Opp Cong intensify hatred against Hindus The Congress and the other party in the opposition benches in the Karnataka State Assembly which popped up on the scene did nothing to ease the situation. Instead they provoked the sentiments of the Christians to further intensify their hatred against the Hindus and the ruling BJP. It is certainly not wrong to say that the opposition Congress and the JD(S) caused the communal tension which would have been long forgotten by now.Given this, it is certainly not wrong to conclude that the instigator...

Tactics and Propaganda of Proselytization Ours is an era of capitalism-an era marked by financial prowess, controlled by financial czars, and ruled by corrupt politicos. The greatest weapon of our times is not one that kills the bodys power to breathe, but the one which kills the minds power to reason-propaganda. Any person or institution which successfully utilizes this system is the one who can be victorious in all endeavors. Organizations in this country, apart from political parties, who use propaganda are Christian missionary insti...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Nationalism-A Concept Alien to Islam As an egalitarian nation, India has the constitutional obligation to guard the religious liberties of every citizen. Hence, recently, when Mohammad Zubair, a corporal with the Indian Air Force, was ordered to shave off his beard to maintain uniformity, he took no time in moving the countrys judicial system. A true Muslim must keep his beard, contended Zubairs attorney, stating that it was an essential part of his faith as per the Hadith and Sunna (recorded customs). We have the constitutional ri...

The Rise and Reign of Sheikh With the objective of perpetuating their rule on the vast Indian subcontinent, the British made two things the foundation of all their political activities. First was the divide and rule diplomacy and secondly, the arrangement of able agents and even stooges for implementing this appropriately in the political setup.The rulers of Indian states too, played their role in strengthening the British political base. These Rajas and Maharajas neither dared nor thought it proper to oppose the foreign po...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Islamic Fanaticism, No Economic Backw.. Its almost a month since Jammu began, what seems to be, an insuppressible agitation against the Governor and the pro-partisan and Muslim-appeasing politicians on their refusal to re-allot the land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) for providing facilities to Hindu pilgrims visiting Amaranth. The depth of resentment is evident looking at an incident which occurred on July 22, when Kuldeep Raj Dogra, in his mid-30s, while participating in a hunger strike at Jammus Parade ground, consumed poison...

Constitutionally Recognized Separatism During the time of Indias partition, in the year 1947, all the states of the subcontinent were given the rights, under the Indian Independence Act, to accede either to India or Pakistan. Displaying his grand statesmanship the then Indian Union Home Minister, Sardar Patel, succeeded in merging 565 princely states with the Indian Union. As a result of obstinacy and rigidity of Hyderabad and Junagarh, Sardar Patel merged them by employing military means.But the issue of Jammu & Kashmir was retained...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Nuclear Deal and National Polity Congress led UPA government is chaos. It is now living amidst fright of loosing its majority in parliament after the row over Indo-US nuclear deal. The intimidation to the Congress, in specific, doesnt seem to be easing down - in any way. And it is all happening because of Indo-US nuclear deal.Lefts revulsion to the deal is due to its inborn anti-American sentiments, owing to its Marxist ideology and proclivity towards the Communist China. Samajwadi Partys certitude to stand by the Congress Part...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Islam and Peace Over the internet I have come to know of a very interesting group of people who have with them but one agenda: of convincing masses of Islam is a religion of peace. Frankly I have had no issues with them, whatsoever, initially. As a firm believer in mutual co-existence and free speech I found the issue, chosen by them, to be close to my heart and, also, to be the need of the hour.I was, then, even relaxed to know that there were finally some men, that too within Islam itself, attempting to undo ...

The Reactionary Hinduism Its virtually impossible to describe the word Hindu. You can define Muslim, Christian and people of other faiths quiet accurately, but not Hindu.Many deem that all Hindus are idolaters - thats certainly not true. Arya and Brahma Samajis are also Hindus, but are completely critical of Idol Worship. If you assume that Hindus are the one who adhere to Bhagavad-Gita as the ultimate Holy Scripture - Shaivas, followers of Shiva, would beg with you to differ. Sincerely, there is no description which ca...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Confessions of a Bibliophile I am a Bibliophile. Reading has been the best source of inspiration for me. I have found it to be the best mode of enlightening myself and also to comprehend skill of others, as a fellow writer. It is mostly through reading that I have learnt to structure a tale, describe character, delineate action, judge what works and what does not. A writer, some say, is always hunting, looking to snatch or steal, discovering what to avoid and what to make their own, this is emphatically accurate in my case....	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Break the walls When I met MJ Akbar (MJ) for the first time at his office in Green Park, New Delhi, we had a very transitory interaction. Though not much noticeable happened, in the last minutes of discussion, however, he made a statement which was to make a lasting impression on me - for life. We have built walls for generations. now its time to break them down. he said, as I hopelessly agreed.For over hundreds of years walls have been built and fortified in this country. Its stronger than the walls erected by...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
BJP, Cong cant constrain monster they cre.. The 1857 uprising, though for a short time, unnerved the British. After the event, to ensure that this never occurred for a again, Britons began commencing a series of real politick measures. The Bengal army which had shown alarming camaraderie during the mutiny was disbanded. Calumny against the Brahmins, for having presented the ideological leaven for the revolt along with constituting an all India framework for the movement, was doubled. The unity of Hindus and Muslims, which was unmistakably...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
After Arrack went off the Rack Father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi, had no place for alcohol in his grand vision for India. In prompt compliance to this vision, his condemnation was written into the constitution. All the states, according to it, are supposed to be making it gradually more complicated to obtain alcohol until none is available. The motives of our founding fathers were commendable: in rural India booze is a dominant anaesthetic against the pains of destitution and yet it exacerbates that deprivation and ruins f...

Karnataka Elections: Who will loose? The election campaigning is going on in full swing in Karnataka. The destiny of the state polls would also decide the next Lok-Sabha (LS) elections due next year. It is well anticipated that if BJP is to be triumphant Congress is sure to put off the early elections. If not, premature LS polls are assured.In the helm of affairs while H D Deve Gowda is acting as a proverbial Jackass, Congress is trying its level best to prove itself as the most principled and ideal party to rule. For all deserving...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
Seed of hatred begets destruction When Pakistan was born it was simply based on abhorrence towards the Hindus. When Zimbabwe marched in its path to freedom it carried along hatred against the white skinned people. Almost all of the middle-eastern nations were brought to existence out of the hatred for the other races and religions. There is a saying in various Indian (or Hindu) texts, which reads If hatred is thy reason, it shall bring nothing but destruction. Great Indian Sages starting from Vedic seers like Jaimini and Veda Vy...	U Prabhu	Add Comment
