Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story, Bloomsbury and the Left Liberal Cabal

On Saturday, the 22 August, 2020, Bloomsbury India announced that it will not publish the book “Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story” by Monika Arora, Sonali Chitalkar and Prerna Malhotra. It was done under the pressure from tiny global left liberal cabal that controls Indian publishing and constantly imposes ideological censorship. These unscrupulous ‘gatekeepers of conscience’ allow what is convenient to them and cry foul on the name of freedom of expression when things don’t suite to their designs.

We are told that this cabal is rejoicing since the book was stopped from getting published on the intended date. But in my opinion, it’s a moment of celebration for the nationalists as the lies of freedom of thought and expression that were being served for such a long time stand exposed in the backdrop of this cacophony. It’s also important to note that Bloomsbury India has already published a book called “Shaheen Bagh: From Protest to Movement” by Zia-us-Salam and Uzma Ausaf. Not only that a third grade book by Aziz Bernie which spread a naked lie that the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack was orchestrated by RSS and its affiliates also went through publication in this country.

This cabal has constantly talked that an idea should be countered with an alternative idea. Then how come the likes of William Dalrymple, Khaled Hosseini, Atish Taseer supported by Nidhi Razdan etc. lobby with Bloomsbury’s head office in UK and pressurize Bloomsbury India to withdraw from publishing the book? Bloomsbury India, which was supposed to be publishing the book had done all the scrutiny of the manuscript and had approved the publication. The last minute withdrawal leads to breach of trust and breach of contract for which it must pay. Even before the book was launched, it was on high demand as it was rated number one best seller in the political category on Amazon. This in fact sent the shivers down the spine of the unholy alliance of the Urban Naxals and Jihadists who were complicit in orchestrating the Delhi Riots, 2020. Howsoever, these left-(il) liberal- (pseudo) secular gangs try to suppress the truth, it will surface. The book “Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story” has already been published by Garuda Prakashan and surly millions of its copies would be sold.

Is this selective approach of the so called freedom of speech and expression an isolated incident? We cannot remain oblivious to the fact that these gangs became successful in banning the book “The Satanic Verses”, by Salman Rushdie on 5 October, 1988 during Rajive Gandhi’s premiership in India. Then the Jihadi gangs stopped Salman Rushdie from participating in Jaipur Literatrure Festival in 2012.  This time again, it was Ashok Gehlot led congress government in Rajasthan. In the similar vein Taslima Nasreen’s book “Lajja” was banned by the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Government (the left government in West Bengal) in 2003. The author was hounded and attacked during her book launch function in Hyderabad by the fanatic goons of Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM party in 2007.  The nationalist historians and commentators were systematically sidelined or their books and commentaries were stopped from getting to the mainstream discourse.

This unholy alliance left no stone unturned in demeaning the then Gujrat Chief Minister and the present Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi. The left-liberal academicians and journalists tried every trick to humiliate him at every platform though the Supreme Court-appointed special investigation team had absolved him all the charges leveled against him in relation to 2002 Godhra riots in Gujrat. This tiny global cabal had become successful in lobbying with US government to deny him a tourist visa under little known law on religious freedom called International Religious Freedom Act of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) in 2005. In the same year he was forced to cancel his visit to London due to protests by these dubious characters. European Union too had yielded to such a nonsensical pressure.

As Shri Narendra Modi rose in his stature and was likely to be presented as BJP’s formidable prime ministerial candidate, the countries in question started revoking their previously held position. Again the cabal of sixty-four members of Indian Parliament, 25 from the Lok Sabha and 39 from the Rajya Sabha, petitioned US President Barack Obama to advise the State Department to hold firm to its 2005 decision. One of these tricksters called Aatish Taseer had cajoled Time Magazine to portray Narendra Modi as ‘India’s Divider in Chief’ on the cover of its May 20 issue in the midst of 2019 general elections in India. What happened in the 2019 general election is the history for them all to see.

These slavish minds, still in their colonial shackles and deep slumber, don’t seem to be awakening to the new India. The new India that’s emerging after 2014 is firm in its resolve to rise with its cultural roots. It’s not weak, meek or submissive. The long pending issues such as Legal Ban on Triple Talaq in July, 2019, Abrogation of Art. 370 in August, 2019, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in December, 2019 and the construction of Shree Ram Temple at Ayodhya (the Birth Place of Prabhu Shree Ramchandra) on 5 August, 2020 following Supreme Court’s verdict on 9 November, 2019 are being carried out at a faster pace. Now they are desperate as the patronage they enjoyed doesn’t seem coming back anywhere in their sight.

The Delhi riots and the recent communal riots in Bangalore are the manifestation of their desperation. The Jihadi and Urban Naxal gangs are hell bent upon weakening the fabric of Indian society but the diversity at the base of which their lies unity is strong enough to endure such assaults. It’s therefore incidents like Bloomsbury withdrawing the publication of the book that intends to expose this nexus won’t have much bearing. In fact it’s a wakeup call to not rely on the foreign publishing houses and create our own platforms that that will help us build new India’s pillars deep and lift them to the sky.
