Pakistan Hindus facing vicious persecution from Muslims

"We are businessmen but have been compelled to leave our motherland because of harassment, lawlessness, looting, kidnapping of girls and their forced conversion to Islam." Compare this to the rights that Muslims enjoy in India. "Pakistani Hindus arrive with horror tales," from PTI, August 10 (thanks to Ajay):

In the backdrop of a 14-year-old Hindu girl’s abduction in Pakistan’s Jacobabad city in Sindh province three days ago, a controversy erupted when a delegation of 150 Hindus was detained by Islamabad for seven hours on Friday before being allowed to enter India for a pilgrimage. Head of the delegation Anup Kumar said they were supposed to cross over to India in the afternoon, but their arrival was delayed because the Pakistani authorities were apprehensive that they may not return due to the law and order problems in the southern province of Sindh, where most of Pakistan’s estimated seven million Hindus live.

Why would they want to return?

Before leaving Pakistan, members of the delegation had to give an undertaking to the authorities that they would not seek asylum from the Indian government and would under all circumstances return to Pakistan within 30 days, Kumar said.

He said Hindu families were not safe in Pakistan and kidnapping of young Hindu girls and brides at gunpoint by fundamentalists had become a routine affair. “There is no law and order in Sindh and the government is watching the activities of fundamentalists as a mute spectator.”

Kumar said the recent abduction of the teenager in Jacobabad had sparked fear among the minority community, which was now planning an exodus.

He said it was possible that the majority of the delegation members would never like to go back to Pakistan in the prevailing circumstances. He said Hindu girls were being forced to convert to Islam after being abducted.

In Islamabad, President Asif Ali Zardari took serious note of reports of a "sense of insecurity" among Hindu families in Sindh and directed the authorities to allay the minority community’s grievances.

Media reports from Jacobabad said seven Hindu families comprising 90 people had decided to move to India for good. “We are businessmen but have been compelled to leave our motherland because of harassment, lawlessness, looting, kidnapping of girls and their forced conversion to Islam," said Amesh Kumar of Bakhshapur area in Jacobabad.

An unnamed Hindu man from Quetta told the Dawn newspaper: “Pakistan is our homeland and at the moment we are going to India for visiting our sacred places. But if I find the situation in India better than in Pakistan, I will prefer to settle there and others also think the same way.”...

Why are the Pakistani muslims worried that the hindus might not return? Could it be that the muslims depend on the hindus to keep their economy afloat? (Or from getting worse anyway.) I suspect it's one more instance of islamic dependence/parasitism on everyone else.

This story, sadly, should surprise no one.

islam, since it was a gleam in the crazed, mass murderer's eyes of mohammad, has always been at war with infidels.

... doesn't matter a twit how nice the (fill in the blank) infidels treat muslims in their own country. If you are a law abiding muslim in Israel, for example, you have no problems. But, as a supposedly law abiding muslim in Israel, you conveniently forget to tell Israeli authorities that Uncle Abdul, and about 20 of his friends are tunneling into Israel next week to blow up an Israeli restaurant, with all of its occupants, who is going to run down that information BEFORE the attack?

Arguably one of the greatest mass crimes in history has been the treatment of Hindus by Muslims over the centuries. In fact, it would be much harder to argue against this contention than for it.

Another black mark on Islam. God, there are so many.

Preventing them from leaving Pakistan is in and of itself a violation of international human rights standards. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides (13(2)):


Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

Where are the human rights organizations and the UN?

Masayminch (“We’re not fasting” in the local Arabic dialect) was founded last month by Moroccan youths seeking to defend individual liberties, starting with the right of non-believers to eat, drink or smoke in public during the Muslim holy month.

Pakistani Hindus?

Are they still in Pakistan?

What is it about Islam and Hinduism they don't understand, after having lived under the whip for the last 60 years or so.


From the article:" Before leaving Pakistan, members of the delegation had to give an undertaking to the authorities that they would not seek asylum from the Indian government and would under all circumstances return to Pakistan within 30 days, Kumar said."

Muslims don't like losing their chew toys/ scapegoats/ punching bags/ source of sex toys and sacrificial victims. It's exactly like a domestic abuser who tells his wife that she better not try to leave, *or else*.

Want to bet that sometime soon Muslim Pakistan will start refusing to let HIndu - or Christian - girls and women leave Pakistan?


The Indian government should say quietly to the Hindu refugees/ escapees from Pakistan: 'we know those b*st*rds in Pakistan forced you to agree not to *seek* asylum in India, but that doesn't mean you can't say Yes if *we* ask *you* if you'd like to stay here and not go back into the Predator Pits".

