A rare praise and recognition from a secular and leftist national news paper “The Hindu” was reported in its article titled “Do People Matter?” . It says in the article that:
“Cracking under the relentless pressure from the Hazare-Ramdev campaigns over the last eight weeks, the Government is making one mistake after another as it desperately tries to divert public attention away from Corruption. The main takeaway for the people is that this Government will go to any lengths to protect the Corrupt. Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh today alleged that RSS was behind the yoga guru’s protest action. “Right from putting up the pandal to organize the meetings, everywhere there is RSS.”
The report further states “Singh also took a dig at K N Govindacharya for choosing Ramdev for launching the anti-corruption campaign saying that this was not expected from the RSS ideologue”.
Now the logical question the Indian Aam Aadmi needs to ask is why are the other parties like The Indian Union Muslim League, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and other champions of the cause of the minority and secularism, not supporting the anti-corruption movement?
Why is the Congress and its mouthpiece Digvijay Singh trying so hard to bring a communal angle to the civil society anti-corruption movement and paint it in Saffron color?
Why do the Congress party and Digvijay Singh think that the nationalist Hindus supporters of RSS are not affected by the Corruption?
The Hindu article also stated that; “Corruption is India's number one crisis. From less than fifteen paise of one rupee of government aid that reaches to the poor to mega scams like 2G, CWG, Antrix-Devas, Adarsh, etc, to corruption on the borders and coasts that aids and assists terrorism -- improbity and deceit are destroying India”.
On this note I wish to draw the attention of our readers to a previous post on this blog where we had talked about the devious ways of Digvijay Singh where he was seen amongst Muslim leaders releasing a book called, RSS ki Sazish 26/11?
Digvijay’s claim that it is the RSS which is against the corruption movement implies something that no one seems to be noticing. The corollary to his statement is the so called secular parties like like SP, BSP and RJD are IN FAVOR OF CORRUPTION! I guess in his zeal to appease the Muslims, Digvijay may have given the ultimate compliment to the RSS and the so called communal parties. That is the trouble with talking too much. Sooner or later you will get tripped by your own tongue.
History shows that whenever the ruling Congress party or the government has been in trouble, they have sharpened their attack on the RSS by making false and baseless allegations which have never been proven. Since the present government is surrounded by allegations of corruption and bad governance. It is only to be expected that they will blame the RSS. Since we are now friends with the US, the Congress has stopped blaming the CIA for all the troubles. That leaves RSS as their favorite and the only target.
It’s the aam aadmi who has to figure out and not fall for the Congress tactics of deflecting people’s attention.
Do people matter?
One is that groups of well-meaning citizens cannot be allowed to hijack the legislative agenda; the other is that the RSS is behind the anti-corruption movement. Taking the second argument first, one must ask: even if it is true that the RSS is behind the movement, does that somehow make it illegitimate? Why is the Government trying to shift attention from corruption to the RSS? If RSS volunteers helped out in an earthquake or a flood, would that help be rejected by the Government?

Normally I have some suggestion for the problem being discussed. This is not an article of that kind. I want to use this article to convey a very deep hurt that I carry about our society. Being a father of a girl, this topic is especially hurtful.
Ours is a strange society. We worship many Devis. We fast for them during Navratri. We sing, pray and dance in worship and celebration. Culturally also, we celebrate the female form. Look at our art (folk and otherwise), sculpture and various forms of dances. Politically, were one of the first to elect a female PM.
So, at first glance, it looks like India must be the promised land for women. However if you peel the first layer, you will see the truth does not mesh with our culture and religion. The truth is painful and ugly. As a recent report on Dangerous countries for women, we rank 4th. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt are not in top five. Here is what it says on the report:
4. INDIA
Female foeticide, child marriage and high levels of trafficking and domestic servitude make the world's largest democracy the fourth most dangerous place for women, the poll showed.
* 100 million people, mostly women and girls, are involved in trafficking in one way or another, according to former Indian Home Secretay Madhukar Gupta.
* Up to 50 million girls are "missing" over the past century due to female infanticide and foeticide.
* 44.5 pct of girls are married before the age of 18.
Some of the claims in this report may be dubious because there is no way to get a real number of female foeticide. Even the other numbers could have been fudged to make us look bad. I reason why say that is the data was collected by female rights groups and they must have gotten the India data from the Indian ilk. Can you really trust Indian liberals? Never.
Having said that, I would like to say that if the number of female infanticide and foeticide is not 50 million then it must still be close. After all, we know what the Indian attitudes towards the female gender are(Manuwadi scripts notwithstanding). We know that in a lot of areas, female foeticide is a severe problem. All India parents want sons as if that will cure all their problems. It seems that most prevalent school of thought is that raising a girl and then marrying her off with a lot of dowry is not exactly profitable. Also, a non-conformist girl can bring shame to the family. What is truly shameful is that a number of educated middle class people think like that. For them and others in the same boat, I have this to say. Take a look at the third world countries and status of their women versus the status of women in developed countries. The answer is right there.
If we suppress and subjugate half our population then we are committing hara-kiri. Our religion has the same message. That is why “kanyadaan” is considered to be a “punya”.
If you want the socio-economic reason against the treatment dished out to girls in India then here is the truth. In Maharashtra, there is a doctor who has carried out 2790 abortions in six months. You don’t have to be a Catholic to be shocked and sickened by that. With selective abortions, we are messing with mother nature. Soon there will be a lot more men than women. A lot of those men who get left out, will pose a lot of problems for the country. China already has more men than women. It has already been seen that crime and other social problems are higher in the areas where there are more men than women.
I could go on and on but the fact is that the status quo is unacceptable. If we do not take care of this problem and overhaul our attitude towards our wives, daughters and daughters in law and make those attitudes commensurate with our Hindu traditions, they we should be ready for the death of India as a civilized country.

Congress has a vote bank. A very reliable one. They have won in the past and continue to win with votes from a group which comprises of Brahmins-Dalits –Muslims. Each component from the group must have a reason for their loyalty. Congress does its own thing to ensure a continued loyalty. No trick is dirty enough for them to ensure the loyalty of their vote bank.It seems that to fend off the attacks from veteran leaders from her own party, Indira Gandhi sought help from the KGB who already had most of the CPI members on the payroll. In fact things became so bad that the following was said by a KGB operative about India. I an article Mr. Swarn Anand says:
Oleg Kalugnin, who served as a KGB operative in India during the period, recorded: “We had sources throughout the Indian government - in intelligence, counter-intelligence, the Defense and Foreign ministries, and the police.
