Are Quran and Geeta More Important Than A Human Life?

A Quran gets accidently burned in Afghanistan. Obama apologizes. It was a mistake. Karzai is offended but he accepts the explanation and the apology. But what about the aam aadmi in Afghanistan? What they should have done was gather around the US embassy with placards and shouted slogans. Maybe even burn Obama in the effigy. After that they should have gone home. After all, accidental (or even deliberate) burning of Quran will not shake the foundations of Islam. But what really happened? Taliban from Pakistan entered the picture, the protests became violent and dozens of poor Afghanis died. The topic to ponder is – Is the sanctity of a religious book more important than a human life?

Hindus have gone through centuries of abuse. Muslim marauders destroyed everything we held scared. Our temples were burnt and converted into Mosques. Who knows how many of our holy books were destroyed. Then came the British with their subtle ways of destroying us. They raped us for couple of centuries. They inflicted their culture and ways on us. But, did it destroy Hinduism? No.

Look at the Jews. Their numbers were far less than us. They went through a holocaust. I am sure that the Nazis did not treat their temples and the Tora with any kind of respect. Did that destroy Judaism? No.

The point is that all religions have strong foundations and will be there well after the followers are gone. It is the faith and the belief that makes the religion strong. The religious books, which carry the message, are just that. Books. Their destruction will not harm the religion. What destroys a religion is lack of faith not destruction of books.

What about the emotions and sentiments of the followers? When someone puts a picture of Ganpati on a toilet seat, it is hurtful and we should protest. But there are ways to protest. If a book gets burned, then it can be printed again but a human life is gone forever. With that in mind, our protests in matters of this kind or for that matter all the kind should be one which shows our resolve, faith, strength of character and civility not our inner beast. I wrote the following on our blog in regards to MF Hussain and his depiction of Ma Saraswati.
Even as a Hindu, when I saw the picture of a so called art piece where Jesus Christ was shown immersed in urine, I was offended. The guy who made that had only one thing in mind and that was offending all the religious conservatives in the US. Despite of that grossly offensive piece of puerility, the artist was not harmed in the US. He was just ignored. That is what we should have done to M F Hussain. He should have died an ignominious death in complete anonymity instead of getting feted by the entire left wing of India (of course that speaks volumes of them).
Islam and to some extent Christianity have always been the aggressors. These religions in attempts to expand have inflicted unspeakable cruelty on the non-believers. Christians now have mended their ways and resort to other tactics to meet their ends. They have come to believe that the foundations of the religion are strong enough to withstand onslaughts by liberal perverts. However, Muslims are still very insecure about their religion. Even the slightest provocation brings out the most worst in them. It is upto their religious leaders to correct this. Instead of provoking the Muslim aam aadmi to meet some political end, they should actually respect the lives of their followers and refrain from provocations, which result in deaths. Until that happens, we will continue to see what we are now seeing in Afghanistan.

I would like to remind the Muslims a powerful line in a poem by a Muslim Sufi poet.
Kis-waleya ka Majnu-nu, O teri Laila disdi kaali we!
Majnu ne jawab ditta, O teri ankh wekhan-waali we!
Je tu dekhe meri ankh naal, Teri surat na jaaye samhaali we!Ved bhi chitta ter Quran bhi chitti, Vich shyahi rakh ditti kaali we!Ghulam Farid jitthe ankhiyaan lagiyaan, Utthe kya gori, kya kaali we!
The highlighted line means that both Ved and Quran are blank pages until we put black ink in them. Of course the poet is using that line to prove that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but we could take home a different message from it.

Bollywood and Indian Culture

Is there anyone out there who believes that Bollywood is a true ambassador of Indian culture? I have never believed it to be the case. Bollywood has not done anything of late to prove me wrong. I will try to make a case here that not only do they not represent our culture but also their desire to peddle to the lowest common denominator of the society to make easy money makes them peddle stuff, which is out to destroy our culture.

Movies made by Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Adoor Gopalakrishnan and their contemporaries in Bollywood made movies that represented India well. Even the Bollywood potboilers prior to the 1990s with its melodrama, seemed innocuous and in tune with sensibilities of a typical house hold. Something happened to Bollywood on it’s way to today. Let us examine.

