Cultured and refined, Narain Kataria devotes his life to protecting freedom from the anti-culture and largely unrefined jihadists. Eleven years ago, Mr. Kataria founded the non-profit, Indian American Intellectuals Forum, over which he presides for the last 7 years, in New York. The Forum exists to strengthen friendship between the country of his birth and this country of treasured freedom.
Mr. Kataria also is a director of Hindu Human Rights Watch, a watchdog for Hindu security globally. He is a founding member of the Human Rights Coalition Against Radical Islam [introduced in these pages a year ago and whose three rallies were reported here]. The Coalition invites in all faiths, races, and nationalities to defend liberty and civilization.
Thus the Hindu principle of live-and-let-live counters the Radical Muslim principle of live Muslim or die. Hindus do not forcibly convert, do not organize themselves under a religious hierarchy, and Kataria avers, can see others’ pain.
“Hindus consider the world as a family,” Kataria explains. “Hindus never sent expeditions out to loot, murder, and dominate.” By contrast, alien religions did invade India for such purposes and by such means, “unleashing a reign of terror and forcibly subjugating the people for 600-700 years.”
It was the British who emphasized a distinction between Hindus and Buddhists. Hindus feel a basic unity with Buddhists – Buddha was Indian. I have seen Kataria introduce a Sikh priest as “our elder brother.” Kataria expressed gratitude to the Sikhs, whose martial skills and interests defended Hindus from aggressive Islam.
As examples of Indian tolerance and understanding of others’ problems, he cites the welcome given to hundreds of thousands of Tibetans driven out by China and to Parsis driven out of Iran by Islamists. India welcomes refugees without conditions. Kataria attests that India never persecuted Jews.
The Indian American Intellectuals’ Forum holds conferences to help people understand who and what guide international terrorism. The Intellectuals’ Forum had sent their representatives to present a Hindu perspective at anti-terrorism conferences organized by Intelligence Summit in Florida and by America’s Truth Forum in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas. Every year Intellectuals' Forum organizes Hindu Unity Day in New York and invites important Indian leaders to speak on that occasion.
The Intellectuals’ Forum supports like minded groups, such as the New York chapter of Act For America. Twice its members visited the State Dept. The delegation informed the State Dept. that Pakistan misused U.S. aid to build an aggressive force against India. They urged the U.S. to declare Pakistan a terrorist state, disarm its nuclear weapons, and divide Pakistan into its four major ethnic areas.
Splitting up Pakistan is not as Quixotic as it seems. The Baluchis and other major groups in Pakistan do not want to be dominated as they are by the Punjabis.
When Bangladesh in eastern Pakistan seceded, the Pakistani army began a massive slaughter of Bangladeshis, including 2.5 million Hindus and .5 million Muslims. India’s army arrested and jailed 90,000 Pakistani soldiers and forced the Pakistani army out. Who knows how many more millions India thereby saved! That was before Pakistan developed nuclear weapons.
State Dept. officials heard the delegation out, but told them that nothing they would say could sway the U.S. from its alliance with Pakistan. The U.S. paid for that stubbornness, as another article will show.

Democracy is the mother of corruption and corruption is the mother of evils.
But the mother of evil <corruption> became to be known as AID since last century.
India and pakistan definitely have got differences that can be sought out but, corruption is playing it's part to make such differences more and more day by day.
Western driven by israel have got the policy of divide and rule. And divide and rule cant be enforced without corruption.
United states itself is the major player of corruption.
Sadly pakistan had been it's pretty soft target of corruption. It's policies get implimented within seconds through pakistan. That's why they won't need to storm it like iraq and afghanistan.
It's no secret now Mullah omar preferred carpet bombing to
carpet of gold.
But pakistani and indian leaders are busy to acquire nuclear and drones.
After more than 60 years of independance india and pakistan are slaves of world powers. They are playing in the hands of US, ISRAEL, CHINA etc etc.
Corruption is so bad in China, that their industries poison the water and air and ship toxic products to their babies and U.S. pets, etc.. Corruption was rife in USSR and is in Iran. In some Arab states, one has to bribe government workers for ordinary work. U.S. corruption largely is in government subsidy.
There is no evidence that India and Pakistan take orders from greater powers, though if China did not back Pakistan, India might have defanged Pakistan before it got nuclear weapons. There is no evidence that Israel runs foreign countries, and much evidence that the U.S. twists Israeli policies.
Pakistan is using US at the sametime giving a fallacious impression that it is otherway around. The ploy is to squueze billions out of US and line their own pockets and give some to china for weapons purchase.Not until the Pak terrorists have invaded US mainland did the later realize the rules of the game. DC has thoroughly failed to ufathom the AfPak quicksand it landed in.
