The ‘One-man army’ of Shri. Thakur Raja Singh fighting
against anti-Hindu Govt., jihadi Muslims and the so-called liberals
 Thakur Raja Singh |
Like Mr. Tapan Ghosh of ‘Hindu Samhati’ in West Bengal and Mr. Pramod Mutalik of ‘Shriram Sena’ of Karnataka, the name of Mr. Thakur Raja Singh, municipal councilor from Mangalghat, Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad)’s will have to be taken with respect. Although Mr. Thakur Raja Singh is a worker of secular party like ‘Telgu Desam’, with Mr. Chandrababu Naidu as its President, Mr. Raja Singh has nurtured fierce and active Hinduism in self. In ‘Bhagyanagar’, known as ‘Pakistan in India’, the condition of Hindus is very pathetic owing to Muslim political parties, anti-Hindu Congress and police. Hindu-hater Congress rulers and police are instructing Hindus that they should not perform ‘puja-paath’ in temples, should not ring bells in temples, they should not take out procession on ‘Shriram-navami’, ‘they should not try to unite Hindus’ etc. The local Muslims with their ‘jihadi’ mentality have opposed procession taken out on the day of ‘Shriram-navami’. Owing to the intimidation of Muslims, Mr. Thakur Raja Singh has been implicated in a false case and arrested by the police. He is fighting, like a ‘one –man army’, against Hindu-hater Congress Government, ‘jihadi’ Muslims and the so-called liberals from his own party and own Dharma. Recently, HJS activists met Mr. Thakur Raja Singh. The exchange of views that took place between them and points observed by the two HJS members are given below for the readers of ‘Dainik Sanatan Prabhat’; with a prayer to God that let the readers get motivated to do something for their Nation and Dharma on reading these points !
1. Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad) is known as ‘Small Pakistan’; despite this, you are working for protection of Hinduism so effectively. How is it possible ? From where do you get the motivation to work in such adverse conditions ?
1A. Mr. Thakur Raja Singh says that he would continue to serve cows, Dharma and his Nation till there is life in his body : ‘While doing something for protection of ‘Hinduism’, I never expected anything in return. I feel duly proud that I am born as a Hindu and am getting an opportunity to serve my Dharma. ‘Gou-mata’ is the real inspiration behind the activities undertaken by me. It is my goal to serve ‘Gou-mata’, Dharma and Nation till my last breath.
1B. Despicable attempts by ‘jihadis’ and police to stop ‘puja’ and ringing bell in Shri Bhagyalakshmi Temple and Mr. Thakur Raja Singh strongly opposing the same: For the past few months, MIM (Majalis-e-Ittehadul- Musalmeen) [a political organization with Muslims of ‘jihadi’ mentality] and ‘Razakari’ police controlled by Hindu-hating Congress regime in Andhra Pradesh, were harassing Hindus by telling them that they should not perform ritualistic worship or even ring bell in Shri Bhagyalakshmi Temple. They were harassing even Smt. Shahsikala, the President of temple committee. She sought help from many people but nobody came forward to help her. One day, I (Mr. Thakur Raja Singh) had gone to Shri Bhagyalakshmi temple for ‘darshan’ when Smt. Sashikala told me about harassment meted out to her by the police. On the following day, a picture of one lady-police holding the bell in the temple was published in newspapers. Then, I immediately announced that ‘Puja will be performed and bell will be rung in Shri Bhagyalakshmi temple and pro-Hindu activists would not get bowed down by any obstacles.’ On the previous day of actually undertaking such acts, police took me into custody at 10.30 a.m.; but even in my absence, many pro-Hindu activists went to the temple and by ringing the bells, they performed ‘puja’ in the temple.
1C. ‘Jihadi’ Muslims saying that Shri Bhagyalakshmi temple is a black stain on ‘Char Minar’; but under the awe of pro-Hindu organizations, pressure exerted by Muslims and the police reduces : Leaders of MIM openly say in their meetings that Shri Bhagyalakshmi temple is a black stain on their ‘Char Minar’ and they raise slogans that ‘they would keep quiet only when this temple is destroyed’; but the gathering of Hindus in temple on that day, created fear in them. Three things were achieved through this; one is anti-Hindus realized that if they opposed Hindu temples, its consequences would be bad; secondly, before this incident, Hindus were under lot of pressure created by police. Police were not allowing Hindus to park their vehicles; but now, they are getting parking place in the temple area and the most important thing is that earlier, very few Hindus used to visit this temple; but now, Hindus are coming in large numbers to this temple to perform ‘puja – aarti’.
