My latest at PJ Media:
Hindu students at Rutgers University recently introduced a petition asking Rutgers University to take action against South Asian History Professor Audrey Truschke because of “the bigotry being peddled against Hindus via continued derision of our religion, our deities, and our sacred texts.” Truschke, said the petition, “falsely linked Hindus with extremists and white supremacists rioting at Capitol Hill; claimed that the Bhagavad Gita, a central Hindu sacred text, ‘rationalizes mass slaughter’ and violence”; “Whitewashed Hindu genocide by Mughal king Aurangzeb (death toll of 4.6 million)”; and much more. But Rutgers, knowing who the protected victim classes are and who they aren’t, waved away the petitioners by claiming a commitment to “academic freedom.” Sure, and the sun sets in a muddy pool near Los Angeles.
OpIndia reported Tuesday that Rutgers released a statement declaring: “Rutgers emphatically supports Professor Truschke, academic freedom in pursuing her scholarship, abhors the vile messages and threats that are being directed at her, and calls for an immediate end to them.”
The Rutgers statement also emphasized the importance of “academic freedom”: “Scholarship is sometimes controversial, perhaps especially when it is at the interface of history and religion, but the freedom to pursue such scholarship, as Professor Truschke does rigorously, is at the heart of the academic enterprise.”’
Yeah, sure, Rutgers. Academic freedom, you say? Support for controversial scholarship, you say? How many open supporters of President Trump are on your faculty? How many of your professors would dare affirm the simple, obvious, and readily demonstrable fact that core Islamic texts contain numerous exhortations to warfare against unbelievers? “Academic freedom,” eh, Rutgers? Great. I’ll be there in the fall to teach a seminar on the history of jihad against India. See y’all then, eh?
Truschke, freshly affirmed for parroting positions that are acceptable to the leftist neofascists who control American academia, expressed her gratitude to Rutgers while simultaneously striking the victimhood pose that is standard procedure nowadays for everyone on the left who faces even the mildest criticism: “The Rutgers administration has released a statement of support. Rutgers backs academic freedom, including of controversial subjects. I also thank my university administration for calling an immediate end to the vile messages and threats directed at me.”
Rutgers doesn’t really care about academic freedom at all. It was a foregone conclusion that the university would defend Truschke, since her “scholarship” is devoted to whitewashing the bloody record of Islamic jihad. If she were a critic of that jihad and a reliable historian of the jihad against India, Rutgers would not only not be talking about “academic freedom,” but it would have fired her by now, if it had ever hired her at all.
There is more. Read the rest here.

– Koenrad Elst in Negationism in India gives an estimate of 80 million Hindus killed in the total jihad against India. [Koenard Elst, Negationism in India, Voice of India, New Delhi, 2002, pg. 34.]
— following from an interview of Swami Vivekananda, published in Prabuddha Bharat. April, 1899 and compiled under heading ‘On the Bounds of Hinduism’.
“When the Mohammedans first came we were said – I think on the authority of Ferishta, the oldest Mohammedan historian – to have been six hundred millions of Hindus. Now we are about two hundred millions (in 1899).
“The country of India today is only half the size of ancient India, due to jihad. The mountains near India are called the Hindu Kush, meaning the “funeral pyre of the Hindus.”
– According to an 1899 statement made by Indian religious leader Swami Vivekananda, quoting a Muslim historian, Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus during an 800-year Muslim rule, bringing a population down from 600 million to 200 million at the time (1899):
– as many as 400 million Hindus were killed by Islamic invasions and under Islamic rule
This is the largest religiously-motivated genocide in history.
mortimer says
The most recent genocide against Hindus occurred in 1971, when the Pak Army murdered some 3 million Bengalis and raped some 300,000 in what was called ‘Operation Searchlight’.
jeb montgomery says
1991 100,000 kashmir hindus
1997 6,000 kashmir hindus
1999 800 kashmir buddists and christians
2002 2000 hindus in gujarat
2002 600 hindus in pakistan (by this point pakistan have already killed off most of their hindus)
2003 1000 hindus in fiji
2006 200 hindus in malaysia
2008 300 hindus in mumbai
2011 57 hindus indonesia
2013 4000 hindus in myanmar (skinned alive by rohingyas)
2014 32 hindus in pakistan
2019 54 hindus in pakistan
2020 15 hindus in pakistan
2020 200 hindus in west bengal, india
2021* 26 hindus in pakistan (2 weeks before this comment was posted)
Conclusion: It’s an ongoing thing. As westerners, we have blood of these hindus by allowing our leftists peddle this hinduphobia to further the islamists’ agenda for oil dollars. They are using the money we paid for their oil to buy of the weakest and loudest links of our society to further the goal of their caliphate. If we don’t stop this menace even if it requires overwhelming violence, we will end up like India. The state of hindus in the world should be a cautionary tale for the rest of the civilized world. Skulls need to be cracked and bones need to be broken to keep the commies in check. Violence is the only language they understand. So fight tooth and nail for the second amendment at ANY cost.

