Paying the price for India’s refusal to deal adequately with the menace of jihad, 16-year-old Shivam Shukla is battling for his life in in the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. He was brutally attacked by Muslim mobs.
What Happened
On Sunday, April 10, Hindus across India and elsewhere celebrated Ram Navami, a festival that marks the birth of the Hindu diety, Ram. Those who are in India often participate in ceremonial processions that usually begin from temples and pass through the city before returning to the temple or dispersing from some other significant site. Shivam was partipating in one such procession in Khargobe, Madhya Pradesh, which quickly became the target of a fierce Muslim mob. These Muslims started hurling stones and petrol bombs at the procession. Shivam was injured in this violence and collapsed on the spot.
He was rushed to a government hospital, where doctors noticed a hole in his skull and immediately referred him to a better medical facility in Indore. The boy was conscious at that time, but he lost consciousness shortly before reaching the Indore hospital.
It has been four days since then, and Shivam has still not gained consciousness. The damage is severe; his skull is fractured, and pieces of bone have punctured his brain. It has been suggested that he was struck hard by a stone thrown by the Muslim mob.
Though the fragmented bones and other foreign particles have been removed from Shivam’s skull through surgery, doctors are unsure that he will gain consciousness anytime soon, or at all. He is currently under post-surgery observation, and is in critical condition.
The youngest of three children, Shivam is the only son of his father, who is a farmer. Shivam is pursuing a diploma in Computer Science and was excited for his sister’s wedding, which was scheduled for April 17. At this moment, as doctors treating him, his family and all who have heard of his case are uncertain of his chances of attending his sister’s wedding or of completing his diploma.
Shivam is being punished for celebrating a festival in a country in which his community enjoys numerical superiority. Hindus are being attacked repeatedly, vigorously, and violently by Islamic forces and pro-Islamic institutions for celebrating their festivals in India.
Stone the devil, says Islamic tradition
They first tried less violent ways to stop Hindu celebrations. They sought bans on firecrackers during Diwali, manipulated the timings of Durga Puja, and shamed Hindus for celebrating Holi by the deft use of pop-culture icons.
When nothing worked, and the Hindus continued their festivities with revived fervor, Muslims resorted, inspired by Islamic traditions regarding “stoning the devil” and Qur’anic teachings calling for the slaying of kaafirs, to terrorizing Hindus by launching massive murderous attacks. Before every Hindu occasion, Muslims gather enormous quantities of stones, bricks, and bottles on their roofs. Some even build makeshift slings with belts and ropes to launch projectiles. When Hindu processions go past these rooftops, hundreds of stones and brickbats are shot in their direction, injuring the devotees. Videos from the riots show that women, children, and grandmothers all participate in the merriment of stone-throwing.
The trend of throwing stones at Hindu religious processions started a couple of years ago and has been repeating every year with greater vigor, resulting in increased casualties. Making progress from last year’s records, mobs of Muslims engaged heavy stone-pelting on Ram Navami processions in seven Indian states this year.
The attacks in Gujarat’s Himmatnagar and Khambhat that resulted in one death were haunting, as they were reminiscent of the 2002 Godhra carnage, which Muslim mobs also perpetrated. Muslim mobs vandalized shops and vehicles in both locations, prompting police to fire tear gas shells to control the unrest. A massive contingent of police was deployed in the sensitive areas after Muslims hounded peaceful processions arranged by Hindu groups and injured 10 participants in Howrah, West Bengal. Communal tensions also escalated in Hendlaso-Kujra, a village in Jharkhand, after Muslims attacked the Ram Navami processions, setting fire to 10 vehicles and a pick-up van. Several Hindus sustained severe injuries, and one man was reported dead in the brawl. Not one but a series of attacks were reported in Rajasthan; attacks were reported in Karnataka as well.
Breaking from the practice of handling these Islamic miscreants with kid gloves – as most state governments do – the administration in Madhya Pradesh carried out a heavy crackdown. Finding that most of the houses from which stones were thrown at processions from the rooftops were built illegally, the administration took bulldozers to these houses and razed them.
Of course, this presented the Islam-aligned media and celebrities with the coveted opportunity to play victim. Devious white-collar jihadis leaped to exploit the situation to their own advantage; some defended the attackers, stating that the Hindus had been passing through “Muslim areas.” They belong to the same group that demands that Muslim crowds be allowed to hold prayers on public roads, as well as in public parks and gardens. They also shared well-timed photos of skullcap-wearing men on social media and tried to deceive the world into believing that Muslims in India are living a nightmare under a majoritarian government. All this was a canny trick to downplay the Islamic violence that has led to one Hindu child fighting for his life on a ventilator.
Infidel says
In Shivam’s state of Madhya Pradesh, there is at least some good news – namely, that the government there has decided to follow the examples of Uttar Pradesh and Assam, which are 2 states that didn’t see any of the Ram Navami violence. Following Yogi’s example of using the bulldozer as the ultimate weapon against jihad in his state, MP has started doing the same thing. They leveled one of the houses used in the stone pelting, even though later, it came out that the house was leveled b’cos it was illegally constructed on someone else’s land
But aside from that, Hindu conservatives in India are facing the same problem that Christian conservatives in the US faced (before Trump): parties that take them for granted. Just like the GOP takes conservatives and Christians for granted (“Who else would they vote for?”), the BJP does the same w/ Hindu conservatives in India, and has been enacting its own package of appeasement politics to carve out some muslim votes from its opponents – not that it’s worked
While in the US, things improved since Trump, DeSantis, Noem and others came along, there is still work to be done to fumigate the senate, which only has a handful of standout leaders – Cotton, Hawley, Cruz, Blackburn, Kennedy, Paul. In India, things are worse, and Hindu conservatives desperately need another party to challenge the BJP from the Right, so that there is a real price tag associated w/ appeasing muslims: not only will potential Hindu voters sit out an election, but even worse, they may vote for their opponents
Another thing – and I know I’ll get pushback on this here, but a major issue is Hindus losing their street power over the past 7 years in order to showcase Modi’s government as civilized, and not a Hindu edition of the Taliban or worse. Except that that has resulted in muslims becoming emboldened, and doing things like their attacks on Hindus in several states all over India last week. Hindus need that power back, so that muslims will think 50 times before even contemplating putting together plans like rape jihad, catcalling girls who visit Hindu temples, attacking Hindus at different places, stealing cows, creating a halal apartheid economy,
Oh, and one last thing – I know that India is not the US, and I don’t expect them to copy us in each and every way. However, one thing they desperately need to emulate us on is the Second Amendment. They need to introduce that in their country, have Indian equivalents of the NRA, Gun Owners of America and other gun rights organizations and associations, and develop a system of individually centered defense
Fitna says
I have really zero sympathy for Muslims, this is what they want, an us vs them, zero sum game. No compromises, winner takes all. So when you play that game, then there’s a chance you lose everything.
There is no such thing as tolerance and living in peace with your fellow human beings in Islam, as there is in all other religions. This is what makes Islam so dangerous. But there are so many layers of evil in Islam, the smart thing to do is to wipe it out completely.
It is very foolish to have those Hindu processions without protection, knowing that Muslims are going to attack you. You get a police escort, or you come heavily armed and shoot any rock-throwing terrorists/rioters on sight. Keep shooting until they stop-they’re nothing but religious zombie hordes.
Islam is occupying non-Islamic nations and should be treated as an enemy invader, whether in India or Israel, or western nations. The message for Muslims should be to either leave Islam or leave the country. When they build their numbers in the West, the same thing will happen to us.
The trouble is that we non-Muslims are divided. If Muslims attack Jews, nobody really cares, same for when they attack Hindus, Christians, Atheists, etc because we’re all in these separate tribes. What non-Muslims need to realize is like the Nazis, when the Jews are gone they will come after the rest of us. We need unity, put aside our differences and then focus on defeating Islam.
We should also help each other in different nations-whatever is needed, the Muslims do the same. I’ve learned enough about Islam to know I want this death cult gone from this planet.

