then it can only mean an insult added to injury. But if it is made to serve as
a tentative measure with powers, more or less equal to a Federal Board of
Ministers, is entrusted without reservation with matters concerning Indian
defence during the war time and if its advice carried into effect as that of a
responsible Council of Ministers, it may prove a step in advance on the line
of political progress. But much will still depend on its composition. The
Hindu Mahasabha must secure such a representation on it as is in keeping
with the proportion to population of the Hindus!

Moslem Chinaman: Hidden Motive of Chinese
Moslem Mission to India
The following statement is issued by Barrister V. D. Savarkar, the
President of the Hindu Mahasabha, in connection with the Chinese Moslem
Mission to India:
We had no mind to give expression to the details, which point beyond
doubt to well-concerted activities on the part of the Indian Moslems to
inject the Chinese Moslems too with the Pakistani virus, while the Chinese
Moslem Mission led by Mr. Woo was in India on behalf of our friendly
neighbour China. But the Moslem Mission is grievously transgressing its
national and friendly task and has, in its message recently sent to the
Moslems at Nellore, been guilty of betraying anti-Hindu tendency. It has,
consequently, forfeited the right of a national hospitality on the part of the
Hindus and I feel myself quite justified in exposing the real nature of the
movement, so that Hindudom may be warned of the dire consequences,
which must result, if it is not watched, opposed and checked in time.
Burma Lesson
A couple of years ago, I had issued a statement warning the Burmese that
there was growing rapidly a hybrid Moslem population in Burma, which
would in near future constitute a similar danger to the homogeneity of the
Burmese people, as it did in the case of India. The Moslems used to marry
Burmese girls in large numbers for at least a century in the past and were
very particular in bringing up their progeny as Moslems, while no Moslem
would, as a rule, give his girl in marriage to a Burmese. The easy-go-lucky
Burmese hardly suspected political danger out of such designed social
relations. But soon after that, the Burmo-Moslem riots, miscalled the Indo-
Burmese riots, started. The Moslems paid a heavy price for their mischief
and the eyes of the Burmese got opened. Just then, the Japanese invasion
took place and held all such questions in suspension.
China Follows Suit
Next to Burma comes China. The Moslem population there is to be
counted in crores. China was once ruled by the Tartars, and when the
Tartars embraced Islam, these Moslems made China their home and for a
short period, even looked upon themselves as a ruling class. But the great
Buddhistic Empire, which rose on the ashes of the Tartars, showed the
Moslems their right place and they were more or less thoroughly reduced to

unquestioning subjection. But the fall of the Chinese Empire, the Japanese
conquest of the large portions of the Chinese territories and the
simultaneous rise and spread of the pan-Islamic movement about the time
of the last great European war stirred up the Moslems in China too, with the
consciousness which was latent in all Moslems through the Koranic
teaching itself of being a separate entity unallied with and even antagonistic
to, anyone else, who did not believe Koran and especially the Hindus,
including Buddhists. We know how the Moslems bore a special hatred to
and massacred the Buddhists on their way to India and how the word
Buddha prashasti, which means, in fact, the worship of the Lord Buddha,
had come to mean the greatest sin man can commit in the Moslem eyes.
The Chinese Moslem Federation was formed and a large section of the
Chinese Moslems refused to merge themselves with the Chinese, but
maintained that they should keep up their separate entity and even a
political brotherhood.
The Marshal’s Fable
We have great respect for Marshal Chiang Kai Sheik as a doughty warrior
and a farsighted statesman. But that is the very reason why he could not but
tell us the fairy tale that in China they were all Chinese first and last and in
politics there was no clash between the Buddhists and the Moslems. But in
face of facts we cannot but take this statement of the Great Marshal with a
pinch of salt. Was it not only a couple of years ago that a batch of young
Chinese Moslems was sent to Turkasthan and Egypt to get themselves
initiated into pan-Islamic mysteries and who, on reaching Bombay, sought
the interviews of Mr. Jinnah and other Leaguers, discarded their National
Chinese dress and paraded their newly-bought fez caps as an insignia of a
new order? This present mission, led by Mr. Woo, is a far more significant
step on the part of the Chinese Moslems and is primarily meant and was
perhaps invited by the Indian Moslem Leaguers themselves to establish a
closer pan-Islamic contact. They have chosen to interview the leading lights
of the Pakistani movement including the Nizam, and they are already
emboldened to talk such trash as that they would not fail to help their Islamic
brothers in India after the war is over. But are they sure whether they
themselves would be in a helping or a helpless position at the end of this
war? A covenant between the sparrows and the rabbits to defeat the eagle has
no sense so long as the eagle dominates the field. Again, what kind of help

