Open letter to Mr. Shahrukh Khan (SRK) Of late, we have been reading about your opinions and statements on matters beyond the celluloid world. Nothing is wrong in it. You live in a free, democratic country and are entirely entitled to your opinion. But as a common man, also from the same soil, I think I have the right too to raise a few points that may not conform to your views of the real world.I hope you will read it out.When recently, the Pakistani players were not selected for the IPL, it was almost predictable that NDTV, the awa...	Arindam B	Dial V.Gidwani: SRK or MR. KHAN ARE NOT REAL KHAN.

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 ...	Arindam B	Gogs: Why Congress is fooling around the whole Indian population? Why aide on the caste basis? Don"t you think, Poor Muslim or poor Hindu have the same rights to get the aide for education. I appreciate Mr Modi to stand out and pointing out such unconstitu.... [8 comments]
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...	Arindam B	NAVIN: A very nice article revealing the real drawbacks for both(1)Indian secularism and (2)Plight of Hindu society in India itself.It seems there is a great need of awareness among Hindus that this is not a political issue,but it is a social/Ethnic issue w....

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 ...	Arindam B	common sense: Indians have selected and elected their leaders. Are they good or bad, time only will tell! [5 comments]
Rebuttal: Taliban is already in India This is a RESPONSE BY ARINDAM BANDYOPADHYAY TOThe Taliban is already amidst us in India, by Jyotirmaya SharmaTHEY WILL NOT COME FROM PAKISTAN, (you are right, some of them are already in India and demonstrate their talents from time to time in the serial bombings of the various cities, not to mention the ones that are frequent visitors in Kashmir for ages. Others when they come will be from a place that would be former Pakistan after the actual Talibans are done with that country) THEY ARE HERE ...	Arindam B	Ravi: Brilliant response!! [3 comments]
Narendra Modi as Prime Minister - Part I The recent drama that evolved when Anil Ambani, Sunil Mittal, Ratan Tata and other industrialists lauded Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the investors summit in Gujarat, claiming his leadership as national level material and wishing that person like him should be the next leader of the country, was quite interesting and deserves an honest appraisal....	Arindam B	Tag Pillay: Since India was ruled by Mughals (Mongols), British and currently Indian Congress, I do not see why India should not return to her genuine rulers such as Modi like in the last Golden era of Krishna Deva Raya. [14 comments]
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. ...

Why we need Modi as PM? - Part III Eminent writer-activist Mahasweta Devi, recently praised Gujarat, I have been to Gujarat many times, especially during the 2002 communal killings. ..I was deeply impressed to see the strong work culture in Gujarat. The city and village roads are well-built, even the remotest villages have electricity and access to drinking water. I was especially impressed with the medical facilities in the panchayats and local-level health centers... Comparing to the over 30 years of the communist Government ru...	Arindam B	Sushil Chandra: Sushil: Since his election last time as Chief Mininster of Gujarat, I always had the feeling that Mr. Modi is the right person to be Prime Minister of India. However, it is hard to see how that can be acheived, since Indians are not united and read.... [9 comments]
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...	Arindam B	Add Comment
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...	Arindam B	Add Comment
Are Hindus Violent? - Part 2 Many of us do not realize that Jesus was neither a Christian nor did he start Christianity. Christianity, as we know today, was compiled by his followers over the next few centuries. In close association with western imperialism, Christianity has successfully conquered majority of the world by centuries of violence, causing extinction of pagan ancient civilizations of the Greek, the Romans, the Red Indians, the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Australian aborigines and the indigenous African population. ...	Arindam B	KISHALOY: NO, HINDUS ARE NOT VIOLENT BUT BUT SOMEONE LIKE TO HARM THE COUNTRY THEN THEY HARM AND ACT LIKE A HUNGRY TIGER [15 comments]
Are Hindus Violent? - Part 1 In recent times Hindu organizations like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal, are increasingly, accused of propagating violence. In Orissa and Karnataka, Hindus stand indicted for homicide and Church destruction in response to the brutal murder of a Hindu Swami and to aggressive Christian evangelism. Some politicians, English media and Islamic leaders have raised a chorus, despite the proud claims of responsibility by Islamic terrorist groups and firm evidence collected by the invest...

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...	Arindam B	Janet Xavier - DUBAI: Firstly, howsoever powerful the person in question, your analysis of his opinions is uncalled for. There is no need to disproportionately blow up the issue and stoke the fires of hatred further. The media does that job effectively. Educated and erudi.... [1 comments]
Interview of an Evangelist in India This is a hypothetical interview of Father Johnson’ after his award by the Government of India for his exemplary work in India in enlightening the people in the path of the ONLY God. Father Johnson returned to the USA after 10 years of service, to uplift the people of India in the name of God. The interview was taken in July 2005 by a journalist in Houston, USA……...
