathua, seven of the accused were produced before District and Sessions Judge Sanjay Gupta, who asked the State Crime Branch to give them copies of the charge sheet and fixed April 28 as the next date of hearing.

See how quickly protests are being organized and the handles that are used. The name South Asia solidarity shows the Nexus between Islamic states, commies & Dumeels who are controlled by the church.

Paid activists are available for all causes functioning within a mutually rewarding the system.

Violence perpetrated in Kerala in the areas where Hindus are a minority, in the name of this rape.

The real intention - defaming Hinduism in every possible way. Again, how quickly all such material is made available to spread over social media.

The fabricated and incendiary tales about the still unknown events surrounding the tragic death of an eight-year-old girl in Rassana village, district Kathua, Jammu province, are beginning to unravel. Despite changing the investigation team thrice, the State has not been able to establish a case that can stand in court.

Here is an interesting post on this subject

What is your take on the "I am Hindustan, I am ashamed" trend in the Bollywood? Are the Bollywood stars blaming the Hindus or the Modi Government?

Abdul Qadir

Rape is one of the most abhorrent act that a man can do. It’s a reminder to us that some of us have still not evolved to be humans. The rape and murder of a kid in Kathua (J&K) was a grim reminder of that. The police inquiry said the rape was done in a religious place and carried out people of different faith. That entailed series of protests and some Bollywood actors protested like this.

“I am Hindustan

I am Ashamed

#Justice for Asifa

8 Year old Gangraped Murdered

in “Devi” -Stan

Temple #Kathua”[1]

Were they justified?

We should know what all transpired. But before we begin all of us agree on three things-

• The Rape of that little girl or any girl for that matter is dastardly and satanic act
• The Rapists must be Punished
• And no innocent should get punished

Our objective should be to have an educated opinion rather than being part of a herd. Let’s start.

THE VICTIM:

The victim is an 8 year old girl from Bakarwal tribal who are basically nomads. The girl was adopted by her parents.

THE CASE:

In Jan 10 2018, the girl went missing when she had gone to graze her horses. Her dead body was discovered a week later. A 15 year old boy was initially arrested as suspect.

And with in weeks, the Govt in J&K formed a new SIT with members mostly from Kashmir region and they charged four people and said that the girl was held captive in a place of worship place for days. The lawyers in Jammu protested and alleged that the charge-sheet was “motivated” and out of the 5 people SIT, two are tainted officers.

In April 2018, lawyers started creating a ruckus, demanding CBI inquiry. Some of them actually crossed the limit in fit of rage and tried to stop the charge-sheet being produced in the court. People carried out marches in their support of a Federal inquiry.

DOES THE CASE ACTUALLY MERIT A CBI INVESTIGATION?

a) SIT team composition: The SIT team comprises of 5 members; two which are allegedly tainted officers. One of the officers, Irfan Wani had been arrested for murder and rape of a girl in illegal custody. Mr Wani has fare political inclination given that he squarely blamed BJP for the FIRs back then in a recent interview. So one may argue that there are strong chances of the officer’s political inclinations against a Party to effect the investigation.

b) Crime scene alleged in the new charge-sheet:

To be fair I came across an answer on Quora which describe the crime scene “Devistan” . And I was actually surprised to see that it was merely a room with big windows without curtains. So I did a quick Youtube search if that content is fake or not. But it wasn’t wrong:

Some facts about the alleged crime scene:

1. The place is a single room.
2. It has three doors, key to each door lies with three villages.
3. The temple was daily visited by devotees of the three villages.
4. One of the door is half grilled so that you can see the entire room from there. Below is the snapshot.

5. It has four big grilled windows adjacent to doors from which the entire room is visible.

Now the charge-sheet says, that the girl was held captive in the room above for four days between 10 January and 14 January, 2018 without any devotee from the three villages noticing the girl.

It appears to be a bit less probabilistic that somebody could be hidden in a room whose interiors is visible from 5 cutouts (4 windows and one door) at different angles, without anybody noticing it. And given the room is frequented by men and women from three villages on daily basis twice a day, the police is bound to face a lot of searching questions in the court.

c) The accused:

According to SIT 8 accused from different ages ranging from 60s to some in their teens. Main accused is a retired Govt officer, while there are several students and policemen who are alleged to be involved in the conspiracy

The main accused Sanjhi ram is a retired official from revenue department and had been raising voice against stay of Bakarwals and Rohingyas in the locality. He is alleged to have called his son (Vishal) from Meerut especially to commit the crime. I don’t know but I wonder if a father can actually call his son from studies just to commit a sexual crime given the father was a retired Govt official and not a hardcore criminal.

d) Accused request for polygraph test:

Most of the times, it is seen that accused try to avoid Narco test. But in this case all the accused are demanding the Narco test to be done on them.

e) Victim Family vehemently against CBI Probe:

While most of times across India people demand for CBI probe but in this case the family has not only denied the CBI probe but they have threatened to launch an agitation if CBI probe is ordered.