2. How can you carry on with your pro-Hindu activities despite being in the secular party like ‘Telgu Desam (TDP)’? Do you face opposition from within the party? If so, how do you face such opposition?
2A. On getting elected on TDP ticket, he is asked to give up his pro-Hindu philosophy : I started preparations to contest election as an independent candidate. Later, I was given a chance to contest election under Telgu Desam Party. I was elected with huge majority. A meeting of our party was held in which I was asked to change my philosophy; but I plainly refused.
2B. TDP leaders instruct to participate in Muslim festivals; but Mr. Raja Singh firmly says ‘No’ : I was instructed by the leaders of TDP to take part in Muslim festivals especially Ramzan and to donate food on the occasion of their festivals like Bakri Id, Milad-e-un-Nabi, Moharrum etc. But I told them, “If I did so, my aim of doing something for Hinds and Hindu Dharma would take a back seat. Working for Hindus and Hindu Dharma is my only goal. I have not joined the party only to play politics; but I joined so that I will be able to undertake activities related to protection of Dharma and Nation in a better manner. I do not aspire to hold any political post.”
3. Before joining politics, how did the police use to treat you ?
3A. Police torture brutally for opposing conversion by Christians and doing pro-Hindu acts and gets arrested again and again : In the year 2004, Christian missionaries were converting Hindus. We opposed and stopped them; therefore, police brutally tortured me and conducted inquiry for 5 days. They also used ‘third degree’ (illegal method adopted by police to torture pro-Hindu activists in an inhuman manner) on me. We had staged ‘Rasta roko (blocking of roads)’ agitation after the attack on ‘Akshardham’ temple. Then again, I was arrested and brutally tortured. Police come and make inquiry of me wherever I go to any meeting or a program.
3B. Police wake up at odd hours in the night and take to police station : Police used to come at 2.00 or 3.00 a.m. to my house and used to take me to the police station. They used to keep me in custody for 2 days and beat up brutally. The motive of the police behind doing all these things used to be that Hindus should not do anything for Hinduism and they should not unite. They tortured me because I should not do anything for Dharma. I don’t like politics. Politics in Bhagyanagar is very dirty. Here, things like harassing Hindus, selling beef etc. go on openly for politics of votes. I entered politics only to do something constructive for Hinduism.
4. Police tortured you; but along with that, how many cases have they filed against you so far ?
Police filed 19 cases against Mr. Thakur Raja Singh : I had opposed few Muslims teasing Hindu girls in the year 2003 when first case was filed against me. In the year 2005, Muslims attacked procession taken out on the occasions of ‘Shriram-navami’ and ‘Hanuman Jayanti’. Police filed 19 cases against us at that time. I was in jail for 45 days. ! 80 Hindus along with me were put behind bars. Case of instigating communal riots was filed against us.
5. Was there opposition from the Govt. while doing ‘Dharma-karya’ ?
5A. Congress ministers strongly oppose any program organized by Hindus in Bhagyanagar : Congress minister Mukesh Gauda is strongly against Hindus holding any program in the area. He is afraid of Hindu unity; therefore, he does not grant permission for any Hindu program. He has also instructed police against giving permission to Hindus for any program. All these things are done for Muslim votes. This minister was responsible for changing the venue of Hindu Dharmajagruti Sabha organized by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) in the year 2011 where I was to address the meeting. Such things have happened in my case on a number of occasions.
5B. Muslims strongly oppose inauguration of ‘Shriram vahini (channel)’ and hoisting of National Flag : Muslims strongly opposed at the time of inauguration of ‘Shriram’ channel. We had planned to hoist the National Flag on the highest spot in Bhagyanagar on 26th January. That was also opposed. Here, police are totally under the control of politicians and MIM and dance to only their tunes. Anti-Hindus have also started opposing me severely.
5C. Pray to God seeking death while doing ‘Dharma-karya’ instead of stopping work related to protection of Hinduism even when ‘jihadis’ try to kill : In the year 2010, Vikruddin, a terrorist from ‘DJS (Durgah Jihadi Shahadat)’, a jihadi organisation tried to kill me. He is presently in jail. I am a target if ‘ISI’. Police warn me again and again for taking care of my safety because there is threat to my life. I, however, told them, “Everyone lives and dies in a very ordinary manner. Those, who die for ‘Dharma-karya’, are very lucky. I pray to God that if I am to die, let me die while doing ‘Dharma-karya’.”