Ministers in Indira Gandhi’s government competed with each other to supply secret information to the KGB. “It seemed the entire country was for sale”.
To deflect any attention from the KGB, Indira Gandhi used to raise the bogey of the CIA everywhere. Of course to keep the Muslim votebank, the RSS bogey was raised with equal frequency and deftness. Their message to the Muslims was: “après moi, le deluge”. Muslims stuck with them and repeatedly voted for them.
With the regional parties and the advent of the “seklar” leaders like the Commies, Lalloo Yadav, Mulayam Yadav, Paswan and Mayawati, the Congress votebank lost some of their loyal voters which explains their performance in UP, Bihar, Bengal and other states. However, the Congress never forgot the importance of the Muslims voters. In fact as Mr. Anand says in his eye opening article that:
“The Congress’ sick mentality dictates that since the RSS is “behind” Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev, then Muslims beware. Now, thanks to the official gerrymandering process put in place through the delimitation process of constituencies, Muslims make a decisive force in 80 of the 543 constituencies, apart from being in the majority in 14 others. The Congress hopes to keep this segment of the voters securely in its pocket by misrepresenting the national upsurge against its corrupt governance as essentially a right-wing Hindu conspiracy.”
Muslims can make or break parties in 94 seats. That is close to twenty percent of the entire Indian polity. This becomes even worse in the light of the poor voting record of Hindu middle class. Since the elections are normally held in the summer months, I assume that few from the Hindu middle class venture out to vote in the heat and take on the long lines. That leaves the Muslims, dalits and the OBC’s who go out and vote. Since dalits and the OBC’s are the most vulnerable groups to social engineering and bribes, the election results get skewed in favor of Congress and similar parties.
By making the current anti corruption movement sound like an RSS operation, the Congress thinks that Muslims will get scared again and ignore the message because of the messenger. If this really works then I do not know who does this make look worse - Muslims or Congress.
Now it is one thing if Indian Muslims multiply at a higher rate than the rest. It is their choice, wise or not. Maybe it is poverty related or maybe it is religion directed. That is a moot point. What is bothersome is that a lot of these Muslims dominated districts in WB or Assam were caused by Congress and CPI encouragements to illegal Bangladeshis. A rediff reporter had witnessed a CPI worker giving ration cards to illegal migrants on the border itself. 24 Pargana and other districts who were like any other district in India at the time of partition have now become Muslim majority. That is nothing short of treason.
As the intrepid Mr. Francois Gautier, who has more guts and ability to see things clearly for what they really are and stand for than most Indians, says in his latest piece that the battle for Kaliyug has begun. The two passages which really stand out are as follows:
“But to my mind, it is the attack on Hindu gurus, which is the most representative sign of her adharmic reign. For in Ms Gandhi’s India, Hindu gurus are not only mocked at, but they can also be imprisoned, attacked, killed one day. Nobody would dare touch an imam if he preaches secession, nor even a Christian bishop, but gurus are fair game today.”
“Why then is he run down so much by the Congress whose leaders have gone as far as calling him a thug? Well it’s an old British tradition which has been taken up by the Congress and part of the media. French historian Daniélou summed it up well in his History of India: “The British-controlled Congress utilised to the hilt its English-speaking Press to present the Hindu Mahashaba, which attempted to counterbalance the Muslim League’s influence, or the even more maligned Ram Rajya Parishad, as barbaric, fanatical, ridiculous; and the British media in turn, took-up, as parrots, the cry of their Indian counterparts.” (Histoire de l'Inde)”
I would go further and say that the real battle is for the soul of our nation. If we do not take it back from the modern days “asuras” in New Delhi then we may as well surrender the nation to the forces of evil and migrate to the USA or Canada or even Australia where Hinduism seems to be on safer grounds than it is in India!
In this battle there is no Ram. No one is the modern day “Maryada Purushottam”. Both Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev have shown their vulnerability. We must rally behind then but we should not expect miracles. There is too much money to be made by the corrupt Congressmen for them to just quit at the behest of these two brave men. We need to defeat Digvijay Singh and his party where we really can i.e. the elections. All Hindus need to go out and cast their votes for candidates who put nation first rather than a community or a state. Congress must be treated the way voters of Bihar or Tamilnadu treated them in the last state elections. Congress and their pseudo-secular ilk must be defeated summarily in 2014.
In fact a key author of the Sachar Comission Panel Mr. Abusaleh Shariff has sounded the alarm with the Muslims polarizing in favour of religious outfits in Assam and Kerala in the recently concluded elections. He has appealed to the mainstream parties to step in to check the "unfortunate" trend. Abusaleh Shariff, who was part of the Sachar panel which ranked Muslims at par with dalits in backwardness, called the electoral development "unfortunate".
Meanwhile, the battle begins in UP next year. We need to wipe out SP, BSP and Congress from the state which is at the bottom not because of lack talent and promise but because of abysmal governance. A thorough defeat in UP will send a clear message to Congress that the Hindu voter WILL not be manipulated and bullied anymore.
That is how we will defeat the evil the nation is facing.
The politics of paranoia
Swarn Kumar Anand
The Congress is presently fighting with its back to the wall defending its body corporate as well as high and mighty leaders against wave after wave of moral attack by iconic figures of the national civil society. The party has expended every item of its otherwise efficient arsenal (lies, delay tactics, money deployment, media proxies, etc.) and is now down to its last weapon — scare mongering. What better way to do this than by playing the communal card?
The Congress’ sick mentality dictates that since the RSS is “behind” Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev, then Muslims beware. Now, thanks to the official gerrymandering process put in place through the delimitation process of constituencies, Muslims make a decisive force in 80 of the 543 constituencies, apart from being in the majority in 14 others. The Congress hopes to keep this segment of the voters securely in its pocket by misrepresenting the national upsurge against its corrupt governance as essentially a right-wing Hindu conspiracy.

A hallmark of any democracy is the freedom of expression. Any man or woman has the right to express themselves. In western democracies even expression of hate and the ridiculous is also protected. That freedom is held sacred. I agree with that. India should have strong laws protecting freedom of speech.
