After Haj Subsidy, They need Baggage Subsidy as well!

28/12/2007 10:14:52 HKJeddah: Islamic Scholars say “The Hajj makes Muslims feel real importance of life here on earth, and the afterlife, by stripping away all markers of social status, wealth, and pride.”We the generous Indians also contribute a portion of our Tax Money, for our Muslim Brothers to conduct this Haj Pilgrimage in the name of “Haj Subsidy”- Thinking those who go for Haj will return back as an ideal citizen who strips away all markers of social status, wealth, and pride.But many few know that their prime concern is shopping and not the so called pilgrimage which we give Subsidy!“Air India has left nearly 130 Haj pilgrims from India stranded at Saudi Arabia's Jeddah airport after the flight they were scheduled to board took off without them” laments our National Dailies.The Haji’s who went to Haj by taking Subsidy from our pockets were denied boarding as they were not ready to pay the excess baggage ! Usually if flying by Commercial flights only 20 kg of checked-in luggage and seven kg of hand baggage are allowed, But those going with Haj Subsidy under Govt. of India are getting an added benefit of 45 kg of checked-in luggage and 10 kgs as hand baggage free of cost.Even after this added allowance on baggage they still want the Government to pay for their excess baggage!

Shopping SubsidyCome on you guys - they need the electronic goods to be good muslims. Where else do you expect them to hide the bombs - have you any idea how many kafirs will continue to live in peace because of this - so unislamic really.

Baggage subsidyC'mon my hindu brothers. Try to understand. The haji'leave india with a big wish list to bring electronics, clothes, chinese made electrical items back to India. They pray so hard that god gives all these things free of charge. Obviously they have to squeeze us tax payers to uplift all these goods. After all it is only once in a life time that they get to go for shopping...ooopsss...I am sorry... for haj.....This is the height of hypocracy. (1) Longer the beard...bigger the ego.(2) THe more fanatic they are ...the chances of sitting on the right hand side of Allah becomes more ...after death.. THat is why they are eager to blow themselves up...to sit on the right hand side. I have working in the middle east for 17 years and I can tell you...many of our spiritually charged brothers offer their prayers in Mecca and vanish off and emerge as Mr. Hajikutty of Malappuram district after a couple of years. By then he has illegaly done business like money laundering, black marketing and pimping and make tons of money and build a mansion in Keral anad rent it out to the movie industry.There is a lot to learn from this religion.The mor

The undying sense of want.

A religion, if it is to have the intended effect on one, should transform one into a spiritual person, meaning, one should be progressively detached from things material. While Islam might not even qualify as a religion because it does not seem to have as its aim the idea of man transforming into a spiritual being, with its aim actually being only to make the individual a die hard slave of Allah, the case is not the same in Hinduism. Hinduism is nothing if its aim is not spiritual. Therefore I've always wondered why, for instance, any individual should need for than one tin of aravana payasam? Unabating greed seems to manifest when Ayyappas desire to take home as many as 10 tins or more. “For the others who have not made the pilgrimage”, one might say. I am not arguing on this, for reasons can always be aplenty. But the point is, much thoughts of ‘wanting’ seem to float at temple darshans when pilgrimages should actually reduce our sense of want.

L.K. Advani : BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate

10/12/2007 08:43:12 KaumudiNEW DELHI:

The BJP has named former deputy prime minister and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha LK Advani as the party's prime ministerial candidate.Party president Rajnath Singh made the announcement after a meeting of the BJP's highest decision-making body, the Parliamentary Board, on Monday.According to sources, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee endorsed Advani's candidature and the Board unanimously picked Advani for the post

K.Venugopal 12/12/2007 04:44:52
Advani - Man with capital M

Advani is Swami Vivekananda's and Guruji's Man with a capital M. Character is best measured when the going is bad. When the going is good everybody shines. The whole Jinnah controversy arose because we reacted to twisted newspaper reports about Advani's comments without waiting for Advani to clarify. To have called him a traitor was the most unkindest cut of all. And finally we got him to relinquish his post. But he bore it all because he has a faith in Sangha that we would be unable to measure. Never once did he criticize Sangha while all the time standing by what he said. Truly, a man with the courage of his convictions. I wish also to say that we have much to learn from Vajpayeeji. He is an Ajatashatru par excellence. Truly a man with abundance of Susheelam, as taught in our Prarthana. Further, even as PM many times he declared that he is a swayamsevak first and foremost. Let us, therefore, under their able leadership, give all support to BJP so that it can come to power in the Centre and put the nationalistic course of our nation back on track.

