Tamil Nadu in the grip of Jihad - XIV
by Thamizhchelvan on 13 Oct 2016 1 Comment

While the district of Ramanathapuram has become a hotbed for jihadi activities with a Muslim population of 20 per cent and being a fertile ground for all Islamic fundamentalist organisations, other districts of Tamil Nadu are not far behind. Some like Dindukkal, Vellore, and Thirunelveli follow Ramanathapuram closely, with others catching up. The Hindu Munnani documentary depicts the jihadi activities taking place in 19 other districts as well.

 

Dindukkal

 

In the Muslim-dominated Begampur area of Dindukkal, it is reported that no procession, whether a temple festival procession or funeral procession, is allowed to pass by the mosque. This mosque was built by Hyder Ali and has, since 1952, been serving as headquarters for the fundamentalist Tablighi Jamaat, a proselytizing and revivalist movement. The documentary asserts that this mosque has become a safe haven for fundamentalists and their activities. 

 

Besides restricting processions, they do not allow even electoral campaigns in the area. On 18 April 2014, cadres of actor Vijayakanth’s DMDK were restricted from campaigning and were attacked when they persisted. The local inspector justified this, saying that the party cadres should not have come to the ‘prohibited area’. The police cannot take any kind of action against the community either for a traffic offence or a petty crime as the police station would be besieged by hundreds of Muslims protesting against the action.

 

The documentary asserts that conversions and love jihad are happening in Dindukkal. The brother of a girl who was converted through love jihad has testified in the documentary. A local BJP leader also testifies about the proselytizing activities of fundamentalist organisations, which run centers (“Arivagam”) for the purpose. Exclusive centres for women are also there. The documentary says that most of the cell phone service centers are owned by fundamentalists, who tacitly provide the numbers of Hindu girls to jihadis, Muslim auto drivers provide details of movement of Hindu girls. 

 

Three years ago, when the Tamil Nadu government announced that it would construct a memorial for Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan as ‘freedom fighters’, members of Hindu Munnani protested and conducted a sustained and successful campaign against it. The Dindukkal Hindus overwhelmingly supported the campaign leading to government dropping the idea of constructing the memorial on public land. During that campaign police filed cases against Hindu Munnani cadres for pasting posters in the town. But when posters appeared against the Hindu Munnani, the police refrained from filing cases and removed the posters themselves, as shown in the documentary.

 

The documentary says that several mosques have come up on all the bypass roads leading to Dindukkal and most have become save havens for fundamentalists and their activities. Today, Dindukkal town is literally under jihadi siege. Mohammed Haneefa alias ‘Tenkasi’ Haneefa, an accused in a case pertaining to placing of pipe bombs along the route of BJP leader L.K. Advani’s rath yatra in 2011, was arrested when hiding in a mosque in Vathalagundu near Dindukkal.

 

Palani, sacred abode of Lord Murugan, is in Dindukkal district. Fundamentalists have encroached upon the footpath (taking shops on lease and sublease) leading to the hill shrine and indulged in sacrilegious and immoral activities. Finally the local Hindus had to file court cases leading to the court ordering the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowment department to clear the footpath leading to the shrine of encroachments. Senthil, who belongs to the organisation which filed the case, testifies in detail in the documentary.

 

Islamic fundamentalism has raised its head in places such as Sithaiyan Kottai, Aathoor, Aiyyampaalayam, Vathala Kundu, Nilakkottai, Chinnalappatti, Kodaikanal, Pazhani, Neykarapatti, Kalayamputhur, Aayakudi, Chathirapatti, Viruppaachi, Oddanchathiram, Kallimandayam, Kannivaadi, Sriramapuram, Vedasandur, Vadamadurai, Ayyalur, Kovilur, Kujiliyampaarai, Natham, Vempaarpatti, Gopalpatti, Sendhurai, Keeranoor, Maanoor, Balasamuthiram in Dindukkal district.

