Communist demigod Karl Marx famously said, “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”
As the Indian state of West Bengal inches towards its legislative elections, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has now joined forces with influential Islamist personality, Abbas Siddiqui. Siddiqui is a cleric from West Bengal’s Muslim dominated region Furfura Shariff; he was seen praying for the death of 500 million Indians due to the coronavirus.
In India, Communists have done everything in their power to eradicate the Hindu religion, while working hand in glove with the Islamists. The Islamists are drunk on their religious sermons and promises of an afterlife — paradise and the amenities it comes with. With their lack of consideration for science, their coalition with the Communists is quite confusing to the casual observer.
The left shamelessly backing the hate-mongering Islamists is not new in Indian politics. A thesis drafted by CPI ideologue Gangadhar Adhikari in 1942 reveals how the Communists had backed the Muslims, claiming that the Hindus would oppress the Muslims in a united independent India, and supported Jinnah’s demand of dismembering the country to form a Muslim nation at both sides of the Indian landmass. This support and provocation, in a way, had led to the ruthless slaughter of countless Bengali Hindus in 1946. The massacre is known as the Great Calcutta Killings or The Direct Action Day.
The barbarous Direct Action Day, a chilling chapter in India’s history, was omitted by our assorted historians, who have aced the art of nefarious distortion.
By 1946, the Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, had already made its demand for a separate Islamic nation. Fearing that Hindu domination would frustrate his designs, an insecure Jinnah summoned his fanatical followers and called for “Direct Action” on August 16, 1946.
At noon sharp, the league’s rally, consisting of 30,000 Muslims, commenced from the Shaheed Minar; it was the largest Muslim assembly that Bengal had ever seen up to that day. Muslim leader Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy saw to it that no administrative powers such as the police or military would come to contain what they were about to unleash on the Hindu population of the state.
Riots broke out across the cultural capital and fanatical Muslims began stabbing the Hindus, shutting down their shops, and throwing stones and brickbats at them. Bustling areas of economic importance for the Hindus like Colootolla, Rajabazar, and College Street were their well-contemplated targets. Trucks carrying the attendees of the Muslim League rally, communally charged by the instigating speeches of leaders like Khawaja Nazimuddin pulled over at the Harrison Road, marking the beginning of the dance of death that would continue for days to come.
The next day, a Muslim mob led by the President of Garden Reach Textile Workers’ Union, Syed Abdullah Farooqui, attacked hapless unarmed labourers residing in the mills. About 7,000 to 10,000 Oriya labourers were reported dead.
Fire engulfed the erstwhile British capital; slums, houses, markets were all burned down. The famous Howrah Bridge was packed for days with scared evacuees struggling to escape the slaughter. But only a handful was lucky enough to attain the “high ambition” of staying alive.
The mobs were so violent that even the highly trained British police failed to bring the situation under control for the first 72 hours. Over 100,000 people were displaced forever, and the administration has failed to put an exact number to the lives lost. With every report, the number keeps changing. Calcutta was made to witness a bloodbath it had never seen before and, we may hope, will not experience again.
But the sky above the Bengali Hindu’s head seems to be turning red again. The massive ocean of kufi-wearing attendees that crowded the Brigade Parade Ground last week is dreadfully reminiscent of the gathering at the Shahid Minar some 75 years ago.
Their leader announces that he will free his “motherland” even if it requires blood. A Hindu Bengali shivers. Which motherland is this cleric referring to? They have already taken away Bangladesh. The little strip of West Bengal remaining with India was a land where millions of Bangladeshi Hindus were robbed of their homes, riches, families and honour, found a little shelter, a tiny roof, a piece of land to call their own. What does Abbas Siddiqui mean when he says he will free this land with blood?
We hope the world is watching. We hope we never again see another episode of the Calcutta Killings.
Wellington says
Fitting since Marxism and Islam are both totalitarian ideologies, the latter the oldest still-around totalitarian ideology and the former one of the more recent colossal errors of mankind.
Of course, eventually Commies and Muzzies would tear each other apart as the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939 demonstrates so well that there is no honor among thieves—and every totalitarian ideology represents a kind of theft, i.e., the theft of the best that mankind can produce, never mind outright stealing of property which is theft pure and simple like and also another negative all totalitarian ideologies have in common. Which reminds me of what Thomas Jefferson opined, to wit, where there is no protection of private property, there is no freedom. And, most surely, Marxism and Islam know nothing of liberty. Indeed, both hate it.
So it goes. So it still goes. What a continued waste of a potentially great species, Homo sapiens by name. This time in India but idiocy has no geographical or cerebral boundaries.