Thought for the day: Population Exchange. All Mohammedans to be evicted from Indian Kashmir; Pakistani Hindus and Christians - and the few remaining Sikhs and Buddhists - take their places.

"We are businessmen but have been compelled to leave our motherland because of harassment, lawlessness, looting, kidnapping of girls and their forced conversion to Islam."

Isn't that the model established by Mo/allah in seveth century Arabia that Muslims all over the world follow so faithfully and proudly!!One wonders about their being humans??

war with Islam would be better

"Muslims don't like losing their chew toys..."
Good explanation. I couldn't quite get why they were complaining about the Hindus leaving. It's a bit like the ancient Egyptians' reluctance to let the Hebrews go.

It's all headed our way. Thanks to libtards who still think multi-kuturalism is still a fine idea.

If this place in Paki is mostly Hindu, maybe India's army should waltz over there and take some ground. They both have nukes - time to get it on.

Muslims have always despised the Hindus,they really vandalized India,read:

Islam has used this vile technique since its earliest days—they aren't going to stop now.

They are asking for a declaration from the hindus that they will return. The reason could also be that they intend to take over and auction the Hindu's properties if they fail to return. This way the Muslims can have their cake and eat it too. As usual and as everywhere else.

RS" Why would they want to return?"

DP11 "Pakistani Hindus?

Are they still in Pakistan? "

Perhaps, because the Hindus of pakistan are the original inhabitants of these lands, whose ancestry goes back, not decades or centuries but a millennia. It is the muslims who are the invaders and occupiers. It is the muslims who have no ties to India and consider it only as conquered territories. For the Hindus, This is their homeland; this is the only home they know. Just as for Jews they have ancestral ties with Israel.

I know that in the mobile society of the west, ancestral homes and lands are not that important, but for many Indians and Hindus all their identities are with their homeland, the land of them and their ancestors.

As for why the porkies want them back? Obviously it is bad publicity for them and also they need the religious minorities like the Hindus and Christians to do all the work that the noble muslims don’t want to do.

"Where are the human rights organizations and the UN?"

Pakistan is a member of the OIC, and as far as I know, no member of the OIC has signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Instead they have signed the Cairo declaration, which accepts the UDHR EXCEPT when it is in conflict with Sharia. In other words, non-believers in Moslem countries have all the rights guaranteed them by Sharia, not by the UDHR -- which is to say, virtually no rights at all.
Why the OIC countries are allowed to be members of the UN, given their refusal to sign its basic documents, is a question that needs to be asked. And answered.

They are asking for a declaration from the hindus that they will return. The reason could also be that they intend to quickly take over and auction the Hindu properties to Muslims if they fail to return. This way the Muslims can have their cake and eat it too, as usual and as everywhere else.

Without really being sarcastic, preventing Muslims from kidnapping, raping and forcefully converting young girls to Islam, would be denying Muslims their basic religious rights. Muslim societies and forced conversions or rape of underage girls (especially non muslim girls) are closely tied.

You may find the UN taking the Pakistani Hindus and Christians to task for not facilitating, the rape and conversion of underage girls by Muslims, in stead of the other way around.

By the way, in recent weeks, there have been reports of forced conversions from Gaza, Egypt and Pakistan (as far as I know).


RE: "Why are the Pakistani muslims worried that the hindus might not return?"

The Hindus that remained in pakistan escaped eviction in 1947 partition of India simply because the founder of that country - Jinnah, wanted it so in order to keep a facade of secular tolerance. This has been too much for the mullahs to tolerate lately and hence religiously sanctioned atrocities on these Hindus with political wink. This includes kidnap, rape, murder, torture, bombing of temples, slaughtering animals in Hindu temples given that most Hindus do not kill or eat animals.

Now, if these Hindus flee, pakistan will be condemned by the world (as if they care). So Pakistan is now forcing them to remain in the country.

And US has always be a staunch ally of this murderous country and very frequently in direct opposition to and to the disadvantage of a secular India where people of all religions including muslims and Christians are safe. US even helped pakistan get its 'islamic' nuclear bomb.

Shame on USA.

An unnamed Hindu man from Quetta:

unnamed - Tells you all you need to know about these people; Anybody could have fabricated that line.

I tell ya - I am sick of this type of hype. A balanced society needs all types of people in it - little and the not so little.

As long as the understanding is there - what's the problem.

Ladies and gentlemen

observe the sly, horrible, sneering, Hindu-hating Mohammedan.

It just can't bear the thought that those whom it regards as its rightful allah-appointed slaves - as a combination of chew-toy/ sex-troy/ punching bag/ scapegoat/ milch cow/ and thing to kill when 'allah' gets hungry for human blood - might **get away**.

