Media, Muslims and Modi
Pick up any topic on Gujarat now-a-days. Watch it through the prism of minority-ism and see if the color changes favorably. Adjust the brightness and the contrast appropriately to see if you can create a Muslim victim-hood picture that is acceptable to the pseudo-secular market. Then touch it up at the right places with a brush dipped in the universally available NMBPS (Narendra Modi Bashing Paint Solution). You end up with a perfect painting that is fit to grace the India media. To enhance its ...

BJP"s defeat: The Hindu perspective
The BJP has lost in the recently concluded Lok Shabha 2009 elections. The political party, conceived as the face of Hindu interest has lost to the dynastic Congress Party. The people of India, the land of ancient Hindu civilization, with over 700 million electorate, arguably 80% of whom are Hindus, participated and chose not to elect the party that is accused of being communal and non-secular for promoting Hindu agendas and looking after Hindu concerns. Logically then one has to raise the follow...

Mr PM, Indias needs better leaders
Our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh thinks Indias global standing will diminish and its image as a liberal, secular democracy take a beating if Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, whom the BJP has projected as next-in-line to LK Advani, ever becomes Prime Minister. Let it be clear that when he said global, the PM perhaps meant the western countries and USA and may be the oil rich Middle eastern nations and not Zimbabwe or Rwanda. It is interesting that the Prime minister did not find it against ...

Modi as PM - Divisive politics - Part II
In a country plagued by religion, caste and creed based politics, which dates back from the British era and which is faithfully nurtured by most political parties, Modi stands apart. Im a living example of casteless politics. I am an OBC and I come from a most backward caste.. The fact that I have no caste base helps me because no one says I take decisions based on caste. ...

Are you scared of Hindus, Brinda Karat?
Congratulations Mrs Brinda Karat. You are the first in history of mankind to have dubbed the entire Hindu community as Fundamentalist. . Not even the Pope or the Imam had the insight to think about it before. Its a pity that so far there has not been an accolade from the anti-Hindu, pseudo secular, quasi-intelligent ilk, that you represent. Perhaps our Prime Minister will soon render an apology on behalf of the Hindus and consider you for next years Bharat Ratna award.Surely you are ecstatic tha...

Are Hindus Violent? - Part 3
One question does arise - why is our media, politicians and human right activists so biased and one-sided. Is it just their naivety? Is it their lack of self esteem, resulting from centuries of foreign rule? Is it fear from otherwise becoming the target of wrath of minority extremists? Or is there some other vested interest like power, money and influence? Do they really hate the faith of their motherland so much that they cannot see through the nefarious designs? Why is the Indian media, specia...

Are Hindus Violent? - Part 2

Stop slandering India and Hinduism
Ever since Friedrich Max Muller’s effort in translating the Vedas, with a desire to change the fate of India and the growth of millions of souls’, and an objective of uprooting all that has sprung from it during the last 3000 years’, the western world has relentlessly worked to undermine Indian culture and civilization and continue to do so even today. Starting from the creation of the myth of the nomadic Aryans invading India and writing the Vedas, to the concoction of the Indo-European origina...