Fitna says,
“The message for Muslims should be to either leave Islam or leave the country.”
The United States should at least take the initial step of deporting all muslims who are here illegally.
Fitna says
Agreed James, but really they all need to go, Muslims are just too dangerous to have around. Or we have a vetting process where each of them need 3-5 infidels to vouch for them and if they commit a serious crime the infidel get the same sentence.
I think that’ll definitely weed out the bad ones because there are a minority of good Muslims who aren’t a threat…like a local kebab shop for example. I knew an Arab mother and daughter who were the nicest people serving there.
What’s urgently needed is an open, bipartisan dialogue on Islam where people can finally agree that Islam is a hostile, enemy ideology that falls under the laws of being a seditious entity and must be outlawed.
The US has an amazing Constitution, which if followed properly can easily safeguard it from Islam. Other western states have not made such clear rules on enemies so it’ll be harder for them to defeat this ideology, but it’s not impossible, so long as the non-Muslims unite on this topic.
James Lincoln says
Fitna,
Thank you for your reply.
I agree that the problem of islam in the United States could be at least safely “contained” if ALL US laws were followed – especially in regards to immigration.
And ALL US politicians actually followed the Constitution of United States – and their oath of office.

Agreed, James–we need to *enforce* our civilized laws.

India: Muslim mobs attack Hindus in several states during Ram Navami, 16-year-old Hindu boy fights for his life
……………
This *poor boy*. I hope Shivam Shukla survives.
God, I hate Islam.
Kashyap says
The root cause of Muslim/ Islamic terror is the dictates in Quran which the Muslims claim that every Muslim should convert a Non- Muslim to Muslim in the event of resistance , such a human should be killed. Shockingly no human rights body including UNHRC keeps mum when the basic human right ” right to live” is violated. This amounts to supporting killing of innocent Non- Muslims. With this attitude the Muslim terror kills civilized humans which puts wild animals in forests put to shame.
Andrew Blackadder says
muslims feel they have the right to pray in the streets, the parks, wherever they wish, bowing down in order to sniff the rectum of the fat fellow in front of them… sniff,sniff, they demand to be allowed to march through ”non muslim areas” but it is rather obvious their thought process is a one way street as they go bat shit crazy when somebody tells them its illegal to pray on the street and you are blocking traffic and preventing folks from getting into their homes, or when a peaceful group walks through ”their area”…
They are members of a Fascist Religious Cult 100%.
They practice Hate, Hindus practice Love.
Devasur says
This would be the case in the west soon, Politicians only care about re-elections not about the common people. So they wouldn’t mind pampering islamists for votes.