and against whom are these Chinese Moslems going to render to the Islamic
brothers in India after the war? Against the Hindus and to prop up Pakistan?
The appointment of Sir Mohomed Zaffarulla Khan as Indian Agent
General in China under such circumstances bodes nothing but evil. He may
represent the pan-Islamic or Pakistani principles there as every dutiful
Moslem is expected to do.
A Mere Dream!
The Indian Moslems, who want to carve out a Western Pakistan from
Delhi to the Tribal regions, have openly declared more than once that they
would depend upon their co-religionists outside India from Afganistan to
Turkey. But they could not indulge in any such airy nothings, regarding the
support for their Eastern Pakistan to be constituted out of Bengal and
Assam. That is why they are trying desperately to forge a pan-Islamic line
between the Burmese and the Chinese Moslem groups and now that the
Chinese Moslems have promised them help after the war on the Eastern
side, they may very well build castles in the air hoping thereby to frighten
the Hindus in the East, too.
If that be so, I can only remind them that the Hindus have also some
trump cards in their hand. If it is feasible for the Indian Moslems to have a
united Chinese Moslem front on the East, whether cultural or political, then
it is at least as feasible, if not more, for the Hindus to have a united Hindu-
Buddhist front from Jammu to Japan. Just as the frog cannot but remain a
frog even if she jumps into the sea, so also the hopeless Indian Moslem
minority can never grow into a dominating majority, even if Mr. Woo woos
them with all the Chinese Moslems.

Gandhi-Jinnah Negotiations (September 29,
1944)
Emphasising that the proposal to vivisect India had assumed ‘a far more
dangerous aspect today when the Gandhi-Jinnah talks are adjourned than it
had on the day when the talks began’, Mr. V.D. Savarkar, President of the
Hindu Mahasabha, in a statement, appeals to all those opposed to the
partitioning of the country to support the Akhand Hindusthan Leaders’
Conference to be held at Delhi on October 7 and 8.
Mr. Savarkar says: Mr. Jinnah demands vivisection of India even more
relentlessly than before. Gandhiji wants to placate that intolerable demand
even more relentlessly than before. The Moslems are openly claiming that
they have nothing to do with the so-called Indian nation, that they are a
different nation by themselves and that they want to cut off as many
provinces of India as possible, utilise them as a territorial base to rear up an
anti-Hindu Moslem state quite independent of any central Indian
Government. Gandhiji, who confidently asserts in getting the Congress to
support him, is ready to hand over, at any rate, four frontier provinces,
which form the natural and invulnerable Himalayan borderline of our
Motherland, to the Moslems for the above treacherous objective, for the
mere asking of it without firing a shot.
The tragedy of it all is that the ‘Indian National Congress’, which was
ushered into existence to consolidate the Indian nation, has itself betrayed
its sole mission. The very justification of its existence and falling a victim
to the pseudo-nationalistic malady, had dealt the unkindest cut of all at the
‘Indian national integrity. The Indian National Congress itself is indulging
in treacherous conspiracies to vivisect the oneness of that Indian nation so
as to wipe out the very name of India from the map of the world.
When Gandhiji started from Wardha by ‘the Pakistani train’ almost in a
triumphal mood, he left orders behind to the country or to the Congress at
any rate to keep peace, to have complete confidence in him and not to
criticise the Gandhi-Rajaji proposal while his talks with Jinnah continued to
find out a way to Hindu-Moslem unity on the basis of handing over to them
some of the holiest and cherished parts of India and acknowledging their
right to form a separate and sovereign state there.
This trick, in fact, was so transparent that it was not likely to dupe any
sensible politician. What reliance could there be on the assurance of a