Well said, Wellington. I think your comprison with the connivance between Stalin and Hitler is a valid one.

Hit the nail on the head right there.

Kinda looks like when Hitler joined with the muslims in the genocide of the jew’s
Infidel says
This is not new. Bengalis – of every religion – are the only morons who kept electing Marxists non-stop for 34 years, from 1977 to 2011. And those Marxists saw to it that the state had an open border w/ Bangladesh, so that Bangladeshis who came in illegally got to vote for them. Same story as the Dems in California. Once one understands that, one also understands the reason both the Marxists and the current ruling party in Left Bengal are rabidly opposed to the NRC, which would sort out illegal aliens from citizens, and deport the former (allowing a caveat for non-Muslim refugees under the CAA)
In the 2019 national elections, Left Bengal for the first time in history did give the BJP 18 out of 42 seats, which is why that party is fervently campaigning in the state to win its first ever election there. It’s that state’s best hope, if they want an economy any better than Bangladesh’s

India: Communists join forces with Muslim leaders against Hindus
………………
Totalitarians joining together against the civilized.
Walter Sieruk says
This is another example of the strange and wicked phenomenon that has occurred around the world that is called the “Red /Green Alliance.”
This evil wonder is of course dangerous and destructive,
as seen in this picture along with its article
Here again the Bible verse of Proverbs 11:21. does apply to this topic. For informs the reader that “Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]
SKA says
Tactical allies but in the long run strategic enemies. Leftist eschew biological self-propagation where Muslims are fruitful and multiply. So the left dooms itself.
OTTER says
India is racing towards another religious inferno because of the same old reason: myopic and cowardly Hindus and fanatical Muslims. When will the world ever learn that Islam is a death cult–the only way to check it is to defeat it in battle.
Hindus never remember and Muslims never forget.

It is just the question of political will . West Bengal is ruled by an extremist left wing politician by the name of Mamta Banerjee whose avowed aim is to topple BJP with the help of Marxists and Muslim League and muslim infiltrators from Bangladesh . More than 20-30 percent of population in Calcutta are illegal muslim migrants from Bangladesh who are backing Mamta in fraudulent voting and in turn Mamta completely ignores the immigration problem . It is very much like what Biden is trying to do in America. God save Bengal from Mamta!
Infidel says
I have been peripherally following the news there, and her party has been seeing major defections to the BJP. Usually, that’s a precursor of a trend towards the next party in power, since her TMC too saw such growth in 2011, when they first came to power. All the non-BJP parties – the Marxists, Congress and TMC have promoted this illegal immigration for the sake of votes, but what exacerbates that situation is that there is a good percentage of the population that still has a nostalgia for a pre-1947 united Bengal of both Left Bengal and Bangladesh. Until those people die out, it’s gonna be an uphill struggle for that state
Peter says
I agree but their number is very few octogenarians and nonagenarians who were involved as young men and women n Indian Independence movement .
Billy Corr says
Perhaps the Communists in West Bengal are unintentionally ignorant of history.
In Iran, the Leftists* did everything in their power to bring the Ayatollah Khomeini and his adherents to supreme power and were subsequently subjected to judicial murder in their hundreds (and possibly in their thousands) by the likes of the Ayatollah Khalkali, the “hanging judge.”
* The overthrow of the Shah was a prolonged affair; Iranian Leftists in Europe, who published materials in European languages as well as in Farsi, explained in some detail that assisting the religious obscurantists to power was a necessary tactic before the “revolutionary masses” turned to the Left for leadership and a bright Marxist future.
Billy Corr says
The relationship between the Iranian Left and the dogmatic Islamists was a classic case of a grotesquely ill-advised alliance of convenience in which one party ended by destroying the other.
It deserves to be noticed that the Leftists had proclaimed to the world that the “revolutionary masses”, led by the enlightened Marxists, would sweep the religious obscurantists aside at the first opportunity. What befell the Left in Iran was similar to what had befallen the Communists in Sudan and Iraq.
Billy Corr says
There is some material of interest here about the Khalkhali era – https://iranwire.com/en/features/933 https://iranwire.com/en/features/933

