Popular nationalist senior journalist Rohit Sardana succumbed to Covid-19 last week. His sudden demise brought the nationalists in India to a standstill; millions broke down in tears as Twitter went abuzz with condolences pouring in from politicians, media personalities and fans. But there also came celebratory tweets, storms of laughter and piles of smile emojis gloating over the death of a man of 41, who left a mourning wife and two children behind.
But who would celebrate a death in a civilized society? Some Muslims could! Muslim politicians, youth leaders, journalists and activists celebrated the passing away of a lone nationalist journalist, and more so, that of a religious Hindu.
A popular columnist from a leftist media platform, Sharjeel Usmani, abused the deceased as a “pathological liar” and “genocide enabler,” and declared that Rohit Sardana shall not be remembered as a journalist. After receiving heavy flak from Sardana’s followers, Usmani’s supporters descended in large numbers, backing Usman on Twitter.
Mohammad Ibrar, a correspondent for India’s leading news daily, the Times of India, took to Twitter to assert: “Death doesn’t absolve crimes.” He insisted that Sardana had committed “crimes against humanity” and that his alleged misdeeds should be highlighted at this moment as well.
Another Muslim journalist who joined the rest in this shameless gloating over another journalist’s death was Zainab Sikander Siddiqui, who brazenly called Sardana a lapdog.
An “activist” and favorite of the leftist cabal, Zainab Sikander, who was arrested for her communal comments that allegedly incited riots in Delhi last year and is out on bail now, was also spotted rejoicing over the senior journalist’s untimely demise, and she penned some of the choicest profanities in his memory.
Imtiyaaz Hussain, a member of the Indian National Congress, a “youth icon” at that, expressed his gratitude to the Almighty for taking away Sardana. “There may be a delay, but there is no darkness in His world,” he tweeted, insinuating that this death was a sliver of sunshine.
Though we have recounted only a handful of tweets by eminent Muslim personalities, we witnessed all avenues of the virtual world brimming with hateful statements by Muslims cheering this death. There were groups made on Facebook only to throw a virtual party commemorating this misfortune. When people tried to report these groups and posts under Facebook’s “hate speech” rules, Facebook turned down the requests, stating that the content of these posts or groups did not go against their community standards.
Now one must believe that the late Rohit Sardana was a horrible human being completely bereft of human conscience. Why else would people be exhilarated by his departure from this world? No. Sardana was among the handful of nationalist journalists in Indian media and an ardent Hindu. These are two qualities that many Muslims and the liberal lobby abhor with a burning passion.
Sardana would take on anti-India forces and pro-Sharia Muslims on live TV debates, as no one else would. He was the only journalist in his league who brought the brutal murder of the three-year-old Hindu toddler Tinkle Sharma at the hands of her Muslim neighbors to the discussion table. In secular India, that is a taboo. You don’t question the wrongdoing committed by the “minority.”
Rohit questioned moviemakers who had repeatedly derided the Hindu faith and never dared present anything remotely critical of Islam. This made him the target of jihadis, who repeatedly threatened him of dire consequences.
An ardent religious nationalist, Sardana never called for the death of his ideological opponents or encouraged his followers to cast terror into anyone’s hearts. As social media personality Sonam Mahajan put it, “He never urged anyone to strike above anyone’s neck, Rohit never asked anyone to not take Christians or Jews as friends. Rohit didn’t spread hate, he stood up to hate.”
Hence, upon his demise, all the elements and factions of hate flocked together to have an open, unapologetic celebration. And this was not the first time some Muslims in India have danced on dead Hindu bodies.
Back in 2019, when a popular leader serving as the Minister of External Affairs of India, Sushma Swaraj, breathed her last, social media users using Muslim names had a virtual celebration. That Swaraj had cancelled her meetings after hearing of a terror attack on Muslim children in Peshawar, Pakistan, that she had rescued Indian Muslim men and women trapped in Pakistan, that she had rushed to the aid of Pakistani Muslim girls and children, couldn’t preclude these jihadis from leaving laughing emojis in the millions after her demise, all because she was a Hindu and a member of the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Indian Hindus were not surprised. They had witnessed such celebrations after the death of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as well. Vajpayee was another ardent Hindu, another committed nationalist. Celebrities and pop-culture figures were not spared, either, even if they had no political inclinations. Their deaths were applauded openly.
These people didn’t even shy away from chuckling when Islamic terrorist Adil Dar rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into an Indian army convoy, claiming 48 Bravehearts. Some Muslims in India were in high spirits, and Indians watched as a wave of elation flowed from social media users bearing names belonging to one particular demography.
India is a densely populated country, with 1.38 billion people brushing against each other. When some of the Hindus in India die, there are Muslims in the country who are just waiting to take to social media and revel in their deaths.