M F Hussain death is being mourned by liberals of all walks. UPA politicians are extolling the man as is their right. I do not mourn his death. I am a Hindu. It is against my religion to speak ill of the dead. But as Voltaire said: “To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth”. Based on that, here is my take on this man and his approach to his art.
He definitely was a talented artist. Even a philistine like me could see that. If he wanted to paint Hindu gods and goddesses, it was his right, hypocrisy notwithstanding. His right was defended by the Indian educated class. I defend his right, repugnant paintings notwithstanding. However, the Hindus who were offended by his art had equal right to protest as a long as the protests were peaceful and did not destroy Hussain’s or anyone else’s property.
I was deeply pained when I found out that he was painting Hindu gods and goddesses in the nude. My first reaction is unprintable. My second reaction was why doesn’t he paint his own religion’s revered figures in the nude. However, after I calmed down. I did realize that it was his right to do so. It is also my right to call out the man even after his death. I am protected by Voltaire’s edict.
He was a man of the street. He started his career painting billboards. He must have been aware of the Hindu sensibilities and what impact his particular paintings would have on the Hindus. Despite of that he went through with his decision. That reflects on the mindset of that man. He may have been a talented artist but he was not a decent human being. Artists are expected to challenge the norm and break barriers but to hurt an entire community of people betrays a diseased mind.
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).
Having said all that, I would like to say that a puerile man with a diseased mind , M F Hussain should have been protected by strong Indian laws. He should have remained unthreatened. You see, Hinduism which is the greatest religion in the world, can survive a worm like Hussain. He is gone and will get what he deserves in the afterlife but Hinduism will remain strong and the only guiding light to India. We should ignore annoyances like him and worry about what is truly important. India and what she stands for.
I read newspapers from all over the world. In countries like India (secular democracies) there are newspapers from liberal and conservative points of view. In England, "The Times" is conservative and "The Guardian" is liberal. In France all newspapers are liberal and Le Figaro and Le Monde are conservative. In Germany Berliner Zeitung, Der Spiegel, Die Welt are conservative while Suddeutsche Zeitung, Die Zeit are liberal. In the US Washington Post and New York Times are liberal while Washington Times and Wall Street Journal are conservative. The list goes on and on. The point is that all major democratic nations including the secular democracies of the west have media outlets, which give voice to conservatives in those nations despite of overwhelming social liberalism. That is the idea behind the concept of free and fair press. When one ideology in the newspapers overwhelms the other, what we get is a sort of ideological dictatorship, a fascistic school of thought where the other guy is derided, ridiculed, scorned and ignored on a daily basis. I suppose Nazi Germany must have had newspapers like that. TASS of USSR must’ve been like that. The government run Chinese newspapers are the kind which drowns out the voice of any opposition to the establishment. What kind of newspaper do you think we have in India? In the largest selling newspaper you are more likely to find who Sallu Bhai’s squeeze du jour is rather than the latest administrative breakthrough by the Gujarat government. You are more likely to find what Rahul Gandhi ate while riding the Shatabdi express than what the hungry children in rural UP are eating (for that you will have to read the BBC). You are more likely to find the latest anti Hindu / conservative rant by Digvijay Singh than an honest demand the aam aadmi. Indian media has got to be the worst as far as fairness is concerned. The entire English language newspapers (ELN) and most vernacular press behave like the propaganda arm of the Congress. In the latest debacle in New Delhi, the ELN has behaved most irresponsibly. It is expected from the likes of Digvijay and Kapil Sibal to say outrageous things in order to keep the attention away from Sonia Gandhi whose coterie is clearly responsible for the attack on the sleeping satyagrahis. It is also expected from the media to report those rants BUT IT IS ALSO EXPECTED THAT THESE SLIMY WORMS ALSO REPORT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY! These crooks have essentially drowned the message behind the protests while highlighting perceived weaknesses of the protesters and their leadership. First the British and then the Congress ensured that the Indian spirit and the culture, which is entirely Hindu, becomes an anathema to the so-called educated Indian (read anything by those worms from JNU). Having ensured that by a systematic brainwashing of middle class Hindus, the COMMUNAL now is the latest gaali that these pseudo-secular like to use. Terms like “commoonal and seklaar” have become part of the Hindi vernacular thanks to the likes of lalloo Yadav and his ilk. Now people who are so uncharitably termed communal can do no right in the eyes of the Indian media. If Bhai Narendra says that the sky is blue, there will be a procession led by Digvijay Singh and covered by Barkha Dutt debating that. That is the depth these corrupt media mavens have sunk to. The problem facing India is not Baba Ramdev and his empire or his escape in a saree or permit for 5000 versus 50000 people or presence of Sadhvi Rithambara on the same stage or the RSS support or Govindacharya’s / BJPs support to Baba. THAT WAS NEVER THE BLOODY ISSUE. But if you read the newspapers, you would think that the country has been run over by crazed and corrupt Hindus who are thirsty for minority blood and the only person standing between complete anarchy and existence of the Indian civilization are people like Digvijay Singh, Kapil Sibal and Sonia Gandhi! Thanks to the Indian media, the country is focused on the sideshows rather than the umpteen number of scams and the black money and all other forms of corruption inflicted on our hapless nation by the Congress and its policies. The Congress’ media management is excellent and they do a tremendous job of fooling everyone all the time. The BJP needs to take a page from Congress’ playbook and set up a conservative media empire where the voice of conservatives can be heard all across the nation rather than the small segment with access to the Daily Pioneer and the Organiser. They need a TV station, which conveys their message in the format, which has become the norm in India. They need to blend the conservative message, patriotism, love for the Hindu religion and culture into a format, which is entertaining as well as informative. Unless they do that, they will need to out-scream the Congress mouthpieces.
Most bullies are cowards too. They can dish it out but cannot take it. Drunk on power (based on less that 30% votes) Sonia Gandhi government (does anyone believe that Manmohan Singh is anything more than a human seat warmer?) unleashed Dante Alighieri’s version of hell (Soniaji must know that well from her Italian roots) on hapless satyagrahis. Not being an Indian, the concept of satyagrah must be as alien to her as self control and abstinence are to Silvio Berlesconi . Now that their calculation of dividing the supporters of Anna Hazare and Baba Ramdev and ruling has fallen way short, they are looking for scapegoats since they cannot own up to the mistake made. To that end, someone has to be sacrificed to save the Rajmata, Rajkumar and the raj-gharana.