Yikes! The tally is infuriating!

Jeb, your political philosophy was condemned and punished at Nuremberg.
john smith says
Mortimer and Jed thanks for this information.
Jed I don’t know why, but I was completely unaware as to what went on in Myanmar in 2013, I just had to google it. Absolutely horrific.
Yet the MSM made sure that we all got to know when the rohingyas got booted out of the country.
somehistory says
mortiimer,
You like to accuse people of being like those tried in Nuremberg.
You learned the word “Nuremberg” and you learned the word “trial” and you learned “condemned.” Now you just need to find out ***who*** were tried and ***why*** they were put on trial.
Then you can stop jumping on your court bench to tell people how evil they are.
The guilty mo slums and all their ilk, all of those who support them, will be ***punished.****
The Bible, even more important than what was decided at Nuremberg, says that anyone willfully taking the life of another, will forfeit his/her own. So, even your mo slums will be punished for what they have done and what they are doing.
gravenimage says
Jeb, you are grimly correct that non-Muslim populations are dropping in every Muslim-majority location, as Infidels are driven out, forcibly converted, and murdered outright.
Infidel says
Somehistory, Mortimer sounds more like someone who attended Hitler’s rallies at Nuremburg than someone who attended any of the trials: his willingness to apply cancel culture on posters here. It’s just a shame that there’s no way to block his inane posts, which add nothing to what we know about islam or jihad
gravenimage says
Mortimer is a genuine Anti-Jihadist, and is very knowledgeable about the texts and tenets of Islam–I have a great deal of respect for this. But he often attacks other good people here for criticizing Jihadists, or even for just joking, and compares them to Nazis. Odd and often disturbing stuff.
Brando says
She is a LEFTIST and they are the allies of Muslims, but it is a Marriage of Convenience, since the Typical Leftist thinks: Islam=Race, Muslim=Race.
1.Looking at it from That Position: White Leftists are SUBCONSCIOUSLY ( 95% of our Decisions are based on what is in the SUBCONSCIOUS)
treating the Non-White HINDUS as Inferiors because of COLORISM.
2.Leftists say science says ( and why not?) that GENETICS says there is Only One Race: the Human Race.
3.All the same,there are Different Categories of the Same Race:Mongoloid(including Amerindians) and Caucasoid and Australoid and Negroid.
COLORISM
1.HINDUS are CAUCASOID, and some are very BROWN and others are BLACK in color( those who speak DRAVIDIAN languages: Tamil, Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam).
.2The facial symmentry,face, is the SAME as those of WHITE Caucasoids ( only difference is SKIN color)
3.But in colorism: a MAN can have 10 out of 10 FACIAL symmetry but if his skin color is Brown or Black…….he is considered to be LESS attractive ( Negative) the DARKER the skin. Tinder experiments prove it.
THE ORIGIN
1.For 190,000 years Homo Sapiens were NOMADS, there was No Agriculture, people lived in CAVES or slept on the GROUND, moving like animals every week or day.
2.Even after man learned how to CREATE FIRE when it was DARK( Night ) it was a Matter of LIFE and DEATH.
NOT SURVIVE THE NIGHT
I don’t know if you know it,but a BABY ELEPHANT of BABY DEER, does NOT survive the night All Alone and Isolated from his group: it is DEFENSELESS , lions and wolfs and hyenas smell it, and it is killed.
For 190,000 years it was the SAME for Homo Sapiens: the NIGHT or DARKNESS Literally,and I repeat,Literally,meant DEATH (negative).
And LIGHTNESS, meant LIFE (good), so subconsciously that Leftist Professor has a Contempt ( Mepris, in French) for Hindus ( and YES, also for Muslims,the vast majority of who are NON-white).
gravenimage says
Brando, I’m afraid that your condoning racism (or “colorism”, as you prefer) because humans understandibly prefer light to darkness for reasons of survival is just silly. Not everyone is racist.
You are quite right that many leftists conflate Islam with minority ethnicity, though, which is absurd.