 

Sivaganga

 

Amidst several jihadi incidents, the documentary notes two specific issues in Sivaganga district. In the aftermath of the murder of Dr. Arvind Reddy in Vellore in 2012, the BJP organized a protest meeting at Illayangudi. Senior BJP leader and national general secretary H. Raja was addressing the gathering, condemning the effete police and the MLA Jawahirullah, when hundreds of fundamentalists belonging to TMMK pelted stones and threatened the leader and other functionaries. The meeting came to an abrupt end and the police simply registered cases against ‘unknown persons’ and allowed the case die a natural death. H. Raja explains the incident in detail in the documentary.

 

In another place called Piranmalai, extremists have been making bombs from a secret location in a nearby hill for years. A series of incidents have happened in Madurai in the last few years, though on a small scale, with bombs procured from this Piranmalai, which, due to police indifference, has become a den for terrorism.

 

Thanjavur

 

In April 2014, Muruganandam, the BJP candidate for the Lok Sabha, was targeted by a mob while campaigning at Mallipattinam in Thanjavur district. When Muslims objected to his campaigning in the locality dominated by them, Muruganandam asserted his democratic right as a candidate and tried to continue campaigning. However, he and his party men were attacked. The police came and forced Muruganandam to leave the place. In the meantime, the jihadis, who indulged in violence, took refuge in a nearby mosque. The documentary shows the entire incident, at the end of which police were seen begging the jihadis to come out. They finally took a few jihadis sent by the leaders in the mosque for filing cases. Muruganandam explains the incident in detail in the documentary.

 

Conversion is also rampant in the district and the documentary details the conversion of four women (Lokeswari, Ambika, Sharmila and Kalaichelvi of Pasupathi Kovil area) and how they were separated from their families.  

 

Thiruvarur

 

Muthupettai in Thiruvarur district is a den of Islamic fundamentalism. In December 2013, police caught hold of a drone that fell in a residential area, which belonged to one Thameem. It has the capacity to capture images in a periphery of 200 meters and record voices. A camera was also fitted in it. Yet, the police returned the drone to him terming it a play toy. The documentary questions this action as Muthupettai is notorious for jihadi activities and many smuggling activities are going on in the nearby coastal areas.     

 

Nagapattinam

 

Nagapattinam is another coastal district fast catching up with Ramanathapuram in terms of Islamic fundamentalism. In a government-aided Muslim educational institution, Gavudhiya Higher Secondary School, a Hindu teacher, Selvaraj, was sent to prison on false charges of sexual harassment for being a supporter of Narendra Modi as the Prime ministerial candidate. Although the school management is aware of the truth, it was helpless due to the pressure exerted by the local MLA Nizamudhin.

 

The documentary describes the rampant conversions going on in Nagore and Nagapattinam. Hindu youth, both male and female, working in textile shops and mobile service outlets, which are mostly owned by Muslims, are extremely vulnerable to conversions. Most of these workers belong to the Scheduled Castes and are converted easily by threat and enticements. The documentary, citing the family of one Shanthi as example, asserts that more than 30 youth have been converted in Nagore alone and the organisation behind this is Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath.

 

The documentary also talks about secret terror training camps in Nagore. It cites a grove behind a restaurant called ‘Nice Hotel’ which allegedly serves as a den for fundamentalists. It shows various other incidents such as disruption of Hindu festivals, demeaning of Hindu Gods, encroachment of temple lands, etc., happening widely in Nagapattinam district, which is very fertile ground for fundamentalist organisations like PFI, TMMK and Thowheed Jamath.

 

Karaikkal

 

Karaikkal, a town close to Nagore, is a part of the Union Territory of Pondicherry. When Al Umma was banned in Tamil Nadu for indulging in terrorist activities, including the RSS office bomb blasts and Coimbatore serial bomb blasts, the Pondicherry government refrained from banning it. This helped the organisation to create a den out of Karaikkal. So, Karaikkal, despite a low density Muslim population, served as a safe haven for the fundamentalist elements of nearby Tamil Nadu towns.