Movies of today make you uncomfortable if you are with your parents or children. Sleazy dances with white women (what is with the Bollywood obsession with white women? Is it our slave mentality at work here?) are all over the place. The lifestyle depicted in these movies is often that of unbridled promiscuity. If a non-Indian watched these movies, they would think that pre and extra marital sex in India is as common as smell of garam masala. However, it seems that promiscuous behavior has become common in our urban areas. The young Indians seem oblivious to the emotional and health cost associated with this kind of behavior. We are already seeing a dramatic increase in divorces. AIDS is already an epidemic with Hepatitis C ready to claim the throne of the biggest killer. Cervical cancer is also associated with unprotected sex. Can I really claim that Bollywood is causing our young to divorce and have promiscuous sex? NO! However they are not helping the matter by repeated portrayal of this kind of behavior as the norm.

Idol worshipping goes hand in hand with movies. In Amitabh Bachchan’s heydays, you could see youngsters copying his hairstyle all over the place. Emulating his clothes and mannerisms were part of one’s growing up. However his movies were still tame compared to the smut being peddled today. It is one thing to copy the hairstyle and entirely different to copy the lifestyle of the stars. Idol worshippers try to copy the easy and not the hard stuff. No one got inspired to take on twenty men because he did so in Deewar. However, one cannot claim the same about the unbridled sex shown in today’s movies.

Stars of yesteryear were not exactly paragons of virtue. Maybe it was because of lack of media coverage that Indians were protected from their bad behavior. Today’s stars like Salman Khan are nothing short of criminals. In any other country, the man would have served significant amount of time in jail for vehicular manslaughter or domestic violence but not in India. He has gone from strength to strength thanks to our ever-forgiving audience including the Hindu middle class. We are bearing witness to Saif Ali Khan’s violent behavior (what else do we expect from a man whose name means sword of Ali). He seems to be an unstable person with a violent temper. However he has the money and star power, not to mention a mother with ties to the pseudo secular politicians. I can bet that the Indian establishment is going to ensure an honorable exoneration from his latest violent escapade and audience are going to forgive him and make his forthcoming movie a success. Bravo India!!

Then we have the reality shows, which seems to have lowered the level of sleaze if that were possible. Now we have porn stars becoming mainstream celebrities thanks to shows like Bigg Boss. Sonny Leone has now been hired to act in a mainstream movie by Mahesh Bhatt who never ever misses an opportunity to spew venom against the Hindu aspect of our culture. This sleazy bastard made one good movie and since has done nothing but soft-core porn. Of course if he is still in business then we only have the audience to blame.

We have always had Muslims dominating Bollywood. However in days past, they kept their fanaticism under wraps. They looked and talked like everyday Indians. But in today’s India, they seem to be emboldened by the power of pseudo-secular establishment. Shah Rukh Khan seems to be dropping his Insha-Allahs all over the place. In the latest Filmfare awards (what a crock of shit that was), he greeted AR Rehman with Asalaam Aleikum and was greeted back the same way. Rehman went on to say Alhamdulillah on the stage, which is essentially the same vein as Allah Ho Akbar. I wonder what would the reaction if someone went Bajrang Bali Ki Jai ho on such a stage? If anyone has seen Anurag Kashyap’s Black Friday to the end, you know what the reaction would have been. A true blue leftist liberal, Kashyap depicted the Kar Sevaks around Babri Masjid as caricatures of Hanumanji. Essentially Monkeys. Of course he showed the bombers of Mumbai as men who were normally reacting to the goings on in Ayodhya.

Therefore in my opinion, majority of crap coming out of Bollywood is not representative of Indian culture at all. If anything, they are either actively destroying it (like Kashyap and Nandita Das) with their unfair and biased portrayal or indirectly like today’s mainstream moviemakers who are peddling smut.

Of course the ultimate responsibility of this perversion lies with the aam aadmi. If no one watches these movies then the moviemakers will be forced to respond. If we boycott the movies of criminal stars then the producers will get the message. If we do not fulfill our responsibility and succumb to Salman Khan’s antics then we have no right to be outraged by his bad behavior. After all, we enable him.

