Mr. M R Bhasin has written a number of books on Islam and Hinduism. In the early part of 2007 he published a book entitled “ISLAM - A Concept of Political World Invasion by Muslims”. In March 2007 a group of 20 Muslims approached the Maharashtra government to ban the book. Immediately Maharashtra government banned the book denying the rights of a Hindu writer to express his view and document the atrocities of Muslim rule in India.
On April 5, 2007 police raided his residence at Colaba and have confiscated about 1000 copies of the book which was published in English and Hindi. The raid was conducted by the Marine Drive Police Station and lasted for nearly four hours, from 11.00 am till 3.00 pm, when Mr. Bhasin was away attending some court cases. The police raid and the confiscation of the book are the gross violation of fundamental right as well as freedom of speech. The Maharashtra government’s actions are nothing short of a totalitarian trampling of freedom of expression, nothing but the appeasement of Muslims for Vote bank politics, nothing but Congress government’s anti-Hindu policies.
Being as courageous as he is, Mr. Bhasin decided to file a PIL in the Mumbai High Court challenging the legality of the ban order and confiscation of the book. The case is being heard in the Mumbai High Court. As you may guessed many newspapers totally ignored the news item and did not publish the story.
It is time that all the Hindus stand up, get united and rally behind Mr. Bhasin in his lonely fight against the well organized Muslim Community and the Maharashtra government.
On be half of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, I spoke with Mr. Bhasin. He was very grateful for the call and appreciated the efforts of many Hindus who are calling him to give moral help. I also spoke to Mr. Eshwar Khandelwal of Right to Read Foundation (a sort of civil liberties union in India) who is helping him in the case before the Mumbai High Court.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
Please send emails expressing your support to the case filed in the High Court demanding the Maharashtra government:
1) To lift the ban of Mr. Bhasin’s book,
2) To return the confiscated books,
3) Demanding apology to Mr. Bhasin for trampling his freedom of speech
Also you can request Mr. Bhasin to send as many copies as you would like to distribute to all the Hindus and friends of freedom of speech. Every Hindu should read this book on “ISLAM - A Concept of Political World Invasion by Muslims”. It describe nearly ten centuries of the atrocities of Muslim rule in India and the passages that support the terror and violence. Even the judges in High court are surprised at the extent of cruelty the Muslims caused to Hindus.
Further, encourage all your friends in Mumbai to assist Mr. Bhasin and show strength by their mere physical presence in the court.
The case number in High Court is “Criminal Application Number 1421 of 2007.” The matter is before the full Bench of Mumbai High Court.
Please send your email to: lashkarehind06@yahoo.co.in as soon as possible. Your expression of outrage and demand for freedom of speech are crucial.
You may reach Eshwar Khandelwal of Right to Read Foundation (9820963189) or Mr. R. V. Bhasin (011-91-22- 22045054/ 22845004)
We all have the right to know what happened to our fore fathers during ten centuries of bloodiest, ruthless Muslim rule. We may be condemned to the similar atrocities if we do not learn from the history. All Hindu must wake up and defend Mr. Bhasin and the right to know the history of Muslim rule in India.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation was started about two years ago to preserve, protect and advance Hinduism. In order to preserve Hindu culture, every Hindu has a birth right to know the history. Let us all support Mr. Bhasin to defend the case successfully in High court to lift ban of the book so that it will be freely available to every body to read and be equipped with knowledge of the gruesome history of India during Muslim period. We will be able to preserve and protect Hinduism only if we are not denied our right to know the history.
