BHU And The Nizami Chappal

BHU And The Nizami Chappal

This is the story of a great man and scholar who in the face of heavy opposition laid the foundation of what eventually turned out to be a great educational institution, the Benares Hindu University. This is the story of Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya.

During the Islamic and British rules, most Hindu institutions, both educational or cultural had been mercilessly downgraded. The Moslems were of course simpler in the sense that they were more open and barbaric in their treatment of the kafir’s institutions, any institutions. According to Allah’s injunctions, Hindus had no right to exist. And the barbarians destroyed our renowned Buddhist institution known the world over as the Nalanda University not counting the innumerable temples, homes and other edifices. Today, the secularists don’t want us to ask questions for fear that such questions would revive memories, bitter memories. We are told to keep mum while the oppressors go unchecked with their flauntings openly and with pride. Nalanda was set fire to, just like Umar did to Ptolemy’s famous library in Alexandria. Even Umar’s generals had hesitated to burn down that famous library, that housed all the works of Euclid and so many other renowned Greek and Roman scholars. But no, the idiotic Umar issued instruction that whatever that library may hold, already exists in the Koran; and if it is not in the Koran then that library is blasphemous and therefore, in either case, the library of the Greco Roman kafirs had no right to exist.

And such was also the argument for destroying our ancient edifices by Islam’s barbaric hordes and they gloated over it. The fires burnt down the books and scriptural records of the Nalanda totally. And it did not take place in a day; it took six long months to burn it down. There was so much knowledge in there. One room of that library contained two hundred Deobands’ archives. And then of course there was the usual killing and raping. All the non-violent Buddhist Bhikkhus were slaughtered and the Buddhist nuns were carried away, some to be sold in open markets, some to serve out their days as slave women very much like what they did in East Pakistan now Bangladesh with Hindu and Buddhist population there.

Well, the British made out their game plan. They were going to take sides with the Moslems now. They financed the Anglo-Arabic College which eventually became the notorious breeding ground of traitors, the Aligarh Muslim University. Hindus had not a single University where they could pursue their traditional education. In this entire Bharatvarsha, which had been the lodestone of knowledge and culture for scholars of many lands, today, the British bastards and Moslem marauders, had seen to it that the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains, in short the entire gamut of the Hindu Commonwealth of religions, went without any instruction to call their own!

So, this good man, Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya set out to collect funds for the Benares Hindu University. The British of course would not shell out a single penny. They were sucking us dry but all that wealth went to London, either as the tiara for their King or Queen or for gold to be stashed away in the vaults of the Bank of England.

Pandit Malaviya went to the native kings of India. There were hundreds of them. Most were Hindu kings and there were some Moslem nawabs too. The country was seething with the spirit of freedom and Gandhi’s ‘Hindu-Muslim Bhai-Bhai’. So, in that spirit, Pandit Malaviya made up his plans to visit all Hindu rajas and Moslem nawabs.

He collected the money, the donations that the small kings and nawabs gave to him. He found out that richer the king more miserly he was. It was the smaller kings that gave the most. In the case of Hindu kings the situation needed little coaxing as they all knew about the background, the reasons behind Pandit Malaviya’s enterprise. Small nawabs toed the line and donated some money out of a team spirit. All was good or fair so far.

Then one day, Pandit Malaviya visited the Nizam of Hyderabad (a city whose true name is Bhagnagar, which the barbarians altered by force like they did at Prayag by calling it Allahabad or city of Allah) and after some waiting he was brought before the Nizam. The Nizam asked him what was the money for. He was not worried how much money was required but the Nizam, the protector of the faith of Islam had to know, for what purpose the money was being raised!