leader like Gandhiji, who only the other day, asserted that vivisection was a
sin and is today supporting Rajaji’s Pakistani proposals. Only those
Congressites and some other leaders among the Hindus, who had grown in
the habit of accepting any Gandhist ‘mumbo-jumbo’ as a gospel truth,
obeyed those orders and tried their best to stand tongue-tied. Not only that,
but they wanted to hush-hush even the Hindu Sanghatanists and other far-
sighted politicians, who refused to be duped by that flimsy political trick
and refused to acquiesce in such a guilty silence.
Whirlwind of protest
The whirlwind of protest raised by the indignant people, the forest of
black flags and picketings, through which that triumphal Pakistani train had
to pass crestfallen from Poona to Panchagani, Panchagani to Wardha and
Wardha to Bombay, the trenchant statements issued by some of our
foremost leaders in the country condemning the treacherous proposal, those
thousands of meetings and signed protests wherein millions of Indian
citizens led by the Hindu Sanghatanists pledged themselves to stand by the
integrity of their Motherland and to resist the Pakistani proposals, defeated
the design of the Gandhist group to lull the whole country into a false sense
of security, and by demonstrating the fact that there was a country-wide
challenge thrown to them, made it impossible for Gandhiji and others of his
persuasions to claim the leadership of the whole country in general and of
the Hindus in particular.
It was to organise this whirlwind of protest against these sinful designs to
break up the integrity of Hindusthan, as a nation and a state, and to
consolidate all those leaders and citizens who had thus protested publicly
against the Pakistani proposal that the Akhand Hindusthan Leaders’
Conference was convened to meet at Delhi on October 7 and 8.
It was supported by hundreds of prominent leaders from all parts of India
including the accredited representatives of the Sanghatanists, Sikhs, Arya
Samajists and other Hindu Sanghatanist organisations, as well as by several
leaders of note in their personal capacity. This conference had, from its very
inception, almost nothing to do, to the beginning or ending of the Gandhi-
Jinnah talks. It is an independent effort to consolidate those who stand by
the integrity of India into a common front. Many of those Congressites and
others who had secret sympathy with Gandhiji’s unholy mission either
through conviction or want of foresight, tried their best to frustrate the
efforts of holding such an Akhand Hindusthan Leaders’ Conference.

Gandhi-Jinnah talks were over simply because Gandhiji said: “Let no one
speak against the Gandhi-Rajaji proposal till we are trying to arrive at a
compromise with brother Jinnah!” But the organisers of the Akhand
Hindusthan Leaders’ Conference did not yield to these efforts simply
because the very starting point of those Gandhi-Jinnah talks was the
acceptance in this or that form of the treacherous concession of Pakistan. It
was impossible, as the Rt. Hon. Shreenivasa Shastriji said, for a genuine
Indian nationalist to remain tongue-tied while the integrity of our
Motherland and hoty land was being openly sold at auction.
Political Matricide
Even now that the Gandhi-Jinnah talks are over for the time being, none
should overlook the point that Gandhiji had made it quite clear that they are
only adjourned ‘sine die.’ Are we also going to remain tongue-tied without
raising a finger in defence of the integrity of our nation or without uttering a
single word of protest against the political matricide and keep looking on it
unconcerned ‘sine die’?
I earnestly request those Congressites and other leaders who wanted to
wait till the Gandhi-Jinnah talks were over but were in their heart of hearts
against the Pakistani proposal, to take courage in both hands to conquer
their own inferiority complex and come forward to condemn all further
efforts to vivisect India and attend the Akhand Hindusthan Leaders’
Conference to consolidate the anti-Pakistan front. They would doubtlessly
be welcomed in the conference by each and every one who had consented
to attend it.
But even if some of those do not find themselves to do so, the Akhand
Hindusthan Leader’s Conference will meet at Delhi irrevocably on 7th and
8th of October.
The prominent leaders of our Sikh brotherhood, the Mahantas of different
Mathas and Ashramas, His Holiness Shankaracharya of Puri, the Sanatani,
the Arya Sanghatanist leaders and their personalities occupying prominent
position in the social and political life of the country, have already
consented to attend the conference.
A hope that specially in view of the adjournment of the Gandhi-Jinnah
talks and the consequent commitment, which Gandhiji and almost all the
Congressite press, and the fact that the Congressite following has now made
to accept this or that proposal to vivisect India, it is all the more urgent to
consolidate the anti-vivisection party. As a first step towards it, the genuine

national leaders all over India will not fail to join the Akhand Hindusthan
Leaders' Conference at Delhi.