All the non-Muslims in Pakistan would be better off if they left and went to India.

And India would be far, far better off today if every last Mohammedan had been evicted from India in 1947. *Every single one*.

As long as the understanding is there - what's the problem.

What understanding is that?

One thing we must understand:This is Arab Islam,not Islam. So now question arises-what is Islam or Real Islam?
The pre-Arab great ancient tradition of non-arab Islam of non-Arab Asia, is the Real Islam.It is not Koranic but Vedic and its language is Sanskrit, not Arabic.(Sanskrit-the old classical language of the East).
We have to view and analyse Arab Islam in its frame or canvas which is the Desert.Beyond it, Arab Islam is sheer Imperialism.
Arab Islam spread over large parts of the globe because of the politico/military factor. But Hindu India challenged it and did not surrender.In spite of total military/political collapse and so many years of brutal tyrannical rule, Hindu India could not be destroyed. They tried their best to uproot and destroy Hindu India but failed.This is the greatest wonder of India.Otherwise India would have also become 100% Islamized like Iran/Egypt or Syria.
Real Islam is not Arab Islam. Real Islam is India's old religious tradition which I love to call as the Hindu Islam and AfPak area (today's theatre of war against terror)is its place of birth.Just dig up there, and you will find the old stream flowing beneath the surface of the Mother Earth.
Pakistan which is India in fact, is the net-result or product of Medieval anti-Indian Arab/Muslim Imperialism.The Indian province of Punjab remained under Muslim domination for quite long.Large number of people became Muslim there.So it became Pakistan. Same thing happened in the eastern part of India- in Bengal also.So one Pakistan had come into being there also. But that has ended now. They have renounced the word Pakistan also and returned to the original name of Bangladesh.Pakistan should follow them if it wants to come out of the hole in which it has fallen.
We should not get lost into wilderness-we must differentiate between Islam and Arab Islam.The Arab claim that their Islam is the ONLY TRUE ISLAM cannot be accepted.But then everybody does this for his own sake.Arab Islam is "for the Arab,by the Arab,of the Arab".
The old ancient religious tradition of Hindu India is the Real Dharmic tradition (the Hindu Islam) which predates all
other traditions.It may be called the non-Arab tradition of non-Arab Asia (ie Hindu Asia).If somebody ha sobjection for the Hindu word, he can call it non-Arab Islam also. The non-Arab factor is the crucial one.

I don't think I've ever responded to you before, but as someone who has dealt with refugees--including Muslim Hui and Uyghur from Communist China and Cham from Communist Viet Nam--I think I can reply to you.

Maybe the man's unwillingness to give his name is a sign that he fears for the lives and/or safety of himself and any of his family who may not have gone with him to India. The Pakistani state (and society as well) can be very, very vindictive.

Muslims are always crying "victim"; but how many of the attacks Muslims have suffered are, in fact, people fighting back against Islamic aggression? I always hear people weeping rivers of tears over the lost glories of Andaluz, but it was not the relatively tolerant Ummayads who were beaten back by that line of Spanish fighters from Rodrigo de Vivar (El Cid) down to Los Reyes Catolicos, but the heirs of the bigoted Almohads and Almoravids, who were known to force conversions on their unwilling Dhimmi (some believe that Maimonides' family were forced converts to Islam while still in Spain). Much of the anger at Muslims in Europe today stems from the actions of people like Bouyeri, who murdered Theo van Gogh, the rapist gangs of Malmo, and the gangs in England who groom underage girls for sexual predation.

Look at Turkey. They talk much of "the tolerant Ottomans", but there are plenty of Americans of Anatolian Greek, Armenian, Syriac, and Sefardi Jewish heritage who might have a different story to tell. The records of diplomats from the period before the terminal decline of that empire also show a very unpleasant picture of how the Dhimmi were treated. Worst of all, the Turks have never owned up to the horrors that happened to their minorities in the late 19th century and WWI; and one of their scholars tries to do so, he gets labeled an "enemy of Turkishness".

And, I understand that one of the unsung "crimes" of the Israelis that seldom gets written down in English but does get written down in Arabic is that they have equestrian Jewish policemen (something found in the capital cities of almost every country on earth) in Jerusalem, who thereby put their heads higher than those of Muslims. Further, I understand that one of the "crimes" of the late Shah of Iran was that some of the judges he appointed might actually find for a Sunnite, Christian, Jew, Zoroastrian, or Bahai in a civil suit against an Ithna'ashariyya Shi'ite. This kind of attitude strikes a lot of us as that of someone who is not only a bully, but someone who believes that bullying others is his divine right.

