Is India's BJP Comparable to America's KKK?

Haq's Musings: Dr. Christine Fair Compares India's BJP With America's KKK

C. Christine Fair is an assistant professor in the Center for Peace and Security Studies (CPASS), within Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. She has only recently wised up to the opportunity to sell lots of books in India, the world's third largest and currently the fastest growing market for books written in the English language.


Before writing and promoting "Fighting to the End: The Pakistan Army's Way of War", a virulently anti-Pakistan book, Dr. Fair said this in 2009:

"Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you they are not issuing visas as the main activity! Moreover, India has run operations from its mission in Mazar (through which it supported the Northern Alliance) and is likely doing so from the other consulates it has reopened in Jalalabad and Qandahar along the border. Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan".

Fair spoke at the World Affairs Council in San Francisco on "Pakistan, the Taliban and Regional Security" March 4, 2015. Here are some interesting excerpts from her generally anti-Pakistan narrative at the event:

1. India's Hindu Nationalists (RSS, BJP) are like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the violent post-civil war white supremacist organization made up mainly of former southern confederate supporters, in the United States. The difference is that while KKK has very little popular support in America, the RSS's political wing BJP recently won general elections by a landslide, making Narendra Modi ("KKK wizard") the prime minister of India.

2. India's human rights record in Kashmir is appalling.

3. It's "flat out wrong" to say that "Indian Muslims do not participate in terrorism".

4. Pakistan can use Indian Mujahideen (IM) which includes India's deeply alienated Muslims to conduct covert actions in India with plausible deniability.

5. China has been talking with the Taliban since 1990s. Chinese can play a huge role to stabilize Afghanistan with investments and control Pakistan's behavior. (Later, she says US should encourage India to go big in Afghanistan).

6. India has been able to establish significant presence in Afghanistan under US security umbrella. India's intentions in Afghanistan are not benign. But she also says that US should encourage India to "go big" in Afghanistan to check Pakistan.

7. India has built the Iranian port of Chabahar to compete with Gwadar port in Pakistan. She says Chahbahar offers a better land route for trade with from Arabian Sea to Central Asia.

8. No one wants to pay Afghanistan's bills when US leaves. China can fill the gap. US and China can be partners for peace in Afghanistan.

9. Fair says she is a "personal fan" of India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Fair says "Pakistanis are afraid of him". Fair supports Modi's position of "India not engaging with Pakistan".

10. Current Indian government under Modi can aggressively "over-interpret" as exemplified by recent Indian claim of a "Pakistani terror boat" blown up by the Indian Coastguard.

11. Fair says she wants the US to work to "reduce Pakistan Army's influence"in governance but, in the next breath, she says "civilians are no better than the military".

Haq's Musings: Dr. Christine Fair Compares India's BJP With America's KKK

 

[RiazHaq]

NEW DELHI: Mr Jaswant Singh's fight with BJP got nastier on Wednesday, when he compared BJP to the Ku Klux Klan — violent hate groups in the United States that pledge to further interests of white Americans, and who hate Afro-Americans, Jews, minorities, Catholics and labour unions. Mr Singh said BJP has become a variant of the Klan.

Mr Singh, who was a 'suspect' in the eyes of RSS, said BJP should cut its umbilical cord with the Sangh. "It is for BJP to reflect on it. To gain their full personality as a political organisation, they have to stand on their own feet. Now they should be mature enough to cut the umbilical cord," he said.

BJP Indian variant of Ku Klux Klan: Jaswant - Economic Times

 

[ito]

Comparable? 1.2 billion people elected BJP, while KKK has no presence anywhere but in some minuscule neighborhoods

By the way @RiazHaq what do you think of this?

India's GDP will be bigger than Japan, Germany combined in 4 years: IMF - The Economic Times

"Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you they are not issuing visas as the main activity!

Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan".

Ok so here are the RAW agents telling our madam what they are upto......... Ok....

1. India's Hindu Nationalists (RSS, BJP) are like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the violent post-civil war white supremacist organization made up mainly of former southern confederate supporters, in the United States. The difference is that while KKK has very little popular support in America, the RSS's political wing BJP recently won general elections by a landslide, making Narendra Modi ("KKK wizard") the prime minister of India.

God knows how she came to such conclusion....... and what kind of data did she analyse the Indian election of 2014 to come out such a conclusion

2. India's human rights record in Kashmir is appalling.

Ok what this has to do with the point being discussed....... This was the case (accusation) for decades..... By the way I am yet to see a champion in human rights.....

3. It's "flat out wrong" to say that "Indian Muslims do not participate in terrorism".

No one said so.... Whats your point??? We agree we have our share of morons and fortunately authorities have taken it very seriously and working on it.....For example IM, SIMI, ISS, NDF

4. Pakistan can use Indian Mujahideen (IM) which includes India's deeply alienated Muslims to conduct covert actions in India with plausible deniability.

They have been using them...... one of the bhatkal is behind the bars, may be soon we can find his brother too....... as I pointed out, authorities are taking the internal threat seriously.....

5. China has been talking with the Taliban since 1990s. Chinese can play a huge role to stabilize Afghanistan with investments and control Pakistan's behavior. (Later, she says US should encourage India to go big in Afghanistan).

Yes Chinese can do that....