Problems before Hindudom After Bloodless (!)
Vivisection
RETALIATION
The vital interests of Hindudom demand that some maxims and arguments
emphasized in chorus by the Congressite Ministers, leaders and the press
should be promptly refuted. For example, Pandit Nehru has been reiterating,
of late, that the right of retaliation or punishment belongs to the state alone
and in no case, the people (meaning in this case Hindu-Sikhs) could be
justified in exercising it on their own initiation and responsibility. In laying
down this maxim, Panditji has happily refused to indulge in the
mischievous mumbo-jumbo of Gandhistic morals. He stated clearly that he
was not talking about the morals of this question but the practical aspects of
it only. So far so good. But he conveniently forgot to touch the most crucial
and practical aspect of the question—what were the people to do, when the
state proved either so unwilling or so pusillanimous as to fail miserably
even to defend its own people, not to speak of retaliating to avenge the
wrongs perpetrated on their hearths and homes and honour?
Even an individual has a legal right of self-protection and of retaliation in
so far, at any rate, as it forms an inevitable weapon of self-defence against a
violent aggressor, when the police is nowhere in evidence or is unable, or
the worst of it all, is unwilling to face the aggressor for fear of displeasing
him. Verily a people must have this fundamental right that every citizen
possesses.
What were the thousands of Hindu-Sikhs to do when faced by an
imminent danger of being massacred in cold blood, looted, ‘burnt alive,’
forcibly converted, in short, of being exterminated as a racial and national
being by the most barbarous attacks of an organised, dangerously armed
and fanatically hostile foe, and especially when the state as such was
nowhere in evidence so efficiently as to render any the least protection to
them? While the state of Pakistan allowed firearms and explosive to be
distributed to the Moslem population throughout Western Punjab, the
League leaders were openly inciting their people that Pakistan was but a
springboard to pounce upon Hindusthan and the Moslems in their thousands
were parading in the streets, in towns and in cities, dangerously armed and
raising terror-striking slogans ‘Haske liya Pakistan, marke lenge
Hindusthan.’ While the Moslem state was planning in this wise definite

campaign of invading Eastern Punjab and capturing Delhi in order to
celebrate the inauguration of Pakistan, what were the Government of Indian
state doing in their capital at Delhi to counteract these dangerous
developments on the part of our enemies? The first step the Congressite
Ministers took was to deny emphatically that there existed any enmity at all
between the two states, that they had won a triumph in bringing about a
bloodless revolution by vivisecting our Motherland to avoid bloodshed and
the only thing that their immediate duty demanded was to order a day for
general rejoicings to celebrate the inauguration of their Indian State. In
Delhi itself, they allowed some fifty thousand Meos and several Khaksars to
concentrate with secret stores of firearms and explosive and with an ill-
conceived design to capture the capital wherein fifty per cent of the police
were allowed to be Moslems under the command of Moslem
Commissioner. The Hindu Sanghatanists kept shouting from housetops
throughout India ‘Danger Ahead’! This is no time for rejoicing, while you
are stranded on the top of a volcano already in erruption! But they were
declared as traitors and communalists, and were hunted out and imprisoned
from provinces to province. The Frontiers of East Punjab were left to rally
undefended. The consequence was that two days before the 15th of August
rose, a general massacre of the Hindu-Sikh population accompanied with
indescribable horrors became the order of the day. But while that Moslem
Province was resounding with shrieks of thousands and thousands of
Hindu-Sikh women, men and children being outraged, murdered, thrown
into flames alive, and was having a bloodbath in rivers of Hindu-Sikh blood
there, here in Delhi, the Ministers of the Indian State were literally feasting
and fiddling to celebrate their bloodless revolution!
Nehru Nero
Under these circumstances, what wonder is there that millions of Hindu-
Sikhs prompted by the instinct of self-preservation and animated by the
spirit of pan-Hindu consolidation, rose in arms in East Punjab, in Bharatpur,
in Alwar, in Patiala and in Delhi itself and responded to the best of their
might and means so furiously and effectively as to checkmate the Moslem
hoards from attempting an invasion of East Punjab, threw them on their
defensive and saved Delhi itself from being captured by the Moslems
concentrated there. If Panditji and his Congressite comrades are still safe
and secure in their seats, they owe it to this brave fight which the Hindu
Sanghatanist and Sikh forces gave in the nick of time. And still, it is he,