I'll also raise the issue of who it is who urges young kids to blow themselves up, hopefully taking a few "thems" with them. It seems to me that the goons who dangle visions of paradise and plenary indulgence for past sins to suicide/homicide bombers keep themselves safely behind the front lines while they urge others to send themselves straight to Hell.

In contrast, back when the Popes promised plenary indulgence for sins and a sure ticket to Paradise to anyone who chopped up unbelievers, a Christian cleric and scholar named William Tyndale wrote a book _The Obedience of a Christian Man_ to refute that point of view and translated all of the New Testament and most of the Old into English to prove his point to ordinary Christians.

Then again, you accuse that Old Black book that condemns our sins and lusts as "corrupted", and promulgate a newer, painted up tart of a book that indulges at least the sins of Muslim males as an improvement.

And who is it who boasted, "Only Muslims are so brave as to sacrifice their lives to bring down the great oppressor", yet who cowered in caves and safe houses, whining that "It was Bush and the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ who did it!" the minute someone strikes back? Don't you, somewhere in your heart of hearts, think that such a person or people
deserves everyone's loathing and contempt?

Maybe, a lot of the "Islamophobia" would disappear if you guys would start behaving yourselves. You say that Jesus is a prophet, so heed him when he tells you to take the log out of your own eye before you try to take the speck out of your brother's or neighbor's (Matthew 7:3-5).

You're right, but it's more than that. Muslims need dhimmis to work for them. The dhimmi status was once reserved for Jews and Christians whom they called the "people of the book". But when they discovered that there are so many Hindus in India they expanded that status to Hindus as well. No need to convert for them but stay as work slaves.

Muslims don't fancy working they prefer presenting their behinds to their moon idol five times a day. That's enough exercise.

Dear readers.....

....and, LO!....who's the first to shriek racism. prejudice, profiling, apply "lawfare" demand "rights" and accommodations......here in Northern Virginia-istan, Dearborn istan and Murfreesboro, Tennessee...

Keep this in mind when you're feeling ecumenical and "fair".

RE: "Thought for the day: Population Exchange. All Mohammedans to be evicted from Indian Kashmir; Pakistani Hindus and Christians - and the few remaining Sikhs and Buddhists - take their places."

I would rather all mo's evicted from secular India which they constantly try to undermine in exchange for all non-muslims of the pakistan. Pakistan will be totally 'pure' then. I am sure they will proceed to determine who is more muslim among them and go after the 'less' muslim ones.

Is this Islamophobis?

Is excising cancer from a body cancerphobia?

So, Mulakush, you expect us Americans to be all things to all peoples everywhere?...at all times?....under all conceivable circumstances?..what more can you, in true conscience, ask of us Americans who've bled and died in far, far, too many unspeakable places in unspeakable conditions...to give our aid and financial assistance.....only to have these same recipients turn on us and spit on our generosity?

Frankly, your ilk are disgusting.

Why do so many Americans, now, since 1917, say, sarcastically, "You're welcome, World."

Think about that..... the next time you and your ilk are holding some American's coat while he's fighting for your "cause"....think.

......Mulakush, here, is also forgetting the era when India was a Soviet protectorate and Soviet sympathizer during the Cold War. We Americans are expected to provide India "comfort" during such fraught times? Since when?.....realizing here that such expectations are not a novel or unprecedented "affaire"....this American has had a decade's experience in East/Southeast Asia, way back during the 1960's....and recognizes when idealism is totally out of place, as in Central/West Asia all during this present nasty, knives-in-our-backs situation. We Americans have been too early, in some instances, in responding to perceived unjustness..."unjustness", of course has many, many definitions.....doesn't it?

Do not lecture us Americans, Mr Mulakush, or pass judgement on United states policies domestic or foreign.....until you become a United States taxpayer.

This American would remind as many as who care to read this that the World does not have an inherent "right" to tap into the United States Treasury during any period of perceived great need, and then after pocketing USAID with unseemly haste, find that faux relationship with the United States politically incorrect domestically when the winds change.

Again, do not lecture us Americans, Mr Mulakush, or pass judgement.

I am sorry but to all mustlims..

Hey if you so hate all the infidels
If you so hate all christians, hindus, jews, and whatever

Why dont you just let all non muslims LEAVE?

then all you muslims can sit in your caves
with your diaper around you head..
Chanting and blowing yourselves up as much as you want?

