Root Cause Behind Necrophilia at Dhalpur
Design of the Centre and State Governments in the Interest of Palm Oil Empire
“ All Muslim girls should be raped even if brought out of graves ” was a part of the fire spitting speech by an ultra-Hindutwabadi in the presence of the poster boy of Hindutwa , Ajay Kumar Bist , then Chief Minister of one of the largest states in India .
Remember Asifa ? The 8 year old shepherd girl of Jammu Valley kept imprisoned in a temple and raped day after day . Even after death some satanic persons raped the corpse of Asifa to satisfy their beastly passion .
This deranged mindset is called necrophilia . The speech above was to propagate necrophilia among people . The same necrophiliac syndrome was witnessed through the nauseating scene during eviction drive at Sipajhar Dhalpur circle of Darrang district of Assam .
A 32 year old peasant youth was killed in police firing and a young man eager to prove himself as an Assamese by wearing a gamochha ( Assamese hand-woven towel ) as a mask was kicking the dead corpse of Mainul , a ‘ Miyan ’. A policeman was beating the dead with a rod . These scenes became viral throughout the world . All these happened in broad daylight in the presence of police officers , representatives of district administration and also in the presence of thousands of onlooking people .
Who was this youngman kicking the corpse ? He was a photo journalist employed or embedded by the district administration , Bijan Bania . The police were instigating him in this act . This was not an example of madness by a single person , since a hysteric mass of people were observed to be relishing it . The question of old enmity between Mainul and Bijay does not arise at all . Most probably they had no chance to meet each other earlier . 10
Naturally such exhibition of hatred touches the minds and consciousness of all sane and sensitive persons bringing into mind a few questions .
Where does the root of such beastly frenzy lie ? It is a grave question for any person without a proper knowledge of social life and politics of Assam . Assam is a land of many ethnic identities . Earlier the society and polity had been developing based on the conflict and unity of these ethnicities in a democratic and peaceful manner . But the ruling class of Assam found it detrimental to their interest . So they started utilising the conflicts to achieve their interests . This ruling class is locally hegemonistic and hankering for the blessings of Delhi to be in power . These flag bearers of “ nationalism ” are chauvinist , communal and sectarian to the bones . Neck-deep in the frog-in-the-well xenophobic behaviour and vision diverting itself from the wide path of democratization has travelled an opposite path of chauvinism for the last forty years and reached this stage of necrophiliac derangement . Certainly key roles were played by so-called “ Assamese National Organizations and the media in Assam . Bijay Bania is a fruit of that venomous tree .
For the last four decades , even from before , the politics of hatred carried on continually by the Assamese ruling classes and the intelligentsia living on them has given birth to such deranged mental makeup . In the name of nationalism they have sown the seeds of malicious antipathy towards Bengalis , Muslims , especially towards “ miyan ” s . They also look down upon the tribals and teagarden workers , but they follow a policy of compromise in

the interest of their political power game . Let us see the events . 1 . Massacres and pogroms at Gohpur-Nellie-Mukarmuwa- Chowlkhowa killing thousands in connivance with the state ( in Nellie in full knowledge of the state administration the area was encircled and arson was carried out for two days leaving 4000 burnt to death , even official estimate goes up to more than 2500 )
2 . Putting D ( DOUBTFUL ) in the voter list against the names of lakhs and lakhs of citizens in a strange manner to disenfranchise them .
3 . Striking out IMDT Act , 1983 at the instance of the previous BJP Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal .
4 . One sided declaration of hundreds of citizens as ‘ foreigners ’ by the Foreigners Tribunal and sending them to detention camps .
5 . Filing objections overnight against names of lakhs and lakhs of citizens during NRC .
6 . Putting 19 lakhs of citizens out of citizenship register through complex bureaucratic manner where retired army personnel were also out of the register .
7 . Latest being eviction drive at Dhalpur and the Bijay Bania episode . All the above incidents are set in a single string .
All these are parts of so called “ nationalist ” agenda and the Assamese media houses acted to champion it . From the beginning hatred towards Muslims was covertly present in Assam “ nationalism ”. But it was veiled for tactical reasons . Then they used the name of Ajan Fakir along with Shankar Madhav to veil their actual face . It is
