Hindus
gearing up to prevent Islamic onslaught
When
this report is being written, Hindus of village: Malancha, P.S. Diamond Harbor,
District: 24 Paraganas (South) are busy in patrolling their village along with
neighborhood from a likely Islamic onslaught that can befall at any moment. Have
Hindus committed any crime enough to provoke Islamists to attack them? Well, there
is no such; Hindus dared to protest against and also prevent Muslim radicals
from hooking electricity in their village. The Muslim youths do belong to
Purkutpara of neighboring Muslim-dominated village of Kamalpur and it is a daily
job for them to hook electricity from Hindu residences in village: Malancha.
Hooking
electricity from Hindu-dominated villages by Islamists in 24 Paraganas (South)
has become a daily affair by now, indulgence of local police and administration
with ferocity of Muslim radicals happen to be the mainstay of this job,
extending its tentacles all over the district. Connection of electricity to
Hindu-dominated village: Malancha took place 4 months ago (from now) and as a
result, it became an eyesore to neighboring Muslims almost instantly. Even if
Hindus objected to this theft of electricity repeatedly, there was no end to
this.
But
the scenario changed on May 17, 2013 when lots of electric wires were disconnected
by Hindus intentionally. A sudden thunderstorm in the evening tore lots of
electric wires from nearby lampposts; owing to this 4 Hindus were almost electrocuted.
To stave off any such incident again, Hindus in Malancha decided to disconnect
the connection irking Muslims much. They came in large numbers and demanded
explanations from Hindus leading to an intense scuffle between two religious groups.
Odud Gazi, Head of Netra Panchayat, sided for Muslims naturally and was found
to advise Hindus to help their Muslim neighbors at any time.
Nevertheless,
the courage of Hindus astonished Muslims a great deal. Soon a division took
place between them. While one group was found to opt for peaceful solutions with
Hindus, the other denied to cooperate with Hindus ever. But such a difference
helped to retain a communal harmony in any way.
On
May 20, 2013, at 7.30 pm, Muslim ruffians attacked Hindus (with lethal weapons)
for hooking all of a sudden. But Hindus didn’t react. They, instead, phoned
local leaders of Trinamool Congress like Jayanta Ghosh, Aman Sanpui, Razzaq
Sheikh and made them conscious of the fast deteriorating situation there. But other
than Jayanta none did response. Jayanta Ghosh assured Hindus that a large
police contingent would visit the spot soon but to no avail. No police team has
reached there yet.
Hindus
fear that Islamists will attack more brutally soon and to save themselves from possible
danger, Hindus have decided to guard the entire village.
None
knows what will happen tomorrow.
