Sadhvi Pragya Singh, the prime accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts, might not be the “Goose” which lays the golden eggs for secular media. After all, the “Hindu” tag makes one unworthy of eliciting conscious attention. Her sympathetic approach towards the causes related with Hindus have made her untouchable not only for the major political parties but also for the mainstream media obsessed with issues related with the minorities.
The article is not focused on elements associated with her involvement in Malegaon blast since they are sub judice but it’s a take on inhuman treatment meted out to her in name of having confession. It’s disgusting that barbaric methods used upon her went unnoticed. The mainstream media was highly conscious in pursuing the aspects related with Afzal, Kasab and many others in the same category, ensuring that their human rights do not get violated. It clamoured for their fair and just trial. However, the same zeal and enthusiasm was strikingly absent while dealing with issues pertaining to Sadhvi Pragya. On the contrary, the mainstream media was busy targeting the ghost of Hindu terrorism-the by-product of pervert secular minds.
Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer’s landmark judgement in Sunil Batra Vs Delhi Administration,1978, sets the basic principles pertaining to rights of prisoners quite emphatically: “No prisoner can be personally subjected to deprivation not necessitated by the fact of incarceration and the sentence of the court. All other freedoms belong to him to read and write, to exercise and recreation, to meditation and chant, to comforts like protection from extreme cold and heat, to freedom from indignities such as compulsory nudity, forced sodomy and other such unbearable vulgarity, to movement within the prison campus subject to requirements of discipline and security, to the minimal joys of self-expression, to acquire skills and techniques. A corollary of this ruling is the Right to Basic Minimum Needs necessary for the healthy maintenance of the body and development of the human mind. This umbrella of rights would include: Right to proper Accommodation, Hygienic living conditions, Wholesome diet, Clothing, Bedding, timely Medical Services, Rehabilitative and Treatment programmes.”
In fact, Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer strongly asserted that “Convicts are not by mere reason of the conviction denuded of all the fundamental rights which they otherwise possess.” His sentiments are on par with principles established by many International bodies working for the restoration of human rights. “No one shall be subject to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of punishment” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948). The United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights also echoes the same feelings: “All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person” (UNICCPR, 1966).
It’s learnt that Sadhvi Pragya Singh was subjected to worst kind of animal treatment inside the boundaries of prison. She was shown porn movies, forced to consume non-vegetarian diet, and also mercilessly beaten naked. The severity of the inhuman treatment reached its crescendo just because she represented a Hindu organisation! Can you imagine this sort of treatment to any top leader representing minorities? One prominent leader belonging to minority community, known for his penchant for issuing bogus fatwas, has many criminal cases pending against him but he is roaming scot-free. Can our criminal justice system dare to deal with such absconders the same way? In fact, even the Hindu organizations are guilty of misfortune which has become fate of Sadhvi Pragya. If the Hindu organizations are so interested in restoring the dignity and self-respect of Hindu community, then they should have a proper mechanism to save their workers/ volunteers from the onslaught of negative forces. However, that’s not the reality. These Hindu bodies like any other bodies are involved in petty politics. Or else, they would have left no stone unturned in highlighting the violation of International norms in case of Sadhvi Pragya.
Not many know that Sadhvi Pragya has been diagnosed with cancer (grade 3) and requires serious medication. Just few days back her condition deteriorated and she suffered partial paralysis to the left side of her body. Well, her fate now rests on the will of Lord. However, the treatment meted out to her exposed the flaws of criminal justice system functioning in India. The brutal treatment inflicted upon her does not surprise those who are aware that how our system operates, wherein a 10-year-old girl was put behind bars by women cops when she went to Police Station, along with her mother, to register a complaint against a local goon for allegedly raping her. The rights of the complainants or rights of the prisoners exist only on paper. This nation does not recognize the rights of an individual in practical terms. Anyway, Sahdhvi Pragya’s case also brought in open the real elements gone into the making of organisations representing the cause of Hindu. They are involved more in dirty politics than working for the cause of Hindus in determined way. Let’s learn to honour the dignity of people of substance to make this great nation move ahead with right set of values.

The Hindu electorates need to understand that in present state of affairs a lethargic attitude while dealing with the forces which are hell bent to curtail the growth of Hindus would prove disastrous for the future generations.. The Hindus of this nation need to be pretty conscious now…

Although I have carved a niche for myself in world of writing, I am pretty devoid of resources to effectively spearhead the movement aimed at highlighting the atrocities committed upon Hindus. Yet- thanks to Lord’s grace that despite facing constraints of resources-I came to effectively fight many battles pertaining to cause of Hindus. That I need to highlight to know from people who are representing premier Hindu organisations, having all the resources, as to why they remained silent in Sadhvi’s case? I know well that top Hindu leaders were very much aware of the plight of Sadhviji.

Thanks for your encouraging words..Internet is a boon for all thinking people. Hindus need to use it well to create awakening of sorts…At least, there has to be a beginning. Remember that big goals can be achieved by series of small steps. However, the inertness displayed by Hindus is amazing…So let’s first get rid of Kumbhakarni vritti in us!!! Let’s not sleep like Kumbhakarna..

Wows. That’s superb. Yes I am agreeing. If knowledge is spread through net of atrocities in Hindus they MAY wake up. Still eg there is no noise about destruction and loot and rapes of Hindus in Bangladesh. We know media is in pay of Arab counties but why no where else is there any halla?
******************
Anish Chaudhry, London, United Kingdom, said:
Neal, I have my doubts the Indian media is under pay of arabs but its more out of fear and weirdo secularism they don’t do full reports on atrocities against Hindus even though now they are in small reports but its more about fear.These millions of Hindus cant even go and cause the same fear.When they do protests then its a small peace protest which no one takes serious but get laughed at and this is in country of 800 million Hindus.

