The Pakistani Spectator

Indian government failed to provide any concrete proof against Pakistan’s involvement in Mumbai attacks. Despite Pakistan’s repeated requests to provide concrete evidences, including the conversation between militants involved in Mumbai attacks and Indian authorities, India is using delaying tactics by providing lists of same suspects belonging to Lashkar-e-Tayiaba (LeT) which it provided during attack on Indian Parliament. To overcome the embarrassment, Indian Intelligence agency RAW has chalked out a new conspiracy against Pakistan in which it is levelling allegations on Pakistan that the locations of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses used for the Mumbai terror attacks leads to Pakistan.

In an unexpected move after nine months India claims that investigation into the geographical locations of IP addresses led the Police to places in Pakistan, Russia, Kuwait and the United States. In this regard, Crime Branch Cyber Cell Inspector Mukund Pawar claimed that five of the 10 locations traced are in Pakistan. The Indian government disclosed that US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) gave the Indian police a list of 10 IP addresses. Indian Intelligence produced list of fake five IPs - 58.27.167.153, 118.107.140.138, 203.81.224.201, 203.81.224.202, and 203.81.224.203 and linked them with Pakistan. India associated IP 118.107.140.138 to Colonel Saadat Ullah and Khurram Shahzad from SCO Qasim Road, Rawalpindi, while another IP was linked to Sajid Iftikhar, 7th floor, EFU House, Jail Road, Lahore. The rest of the three IPs linked to World Call Network Operations, 16-S, Gulberg, Pakistan. It is interesting to note that Indian government kept quiet for complete nine months and all of a sudden came up with a proof that too with doubtful credibility as the source of information was a website. It is a mystery that from where the website got the locations from. There are many questions which need to be answered.

One fails to understand why Indian government failed to bring this evidence immediately after the Mumbai attacks incident. Ironically, immediately after the Mumbai attacks, the British government accepted that its nationals were involved in the attacks. However, the US and India continuously blamed LeT although the militants involved in the Mumbai attacks were repeatedly claiming to be Indian Mujahideen. It is unfortunate on the part of India that it did not allow the Pakistani team to carryout investigations of Mumbai attacks otherwise; the riddle would have been solved a long time back. There is a long list of suspects behind the attacks which includes US Intelligence, the Britons, Indian Intelligence, Hindu Extremist organisations, Indian Muslims, Pakistan’s Intelligence and Jehadi groups in Pakistan and India. But this is not all; Jews in India and Israel are the prime suspects who have been surfaced after striking observations during Mumbai attacks. The whole episode of Mumbai attacks resolve around the Jews and hostile Hindu elements. The story starts with a conspiracy of mass conversion of Hindus to Christianity in Indian northeastern states of Mizoram and Manipur. Mizoram has become a predominantly Christian state, while most people in Manipur follow Hinduism. At a later stage many Christians and Hindus of these states were reconverted to Judaism. Over 1,000 locals from Mizoram and Manipur sates after conversion to Judaism migrated to Israel between 1994 and 2000. Their cases for their emigration to Israel were processed by the Amishav Association. Between 2000 and 2005 many batches migrated to Israel. In 2006, a group of Rabbis from US and Israel visited Mizoram and converted their first batch of 218 Mizo tribals to Judaism. These newly converted Jews were also thought Hebrew and Judaism in detail. Following the successful conversion, new groups in thousands embraced Judaism and are in the process of learning Hebrew language. Israeli Consulate in Mumbai confirmed that a group of around 200 Indian Jews were set to arrive in Israel in January 2009, by a special flight and would be received by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert at the Ben-Gurion Airport in Jerusalem. Shavei Israel Organisation (SIO) is one of the most active Israeli organisations in Mizoram. SIO Administrator, Jeremia Hnamte has a long list of converted Jews which runs into thousands who are desirous to immigrate to Israel.