Should India Help Baluchistan?

It is clear to all but the liberals and the jhola brigade that all our security problems are due to Pakistan. They are behind every hot spot either directly or indirectly. They helped misguided Sikhs in the 1980’s to their nefarious ends. Now they are using the Maoists, which was confirmed by Assam CM who is a Congressman. It is also clear to all but the ideologically blind that our government has no clue of how to deal with. Vacillating between hollow threats and repeated and unrequited peace overtures, they are confused.

Instead of threatening a crazy nuclear armed country with no political will to back it, we should strengthen RAW and their dirty tricks department. We used to have an extremely effective RAW but that pakiphile IK Gujral dismantled it. What a mistake that was. It takes years to develop human intelligence capabilities and misguided liberals undid it. A department like that can raise the cost of doing terror for the Pakistanis. It is the old “you send one of mine to the hospital, I will send one of yours to the morgue” adage. A country like Pakistan is rife with fault lines waiting to be exploited. We have written on that topic on this blog. I proposed a division of Pakistan into five parts (of course in discussion with my friends) long time ago. Later on, security experts and journalists after 9/11 expressed the same sentiments. After getting railroaded by the Pakistanis, US lawmakers are now proposing that Baluchistan is a candidate for freedom. That state has been abused and destroyed by the Panjabi dominated Pakistani establishment and military. They have used heavy weaponry against Baluchi insurgents. They have been doing this since the formation of the country. Except for India, the world stood by and did nothing. Eventually we also abandoned them.

The Americans have turned a blind eye to every one of Pakistan’s crimes. Now that they are feeling the effects of it, they are proposing an alternative approach. Dana Rohrabacher, who used to be extremely pro-Pakistani, said the following:

"Baluchistan deserves our attention because it is a turbulent land marked by human rights violations committed by regimes that are hostile to America's interests and values," Congressman Dana Rohrabacher said at a Congressional hearing.

Stating that Islamabad has refused to concede any legitimacy to Baluch nationalism or to engage the Baluch leadership in serious negotiations, Rohrabacher said:"Its response has been based on brute force, including extra-judicial killings." Congressman Ted Poe from Texas said that the current situation in Baluchistan fits into the category of self-determination.

It could be that the Americans are trying to threaten the Pakistanis with the second division of the country hoping to force them into compliance. It also could be that if Baluchistan becomes a free country then that would open another route to Afghanistan, which will bypass the Pakistanis. Of course the Americans are doing it for their self-interest. Now the bigger question is, should we also do the same i.e. do something for our self-interest?

Yes we should. Baluchis (and to some extent the Sindhis) have always been friendlier with us than the Punjabis. There are still functional Hindu temples in Baluchistan but none in other parts of Pakistan. If Baluchis form their own country, Pakistan’s coastline becomes a lot smaller and thus makes them vulnerable to a superior naval force such as ours. Pakistan will lose a lot of their natural resources and thus will become more amenable to trade.

Even bigger question is- what can we do to help the Baluchis? All we need to do is to look at old reports of the RAW. Moreover, if the US does the heavy lifting then we should be there to help them out especially if we can do it with enough deniability. Continued diplomacy with the US, Iran and Afghanistan will also be beneficial. Other than that, I am sure that the IFS guys, who are much smarter than I, can come up with other ways. It is important for our Baluchi friends. It is important for India.

The Importance Of Muslim Votes In India

High growth rates and a tendency to congregate has given rise to areas with a high Muslim percentage. Add illegal migration from Bangladesh and you have a recipe for disaster. Border areas of West Bengal aka Poschim Bongo now have Muslim majority areas, which used to be Hindu majority. A report says:

In Malda, Muslims stood at about 50 percent of the total population in 2001, Hindus at 49. In North Dinajpur, Muslims constituted 47 percent and Hindus 52 percent. Murshidabad has Muslims at 64 percent far outnumbering Hindus at 36 percent . In the 1951 census they were 55 percent and Hindus 45 percent . In Malda, too, the share of Muslim population has risen over the years from 37 percent in 1951.For the state as a whole, the percentage of Muslim population grew from 20 to 25 percent between 1951 and 2001. That of Hindus dropped from 78 to 72 percent . Among the districts, Birbhum has 35 percent Muslim population and South 24 Parganas 33 percent , both higher than the state average.

