The Honorable Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, US President WE wish you all the success during your ensuing visit to India from 7-9 September 23 to attend the G-20 Summit and hope that your hosts will not exploit your presence as a license to commit genocide of Muslims in India (as was done in Delhi riots when Donald Trump visited India on 24-25 February 2020. The 2020 Delhi riots were multiple waves of bloodshed, property destruction and rioting in North East Delhi, beginning on 23 February 2020 and caused chiefly by Hindu mobs attacking Muslims. Of the 53 people killed, two-thirds were Muslims who were shot, slashed with repeated blows, or set on fire. More than a week after the violence had ended, (hundreds) of wounded were languishing in inadequately staffed medical facilities and corpses were being found in open drains. By mid-March 2020 many Muslims had remained missing.
Now it is becoming a recognizable pattern that whenever an American President announces his visit to India, a physical and social genocide of minorities (read Muslims) is unleashed in India. A few weeks before your start of the September 7-9 visit to India Hindus and BJP government in Haryana province unleashed an unimaginable genocide and atrocities against Muslims by burning alive Muslims, mosques, properties and bulldozing of residences and businesses etc. These inhuman acts were widely reported by the international media, and a few reports are provided below:

No one can forget the old Indian practice and the established pattern of sucking blood of its minorities for terrorizing them on the eve of visits of the US President, when (as reported by the NY Times) the murder of 35 Sikh villagers in a place called Chittisinghpora.
This massacre, occurred on the evening of 20 March 2000, preceded Clinton’s arrival by only a few hours. It was a monstrous way to transmit a message, whatever that message was, and the scale of the killing was large even amid the exceptional sorrows of the Kashmir Valley. The slaughter was also remarkable in that the victims were Sikhs, a religious minority never before targeted during a bloody decade infused with grief. In the aftermath, the valley’s 60,000 Sikhs faced the possibility that they were now someone’s strategic quarry and that a mass migration might be a sensible reaction to the danger.
However, as the whole world knows and we hope that the Indians also know very well that this US President named Joe Biden is a different man, who will never mince his words and actions when there was a question of Human Rights.
Here we remember your quote just a year ago of 15 July 2022 as below: ‘For an American President to be silent on an issue of human rights, is this consistent with — inconsistent with who we are and who I am? I’ll always stand up for our values.’
However, in this regard, provided below are few world level important statements (in the US Congress and at the EU) after their findings and extensive research; need your immediate attention and subsequent actionable statement, in line with your above quote, truly reflecting your policy, tradition and values. a). Genocide Watch, 28 Jan 2022
Dr Stanton Notes Early Warning Signs of Genocide in India, Gregory Stanton, President of Genocide Watch Interviewed by Karan Thapar for The Wire, India.
One week after briefing the US Congress, where he warned Congress that “genocide could very well happen in India”, the Founding President of Genocide Watch has said he’s asking “the US Congress to pass a resolution that warns that genocide should not be allowed to occur in India”. Dr. Gregory Stanton also said: “(President) Biden should tell (Prime Minister) Modi that if genocide occurs in India, it will require the US to reassess all our relations with India.”
In a 28-minute interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire, Dr. Stanton said that although his organization, Genocide Watch, does not rank countries, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum believes that, India is the second most likely country for a genocide to happen in the coming year.
In the interview with The Wire, Dr. Stanton said, “the early warning signs of (genocide) are present in India.” Referring to Genocide Watch’s ’10 stages of genocide’, he said several of the stages have been fulfilled in India. The ones he identified are classification (distinguishing between people as ‘us vs. them’ and ‘othering’ them), symbolization (identifying people by the clothes they wear or calling them abba jaan), discrimination (the Citizenship Amendment Act), dehumanization (calling them termites and foreigners who should go to back to Bangladesh) and polarization (accusing them of ‘love jihad’ and discriminatory laws against conversion and inter-marriage).
On top of all this, he said that at Hardiwar on December 17, there were actually calls for genocide, which he added, were crimes of incitement to genocide under the Genocide Convention, to which India is a signatory.
Dr. Stanton said, “Just because a country is a democracy it’s not impossible for a genocide to happen.” He cited America’s own example where, he said, genocide was carried out against Native Americans and against African Americans during the slave trade.
Dr. Stanton said whilst it’s not his view that genocide is happening in India at the moment, his fear is that the stages that lead to genocide, what he calls the early warning signs, have occurred. “Genocide is not an event. It’s a process. It develops,” he said.
Dr. Stanton said if genocide happens, “it won’t be committed by the state, but by mobs organized by RSS and BJP militants who will lead it.”
Speaking specifically about Prime Minister Modi, Dr. Stanton said he has told the US Congress that he believes the Prime Minister encouraged the 2002 Gujarat massacres of over 1000 Muslims. Modi has also used anti-muslim rhetoric to build his political base. “He has a record, (and) he has to answer”, he said. “He needs to be accountable.”
Speaking about the Prime Minister’s silence – a month has passed since the Dharam Sansad and the Prime Minister has not spoken a word – Dr. Stanton said: “He is the Prime Minister of India. He is the leader of the country. He has a moral obligation to denounce hate speech.” He added, “leaders have a responsibility to not remain silent.”
Asked by The Wire how he interprets Mr. Modi’s silence, Dr. Stanton quoted Martin Luther King, Jr., who said, “We will know who is against us not by what they say, but by their silence.” Asked by The Wire if he was saying Mr. Modi’s silence damns him, Dr. Stanton replied: “It sure does”.
In 1989, five years before genocide happened in Rwanda, Dr. Stanton forewarned the president of the country that maintaining ethnicity on identity cards would become a tool for genocide. He told President Habyarimana that if he didn’t prevent it, Rwanda would have genocide within five years. Five years later that is precisely what happened.