Truschke should spend time with some Hindu historians who are experts on the subject.

Lol savage. Anyway as I’d said in the earlier article, petitions and censorship only serve to discredit one’s own position as an “intellectual kshatriya” as the Hindus would put it. Remember, it was the MUSLIMS who were repeatedly calling for bans against SR Goel’s books. Unfortunately, Robert is also correct that it was a foregone conclusion that Truschke would get away with it scot-free. Stick to the principles of academic expression and controversial scholarship, and provide a rebuttal. They’ll resort to the cheap leftist tactics, like labelling y’all as Hindutva. Remind them of the aforementioned principles and see what happens next.
The Left will vilify and demonise Hindus, Christians, Jews, basically every culture that no-good death cult had bullied and atrociously raped, just to pamper the Muslims. People like CJ Wherlman have gone on a rant against Jews and Hindus, and then there is the two faced fool Mohan Dutta at Massey University. People like these compare reports in caliphates and India to “prove” that Muslims are actually tolerant and Hindus are not reforming. Conveniently ignoring the fact that Pakistan has become so fanatic that you literally need to answer some questions about Islam and declare that Ahmadis aren’t Muslims to get a frigging VISA, I don’t even need to talk about Afghanistan. Caliphates are so totalitarian, their journalists and religious minorities have been completely terrorised into silence, which is not the case in India. To mistake their ‘dhimmitude’ for voluntary compliance, takes quite a bit of audacity to push such a dishonest claim in academe. They can stop flattering themselves, the likening of Indian Muslims to German Jews is gratuitously downplaying the Holocaust.
Fred van de Bunt says
Basically that Aurangzheb was a warlord, like Mohammed, and a harsh sharia law ruler.
I read here:
“The conquest of the Deccan, to which Aurangzeb devoted the last 26 years of his life…Aurangzeb’s encampment was like a moving capital – a city of tents 30 miles in circumference, with some 250 bazaars, with a 1⁄2 million camp followers, 50,000 camels and 30,000 elephants, all of whom had to be fed…Not only famine but bubonic plague arose … ”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurangzeb
If one reads about the enormity of this Islamic war machine, whose destructive power rolls through an area, India, containing 158 million people, causing death, diseases, hunger and poverty, one can only imagine it must have caused millions and millions of (Hindu) victims:
“Even Aurangzeb, had ceased to understand the purpose of it all by the time he was nearing 90…”
Raconteur says
Audrey mentor is Ayesha Jalal a Pakistani
Comments describing her mentor’s work by her own peers while firing her from job ,apply to Audrey too
Jalal’s books was “glib,” and that her work in general showed “no progression of research.” White noted that he “felt like [he] was reading a newspaper” when examining Jalal’s work, and that her prose was, in his opinion, “tortured.” Id. at 9. Milner said that she was struck by the lack of evidentiary support in Jalal’s books, a reaction that White shared.
Reference comments by @D Patel
Columbia U fired her and won in court that concluded against Jalal.

Since then, Ayesha Jalal is working at Harward University with his anti-India Indian husband Sugata Bose
Pseudo intellectual in social sciences History ,anthropology etc, don’t even know Sanskrit or Persian
rely on mistranslated works produce mediocre & unscholarly work ,they should be exposed & penalized