who unblushingly comes forward to deliver to them a sermon on the
exclusive right of the State to retaliate!
Had a Shivaji or a Ranjit Singh been at the head of the State, they could
have demanded with propriety that the people should leave the right of
retaliation in their hands alone. But when the puny Pandit tries to demand it
in the accents of Shivaji, it strikes as funny as it would do, if a pigmy
standing on his tiptoes tried to rival a giant in height.
Nevertheless, in all sincerity, I exhort once more my Hindu brethren in the
Congress and the cabinet to take a lesson, at least now, from past errors,
cease to be ideologues and join hands with Hindu Sanghatanists, to face
realities as revealed by the recent happenings. The stark realities in the main
are these:
(1) That the Moslems have tacitly declared a war on Hindusthan with a
view to transforming it altogether politically, religiously and culturally into
a Moslem-Sthan
(2) That intense preparations to invade Hindusthan with up-to-date arms
and air force are already afoot and with the help of the Pathans and
Baluchis across the Frontiers and perhaps under the lead of the Amir of
Afghanistan, they mean to open two extensive fronts in the main, one from
Kashmir to Junagad, both included, and the other in the South under the
command of the Nizam threatening the territory from Macchallipatam to
Goa on one side and C.P. and Berar on the other.
(3) That the Moslem, in India are bound to rise in revolt simultaneously
with this invasion from outside to sabotage and stab our state from within.
(4) That to forestall and counteract this Islamite peril, our State must raise
a mighty force exclusively constituted of Hindus alone, must open arms and
ammunition factories exclusively manned by the Hindus alone, and
mobilize everything on a war scale.
(5) That we should make it quite clear that the Moslem minority in
Hindusthan shall receive the same treatment for better or worse, in kind and
in scale, which the Hindu-Sikh minority receives at the hands of the
Moslem Government, in all respects such as representation, services and
even rights of citizenship.
(6) As in the very nature of things and on their own confessions neither
the Gandhistic ideology nor the pseudo-nationalistic ideology of the
Congress can ever cope with this Islamite offensive and as the Hindu
Sanghatanist ideology alone can and will be able to fight out this danger

successfully, the Government should consist of such Ministers alone, who
are pledged to the Hindu Sanghatanist ideology alone. If the Congressite
Ministers are unwilling to accept this indispensable programme, they
should at least be patriotic enough to resign and hand over Government to
the Hindu Sanghatanists and Sikhs.
It is a self-conceited plea that questions the ability of the Hindu Nation to
replace the present Congressite Ministers by leaders as able or even by
better ones. If the Government is handed over to a Sikh-Hindu Sanghatanist
coalition, a cabinet could be formed within a week, which will be not only
more efficient but what is chiefly important, shall also be far more willing
to accept and carry out undoubtedly the above programme, which as we
have proved, is absolutely indispensable to face the stark realities as noted
above.