Menon 11/12/2007 16:48:57
So much hope in Mr. AdvaniI have so much hope in Mr. Advani. BJP could have given the reign to him before they left last time.He can make big change in India's history. We need a vibrant leader at this difficult time.
Praveen Komath 11/12/2007 02:54:04
Let us work together towards BJP's victory in the next parliamentary elections It is indeed great news to hear that Shri Advaniji will be the prime ministerial candidate for the on-coming Pariament elections which is due in 2009 but which could also be held much earlier since the UPA boat might capsize any moment with the leftists ready to bid farewell to the UPA over the nuclear row. Indeed Advaniji is the right person to represent India vis-a-vis the international arena. With his towering personality and positive body-language, he is the 'Yug Purush' of our times. With the right mixture of political alliances,the backing of various Sangh organisations and aggressive campaigning, the BJP can come back to power.Let each one of us commited towards the hindutwa cause make sure that votes are cast in favour of the NDA candidates.
B.R.Haran 11/12/2007 02:34:35
L.K.Adwani: BJP's PM candidateThe BJP parliamentary board, with the fullest blessings of former Prime Minister Mr.Vajpayee, had unanimously chosen and announced Mr.Adwani as the Prime ministerial candidate for the forthcoming Parliament Elections. Mr.Adwani is one of the rarest, clean handed politicians of our country known for his honesty & integrity with an impeccable behavioral track record spanning more than four decades and he has been instrumental along with Mr.Vajpayee, in the phenomenal growth of BJP in a short span of time. His performance as Deputy Prime Minister during the NDA regime was exemplary. But, unlike Mr.Vajpayee, he had always faced a hostile media, which had branded him as a "hardliner" and a champion of the so-called "Hindutva" in its attempt to foist a false image on him. The media, which had tried and failed many times to create a rift between Vajpayee & Adwani, must be hanging its head in shame now, since this new announcement had emanated from none other than Mr.Vajpayee. Hereafter, the media will forget Gujarat & Modi, as the BJP's victory is written on the wall, particularly after the "merchant of death" debacle by Sonia & "Hindu Terrorists" fiasco by Digvijay, and will focus on Ayodya, Babri demolition and the consequent riots. The media will use its might to rock the NDA boat and spoil the newly emerging alliances, which are expected to come in favour of BJP. As the RSS had welcomed the announcement, VHP will also follow suit. The cadres will work with a rejuvenated will and vigor. In the inevitability of BJP winning Gujarat & Himachal Pradesh, the Adwani-Modi combination will stare dangerously at the UPA-Left combine, which are responsible & accountable for absolute "Non-Governance" for the last three and a half years. This will force the Left to withdraw its "withdrawal threat". As the Left front is already waning in West Bengal & Kerala, the so-called UNPA will vanish in thin air. A victory in Gujarat & Himachal Pradesh will steady the BJP boats in MP and Rajastan and Karnataka is expected to have a majority government run by BJP. DMK & AIADMK may fight it out to join NDA and a similar scene may be expected in UP between Maya & Mulayam. Chandrababu Naidu & Mamta Banerjee will shamelessly get back to NDA. JD (U), BJD and Akali Dal are already there strongly with BJP. The position of NCP & RJD will be pathetic, particularly for Lalu, who is embroiled in a flurry of legal cases. The Indian Political Scene will be very interesting to watch in the coming days!
Vijayalakshmi 11/12/2007 00:25:08
L.K.Advani:BJP's PM candidate.We welcome and whole-heartedly support the candidature of SriL.K.Advani as BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate. I would like to state that initially I was also offended like other Hindus with Sri Advani,not for saying that Jinnah was secular, but because he did not care to explain his statement to the people.Actually there was nothing wrong in what Sri Advani said. The fact is that Jinnah having been a non-practising muslim, was not a staunch muslim/islamist. Having been in the freedom struggle long before Nehru appeared on the scene, he nursed the ambition of becoming the PM of India. But his hopes were dashed when Gandhiji supported Nehru to be the PM of India. He had stated till then that India should be a secular state- " you follow your religion and I'll follow mine. TheState shall not interfere in the religious affairs of the people."This is what Jinnah had said. Does not that qualify him to be asecularist? The leaders of free India have distorted secularism tosuch an extent that today they are brazenly practising anti-Hinduism.Anyway,why then did Jinnah become a hardliner?When it was clear to him that he stood no chance of becoming the PM of free India, he advocated partition of India and wanted a separate state for the muslims. He died of cancer the very next year. But the fact remains that he had advocated secularism. So, what Sri Advani had said is true. The only thing he should have done is to explain this to the people who had misgivings and misunderstood his observation onJinnah in Pakistan.I therefore request my Hindu brothers and sisters to understand this point and extend their full support to Sri Advani and thereby support the larger Hindu Cause. Sri Advani has devoted his life to Hindutvacause for a long period.It is in the fitness of things that he should be offerred the PM's post now. He is 80yrs old, and we must respect our elderly statesman. Sri Narendra Modi's turn will come. He is a symbol of Hindu Pride. At present he is happy to serve his Gujarat. Infact he is obsessed about it. Let him first do all he wants for Gujarat. Then he will occupy centre-stage. All of us should express our solidarity with our leaders. We should take care not to createrift, lest it be misused by our opponents.I have this to say to BJP leaders. Dr.Subramaniam Swamy is acourageous and capable leader espousing Hindutva. He had filedseveral cases against the wily and wicked Sonia. Had BJP supported him, she would not have grown to this stature and become a force to reckon with. It was the BJP leadership which unwittingly allowed the growth of Sonia and her son. BJP should fully support Dr Swamy atleast now, so that this 'Italian mafia' is banished from our soil.Jai Hind! Vande Mataram!With warm regards to one and all,Vijayalakshmi(& family).
Titu Raveendranathan 10/12/2007 22:00:09
We want Shri. Advani of 90'sDear Brothers,Namaste!!Happy to hear BJP’s announcement that Mr. Lal Krishna Advani will be the prime ministerial candidate for the next general election and let us hope the next prime minister of India. Mr. L K Advani born in Karachi on 8th Nov 1927 is considered as a strong advocacy of Hindutva and has brought about a sea change in the country in 90’s by Shri. Ram Mandir movement. But unfortunately it was not the same Advani that we saw in June 2005 when he made his visit to Pakistan where he praised Muhammad Ali Jinnah while visiting his mausoleum in Karachi by saying "Jinnah's August 1947 vision was secular" and his comments after that about RSS and Sangh Parivar. The present need of BJP and our nation is the Advani whom we saw in 90’s and not a Secular Advani who make’s his statements which is only to hold the power and to make a self image. So we request Mr. Lal Krishna Advani, Mr. Rajnath Singh and the BJP as a whole to be a Hindutva party and come up with the same election agenda of 90’s. We wish you all the best and the whole nation is with you.Note: Hindu is not a religion it’s a way of life. There is a land between river Sindhu and an ocean [Hindmahasagar/Indian ocean ] called Bharatand those who consider this land as their father land [ land of their ancestors] and /or holy place[ land of pilgrimage /Punya bhoomi] are all Hindus.
Tathagata Mukherjee 10/12/2007 19:16:05
The formal coming out of age of the prodigious son of HindutvaIts the formal coming out of age of the prodigious son of Hindutva. Shri Advani was always there at the helms of the affairs, but this annoitation was needed to bring sharper focus to the mis-deeds of anti-national UPA.Let Bhagawan give all his blessings to Shri Advani, who in the last 1000 years of Indian history, has shown what Hindu unity can achieve.We also should not forget the contribution of AB Vajpayee."The day hindus unite, hindu muslim problem will be solved in a day "- thus spoke Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, pre-eminent Indian Novelist.Its happening- but its pace needs to be hastened.

Hindutva will win in Gujarat : Exit Polls

11/12/2007 14:53:26 HKGUJARAT : Various exist polls conducted by national channels including anti Hindu channel NDTV today predicts Narendra Modi is all set to retain power in Gujarat for the third time. Though the exit polls shows Modi may loose 10-15 seats as compared to last election its almost certain BJP would easily capture the power in the state. The overall projection of Star News is 115 seats for the BJP, 64 for Congress and 3 for others.In South Gujarat, BJP maintain their 2002 poll tally winning 14, the exit poll said.




K.Venugopal 12/12/2007 04:21:25

Kick out the failed swayamsevaks

If BJP is defeated, it would have been only because of rebels. In this context we have to take Advani as a model. Though after his Pakistan trip he was criticized and removed from his post, he bore everything patiently because he never lost faith in Sangha. This is the hallmark of a true swayamsevak. But look at Keshubhai Patel. To defeat one man he goes against the whole party. If he was so sore with Narendra Modi he could have contested against him. But a coward that he is, he did not do it. Instead he played upon his caste constituency. As a swayamsevak he should never have nurtured a caste constituency. Let us identify failed swayamsevaks and kick them out from the party.

Sabarimala Crisis-Kummanam seek intervention of Governor & Military help

11/12/2007 12:10:32 HKThiruvananthapuram:

Day by day, the condition of Sabarimala pilgrimage is dilapidating due to the irresponsibility and inefficiency of Devaswom Ministry and its Devaswom Board. Governor should immediately intervene and take necessary action to restore proper management in Sabarimala, Demanded Hindu Aikya Vedi General Secretary Kummanam Rajasekharan.As Kerala Government and Devaswom board proved to be an utter failure, Governor should seek Army’s help in crisis management. Crowd Management specialist of Military services should be called in as day by day the number of Devotees coming for holy pilgrimage is increasing.It is for the first time such an inefficient management was seen in Sabarimala. Thousands of devotees returned back without Darsan is first time in the History. Water Scarcity and lack of sanitation facilities forces extra burden on the devotees. Devaswom Minister never bothered to visit the Temple and tried to understand the crisis in Sabarimala. The Devaswom president is making irresponsible statements and justifying his faults without any concern for the Devotees problems. Board members should resign and apologize to the devotees owing responsibility for the grave mismanagement.