Soniaji held a meeting of senior Congressmen sometime yesterday. Amongst the luminaries were close friend of Hasan Ali Khan (of the Swiss bank account fame), Ahmad Patel and Jagdish Tytler. Now Jagdishji does not need any introduction to anyone who has read or heard of the anti Sikh riots in 1984. He is not an MP or holds a senior party position. One can only wonder what his area of expertise is which warranted his presence at such a sensitive meeting. Of course after the meeting, as per the reports, the following was tweeted by Anil Shastri who is a Gandhi family loyalist ( I hope that he is not related to the Late great Lal Bahadur Shastri):
"What happened last night at Ramlila Grounds in Delhi was unfortunate and avoidable." Another tweet stressed, "It is Manmohan Singh govt. Was not a party decision."
Of course Soniaji is now questioning the whole action pleading ignorance from the whole thing. The lady is not a minister and yet is privy to all the national secrets. She gets to meet all the visiting foreign leaders and yet she does not know what is going on in the capital of the country she is ruling. I am sure there are a lot of people who will buy that. I feel sorry for them.
Anyway, now we know who is going to be hung out to dry for this cruel and barbaric debacle. Of course Manmohan Singh who has never won a lok sabha election (winning after becoming PM from some safe pro-Congress seat does not count) is not a politician and thus could not have seen this coming. A pawn is always sacrificed to save the queen. Who did he think he was in this dirty game of chess?
Ramdev also divides Congress and government
New Delhi: Some of the most public criticism of the government's controversial handling of Baba Ramdev is coming from within the Congress. Sources say that at a meeting with senior ministers last evening, Congress President Sonia Gandhi questioned the police action taken against Baba Ramdev and his supporters on Saturday night. Acting on the government's orders, the Delhi Police dismantled the camp that had united 65,000 supporters of the yoga teacher.
The article can be read at:http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/ramdev-also-divides-congress-and-government-110500?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NdtvNews-TopStories+%28NDTV+News+-+Top+Stories%29
Some points I would like to make on the emergency style attack on Baba Ramdev and his supporters in Ramlila maidan.
1. In any democracy, people are allowed to protest. If 50,000 gather instead of 5000 as applied, the police and the civic authorities have to make appropriate arrangements for their well being rather than carry out all out assault on sleeping protesters. A lot of them were women and old people.
2. That dishonorable Digvijay Singh who seems to take so much umbrage to the Baba’s empire does not seem to be bothered by the lavish lifestyle of the Catholic Church or the various Imams. Has this man ever done the right thing or told the truth in his entire life?
3. It seems that various Congressmen are getting all worked up about the presence of Sadhvi Rithambara on the stage. So it is OK for Digvijay Singh to appear on stage with extremist Muslims and joined them in accusing the RSS of carrying out the 26/11 attacks but RSS members cannot peacefully protest against corruption?
4. RSS is a respected organization by all India except the Congressis, pseudo-secular communists and their supporters. Even if RSS is guilty of all that Digvijay Singh daydreams about, they still have as much right to peacefully protest. We are a democracy. Not that we can tell by the way these Congress goons behave.
5. Congress has once again that in face of loss of power they would abandon even the most basic sense of humanity let alone tenets of democracy to stick to power. I thought that despite of people like the Gandhi family, Digvijay Singh, Kapil Sibal and their ilk, there were some decent people in Congress. None of them have spoken thus far. Do they even exist? Or an “honorable Congressman” a contradiction in terms?
6. Not that Manmohan Singh had too much moral right to begin with, now it is all gone. In fact anyone who calls him a clean and an honorable man should look in the mirror and indulge in serious soul searching. Maybe even seek psychiatric help.
7. We have no doubts about the politicians and their ways. When we used to watch movies about the British atrocities on hapless protesters, we used to wonder how come Indians are beating their fellow Indians on the orders of the British. Now I am wondering that how come the so-called neutral IAS officers and other babus are behaving exactly like those traitorous Indians carrying out the British bidding. In fact the Home Secretary is making statements, which make Baba Ramdev a coward. Shame on every non politician who went along with this cowardly attack on the protesters. With this, they have now joined the Jaichand Hall of Fame!!
8. The electronic media seems to have done their job properly and portrayed this without any of their usual pro-Congress bias. The print media seems to be reluctant in calling out the guilty but the op-ed authors are coming out in full force.
9. As per Mr. B Raman who almost always gets it right, Congress was trying to divide the support bases of Baba and Anna. They almost got it right. Agnivesh decided to attack Ramdev and said that he should have accepted the Congress assurances. This leftist goon hiding behind a holy garb is leech who latches on to prominent people to grab some limelight.
10. Mr. Raman is asking Manmohan Singh to do the right thing in is article. That is where he gets it wrong. Manmohan Singh does not have the power or the ability or the desire to do that. No one in Congress does. The only thing Manmohan Singh is interested in now after having failed on all fronts is to leave a legacy. What legacy you ask? It is one where he makes peace with Pakistan at the cost of Indian interests just like every other Indian PM and he will fail just like them for reasons obvious to all but the aman ki aasha brigade.
11. The real action should now happen on two fronts. The UPA government should be told by all Indian IN A PEACEFUL MANNER (after all we still believe in democracy even if they don’t) that the status quo is unacceptable. It is not about Baba Ramdev but about the nation. We should continue the protest in PEACEFUL ways otherwise we are no better than the Congress or Marxist goons.
12. But the real action which really needs to happen is TO VOTE THE CONGRESS AND THEIR POSSIBLE SUPPORTERS OUT. REMEMBER, EVERY CORRUPT POLITICIAN IS A POSSIBLE SUPPORTER. If voters of UP elect Mayawati in the next elections, they should know that she is likely to support a corrupt UPA regime at the center. After all, chor-chor mauseray bhai. The elections are the real battlefield where we will be fighting for the very soul of our nation. If all the nation-loving patriots get together and vote, then there is no reason why we cannot get rid of the parasites in charge of New Delhi.