I mean hey
You hate technology (ok fine) we seperate
You hate Jesus, christians (ok fine) we seperate
You hate Jews and Israel (ok fine) we seperate
You hate freedom and the USAQ (ok fine) we seperate

As far as i am concerned if all muslims wish to follow their perverted leader mohammed to hell (go ahead).
I wont miss you..
We will repent of our sins and clean up our country..
While you all can sit in your caves filthy and dirty
holding your vile koran and chanting with your women all covered in a burka..

Go ahead we dont care..
I think we should kick out all muslims period
Not allow one entry into the usa..
And then just let you all rot in your caves..

Muslims are not worth one americans life.
The only reason we are there still is we know
as soon as we leave you idiots will let the taliban back in and we know that you will begin to build bases again to bomb us..

Personally i think the next time the west is attacked we should nuke every muslim holy place and level it until they are all a radioactive slag pile of molten rock..

But in america (unlike all muslims) we have a moral problem with genocide.. so i doubt we would go that far, unless your stupid enough to nuke us.. then baby its gloves off..

We will FRY you..

So i suggest we just seperate

you go to your caves and we will stay in our homes..
But dont complain that you dont have any technology or modern conviences while your sitting in your cave holding your koran..

Remember its you bed , you sleep in it..

Charles, you are a typical of the kind of American that is despicable. Americans should at least do what they say. Well, you talk democracy. You support dictatorships. You talk capitalism, yet you setup factories in Communist China. You talk equality, you have one of the worst records of racism and inequality and these problems are increasing in your own country. I know you Americans have died in far places like Vietnam (you had no business substituting for French colonialism), Iraq (you had no business there either and have become the laughing stock of the whole world; BTW, what is the latest WMD count in there?). You talk non-proliferation, but you help pakis get their 'islamic' bomb. And you are right, the aid provided to pakis has only resulted in more spits coming your way. Looks like you like it as you keep giving them more and more. Apart from WWII, there are few examples where American forces haven't been on the side of the evil. In South Africa, apartheid regime was kept in power for decades through American complicity. The list is long. There is no where to hide for your ilk.

.....actually I wasn't expecting to change your heart or your mind, but I look on the slightly brighter side and suppose, just suppose, that apparently, I just might have taught you a new three letter word.

With your mindset, and, apparently where you hail from, "...that's a great leap forward for Mankind".

So, who's trying to hide, and why should we have to? I don't see anyone here hustling the notion that the USA is perfect. We have our problems, we make mistakes. Care to enlighten me on who doesn't? Oh, you say we're supposed to be perfect because we're the biggest kids on the block? That's nonsense!

If anything, we've broken our literal and figurative backs with our well-intentioned but profligate charity for too long--and that means in both money and precious lives. And now, people think they're entitled to it, both at home and abroad. Well, bad news, Mulakush: The well is just about dry here! The good guys are about to run out of party favors for the rest of the world (not that the world is grateful anyway, of course). And all those folks who think we owe them something will have to face the hard reality that we have to pay ourselves first.

You know what that means, Mulakush? It means that you'll need to lower your expectations from us. And THAT means that you'll have to stop crying, pull up your pants and look after your OWN interests. It means, we'll look after our concerns and you deal with yours. And that's OK with this American. Just don't come simpering around for our help when it doesn't work out for you. And be assured that no one here will come crying to you...

You're definitely a kick-America-first kind of person. Perhaps you might reflect upon how much America has done for the world, like winning two world wars neither of which it started or winning the Cold War (which sometimes entailed, duh, making alliances with unsavory types in order to prevail in the larger struggle).

As for racism in America, no doubt about it, this is a great negative in American history, but America, unlike so many other nations (especially non-Western nations) has shown the capacity to apologize for its wrongdoing and then try and move on to create a more just society. You get none of this, just as you don't get that just about the only real estate America has asked for in all the wars it has fought in the past hundred years is enough ground to bury its soldiers in. America is the most decent great power in history (Britain is a close second) and you're utterly clueless.

Oh yeah, folks like you were prepared to do absolutely nothing to stop Saddam Hussein from slaughtering his own people. Bush 43 put an end to this megalomaniac, though Bush failed by believing that all people yearn to be free as Americans are. Well, many don't. Done here. Now take your hate and ignorance and peddle it elsewhere.

Who's racist? We went to war for countries that are populated with people of color. You even listed some of them (but forgot South Korea)! Most of our foreign aid goes to people of color.

Why this hatred of white peoples, Mulakush??

Hindus and Sikhs are suffering a lot under Pak's islamic rule, so why shouldn't they want to migrate to India where their wives and daughters would be safe?
In fact, they must migrate. But the sad part is that they lose all that they have worked for. Their land and homes will be sold at a pittance of their true value to some muslim goon who will rub his hands gleefully at the windfall coming to him by raping his Hindu neighbour's daughter/wife.
Sadly, the Indian government doesn't welcome them with open arms.
The Hindus suffer another shock when they come here. The Indian government is apathetic to their troubles and tries to send them back to Pakistan.