We have similar population dynamics in Bihar and to a somewhat lesser extent in the entire country. There are reports that the Communists in Poschim Bongo encouraged illegal immigration because Muslim dominated areas were their votebanks. Needless to say that this makes the Muslim votes very crucial to win elections because a typical Muslim vote is not decided by the voter but by the demagogue leader he or she follows. We are seeing examples after examples of that in UP which is the most crucial election before the 2014 elections. As I have said on this blog that no trick is too cheap, no low is too low for politicians to win that votebank.

Salman Khurshid and his wife have single handedly violated any and every norm of fair elections by promising reservations for Muslims. They have to do it. They are realizing that if they do not form the government in UP, Rahul Gandhi’s chances of becoming the PM in 2014 become infinitesimally smaller. He has been a major disappointment to the average Congress worker. The very fact that Priyanka Gandhi is out there with her children asking for votes. A sleazy and a cheap trick indeed. Speaking of shamelessness, what about the pronouncement that Sonia Gandhi bitterly cried when she saw the pictures of Batala house encounters? That was done to appease the Eastern UP Muslims where they have enough votes to influence the outcome.

Besides reservation, the Congress refused a VISA and protection to Salman Rushdie with an eye on UP elections. They have unleashed yet another investigation on Bhai Narendra Modi. Another sleazy trick to win the Muslim votes. Mr. B Raman whose analyses are always apolitical says the following:

It is no longer a case of the law taking its own course, but one of malicious witch-hunt against a political leader by his political opponents and by sections of the media and lawyers and others who are not well disposed towards him. Even after having failed to prove the charges before the SIT, they are determined to keep their vicious campaign alive for political reasons and not for reasons of natural justice.
I have never been an uncritical admirer of Modi. Nor am I in the ranks of his perpetual demonisers. I have always sought to judge him as objectively as I can. It is my view that the demonization campaign against him must stop now.

I happen to be in Lucknow on the day (2009) when Samajwadi Party was holding a massive rally in protesting sanctions against Iran. Most SP voters and workers will have difficulty-finding Iran on the map and yet here they are protesting something they have no clue about. The reason – Muslim votes.

Why have we never ever caught an Indian sympathizer of Paki inflicted terror? Why do we keep on talking diplomacy with the Pakis while they keep us bleeding? Why did we not intervene in Maldives? The same reason! Now we are being told that the Home Ministry is treading delicately on the latest bombing of the Israeli interests and not blaming the Iranian involvement is because we are buying oil from them. Even if went in full support of Israelis we will still be able to buy Irani oil because they need the money and our support in matters of Afghanistan. You see, they do not want the return of the Sunni Taliban in their neighborhood and we are the only major country who would help them out in that matter. So why is Chidambaran shying away from naming the Iranis? Any guesses?

This is extraordinarily bad. It is one thing to have domestic agenda based upon Muslim votes. Now we have to forge our foreign policy because the pseudo-secular parties want the Muslim votes? This is a very slippery slope. At this rate we are going to have Sharia laws in another 50 years or so. The votebank politics will achieve what Pakistani terrorism could not do.

Are Religious Minorities Victims?

We have discussed Hindu-Muslim relations on this blog a number of times and have strongly believed that the Muslims are not the innocent victims as described in the media and our history books (thanks go to our Macaulayite education system). What we have never discussed are the Hindu-Christian relations because the Christians have kept a low profile and try to propagate their religion under the guise of charity and education (Convent Schools and colleges like ST. Stephen’s). Their agenda is no less insidious especially because they have the blessing of our UPA bigwigs and our middle class who are enamored by “Convent Educated Children” who can speak English fluently.