 

Here also Love jihad and subsequent conversion are rampant. Properties are being bought by Muslims on a large scale and obstruction of temple festivals and processions are widespread.

 

Cuddalore

 

Parangipettai, a coastal town in Cuddalore district is another jihadi den. Gul Mohammed Maraikair (37) of Parangipettai was deported by Singapore when found influencing the Muslim youth there to join ISIS by giving them jihadi literature. He was also instrumental in influencing and sending one Fakrudheen from Singapore to Syria in July 2014. Fakrudheen, of Parangipettai, was working in Singapore while his parents are still in Cuddalore. He went to Syria directly from Singapore along with his family and is fighting for ISIS now.

 

One Ashraf Ali, an Indian Mujahideen operative from Rajasthan, was hiding here for a while before he was arrested by Rajasthan’s anti-terror squad in July 2014. Another resident of Parangipettai, Qutbuddhin, was picked up by the state police in connection with the murder of Hindu Munnani leader Suresh from Ambattur, Chennai.

 

When Tamil separatist actor, Seeman, president of ‘Naam Thamizhar Party.’ organized a public meeting in Cuddalore in support of LTTE and its late leader Prabhakaran, he had brought in Kashmiri separatist, Yasin Malik, to address the gathering in May 2013. The documentary shows Parangipettai as a breeding ground for jihadi terror.

 

Kanchipuram

 

Kanchipuram district, which is close to Chennai, has pockets of Islamic fundamentalism. Tambaram is one such pocket, where the TMMK is very strong. The organisation launched its political party, Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK), here. The Tambaram market is dominated by fundamentalists who are creating all sorts of problems for Hindu traders; the documentary describes some incidents.

 

Similarly, Madippakkam is another area where jihad is on the rise. Encroachments and illegal constructions are going on by jihadis. Yakub, district president of TMMK, was involved in attacking the US Consulate in Chennai during protests against the film ‘Innocence of Muslims’.

 

Vellore

 

Vellore district’s two towns, Ambur and Vaniyambadi, is another hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. With the support of a Dalit party, Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi, they fundamentalists attempted to convert a building near the famous Jalakandeswarar Temple inside Vellore Fort as a mosque. The Communists supported the move, but Hindus thwarted the move by forcing the authorities to act.

 

In a place called Sathuvachari, the fundamentalist attempted to encroach government land and build a mosque there. This move was also thwarted by Hindu Munnani.

 

When the Tamil daily, Dinamalar, carried a news item regarding the famous ‘Danish Cartoons’ episode, thousands of Muslims laid siege at its office and the daily was forced to apologise and express regret in the following issue.

 

When the Railway Police intercepted and apprehended some suspects taking 52 children from West Bengal and Bihar by train at Katpadi Junction for interrogation, hundreds of fundamentalists gathered at the railway station to protest. Inquiries revealed that the children were being taken to a madrassa in Kerala. Officials from the Children Welfare Committee came and conducted further enquiry. As more fundamentalists started gathering at the station, the State’s Reserve Police intervened and arranged for special compartments and sent the children and the caretakers to Kerala by another train. However, the Children Welfare Committee officials were helpless and regretted the release of the children who were transported without valid documents by the caretakers. Both the Police and Child Welfare Board appeared impotent.

 

Following the successive murders of BJP leader Dr. Aravind Reddy and Hindu Munnani leader Vellaiyappan, the functionaries of both the organisations have become vulnerable. As the Police have been found wanting, especially after the infamous Ambur riots, Islamic aggression continues unabated in the district.  

 

Chennai

 

In December 2012, Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath distributed handbills denigrating Hindu saint Vadalur Ramalinga Vallalar. When Hindu Munnani lodged a complaint with the Triplicane Police, they refrained from taking any action.

 

Mannady is notorious for jihadi activities. On 23 February 2014, jihadis molested a Hindu girl and assaulted her brother as well. When the city Hindu Munani secretary Elango went to the local police station to lodge a complaint against the jihadis, his car was attacked and he was threatened. The police, instead of taking action against the jihadis, pleaded to Elango not to aggravate matters. Elango has given a detailed description of the incident in the documentary. The Police filed a petty case under Section 75 against the jihadis, so that they can get out with just a nominal fine. 

