An article by BJP<\/a> MP Tarun Vijay in Panchjanya says the \u201cHindus are the only community in the world whose global population is declining\u201d. \u201cNot only are they being tortured for being Hindus, their civilian rights are also being curtailed,\u201d he argues. Bangladesh has nearly one crore Hindus, but not one Hindu cabinet minister. \u201cHindus are attacked and killed there everyday\u201d. In this context, the \u201cexodus of Hindus from Kairana has added a new tragedy\u201d. The article says there cannot be a \u201cbigger tragedy\u201d when \u201cHindus are forced to migrate due to politics of vote bank\u201d in a \u201cgovernment of the brothers of your own religion\u201d. Such migration is \u201ca challenge to the Constitution\u201d, yet some \u201csants\u201d approached the Uttar Pradesh governor and \u201cclaimed there was no migration of Hindus\u201d. The Hindus are the victims of memory loss and consider \u201croad, water and electricity as the development of civilisation\u201d. The Hindu \u201cdoes not remember that in Delhi alone they faced massacre on 18 occasions. He does not know the story of the repeated destruction of the Somnath Temple\u2026. He does not know that ISIS has always existed for the Hindus in different forms, which sometimes expels the Hindus from Kashmir<\/a>, and sometimes expels the Reang tribe from Mizoram,\u201d Vijay argues.<\/div>\n

A violent Ramzan<\/strong>The editorial in Organiser comments on the recent \u201cjihad\u201d attacks across the world and says \u201cthis was perhaps the bloodiest month of Ramzan we have seen in the recent past\u201d. \u201cFrom Saudi to Bangladesh the monster of terror in the name of Islamic State<\/a> is creating havoc,\u201d it says, and adds that these \u201cjihadis\u201d killed \u201ctheir own Muslim brethren\u201d. \u201cNot long ago, any act of violence in any part of world was associated with al Qaeda,\u201d it says, and underlines \u201cthe US intention in creating the Afghan militia\u201d. The editorial argues that, \u201cTo defeat the ideological foe during the Cold War, the US armed many groups to prevent the Soviet Union and its agents, client states, and satellites\u201d and it took the Taliban in Afghanistan and the catastrophic attack of 9\/11 for the US \u201cto realise the nature of monster they have created to win the ideological war\u201d.
\nThe Organiser writes that, \u201cThe Islamic State, which is a direct outcome of false understanding of good terror and bad terror, is spreading in and outside West Asia.\u201d It also notes that \u201cthe self-created threats faced by the Saudis are neglected to a large extent\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the eastern side of Bharat, another victim of intolerant version of Islam is facing the curious situation where the IS is claiming the responsibility for violence but Bangladeshi government is in denial mode,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n

Immigration imbroglio<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Organiser cover story on the immigrants in the US, says the country \u201cis presently witnessing a verbal spat over the place of immigrants in this country\u201d. While President Barack Obama and \u201ca slew of prominent people have endorsed the entry of immigrants,\u201d presidential-hopeful Donald Trump has attacked \u201cthe policies that welcomed the immigrants\u201d. \u201cMany feel that he would take some drastic decisions in this regard, if elected to the White House in November 2016,\u201d it says. \u201cAnother major point of controversy is the use of the term Islamic terrorism following the Orlando massacre,\u201d it says, and notes that \u201cTrump attacked President Obama for not using it initially\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY) last week published a three-page supplement \u2014 Great Immigrants, Pride of America \u2014 in The New York Times. It says the immigrants \u201chave made, and continue to make, our nation strong and vibrant\u201d. \u201cWe are committed to helping immigrants become integrated into the civic fabric of our nation because enlightened citizenship is the everlasting strength of our democracy,\u201d the supplement reads.<\/p>\n

It lists about 500 achievers, who migrated to the US between 2006 and 2016 and terms them the \u201cGreat Immigrants Honorees\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important feature of this list is that it has 31 Bharatiyas, who migrated to the US from Bharat, and two are of Bharatiya origin, who were born outside Bharat,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