Not being a sociologist, but after having lived in British Hong Kong for several years and seeing how the English there treated the Chinese as 2nd class citizens, I might have some basic unscientific-anecdotal insight to his chip-on-the-shoulder attitude.

I suspect that he's in India or at least may be an Indian, and the British (the English) in India were very much the haughty Colonials.....also....I've spent some Home Leave time in northern India, and the class distinctions there are miles in altitude above what is thought to be 19th century "class distinctions" here in America, or even that "racism" derived from our inherited British Colonial era slavery here in earlier America. There's simply no comparison.

So, with that...emphasis on "anecdotal" ....experience behind me it's no surprise to read lashing-out type comments from former
British colonial subjects against "whites". In some cases it's a bitter memory. It's their experience speaking. Hence, it's an easy step to attach "colonialism" to American military moves in Asia. It baffles us Americans because we've never "lived it" as the former British Colonials did for approximate four centuries...that why, to a certain extent the Brit's to this day are resentful of needing our coming to their aid in two World Wars when they were so long accustomed "Ruling The Waves and Waiving The Rules", as we used to say.

Whole libraries and theses are available on the social aspects of British Colonialism, so this is only my two cents, and again is anecdotal from the 1960's.

Complex, fascinating social history........

....this might be an appropriate place to point out that the European Colonial History in all of that vast Asian land mass with all its interlocking complexities which is so fundamental to even a skimming-knowlwdge of that troublesome area....is largely beyond the attention spans of us Americans here in the 21st century.

We Americans are easily baffled when our interventions...mind you desperately needed and desperately sought-after interventions by the suffering citizens on-the-ground.....so often backfire.

That's why in an earlier post said, "You're welcome, World". I'm personally fed up after being (personally) a micro-part of the Cold War for about twelve years overseas. They can take care of themselves now, so long as we're not expected to provide more of our young blood and bales upon bales of cash....fight over there rather than here at home.

That horrible morning in September of 2001 has not seemed to be the wake-up call it should've been.....I remember Pear harbor...believe it or not....and I'm stunned right now at our politically correct passivity.

We need to heal our domestic wounds.....no one's coming to our aid....are they?

Why expect

.....[somehow omitted] ...why expect Central/West Asians to have any understanding of the American viewpoint?

They couldn't care less about our America other than a place to perhaps make a lot of money.

Mulakush, take this from someone who has a fair amount of respect for India and its people.

It seems to me that when the USA was helping Taiwan, India was one of those countries that wagged fingers at us and called us evil neo-colonialists who were keeping poor, poor, picked-on China from asserting itself over its rightful patrimony. I recall your former Minister Defense, Krishna Menon, when being told of China's bad intentions in the Himalyas (their maps STILL show Arunachal Pradesh as Chinese territory), said, "We have nothing to fear from fellow Asians" (despite having fought a war with Pakistan and having seen what happened to the Tibetans). Now, I'm sure Krishna Menon understood after 1962 that his soldiers being kicked off the Himalayan slopes in the Aksai Chin and elsewhere, was simply voluntarily doing justice for poor, aggrieved socialist China, a fellow victim of perffijjous Albion...So, why are you upset with us now that we've taken Nehru's and Menon's advice and cozied up to anti-imperialist, justice-and-peace-seeking China?

And, what of several Indian governments cozying up to the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War? Did your country care a fig for colonized fellow Asians ranging from the last Koreans and Chinese in the Primorskiy Kraj to the Transcaucasian peoples? Maybe your leaders from Jawaharlal Nehru down to Indira Gandhi were just too wrapped up in their Bandoeng Generation rhetoric to note that the colonialists from the West had packed their bags and left?

Sarcasm off.

Frankly, I am one American who is extremely suspicious of Pakistan, and recognize that as long as rebuilding Afghanistan depends on that pathological pile of sand and Islamic bigotry. I think that post-Cold War improvements in India-US relations are a good thing (heck, you guys have sent us a lot of engineers and the parents of some capable governors in Louisiana and South Carolina). But, can you at least admit maybe the diplomats of our two countries have a lot of history rife with reasons for suspicion to overcome?

Yet another informed comment by you, Kepha, this time to the joker who goes by the name of "Mulakush." "Mush" would be more appropriate.

Simply can't resist this....