Ramdev arrest: The prime minister should act now
When he heard that Baba Ramdev was planning to agitate on this issue in a big way, the PM should have asked his emissaries to contact him, explain what the government has already been doing and what it intended doing in future and advised him not to embark on an agitationl approach which could prove counter-productive.
Instead of doing so, the government mistakenly thought that it could benefit from the support base of the Baba to reduce the support base of Anna Hazare.

Sibal's attack on Ramdev can be read at: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/ramdev-shouldnt-have-gone-for-political-aasan-sibal/799592/
After relenting to Anna Hazare’s fast unto death and then conning him, the UPA started to think that they had dodged a bullet on the Lokpal bill issues. Especially with difference cropping in the pro-lokpal bill lobby they must be patting themselves on the back. Dirty tricks by Digvijay and Amar Singh paid off!
They were wrong. Here comes Baba Ramdev. The UPA started their moves preemptively. Congress bigwigs are begging Baba Ramdev to back off from the fast. Meanwhile the dirty tricks department of the Congress is working overtime. Scared by the large middle class Hindu following of the Baba, they are resorting to time tested “saam, daam, dand, bhed” tricks. Digvijay Singh has started to target Baba Ramdev’s wealth by portraying him as a preacher for hire. Of course not to upset the middle class Hindus whom the Congress has brainwashed these years using the pseudo-secularism propaganda, they have dug up a person described as a former guru. Some title! This man asks:
Who is Baba Ramdev, then?" Former guru, Swami Balendu, had in an open letter to Baba Ramdev, asked him this very question. He asked him to explain who he was -- a sanyasi, a yoga teacher, a businessman or a politician?
By bringing up a pro Congress self styled swami, they think that somehow this will be more credible than Digvijay’s rants. This is like bringing out those disgruntled IAS officers willing to lie about Bhai Narendra Modi. Naivety at its worst, is what it is. The Congress still does not get it. This is not about Ramdev or Hazare. They are the messengers. The message is the angst against corruption. Instead of dealing with corruption, Mr. Clean and his government are trying to mollify and besmirch the messenger while ignoring the message.
I wish Baba Ramdev all the luck in the world. He is going against one of the most corrupt governments in our history who will do whatever it takes to hold onto the power. Congress is an expert at manipulating the Indian polity. I hope that the Baba ( all his wealth and worldly trappings not withstanding) is a modern day Abhimanyu who will defeat the Rakshasas in New Delhi. Bholenath Bless him!

So now the UPA is working on “Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill”. From the looks of it, this bill is going to give the central government another stick to beat the majority community namely the Hindus. What started of as a law to prevent communal violence has now become something that people like Teesta Setalvad and Digvijay Singh dream about. Mr. Arun Jaitley argues that:
The inevitable consequences of such a law would be that in the event of any communal trouble the majority community would be assumed to be guilty. There would be a presumption of guilt unless otherwise proved. Only a member of the majority shall be held culpable under this law.
A member of the minority shall never commit an offence of hate propaganda or a communal violence. There is a virtual statutory declaration of innocence under this law for him.
The statutory authority prescribed at the central and state level would intrinsically suffer from an institutional bias because of its membership structure based on caste and community.
Upon the enforcement of the bill, he goes on to say that: The bill provides for a seven-member national authority for communal harmony, justice and reparations. Of these seven members at least four of them including the chairman and vice-chairman shall only belong to a 'group' (the minority community). A similar body is intended to be created in the states. Membership of this body thus shall be on religious and caste grounds. The offenders under this law are only the members of the majority community.
There you have it folks. Imagine a committee with four members of the minority community like Imam of Jama Masjid, luminaries from Kerala (ilk of Madani), Valson Thampu and then the non minority posts filled in by Setalvad, Sandeep Pandey, Arundhati Roy and other leftist traitors. Can you now imagine the damage these guys can do? Bhai Narendra Modi might as well apply for an asylum to Sweden right away otherwise he will be lynched by these guys. Savarkar, Bismil, Bhagat Singh and Azaad must be wondering in heaven if we had known that this was to come!!!
My soul brother Vivek Gumaste writes on the topic saying “Being charred to death in a train compartment transformed into a raging inferno by a violent, baying pyromanaical mob reeking with animosity would certainly codify one as a victim of communal violence by any lexicographic criterion (Godhra 2002). But not if you happen to be a Hindu, the majority community, you do not, according to the Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2011”.
So if you are a Hindu, you hope like hell that you do not get burnt, killed or raped by a minority community because god forbid if that gets labeled as a communal violence, you will not get any justice in our own country. Not that getting justice is possible anyways with these people in charge!
It may be worthwhile to visit the topic of communal violence because the authors of this bill assume that Hindis have never been victims of communal violence. 5000 Hindus murdered and raped in Noakhali would not qualify for victimhood under this bill. Neither would the 700 Hindus killed in the riots ensuing the Godhra station massacre of Hindus.
Now if any Hindu writes about communal violence implicating Muslims, they would be deemed criminals. So we will ignore the stats and the facts presented by Hindus. Let us focus on foreign scholars who are expected to be more objective on the matter. Vivek Bhai has dug up the following:
Steven Wilkinson, Professor of India and South Asian Studies, Yale University implicates political delinquency as the cardinal culprit.
Steven Wilkinson concurs with the concept of political complicity. In an article titled Communal Riots in India (Economic and Political Weekly. October 29, 2005) he remarks: "What causes communal riots in contemporary India? In my book Votes and Violence (2005), I argue that politicians both cause them and, more importantly, have the power to prevent them, through their control of the state governments responsible for law and order."
Furthermore in his book, Wilkinson specifically indicts the Congress Party which masquerades as the high priest of secular values: "at one time or another, Congress politicians have both fomented and prevented communal violence for political advantage. Congress governments have failed, for example, to prevent some of India's worst riots (e g, the Ahmedabad riots of 1969, the Moradabad riots of 1980, and the Meerut riots of 1987) and in some cases Congress ministers have reportedly instigated riots…"
It couldn't be clearer in its bias. In black and bloody white. The champions of secularism are really the culprits behind most of the communal problems in the nation. It boils down to vote bank politics. If a Hindu Muslim riot breaks out because of provocative statements by Digvijay Singh or lies spread by Setalvad, who do you think is going to be blamed, convicted, drawn and quartered? It will be Hindu nationalists like Bhai Narendra, you and I.