Dude says
The lady clearly knows nothing of the Bhagavad-gita. It is not a book, but rather a process.
Yoga means “union”, union with God. It begins:
Chapter 4 TEXT 34
“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.”
But for so many glaring reasons her conclusions are simply offensive, pushing her further and further away from life’s goal.
To see the gentle koalas of India as terrorists is as far from reality as possible. In fact, it was this gentle nature that allowed the pillaging by the mohammedan bandit gangs. However now that they know the depths of evil polluting the world outside, they will not tolerate it ever again.
Name one Mohammedan who actually purchased their Indian home. They don’t deserve to be there. Period.
Infidel says
Strictly speaking, Bhagvad Gita ain’t even a ‘book’: it’s a bunch of chapters in Bheeshma Parva in the Mahabharat, which itself is a section of the Mahabharat, dedicated to the first 10 days of the 18 day war. The Bhagvad Gita doesn’t advocate anything, but the bottom line of Krishna to Arjun in the battlefield was that since he was fighting for righteousness, it was his duty to fight, even if he was fighting his relatives – be it cousins, grand-uncle, preceptors and so on
One of the main themes of those chapters is the explanation of the life cycles from birth to death and how souls move from one body to the next after death. But it’s a stretch to claim that explaining that to someone is somehow rationalizing mass murder
somehistory says
The world has reached an incredible “double standard.” If one tells the truth about islam or mo slums, that one is ….fill in the blank with any word that comes to mind and means something bad/awful/terrible happens to the speaker.
If one tells a lie about any other religion, idea, person, people, group, etc., that one has freedom of speech until even after the cows all come home. And this is especially true if the speaker also defends islam, promotes islam, supports mo slums no matter what, etc.
Did every one hear chucky shumer when he was talking about the gun ban and said, “No more hope and prayers, no more thoughts and prayers,”…..then said how they were gonna go after the gun owners.
If mo slums regularly spoke about praying for victims of violence, old chucky would not have been so vocal about mocking those who pray for victims of gun violence.

Rutgers Prof Whitewashes Genocide of Hindus, Rutgers Calls It ‘Academic Freedom’
………………..
Yes, this is just appalling.
tgusa says
This is supposed to be an institution of higher learning, you idiots!
“vile messages and threats directed at me”
Lets just label those academic freedom and call it a day.
Westman says
The bigger picture is Pakistan and India are on a collision course that is likely to culminate in a nuclear exchange. When it happens(only China might prevent it), it will be obvious to all that Islamic aggression was a factor. India may then, because of insurrection, be forced to make a decision about whether to allow Muslims to remain in India.
Maybe Audrey Truschke will have an opportunity to observe and write a book from her Ivory Tower. She could shorten the time by living in Pakistan, now, as a Hindu and write the fascinating account of her loving acceptance by Muslims.
Infidel says
Right now, not only is India a mortal enemy of China, but last year, after the Galwan clash, opinion polls in India showed China edging out Pakistan as India’s #1 enemy. In fact, Pakistan is now little more than Xinxiang South-West
Also, India has been actively countering Chinese influence throughout Asia (except of course the muslim parts, which are all a part of China’s belt/road empire)
Westman says
Right on. It will be interesting to see if China can control Islamic nations or discovers that it was attempting to herd cats.
Daniel Silvan says
Academic freedom includes lies now.
Rowana Seymour says
And obviously, academic freedom allows for endorsement of religious genocide. So is any non-islamic population safe? Obviously not.
vcragain says
“supporters of President Trump” are in a class of their own actually ! They are supporting of a con-man, liar, cheat & all round disgusting human – BUT – What has that got to do with the ‘bent’ of this newsletter & movement ? You are trying to get the facts out about the religion of Islam, and you keep on putting out your POLITICAL favorite meme of trumpism ??? Sorry you are failing in your supposed task ! All the while you & other Republicans keep up the support of the man who has cheated you all on who he is, and pulled you all into a quagmire of stupidity & lies, the more you fail at anything you try – he is DESTROYING you all & you cannot see it. Your Republican ideals are destroyed, even your supposed ‘love of country’ is destoryed – you have NOTHING to offer America any longer…..give up trump-the-destroyer-of-all-things-American which you seem to think you HAVE to embrace just to get back at ‘those Libs’ (yep – me!) – and we are watching you all with total amazement at how low you will go just to be spiteful ! For God’s sake guys – drop the silly nonsense & open your eyes – trump is laughing all the way to the bank ! You could just be normal Republicans & get busy with discussing the best way to get trump out of your heads & lives – because otherwise he is pulling you into irrelevance bit by bit – a few are recognizing what he is doing, and it IS a start !
James Lincoln says
vcragain,
Just one question:
Who would better protect the United States against any further islamization:
1. Donald Trump.
2. Joe Biden.
Infidel says
vcragain
Show me one – ONE – Democrat who shares the concern about the threat of muslims/islam to western civilization. Problem was that even Republicans before Trump did a shoddy job in that department, which is one of the reasons Trump came in. Remember the San Bernardino massacre in 2015, when every presidential candidate was silent, and Donald Trump was the only one who stepped up and called for a moratorium on muslims ‘until we figure out what the hell is going on’? Sure, that proposal morphed into a travel ban that did far less than it should have (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia all should have been on that list!), but he was the only one who did anything about it
If you or Democrats or Republicans wanna make Trump irrelevant, do what Dick Morris did in the 90s for Bill Clinton: co-opt/hijack every one of his policy platforms and make it your own, and there won’t be such an appetite for Trump. Dick Morris did that in 1996, and Bob Dole was trounced in the elections as a result. Produce a Democrat candidate who’ll co-opt Trump’s policies, and you’ll have better luck being rid of Trump
gravenimage says
vcragain, I am liberal on many issues, but I voted for Trump in large part because of his stance against Jihad. Surely as an Anti-Jihadist yourself this is a concern for you? Biden’s giving money to the Mullahs and his overturning the “Muslim ban” on day one are not things you support, are they?
Eur says
jihad, conquest, subjugation of non-Muslims, implantation of a theocracy is a fundamental part of Islam. Islam is considered a religion and in our societies we accept religious freedom so we must assume what all this entails. We will suffer decades of attacks (and have to hear vicitmistic and supremacist slogans at the same time) to end in a civil war.
James Lincoln says
Can anti-jihadists also enjoy “academic freedom” at Rutgers University – now that a precedent has been set?