K.Venugopal 12/12/2007 03:33:55

Declare Sabarimala a semi-autonomous and holy region

I think the inevitable has happened. Insincere people have got on to the management team at Sabarimala, appointed by greedy politicians with an eye on easy money. Worse, many are actually anti-Hindu and wish to tarnish the image of Sabarimala.The only long term solution is to demand from the Central Government release of large tracts of forest lands and build massive infrastructures with toilet facilities, round the clock water, subsidized food and stay facilities. Also, the entire area surrounding Sannidhanam should be divided into sectors and it must be announced that devotees would be released into Sannidhanam area from the main gates of these sectors only at particular times. This way devotees would know at which sector to queue up for darshan according to timings of their convenience. Indeed, the whole area of Sabarimala must be declared a semi-autonomous and holy region. Tantris must also consider whether new temples can be consecrated on the 18 hills of the Poongavanam so that Sabarimala would be a round-theyear pilgrimage centre for all devotees.

Rajdeep Sardesai insults Gujarati Women

12/12/2007 00:45:15 HKAHMEDABAD: Rajdeep Sardesai who bared the brunt of Narendra Modi’s rhetoric in a talk show seems to lose all his senses after the news of possible victory of BJP and Modi in Gujarat.In the most irresponsible statement made by a Journalist, This Anti Hindu insulted Gujarathi women in his remark “women of Gujarat favour Modi because they find more sex appeal in Modi”. In CNN-IBN’s News on Gujarat Election analysis, He made this comment. . It’s a clear insult not only Gujarati women but also to Bharatheeya culture and whole womanhood.Rajdeep Sardesai who born in Gujrat itself must have coined this remark based on the nature of women in his family. Will he dare to make such a comment about the victory of Sonia Maino in Rae Bareilly similar to this? Does he feel that people watch the programs of his wife Sagarika Ghosh due to her sex appeal?Recently a group of Jihadi’s in Kozhikode , Kerala gave him an award for his Anti Hindu stands taken on various issues.

Rajdeep, don't be a clone of Western valuesSex-appeal is common parlance when talking about famous personalities in the West. Rajdeep's comments may have been apt for CNN's American audience. But he ought to remember that IBN is the Indian avataar of CNN and he ought to be sensitive to cultural values here. Further, associating sex-appeal to a person who is basically a Sangha pracharak is mischievous. Rajdeep’s audience may be English speaking but they may not be necessarily sold out to Western cultural values.

There is even a debate going on in the following site as to whether such an act (naming dogs/pets after religious figures) could be construed to be offensive.

Communist TDB to turn down free packing offer by Amul in Sabarimala

Communist TDB to turn down free packing offer by Amul in Sabarimala11/26/2007 4:04:11 PM TDB likely to turn down Amul's prasadam packing offerArun Lakshman Thiruvananthapuram- Daily PioneerThe Travancore Dewaswom Board (TDB) is likely to reject the offer made by the Anand Milk Union Ltd (Amul) to package the Aravana prasadam free of cost, sources in the board said.The reason for the blatant rejection of the offer is the fear among the officials and certain power centres within the board that there would not be any personal benefits for these higher ups in the board from a cooperative society like Amul.The board is also on the verge of finalising discussions for setting up its own package plant which includes preparation, cooling and packing of the Aravana prasadam. The new plant is expected to be of having a capacity of 5-lakh cans per day instead of the present capacity of 80,000 cans per day.Sources in the board told The Pioneer that when there was an acute shortage of Aravana at the beginning of the season, the higher ups in the board pressed the panic button and a SOS was sent to an industrialist who is said to be associated with the temple as well as with a leading Ayurvedic medicine group for the flip-open lids which are generally procured from Taiwan.The former contractors of the Aravana had not trained the board employees and when the board decided to produce the Aravana on its own it had to face serious problems. There were even restrictions to the number of Aravana cans offered to the devotees owing to the fall in production.The TDB has in the first time in the history of the Sabarimala pilgrim season failed to provide proper supply of Aravana to the devotees.There are also reports that several sponsors have already come forward for the packing plant but sources told The Pioneer that the board is not too keen for corporate sponsorship as there would not be any personal benefits for the board officials if big groups are roped in.Another difficulty is that they would clearly expose the shortcomings of the present set up and once these groups comes in there are possibilities of them making their presence felt in other areas including the food supply.The hotels and restaurants in the hill shrine are not organised and moreover the poor sanitary conditions add to the woes. The board too fear that these shabby conditions could be exposed once the corporate sponsors land up in Sabarimala.A devotee who is visiting the temple for the past several years unhindered told The Pioneer "The board and the Government is not keen regarding the problems faced by the pilgrims and the real devotees of Sabarimala Ayyappan.The board has even failed to provide unlimited supply of Aravana to the devotees and what is suprising is that the board doesn't even a clue that the season begins from November 17th, the first day of Vrishika?"He adds, "I have got clear feelers from the board that they would reject the Amul offer for packing of Aravana and the offer of corporate sponsors as they want the same system to continue which mints money for certain higher ups in the board."It may be noted that the Travancore Dewaswom board has not done anything to expel those employees in the counting chamber even after media reported extensive smuggling of currencies and coins which are offered by the devotees to the Lord.The pilferage reported is to the tune of around Rs 3 crore for the season comprising of seventy days.

The ideal solution would be for Sabarimala to have its own in-house plant to produce aravana payasam etc. Since Sabarimala is open only seasonally, during off-season the plant can still be utilised for providing prasadam made to order for other temples in the state. This way the employees also would have permanent jobs. Further, Sabarimala Temple should have its own dining hall to provide subsidised food to the pilgrims (just as Guruvayoor temple has, where it is absolutely free but limited).

