Inquisition of Goa: Will Pope apologize? - I
Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. - Voltaire (French Philosopher, 1694-1778)Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, find, imprisoned: yet we have not advanced one inch towards humanity.

SIMI vs. BAJRANG DAL
We hear quite often Mulayam Singh and few other leaders shouting to ban Bajrang Dal in response to ban on SIMI. The first step of the Government should have been to arrest this leader who is advocating SIMI. The law loves to beat the poor. Rich Muslims and Mulayam Singh would not be touched. But any poor Muslim advocating SIMI can be easily arrested. Though, advocating wrong thing is wrong and arrest is the first step that should take place, but why are the leaders not touched? However, if reade...

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...

USA Fin Crisis and Lesson for India
An open, competitive and liberalized financial market can effectively allocate scarcer resources in a manner that promotes stability and prosperity far better than government intervention, Henry Paulson, the U.S Treasury secretary said in Shanghai in March 2007. This year it sounds like a big joke given the fact that both the United States and UK government s are nationalizing banks and financial institutions in order to avoid a complete meltdown of their financial system.

The medicine is not new but it is the classic remedy coming from the International Monetary Fund to reduce money supply in an economy facing inflation, irrespective of the nature of the disease.Wha...

Hindu-American Democrats Dilemma
The political scene of 1960s and the charisma of John F. Kennedy, running for president of United States of America, Ask not what the country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country reverberated. I had the pride and pleasure of getting Ph.D., and a decade later, in acquiring the citizenship of USA in 1974. Pretty soon I registered as a member of the Democratic Party for good and started thinking as an Indo-American rather than an Indian in America. As I had always despised the Repub...

Our weak resolve emboldened terrorists
Islamic terror was an event waiting to happen conceptualized far earlier than what are claimed to be sentinel events. These so called trigger events only served to accelerate the pace of this monstrosity and force out into the open.When we seek a justification for these dastardly acts where none exists, we weaken our resolve and embolden the terrorists imbuing them with a false sense of righteousness. This is the biggest fallacy of our anti-terror drive: a lack of clear thinking that befuddles o...

Indian Muslims: Dealing with Past
Indian Muslims have taken opposite path of denial, distortion and deflection. They have received more than generous help from allies like Marxist, Fabian Socialist, Islamist etc. who are co-travelers on this path.