One group is alleging that the investigation was done by Mehbooba to reinvigorate her vote bank in Kashmir which allegedly holds anti Hindu sentiment (referring to the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir valley in 1990s). And those people are targeted to sabotage the movement against demographic change in Jammu which was gaining momentum in past few months. Could Sanjhi Ram have been targeted for him being part of the movement?

I think given the sensitivity of the case and lot of angles to be covered, one may argue that it merits a CBI investigation. We can relate to a recent incident in Murder case of a boy Pradyuman in Gurgaon Ryan School Murder case, the state police bungled the investigation and implicated an innocent driver. It was only after the CBI investigated that the real culprit who happen to be from influential family was caught.

SHOULD HINDUS BE BLAMED?

The murder even if committed is a hate crime in certain corner of the country. To blame almost a billion Hindus for an isolated incident is a  much foolish generalization. There will be millions who won’t even know about the case. And most of my friends who come from all religious background were aghast at the crime.

Then why should Hindustan be ashamed when most of them condemn the act? I was aghast when Huma Qureshi chose to hold placard to specifically target a religion and the religious place. May be she fell for the agenda of a group in Bollywood which arguably comes from a certain ideology. 

But what that it did was instigated others to delve out cases where Muslims did rape, some of them in Mosques. I saw people sharing a recent news of revelation of molestation of ladies in Hajj and how people tried to howl down those who chose to open up because it was defaming the religion. What if Hindus start carrying such a placard writing the way Huma chose to wrote?

How would Huma feel if she is blamed for the acts of grooming gangs which sexually exploited thousand of British kids for more than a decade? I never saw a Pakistani guy ever holding a placard despite an overwhelming number of the gangs members were of Pakistani heritage. How is this 8 year old girl different than thousands of little British girls?

Let me tell you, a few years back a Muslim Godman, Gulzar Ahmed Bhat raped more than 500 little girls in Jammu and Kashmir region. But we didn’t see a single guy protesting. How is this girl different from more than 500 girls not to deserve a countrywide protest?

And recently I was messaged if I condemned the incident where a 76 year man Abdul Wahab made a repeatedly raped a 12 year child and impregnated her[16]. Of course I do.

What if Hindus had started responding the way Huma Quershi responded?

We have to ask our self, are we angry at the brutal rape?

or that the rape is by a Hindu of a Muslim girl?

Would our outrage for rape depend upon if it is an inter religion rape?

I saw an answer here on Quora where a drawing of Hindu religious symbols were used as prop to depict the victim. What has a trident (trishool) to do with the case? How can those who support response to blasphemy in Danish cartoon[17]support such blasphemy under the garb of justice for the girl?

My point is some people are brazenly using the death of the child to endorse their religious, political and cultural bias. I came to know Ravish Kumar did a series of Prime time debates on the issue but the same man was silent when his real brother (Brajesh Pandey) and Bihar congress VP raped a minor Dalit girl for an extended period some time back[18]. Normally a Brahmin politician raping a Dalit girl becomes a headline for him. Should journalists only react when it suits their political interest?

In all that naming and shaming politics somewhere the justice for the little girl is lost.

LET’S BE OBJECTIVE AND NOT A LYNCH-MOB:

We must ensure that rather than being emotional we are objective in our analysis and refuse to be part of a lynchmob and gyrate over opinion on basis of what media is trying to show us. Our endeavor should be to force the govt to do a searching investigation to punish the culprits in fast track court and not bring the religious angle to dilute the gravity of the crime.

Social media manipulation and trend management of Kathua incident

I have no soft corner for any heinous criminals. Nor do I support the heinous crimes of journalists of crying wolf, at a time that suits them. But, this guy @WrongDoc on Twitter just spent 30 minutes and was able to call the bluff around this crime and the media/political propaganda, which is being spun to make fools out of common citizens. Read on!

See how the Kathua twitter activity started trending – how this is a social media manipulation and trend management.

