Angered by the killings, the Hindus retaliated.About a month later, on September 29, 2008, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh addressed the EU-India summit i...

Gandhism, Hinduism and 3 monkeys
Gandhis and Geeta are making the headlines these days. The questions being asked are, did any of the young Gandhis read Geeta. The association of Geeta to Gandhis is very old. Mahatma Gandhi always used to say that he carried a copy of Geeta with him. The question comes in mind is whether the type of non violence Gandhi mastered coming from Geeta? Bagwat Geeta starts with the scene of battle ground. The words of Geeta were meant to encourage Arjun to lift his Gandeev (bow) and fight the war with...

Tablianization of Mangalore?
Tablianization of Mangalore is how they began describing a truly petty issue. The Congressmen and Communists wasted no time to hurl their criticism and abuses on the state government. It was a mad-mad run for settling political scores and it was chaos all around.Amidst all, none, neither the media nor the politicos were interested in resolving the dispute. And a meagre incident was blown completely out of proportion. Who was at fault? If the media is to be believed it ought to be Sri Ram Sena me...

Afghanistan, USA and Pakistan
The governance of Pakistan for past sixty-one years was mostly by autocratic rulers, elected or not and by the dictators with a feudalist warlord mentality. Over last several decades Pakistani ruling elites and the army Generals have developed an acute dependency on diplomatic oil or rent collections from America and Arab states around the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. Pakistan has exploited American policy for regional hegemony to control energy supplies to satisfy insatiable demand for fossil fuel...

No Recession-Free Economy In World
The American economy is the crucial issue of the day; it is the talk of the nation. Day in and day out Obama used spacious language filled with caveats that warned of the nearing doom reminiscent of the Great Depression. Sure that language was purported to get the stimulus bill passed. But the analogy used was far fetched. If some one tags it as topsy- turvy economy I would go along. But to tag it as the harbinger of human suffering is beyond ones imagination. Such caveats fall within the realm ...

Secularism: Will Hindus Wake up Now?
The Indian Government, starting from secularism has steadily gone towards Minority appeasement. Finally, it appears to have settled in an anti-Hindu drive. The future of 85% of the population of India (Hindus) is bleak unless the present Government is replaced by a truly secular government. Will the majority wake up now at least?...

Mumbia Attack: A Distant Memory?
Will this be another barely legible footnote in the annals of terror in India or will this be a defining moment in our battle against this evil scourge? That is the million dollar question. Close to 3 months have elapsed since the Mumbai terror attack. The statutory period of mourning is over, our mental turmoil has ebbed and the interlude to observe formalities has passed. It is time to make a pragmatic internal assessment of that debacle devoid of distracting emotions, ask uncomfortable but pe...

Lahore Crisis
There are some elite defenders of Taliban occupation of Pakistan. These elites should understand what is in contention is proliferation of the 13th century fundamentalist Islam that is perceived as a threat to international peace. Yes, Saudis and other Arab states practice and proliferate it through the spread of madrassah brand education, but they do not bite the hands - international customers - that come to their pump stations for crude oil. I disagree with the contention that if America and ...

Nuclear Power, Solar Cookers and Alte..
In ten years global population is expected to increase by one billion people. If each of these persons should require power equivalent to a 50 watt bulb then the additional power required would be 50,000 MWs, which equals to investment in establishing new 100 X 500 MW power plants.If used properly as we do with fire, nuclear power is a source of clean energy as long as nuclear waste is processed for recycling. I am for nuclear power as we have only few choices to serve the energy needs of global...

For the love of kith and kin
It is hard to determine the extent to which parents today can go towards promoting their kids, to make them famous. This is truer in case of the parents in the urban areas. Having hailed from modest background with little or no scope to harness their skills and develop their talents with their financial prowess they want to ensure that the opportunities are made available to their children. There is nothing wrong with this mentality. Its indeed commendable to ensure that you make provision for y...

Chaddi Cheerleaders Of India
Mangalore has recently gained international notoriety- as the battleground of great Indian culture war according to the esteemed New York Times. This must be the culture clash between the primitive Hindu India and the liberated pub drinking iconic Westernised India. Krishnas galantry in saving Draupadi has been razed to the ground by Muthaliks men who forcefully stopped the modern maidens from their right to drink and dance in Amnesia. This news was followed by that of alleged kidnapping of an M...

Mumbai meet: New Hindu Renaissance
Dr Swamy sums this up as: We Hindus are under siege today; and we do not know it !! That is, what is truly alarming is that Hindu society could be dissembled today without much protest since we have been lulled into or lost the capacity to think and act collectively as Hindus. Hindus of India and the World unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains! We have to wage a heroic cultural and intellectual war against lethal International forces that have come together today to destroy Sanatana Dhar...