The empowerment of Christians began during the British days when they were targeting the dalits and the tribals for conversions. In Orissa, we have Kandha tribals who are and have been more prosperous and thus powerful than the Pana tribals. Of course the Baptist Christian missionaries converted the Pana tribals who saw their new found religion as a way to empowerment. Of course the whole thing dovetailed with the British “divide and rule” policy because the Kandhas and Panas are still fighting. A lot of the Christian tribals have become Maoists and are raising hell all over the place. Christians in the west think of their religion as a bulwark against Communism. I hope they find this ironic. The point to note is that Kandhas and Panas were fighting before the Panas became Christians. Yet their fights have been declared a war by the Hindus on helpless Christians. What else remains buried is that aside from help from men like the late Swami Lakshmanananda (who was assassinated by Christians) no one helps the Hindus. However, the Christians have the entire media, Congress machinery and western propaganda and money behind them. Of course the Hindu cause was not helped by the unforgivable and extreme brutality shown by Dara Singh towards the family of Graham Staines.

We keep reading these reports where as many as 1000 churches have been attacked in the BJP ruled Karnataka. In an interview with Vicky Nanjappa (I have become a reluctant fan of this guy), P N Benjamin, a minorities commission member and coordinator of the Bangalore Initiative for Religious Dialogue Says the following:

It is not correct (accusation of 1000 attacks). It is just an exaggeration. I feel there have been a handful of attacks, which were instigated by some fringe Christian groups.

He goes on to say that the bigger the exaggeration the more the money these groups get from American and other western religious groups. When asked about threats to the Christian communities from Hindus, he says:

The real source of danger to the Indian Christian community is not the handful of Hindu extremists but the self-styled saviours of Christianity who assert that they alone are the holders of valid visas to heaven and paradise.

This all sounds very familiar. You replace America and the western religious groups with Saudi Arabia, you replace Convent schools with madarsas, you replace the various dioceses with Dar Ul Uloom and you have the entire Muslim story repeated down to an identical political dynamic.
The biggest misconception that we have had so far did that despite all, the Christians are a peace loving community. But with examples of the Maoists and extremists in South India and Orissa (the ones who killed Swami Lakshmanananda that misconception must be laid to rest. With the help of top UPA leadership and the Communists in Kerala, the Christians are anything but helpless victims in India.
With what we know about Christians now and what we have known about Muslims, is there anyone out there who thinks that Religious minorities are victims of any kind. To those who disagree with me I would like to point out that if you really want to see religious minorities as victims then you should look at Buddhists in China or Hindus and Christians in Pakistan. Now those are really helpless victims.

What Is Wrong With IAS Officers?

The British did not do anything in India for Indians. Even educating us was done to sustain a bureaucracy designed to better rape India. So when the Indian Administrative Services were initiated, it was definitely not to serve the Indians. The IAS officers were brown clones of the Gora Sahibs with all the hangups. The British left but they left these Bhura sahibs to continue their traditions. Now the same IAS officers are being used by our corrupt politicians to systematically rob the nation. Of course these babus are willing partners in that robbery. Before we go any further, let us take a look at two key provisions in the sytem. As per Wikipedia:

1. The Constituent Assembly of India intended that the bureaucracy should be able to speak out freely, without fear of persecution or financial insecurity as an essential element in unifying the nation.

2. While the respective State Governments have control over them they can not censure or take disciplinary action against IAS and other All India Services officers without consulting the Union Government(Central) and the UPSC.

Our shameless and corrupt politicians have no respect for laws of the society or humanity let alone the constitution. A good officer is hounded and transferred around until he or she relents. Of course the other side of the coin is that a corrupt babu cannot be punished. Wow! What a system! Does this sound like a system, which would serve the aam aadmi in anyway at all?

Ideally the system should work and it does to a large extent. If it were not for the smart IAS officers, our ministries often ruled by abject morons will cease to function. That way a lot of governance is due to the IAS officers. However, they do not seem to be accountable to anyone and are often law unto themselves in their own realms. The IAS officers are setting records as far as stealing is concerned. There are officers with hundreds of crores of illegal wealth all over the country. They use the government machinery for personal use without any inhibition or fear. Their wives use official cars and “chapraasis” like their personal property. Recently, one of these heartless harpies slapped a policewoman when refused a pass to watch cricket.

