Why Such Saffron Hate

Recently Congress Party launched a song and a video called Bhakt Charitra, where all the terror and violence is due to people wearing Saffron Clothes and Saffron Tilak on the forehead.

This hate for saffron is not new. It date backs to 1400 years. Yes 1400 years I am not joking.

Below is an Hadith from Sahih Muslim (Book 24, Number 5173).This Hadith clearly tells us that as per The Prophet Saffron colour was usually worn by the non-believers.Hence the believers should not wear them.

Here is an another Hadith Sahih Muslim (Bk 24 No 5175).This one is even more strict, Here The Prophet says that clothes dyed in Saffron should be burnt.

Now the question is who were these infidels who wore Saffron in Arab.We can’t rule out that these infidels could be Hindus. Because the sacred colour of Jews was Blue , Christians was white, Zoroastrian’s sacred colour was Red and it is also assumed that the Pre-Islamic Quraish polytheist regarded Green as their sacred colour.

India Arab trade dates back to Pre Islamic era. Indians and Arabs were major trading partners. So it might be that Prophet Mohammad might have seen a few Hindus in Saffron.

This hate continued and gathered more momentum during the Islamic rule, eg. A Sufi saint Nooruddin Mubarak Sohrawardi once led a delegation and met Sultan Iltutamish and asked him to give a final warning to Hindus that either they should accept Islam or face death.Thank God the Sultan refused as he thought it would be impractical as Hindus are too many in India and moreover as per Hanafi law Hindus were considered as Dhimmis and they were paying Jizziah. Then Nooruddin Mubarak Sohrawardi further said that “Sultan if you cannot kill Hindus then you should humiliate them and disgrace them from their positions and on seeing the face of the Hindu your face should turn red with anger and you must feel as if you want to chew the Hindu alive”.

As per Amir Khusro this Hanafi law has saved Hindus.Amir Khusro writes that thanks to the customs of the Hanafi school Hindus would have vanished,had they not paid Jizziah.Khusro further writes that thanks to our great customs Hindus are prey of the Turks,Hindus existence is for Turks, Turks capture them buy them and sell them.

Qadi Mugdith Ad Din once advised Allauddin Khilji that if the Jizziah collector wants to spit in the mouth of the Dhimmis then the Dhimmi should open his mouth willingly with all humility.

In 1836 Moplah Outrages started in 1852 Mr T.L Strange a british officer investigated that because of the extreme fanaticism of the Moplahs the Hindu Landlords were living in fear.Even in the brutal 1921 Moplah Outrage The Three Eminent Judges presiding over Special Tribunal Calicut said that Moplahs felt that by Killing a Kafir a berth in paradise is confirmed.

This hate for Saffron was further aggravated by a new breed called the communist.Karl Marx wrote that Indians worship monkey god Kanuman and Sabbala the cow. ( https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1853/06/25.htm).

Marx status is that of a Prophet and this statement is like a fatwa.However Indian Marxists have OutMarxed Karl Marx himself as they forget that Karl Marx wanted his system to be an open system not a close system.

Marx himself once said in front of French Marxists that “ I am not a Marxist”.

Hamid Dalwai the famous Muslim reformer in his book “Muslim Politics in Secular India 1968" wrote few things about the Islamic Fundamentalists and Communist nexus. In few points let me write what he said

  1. Islamic Fundamentalists and Communists are Bed Fellows

Now what has happened to the Congress is that all the neutral voices which were not anti saffron are no more within them. They have started picking their younger lot from AISA and SFI. So the soul of this congress has been transformed into a saffron hating one. Practically speaking also they feel that their vote bank is also the combination of Communists and the minority.Though in most of the country the regional players are rival no 1 to BJP.

As I am writing this blog 2 events have happened

  • Serial Bombings in Srilanka. Even before the investigation have started , voices within India specially the communists believe that it is the handiwork of Saffron.

. Vistara posted a picture of Maj Gen G D Bakshi , the pride of the nation, the war hero. The Joshila, someone who wears his passion on his sleeves and what a meltdown by the communists and the Islamists. Creatures like Rifat , Swati, that Swedish professor, that london based Tripathi who the hell are they. This is nothing but saffron hate.
