Remembering the Horrors of Nuclear Attack
Hiroshima Day is not a day of celebration; it is a day of remembrance. This sombre observance is a reminder of a quarter of a million souls who have perished due to a single catastrophic explosion on a bright and beautiful sunny Monday morning of the 6th of August 1945 in Hiroshima, brought about by an American nuclear attack. The uranium fuelled atom bomb detonated at 8.15 am, 600 meters (2000 feet) above the ground surface, in a calculated devilish design to maximise the devastation, reduced t...
N Das S.Ghosh: USSR already made a separate arrangement for the surrender for Japan on 8th August 1945 (Gar Alperovitz, The Decision To Use The Atomic Bomb And The Architecture Of An American Myth, Knopf, New York, 1995). There was no hostility between Japan an.... [2 comments]
N-Deal is Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty
Although the Indian media and the government wants to promote the Vienna Treaty with the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the Indo-US 123 deal in terms of power generation, the deal has very little to do with power generation. After signing these treaties India will not be able to import technology or materials for the military part of the nuclear sector from any of the countries of the NSG, including Russia. Thus, Indias nuclear weapons programme will disappear. This is the real aim of the Vie...

Response II - Karan Thapar-Whos Hindu?
There are people who think they are literates of highest order, when actually, they do not understand even the A B C D of life. From this article Mr. Karan Thapar proved that he is also one among them. Dr. Arindam Bandyopadhyay already gave a good reply to him. Yet I am sure, Mr. Thapar is not that matured enough to understand Dr. Arindams reply. So, I am trying to put things in a manner which a child can understand.Which is good - a united family or a divided family? I would not be surprised if...
Chanchal Saji Philip: Feedback sent to Author: Response-to-Karan-Thapars-Article-Whos-the-real-Hindu? Dear Chanchal This is not really a response to your comments / Dr. Arindam"s response to Karan Thapar. I went through Mr. Thapar"s deliberations, Dr. Arindam"s resp.... [91 comments]
Response to HTimes "Whos real Hindu?"
(This is a response by Dr. Arindam Bandyopadhyay to the article by By Mr. Karan Thapar, Whos the real Hindu? Hindustan Times, August 30, 2008)Dear Mr. Thapar,I am responding to your recent article Whos the real Hindu? Hindustan Times. Hope you will have the opportunity to see it - Dr. Arindam Bandyopadhyay.Does the VHP have the right to speak for you or I?(Definitely not for you, even if I am to assume that you are a Hindu, may be accidentally by birth, as was claimed by our first Prime Minister...
Arindam B pat parthasarathy: excellent rebuttal Dr. AB ji. I have two questions: 1. Did HT even bother to say it will or will not publish this reply? 2. Can it be published - the stupid piece by Thapar and your reply on our blog so many people can read and spread the msg. .... [68 comments]
Hoax Called Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - II
In the previous part, we had gleaned through hitopadesha to understand the message of ancient AchArya of politics about vasudhaiva kuTumbakam, encapsulated in a pair of satirical fables. Far from coming as an ideal or a recommendation, the shloka there was made to come from a shrewd subversionist, the lesson being that one has to exercise discretion from unwittingly trusting such brotherhood-preachers, and that the price for befriending and sheltering the wrong kind under the influence of such u...

Orissa Backlash in Faraway Kerala
Kerala has the largest number of Christians accounting for 20 per cent of its population, constituting 26 per cent of the total population of Christians in the country. Nowhere else but in Kerala might the backlash of the Orissa violence be strong enough to create never-before communal schism. That Kerala priests and nuns proselytizing in Orissa are directly involved and affected is unfortunately not the reason, though.The Catholic Church in Kerala has been finding itself very unpopular ever sin...

Raj Thackeray vs M. F. Hussain
Mrs. Jaya Bachchan says something for Hindi speaking people (to be noted: she did not abuse Marathi) and not only she but also her husband is made to apologize within no time. And the apology is If we have hurt the sentiments of even a single Maharashtrian, we apologize as our intention was not to do so.M. F. Hussain paints not only Hindu Deities nude, but also makes our Bharat mata nude. No doubt, it hurt the sentiments of millions of Hindus. There is not voice in media that could demand a stat...

New Cold War and Implications for India
A new cold-war has already emerged between USA and Russia, which may have significant implications for India in near future and can alter all strategic plans of India regarding its positions in the world and its economic policy. Russia, in response to Georgias attempt to invade South Ossetia, where the population of 70,000 have Russian citizenship, has declared both South Ossetia and Abkhazia, both parts of Georgia, as independent nations and sends its army to protect them. Russia also controls ...

The Kashmir Problem and its solution
Kashmir is burning once again and the renewed communal conflicts are coming back to haunt India. The Problem regarding the disputed region of Jammu and Kashmir has recently provoked a possible nuclear war between India and Pakistan. The problem was originated in 1947 and there is no sign that it will be resolved given the rigid stand taken by both India and Pakistan. This paper has tried to analyze the problem to provide a realistic solution.The problem has its origin in the partition of the Bri...
D Basu R.Sharma: India can ask Putin to take care of Kashmir for one year. I am sure he can solve the problem in the way he has solved the problem in Chechenya. [17 comments]
Kaya Yoga: Road to happiness, health& long..
Kaya Yoga is a holistic system for health and well-being that lays emphasis on the proper intake of air, right consumption of water, and a balanced diet in addition to the practice of the very best few postures of asana, praanaayama, bandha, mudra, and internal cleansing. The choice of this narrow range of techniques is deliberate, and is designed to effectively serve the time-poor of the twenty-first century. Kaya Yoga does not advocate the mastery of the entire array of yoga and praanaayama te...

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...

There Will be Hindu rebellion in rest of India
Hinduism and many of the occult activities that come out of the Orient are inspired by demons and demon worship...Theres this concept that all religions are the same and all are good. That is not true.

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...

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...

Amarnath and the Naked English Media
Conclusions that do not conform to the litmus test of objective logic can at best be termed as bigoted or classified under one of its sub categories: communal, racist or sexist. The stubborn attitude of the Kashmiri Muslims vis-à-vis the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board land transfer controversy and the obsequious kowtowing by the Indian news media in support of this naked exhibition of communal fervor is a classic example of prejudice and warped journalism. Further when one tallies the land involved ...