Dan Rostenkowski was one of the most powerful Congressmen in the US who was sent to prison for scam worth $50,000 worth of stamps and misuse of official vehicles. Imagine. If we were to impose our laws with that degree of strictness, then almost all our class 1 officers would be behind bars.

The point to ponder is – how does a smart and idealistic (I am assuming that all young people have some degree of ideals) person degenerates into their current avatar? I guess it is the system, which takes them in and chews them into the corrupt crooks that we see now.

I have no suggestions, only concerns. The system, which was founded, to rule and rape India needs to be re-invented. Accountability needs to be imposed. The guilty must be fired and punished. Meritorious must be rewarded and promoted. Just like the rest of us. The IAS officers should not become demigods. They are public servants. They should never forget that.

Is Hindu Terror Real?

Vicky Nanjappa fancies himself as a crack reporter on terror and security matters. In his latest he tries to figure out why National Investigation Agency (NIA) remains clueless while probing “Hindu Terror” cases. This is what this man says in his article:
The National Investigation Agency has ascertained that the ammunition for the blasts in Nanded, Modasa, Samjautha Express, Ajmer, Malegaon and Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad were all procured from Mhow in Madhya Pradesh.

The NIA has many suspects in custody; but there are others who are absconding. It has been almost a year since the NIA was handed over the charge for the above mentioned cases, but there appears to be something wrong with the manner in which the probe is taking place as there is no concrete breakthrough yet.

The NIA probe into cases involving 'Hindu extremists' went wrong from day one. The Nanded blasts, which is considered to be the mother of these acts of terror, was badly investigated, making it tough for NIA sleuths to make a start.

Today the NIA faces the herculean task of cracking all these cases which are inter-linked. Sources in the agency told rediff.com that the foundation of the case itself is extremely weak, which is why they are finding it hard to give it closure
He considers the Nanded blast as the fount of these terror acts. Nanded is in Maharashtra which is ruled by Congress. No one can blame the BJP of impeding the investigations. In fact with UPA government at the center and secular P Chidambaran in charge of Home no one can blame lack of political will and support in all these cases. Is it incompetence? If one or two cases were bungled due to incompetence then PC would have stepped in and ensured better investigators. Then what is the reason? Nanjappa does a lot of hand waving and tries to show that somehow he has managed an answer but he has come up with a huge ZERO. I would like to remind Nanjappa of a saying by Arthur Conan Doyle who through is creation, Sherlock Holmes says the following: How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

So what is the possibility that Nanjappa and others seem to be hell bent on ignoring? Maybe there is no case. Maybe Hindus did not commit any of these blasts and the UPA government to bolster their secular credentials, want to create this specter where it is possible that Hindus are as likely to indulge in terror as Muslims. When it comes to brutality and treason, Hindus have demonstrated a remarkable propensity. But terror? From the evidence or lack thereof, it seems improbable. On the other hand the evidence to the contrary does exist.

In the most celebrated of these cases, the one that the Pakistanis do not tire of quoting was the Samjhauta Express bombing, Swami Aseemanand was arrested. The UPA government tried their best to tie him to the RSS. They thought that they would get away with blaming some hapless Hindu for this dastardly act until an American investigation and report showed otherwise. In an eye-opening article, Mr. B Raman who has stayed politically neutral says:
Thus, according to American investigators the LET and Al Qaeda were responsible for the Samjauta Express blast and the HUJI for the Mecca Masjid blast. If the American investigators, who have better sources in Pakistan, are correct, how can our investigators claim that some arrested Hindus were responsible for these incidents? Justice and fairplay demand a thorough investigation into the two different versions that have emerged from Indian and American investigators. While the American investigators have blamed the LET, Al Qaeda and the HUJI, Indian investigators have blamed the Abhinav Bharat. Both cannot be correct.
There you have it. The real reason for lack of progress in the Hindu terror cases is that the concept of Hindu terror only exists in the diseased imagination of our pseudo secular politicians who in attempts to secure their votebank and divert the attention of Hindus in the matters of extreme corruption have victimized innocent Hindus. The Hindu voters need to stop being defensive for political correctness and lay the blame where it really belongs: On the UPA government.