That’s quite correct…Above all, it also shows the real character of some of the main Hindu parties..
चुपचाप अधर्म और अत्याचार होते देखना भी अधर्म और अत्याचार करने सामान ही है ! आज सामाजिक पर्यावरण ही ऐसा बन गया है कि ऐसा चित्रित किया जाने लगा है , हिन्दुओं पर हो रहे नृशंश अत्याचार एक अपवाद मात्र हैं और इनका विरोध करने वाले सांप्रदायिक ! यह बडे ही दुःख एवं लज्जा का विषय है कि एक साध्वी के साथ इतना पीड़ाजनक एवं अपमानजनक व्यवहार कर उन्हे मृतप्राय अवस्था में पहुंचा दिया गया है और हमारा समाज चुप्पी साधे बैठा है !
और इससें लज्जाजनक बात क्या हो सकती है कि अंतराष्ट्रीय नियमो/संधियों का घोर उल्लंघन हुआ इसके बाद भी किसी ने सुध ना ली।कल्पना करिए ऐसा ही किसी क्रिस्चियन मिशनरी के साथ हुआ होता या किसी मुस्लिम धर्म गुरु के साथ हुआ होता। अब तक जो सो तबाही मचती सो मचती तमाम विदेशी ताकते आपको ह्यूमन राइट्स का लेक्चर दे चुकी होती। लेकिन जब हिन्दुओ के साथ होता है। सब सन्न मार के बैठ जाते है। कश्मीरी पंडितो को आपने मार के भगा दिया।। किसी ने सुध ली? लेकिन बांग्लादेशी सब सुविधाएं लेकर मौज कर रहे है।

Arvind, lets face it most of these hindu organisations are basically useless and fear what secularists will say if they took up the cause of the Sadhvi ,And worse ive heard some of them say its a congress conspiracy that the sadhvi and colonel purohit were congress agents set up to malign hindu organisations lol .If they were that good as hindu organisations then by now Hindus would be in control of India.One just has to look at most hindus on facebook itself to see that they are more into spreading conspiracy theories then coming out with anything that’s practical and workable to bring hindu society together then to activate them into action.
Once for an experiment i put 2 questions on my facebook status.One question was in relation to Sonia Gandhi and the other on Hinduism They all came on answering the sonia gandhi one but no one answered the question on hinduism because the fact is they dont know even the abc of hinduism but can do a PHD on sonia gandhi and congress hehe ..Apart from a few exceptions that’s most of the hindu movement for you….

“If you can’t convince them, confuse them.” – Harry S. Truman…People who are involved in politics would always come up with stupid conspiracy theories….BJP has failed to emerge as a better alternative to Congress despite having some of the best minds..There is certainly some nexus between Congress and BJP… And that’s why you would find BJP lacking a proper methodology while dealing with critical issues even as it gives the impression that it’s taking genuine steps..
Yes, not many are aware of the ABC of Hinduism-one of the reasons why it’s hard for Hindus to understand the true implications of maintaining silence when one should have been engaged in ferocious protest!!!
नक्सलवादिओं, आतंकवादिओं, अलगाववादिओं, देशद्रोहिओं, सामूहिक हत्या और सामूहिक बलात्कार जैसे जघन्य अपराधों को करने वालों के लिए मानवाधिकारों की वकालत करने मानवधिकारी संगठन, उनके नेता और कार्यकर्ता कहाँ है ? उन्हें साध्वी प्रज्ञा सिंह पर केंद्र सरकार के आदेश पर किये जा रहे अमानवीय अत्याचार, क्या अमानवीय नहीं लगते ? साध्वी प्रज्ञा सिंह के मामले में ये मानवधिकारी संगठन चुप क्यों हैं ? क्या मानवाधिकार केवल नक्सलवादिओं, आतंकवादिओं, अलगाववादिओं, देशद्रोहिओं, सामूहिक हत्या और सामूहिक बलात्कार जैसे जघन्य अपराधों को करने वालों के लिए ही हैं ? देश की जनता का यह सब देखकर खून क्यों नहीं खोलता ? कब तक समाज यह सब मूकदर्शक की तरह देखता रहेगा ?

सबसे बड़ी बात ये है कि माना वे एक हिन्दू नेता है और लिहाज़ा इस नजरिये से वे अछूत हो जाती है। ये भी स्वीकार करने में कोई हर्ज़ नहीं कि जुर्म की गम्भीरता को देखते हुए साधारण संस्थाएं न्यायिक प्रक्रिया के बीच आने से रही और आना भी नहीं चाहिए न्याय व्यस्था के बीच। लेकिन यहाँ बात ये नहीं हो रही है। यहाँ तो किसी के अधिकारों का अतिक्रमण हो रहा है वो भी उन अधिकारों को जो अंतराष्ट्रीय मूल्यों पे टिके हुए है। ये मामला राइट्स ऑफ़ प्रिस्नर्स का भी है। ह्यूमन राइट्स का भी है। तो क्या ह्यूमन राइट्स संस्थाओ की ख़ामोशी क्रिमिनल नहीं है? क्या खुद जेल के अधिकारी दोषी नहीं है? क्या महिला संघटन दोषी नहीं है कि एक महिला पे अत्यचार हुआ और वे खामोश रही? जाहिर सी बात है ये समझ में आ रहा है कि ये संस्थाएं किस तरह से काम करती है। बिलकुल बिकी हुई संस्थाएं है ये। हिन्दू संघटन और सिर्फ नाम की ही भारतीय मीडिया दोषी तो खैर है ही।