 

In January 2014, jihadis attempted a murderous assault on Sri Vedantam, former International Working President of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, when he was going to Washermanpet to inaugurate a few local units of VHP. He explains the inaction of police in the matter, in the documentary.

 

Jihadis attempted to unleash terror at the Hindu Spiritual and Service Fair in 2014. Apprehended students, who intruded at the fair, were in possession of stall details, international debit cards, mobile SIM cards of other States, etc. The cadres of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath immediately assembled near the vicinity of the fair and protested against the arrest of the three jihadi students.   

 

The Hindu Munnani office at Chintadripet has been receiving ‘threat letters’ quite often, and till date the police could not find out the culprits and solve a single case. The threats varied from threatening to liquidate the leaders of Hindu organisations to demolition of temples by bombs. 

 

The documentary shows a clipping wherein, Jainulabdheen, President of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath, openly says that his organisation threw bombs at cinema director Maniratnam’s house (for showing Kashmiri terrorists in his film, Roja) and threatened Kamalhasan. Till date the Police have not taken any action against him.  

 

Chennai city has borne the brunt of Islamic aggression (protests against movies such as Innocence of Muslims, Vishwaroopam, Thuppakki)  many times. Assaults and murders have also been committed by jihadis in Chennai and the city continues to be vulnerable.

 

Other districts

 

The documentary also describes jihadi activities in other districts such as Vizhupuram, Thirunelveli, Theni, Madurai,   Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Kanyakumari, Thoothukudi, etc. It describes in detail activities such as murders, assaults, love jihad, conversions and training centers (‘Arivagam’), encroachments of temple and public lands, besieging police stations and media houses, obstructing Hindu festivals and processions, unchecked construction of mosques disproportionate to their population, indulged in by jihadis. Arivagam claims to have converted and trained thousands of youth. 

 

The documentary lists 26 organisations which indulge in all kinds of fundamentalist activities in the State. It establishes how the Government is pandering to jihadis by a policy of appeasement, and how the State Police have become ineffective and inefficient due to the policy of the Government.

I am surprised that Haranji has failed to provide the comic element in this black tragedy. The Tamil Nadu BJP, like the lawyers of the Madras High Court, is vertically split into two - BJP DMK and BJP AIADMK. The non-aligned BJP is of no consequence anywhere in any quarters. And when you consider the pathetic state of all important Hindu organizations in TN without exception, then there is no surprise in the growing ascendancy of Islam and the Church.

Tamil Nadu just has to wait for life to take its own course until it ends in the two major poltical parties. Hopefully this may see a certain disintegration of both parties but that space will be filled by the dregs of the LTTE, Veerappan's gangsters and subterranean naxalites. They will then decide who will rule Tamil Nadu. They may even redraw the state's borders. Of course as this scenario unfolds we will see the Church and Islam watching the events closely and actively influencing the course of events. Hidnus of course will be sleeping peacefully as the world moves on.

BJP, RSS & VHP NETAS: -- It is time to take on Karuna and Jayalalitha now. Draw a development programme, a media campaign, and expose their rules. Tell people what you did in Gujarat,Bihar, MP,Chathisgarh,Uttrakhand etc. Recruit young men and women from all strata of society. With a concerted effort,well planned- a whole lot can be achieved.

