Varadarajan at hindu: a secular liability This is apropos of Siddharth Varadarajan Where silence prevails, justice will not [The Hindu ] The newspaper has long been known to be an impotent lapdog of degenerate commie propaganda. In a recent article, its editor N Ram was glorifying the annihilation of Tibetan culture, society and civilization by the Chinese on the pretext of saving them from serfdom while on a Chinese govt. sponsored trip to Tibet. The moral vacuity of a news editor who tomtoms obvious Chinese propaganda machinery as the...

"Secular" Bharat Ratna Bharat Ratna is the highest civilian award for national service. The order was established by Dr Rajendra Prasad, President of India, on January 2, 1954. Today, there are 41 Bharat Ratna winners in India, the last being Bhimsen Joshi. And yet, there are noticeable absentees. Mahatma Gandhi, the most conspicuous but since he was already elevated to the father of the nation, his posthumous soul automatically opted out of the race. But there was no Sardar Patel either, the iron man of India until 1...	S Basu	Dr. Ketan Patel: Feedback sent to Author: National-awards:-Secular-Bharat-Ratna It seemed from the language that author might be anti-congress and pro-BJP! But my friends say same for me when I talk to them in political issues! Matter of fact is that it"s the trut.... [1 comments]
Terrorism: A Questionable response Terrorism in the name of one particular religion is haunting humanity today. Two months have elapsed since 26/11 and the masterminds behind the attack are still at large. Why the Indian government and security agencies have failed to safeguard the lives and properties of innocent Indians and when can we put a full stop to terror? The answer to this vexed question lies in answering those politically incorrect others which escape public discourse. ...	S Basu	A.Moron: Why do you think Exchange of Population is impossible when it was implemented only a few years ago in the former Yugoslavia between Croatia and Serbia and Serbia and Bosnia. It was also implemented in 1992 between Armenia and Azerbaizan. Georgia in 1.... [4 comments]
Slumdog Millionaire: Racial prejudice cont.. This ostentatious display of anti Hindu sentiment is of course lost on the jingoists or those ABCDs who go gaga over such pernicious cinema. Sincere critics questioning the dumb plot where a slum boy grows up into a sophisticated leftist JNU product with a flawless English accent are censured by appealing to the authority of the Golden globe awards. They keenly forget the film was precisely designed for that, appeal to the racial sensitivities of those who really matter! Therefore, even the libe...	S Basu	g kapuria: It remains to be established whether the author of Slumdog is a Hindu or a Secularist. We know very little about the whole thing. [31 comments]
Swami Vivekananda: A legacy denied Vivekananda was the first Indian who impacted the West despite criticizing Christianity and asserting Hindu superiority. Unlike Gandhis irrationality in considering Western civilization to be a spurious antithesis of the pure Indian counterpart despite himself imitating the ideas of Christ, Rosseau and Tolstoy; Vivekananda cherished the values and achievements of both despite the influence of no foreign thinker on him. His influence on Sri Aurobindo who represents the last viable fusion of the E...	S Basu	g kapuria: The best books I know of Swamiji are written by Rajagopal Chattopadhyaya. Swami Vivekananda in the west, and Swami Vivekananda in India: A corrective Biography. Both are well-researched, balanced books. [4 comments]
War is now inside my home, not country I am afraid now the war is raging inside my house and not on the countrys borders. My PM is telling me not to be afraid and to keep calm and maintain peace and harmony. He is not angry and his body language conveyed that everything is under control. But my PM has Z Plus security which is perhaps why he is not agitated. I am an ordinary citizen. How can I remain calm when my own house is on fire? - An anguished Indian, Naresh Kumar Jains letter to the PM published in The Hindu ...	S Basu	common sense: If every inch of India is a home of every Indian, the war was in their home for years! Find ways to help stem the tide of terrorism instead of playing the blame game.

