Hindutva State India’s Deportation of Muslims to Bangladesh at Gunpoint is an Open Enmity to the Muslims like that of the Illegal Jewish Entity
The Hindutva Modi government is continuously increasing the level of oppression and torture, including demolishing the homes of Indian Muslims and sending them into unjust forced exile. Through this they are basically following in the footsteps of the illegal Jewish state Israel. Recently, they are even treating Indian Muslims like animals by calling them illegal immigrants and sending hundreds of them back to Bangladesh at gunpoint, ignoring their so-called national and international legal processes. “They treated us like animals,” said a woman named Rahima Khatun. “We protested that we are Indians, why should we enter Bangladesh? But they pointed guns at us and threatened, ‘If you don’t go the other way, we will shoot you.’ After hearing four gunshots from the Indian side, we got very scared and quickly crossed the border on foot”. [FP report].
Many have tried to hide the real truth by calling it a result of India’s current hostile relations with Bangladesh. In fact, it is part of a continuous process of statelessness of Indian Muslims and erasing the identity of Muslims in India, just as the illegal Jewish entity Israel is continuously doing in Palestine. In India, which is home to over 200 million Muslims, from the demolition of the historic Babri Masjid to the construction of a temple, to the erasure of the thousand-year-old tradition of Muslim rule, to the uprooting of Aurangzeb’s tomb, to the new Citizenship Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), lastly by passing the new Waqf (Amendment) Bill, India is doing systematic elimination of identity of Muslims and turn Muslims statelessness. Allah ﷻ says, “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allāh” [Surah Al-Ma’idah: 82].
The question is, why is the Hindutva State of India showing this audacity? Firstly, even though the Muslims of this region are bound by the same faith and blood, the Kafir Colonialist Britain has divided and weakened the Muslims on the basis of nationalism (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, etc.), and has imposed their secular proxy rulers on us who never come forward to protect the Muslims in any way. Due to this the security advisor of the interim government has said, “If it is proven that they are citizens of Bangladesh, then we will accept them”, and the head of the largest secular political party in the country has made his position clear, “Neither Delhi nor Pindi, nor any other country, Bangladesh first!” Moreover, secular politicians and intellectuals are so hypocritical and hateful towards Muslims that they roar like tigers against the persecution of minority Hindus in Bangladesh, and meow like cats against the oppression and torture of ‘minority’ Muslims in India. Yet the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He is not of us who dies for the sake of Asabiyyah (nationalism); he is not of us who calls to Asabiyyah; he is not of us who fights for Asabiyyah” (Abu Dawud). Secondly, India is a regional henchmen of Kafir Colonialist America, especially a member of the Quad, one of the military alliances in the Indo-Pacific region. Just as the Kafir Colonialist America uses the illegal Jewish entity in the Middle East to suppress the Muslim Ummah, they similarly use the Hindutva State of India in South Asia.
O Muslims, Allah ﷻ says, “And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help” [Surah Al-Anfal: 72]. If Muslims are attacked in any part of the world, it is obligatory upon other Muslims to help them. You have witnessed that these nationalist secular Muslim rulers do not send our military forces to help the Muslims of Palestine, Kashmir, and Arkan, while they send military forces under the leadership of the United Nations at the call of America and shed blood. They are not the guardians of the Muslim Ummah, but are rather traitors. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Indeed, the Imam (Caliph) is the shield (commander) under whom the Muslims fight and defend themselves” [Sahih Muslim]. Muslims are oppressed worldwide due to the absence of the real guardian of the Muslim Ummah – the Khilafah (Caliphate). Therefore, we must unite in establishing the Khilafah instead of looking at these agent rulers. Our call should be toward the sincere sons of the Muslim Ummah who are serving in the military so that they give nussrah (hand over authority) to the sincere party of the Muslim Ummah – Hizb ut Tahrir – in establishing the Khilafah. You should remember that this is your duty as a believer.
﴿فِي وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُم فِي الأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا يَعْبُدُونَنِي لاَ يُشْرِكُونَ بِي شَيْئًا وَمَنْ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمْ الْفَاسِقُونَ﴾
“Allāh has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves1 after that – then those are the defiantly disobedient” [Surah An-Nur: 55].