I checked the Twitter Trend statistics for and found that it peaked interest late on 9th April 2018. The day ‘s farce of a fast was ridiculed. The Kathua case happened in January 2018.

This is the last three months twitter activity of Kathua hashtag. The crime was discovered and first arrest made on 19th January- so it takes in account the whole timeline. See when the interest peaked?

The Twitter activity started with This tweet according to http://keyhole.coanalysis. The handle belongs to a journalist who works for – which is run by . This was the kindling.

Next influential tweet about Kathua comes from Barkha. Then and then you can see the following order.

These are the handles that chronologically followed tweeting in synchronicity about Kathua, after this dog whistle was sent out from Print Journo of Shekhar Gupta and Barkha of Quint.

Tweet activity started as clockwork with synchronised timing at 2:30 pm (time zone reference may change actual time) on 12th and 13th April. On 12th April by 7:30 pm the activity was dead but by 13th it grew into real people outraging- the manipulation was successful.

I again checked the chronicity of tweets for last 3 months- to include the full timeline of the crime’s course. No significant interest in twitter outrage before trigger on 9th and 10th.

This is the world-map of influence about Kathua tweets in last 3 months. Interestingly, Russia features here!

As I give it some time, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Senegal, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan (naturally!) Phillipines also start lighting up on the tracker.

I’m not discrediting or denying your emotions and rage about the Kathua case. You are right to feel angry, I feel much the same. But what exactly are you angry about? Who are you letting use your anger?

Blood and bones of Asifa Bano are being ground up to fertilize your anger, your emotions. Your anger and emotions are being harvested to feed the political hunger of people who go on symbolic fast. Don’t feed their greed now, or they sure will sacrifice another one another day.

This emotional manipulation and outrage harvest are the tools of social media propaganda. This is what Zuckerberg admitted to selling. This is what Twitter is doing, knowingly or otherwise. This is why there was a Hand on the wall of the Cambridge Analytica office.

Don’t you feel fucking stupid, outraging about Cambridge Analytica one day and falling victim to engineered social media outrage harvesting your emotions over the carcass of a child the very next day? Did you think the data harvesters wanted to see your selfies??

The Kathua rape case, which shook the conscience of the entire nation, took a new twist today when the three witnesses in the case - Neeraj Sharma, Sachin Sharma and Vishal Sharma - turned hostile and said that the Jammu and Kashmir Police tortured them into giving a statement against their friend and accused Vishal Jangotra. Vishal is the cousin of the juvenile who elegiacally kidnapped the eight-year-old and called Vishal to Kathua with an offer that he can rape the girl. 
 
The three witnesses have said that the police pressurised them to give a statement that Vishal was in Kathua from January 12-15. They had earlier told the Crime Branch of the J&K Police that Vishal was in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar in the said period. But the police torture and custody made them change their statement. 
 
ZEE News interviewed all three witnesses in the case - Neeraj Sharma, Sachin Sharma and Vishal Sharma. This is a serious allegation against the J&K Police. Zee News, in its quest for truth, had earlier shown a report on April 16 which revealed the truth about the incident. 
 
The report was based on facts gathered from the village where this incident happened. The report was taken very seriously by the villagers in Kathua who did not believe on the investigation done by the Crime Branch of J&K Police. Zee News was also questioned, that it is trying to help the accused. But these allegations are wrong. 
 
The police in its chargesheet says that the girl was kidnapped by the juvenile accused on January 10, and called his cousin and co-accused Vishal Jangotra to Kathua with an offer that he can rape the girl. Vishal reached Kathua the next day, says the chargesheet, and killed her on January 13. It also says that Vishal disposed of the body on January 15 and left for Meerut at 4pm. 
 
Zee News has accessed a CCTV footage which exposes the shoddy work done by the J&K Police and puts into perspective certain things. The CCTV footage, obtained from an ATM in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar on January 15, shows Vishal inside the ATM and withdrawing money. The footage was taken at 3.03pm. So if Vishal was present inside the ATM at 3pm, how can he be present in Kathua at around the same time? 
 
The bank statement accessed by Zee News also which shows that Rs 1000 were withdrawn from the SBI ATM. The account belongs to Vishal's sister Monica Sharma. There are other aspects of the chargesheet which point towards sloppy work done by the state police. For example, the chargesheet says that call detail records of the accused show they were together in Kathua. If this is indeed the case, these records should be produced before the court.  The entire country wants justice for the girl. Till the time that is achieved, Zee News will continue its quest.