The invention of a Hindu terrorist I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy...	S Basu	Truth Speaks: Another eye opener from Saurav. I urge all IC readers to forward this article to all their friends and relatives. Time to defend our faith, religion and culture. We can"t let India destroyed by Italians, Rome, Pakistan and China. [1 comments]
SCR Conspiracy to divide India, Book Review This timely book (by Rakesh Sinha, others: Bharatiya Vichar Manch, Karnavati) explores the controversial high level Sachar Committee report, part of the array of unwarranted sops to Muslim votebanks by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singhs UPA government. In 2005, the Government of India constituted a committee to report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in India. It was a seven member committee headed by Justice Rajindar Sachar. Popularly the committee is known a...	S Basu	Add Comment
Anti Hindu terror and its rationalization The new myth floated by the secular media postulates that backward and riot hit areas serve as breeding grounds of terror. This is just old wine in a new bottle; rationalizing Islamic fundamentalism by creating justifications for the same instead of accepting the central dogma of jihad enshrined within Islamic theology as the root and stem of terror. After all, the secular media has a history of drawing parity between Islamic fundamentalisms and so called Hindu fundamentalism. In 1985, when a pe...	S Basu	Jyotindra Khandwalla: Feedback sent to Author: Anti-Hindu-terror-and-its-rationalization This is what I wrote in a blog: Bajrang Dal, VHP, require Public Relations Experts, to guide them on their future course of action all through India, keeping the General Election ....

Catholic Nun, Hindu Swami & English Media The rape of a Catholic Nun in Kandhmal by suspected Kandh tribals has intensified the Congress-led UPA governments fascist intention to dismiss the popularly elected, two term chief minister Naveen Patnaik heading the BJD-BJP coalition, hypocritically disowning their own legacy of failure under Congress Chief Minister J B Patnaik when Graham Staines was burnt to death by Dara Singh, a lone tribal ranger.Big font headlines in English dailies over an event which considering the explosive situation...	S Basu	Vijay: The world of islam and christianity was at the hindu for a thousand years. All they could do was bringing a small dent. Frustrated as they are they are at maligning the hindu at the drop of hat. They forget the inherent strength of the hindu. As Shak.... [3 comments]
Godhra revisited After six agonizing years of wait, it is not justice they seek. It is not restoration of their lives and compensation they seek. It is also not hope of passing sentence on the perpetrators of this most murderous of crimes, as also the thousands who actively aided the cause) in the name of a particular religion they profess). For the relatives and sympathizers of the scores of Hindu men, women and children either burnt to death or who survived with scars for life; what they have been awaiting is...

Message in Laxmanananda"s murder & after.. On 23rd August, 2008 Swami Laxmananda Saraswati and four others (including two minors) were shot dead at an Ashram for girls in the Kandhamal district of Orissa just on the eve of Janamashtami celebrations. While the police suspect Maoists behind the attack, there is more to it than meets the eye. For, this grand old man of 85 years had been at the vanguard of the anti conversion drive amongst tribals in the undivided Phulbani district of Orissa, which raised the ire of fundamentalist Christian...	S Basu	g kapuria: Excellent gathering of information. There should be a judicial probe of the activities of World Vision. [1 comments]
The Rise of Totalitarian India K Lakshmana used to be a 26 yr old, cheerful employee working with HCL in Bangalore. On August 31 in the early hours of the day he was blissfully sleeping when he was rudely awaken with a jolt. He was facing a dozen cops who ordered him to be get immediately dressed since it was going to be a long ride. He was told he was being arrested for defaming Shivaji? A terrified Lakshmana pleaded that he did not know any Shivaji? Of course you do, the cops retorted; we are referring to Chhatrapathi Shiva...

Trust vote: PM hiding behind charades? The UPA government smooth switch of allies from lal to dalal has been hailed by most sections of our popular media proving how corrupting tendencies has invaded even the fourth estate. Amar Singh and his cohorts have been squarely implicated for buying MPs through we all which industrialists money but the channel which was supposed to telecast the tape has surrendered the idea itself by latching on the lame excuse that their investigations were not complete. Perhaps, Rajdeep Sardesai needs to be...	S Basu	A.Moron: There should be a total investigation about these corruptions. when you see Sibu Soren, you can smell corruption. [2 comments]
Reservation: Unmaking Of Constitution This article is a response to those pro reservationists who have been claiming ad infinitum that reservation is their birthright and they shall have it! Popular media has not ever addressed the veracity of this claim and instead maintained this dogma as some axiomatic truth without any critical inquiries. The irony is that even an impartial international scholar like Thomas Weiskoff considers the framers of the Indian constitution be in favour of policies of affirmative action in stark contrast ...