Nehru’s Nightmare — Hindu Raj?
Carpet Knights
The Gandhist ministers, leaders and newspapers have recently trotted out
a new stunt to cover their dismal and disastrous failure to protect the life,
property and honour of our nation and perhaps with a crafty design to
capture Moslem votes in the joint electorates to come. Pandit Nehru, their
megaphone, has recently been addressing a number of meetings, wherein
instead of assuring and enlightening the people as to how his government is
going to forestall and frustrate the covert machinations and overt challenges
of the Moslems to conquer and convert the whole of Hindusthan into a
Pakistan, he has been indulging into furious denunciations against the
demand for a Hindu State! As if the mere demand for a Hindu Raj
constitutes a danger to his Government, so much more imminent,
impending, incalculably disastrous as to call for his immediate attention
than the already established Moslem Raj in Pakistan, where fanatical
atrocities, arson, bloodshed and butchery have been the order of the day and
millions of Moslems keep parading the streets with such war cries as
‘Haske liya Pakistan! marke lenge Hindusthan!’ Pusillanimous enough to
tolerate these diabolical actions and threats on the part of the Moslems
against his ‘Indian Union,’ Pandit Nehru and his pseudo-nationalistic
section in the Congress are delivering mock heroics against the Hindus and
swearing that they will fight tooth and nail against those who demand a
Hindu Raj!
Pandit Nehru swaggers on, that if the Hindu Sanghatanists persist on in
their efforts to establish a Hindu Raj, they would meet with the fate of
Hitler and Mussolini. He forgets that the Hindu Sanghatanists are led by
hundreds of those seasoned veterans, who had fought in the vanguard of
Indian Revolutionist forces against Britain when Gandhiji, speaking
politically, was still in his clothes and the Pandit was not yet born. So many
of them defied the sword and the scaffold, and the sacrifices and the
sufferings undergone by each of them in the fight for Indian Independence
outweigh the sacrifices of all the Gandhist ministers totalled together. They
cannot be terrorised by the threat of such Carpet Knights as the Pandit and
his clan. In case they fail in aiming so high, they are prepared to face any
fate in the defence of the honour, greatness and glory of Hindudom. But
what in case they succeed in establishing a Hindu Raj? What fate should the
Pandit and such other traitors to the Hindu Raj deserve?

The demand for a Hindu Raj, these pseudo-nationalists say, is communal,
stupid, mediaeval, theocratical, a menace to the progress of mankind itself!
But they conveniently refuse to tell us what they precisely mean by Hindu
Raj, before they characterise it in the above-mentioned vilifying terms.
Nevertheless, assuming for the sake of argument that the demand for a
Hindu State deserves this condemnation on all these counts, may we ask
them, was not the demand for a Moslem State at least equally condemnable
on these very counts? Did the Moslems not base their claim to own the
Pakistani Provinces on the ground that the Moslems constituted the major
community predominating there? How then that communal claim was
respected by you as so fundamentally national as to vivisect our Motherland
to make room for an Independent Moslem State? Why did you not refuse to
listen to that ‘Communal‘ claim as ‘stupid’? Did the Direct Action the
Moslems resorted to, not prove it to the hilt that the Moslem State they
demanded was avowedly theoretical, setting the hands of the clock of
Human Progress back not only to the ‘Mediaeval’ but to the beastial age?
But instead of fighting against that demand for a Moslem Raj, you actually
abetted the crime of cutting integrated India right into two pieces directly
on communal lines, which the Anglo-Moslem conspirators perpetrated and
handed over Pakistan to the Moslems so ceremoniously, with such ease and
grace as you would hand over a cup of tea to a welcome guest! With what
face now can you vilify the demand for a Hindu Raj on these very counts,
even if it could be said to possess all the above traits?
Perverse Gandhism
Had not Gandhiji himself conspired with the Ali Brothers to invite an
invasion by the Pathans and to enthrone the Amir of Afghanistan as the
Emperor of India? Had he not declared again in the year 1940 in writing
and repeated it now and then that if the Nizam, subduing the Hindu Princes
and with the support of Frontier tribes, took Delhi and became the ruler of
India that would be a perfect Home rule, a cent per cent Swaraj? Thus, a
Pathani or a Nizami Moslem Raj is to Gandhiji a cent per cent Swaraj. But
a Hindu Raj! Oh no! It would be communal, fascist, anti-national and an
anathema!!!
You contend further on that our country and our state can not be called
Hindusthan and a Hindu State as some non-Hindu minorities too are
citizens thereof. But how is it that in spite of the presence of Hindus,
Christians, Parsees and other non-Moslem minorities in its territory, all of

