Hindu human rights activist Narain Kataria dies at 85

Nov 5, 2015 9:38 am By Robert Spencer

The great Hindu freedom fighter Narain Kataria has died. For years, wherever free people gathered to stand for freedom against tyranny and oppression, Narain and his friends and colleagues were there. He was tireless, persevering, and indomitably courageous. In the face of extraordinary resistance from the forces of darkness and hatred, he never quailed, never hesitated to stand for the truth no matter what the cost. Unlike the vast majority of people in the U.S. today, he wasn’t willing to curtail his activities for freedom in the face of violent intimidation, or to retreat into half-truths and lies that were more acceptable to the ruling elites than the truth.

Narain Kataria was what we all should be: a man who stood for the right, no matter the cost. May we all emulate him. May his memory be eternal.

“Hindu Community Loses Great Hero… Narain Kataria Dies At 85,” by Vincent Bruno, Justice for Hindus, November 3, 2015:

Anyone involved in Hindu activism has heard of Narain Kataria. Mr. Kataria was undoubtedly the pioneer of Hindu political activism in America. President and founder of the “Indian American Intellectuals Forum (http://www.saveindia.com/forum.htm), Narain was a fierce proponent of Hindu rights in South Asia and abroad. Mr. Kataria fearlessly rallied the Hindu community of NYC for the cause; he did this despite constant threat to his life from the burgeoning Islamic community here.

Kataria was a relentless organizer, he was the guiding hand behind several organizations and events, such as Hindu Unity Day. Narain Kataria was responsible for kick starting Justice For Hindus (JFH) with his labyrinth of contacts and his field tested knowledge and advice. It was Mr. Kataria who publicized and popularized JFH’s first events among NYC’s political Hindu network and published them in his tabloids.

Kataria understood the threat of Islamism all to well, he himself had been forced to flee his homeland as a teenager after the partition of India when his state of Sindh was handed over to Islamic Pakistan which was followed by anti-Hindu pogroms. For his work to save Hindus and humanity, Kataria was often misunderstood, derided and ridiculed as being an “Islamophobe” and hater. Despite the setbacks and thanklessness of his task, Kataria never lost sight of his moral vision and persevered to the end, always working for the community.

Mr. Kataria passed away in his sleep in the hours between November 2nd and November 3rd 2015. He will be forever remembered and cherished. His life was an example for all Hindus to follow. Surely his soul has found a greater incarnation.

    What a brave man. RIP, Mr. Kataria.

    The worst thing that could have happened in my life would have been being born a Muslim. I am a non practising Hindu. May this brave man’s soul rest in peace.

    Kataria was a brave, courageous man whose light will be sorely missed in this dark age of the Kali Yuga. Let us take inspiration from his life.

    Article …”Mr. Kataria fearlessly rallied the Hindu community of NYC for some cause”…

    This is false…you cannot rally the hindoo community…this is an oxymoron. From childhood they are told to walk with their head bowed…not to lookup… incase their eyes meet with others who walk with a straight head. They do not rally …they sit watching Pakistani movies, watching the manly muslim men heroes in awe. Many confide that they love the muslim look of having no moustache above the lip and below the nose…and yet a nice beard on the chin and below.

    More …we have all heard that condoms still slip off their saluting little master.. and their caste system to boot …leave 99% of them wit no wiggle room.

    Keep watching the muslim movies…

    More Later …

      Rezali,,

      You have started your Islamic supremacist imaginations once again and I can assure you no one in JW will buy your cock and bull stories.

      You are an epitome of liars as is obvious in your post. You must be an offspring of Satan, the father of lies. What else to expect from an apologetic of Islam?

    Wish he would have been, or will be, nominated for an award during your annual counter-jihad awards. Perhaps a lifetime achievement award?

    HINDUS THANK ROBERT SPENCER FOR THE GENEROUS AND MOST FITTING ELEGY FOR THE ‘GENERAL’

    Robert with an unhidden heavy heart describes Narain Kataria as he and his fellow freedom activists saw and knew Narain Kataria- actively mobilizing a sedate Hindu community against a foe that had enslaved them for centuries under various Islamic regimes that will make ISIS today look like school boys.
    Narain Kataria’s task was equally daunting, in correctly informing the Hindus spoon fed from cradle to grave on the Myths of a ‘Hindu-Muslim Unity’, Gandhi’s extremist pacifism, well entrenched Dhimmi psychology and a hostility towards the Truth sayer as ‘communalists’ and ‘Hate mongers’.
    As Robert describes Narain Kataria- he was truly a ‘Pioneer’- in the field of Freedom struggle against Islamo fascism- few would even be knowing that the first serious Intellectual and ideological Critique came from Hindu thinkers- such as Sita Ram Goel and Ram Swarup. The first ever Legal challenge to Islam was made by Hindu activists like the Calcutta Koran Petition in mid-1980s.
    These serious Critique and Rejection of Islamic ideology were long before any Rushdie and 9/11.
    Narain Karia reached out to the grass roots this Pioneering Critical Freedom Thought.
    Similarly the call for a United Front (Christians, Jews, Bhudhists and Pagans) against Pan-Islamist global advance was also issued by Hindu thinkers like Swarup.
    Narain Kataria materialized this need for Solidarity with Israel.
    Just as there is residual obsolete anti-semitism that confuses many Christians from correctly seeing issues and standing for Israel, the conflation of evangelism among Hindus with Christian anti-Islamist movements stood in the way of standing together with them- Narain Kataria and his actvists clarified this to hindu community and result of this Solidarity can be seen in videos of Ground Zero Mosque- where Jews, Hindus and Christian groups and leaders speak in one voice against Islamo Supremacists.
    Here is Narain Kataria, the ‘General’ of this grass roots mobilization against the ever advancing common enemy- just hear his crystal clarity of what humanity is facing and therefore must stand together-

    May God in Heaven preserve his light for a man I may have never known about had I not decided to read this post. I am touched by this information. He was truly a honorable, brave man who tried to save his fellow Indian Hindu’s to raise their awareness in hopes of resisting being engulfed.

    The pacifism of Ghandi, the peace that Ghandi wanted has a different meaning to me now, it in a way may have been due to the inertia of the spirit against the reality of horror.This is the fight.

    Narain Kataria, I am sorry I never knew you, thank you Robert for the introduction to a hero.

    Narain Kataria is on you tube.. I was curious and found him. His video interview, shows his knowledge and experience of being purged from his land in India, as the muslim jihadi invasion turned his area into Pakistan, by the sword. He lived it and posted his distain of the insensitive nature, brutal tactics of islam in NY.,from the 9/11 attacks to the attempt of a Ground Zero mosque. He speaks.

      Narain Kataria witnessed the deception (he used the word tacyqqa) of Islam to keep India’s leadership ignorant of the ideology that was brutal in nature, and noticed the same effect on American leadership. Very interesting as he describes it factually.