Complete Breakdown of Governance-BJP Resolution

Complete Breakdown of Governance-BJP Resolution 11/26/2007 4:22:24 PM Resolution adopted by the Office Bearers of the BJPThe Bharatiya Janata Party is seriously concerned with the complete breakdown of authority of the Central Government and the Prime Minister on matters of governance. There are only two priorities that the UPA government has. Firstly, survival at any cost. The cost involved in the present case is absence of decision-making and its consequent effect on governance. Secondly, perpetuate the politics of vote bank consideration even if has an impact on national security and integrity.The harassment of the Bangladesh author Taslima Nasreen by the West Bengal Government has thrown up an important question as to how a victim of persecution is treated by a civilised state in which the victim seeks a refuge as an assalym. Taslima is a victim of religious persecution in Bangladesh. She is a refugee in India. To eject a refugee under pressures from religious groups is to submit to hardline Islamic fundamentalists. The political thought process which produced the legislation to nullify the effect of the Shah Bano Judgement of the Supreme Court involved a surrender to Islamic fundamentalists. This is precisely what the West Bengal Government has done. A victim of political persecution is being persecuted further since fellow traveling with fundamentalism wins vote banks. The irony of this issue is the customary silence of the Prime Minister and the central government.India is a country which has been a victim of illegal immigration of millions from Bangladesh. Mass scale illegal immigration from Bangladesh has served both the Congress and the CPI(M) as a convenient vote bank even though it may have hurt India's security concerns. The irony of Taslima's issue is that the Central and the West Bengal government's feeling that millions of illegal immigrants are welcome in India but a victim of political persecution is not. The Bharatiya Janata Party demands that Taslima Nasreen be treated as a political refugee in India with a right to live with dignity and security. She is entitled to all rights which have been given to the Tibetan refugees.The developments of Nandigram have shown to the whole country the real, ugly and fascist face of the CPI(M). The CPI(M) is hostile to any form of dissent and criticism. To use the political cadres as an instrument of repression on dissidents is unprecedented. The BJP takes note of the Congress Party's double speak on Nandigram. It is obvious that the Congress Party still lacks the confidence to criticize the CPI(M).The recent terrorist strikes in Uttar Pradesh have exposed the soft-on-terror policy of the UPA government. The Indian judicial system is an important pillar of Indian democracy. The Indian Parliament and symbols of India's religious and cultural personality have been attacked in the past. Centres of India's economic growth have also been attacked. Now judicial centres are under terrorist attacks. The UP attacks were symbolic of the terrorists ability to strike at will. They remind us of the helplessness of the Indian government. The BSP government in UP has been a dismal failure on the front of tackling security. The BSP government recently enacted a POTA type law to tackle organized crime. Why can't such a law be used against terrorists? This is motivated by the vote bank politics of the UP government.The BJP condemns the increasing incidents if violence and lawlessness that is being witnessed in Assam. Protestors venting their anger on innocent bystanders in the absence of any security arrangements followed by police firing by the state government is condemnable.The BJP shall campaign on the basis of the above issues before the people. We will take these issues particularly to the people of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat which go for Assembly Elections next month.

To Shri Parameswaran's query as to what is fundamentally ailing this country, I would say it is lack of self-confidence in the majority community. It was when this self-confidence was at the lowest that Swami Vivekananda and Dr. Hedgewar came on the scene. The titans have left us the legacy of a rekindled interest in spirituality and a capacity to reorganise the Hindu society. Let us particularly remember Dr. Hedgewar's legacy of the shakha. Let us empower ourselves by attending shakhas daily and increasing our self-confidence. We shall then truly be Swami Vivekananda's men with a capital M (dito women).

"Jag ke thukrae logo ko, lo mere ghar ka khula dwar

"Jag ke thukrae logo ko, lo mere ghar ka khula dwar" 11/27/2007 10:17:56 AM HKNew Delhi: "Jag ke thukrae logo ko, lo mere ghar ka khula dwar (People deserted by others are welcome to my place)," was the response of RSS Sarsangha Chalak Sudarsanji on Taslima issue. He was addressing a public function here to release the book “Saffron Surge” by Tarun Vijay here.Sudarsanji criticized the present electoral system which breeds on Vote Bank politics. After 60 years of Independence the Vote Bank politics gave us a Divided nation based on Religion and Caste. 99.9% of Muslims and Christians had not come from outside the country, Then why they are found of calling themselves Minorities? quipped Sudarsanji .The concept of Majority and Minority was devised by British for their ease of divide and rule, Unfortunately the Vote bank politicians are continuing the same outdated policies of British Raj.Meanwhile Gujarath Chief Minister Narendra Modi welcomed Taslima to Gujarath.While addressing an election meeting in Botad town of Bhavnagar, Modi told “Taslima has been courageous in speaking out against fundamentalists.

The quotation by Sudarshanji typifies the spirit of India, which always welcomed the persecuted. Today the Congress and Communists are bent upon appeasing Islamic fanatics at any cost. Congratulations to Narendra Modi for showing the guts worthy of a brave son of Bharath Mata.

Hussein and Taslima are NOT two sides of a coin

Hussein and Taslima are NOT two sides of a coin11/24/2007 5:23:26 PM

Ram Gopal

An Open Letter to Barkha Dutt

Dear Ms Barkha,

In your article, "Fundamental issues", in the Hindustan Times, New Delhi, (November 24), you have started defending Bangladeshi writer, Tasleema Nasreen, who, under an Islamic 'fatwa', has been living in India, but shifted to iconoclastic painter MF Husain, who is in self imposed exile in foreign countries, just to avoid court cases against him in India. I wonder how you compare the two?Tasleem has not denigrated Islam or any other religion. She has only shown her concern for women, especially Muslim women. This is a social aspect of the Muslim society. It is common knowledge that, in the name of Islamic law, (Shariat), the Muslim clergy has kept its women folk in perpetual bondage and condoned rape and abduction of women of non-Muslims. Tasleema could be compared with Hindu social reformers like Raja Rammohun roy and Swami Dayanand of the 19 th century. MF Husain, on the other hand, has committed the sin of disrobing and vilifying Hindu gods, goddesses and avatars and shown women copulating with animals, that is a clear insult to motherhood itself. The irony is that he is clever enough to depict his own mother, daughter and daughter of Prophet Mohammed, (Fatima), fully clothed and in all serenity.You know it all very well and still call MF Husain "India's most celebrated painter", though I am yet to see any of his paintings or its replica in any civilized home, unlike those of Raja Ravi Verma. You are also friendly with Husain. If your fondness for his obnoxious paintings is really genuine, not in exchange of money or some other favour, have your own portrait made by him in the mode of his paintings of Seeta, Durga or Saraswati and make it your logo to be displayed with your articles, instead of your photograph.Yours sincerely,Ram Gopal

Re: Hussein and Taslima are NOT two sides of a coin Thasleema and Hussein cann’t be compared. Former wrote the reality and the latter wounded one nation’s idols. We can perceive no other country gives security to the minority in the world like India. That is the virtue of Hinduism. Why the people who bark against thasleema here not saying any word against Hussein ? If he is an artist, he should apologize to the people and if the rulers here are real Indians, they should give citizenship to Thasleema and assure her future life secure.salih.rawtherbanglore

Mr. Ganesh in his comments has brought out the most glaring difference between Hussain and Taslima - that Hussain has denigrated others’ religious sentiments whereas Taslima has rebelled against her own. While Hussain has drawn a nude Sita hanging on to Hanuman's tail to insult Rama’s memory, Taslima has written nothing against Mohammaed. Her expose was of the Mullahs.
R.Viswanathan 11/25/2007
Re: Hussein and Taslima are NOT two sides of a coin Yes, the media in this country are full of Barka Dutts. But what can we do about them ? Just grin, and bear them. And tell all who care to hear us what despicable creatures the Barka Dutts of the Indian media are. Or better, start Hindu-proud press and TV channels.
Ganesh 11/25/2007
Re: Hussein and Taslima are NOT two sides of a coin Another difference here is that Taslima is critical of some of the practices of her own relegion.Whereas the lunatic Hussain is silent about his own relegion and wants to experiment with another relegion.He is clever enough to know that he belongs to a relegion that will not tolerate any comedies.