We’ve entered a new era where even the pretense of civility after someone dies is passed over. We saw it when Rush Limbaugh passed, and chances are that whenever any conservative passes, the Left will gloat. And note that these are not no-names on Twitter: they are blue checkmarks who are actually prominent people well known to the public. And in the above story, they even vandalized his Wiki page
Note that this wasn’t just muslims: ‘Hindu’ leftists too came to the party
Singh T. Junior says
Infidel, I am not sure about you pairing ‘Hindu’ leftists with islamists, but analogy with Rush Limbaugh is right on spot.
Infidel says
In India, as in everywhere else except China, the Left and Jihadists have always been close allies. And ‘Hindu’* Leftists have always been close allies both in Left Bengal as well as Kerala. Only good thing from yesterday’s election – both the Communists and the Congress are wiped out. Otherwise, you now have the Trinamul thugs rioting in celebration. (Amit Shah should have the governor cancel the swearing-in and put the state under army rule until all the thugs are put in jail out of that state)
Anyway, my point was that this ghoulish Leftist trend of celebrating the death of those they hate is something common to both the US and India at least, and maybe even to other countries
* I use the term ‘Hindu’ loosely to describe people w/ Hindu names, but whose real religion is Marxism and Secularism – the various 50 shades of it that are there in India. Unlike in the US, India doesn’t have the convention of only labeling actual believers as Hindus (unlike in the US where only believing/practicing Christians are labelled as Christians, while Atheists and Agnostics, even w/ Christian names, are counted separately), which makes the analysis a lot more complicated

Infidel, thank you for the explanation. I am sure their are some mentally retarded “hindus” but a strong generalization would be tainted with sample bias. The general principle is that islamists will always be anti-nationals, wherever they live, and left wingers will be in bed with them, until they get slaughtered. The left behaves like R.M. Renfield’s character in Bram Stroker’s Dracula (1897), expecting some benefits from the Count in return for his “loyalty.” Count kills him eventually.

Here’s this grim story:
“‘Liberals’ always dehumanise their opponents: Did it surprise you that liberals celebrated the passing of Rohit Sardana?”
https://www.opindia.com/2021/05/did-it-surprise-you-that-liberals-celebrated-the-death-of-rohit-sardana/
Of course, these are not real liberals.
Infidel says
Yeah, the difference b/w traditional, classical Liberals vs genuine, Marxist-Maoist Leftists is something much more pronounced these days, as noted by Liberals like Alan Derschowitz, Dave Rubin, Glen Greenwald, and others. OpIndia I think misses that distinction, even though a lot of Indian former Liberals are now w/ the Hindutva crowd

Very true. Infidel.
Raja says
The odious hatred of all-things-kafir, including kafir by Muslims has no bounds. How is the mentally incapacitated world so sure that vast number of these elements do not form part of jihad. There are so many dimwitted Kafirs who come to the “rescue” of Islam by claiming it is peaceful but for a few radical blah blah blah
One wise guy in JW says repeatedly that we are in interesting times. True, but aren’t we also in perilous times because the elites of the powerful West have not cared enough to eradicate the scourge of Islam.

India: Muslims from all walks of life flock gloat over Hindu journalist’s death
……………
Just appalling–but no surprise. This is disgusting.
I seldom celebrate any death–even of those I may have serious disagreements with.
Infidel says
Yeah, this is a new trend that seems to have started in 2020, although the OpIndia story suggests that it started even earlier
Autar KRISHEN Gurtoo says
Kafir hatred is ever present in SLIMEY MUSLIMS. USUALLY Concealed under a veneer of civility, a la TAQIYYA, blatant deception falsehood, ALL OUT WAR IN DAR-UL-HARB, WAR ZONE.. DECEPTION IN EVERYTHING. ISLAM IS A SCOURGE, MUST BE ERADICATED, EVEN FROM ITS SOURCE, NO POINT IN BEATING AROUND THE BUSH… HIROSHIMA MOMENT AGAIN……. WILL THE CIVILISED WORLD WAKE UP…..
Giacomo Latta says
Something akin to do with this just happened in Canada where government-run media produced an article on the death of a woman who had died from COVID-19 after complaining that government reaction to it was overblown. The tone was one of gaiety.

mozlums are truly demonic and disgusting. And oh, so very, very wrong in their belief. And that is no wonder as their ‘god’ and their ‘prophet’ are demon snakes.
The Bible makes things clear, that it is wrong even to “rejoice” over the death of the “wicked,” and since this man can only be judged in that respect by God, it is to be reckoned by what is written here, he was not “wicked.” Sinful as are all humans.
and that brings another point…the mozlum who said that the man’s ‘sins’ are” not absolved by death,” he is a liar and very much in error with that statement.
Proverbs 24:17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls;
when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice,
18 or the Lord will see and disapprove
and turn his wrath away from them.
Romans 6:23 “For the wages sin pays is death”
mozlums are despicable, demonic, devilish….and the world will totally rejoice when islam has been cast into the “lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Anyone who willingly breaks God’s Laws will also end up in that lake.
OLD GUY says
YEP NO such thing as a moderate muslim/islamic follower.
