WATCH THIS FILM. It's not about hating Hindus. It's about making people aware of what's happening. Just as Muslims and the world need to know about Muslim terrorism in order to stop it and disown these people as true Muslims, so Hindus and the world need to know about shit like this - to stamp it out and reclaim the faith.

NOT IN OUR FUCKING NAME...


INDIA: FINAL SOLUTION
Rakesh Sharma, India, 2003
Sunday 14 November 2004 9.50pm-11.20pm; Thursday 18 November 1.55am-3.25am (Wednesday night)



A study of the politics of hate. The film graphically documents the changing face of right-wing politics in India through a study of the 2002 killing of Muslims in Gujarat.



Final Solution was shot over two and a half years by the Indian filmmaker Rakesh Sharma. It tells the story of a massacre of Muslims committed in the western state of Gujarat. It investigates the relationship between the BJP and those who instigated, and actually carried out the killings.



For outsiders, it has three merits. Firstly it is an extraordinary and convincing film. Secondly, it offers a very rare insight into the details of democracy in India, and one that shouldn't encourage people to be snooty about its practices.



Thirdly, it alarmingly suggests that Adolf Hitler's and Benito Mussolini's inventions were not confined to Europe. The BJP dresses up in saffron gear, but its conduct is that of a mid-20th-century fascist party. It is capable of fomenting plots in order to legitimise violence, and it nurses the most violent racial hatreds. Although the BJP's vote went down in the last elections, it is hard to watch this film and not be alarmed by the prospect of Hindu fascism.

I totally condone the godhra violence and riots.

I don't think you can equate islamist terrorism with "hindu facism" or hindu hardliners.

"it alarmingly suggests that Adolf Hitler's and Benito Mussolini's inventions were not confined to Europe."

I agree it is an alarming suggestion. Considering both nazism and facism are based on western notion of "socialism" -a marxist ideal.

Will certainly watch it.

Oh, and regarding your comment:

Considering both nazism and facism are based on western notion of "socialism" -a marxist ideal.

- Try this little activity I call The Political Spectrum Sprint. Run as far as you can to your left, I mean out of sight, and there you'll find the marxists and communists. Then slowly walk back to your starting position (careful not to get a stitch). Now, after a short rest to catch your breath, run as far as you can to your right (chase that horizon!), and there you'll find the nazis and facists. Understandy?! Aaaaand relax!

The reason for the Godhra riots was the burning of 50+ hindus in the train- had the Hindus have not been attacked and burned the riots would not have happened. And remember the riots were not one way- 1/3 of all killed were Hindus... even though Hindus are the vast majority in gujarat.

And by the way when is the documentary on the ethnic cleansing of Hindus in Kashmir and Bangladesh by muslim fundamentalists coming out?

Actually paneer comparing the underlying racism and vitriol spouted by politicians and civic leaders is comparable, id agree that the order of magnitude of deaths isnt but if you look at the final paragraph of the artist formally known and bg you'll see what im on about.

S0n4li ill say it once ill say it twice, if you pay me ill even say it thrice

word play does not equal an argument

from political compass because its explanation was the clearest ive come across

Why is Hitler slightly right ? The Nazis were socialists, so they weren't fascists either.

Let's start with the second part first. Some respondents confuse Nazism, a political party platform, with fascism, which is a particular structure of government. Fascism legally sanctions the persecution of a particular group within the country - political, ethnic, religious - whatever. So within Nazism there are elements of fascism, as well as militarism, capitalism, socialism etc. To tar all socialists with the national socialist brush is as absurd as citing Bill Gates and Augusto Pinochet in the same breath as examples of free market capitalism.

Economically, Hitler was well to the right of Stalin. Post-war investigations led to a number of revelations about the cosy relationship between German corporations and the Reich. No such scandals subsequently surfaced in Russia, because Stalin had totally squashed the private sector. By contrast, once in power, the Nazis achieved rearmament through deficit spending. One of our respondents has correctly pointed out that they actively discouraged demand increases because they wanted infrastructure investment. Under the Reich, corporations were largely left to govern themselves, with the incentive that if they kept prices under control, they would be rewarded with government contracts. Hardly a socialist economic agenda !

We wonder if respondents who insist on uncritically accepting the Nazis' self-definition of 'socialist' would be quite as eager to believe that the German Democratic Republic was democratic.