May be the majority Hindu community will only rise from its deep slumber with such harsh wake-up calls to shed its apathy and involve in widespread protest much like the 1990 Mandal Commission protest against the V.P.Singh Janatal Dal Government.
Maybe we should also move to Sweden or the US because we have a better chance of surviving in those countries as Hindus than in India.
I have been an ardent admirer of Saleem’s investigative journalism for a very long time now. I have lapped up everything he has ever written. The man was fighting snakes in their own den. Taking on the ISI / Pakistan army / Jihadi nexus in Pakistan is not for the weak. He must have had brass balls or a death wish. It seems that article he was working on before his death would have named the names of ISI officials who were in cahoots with the jihadis. A true son of his country, he fought an admirable fight and paid with his life for his efforts. When my uncle was arrested during Indira imposed emergency, I used to wonder what kind of a man takes risks like that. I was young and could not understand. Even now I do not understand but have developed a huge appreciation for such truth seekers. I wish that his forefathers had stayed in India instead of going over to the other side. It is with heavy heart that I pray to Bholenath to give peace to Saleem’s soul. REST IN PEACE SALEEM BHAI! May Bholenath bless your family!
While Saleem was out there fighting against evil forces in his country, very few are doing the same in India. Other than a few scribes who work for the Daily Pioneer like Gopinath, most of them have sold their souls for ratings and misguided loyalties to Congress and other pseudo-secular outfits. No journalist wants to uncover the truth behind the scams. They seem to have become blasé about them. No one goes out to uncover the Indian supporters of terrorism. No one questions how the politicians or the babus have become so rich. Tehelka guys do it from time to time but only to Non Congress politicians. No one is going after black money account holders in foreign banks.
Where are our truth seekers?
Where is our Syed Saleem Shehzad?
Why Pak scribe Saleem Shahzad was silenced
Exposing Pakistan Navy's link to the Al Qaeda cost journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad his life. But sources say there's more to it than what meet the eye. Shahzad next expose was on ISI men who were linked the Osama bin Laden, which left the spy agency with no choice but the eliminate him, says senior analyst B Raman.Read the complete article at:http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-why-pak-scribe-saleem-shahzad-was-silenced/20110601.htm
It is said that one should do whatever it takes to win the election and then do whatever one thinks is right. So in all democracies, this applies to election promises. They are made and then broken. All this gets justified in the name of greater good. But what about all the money which gets spent? After all that is not someone’s trust fund or family wealth. If black money is spent, which is how, it is, and then the money supplier would want something in return unlike the voter who has been lied to. This is where it gets dirty.
In the last general elections, Congress spent more than 400 crores. BJP spent more than 200 crores. That is a lot of money. We know that Congress has some of the richest MPs. They also have lines into old as well as corrupt money. They have ruled the nation for most of our post independence existence. They set things up to their advantage. That is why; other parties could not compete with them. Between HR Bharadwaj like governors, Congress leaning Election Commissioners and bureaucrats and endless money they had a comfortable run. When in trouble, there was emergency to be imposed. Congress has had no reason for electoral reforms.
BJP has become a viable and a better alternative but they need money besides impeccable credentials. This is where the BJP lose their way. They need moneymen like Pramod Mahajan who can access large amounts of money to be spent on elections. Where do the BJP moneymen get their money from? That is where the Reddy brothers come in. With wink and nods from CMs from Andhra and Karnataka, these two crooks have been selling iron ore to the Chinese and pocketing the money. Of course they have been sharing their wealth with politicians from all the parties. How else can YSR Reddy family wealth be around 476 crores? Jagan Reddy has built a house, which looks like a huge modern church. And yet the focus of media is on the relations of Reddy brothers with the BJP. Fair enough. If the BJP does something wrong, they need to be hauled over coals because they are the party with a difference. We expect Congress and others to be corrupt. However, if the BJP does not indulge in this kind of hanky-panky, then they have no prayer against the Congress.
So what is the solution? Electoral reforms are the answer. We need our own version of McCain-Feingold law, which has made American politicians more honest than they have been. I do not have any suggestions to that end. But if somehow, the playing field became level for everyone, then we will not have the need for money for bribing the voters or horse-trading after hung elections verdicts.
Links with Jagan put Reddy in spot
JaganKarnataka'S tourism minister Gali Janardhan Reddy may have scored a partial victory in his battle against chief minister B. S. Yeddyurappa, but his problems in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh are mounting. Reddy's close ties with Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy have apparently landed him in trouble with the K. Rosaiah government.

One can safely say that this has been a bad month for the Pakistanis. Fist they get caught in the worst possible lie about the numero uno terror meister living next to the Paki fauji academy. This was explained by incompetence because complicity makes them look like terrorists themselves. What a choice! Then the much-vaunted Paki army’s reputation takes a blow when the Navy SEAL 6 team with a dog enters the Paki air space, does whatever they wanted to do and walked out. In your face “hope of the Muslim world”! This was especially tough for the Pakistani populace because they always believed that all things failing, the Paki army always worked and delivered. They were also fed unadulterated crap like “one Pakistani soldier is equal to five India soldiers”. The poor people of Pakistan woke up to find that despite all that was said in the vernacular news media, the Paki army was as incompetent and rotten as the rest of the nation. I recently read that these people have been led to believe that the Taliban who are attacking inside of Pakistan are actually Hindus because they were uncircumcised. I don’t know whether to laugh at these people or pity them. Nevertheless, the carefully cultivated image of the Pakistani army took a kick in the gut from a metal tipped boot. Serves them right.
While we were still enjoying that, we find out that six terrorists walked on to a secure naval base in Mehran, Karachi, blew up two P3C Orion planes (each costing around 35 million dollars), raised mayhem for 15 hours, killed a number of naval personnel and then two of them escaped. If there was anything left as far as reputation of the Paki army, this attack took care of it. God only knows how secure are those nukes.
So what we have in Pakistan is a nation, which managed to get $ 670 million less than Bangladesh in direct investments. All in all nothing seems to be working. There are attacks every day. Anyone with any ability is fleeing the nation to go and work for the kafirs in the west. The ones abroad especially in the US who work non-permanent jobs pretend to be Indians to get a favorable treatment (we wrote about this on our blog last year). If Pakistan is not a failed nation then it most certainly is running towards the status.
