A prelude to the upcoming documentary film – Crimson Crescent: The Last Quarter

A Meeting That Shook Me

It began not with a headline or a breaking news alert — but with a quiet, deeply unsettling conversation. A few months ago, I met a university professor — a man not given to hysteria or slogans. His demeanour was composed, his voice measured but his eyes betrayed something far more powerful: pain. Tremendous pain.

He told me something I have not stopped thinking about since: “The forces trying to break India,” he said, “have now matured into an ecosystem so expansive and interconnected that it includes both China and Pakistan — and elements of the global Deep State. These are no longer isolated campaigns. It is a conjoined offensive.”

Then he paused, looked straight at me and said with disbelief, “What I do not understand is how they have not succeeded yet. India should have been vivisected by now.” There was no triumph in his voice, only disbelief that we had somehow managed to hold together. He was not alone in this bewilderment. What disturbed him more was not the enemy’s aggression but our submission. “We behave,” he said, “like comatose vegetables. Sedated by shopping, distracted by gadgets, numbed by Netflix. The society that should be alert is instead consumed by consumerism.” 

And that, perhaps, is the more dangerous truth — that we have normalised a siege as background noise. That we have mistaken surviving for thriving. That conversation stayed with me. It haunts the structure of this film. The question is no longer whether a covert war is underway but why those under attack often deny its looming threat.

The Adhikari Thesis: Treason by Communist Design

As Sitaram Goel had warned, separatism is the common tongue of every alien ideology that enters Bharat — whether in the name of faith, revolution or rights.

The seeds of this fragmentation were sown not in recent years but in 1942 when Communist ideologue Gangadhar Adhikari authored what became known as the “Adhikari Thesis.” He declared Bharat a patchwork of nationalities, each with the right to secede. The Muslim League would later quote his words almost verbatim in Lahore, justifying Pakistan’s creation.

Today, that same ideological virus manifests in new avatars — pamphlets advocating a “Republic of South India,” seminars portraying Kashmir and Manipur as oppressed nations. In 2019, journalist Tina Edwin suggested that economic divergence could make the South “another country.” Manu Joseph echoed the idea in 2023, arguing in Mint that if the BJP grew stronger in the North, a Southern strongman might well ask: “What does the South lose by leaving?” These aren’t passing thoughts. They are cartographic imaginations laid out in prose — a subtle erasure of civilisational unity, disguised as rational inquiry.

A Critical Warning: The Fatwa from Deoband

On 22 February 2024, Darul Uloom Deoband, India’s most influential Islamic seminary, issued a fatwa declaring that the prophecy of Ghazwa-e-Hind — a future war to conquer India for Islam — is not only valid but obligatory. Muslims who “invade India” are promised the status of supreme martyrs and assured paradise. This statement, passed off in silence by most mainstream media, was nothing less than a theological declaration of war.

Our upcoming documentary, Crimson Crescent – The Last Quarter, brings renewed attention to the Ghazwa-e-Hind doctrine and its penetration into the ideological bloodstream of South Asian Islamism, particularly through Deobandi thought. The film charts how this prophecy, once dismissed as medieval fantasy, is now being operationalised through targeted killings, digital jihad, mosque radicalisation and hybrid warfare stretching from Kerala to Kashmir.

Killings as Doctrine

Love-Jihad Murders: Bodies in Freezers and Suitcases

According to Organiser magazine, the year 2024 alone saw nearly 200 reported cases across the country in which Hindu girls and women were allegedly trapped, tortured, converted or killed by individuals hiding their religious identity or exploiting romantic relationships. In its earlier report from June 2023, the publication had already documented 60 such fatal cases involving Hindu women. That brings the two-year tally to at least 260 victims, pointing to a deeply unsettling pattern that can no longer be dismissed as coincidence or isolated incidents. In May 2022, Delhi awoke to the horror of Shraddha Walkar, whose dismembered body lay packed in a 300-litre refrigerator while her live-in partner scrolled dating apps in the next room. 

Investigators noted a chilling common thread: each perpetrator consumed online sermons justifying violence against “infidel or kafir” women. These were not crimes of passion; they were crimes of permission — permission granted by a radical ideology that views the Hindu female body first as a convert-in-waiting and when that fails, as disposable refuse. Every refrigerator and every suitcase, is turning into a makeshift grave in this ever widening battlefield.

Saffron Cadre Under Attack

The cost of conviction is not borne by faceless entities; it is levied, with clinical precision, upon those who raise the Bhagwa Dhwaj itself. In Tamil Nadu, political violence has claimed the lives of several Hindu activists, including Vellaiyappan Ramesh, a BJP general secretary brutally murdered in Salem on July 19, 2013 (The Hindu). Sampath of the Hindu Makkal Katchi has claimed that over 120 Hindu leaders have been killed in the state in recent years, alleging that the DMK-led government under M.K. Stalin ignores these incidents due to minority appeasement. Unverified claims of 86 RSS workers killed in Kerala since 2000, including 21 from 2016 to 2022, and over 150 BJP functionaries in West Bengal since 2011 remain unconfirmed due to limited police data, with only 65 RSS/BJP deaths verified in Kerala (2000–2017), suggesting possible government suppression of comprehensive records of the alleged killings.