As you know Sir, the charter of the UN specifically allows the subjugated population to wage struggle for the Right of Self Determination, but India has cunningly projected Kashmiris of the IIOJ&K’s struggle for their Right of Self Determination against the Indian occupational forces, as terrorism, to mislead the West, which was the easiest way to distract the champions of Human Rights, like you Sir. Here, the below given proof of unequivocal statement (link provided below) in the Indian parliament by the son of the Maharaja of Kashmir is no doubt that Kashmir was never integral or non-integral part of India and that Kashmiris are justly struggling for their legal right of self determination as per the charter of the UN and the UNSC resolutions on Kashmir. So, the Indian manipulation of branding their struggle as a terrorism, is it self a violation of the UN charter and makes India culpable for trying under the war crimes tribunal.
Speech at the Indian parliament by the son of Maharaja of Kashmir:

In this regard, kindly peruse at the link given below the best ever and most authentic and voluminous chronically compiled details, about the genocide and Human Rights violations worse than committed by the Germany of Adolf Hitler, which includes killings, rampant rapes used as a weapon of war, abductions, torture (which was broadcast over loud speakers to terrorize the population of the area), scorch earth policy by destroying the fruit gardens and causing mass scale blindness to the Kashmiri kids, youth and the entire population at a scale never ever witnessed in the HUMAN HISTORY.
Moreover, the latest revelations made by Satya Pal Malik former governor of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (Link provided below) proved how, besides the bogey of terrorism to suppress the Kashmiris, the Indian government of BJP/Modi killed its own 40+ soldiers to create a narrative of false flag operation, to find an excuse to launch military attack over Pakistan, just for petty objective of getting popular votes (in general elections 2019) of its Hindu population. In this regard, who else better than you know the facts that this Indian misadventure brought India and Pakistan (both nuclear power) how much close to an all-out full-fledged war. https://youtu.be/LYUbBAlGq-I, https://thewire.in/government/watch-karan-thapar-satya-pal-malik-narendra-modi,

Sir, it is hoped that after going through the complete compilation of the war crimes of India provided at the links given above, you as the biggest champion of the Human Rights will take up with the Indian leadership this grave matter (which is a fit case of war crimes trial) of Holocaust type genocide of Muslims in India and Kashmir. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has already ruled that the principles underlying the Convention represent a PREEMPTORY norm against genocide that no government can derogate.
The Genocide Convention authorizes the MANDATORY jurisdiction of the ICJ to adjudicate disputes, leading to international litigation such as the Rohingya genocide case, dispute over the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and recently in March 2020 Senior judges at the international criminal court have authorized an investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan, overturning an earlier rejection of the inquiry. The ICC investigation will look at actions by US, Afghan and Taliban troops. It is possible, however, that allegations relating to UK troops could emerge in that process.
https://amp.theguardian.com/law/2020/mar/05/senior-icc-judges-authorise-afghanistan-war-crimes-inquiry. Now, the question arises that If US, U.K. and Russian troops can be investigated under the genocide conventions for much lesser crimes, why not the Indian government and its functionaries be investigated for much worse genocide and serious war crimes which are very well documented in the book titled ‘Gujarat Files: Anatomy of a Cover Up’ which is a journalistic book about the 2002 Gujarat riots authored and self-published by Rana Ayyub, which can be down loaded free of cost at: https://www.pdfdrive.com/gujarat-files-anatomy-of-a-cover-up-e196474650.html and tons of other documentary proofs of International and Indian organizations and personalities as detailed above in the link titled India is a fit case to be expelled from the G-20 ?
Now when India wants permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council it must immediately comply with the UN GA Resolution 45/130 (which stipulates Right of peoples to self-determination/Struggle by all means https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-184801/ and India’s commitment with the world at large at the UNSC, as well.
Moreover, India must also pay war crimes reparations to the Kashmiris and Muslims living in India and face the inquiries of the international criminal court. In conclusion, we implore you to leverage your position and influence to initiate dialogue with Indian leadership concerning these pressing concerns. The evidence presented and the voices that have spoken out underscore the gravity of the situation. Your unwavering commitment to justice and human rights serves as a beacon of hope in a world marked by challenges.