Despite of all the Paki follies, the head of the All Party Hurriyat Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq went to Belgium to meet with essentially a Pakistani crowd and especially the ISI chief. This delusional demagogue is looking towards Pakistan for a solution. Does anyone think that Pakistan can provide a solution to anything? Asking them to solve anything is like asking a drug addict advice on self-control! Instead of blaming the Congress and its puppet government in J&K, they are looking in a dark abyss for light. Instead of joining with the rest of Indian Muslims especially the ones in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh and enjoying the benefits of an upwardly mobile economy in India, they are trying to cause terror to join with a basket case perhaps the biggest one in the world. More and more people from J&K are joining IAS and other such services. Hopefully their success stories will open the eyes of the younger generation especially the girls who are really tormented by the fundamentalists. Until then, we will have the blind trying to follow the really blind.
How do you spell unprincipled? C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S
If there was any doubts about the lows that this outfit will sink to for power, we can lay them to rest. Congress has a history of fomenting troubles and problems in the nation for personal gains. Communal riots are instigated for putting the fear into the minority community so that they remain part of the vote-bank. Sleazy governors are placed in states where non-Congress parties are in power. This has been an old practice from Indira Gandhi days. What Bharadwaj tried to pull in Karnataka was nothing more than a lap-dog trying to bark the loudest in order to please his master. Is there any law, rule , norm or ethic sacred to these guys? The answer is an overwhelming NO.
Now Mayawati is the reason (along with Mulayam Yadav) that a state brimming with potential is nothing more than drain on the nation’s resources. She is a corrupt person. Taj corridor case was just one of the major scams in UP. The 250 crore grains for poor scam was a smaller scam however it more than made up with its sleaze and depravity factor. Yet compared to other CM’s she is small potatoes. YSR Reddy’s son recently declared that he is worth 476 crores (Mayawati is less than 100 crores). We are still finding out how much is Karunanidhi worth. We will never find out how much are the national level politicians worth. As far as crime in UP politics is concerned, well they can match up with the worst. However it turns out that West Bengal has the highest number of criminals in the legislature. We don’t even know how much influence will the Maoists have over the Bannerjee government. And yet, to score points with the voters of UP, Rahul Gandhi was found lying about the farmer uprising in western UP with his mother in tow to bail him out. This was done not out of any love for the farmer but with next year elections in mind. Last time the Congress was relevant in UP was in 1980s. Rahul was still young as opposed to the middle aged single guy that he is now. The worst thing is that the lies he spoke were those of rape and murder and those are very inflammatory. If we were not living in a 24 hour ubiquitous media age where information dissemination is very efficient (fairness is still not there), people in rural areas would have started to protest, maybe violently to support their farmer brethren in western UP. If any blood got spilled because of that, it would have been on the hands of the Congress! Someone in Congress needs to coach this guy that words can do serious damage instead of getting you votes.
Of course if this was not enough, the UPA has confirmed the appointment of Binayak Sen as a member of the planning commission, the chairman of which is the PM. Binayak Sen has been convicted on the charge of sedition. SEDITION! It is a serious offense, punishable by death or other serious ways in most parts of the civilized world and worse in the uncivilized. Of course in India, if you are a pseudo secular liberal, all gets forgiven. If on top of all that, you are a religious minority (Sen is a Christian), you are released on bail and appointed to one of the highest civilian bodies in the country. This is an outrage to end all the outrages. Of course, as Prof. Vaidyanathan says, even though the PM is the Chairman of this commission, he will plead ignorance. Again, we have people who voted for Congress and continue to do that are to be thanked.
Meanwhile yet another indicator of the liberal hatred for India is shown by recent lies by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. This man was given permission to attend a conference on Kashmir in Brussels. All this while, I thought that Kashmir was India’s internal matter. Since Farooq who is the chairman of the APHC was given permission by the UPA to attend this conference, then the UPA must think that the conference was a genuine reason for Farooq to leave the country while denying the permission to other leftists like Dileep Padgaonkar and Siddharth Vardarajan. Imagine that. Our leftists were invited to hang out with our enemies. By this whole event, the UPA is conveying to the world that Kashmir is an international issue and we do not care who says what about it. Meanwhile the other luminaries in the conference were all from Pakistan. It seems that at this conference, Farooq met with the ISI head. Predictable, when asked Farooq has resorted to “al taqiyya”. If this is the way, UPA is going to solve the J&K terror problem, then I hope that Bholenath is working overtime to save our lives.
Binayak Sen: Convicted of sedition, advising the plan panel
R Vaidyanathan
Suddenly, the mainstream media (MSM), which is part of the civil society jholawalas, forgot about the rule of law and the need to respect judicial verdicts. Then the Supreme Court gave him bail, which was reported by the MSM as Sen “walking free”. That is a distortion since he is still a convicted person and is out on bail. Sedition, as we all understand, is a serious charge and there are civil rights groups that carefully tabulate the number of convicts and accused criminals standing for election. They have reported the number of persons with a criminal background in the various legislative assemblies and even in parliament.

It has been more than two years since the Mumbai attacks. That attack which killed people who mattered unlike numerous other which killed the aam aadmi. One would have thought that after Mumbai attacks and getting rid of the “spectacularly incompetent” Shivraj Patil, we would have tightened our belt. After all, the infinitely more capable P Chidambaram is now the sheriff. The alumnus of Loyola College and Harvard University was supposed to fix our leaky security.
Emboldened by the US success in Abottabad, our people also started to feel tough. They talked tough and they walked tough. They felt it was time to push Pakistan into a corner. So we submitted a list of 50 terrorists hiding in Pakistan and hoped that forced by defeat in Abottabad and under the influence of Biryani from Mohali, the Pakistanis would relent and surrender these men. If this act was not one of absolute desperation, it was compounded by abject incompetence. It turns out that out of the fifty, two guys were living in India. Talk about an ostrich egg in our faces!