I’m sure not.

I posted something long yesterday here, but after hitting post comment, got this response:
So how much are we allowed to post in an hour/day/month/whatever?
gravenimage says
I get this message sometimes myself, Infidel. It literally just means slow down a bit. If you post two comments within seconds of each other (as I sometimes do if I have several windows open) then it cannot process them so quickly. But you can post dozens of posts an hour if you are so inclined–there is no limit.
Infidel says
Thanks, Gravenimage. It’s just that I composed a really long post yesterday and lost it b’cos somehow it thought I hit ‘Post comment’ twice in rapid succession. That’s why my post now on Bosch’s video was one I first composed in a separate text window, and then copied and pasted here, so that I don’t lose it
gravenimage says
That’s so frustrating, Infidel–I’ve had that happen. I always try to copy a comment to the clipboard (control-C) before posting, just in case there is a probem.
somehistory says
This site is not allowing me to “reply” to specific posters
I signed out, signed back in, out and in…like Hawkeye on M.A.S.H. when Burns was confined to quarters.
By tomorrow, this thread will be less traveled, so I’ll stop for tonight. I’m tired of being “errored” out and told to put my name and email.
To Infidel,
I agree with what you said to moi. I see a pattern to his comments.
To g,
Yes, he knows a lot about islam…quotes like he’s reading right from the book of filth as he types. But, when he attempts to apply Bible principles, or teachings, he falls way short of knowing it enough to do it justice. and his attacks on others is totally unnecessary and uncalled for. mortimer is not the moderator of this site, and implying that mo slums don’t deserve any kind of punishment….is much like ‘o’ and his condemnation of Christianity, but his adoration for all things islam. I see a pattern.
gravenimage says
Somehistory, each reply level indents, so this cannot go on indefinitely. After a certain level of replies–three indents, I think–you just have to note which poster you are replying to. This is not some kind of censorship, and you do not have to sign in or out.
As for error about name and email, I’ve run into this today as well–I wasn’t sure if it was just me. You can just refresh the page and post. But this *is* a problem–I’ll let JW tech guru Marc Louis know there is an issue.
(Actually, I ran into this again just now–god thing I copied this comment!)
As for Mortimer, I don’t agree that he is pro-Islam–but he definitely is often hypersensitive to those criticizing Muslims, which does seem terribly misguided to me.
somehistory says
2nd attempt….refresh did not help..
g,
It was not the issue you describe as I was the first one below the person to whom I wished to reply…no other persons had replied. i tried several replies on another thread, and none of them would go through.
As for “signing out and back in,” that is what Marc told me to do the last time I had the problem. I had tried everything else and asked him for help. He advised me to log out and back in and I did and it worked.
This time, however, it did not work.
Every time I wrote a comment…even without “replying” to anyone, it gave me the same error.
And our views on mortimer differ also. Not arguing with you, just letting you know.
gravenimage says
OK, Somehistory–sorry this did not help.
I let Marc Louis know about the problem and he says he will fix it.
As for Mortimer, i think we do agree with each other that some of his treatment of other Anti-Jihadists here is misguided at best.
