We have always said and sometimes it can be easily demonstrated that behind every human right / secularist or other type of bleeding heart lies a political motive. They consistently maintain that they condemn all human rights violations with the same fervor. Alas, their actions do not stand up to their claims. How do they get away with it? For one thing, they monopolize the opinion industry. For another, and there is a complex set of reasons behind this, they have usurped the international representation of Indian human rights. Ergo, when the US state dept. or various missionary fronts prepare their "religious freedom reports", who are their go to guys in India? A certain set of people.

The result is quite obvious. The groups that fall out of favor fall through the cracks. Human rights violations against Hindus that live as localized minority (WB, Assam, Kerala, pockets of TN/AP etc.), Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs are some examples that come to mind.

The brutally violent pogroms of 1984 against Sikhs was one such chapter that was closed and shoved under the carpet by our Human Rights wallahs, ironically to be opened about a couple of decades later. We know how the essays read, or the TV shows factor it in. We also condemn ... Their heart is not in it and it shows.

If they were true to their words, and if they really wanted to make it up for the victims, for the last two days you should have read, heard and seen only this everywhere:

Sikhs targeted  

As soon as the news of attack on Pawar reached NCP stronghold of Kolhapur and Satara, party workers staged demonstrations and called for a bandh. A Sikh youth, who was selling household utensils near the Kolhapur Municipal Corporation, was beaten up badly by NCP activists. However, he managed to save his life. In Satara, four trucks belonging to Sikhs were stoned.In Sangli, a bandh has been called on Friday. The activists stoned showrooms and vehicles. In Sangli, the activists burn the effigy of the attacker. 

In Nashik, hundreds of NCP activists came out on the streets in protest against the attack on Pawar. Rasta roko, tyre burning and stoning of vehicles were reported. [DNA India]

But you did not, unless you really tried. Excuses were issues, covering communal violence reports apparently fuel "anger". Isn't that nice? Coming from lead journalists whose channels have kept certain items on loop, for nearly a decade, 365/24/7? Or consider this anguished editorial by a leading journalist - how she completely glosses over the episode.

The fact of the matter is, there are no rules. There is a war out there, and they want to prevail. "Human Rights" is merely a propaganda tool, never really there when it is most needed.