US Rabbi stationed in Mumbai had been the busiest person, authenticating the emigration cases of thousands of newly-converted Jews for approval from Israeli government. In the name of search for lost tribes, many tribes in northeast India, including members of the Bnei Menashe tribe are to be emigrated to Jerusalem. They are referred as descendants of ancient Israelites or one of the Biblical 10 lost tribes. Officials at Israeli Consulate in Mumbai confirmed that conversion from Hinduism to Judaism is gradually taking its roots but declined to provide exact figures. Such conversions took place from 1970’s. Many converts had no links with so-called Israeli lost tribes but have been accepted as Jews by Israeli authorities. One of the examples is 30-year old businesswoman who converted to Judaism in 1984 and changed her Hindu name with a Jewish, “Sarah”. Ever since then, she regularly visits the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue. Official figures suggest that there are 6,500 Jews living in India. Around 5,000 are settled in Mumbai while remainder live in Cochin or scattered in some of the bigger cities. A rough estimate suggests that between 30,000 and 40,000 Indian Jews migrated from India to Israel. Indian Jews have small representation in other countries of the world, including US and Singapore. The figure does not include those converted from Hinduism to Judaism after 2000. Similarly, thousands of Indian Hindus have been converted to Christianity who migrated to US, Britain, Italy, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ethiopia and other countries of the world. These converted migrants who are piling up in different countries pose threat to Indian Union and the very purity of religions in India. In some of the countries top positions are being given to Indian converts as a hidden strategy. Grounds are being prepared to utilise the services of Convert Card to establish future international governments in target countries. In mid-2008, writ of the government was challenged by certain Christians who on the instigation of foreign missionaries and NGOs directly confronted with Hindus. They reportedly killed a Hindu priest who was campaigning for a reverse conversion of Tribals and Dalits, who had been earlier converted to Christianity. The death of the Hindu priest angered Hindus who turned violent and intensified campaign for reconversion. US, Britain and other western countries started interfering in the internal affairs of India by condemning Hindus.

These countries gave statements such as that they fail to understand why Hindus who form such an overwhelming majority in the whole of the country, feel so threatened by some Tribals or Dalits turning Christian. They criticised Hindu system and projected that there is no respectable place for either the Tribals or Dalits. The Christians and Jewish missionaries along with some NGOs carried out propaganda that Tribals or Dalits do not even figure in the Hindu social classification in which the ‘Sudras’ are at the lowest rung. They instigated Tribals and Dalits as if they are treated as sub-humans by Hindu majority. Naturally, some Hindu hardliners felt offended and turned against Israel, US and Britain. The Indian RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) which was keenly observing the developments activated their tentacles within India as well as in other countries of the world. An attack plan was so chalked out that no body could doubt RAW and Mossad-CIA role in the attacks while the scattered evidences could only confuse the matter pointing on neighbours or wild guesswork. At this stage scattered evidences of the Mumbai attacks are to be linked together which may take some time but India is not interested to share this information. Lack of evidence gives birth to speculations, which need to be avoided at all costs. However, certain hypothesis can be drawn on which work is to be carried out to unearth those behind the Mumbai attacks.

These are Jew versus Hindus, Orthodox Jews versus Moderate Jews, Jews versus Christian and Jews versus Muslims. Pointing finger on someone without evidence is easiest thing but to prove something requires patience and hard work. The killings of two senior US Intelligence agents, US Rabbis and top RAW officers investigating Indian Military Intelligence involvement in terrorist activities points at some particular direction. It has now been confirmed that emotional charging of Hindus which led to violence against Christian and Muslim minorities in October/November 2008 was ploy of US intelligence and Jewish lobby. Their aim remained to turn various segments in society against each other. It is a high time for India to avoid unnecessary suspicion on the basis of decoy evidences as it would lead nowhere. In case India shares evidence of the conversation between militants involved in Mumbai attacks and Indian authorities with Pakistan, I am sure we can work together and trace the culprits. India must recognise the threat to its sovereignty due to direct interference in her internal affairs by US and Israel. Lesson should be learnt from Mumbai attacks and a mechanism need to be devised to weed out aliens who are committed in sowing seeds of suspicion and distrust among various segments of society.