6. India has been able to establish significant presence in Afghanistan under US security umbrella. India's intentions in Afghanistan are not benign. But she also says that US should encourage India to "go big" in Afghanistan to check Pakistan.

We are not saints either.....

7. India has built the Iranian port of Chabahar to compete with Gwadar port in Pakistan. She says Chahbahar offers a better land route for trade with from Arabian Sea to Central Asia.

Better i doubt.... Alternate route???? Yes!!!!

8. No one wants to pay Afghanistan's bills when US leaves. China can fill the gap. US and China can be partners for peace in Afghanistan.

True.... Every one knows how afghan battles are fought and out comes of it..... Yes China can be a partner in peace but i doubt there is going to be any partnership with US in this.....

9. Fair says she is a "personal fan" of India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Fair says "Pakistanis are afraid of him". Fair supports Modi's position of "India not engaging with Pakistan".

Nothing wrong in being fan of Indian NSA.... But stating Pakistani's are afraid of him sounds stupid....... and she can keep supporting Modi for not engaging with Pakistan, but India is going to engage with pakistan as we are neighbors....

10. Current Indian government under Modi can aggressively "over-interpret" as exemplified by recent Indian claim of a "Pakistani terror boat" blown up by the Indian Coastguard.

Over Interpret????? Now this is a relative term ..... "Pakistani Terror Boat" taken as an example.....But was it over interpretion or rightly interpretation, how can one judge???? They have not released the exact info's and there are goof ups for sure.... But the only agency who can to tell you what exactly happened is ICG.....

11. Fair says she wants the US to work to "reduce Pakistan Army's influence"in governance but, in the next breath, she says "civilians are no better than the military".

That is for Pakistan's population to decide.... No comments

Bjp is the cause of kkk. Kkk took inspiration from savarkar to kill blacks. The burning of blacks is same as Hindu rites. Happy.

As usual @RiazHaq is cheery picking what she is saying. Just watch the video.

 

[Ragnar]

It is generally good for a right wing government to come in occasionally. Helps to clear up the sludge in the system. And the video is admittedly mostly anti-Pakistan. About Kashmir, she said that Pakistan has no ground to stand on in Kashmir as regards plebiscite, and that even morally Pakistan is no ground to stand on despite India's human rights abuses. Pakistan has caused nothing but problems for Kashmiris by supporting terrorism.Plus its own governance record in so called Azad Kashmir is appalling.

KKK is bad, but throughout the history of KKK, the killing of blacks is not close to the Gujarat masacre of Muslims in 2002.

 

[ArsalanKhan21]

The Pakistan Army and ISI support for Talibans have brought nothing but misery for Pakistan. Now the Indian consulates in Iran and Afghanistan consulates is sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan while the Saudi are sponsoring Sunni terrorism. The deaths of more than million Afghans and US occupation of Afghanistan is the consequence of the harebrained policies.Stupid actions have deadly consequences.

 

[jaatram]

BJP makes KKK look like Adarsh Liberal. You people outside don't know half of it on the news. Ever since BJP came they cracked down on Free Media unbiased reporting. They don't let even 1/10th of the incidents thats happening in India. BJP is filling pot holes in the roads with Muslims and Christians body parts. On holi Isome hindu kids were spotted playing holi with minority blood. India is doomed and then some.

 

[Srinivas]

BJP is more like Republican party !

 

[RiazHaq]

Comparable? 1.2 billion people elected BJP, while KKK has no presence anywhere but in some minuscule neighborhoods

By the way @RiazHaq what do you think of this?

India's GDP will be bigger than Japan, Germany combined in 4 years: IMF - The Economic Times

One third of the world’s 1.2 billion poorest people live in India, according to the latest Millennium Development Goals report by the U.N.

India only managed to reduce its poverty rate (the ratio of the number of people who fall below the poverty line and a country’s total population) from 49.4% in 1994 to 42% in 2005 and 32.7% in 2010. By contrast, regional rival China brought it down from 60% in 1990 to an impressive 16% in 2005 and just 12% in 2010.

India also accounted for the highest number of under-five deaths in the world in 2012, with 1.4 million children not reaching their fifth birthday.

“We don’t have to be proud of what we’ve done,” admitted minority affairs minister Najma Heptulla to the Times Of India on Wednesday. “Poverty is the biggest challenge"

Most of the World's Poorest People Live in India

By the way @RiazHaq what do you think of this?

India's GDP will be bigger than Japan, Germany combined in 4 years: IMF - The Economic Times

A billion people were lifted from abject poverty between 1980 and 2010. China accounts for nearly three quarters of these, or 680 million people brought out of misery, by reducing its extreme-poverty rate from 84% in 1980 to 10% now, according to a report in The Economist. The report adds that with "poorer governance in India and Africa, the next two targets, means that China’s experience is unlikely to be swiftly replicated there".



Source: Where Are the Poor and Where Are the Poorest?

As China's share of the world's extreme poor (living below $1.25 per day per person level) has dramatically declined, India's share has significantly increased. India now contributes 33% (up from 22 % in 1981). While the extreme poor in Sub-Saharan Africa represented only 11 percent of the world’s total in 1981, they now account for 34% of the world’s extreme poor, and China comes next contributing 13 percent (down from 43 percent in 1981), according to the World Bank report titled State of the Poor.
