The repulsed Turks then again arrivedinforce275yearslater,andthusbeganthe continuous onslaught of the land of Akhand Hindustan and fractured it.
Despite thereafter while fighting valiantly to defend Dharma and Matrubhoomi during repeated Muslim invasions for over seven centuries, the Hindus lost Afghanistan in AD 987, Iran in 1011; and present day Pakistan (and Bangladesh) in 1947 to Muslims.
After 1947, a truncated India i.e., the Republic of India that is Bharat, has meekly seen genocide, and also eviction of Hindus by Islamic terrorists from the Muslim majority Kashmir valley districts, not to mention the earlier exodus or forcible conversion to Islam, of Hindus from Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The percentage of Hindus has thereby dropped from 40% in Kashmir valley to less than 1%, from 19% to 1.1% in Pakistan, and from 32% to 7% in Bangladesh circa 2011. Such religious cleansing in the name of Islam has largely gone reported internationally even by bleeding heart Human rights activists.
Hence, every Union and State governments separately and collectively has a duty to take effective counter-terrorism measures, to prevent and deter future terrorist attacks and to prosecute those that are responsible for carrying out such acts.
At the same time, the countering of terrorism poses grave challenges to the protection and promotion of human rights. As part of States' duty to protect individuals within their jurisdiction, all measures taken to combat terrorism must themselves also comply with States' obligations under the Indian Constitution, international law, and in particular international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law.
Today, the nation is being called upon to resolve the conflicting demands of combating terrorism and of protecting human rights. The relationship between the two is not “linear”, but is “non-linear”. That is, it is not true that the less we protect human rights, the more we can combat terrorism. The converse is also not true. There is therefore a “optimum combination”, of measures to combat terrorism and the level of safeguards that ensure human rights. The law of diminishing return operates on this trade-off.
