Hello and welcome to The show, thank you for joining me and thank you for watching!
On 18th October 2019, assailants had brutally stabbed and killed former Hindu Mahasabha leader Kamlesh Tiwari.
Remeber, this was the same Kamlesh Tiwari, who had earlier spent 9 months in jail over his comments on Prophet Muhammad.
Can you imagine, in a democratic country with a pluralist culture, a man spent 9 months in jail for “insulting” Islam’s prophet. And now he’s dead.
So much their backsides burned because Mohammad was insulted
So it is now clear as day that the reason Kalmesh Tiwari was murdered is because of the comments that he made about Prophet mohammad.
This incident was done to drive fear into Hindus, that you say something that Muslims don’t like, you die.
And Hindus should be afraid. In a country that is 80% Hindu, people can walk into your house and murder you for saying something that should be allowed in a free and democratic society like India.
This is a very scary situation for a Hindu that wants to speak their mind in India.
Now, most people are blaming Muslims and Islamic ideology for this issue. And blame must go on them and questions must be asked. But there are more layers to this problem.
There are more layers to why Kamlesh Tiwari, who had repeatedly said on social media that his life was in danger, he had repeatedly gotten threats. There are many layers in this that need to be addressed.
We are going to look at some lessons that we need to take so that kamlesh Tiwari’s death does not go in vain, We have to make sure that Kamlesh Tiwari is not forgotten as just another headline in a long list of headlines.
Here are some lessons that I think we should take from Kamlesh Tiwari’s murder
Free Speech: Even before Kamlesh Tiwari was murdered for his opinions, we must remember that kamlesh was also thrown in jail for his opinions. This is today’s India.
We want to challenge the ideas of Abrahamic religions, we want to question them so we can reform them. At the same time, we have laws like article 295A where you can be thrown in jail for “hurting religious sentiments”.

We already fear violence from islamists, at least let us not fear that the government will throw us in jail.
I also know that many Hindus support 295A because they don’t want their goods criticized and denigrate. But we have to remember, we are not scared of criticism, they are.
They know if you criticise their faith too much, it will start to collapse. Religious reform can only come if ideas can be discussed freely. In every place, and on every occasion, we must question Abrahamic ideas and support those who question Abrahamic ideas.
Indians as a whole need to ask the Modi government to repeal 295A. So religious ideas can be questioned freely without the fear of the government coming and locking you up. It need to go NOW.
Law and Order: We want that ideas can be discussed freely in India so that true reform can be achieved. But Free speech will mean nothing if people do not feel safe enough to speak.
If free speech is allowed, then islamists will use their favourite tactic: intimidation. If you don’t be quiet then we will make you quiet permanently.
This is why, along with free speech, the government NEEDS to fix law and order issues immediately. Without strong law and order, free speech means nothing.
Remeber, before Kamlesh Tiwari was murdered, Maulana Anwarul Haq, the head Imam of Jama Masjid in Bijnor, had once offered Rs 51 lakh to behead Kamlesh Tiwari over his remarks against Prophet Muhammad
Nothing happened to him for three years. Despite making a clear death threat, he was allowed to roam free. How??
Very little protection was provided to kamlesh Tiwari by Adityanath government. Now he is saying protection will be provided properly Why?
Why when the milk is spilt? Questions must be asked. Only encounters are ot law and order. Its a much bigger issue.
This is not the first time this has happened as well. Many times before, some Maulana comes off the street and gives death threats to people that they think have insulted Islam or propthet Mohammad.
And none of them go to jail. Calling for murder is not protected by free speech
They say these things over and over again, because they know the government won’t do anything.
Do you think if these people are thrown in jail when they make these comments and given some hospitality, that they will make these comments so easily again?
This happens all the time, peaceful people come out anytime they think their religion has been insulted and loot, destroy and kill freely.
Do you think this would happen if they had some fear of the police? They don’t fear the police at all, they know police will not do anything
And this is not because the police are scared. Police knows they are not well equipped and will not be supported by the State.And this is not because the police are scared. Police knows they are not well equipped and will not be supported by the State.
And this is not because the police are scared. Police knows they are not well equipped and will not be supported by the State.
If muslims and media complain that police are profiling Muslims, the government will not support the police
The government needs to improve law and order. They need to hire more police, equip them better and support them fully when they rae ensuring law and order.
Only then will these Islamists realize that they can’t do whatever they want. Islamists are bullies, They need to be taught that they cant bully people in India. Only then will they respect law and order.
Governments have ignored this for a long time, no longer.
The government needs to be asked this question. People need to put pressure on them. Fix law and order NOW. Enforce the law.
Support the cause: I have seen in the past few days, since Kamlesh tiwari was murdered, many viraat hindus are saying that they need to teach Islamists a lesson.
But its very easy to be brave on Twitter and facebook. Most of these viraat Hindus will not go out and fight the fight. But there are people who are fighting ideological and actual battles
but we need to realize that there are people who are willing to be on the front lines. These are people who deal with the Islamists on a daily basis
But one big problem with current Hindu society is that they always talk about protecting Dharma, but they don;t want to do anything about it.
One of the last things that kamlesh Tiwari posted on Twitter was that peoplemcome to him for help all the time, but noone wants to help his organization. He said that the Islamists are very well funded from overseas.
Noone wants to support them financially. Many Hindunorganizations hear this all the time, “you are working for Dharma, why do you need money? Do it from the goodness of your heart”
“ do your Karma, don’t worry about money”
Well let me tell the Hindu society one thing. Bhukhe bhajan na hoye gopaala. Without money, these local organizations that fight for Dharma on the ground, they cannot do anything
Islamists are much better funded and organized.So if you want that these organizations can truly stand up against the Islamists, then fund them. Fund them freely.
There are people who are questioning Islamic ideals openly, putting themselves at risk Support them, Give and give freely.
Vikas Pandey has set up a go fund me to take care of kamlesh Tiwari’s family, i request you to go and give to his family. They lost their father, at least let them not worry about money
Any organization that you think is fighting for Dharma and you like them and you want to support them, immediately gove them money
Promise to yourself, that your duty in preserving Dharma and Hindu civilization, should be, that you will give a small portion of your paycheck every month to Hindu causes and Hindu organizations, magazines, personalities.
If you can’t pay, if you don’t have enough money,. Then volunteer time. Go to your local organizations and ask them what they need and help them
Only then, will they realize that people support them. Don’t repeat the mistakes we made with Kamlesh Tiwari. will we be able to fight back against the well funded Islamists.
So, in my opinion, these are the three lessons that we have to learn from kamlesh Tiwari’s murder if we want to honour his memory and make sure we don’t have any kalesh Tiwari situations in the future
If we don’t ensure these things, the just like we have had countless Kamlesh tiwaris in the past, we will continue to have kamlesh tiwaris in the future
Ask for law and order, ask for free speech, and promise yourself to support a Dharmic cause.
I want to ask you, do you agree with me on these three lessons? DO you think there are other lessons to learn? Let me know in the comments below!