you and Gandhiji in particular, keep ‘salaming’ saluting the newly, carved
out Moslem Raj as ‘Pakistan’, which avowedly and literally means a Holy
Moslem Land, a Moslem State? Is it not a fact that almost all states and
nations are called after the names of what the League of Nations termed
‘National Majority’ predominating in each? Nor have you yourselves ever
felt any qualm of conscience in recognising Baluchistan, Vaziristan,
Afghanistan, Turkastan or the Turkish State as such, in spite of the presence
of non-Moslem minorities there? How is it then that the very mention of the
name of Hindusthan or the Hindu State alone takes your breath out, as if
you were smitten by a snake bite?
Bloodshed or?
The only reason you have been so emphatically reiterating to defend
your recognition of Pakistan as an Independent Moslem Raj in spite of all
these objections to it, is to the effect that you were faced with the only
alternative ‘bloodshed or Pakistan’ and so to avoid bloodshed, you were
persuaded to accept Pakistan. Leaving aside, the fact that such a cowardly
reason condemns your action more than defend it, we only ask, do you not
thereby insinuate unwillingly enough that if but the Hindus too face you
with a similar alternative bloodshed or Hindusthan, you will be persuaded
to accept Hindusthan too with equal readiness?
I warn the Hindu electorate categorically for the thousandth time that
unless they remove these pseudo-nationalist leaders from the helm of our
state, the Gandhistic Indianism will allow Moslems inside India to capture
key posts in the army, the police, the state. These Moslems will rise from
within as soon as the Pakistani forces invade India from North, East, West,
South, as they are sure to do in near future, and taken ‘unawares’ as usual,
this Gandhist Government of today will go down in no time and India will
be converted by the Moslem conquest into an Akhand Pakistan.
Warring Ideologies
The choice, therefore, is not between two sets of personalities but between
two ideologies, not Indian Raj or Hindu Raj but Moslem Raj or Hindu Raj,
Akhand Hindusthan or Akhand Pakistan.
The Hindu Sanghatanist ideology alone can, therefore, save our nation and
re-establish an Akhand Hindusthan from Indus to the Seas.

Before they vivisect India, let us vivisect their
Pakistan first (23rd May, 1947)
“Let Bengal Hindus beware of the scheming platitudes and pro-Muslim
designs of Gandhiji, who started for Bengal straight after his interviews
with Mr. Jinnah, avowing open hostility towards the demand for framing a
Hindu majority province in Bengal. No compromise should dupe us into
abandoning that demand as Moslems are sure to repudiate their part as soon
as we are trapped. Pakistan or no Pakistan, we must have now a Hindu
province in Bengal, Punjab and Sindh in the interest of Akhand Bharat
itself. For, even if the impossible happens and Britain concedes integrity of
India under a strong Central Government, then new Hindu majority
province in Bengal can openly serve as a faithful sentry checkmating any
further treacherous attempt on the part of Moslem majority there. On the
other hand, in case Pakistan is thrust on us by Britain, the creation of these
provinces shall form an unbroken link of Hindu majority provinces from
East Punjab to West Bengal and with the Hindu kingdom of Nepal and
Kashmir in the North and Hindu Assam in the east, would consolidate and
enable Hindus to reannex the revolting Pakistani areas, provided of course
we ‘Hinduise all politics and militarise Hindudom.”
— V. D. Savarkar.

Bengal—A Hindu Majority Province
The following Telegram was sent to Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee by Veer
Savarkar on March 21, 1947:
“I support emphatically your demand for separate Hindu Majority Bengal
province owing loyal allegiance to a consolidated strong and sovereign
central Hindusthani state.
We shall be better equipped to protect Hindu minority in eastern Bengal
than we are at present.”
—V. D. Savarkar