Of course instead of apology, what we get are poor attempts at deflecting blames. How representative of the UPA government. Nothing is ever their fault. How could this have happened? Well other than the abject incompetence of the Babus, we have couple of other reasons.
a. The home ministry is never interested in going after Indian Muslims who help the Pakistani terrorists. In the aftermath of the 26/11 attacks, how many India helpers were arrested? Are we to believe that the pakis did all that without any local logistics help?
b. The home minister has been busy coming up with original terms like saffron terror and arresting all those Hindu terrorists. He does not have time for the real terrorists. Arrest of Hindu terrorists makes the Muslim vote bank and the secularists / leftists happy. If the home minister and his babus are to be believed the biggest threats to Indian security are Sadhvi Pragya and others. Of course if the potato gets too hot, some IAS officer will come out and swear that Bhai Narendra Modi was actually sharpening knives the day after Godhra train station massacre!
It is too much to ask the UPA ministers to do the honorable thing. God forbid if any of them should accept any blame for the never-ending saga of corruption and incompetence. I guess we can thank all those who voted for the UPA / Congress and continue to do so.
A Shoddy Counter-Terrorism Data-Base
By B. Raman
More than two years after the 26/11 terrorist strikes in Mumbai and the setting-up of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Government of India continues to have a shoddy counter-terrorism data-base. That is the inevitable conclusion from the current controversy over an embarrassing professional and diplomatic faux pas relating to the alleged inclusion of the name of Wazhul Kamar Khan, a terrorism suspect living on bail with his family in Thane in Maharashtra, in a list of 50 terrorism suspects allegedly enjoying sanctuary in Pakistan.
The article can be read at: http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/papers45/paper4499.htmlAnother man in India's most wanted list for Pak in Mumbai
In an embarrassing goof-up, another man named in India's Most Wanted list of terrorists allegedly hiding in Pakistan was found to be in a a Mumbai jail facing trial in the 1993 serial blasts case. Listed in the dossier as criminal No.24, Feroze Abdul Rashid Khan has been shown as an accused in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case along with the absconding mafia don Dawood Ibrahim. But it came to be known that Feroz Khan was actually in Mumbai's fortified Arthur Road Central Jail and facing trial, official sources said.
The Good
a. DMK the corrupt family dynasty party of the Karunanidhi has been dealt a severe blow. Karunanidhi’s advanced age, incompetent and corrupt second tier leadership and infighting in the family are now casting long shadows. The sun is about to finally set for DMK. Couldn’t have happened sooner. Couldn’t have happened more definitively. Couldn’t have happened to a more miserable family.
b. The Tamil voter’s sensibility is commendable. DMK saw the writing on the wall and started to distribute money and goods to bribe the voters in creative ways to hide it from the EC. They got away with it. In urban areas DMK got wiped out. In rural areas, it would seem that people took money and yet voted against DMK. I suppose that some of that black money from Switzerland is back with people of TN. More power to them!
c. AIADMK spectacular comeback was also possible because of Jayalalitha’s softening stances to form smart alliance in order to avoid splitting of the anti DMK votes. She went against her nature and made compromises with smaller players and reaped benefits. I hope that she continues on that road of compromise and all inclusive administration.
d. It was the finest hour for the Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan, the most popular CPM leader who gave the congress led UDF run for their money in the close Kerala election.
e. Except for re-polling in five assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu and two in Kerala because of the malfunctioning of the EVMs and minor skirmishes the election was by and large very peaceful with heavy voter turnout.
The Bad
f. Though Jayalalitha reached out to the people by picking up issues like rampant corruption, poor road conditions, power cuts and alleged DMK goondaism, she quickly initiated DMK like tricks to win people’s hearts and announced a slew of freebies like mixer, grinder and fans. She needs to realize that it is performance not freebies which will win her hearts, minds and the next term.
g. Right after winning the elections with a massive mandate, Jayalalitha fired a salvo at the SriLankan President Rajapaksa when she said that he must be tried for war crimes before the International Court of Law. She has to remember that AIADMK is a regional party and needs to first focus on the pressing state issues. Though Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (the Liberation Tigers party) lost in all the 10 constituencies it fielded candidates proves that the plight of the Lankan Tamils is not high in the list of priorities of the Tamil Nadu people, but still JJ Amma chose to make a statement in her very first address after winning the elections. Moreover, she may have taught herself the art of politics in TN but has little idea of international politics. The central govt. is trying its best to limit Chinese influence in Sri Lanka (eg. The Hambantota port). Provocative statements against the SL PM does the nation more harm to Indian interests that it does good to the SL Tamils. In this regards she needs to take lessons from Nitish Kumar who has kept quiet and has been solving one problem after another.
h. The communism in Kerala still seems to be a viable option and an alternative. The keralites seem content with the status co and do not wish to embrace development and progress. They almost elected a communist government. If they had, they would be the only piece of real estate in the world governed by an elected communist government!
The Ugly
i. J. Jayalalitha too succumbed to the vote bank politics ploy of the DMK and Congress by promising trips to Bethlehem for Christians just like the Muslims go for the Haj Pilgrimage if voted to power. Now that would become precedence for other Christian dominated states like Kerala to follow. These are tricks used by pseudo-secularists and not by a woman who was brave enough to take on the religious conversions in her state.
j. The BJP, the opposition conservative nationalist party failed to open an account yet again in spite of high hopes in some four to five constituencies this election. The religious parties like the Muslim League and the Kerala Congress of the Kerala Christians formed alliances to defeat the BJP candidates.The Congress and allies won maximum seats in Muslim-dominated Mallapuram and Christian belts Ernakulam and Kottayam. The CPM and allies won in Kannur, Kozhikode, Kollam, Palakkad, Alappuzha and Thiruvananthapuram, which all have significant Hindu concentration. This clearly demonstrates that the secular Hindus voted for the CPM whereas the communal Muslims and the Christians voted for their religious communities. The voting pattern displayed a communal polarization across the state, with Christians and Muslims consolidating behind Congress-led UDF and the Hindu areas going with the CPM-led LDF. This reflects poorly on Hindus and Christians. By going with communists, the Hindus are blatantly abandoning their interests and empowering those who hate their faith. One of the many examples of that is the blatant misuse of Hindu temple funds by the commies for their own nefarious purposes. By aligning with the Muslims, the Christians are exhibiting myopia. They have forgotten the Madani inspired fundamentalists who chopped the hands of the Christian professor not too long ago! If they cannot use common sense and see who will take care of their interests then at least listen to Pope Benedict who has spoken clearly against Islamic fundamentalism. Their hatred for Hindus is clouding their judgment and they are creating a monster who is SURE to bite them in near future.