Everyone seems spineless in front of Muslim threats. Even the Rajasthan Govt. was not interested in protecting her. The claim that she has insulted Islam through her book Lajja is false. She has only depicted the helpless position of Hindus in Bangladesh. Even here the backdrop is the destruction of Babri Masjid. As a woman who wrote "Let another name for religion be humanism", she is not a mere author - she is a sage. All persons who value the freedom to speak the truth should rally around her. Those who don't will one day be judged to be discredited worms.

Re: Scared of Jihadi's, Commies planning to expel Taslima

Today's news is that Taslima has been shifted to Rajasthan! The commie scoundrels, who are arrogant with Hindu sentiments, crawl like worms in front of the Jihadis. They will not dare to even criticize an islamist father marrying and impregnating his own daughter! The state of West Bengal(Waste Bengal)has very few regular Govt schools, especially in rural areas. The education portfolio(as in Kerala)is invariably in the hands of a muslim minister; so he prefers to set up madarasas, where children of other communities are forced to attend, in the absence of regular Govt schools. Little wonder that muslims in Bengal are backward. Atleast in Kerala,most of the muslims have managed to attain literacy and economic prosperity.Most of the Bengali muslims are backward, because they are not interested in studies and engage in businesses.Many of them are anti-socials and smugglers.No Sachar can help the people who do not want education.It is the Bengal Govt which is responsible for not setting up Govt schools, which could have enabled them to join the national mainstream.As things now stand, commies have to crawl before the jihadis in their unreasonable demand.Taslima only described and condemned the harassment meted out to women,especially Hindu women by the backward muslims.That is what her book 'Lajja'(Shame)speaks of. She is actually a humanitarian and secular writer.If our Govt cannot defend/protect her,it's a shame!

Re: Scared of Jihadi's, Commies planning to expel Taslima

Most curious, isn't it - that the muslim leaders are more concerned about whether or not Taslima, the Bangladeshi writer, should stay in India, than about their women being molested and killed by the communist brigade in Nandigram. Reveals the level of Islam's ideas on the right and wrong. It is a testimony to the fact that Islam treats women as secondary citizens and thus unworthy of any attention and concern. The muslim heads have far more ''important'' issues to worry and protest about - a writer's residential location - that about the plight of their women and children in Nandigram in the hands of the communists. Sad...sad...sad..

The Indonesian Government’s 20,000 rupiah note with Lord Ganesha's picture.

Would Islam in Indonesia be compromised with Ganesha on their notes? Our Mullahs should go in a delegation to Indonesia and if they are told that Islam is about a Muslim's relation to Allah and Ganesha is about Indonesia's relation to her history, then our Mullahs should return to India and start singing Vande Mataram.

Sri Sri visits Nandigram, offers to bring reconciliation

Sri Sri visits Nandigram, offers to bring reconciliation11/21/2007 2:52:54 AM IndiaPRwire.com
Nandigram:Renowned spiritual and humanitarian leader His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar today visited Nandigram to heal the wounds and scars of the people in the strife-torn area. After meeting hundreds of victims of the ongoing clashes, Sri Sri called for dialogues to end the conflict. “As the conflict is highly politicised, political parties will not be able to resolve it. NGOs and spiritual organisations have to play the role of peacemakers. What is needed is conflict resolution through dialogue,” he said.Later interacting with the media in Kolkata, Sri Sri offered to mediate between the opposing groups to end the ongoing clashes. “As an NGO which is known for bringing reconciliation in conflict zones around the world, the Art of Living would like to bring peace and solace to the people of Nandigram. We reach out to people in distress wherever they are. That’s why I am here today,” he said.Sri Sri went around Nandigram and interacted with the victims in different localities. He travelled seven kilometres on foot to reach out to people in an area where there was no motorable road. He distributed food and clothes at Brajamohan Tiwari Sikhsayatan relief camp and at Sonachura village.Commenting on the plight of the people of Nandigram, he said, “People are distraught and living in such fear that they cannot even tell their names. I didn’t see such intense fear psychosis even during the deadly tsunami of 2004.” He added that plight of victims was worse than that of what he saw in war-ravaged Iraq.Sri Sri emphasised that the need of the hour is to restore confidence among the victims. The Art of Living has already started the process of alleviating the trauma by conducting pranyama and meditation camps, he said. “Several yuvacharya or youth leaders of the Art of Living are working in the area.” The Art of Living is also running three schools in Nandigram, Sonachura and Maheshtala, where all other schools have closed their doors.Sri Sri also urged the government to offer suitable compensations to the victims.

The genesis of violence in Nandigram can be traced to the anti-capitalist ideology of communism. The ire of communist purists became insuppressible when fellow comrades in CPI(M) began courting capitalists and Marxist party's tango with the Salim Group was the last straw. Even though the Marxists have subsequently dropped their plans for Salim group in Nandigram, their more-red-than-thou fellow travelers Maoists, having tasted blood, are in no mood to let the Marxists get away for their long years of betrayal of the communist cause. Add to this a spitfire Mamta Banerjee and Mullahs wishing to fish in troubled waters and Nandigram is not going to go away too soon. Worse, it is likely to spread violence in all Bengal. The long and short of it is that the nemesis of communism in Bengal has begun.

Re: Allah's will-Muslim married his Daughter And they want Shariah in UK and India? ....Are they human? Illiteracy is curse on Islam and this religion should not let go by itself. AT least we in India need to control it and be it part of main stream. Otherwise they will ruin this country..
K.Venugopal 11/20/2007
While on the subject of incest, let me also point out that incestuous marriages were widespread in ancient Egyptian history, which included the Pharaohs (Egyptian Kings) marrying their daughters. The fable of Oedipus was about incest between mother and son, though inadvertent. In the Bible, Lot's two daughters have sex with him to carry on their lineage when they believe that all humanity but them has been destroyed. Of course, Adam and Eve would not have got their grandchildren without incest among or with their children. Mohammad himself got his son (adopted) to divorce his wife so that he could marry her. I suppose this chap from Bengal would quote Mohammad’s action to justify his own. My personal opinion on this incident is that if the persons directly concerned (father, mother and daughter, in this case) have no problems, society should leave them alone, as they do not pose a threat to society.