Independent Jewish State

The following statement was issued to the Press by Veer Savarkarji on 19-
12-1947:
“I am glad to note that the overwhelming majority of the leading nations
in the world should have recognised the claim of the Jewish people to
establish an Independent Jewish state in Palestine and should have
promised armed assistance to get it realised. After centuries of sufferings,
sacrifices and struggle, the Jews will soon recover their national Home in
Palestine, which has undoubtedly been their Fatherland and Holyland. Well
may they, compare this event to that glorious day in their history when
Moses led them out of the Egyptian bondage and wilderness and the
promised land flowing with milk and honey came well within sight.
Judging from the Indian Press in general, our public seems to be
misinformed by a sinister pro-Moslem propaganda regarding this Palestine
issue. It must be emphasized, therefore, that speaking historically, the whole
of Palestine has been, from at least two thousand years before the birth of
the Moslem Prophet, the National Home of the Jewish people. A long line
of their great prophets and kings, of Abraham and Moses, of David and
Soloman, has endeared that country to them as their Fatherland and
Holyland. The Arabian Moslems invaded Palestine only a few decades
before they invaded our Sindh and just as their fanatical fury exterminated
the ancient Egyptians or Persians, they attempted to wipe out with fire and
sword the Jewish people too. But they failed in this unholy ambition. The
Fatherland and the Holyland of the Arabian Moslems lies in Arabia and not
in the Palestine.
In justice, therefore, the whole of Palestine ought to have been restored to
the Jews. But taking into consideration the conflict of self-interests of the
powerful nations in the UNO, their support to the resuscitation of the
Jewish State in a part of Palestine at any rate, wherein they still happen to
be in majority and which includes some of their prominent Holy Places
constitutes an event of historical justice and importance.
It is consequently to be regretted that the delegation that represented our
Hindusthani Government in the UNO should have voted against the
creation of the Jewish State. The speeches of Shrimati Vijayalaxmi in
particular were justly ridiculed when she declaimed melodramatically that
the Indian Government refused to stab the unity and integrity of the
Palestine State in the back by carving out a separate Jewish State—

forgetting for the while that the very Indian Government had stabbed the
unity and integrity of their own nation only the other day and gloated over it
as an event for public jubilations! Pandit Nehru made his case more
untenable by stating that the creation of the Jewish State was opposed by
his Government to secure the goodwill of the group of the petty Moslem
States in Asia. But what about the loss of the goodwill of the Jews in India
and outside and of the powerful nations which voted in support of the
Jewish State? As a policy, it is as absurd to sacrifice the goodwill of an
army of giants as to secure the unjustifiable goodwill of a handful of
pigmies. Moreover, can Hindudom, at any rate, forget that these petty
Moslem States and even the Chinese-Moslems, who are conspiring to create
a Chinese-Moslem State, are always enemically disposed to Hindusthan as
a State?"

Do not allow Non-Hindus in Hindu Mahasabha
The following telegram was sent to Dr. Shyamaprasad Mukherjee by Veer
Savarkar on 27 July, 1947 after partition:
“In as much as the proposal of throwing open full or associated membership
of Hindu Mahasabha to nationalist non-Hindus has been publicly discussed in
press, I must express my view in time against it. If non-Hindus are admitted as
members in the Hindu Mahasabha, whether on political or economical point, it
is bound to be detrimental to the Hindu solidarity because every political
question is in India, either religious or cultural and every religious and cultural
question is political. Shuddhi, though religious, is political and Pakistan,
though camouflaged as political, is religious. The Hindu Mahasabha is a
mandir for Hindu worship where Hindus alone can go to worship their
nationalist Shiv. Let us not turn that mandir into a masjid or bazar. By such an
error, the Hindus will lose their self by those very steps by which the Congress
degenerated into a chaos. We may join any nationalist association on a separate
platform, where we Hindus as an undivided entity join hands in special matters
like the election campaigns, so far as it is not detrimental to Hindu interests,
with our non-Hindu nationalists. But the Hindus must have an organisation of
their own, where they can think, plan, consolidate and act as Hindus without
check, from any non-Hindu, who enters by right. Otherwise, one day, a
Moslem may come to preside over the Hindu Mahasabha too. As long as there
are purely Muslim, Christian and Parsee bodies in India, so long at least, the
Hindus must have an exclusive organisation of their own. On this spirit, the
Hindu Mahasabha was found and rose to be the center of Hindu solidarity and
power. Let us not undo this monumental work for the vicious temptation of a
few seats of offices. Let us leave to the next generation, true ambition of
rendering the Hindu Mahasabha itself, the National Parliament of
Hindusthan.” — V. D. Savarkar
