Jihad: The New Threat in Kerala When Hindus Slide to a Minority
Jihad: The New Threat in Kerala When Hindus Slide to a Minority
Of late, Kerala has been suffering from a new
syndrome, the Land Jihad! Known as ‘Gods own Country’, Kerala s always
been a victim of cultural and religious invasions. The state which is
already suffering from forcible conversions, love jihad, violence, increased
teenage crimes, murders, communal violence, corruption, is a shelter and
training center for terror activities well. LAND JIHAD is the latest
addition to the long and seemingly endless list.

addition to the long and seemingly endless list.
Land Jihad is a kind of
systematic attempt by Muslim Land Mafia, to own a land at any price through a
purely legal procedure. The land meant for sale will be purchased by Muslim land
owners at the market price or a price even higher than that. As a result across
Kerala, in the last 10 years, a large portion of lands now has Muslim ownership.
Nobody can go to court as nothing is illegal and nothing is hidden.

“This phenomenon was expected as Muslims in
Kerala want to widen their base when the Hindu population is declining to a
minority,” say intellectuals.

He phenomenon of Land Jihad began from Muslim
dominant Malappuram district. It has then progressively migrated across Kerala.
Kasaragod is the most affected part where largest agricultural lands of areca
palms, rice paddy were long ago sold to Muslims by Hindus, with Muslim land
dealers offering a huge price than the market value. They purchase
land in terms of acres paying crores. “To purchase such fertile land a huge
amount of money is flown from Gulf countries,” according to experts.