Individual Citizen's Proclamation:

Hear Ye:

Attention All Finance Ministers of All Disgruntled Anti-American Governments Everywhere:

United States Treasury Employees are standing by to accept the return, with interest, of all un-repaid United States monies disbursed to all countries since 1917, be it "Lend lease" or Marshall Plan, or whatever form in which the original transfers were effected, for whatever reason, Natural Disaster Relief Funds Included.

This sensitive American Citizen does not want any reasonable Finance Ministry to be burdened with contaminated United States cash.

As the United States Secretary of State Dean Rusk is said to have muttered when General Charles deGaulle wanted "all Americans out of France", Secy Rusk supposedly mused....does he mean from all of the American Cemeteries also?"

Proclaimed this Twelth Day Of August, A.D. 2012.

United States Taxpaying Citizen Charles Griffith

............SEAL..............

American's have traded God's protection and bounty for on demand abortion and open homo conduct. What is happening now is but a taste of the horror to come. The Bible provided the way to live and men have spit on it. We vote into office criminals that lie, cheat and steal and when discovered we re-elect them. We are getting what we deserve. I am so glad that I understand and know what else is coming and what to do to keep my family safe. May God have mercy on us all and may million's of hearts turn to him during these times. Don't you want to be with your parents and children in the next life?

@Wellington and @Charles Griffith

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I'll second Wellington's comments on racism in America. I've taught Afro-French kids (both Maghrebi and Sub-Saharan in origin) who have commented on how relaxed race relations were--in some parts of the USA with what every conscientious American, Left or Right (like myself) sees as a very ugly history of bigotry. God forgive me, but I felt a kind of nasty satisfaction on hearing such comments, for I'd grown up hearing how Europeans (especially the French) were really soooooooooo much more enlightened than we benighted Americans were about race. Maybe I'm revealing how old I am by saying this.

Charles, I know something about Hong Kong, too. I lived and taught many years in Taiwan and served as a Diplomat in Bangkok and Guangzhou, with numerous Overseas Chinese contacts. In the years just before retrocession, it seemed that every time I visited HK, the place had the White-Sun-Blue-Sky-Field-of-Red Flag of the Republic of China (now just Taiwan) flying everywhere. It struck me as sort of poignant, as if the city were saying, "We're proud of being Chinese and want to be Chinese, but why does it have to be under the !@%&@$%&@$&% Commies?"

When I was in Thailand, others in the diplomatic community used to say that the only good things about Bangkok were that it's medical care was up to date, you could buy anything you wanted, the food was superb, and that some six million Thai people lived there ( a comment on both the hot, muggy climate and congestion on the one hand and the general pleasantness of the host country's people on the other). Older Westerners with long experience in Asia used to say that the peculiar Thai combination of courtesy towards outsiders coupled with a nonetheless very deep-seated self-respect was a great contrast to a lot of countries where Westerners had been colonial overlords. It sort of made me wince.

However, it still struck me that a lot of Thai people tended to look down on ethnic Malays and Khmer (from the far south and the tier of Changwat along the northern border of Cambodia respectively), who, BTW, tended to be somewhat darker in color than the Thai (and a lot of Thai who were unmixed with Chinese blood could also be pretty brown, too).

I've written elsewhere on this blog about Mainland Chinese' nasty attitudes towards Africans and their own frontier minorities (not just Muslims, BTW).

But, the real kicker came when I was in Taiwan back in the 1970's. _Roots_ was being shown on TV, and a close friend of mine used to go to an eatery at night and munch noodles or jiaozi while watching. This friend was something of a Taiwan Independence sort, of Hakka Chinese heritage (the smaller of the two major "native Taiwanese" Han groups, the larger being Hokkien), disliking the Guomindang government and thinking that liberal America was a great beacon, and I watched the latter attitude take body blows as he watched _Roots_. He said to me one day in great dismay, "How can you Americans live with such a thing in your past?"

I asked in reply, "Well, how do you guys live with what you did to the Mountain People?"

My friend replied, "That was for the sake of spreading Chinese civilization."

Other Taiwanese who watched _Roots_ made the observations, "Well, the White People had a culture to protect..." , "I'll bet that those Black People are probably like the native Southeast Asians..." and similar attitudes which, while embarrassing and painful coming from friends, taught my younger self that racism is all over the place.

But, where it told on me was that for most of my life, I'd thought of myself as a Yankee of Great Atlantic Migration heritage whose people generally came to the USA too late to have had anything to do with slavery, and that my great-grandfather's sister who followed him to these shores married a Wisconsin veteran of the Civil War--so I could even claim something of a tenuous connection with those who ended slavery. Hence, I tended to be a little bit inexcusably self-righteous in my attitude towards my southern compatriots. But there, at a noodle shop in Taiwan, I realized that the rest of the world doesn't necessarily see the pieces of our cultural mosaic, but sees only a more generalized picture of our country.