Re: Allah's will-Muslim married his Daughter FULL STORY......JALPAIGURI: A 36-year-old man married his teenage daughter and made her pregnant, justifying his perverse act by claiming he had divine sanction for his incestuous lust. What's even more galling is that his wife was the prime witness in the nikah of her daughter to her husband. Afazuddin Ali's wedding happened quietly and understandably without fanfare, so none in Kasiajhora village of Jalpaiguri district knew. But now, six months later, as the girl showed signs of pregnancy, eyebrows were raised, tongues started wagging and word finally got out. Outrage and anger swept across the village and there was even talk of attacking the family. Sensing that things could quickly get out of control, cops from the Banerhat police station rushed in and arrested Ali, his wife Sakina and their 15-year-old daughter. The three were taken to an SDO's court on Monday but the hapless magistrate had to release them because he had no criminal jurisdiction; there was no complainant and police strangely did not bring a case of statutory rape against Ali. "Police has not lodged any specific case and the court does not have jurisdiction over criminal cases. So they were released unconditionally," said the SDO, Atanu Kumar Ray.

Killing of innocent Hindus in Nandigram : RSS may not sit quietly

Killing of innocent Hindus in Nandigram : RSS may not sit quietly11/19/2007 7:45:26 AM Courtesy: http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/18705.aspNEW DELHI : It is sad that Indian Army did not come to the rescue of the common people in Nandigram as the communist thugs armed with Chinese arms and ammunitions killed scores of innocent Hindus in Nandigram. The only nationalist organization in India – RSS may not sit quietly if the innocent Hindus in India are targeted by Chinese supported armed Marxists in West Bengal. These Marxists take money from Indian oligarch capitalists and kill common people in West Bengal. They have rigged election after election since 1971. RSS may for the first time challenge these Marxists in their own turf and in their own way.The Government led by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh is doing nothing in Nandigram because they want India-US nuke agreement approved by the communists and also stay in power in New Delhi with the help of 60 odd seats held by these communists in the Parliament. People in Nandigram has little hope to believe the Army they admired all their life – the patriotic Indian Army will ever come to clean the area from communist thugs armed with Chinese arms and ammunitions.

I am intrigued by this article. What link has the site www.indiadaily.com got with RSS to talk authoritatively as to what RSS will do? If it is simply an article Haindava Keralam found interesting enough to quote, it should have presented it under the head "What others are saying" or something like that. All swayamsevaks know that RSS is not given to empty boasts or threats. It simply goes ahead with what has to be done and the results would be there for all to see without the RSS having to make grand announcements about it beforehand. Haindava Keralam must be cautious when quoting articles pertaining to RSS to ensure that non-RSS sources do not become spokespersons of the RSS.

Sabarimala: Pig's Droppings instead of Aravana

Sabarimala: Pig's Droppings instead of Aravana 11/18/2007 4:24:55 AM Courtesy: www.dailypioneer.comSabarimala: The conditions for the devotees who reach the temple is poor and to a certain extent worst with the long pandals almost covered with the leftovers of the droppings of the pigs which roam about.Another sorry state of affairs is the failure of the Communist Dewaswom president CK Guptan and his non believing colleagues not being able to provide one of the most important prasadam from Sabarimala, aravana payasam. The devotees who comes to this hill shrine generally takes home good quantities of this prasadam to distribute among the friends and families. According to the new stipulations of the board each devotee is allowed only five packs of it which is no match for the huge demand.The complain is that the aravana and appam, two prasadams of the lord, has to be produced in huge quantities and those who are running the administration of the temple must have a basic idea of what the consumption is and how it could be sorted out. While the Dewaswom Minister had worked round-the-clock to put the temple and its administration in place several party leaders and bureaucrats were against the decisions taken by the Minister who was trying to give as many powers to the concerned Thantri in running the affairs of the temple.In places like Malabar this is considered a must take-home with relatives and close friends waiting for the devotee to return back to have their share of the prasadam.The Hindu organisations have already come out against the poor arrangements in Sabarimala as also the infrastructural problems faced in this temple town.

Rarest Panchaloha Kundalini Ganesha idol discovered from the holy banks of Periyar

Rarest Panchaloha Kundalini Ganesha idol discovered from the holy banks of Periyar11/16/2007 6:01:09 PM HK
Aluva: One of the Rarest Panchaloha idol of Kundalini Ganapathi is discovered from the holy banks of Periyar here near Aluva Ashram. In this Unique idol, Vigneswara is accompanied with a seven hooded snake and Lord’s favourite Vahana mouse.There is a story behind the symbolic snake, rat and the singular tusk. It is said that during one of his birthdays, his mother, Parvati, cooked for him twenty-one types of delicious food and a lot of sweet porridge. Ganesh ate so much that even his big belly could not contain it. Mounting his little mouse, he embarked on his nightly rounds. His mouse suddenly stumbled upon seeing a huge snake. To adjust his belly, Ganesh put the snake on as a belt around his stomach. Suddenly, he heard laughter emanating form the sky. He looked up and saw the moon teasing him. Infuriated Ganesh, broke off one of his tusks and hurled it at the moon. Parvati, seeing this, immediately cursed the moon that whoever looks at it on Ganesh Chaturthi will be accused of a wrong doing.The symbology behind the mouse and snake and Ganesha’s big belly and its relationship to the moon on his birthday is highly philosophic. The whole cosmos is known to be the belly of Ganesha. Parvati is the primordial energy. The seven realms above, seven realms below and seven oceans, are inside the cosmic belly of Ganesha, held together by the cosmic energy - ‘kundalini’ - symbolized as a huge snake which Ganesh ties around him. The mouse is nothing but our ego. Ganesh, using the mouse as a vehicle, exemplifies the need to control our ego. One who has controlled the ego has Ganesh consciousness or God consciousness.The rare idol is at present with Kerala Police in the Station along with other confiscated properties.The Panchaloha idol may be worth lakhs in the eyes of a materialistic person, But for a devotee it’s priceless. Haindava Keralam request the Government not to shift the idol to any Archaeological departmental office or any Museums instead take necessary steps to consecrate the holy Kundalini Ganapathi in a suitable Temple as per the advice of Vedic Scholars and Astrologers.

A group of Congress workers has floated a "Secular Hindu Front" to highlight the "alienation" of the Hindu community from the party.Front Convener K Ravi Kumar said in a statement here today that the forum would organise an all India Conference in December this year.In an open letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, a copy of which was released here today, he said the party should make clear its stand on "Ram Setu, " while warning it against continuing with its alliance with the DMK. In this context, he suggested that the party engaged itself with the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu to avoid the embarrassment caused by the DMK on the Ram Setu issue.The letter highlighted the "raw deal" meted out to Hindu workers and leaders of the Congress in the party's organisational hierarchy.

Re: BJP to return power in Gujarat : Opinion Polls A massive victory for BJP will boost the Hindutwa forces all over India. Dear Gujrat!, throw away Congress,the anti Hindu, anti nation party. Proud of the brave son of Bharat Mata, Sardar Vallabh bhai Patel, the steel man of India who integrated more than 500 small kingdoms with Bharath. Jammu kashmir is the only one kingdom joined by Jawahar lal Nehru and our beloved Bharat Mata is suffering pains for the last 50 yrs due to his foolishness. So dear Gujarati brothers!, thro away congress and Sonia from Gujrat.Our nation is proud of Gujrat and Narendra Modi, the icon of Hindutwa.
K.Venugopal 11/16/2007
BJP must not take victory for granted. They have to work hard as in a do-or-die situation. Further, this would be a great opportunity to also point out during campaigns that Hindutva ideology is all about strengthening the nation (which includes all its communities) and not minority appeasement, which would only lead to a further partition of the country, which would be harmful to the minorities themselves.