Incidentally, on fascism, no less an authority than Benito Mussolini declared: Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism, as it is a merge of state and corporate power.

ethnic cleansing of hindus in kashmir!!!!....i think u need to wake up mate.

as far as the bangladesh thing goes, then pakistan, not MUSLIMS need to hold their hands up...there was mass murder in bangladesh...murder commited in the name of a country, not religion.....having said that it doesnt excuse what happened.

the difference between the program and what u said is that one is in the name of religion and the other in the name of nationality....again, im not excusing what happened, just making distinction.


The reason for the Godhra riots was the burning of 50+ hindus in the train- had the Hindus have not been attacked and burned the riots would not have happened

according to reports, the fires were started after a muslim girl was dragged into a train cabbin and od knows what was being done to her...and these reports were from hindu witnesses and appeared in several indian daily papers at the time.

There is ethnic cleansing of hindus in Kashmir that cannot be denied. Over 800,000 pandits are in refugee camps in Dehli. Most flee attacks from radicals who come into the region.

As for bangladesh there has been growing resentment to the hindu community who makes up 10% of the population. This has come in the form of attacks on property and even worse with murders.

But one thing is that when attrocites are mentioned people always hit back with what the "other side" has done. How about condemnation for them all. I mean a muslim can quite easily hit back by pointing out the brutal treatment of muslims at the hands of the indian army in kashmir.

These two programmes are on BBC four tonight.

21:00 Hindu Nation
Sir Mark Tully travels through India examining how the collapse of secularism has created a vacuum in which Hindu nationalism is flourishing.

He reveals the threat posed to India's tradition of religious pluralism by the growing intolerance and violence of the advocates of a Hindu nation. The tradition of religious pluralism, he argues, can only be restored by a return to the religious tolerance and unity embodied by Mahatma Gandhi.




21:50 India - Final Solution: Storyville
Deadly violence followed the burning of 59 Hindus on the Sabarmati Express train at Godhra on 27 February 2002. In retaliation, nearly 1,000 Muslims were murdered. The race hate is fanned by the BJP party.

Filmed between February 2002 and July 2003, this is director Rakesh Sharma's award-winning account of the politics of hate and violence that are tearing apart the Muslim and Hindu communities in the western state of Gujarat.

Contains very strong language and disturbing scenes.

Fanatics just never see anything bad in their community.

It's like I'd probably never want to hear a bad word about my mother. It's not to say she's never done anything wrong...

It's the same kind of protectiveness and just hiding things you don't wanna know.

Let it go. Just because for once, the Hindu extremist side gets shown.

Muslims have had it a lot worse here and you guys all know it.

If they wanted to show suffering may be they should go to Iraq and show all the blown up bodies by the Americans or may be go to Pakistan and show the bloody fighting going on there.
May be thye could show dead Christian bodies in Pakistan
Perhaps the violence in Afganistan!

"The prog was very planned and executed to show Hindus as evil when they know that is not the view of the whole of Indians.
it seems you too have fallen hook line and sinker for this propoganda." [sunray]

Explain to me how does it put Hindus in a bad light?

Any normal Hindu would refute any acts of violence on that scale.

It is definitely propoganda against political extremism and what is wrong with that?

But were did the programme show the Hindu faith under attack? I definitely saw the Muslim faith under attack! But from who? Hindus? Even though they may be born Hindus do you honestly think that was Hindu like behaviour?? Obciously not...we aint all blind sheep Sunray..it is easy to spot normal people and extremist nobs...so in conclusion, I fail to see were the Hindu faith is under attack.

Like I said before you are trying to sweep shit under the carpet. You cant see Hindus being terrorists can you? But its easy to see Muslims as terrorists isnt it. That is why we should only be looking at Iraq and Afghanistan because all terrorists have scary beards dont they!

Wake up Sunray...Those guys in that programme were terrorists as they invoked terror on people...propoganda or not..it happened! You cannot say it did not happen. You just aint comfortable with it because that minority of people adhere to the Hindu faith. But yes..we should all be looking at Iraq and Afghanistan because it is only Muslims who are terrorists innit Sunray

someguy. by ur way of thinking, if a gang of hindu's did a train attack in pakistan, and a load of muslims tehre killed/raped hindus young and old, would u be sitting here saying...

"ah well. its expected. its cos of the train attack hindu's did".

and if a documentry was made about it telling of specific incidents, would u be saying:

"oh what propaganda! the reporter is obviously anti muslim! hes exagerating!"

ud switch to thinking the opposite way to favour hindu's.

do u still think ur way of thinking ok? do u think there is any bias?

