Defeating Ideology of Islamic Terrorism
The terrorist attack executed in Mumbai in a commando style operation, reminiscent of 9/11 was executed after careful planning, preparation, training and ideological conditioning. It was not the work of some disgruntled elements, who took law into their own hands, and went on a shooting spree. A new batch of terrorists had been graduated from Terrorism School, and sent to Mumbai on their deadly mission.The US must bear great responsibili...
Kalyan V Swathi: I agree with all the comments on Hinduism, terrorism, and Islam. Is there a way to promote Hindu awareness, adress terrorism, and promote Peace- as I feel that the root cause ( to a large extent) of choas in this world is anger and ignorance that lea.... [3 comments]
Terrorism and our Response
Terrorists are products of a Terrorism producing Infrastructure. A Terrorism Producing Infrastructure is itself a product of an Ideology that creates such an infrastructure. Merely focusing our energies and attention to the business of identifying, targeting and neutralizing individual terrorists, or terrorist cells, or terrorist groups is an insufficient response to terrorism. Because, no sooner that one terrorist has been caught, put behind bars or killed, several others take his place. No soo...
Kalyan V Saurav Basu: A brilliant article...Actually Arun Shourie also a man possessed with a razor sharp intellect suggested the same in one of his essays nearly 15 yrs back in "Indian Controversies" Can you also debunk Rafif Zakaria"s "Mohammed and the Quran" which t.... [2 comments]
Hindu Identity - Why and Why not
Ever since the Rig Veda said Ekam Sat Viprah Bahauda Vadanti, Sanatana Dharma has fostered a diversity of beliefs, systems, paths and practices. Even in the conception of the one Brahman, being manifested as many Gods, i.e. many Devatas, this essentially pluralistic, liberal framework has prevailed in our Aryadesha. Even as a spirit of Live and Let Live has informed and permeated our civilization, it has progressively given rise to numerous sects, sub-sects and sub-identities, that learnt to liv...

Terrorism and our Response
Blasts have rocked Bangalore and Ahmedabad within days of each other, following earlier attacks in Jaipur. More threats have been issued, and it seems we are just getting ready for this battle. The road ahead is long and difficult, primarily because there are numerous difficulties in fighting this menace called terrorism. The Government of India, no matter whether it is UPA ruled, or NDA ruled is terribly inadequate to tackling this singular task of protecting its citizens from further attacks.I...

Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagvad Gita
In the Bhagvad Gita, Shri Krishna encourages Arjuna to fight the Kauravas, in a bloody fratricidal war for the kingdom of Bharata. This happened a long time ago, perhaps around 3000 BCE. The kingdom had been usurped by the Kuru Prince Duryodhana, who was loathe to share power with the sons of Pandu. Krishna helped Arjuna recover his vision and balance, and recognize his responsibility and undertake the Mahabharata war, without being attached to the results of his actions. Do not yield to unmanli...

India & problem of Secularism - II
Indias civilizational character, is patently and dominantly Hindu. Whether we call this Hinduism, or call this Sanatana Dharma, or Arya Dharma or the Indic Civilization, or Hindutva, it does not really matter. These days, the word Hindu has become too politically charged with meaning - One can only say that India is not predominantly Hindu by mis-representing what Hinduism is fundamentally; by narrowing down what is meant by the term Hinduism into a creed or religion comparable to Islam and Chri...
Kalyan V Leela: well written article. I hope someone has a good grasp of psycho-socio-economic underpinnings of the conversion mania. We as Hindus are trying to tackle the smoke with emotionally charged rhetoric, but not able to see the cause of the fire. No use bla.... [1 comments]
I am a secular Hindu, you all are communal
Today Secularism is the fashion in India. It is the “in” brand. It is the brand to give oneself, lest one be called “communal”. Many Hindus who are born in Hindu families, who carry the seeds of their Sanatana Dharma in their blood and their consciousness, have become ardent and vocal secularists. This article is addressed to the Secular Hindus, and is an effort to engage their minds, in the hope that some of them may be open to a fresh evaluation. First of all there are two kinds of Secular Hin...