Radha Rajan,regardless of all this around the clock false propaganda against Islam/Muslims the Islam is rising once again.This is what scaring all the Islam haters.70 years of iron fisted rule of the Russian empire on the Muslim republics was not able to extinguish the flame of love for Islam in the people's heart,it came back with vengeance as soon as the Russians left.They persecuted any one even mentioning the word Islam,people were executed just if found reading Quran,they made it illegal to possess even a copy of Holy Quran in their houses.After 9/11 the best selling book was Quran in Europe and USA,in USA alone each year 30,000+ Americans (Black,White and Hispanics) are voluntarily reverting back to Islam and irony is that 50% of them are women......do you know why?Did you ever pay attention to the fact that the so called "forcefull" conversion of Hindus to Islam by the "barbarian " Muslims holds no credible ground,if they were forced to do that then after all these years (63 to be exact) why they did not go back to the religion of their forefathers as there were no "barbarians" to be afraid of,so what is holding them back? Can you explain it me that why Indonesia,Malayasia,China and even Phillipines (before the Spanish inquisition was predominently Muslim) have overwhelming Muslim population,does any body recalls of any Muslim armada or army attacking those lands as widely propagated for India?So your concern about this so called "growing ascendancy of Islam and the Church" holds no moral/logical grounds,if there is a problem then try to find it with in what you have at the moment,stirring up this hysteria against others is not going to help your cause,if you love Hinduism it is fine to praise or propagate it and no one should have any problems with that but when you blame others for your own ills then that becomes a problem for all!With best regards.

There is plenty of self identification needed in everybody’s life cycle. Some of the identifications are subject to change based on the way one leads his own life. But certain identifications are not changeable and it is permanent like nationality, religion, region , regional language or mother tongue. That is why Hindus in India called these things with mother prefix. If any body changing this means he is ready to sell his mother. Undoubtedly these mother sellers are enemies of society and nation.

It is a curse that initially Mr.MKG started appeasement of Muslim community and the disease slowly spread to other Congress leader and subsequently extended to regional parties. In the recent time the so called self respect Dravidian parties started appeasing the minorities beyond tolerable limits simply to capture their vote bank and ready to surrender their entire mother prefix. They are neither a true Dravidian not a true Tamilian. They are neither a true Hindu nor a true Indian. In total all the parties who appease the minorities and spoiling the unity of majority are selfish to the core and parasites in society.

Why shri.mohandas karamchand gandhi shall be singled out. The disease percolated through pandit jawaharlal nehru through the instrument of transfer of power which pandat nehru signed with mt. betan. Swami Ramdev is telling this in village after village that Hindustan although sent away angrezis on 15sth August 1947, continue to be angrez by way of its current education, governance, politics and what not. Perhaps what has not changed largely even after 1000 years of barbaric islamic rule by temple demolishers like babar and and hundrdeds of year of rule by inquistionists belonging to the white church in Hindustan is that against all their sadistic and cunning tactics they are not able to conquer completely the land of Hindus. But they never tire. But the jihadist and inquisitionists are like shumb and nishumb. A third force is not required to cleanse them. they would vanish by mutual hatred which is congential Abrahmic defect.

If temple demolishers are Barbaric!! wat should we call the people and the concept of suppressing fellow human beings. There is no stupidity than discrimination in scales of birth. Be it America , be it Europe , be if Africa, Be it India discrimination is the height of stupidity.

The so called "Hindu" tradition , and whats is now named Aryan philosophies helped the dump Caste-hindus to safeguard their generations with infusing fear of religion on others.

My question to the caste Hindus is, if your famed scriptures talk about caste division and when the scripture is for the caste hindus.. How come you come out and call my fellow brothers kshatriyas and shudras. And point me were in the vedas there are classifications like this..


If any of you dumpos who have marked some anti-conversion quote above. Have you not read anythng about the amount of supresison caste-hindus have did.

Now dont try to be a caste-hindu , and close your eyes to the inhumane things done.

Shame is even now Caste-hindus exist. Im not blaming people who are rational. I accusing ppl who still are dogmatic fundamentalist and want every one to practice what they believe in.

They hail vivekanada But "Imitaiton of Jesus " that he always carried in his hand and took inspiration for spiritual like looks alien to caste-hindus.

The attitude of caste-hindus towards my fellow citizens of India has even provoked them at times to behave exactly like them.


Im not here to educate any dumpos.. but jus to remind the fundamentalists to have some heart. be a human . know that every human being has the right to choose his path.
