malaysia:do not mix fantasy and politics

By Kulamarva Balakrishna

Vienna,Monday,December 10,2007: I have to date got no answer to my notice
sent to Mr.Tarun Vijay, the Editor in Chief of Panchajanya, the official weekly of
the RSS/BJP right and the The Times of India columnist to beat the drums of
the right in India.Never mind.I know his activities.He had been fishing in troubled
waters.He had gone to Malaysia for mobilizing finances for the right in India a
well as kindling fire within Malaysia in the name of Hindu minorities.I hold no brief
to defend Badawi´s religious apartheid government.I do not support separatist
political policies from national governments who are part of the larger global
human brother hood.The 21st Century may be named Mandela Century.Apartheid
ended with the release of Nelson Mandela and the empowerment of South African people.Religious or sexual segregation/apartheid should not be allowed to replace
the abolished color segregation.By its segregation policies Malaysia is harming
itself.Already its inadequate policies to protect tropical forests has angered the
world.United Nations Conference on Climatic Change now meeting in Bali,Indonesia
has heard reports of the consequences.Among the would be refugees on account
of climatic change,Malaysians are included.Malaysia needs the co-operation of all
its people including the Malays,Indians,Chinese and other ethnic minorities living
there should work together for a single goal of protecting its rich natural resources
for future generations.By widening ethnic divisions the country can not hope to
advance towards that goal.

That apart,Indian community living there is well advised to make non-issues into
issues. It should learn to live there in harmony with the majority and other minority
communities.There is no point taking the failed =land of the pure= route.It should
not expect to live in Malaysia and play Indian internal politics.Nor expect India like
Saudi Arabia export or donate Hindu temples.When Rajiv Gandhi as Prime Minister,
within six minutes arranged the air drop of food grains for the Tamil Hindus in Sri
Lanka, what India got in return is terrorist suicide belt bomb!Tarun Vijay and his
rightist dark monsters are doing their best to hurt not only India´s national unity but
also South and South East Asian regional security.Weaning away emotional Tamils
from the Indian ruling alliance by interfering in a foreign domain needs to be
condemned in strongest terms from all quarters.The time for Malaysian tiny
political leaders copying the Kingdom of Unholy Places or drawing support from
the outdated Organization of Islamic Countries has passed on 11/9/2001.The earlier
the political leadership of Malaysia realizes this fact is better for that country
and the region as a whole.Prime Minister Badawi,you are not expected to dictate
the emotional freedom of Malay girls,Muslims or non-Muslims.Do not steal the
individual rights of Malay population.Malay government has no right to approve or
disapprove the love of a Malay girl.

Ignorance is total darkness.If in Malaysia Hindus live they should learn from Hindu
Upanishadic slogan =tamaso ma jyotirgamaya=,meaning take me from darkness
to light.But in the Malaysian context,Hindus can not run away to India as Vipassana
Goenka did from Myanmar,decades ago to make billions.He came to India with one
technic of Terawada Buddhism.Not that it was not here but as he lived in Burma he
picked it up there.Otherwise,we should remember,Burma´s first Prime Minister U.Nu
came to India searching exactly what Goenka brought with him from a jungle monk of Burma/myanmar.That is, he came with light.Malaysian Hindus need light there where
they live.They need good education.If ignorance is darkness, knowledge is light.That
is what Malaysian Hindus need not temples.They should not let themselves to be led
by Tarun Vijay into the darker cave dungeons of Malaysia.India and neighboring
South Asian countries are over populated.Now in this era of globalisation,it is also
not wise to immobilize populations within small national boundaries.We have to learn
to live sane.If the Hindu population of Malaysia have anything better to teach India that
is another matter.They reached there as uneducated emigrant workers looking for
livelihood.They are Hindus only on the surface.Do make no mistake on that.

It is unfortunate they are gullible and being misused by superficial Hindus like Tarun
Vijay and his uncle L.K.Advani,their =langoti monkey= Bajrangabali forces.Can
Tarun Vijay show one evidence that Hanuman tied a wrestler´s belt?Wielded a golden
or brass club as shown in Ramlilas? It is described in Ramayana by Valmiki that
when Angada,the son of monkey leader Sugriva, was sent as the Ambassador of
Rama to Sri Lanka, the brahmin monster king, Ravana did not offer him a seat.Angada,
then coiled his long hanging tail into a chair.After seating on it he communicated with
the Sri Lankan king.The monkey forces fought with fists and branches of trees.
Hanuman´s tail was set on fire after binding it with oily cloth.The monkey used it as
torch to set fire the wonderful city,a Disneyland of the time.Tarun Vijay should know
that it is easier to make a man like a monkey than convert a monkey into a man.
It is true Valmiki described as Hanuman having the capacity to be minutest like atom
and largest to be like Himalayan mountains.It should be taken on the same light as
Vulture Jatayu was presented when he confronted Ravana as the brahmin monster
was abducting her.If he opens his eyes to see the light he will come closer to realities.

This lesson is also good for film writer Tiru Karunanidhi.Creative work is the result of
imaginative fantasies.But he should not go mixing politics with his wild creative fantasies.
Please avoid fantasies in politics.Do not get mixed up Mr.Karunanidhi.(end)