Re: BJP to return power in Gujarat : Opinion Polls Shri Narendra Modi and BJP should win with a thumping majority. BJP leaders and workers must not be complacent.This is the time for hard work. Please give wide publicity to the anti-Hindu activities of the Italian Sonia Congress,under whose leadership christists are thriving,more conversions are taking place,more churches have come up,the nation's security is at risk and so on.Every Hindu in Gujarat should take personal interest to ensure a massive victory for Shri Modi.Please see to it that every supporter casts his vote. Mere oral support is of no use during an election.The support should translate into votes.We,the Hindus living outside Gujarat, should pray for the victory of Shri Modi and BJP.

More from Guruvayur

More from Guruvayur 11/16/2007 2:53:35 AM NarayanadasKrishna , Guruvayoorappa ! Dear Bhakthas ,Ground RealitiesAlthough there is a paper-Municipality called Guruvayoor , it is just a satellite of the main "Chavakkad" Municipality . The name "Chavakkad" came from the word "Shapa kkad ." Thomas the Apostle visited the area, converted Namboodiris to Christianity, and converted a Temple into a Church . Vedic Brahmanas considered this as a "shapam", or curse, so they named the city "Shappakad", later Chavakkad . Now Chavakkad is a Muslim majority area . It is known as "Mini-Gulf" because of the sizeable NRI Muslim population . Although majority of the "Locals" are wealthy , they are Selfish and not Compassionate to the sacred Land . "Hatred & Exploitation" is their cultural policy . As a result , the infrastructure facilities in place are very poor . Influential people sabotage the Government schemes and grab the allotted Land & Funds.In recent times, there has been several efforts to divert the Guruvayoor Temple Funds to develop facilities for Chavakkad . M.K.Muneer initiated this concept during his tenure as a Minister in the previous Government and it is still being pursued by current Leader . Now, P.T.Kunju Mohammed represents the Guruvayoor constituency . He is a Writer , Film director and a Leader of the so called "Purogamana Kala Sahitya Sangham" ( Progressive Art and Literary Society) . Recently, he attracted media attention with the statement :" Onam can not be called as a National festival . It is just a "Feudalist Ritual " .Almost 90% of Shops , Hotels , Auditoriums and other Business Establishments around Guruvayoor Temple is owned by the Muslim community . The previous Devaswom Boards have had initiated several projects to acquire more land around the Temple . Even the Court-verdicts were in favor of the planned Land acquisition . Unfortunately , the various Government-Authorities , have refused to act always, only because of Selfish reasons .Thus, having failed to put in place a "Secured Township" like other Shrines ( Thirupathy , etc) , the only Security barrier in place is the "Single point " Security screening in front of the Entrances to the Temple .Guruvayoorappan's Divine Helping-HandBhagavan is fully aware that , everyone except His Bhakthas are against the Temple . The Devaswom Board is constituted of Government nominated Chairman and Members, an Administrator ( Govt. Employee) , and (3) Traditional Members ( Zamorin, Thanthri & the Head of Mallisseri Namboodiri Family) . Often , only the Thanthri opposes the anti-Temple resolutions . Whenever , the Selfish authorities tried to sabotage the Temple by corrupting the "Kshethra-Acharas" OR diverting the Funds , Bhagavan intervened through His chosen Mediums . Some of the recent events in this regard , are listed below :* When Anil Kumar ( former Administrator) tried to amend the "Udayastamana Pooja" disregarding the Thantri's objection , a Court order terminated his service. * When the former Devaswom Board in collaboration with Muneer decided to divert the Temple Funds , both the Board and Muneer were kicked out of power .* When the current Devaswom Board isolated the Thantri Bhagavan intervened through the unexpected "Devaprashnam" . Selfishness Spoils DarshanMany People seeking Darshan are impatient and selfish . They view fellow-seekers as Enemies . It is alright to desire Darshan of Guruvayoorappan ., but it should not be by pushing and pulling .While seeking Darshan , one must adhere to the following without fail :1. Exercise Patience and Restraint .2. Use the time productively to chant Bhagavan's Namas .3. Perform `SEVA' by giving possible help to needy Bhakthas . If you behave rudely with a Bhaktha , you are misbehaving with Bhagavan Himself .4. It is a fine "SEVA" to lend a helping hand to keep the Temple clean . If any rubbish is noticed , you can safely place it in the dust bin . Since the entire Temple premises is Guruayoorappan's body , when your remove a dirt, you are cleaning Bhagavan Himself . Unlike similar Major Shrines elsewhere , Guruvayoor Temple is compact . The charm of a "Guruvayoor Darshan" is it's unpredictability . A faithful Bhaktha gets an opportunity to evaluate own Bhakthy-Yoga . It is Bhagavan "Leela" to test His Bhakthas . Sometimes, you don't get a proper darshan . When you start lamenting the lack of Bhakthy , suddenly Bhagavan takes you inside to give a good Darshan . These are such divine "Leelas" to be experienced and enjoyed in Guruvayoor Temple . Remember , Guruvayoor is not a mere shrine . It is "Bhooloka Vaikuntam" ( The "Vaikuntam" on Earth) which is the abode of Maha-Vishnu's "Vigraha-Avathara" (Deity Incarnation) .Om Namo Narayanaya!!!

Re: More from Guruvayur Shri Narayanadasji is right about the attitude of bhaktas. We must be more sensitive/considerate to the needs of our fellow-devotees and try to help whenever possible.Devotees of sanyasis/sanyasinis are engaged in 'sevas'.Why not the devotees of the Great Lord indulge in it?Only thing is, we should try not to give any money to the Devaswom Board who are misusing our funds.Already, they are getting enough funds.Let us not give them more opportunities to loot our money.

Dear Narayanadasji, Your writings are like Bhagavan's prasad. It is very assuring. Please keep writing.

"Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"!

"Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"!11/9/2007 7:42:10 AM B.R.HaranI have not come across in both the print & electronic media, the "Diwali Greetings" issued by the Presdient's office and the PMO.Have You?"Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"!The people of South India celebrated Diwali, the festival of lights yesterday and the people of North India celebrate today. First time in the history of independent India, the President & the Prime minister failed to greet the people for this important occasion, which is outrageous and atrocious. The President, who came to power without denying or disproving the flurry of allegations heaped on her during the period of electioneering, had only the strength of numbers as 'credits' and nothing else as creditworthy. The Prime Minister, who had the gumption to say that he had spent sleepless nights on seeing the plight of the families of terrorists & terror suspects, unfortunately didn't have the basic courtesy to greet the people on this festival, which is celebrated by the 85% majority people. The majority community never cares about the 'foreigners' and hence it is irrelevant for them whether the UPA Chairperson greets or not. As both the President and the Prime Minister had failed in their basic democratic responsibility and courtesy, they have lost the moral right to continue in their offices and hence they must resign immediately.With regards to Tamil Nadu, the Tamil people belonging to the majority community have celebrated Diwali as usual with fun and fanfare yesterday showcasing the world that they are united and integrated with the people of the rest of the country. Baring the leaders of AIADMK, BJP and the Congress, none of the others had the decency to greet the Tamil people on this great occasion. These leaders, who always attempt to separate the people from the rest of the other Indians, in the name of Tamil, failed yet again to share the happiness of their own people by greeting them.Beggars cannot be choosers, but these "vote-beggars" can be, and they always choose only the 'minorities', while shamelessly enjoying the power because of the votes of the majority. These vote-beggars always crawl at the feet of the minority people for the sake of votes while treating the people of majority community with utmost contempt.None of the media, both print & electronic, have carried the greetings of the President's office, PMO and the central and state governments and it is a disgrace that these leaders have failed in their democratic & moral duty!What an exhibition of secularism! Shame on these leaders! What they have done is unpardonable!

While I am an admirer of Shri B.R. Haran for his marvelleous writings for the Hindu cause, I must point out that the PM had indeed wished the nation on Deepavali. The following I got from the PM's site on the net. It is incumbent of eminent persons like Shri B.R. Haran not to jump to conclusions just because the papers he reads did not publish the PM's greetings. He ought to have browsed the net to get the facts. Attack anti-Hindu positions, but attack with facts. I was on the brink of writing to the PM on site http://pmindia.nic.in/write.htm, going by Shri Haran’s words. Fortunately I thought it best to check the net first. In the endeavour I stumbled upon the PM’s site. I have also confirmed that President’s and PM’s greetings were reported prominently in Hindustan Times.

PM Greets the Nation on DeepawaliNovember 8, 2007New Delhi

The Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh greeted the nation on the joyous occasion of Deepawali. In a message the Prime Minister said: “The festival of lights, Deepawali, is a festival which is a harbinger of joy, happiness and prosperity”. It celebrates the victory of good over evil, of knowledge over ignorance and of light over darkness. It is a national festival in which all communities rejoice and contribute to promoting brotherhood and camaraderie.May this Deepawali bring peace and prosperity to the people of our nation, to our neighbours and the world at large”

Re: "Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"! No wonder. In our country the vote hunters who target minority votes trying to remove any Hindu symbols for appeasement. In Kerala we remember including ministers some people tried to avoid some traditional artforms in School youth festival in the name of ‘Secularism’. True nationalists should take initiative to organize a new generation who admire Hindutva.

Re: "Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"! Does Hindhus have the guts to vote in a Hindhu political party to power? I guess not! We are destined to whine!Ironically, living in Kerala, even the leaders are not focussed enough for the cause! Pity!

Re: "Vote-beggars" can be "Choosers"! THRASH THEM WITH CHAPPALS WHEREVER YOU SEE THEM! Dear Hindu brothers and sisters, this humiliation is unprecedented. Don't forgive your 'minority' enemy ruler and allow this torture even for your children. Finish them politically, rubbish them forever. Take oath that you will never cast them your vote anytime in future and will ONLY give your vote to Rightwing Hindus alone. Jai Shri Rmachandra ji ki. Jai Maha Kali Mata ki. Jai Bhajaranga Bali ki.

I disagree with Concerned Hindu. Haindava Keralam has done well in exposing the charlatan. Likely that this chap is our donkey Minister Sudhakaran's guru!

Cioncerned Hindu 11/11/2007
Haindavakeralam will be well advised Not to give any publicity to these charlatans and impostors!Please take care in future before posting such stupid news stories and items and not to give undue publicity to our enemies!HK would be well advised to give more coverage for Swami Sandeep Chaitanya's and other personalities like him, Amma, Sri Sri Ravishankar,and others in their wonderful efforts.

Bibles Banned at 2008 Beijing Olympics

Bibles Banned at 2008 Beijing Olympics11/14/2007 4:33:53 AM CBNNews.com – reports that Organizers for the 2008 Olympics in China have included ‘Bible’ in their list of items banned from the Olympic village. The committee cited "security reasons" for the ban.Athletes are also prohibited from bearing any kind of religious symbol at Olympic facilities.There are some 10 million Catholics in China, divided between an "underground" church loyal to the Vatican and the state-approved church that respects the Pope as a spiritual figurehead but rejects effective papal control.Currently in China, five bishops and 15 priests are in prison for opposing the state-approved church.The move seems to counter the Missionary misuse of game to use this opportunity to spread the message of Bible-rather than participating in the game.It will be interesting to know the comments of Communist in Kerala who holds an unholy nexus with church in this issue from their holy land China.

This once again shows the Communist mentality of intolerance. Actually Communism, Christianity and Islam share the same mentality of intolerance to opposing points of view. In Kerala it was demonstrated recently in the 'last sacrament' controversy, where the Church did not want a communist to die a communist and the Communists did not want a comrade to have anything to do with Christianity even at his dying hour.

Congress protest by Beating, Tearing and Burning Lord Ganapathy

Congress protest by Beating, Tearing and Burning Lord Ganapathy11/14/2007 5:28:01 AM HKThiruvananthapuram:

Portrayal of Lord Maha Ganapathy’s picture with the head of Chief minister Achuthanandan by congress is the latest episode of Hindu Humiliation in the state.Farmer’s wing of Congress deliberately chose the picture of Ganapathy in their protest march against Palm Oil import in the state. The protest march led by former Cultural affairs minister and Senior Congress leader Karthikeyan and M A Vahid MLA crossed all limits of decency by standing aloof by witnessing the burning of Ganapathy’s picture by the congress workers.The workers at first broke Coconut infront of Ganapathi’s picture, Then slammed at the picture with saplings of coconut trees and finally they teared off the picture and set it to fire!HK Would like to ask the Congress leadership1)Why Vahid MLA couldn’t come up with the picture of Prophet depicted by Danish cartoonist for this protest march?2)Will the Congress leaders dare to ridicule the picture of Jesus or Mary in a similar way?3) Whether Congress too want to join the Communist bandwagon and secure the Minority vote by ridiculing Hindu gods?4)A Congress leader from Karnataka filed a case recently against a BJP leader, just because he questioned the legitimacy of Sonia Gandhi-If you cannot even tolerate that ,why expect that you can go Scott free by ridiculing Hindus 5)Will you tolerate the burning of the pictures of Mahathma Gandhi or Jawaharlal Nehru?Hindu Organizations should immediately file case in court for this attempt to ridicule the Majority community in a most uncivilized manner. Congress leaders should apologize openly for the disrespect shown to Hindu gods and hurting the sentiments of Millions of Hindus across the world

The bloody bastards, how dare. They don't deserve to live.

K.Venugopal 11/14/2007
It appears that Congress has moved from Muslim appeasement to Muslim mentality. All the persons involved in burning a depiction of Ganapathi must be photographically identified and individual cases filed against them. Would request Haindava Keralam to publish photos of the heinous act, if available, to expose the anti-Hindu Congress mentality.