@ some_guy 'it happened AFTER the train incident'

To me that like the politicians of BJP blured with RSS is justification for the killing, torture and raping of innocent people. Infact from what I remember it was suggested on bbc news website that the fire was started from inside the train. It was blatent politics of hate and fear. Hindus sees as being oppressed by Muslims as Hitler thought all evil and problem was down to Jews.

Hello all.

Watched it yesterday- just shows that brainwashing and extremism is not only an islamic phenomenon, but exists with hindus also ...wondered how come it was called INDIA; final solution; perhaps it should have been called Gujarat:final solution, because (not denying that racism elsewhere in India exists) the atrocities against muslims committed after Godhra thankfully never spread to other parts...as an indian (who is half muslim and half hindu- which is something that ppl in UK have a bigger prob with than in india for some reason!) i have been to most parts of india (but not gujarat) and find that (where i visited/lived)muslims,hindus. jains, sikhs,christians, bah'ais,buddhists etc get on quite well; the film-maker should have stressed how the preachy-nutcases and their equally dumass followers did not represent the whole of india...this is where i felt it was a little weak, but thats just my two cents dont cyber scalp me for that!

but that aside, thought it was gripping to watch, albeit that some allusion to 'other voices' (i.e. not just psycho militant members of 'hindutva' - ...dont they realise that they are like defying the very core of hindu philosophy?) would have been interesting as well.

Plus, sorry to reiterate but there are (like the guy said in the prog) BLATANT political motivations behind these extremists (these groups are funded by political parties like Shiv Sena etc) and hindus shouldnt get sucked into this quasi religious politics cos it will only cause destruction...but the country is overrun by inpenetrable political corruption..
and thats where the true problem is- religious/political propaganda fuels this disgusting hatred...It's in India's best interests to remain a secular country.
All human beings in India, every muslim, hindu, parsi only mean one thing to the politician; a vote and a ticket to the bank.

Think it would be interesting to also make a film about non-muslim minorities in Pakistan- (although i know there are two members on the Paki Cricket team who are christian and hindu!ok that was kinda irelevent)

although there are only around 3% non muslims in pakistan - in karachi, the largest city - this number is over 10%.

And if you are trying to compare the treatment of Muslims or ANY ETNIC MINORITY in india to Pakistan - then dont make me laugh - because i have seen plenty of India too - for real and through fair media and NGO reports - and india is blatently violating human rights of so many groups that its a joke!

Outta curiousity...to anyone who's been to an RSS event...what Hindu religious scriptures do they use to justify what they do?

Or is it more of a "we are under threat approach, so lets attack kinda"

"Hindus sees as being oppressed by Muslims as Hitler thought all evil and problem was down to Jews."

not quite the most apt analogy...

as long as Hindus look at Muslim terrorism as the root problem, and Muslims only look at the effects of Hindu nationalists...then there really is no chance in hell of reducing militancy at all.

I think the best thing that can come out of this is to make sure that such a brutal event never takes place again.

There should also be more initiatives to bring the two communities together. But first obstacles such as power hungry madman like Modi need to be taken out of the equation.

junior doc, i wouldn't start comparing... we are talking here about hatred in general, and lets not recount the amount of people that have been killed by muslim terrorists. take out the blinkers please.


hi rubeia - agree completely. firstly yeah people in here have a more of a problem with inter-religion marriages because religion is their main identity, and therefore its become more politicised.

i think if they called it 'gujarat: final solution', then it wouldn't have had the impact. tv stations need to get people to watch programmes remember. i think its actually just called 'final solution'.

finally, yes its credit to the indian nation that the riots didn't spread to other parts of india.... considering there are over 130 million of them in the country.

That is a very important point that people fail to take into account. Some elements tried to spread the fighting into Bihar but were beaten back by other Hindus! Southern India is also a place where communal strife is hardly ever heard of and they to me seem to be some of the most devout Hindus I have ever met.

Not that i care either way...... but hindus in india opressing the muslim minority is on a far smaller scale than that of muslim terror organisations... i mean whens the last time you saw an indian drive a tampo into the side of a skyscraper... i jest..

what im trying to say is that i think you may be a LITTLE out when you compare spreading the awareness of muslim worldwide terrorists to them fuct up racist indians..... that lest face it have trouble using windows XP....