So, maybe my experience was something of getting to see my country as others saw it.

Finally, re Wellington's comments, maybe one reason why I remain an American patriot is because I see my country trying very hard to remove at least some sticks, if not logs, from its collective eye.

@ Mulakush:

Forgive me for the sarcasm I spewed forth in my earlier reply to you. I'm also one who recognizes that my country isn't perfect; and I share your mistrust of both Pakistan and Communist China (you may have guessed the latter from some of my posts). I suppose a lot of us Americans get pretty defensive at foreigners' criticisms of our country. Do you suppose Indians might be similar?

And, if I took India to task for its past relations with the Soviet Union, I'm also aware of my own country's alliance with Stalin during World War II--and Stalin was in many ways as odious as Hitler (and my father, alov hasholom, lost lots of relatives in the Shoah). I've read some of our wartime propaganda, and its fawning attitudes towards Stalin's Russia--which helped start the European war by kissing Hitler over the corpse of Poland--struck me as pretty sickening.

In my religion, we believe that man's capacity for knowledge, justice, and the holy reflects the image of God our Creator. I readily grant that the last hundred years of history worked a lot of unwarranted violence against that divine image.

The appalling Rezali Mehil wrote:

An unnamed Hindu man from Quetta:

unnamed - Tells you all you need to know about these people; Anybody could have fabricated that line.

I tell ya - I am sick of this type of hype.
.....................................

She's only sick of the victims being able to talk about it. Under full Shari'ah law, the victims are not even allowed to complain of their mistreatment.

More:

A balanced society needs all types of people in it - little and the not so little.

As long as the understanding is there - what's the problem.
.....................................

"A balanced society needs all types of people in it - little and the not so little"—Rezali Mehil has characterized Hindus as "little" before. While pious Muslims look down on Infidels in general, they absolutely *despise* Hindus, and sneer at them unmercifully.

You can also tell from this that she does not believe that Pakistan—or any other Muslim nation—need treat Hindus as citizens with equal rights.

And that last—"as long as the understanding is there—is a reference to dhimmitude. She has the idea that everything is "fine" as long as Hindus realize that Muslims will never treat them as equals, and will always mistreat them—including kidnapping, raping, and forcibly converting Hindu girls.

Posters like Rezali Mehil show the savage ugliness of Islam. Really, that is the only positive effect these vicious Muslim trolls have here.

....How refreshing to see here those familiar spellings of those Chinese locations and situations......Whew! I don't need now to feel so much like a "big-nosed foreigner" who's just had a Rip van Winkle hiatus......

Cheers!, Kepha....open another TsingTao for me..or, is it a mao-tai?

@ charles griffith & other americans,

your slanging matches with malakush were off the topic.though us sided with pakis during cold war,it was a dream country for hindus then &now! our best brains always landed up in US.[and still aspiring]. Nehru,the mogul descent traitor and commie mole krishna menon annoyed US in all possible ways. this despite US providing massive food aid [PL 480] and offer of nukes against chinks.[chinese]
there are millions of informed indians who like US and its world views. George Bush was more popular in india than any other nation as per a survey by PEW or some reputed agency.
professionals in my city wait 24 hours before US consulate for visa, braving sun & rain!

one day indians will have to be alongside US troops against
islamic fascists!
so pl bear with a few useless idiots ,who never represent the masses!

Be assured that most Americans bear India no ill-will. And, while I traded some verbal blows with Malakush, I agree with him that the USA has gotten too close to Pakistan and Communist China.

Actually, Charles, the way I usually spell "Qingdao" is 青岛; the way I usually spell "Hong Kong" is 香港; I call Taiwan (台湾) "Formosa" only when there are Portuguese- or Spanish-speakers around, or am writing about matters taking place in the 17th century. Part of the reason why I like Hanzi is that my wife speaks both Mandarin/Putonghua and Hakka with nearly equal native fluency, is rather good in Minnan, and could understand Cantonese in a pinch. It's nice to have a set of written symbols that are independent of spoken pronunciation!

And, if I've started using Pinyin more, it's chiefly because it facilitates Chinese WP, which I must engage in once in a while (especially since I've taught Elementary Chinese in my High School). Frankly, I think the Pinyin system is every bit as bad as the Wade-Giles (which, I'm sure, was designed not to aid students, but to help Anglophone initiates in the area of Mandarin phonology recognize each other), but, I've had to join since I can't beat it.

My Thai has gone rusty, for while I can still sort of converse in it, I can no longer read it.

As a matter of curiosity, when were you in the Far East and where?