True, Billy. After the Mullahs consolidated their power they savagely liquidated the Communist Tudeh Party. A good–but harrowing–book on the subject is Houshang Asadi’s “Letters to My Torturer”.
Hadrian says
Well….
Hindus are well aware that mainstream media outlets are no friends of theirs. They need to tone down on the Hindutva rubbish and adopt Vajpayee’s notions. In other words, they need to stop giving themselves a bad name first. With Biden – Harris ruling, I think they’ll intervene. They also need to realise that India is a kaffir nation by itself, turning it into a full blown Hindu rashtra is gonna put them on the Islamists’ radar. Their military strength is nothing compared to the jihadist groups. Its about time the Indians and the rest of the world stop being pseudo secular and subject Islam to intense criticism. The “Islamophobia” card is a double edged sword, it doesn’t take a 6 year old to realise this. True, compassion, gentle scrutiny, “interpretative” treatment of the doctrine and rubbing off Islamism as an extremist “interpretation” of the Quran will encourage Muslims to adopt more liberal policies. On the other hand, the hard liners who are in fact translating every word of the Quran into action will delight in evading cogent criticism of their religion and… guess what? Its the fastest growing religion, the radicals will outpower the moderates. The worthless virtue signalling to remove religious drive, or reducing it to a mere matter of “interpretation”, in all these jihads, has got to go.
Infidel says
India has always been on the radar of jihadists, since it was for 800 years a part of dar ul islam. If the Palis want Israel eradicated, the same thing is true about Pakis. It’s not that they want just Kashmir: given a choice, they’d like to get back Delhi, Agra, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and indeed all of India. They may not be as stupid enough to openly declare it, but ‘Ghazwa e Hind’ (or the re-islamization of India) is a well known project of theirs
As for Hindutva, it’s the only thing protecting Hindu girls from experiencing the same fate as their sisteren (what’s the female version of brethren?) in both Pakistan and Bangladesh – getting abducted and converted to islam. Even there, only some states in India, such as UP, are safe, since the bulk of them do not have laws against this practice. Similarly, the movement towards temples is needed to beat down the azaan being a part of a landscape, which typically scares away Hindus and helps drive up muslim numbers in any neighborhood. Since India doesn’t have the equivalent of a Second Amendment that we do in the US, they find themselves at the receiving end of threats, and depending on the state they’re in, even the cops don’t protect them. The only thing protecting Hindus are their sheer numbers, but even that threatens to be dampened unless the NRC is implemented throughout India, not just in Assam or Bengal
peter says
It is completely other way round . The only language muslims understand is the power of strength . Look at Israel . All Arabs except Palestenians are kissing up to Israel once they realized that they cannot destroy Israel .For your information Islam is not the fastest growing religion . It is a fiction .It is probably the fastest disappearing religion . Muslims are leaving Islam in droves which is a well guarded secret by the popular mainstream media all over world. BJP is on the right path and Modi has already succeeded where most of his predecessors have failed. Keep up the good work BJP.

I’m not a big fan of Hindu supremacism, but the idea that the MSM would be fine with opposition to to Jihad terror if only Hindus were to “tone down on the Hindutva rubbish” is mistaken. Anyone who opposes Jihad is excoriated.

it is going on since the time of gandhi. this is nothing new infact it is leftists who suffer ultimately. they never learn.

I never thought I’d see the day that the BJP would be in striking distance of coming to power in that state: it was hopelessly communist since 1977, and in India, that state is most hostile to both freedom and free markets. It’s a bit like what Berkeley is in the US
Let’s see how this election turns out: outcome will be known on May 2nd
jca reid says
Totalitarians support each other. Only time they don’t is when one directly attacks the other. Classic example is when Nazi Germany assaulted the Communist USSR. Only difference between Islamists & Communists is different symbol/s. Their aim is the same though: subjugate & enslave.