6. Are you given an opportunity to present your topics in a meeting of municipal corporation or in any Govt. meeting ?
6A. Not getting opportunity to speak in meetings of municipal corporation owing to pro-Hindu philosophy and obstacles are created even in the development work undertaken in the area : After winning the election in 2011 as a municipal councilor, I was never given any opportunity to talk in the meeting of municipal corporation and the reason is quite clear. The opponents know that if I talked, it would be about Hinduism. Whenever I stand up to talk, I am made to sit down saying that ‘he is a pro-Hindu’ activist.’ My party never gave me an opportunity to speak; as a result, no developmental work has been taken up in my area. A Congress minister is behind this ploy.
6B. On coming to power, ‘jihadi’ Muslim leaders grant permission to open a new slaughter house : There is an un-auspicious coalition of MIM and Congress. In Municipal Corporation, MIM will rule for 2 years and Congress for 3 years. When MIM got the power and its member became Mayor, the Muslims of ‘Jihadi’ mentality took a decision to start 4 new slaughter houses and they are trying to get financial aid of Rs. 5 -10 crores from the Municipal Corporation.
7. You are facing severe opposition from political parties and Muslims; even then you are working for Hinduism in a very resolved manner. What would you say about it ?
7A. Work related to unification of Hindus being done determinedly which is creating attitude of ‘Kill or get killed’ among Hindus : Started the work related to protection of cows in 2001. Till 2007, it was done through publishing articles on importance of ‘Gou-mata’ in newspapers, creating awareness among people etc. From the year 2007, the drive received good response from people. Now Hindus feel that ‘I would kill or get killed for protection of cow.’ We tried for the first time in those days, to spread importance of cow among people through songs. We had also prepared audio-cassettes for the same.
7B. With the blessings of ‘Gou-mata’ and God, it is possible to carry on the mission : Kasha Bagga Shiv temple was in a very dilapidated state. After we went there, lot of development has taken place; roads have been built. Owing to unity among Hindus in Bhagyanagar, there also, development work has started with respect to different temples. I am devoting time for activities related to protection of nation and Dharma every day. It is possible only with the blessings of ‘Gou-mata’ and God.
8. What is the purpose behind starting ‘Shriram vahini’ ?
8A. Staring of TV channel for propagation of Hinduism : Creating awareness among youth towards Hinduism, bringing forth the truth about ‘love jihad’, giving extensive information about ‘Gou-mata’ and Hinduism, how conspiracies are hatched against Hindu Dharma; we want to spread all the above information to every Hindu. There are 7-8 TV channels operated for Muslims. Hindu channel, therefore, has to be there. Once a journalist suggested that I could start a TV channel as it did not involve much expenses; then we started efforts in that direction.
8 B. Many said that permission would not be granted if the name of the channel is kept as ‘Shriram’; but with the faith in God, try for permission with the same name and it is obtained with efforts : Many people advised me that if the name of the channel is kept as ‘Shriram’, permission might not be granted , there would be obstacles etc. But after such advice also, I kept the same name with full faith in Him and I got permission to start the channel with that name. We will be starting newspaper also for Hindus through the channel in future. Presently, many programs on ‘Gou-mata’ and programs related to Hindu Dharma are being telecast on this channel. There is very good response from the people.
9. Do your family members or friends take part or help in any manner ?
Youth and my friends have always helped me. My family always used to tell me about being cautious. The responsibility of looking after the whole family is on my shoulders. My parents are no more. Responsibility of 6 sisters is on me. I have two small children.
10. How did you come in contact with HJS ? What is your opinion about HJS activities ?
I heard about HJS activities for the first time in 2009. Then I contacted its activists on my own. Since then HJS and I are together. I am very happy that organization like HJS is doing lot of good work for Hindus.
11. What will you like to tell to other pro-Hindu organizations ?
All pro-Hindu organizations need to work together. If that happens, there will be unity among Hindus all over the country. We are trying to start that mission from Bhagyanagar (Andhra Pradesh). Today’s politicians have created rift among Hindus on the basis of casteism. All these Hindus should be united. Unfortunately, Hindus don’t think about what they can do for Hindu unification. Had I also got scared, Hindu unification taken place so far, would not have been there.