Shocking helplessness

Yet from the wider Hindutva movement comes scarcely a murmur and when protest does arise it is so feeble and fleeting that it barely stirs the national conscience. The plight of Hindus in Bangladesh rightly draws concern but an equally urgent ledger is being written within our own borders in West Bengal. Here it is not only cross-border infiltration but also the targeted killings of the Bengali saffron volunteers that define the ground reality. How secure can an ordinary Hindu household feel when even the organised cadre is left exposed, hunted and undefended in what ought to be their own homeland? 

Strangely, the saffron devouts are under attack on both sides of the Bengal international border, west and east — and that’s happening in the land of Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo and Bankim — visionaries who once kindled the soul of Bharat with strength, sacrifice and Sanatan pride. Today, their legacy is trampled underfoot by machetes and molotov cocktails, while those who dare to raise their flag are silenced not by debate but by death. The soil that once gave voice to Vande Mataram now echoes with cries for help — unanswered, unavenged and unheard.

Victims of unending violence

In Jammu, nine Hindu pilgrims were killed in Reasi (2024) and 24 Hindu tourists in Pahalgam (2025); in Nuh, Haryana, a 2023 Hindu procession attack killed six; and in Dakshina Kannada, unverified claims of 49 Hindu deaths since 1976 persist, with limited official data across all regions suggesting government suppression. This is not scattered violence. It is a calibrated erosion of civilisational presence.

PFI’s Blueprint: The India 2047 Plan

A dangerous plan lingers in the shadows untouched by a 2022 ban: the Popular Front of India’s “India 2047 Plan” to transform India into an Islamic state by 2047 as our film,  Crimson Crescent – The Last Quarter reveals. The NIA uncovered a hitlist of 977 Hindu targets including RSS leaders and a judge alongside combat training videos and ₹120 crore funding from Gulf sources. PFI’s strategy—radicalising Muslim youth setting up Sharia courts and gaining political power through elections—partly continues through SDPI’s activities though outfits with new names are being allegedly used to implement its agenda. 

ISI’s Hybrid Warfare Doctrine: Northeast and K2 Operations

• Destabilisation of Northeast: The ISI exploits porous borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh to smuggle narcotics and weapons, fuelling ethnic conflicts in states like Manipur. By allegedly arming groups like the Kuki National Army and leveraging local ethnic tensions such as the Meitei-Kuki clashes, the ISI seeks to weaken India’s northeastern frontier. Claims on X suggest the ISI uses social media psyops to escalate violence and recruit youth into Kuki militias.
• K2 – Kashmir and Khalistan Revival: 

The ISI is reviving separatist movements in Kashmir and Punjab by leveraging diaspora networks (overseas Kashmiri and Sikh communities in the UK, Canada and US), which provide funding, propaganda and logistical support. 

The ISI employs drone-based smuggling to deliver weapons and drugs across the Punjab border, sustaining militant activities. It also uses cyber psyops — coordinated online campaigns — to spread disinformation and radicalise youth, reigniting demands for Khalistan and Kashmiri separatism. The turmoil in Manipur and Punjab’s drone corridors is not random but part of the ISI’s calculated strategy to exploit regional fault lines. Similarly, Khalistani flags during the 2020–21 farmer protests in Delhi were not spontaneous but the result of ISI-backed operatives infiltrating protests, using social media and diaspora-funded networks to amplify separatist rhetoric and hijack legitimate agrarian demands for long-term destabilisation. 

 The Final Quarter Is Here

The Pakistan–China axis, abetted by global forces inimical to Bharat, remains the most formidable challenge of our time. The real test of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s reformist credentials lies not in gleaming megacities or billion-dollar deals but in whether Arabia can renounce its Wahhabi absolutism and become a genuine stakeholder in a plural and peaceful world. For decades, over $100 billion in Saudi funding sustained a radical ecosystem that indoctrinated generations across India, Pakistan and Bangladesh—with devastating consequences for Hindu society: riots, terror, economic ruin and cultural trauma.

Reparations, therefore, cannot be transactional. They must be transformational. What is now required is ideological reparation—a conscious reversal of the damage inflicted. This means financing de-Wahhabisation: re-educating young minds to choose empathy over enmity, dignity over disdain and to unlearn the toxic lens of the kafir. Until this moral inversion is addressed, jihad will remain an ever-replenishing fire. Yet if Arabia truly seeks a new dawn, it must sever ties with the Pakistan–China nexus and invest—deliberately and profoundly—in a renaissance of mutual respect.

Only then will the future belong not to holy wars but to the seekers of science, humanism, reason, AI and peace.