Malaviya explained to him that the Hindus needed an authentic seat of learning that would impart knowledge from the sacred texts of Hindu religions. The Nizam had the gall to offer one of his chappals (or sandals) to Malaviya. The Brahmin cannot be blamed if he felt insulted. With exemplary self-control, Pandit Malaviya stooped down and picked up that single chappal, put it in his satchel, bade good bye to the Nizam and went his way. The Nizam gloated among his courtiers about how well he insulted the kafir bastard of a Brahmin. He reminded his men that it was against the laws of Islam to donate funds for the construction of any institution meant for the culture, religion, customs etc. of the infidel. The purpose of Islam was, on the other hand, to destroy the roots of kufr or idolatry. Anything that even remotely smelled of kufr should be destroyed and that is what Islam teaches the momins or believers. The Nizam was happy and proud that night and his courtiers, all descendants of local Hindus, either converted by force or seduced with money, clapped and shouted “ala’, ala'” to indicate their approval of the Nizam’s action but in reality to keep their jobs secure.

Now what was Malaviya supposed to do with that stinking chappal of the Nizam? Many of his followers were very angry and wanted to take revenge by hitting the Nizam’s men. Malaviya explained that he had nothing against the Nizam’s men. He had something against the Nizam’s uncouth conduct and that he would, in good time, take his revenge, a noble revenge. Madan Mohan Malaviya continued his sojourn, from one door to another, from one king to another. The old Brahmin was undaunted and whenever someone asked him what did he receive from such and such king, the Brahmin told the plain truth, for among the native kings too there were the big and the small. The small kings wanted to know how much the big kings gave. That was quite natural. But when the story of Nizam’s donation of the single used and old chappal came to be known, that became a scandal. Even small Muslim nawabs were scandalized at the behavior of the Nizam. One even called him a bastard, which apparently the Nizam was, and that he was a traitor and had sided with the British against a compatriot, etc. etc. The stink spread and eventually it even got inside the Nizam’s harem. The fan inside the harem was stinking too as the shit had hit it in due course. It was said that even the British, the real bosses of the Nizam, disapproved of such ‘unroyal’ conduct of a man that the mighty British had helped to set up as a king! The Nizam, the protector of Islam in his land where 90% of the population were Hindus, began to feel the heat among his subjects. They did not approve of such an insult meted out to such a good man, only because he was a Hindu Brahmin.

Nizam sent out his emissaries in secret to contact Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya. But Malaviya had other customers now who wanted to hear the story of the Nizam from the old Brahmin himself. He just could not come at the beck and call of a boor who had nothing but a single worn out chappal for him as donation for the Hindu University!

No one really knows how the Nizam made up with the Hindu Brahmin. The story goes that the Nizam in the end gave him a sizeable donation for the Hindu University, not because he wanted to help
the old Brahmin in his endeavor to build the seat of education but to silence the criticism in the entire land, a criticiem whose primary cause was the Nizam himself. Apparently, his descendants had later modified their stance somewhat.

In a write up in his columns titled With Malice Toward One And All…by now the notorious quasi-pornographer Khuswant Singh wrote that Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh and last Nizam of Hyderabad followed a slightly different creed from what passes off as undiluted Islam of the Koran; he followed what Singh calls Asifia creed. And apparently the seventh Nizam used to say:”Whatever may be the religion of my house and my personal beliefs, I am, as a ruler, the follower of another religion as well, which must be characterized as love toward all; because under me live people of different faiths and different communities and the protection of their houses of worship has for long been part of the Constitution of my State.”

That of course has to be taken with a big grain of salt, more so when coming from the author of Delhi. In order to avoid such embarrassment, Islam continues its fight so that there is no such different faiths and different communities, that they are all decimated totally, thus obviating the need for such protection of infidels’ faiths. And, if what Khushwant says is true, why, pray did the Nizam encourage the Razakars to rebel against the land knowing full well that the overwhelming Hindu population would not go for that? The seed of another Kashmir was nipped in the bud, not by the likes of Khushwant Singh or even the philanderer Nehru but by the simple Hindu folks of our ancient land! And men like Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya have helped to keep the flame of patriotism burning!
