Hindus, Hinduism, Hindusthan
Some 1400 years ago, this land India never knew what Religion was. All it knew was GOD. India then was all Gold and all GOD. There was no full stop on any belief. A worshipper of Lord Shiva was also a devotee of Lord Krishna and vice versa. The countless deities didnt ask their followers to fight to attain any superiority. This land east of Hindukush was sometimes called as Hindusthan by those living west of Hindukush. And the majority population of this land is still called as Hindus.The same l...

Sea level rise: Inundation of coastal India
Global warming is making sea level rise. Sea level, however, will not rise appreciably overnight, not in months, not even in years. The rise will assume dangerous proportions only over a substantial length of time, perhaps over decades. The assertions are not designed to make you complacent my readers, but you need not panic either. The sensationalist movies and documentaries that you have been watching show the sea invading deep into eastern India, inundating the capital of West Bengal Kolkata,...

Being Anti-Muslim
Because, for past few months, I have been inditing columns critical of Islam with purports from Holy Koran and Hadith, I am being branded as anti-Muslim. You [hate] Islam many have already declared. But hate is such a strong word. Its opposite to love and thus, when you hate you just end up perverting. I have time and again advocated that Seed of hatred begets nothing but destruction. I have never abused Islam nor have I, eer, used derogatory words against Muslims. How can I speak fetid against ...

Indian History a victory march of Islam
The first decade of the last century was indeed remarkable for re-discoveries of the lost manuscripts of several invaluable saMskR^ita works from the hidden chests of Keralas monasteries and private libraries.

Discovery of this work in ...

Obama"s tryst with Islam
If you think Obamas full name is Barack Obama then you are half right. His middle name, which is hardly flashed in the media, is Hussein. Thus his complete name is Barack Hussein Obama.Now the question that would certainly follow is: Does he, or not, have a Muslim background? When the very same question was asked to him sometimes back his answer was If I was a Muslim, I would let you know. and I believed in him. Obama is today a practicing Christian and also a member of the Trinity Church of Chr...

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate
As Muhammad became disillusioned from the strife between the Pagan Meccans around him, he began to feel more and more aloof from the society in which he had been brought up. Soon, he began to experience religious visions which slowly but surely burgeoned in to a world religion of Islam focused primarily around the Quran and Hadiths. After Muhammad conquered Mecca, Islam began to spread in earnest, most of the times through questionable and brutal methods such as military conquest, or through pea...

Justifying terrorists, Muslims always wrong
Muslims today are being looked upon with strange skepticism. And conditions are certainly getting worse for even those Muslims who are nowhere near the ideas of the fundamentalists. Without doubt, the situation is absolutely frustrating for Muslims. But how can we ever free the Muslims from the clutches of such suspicion? How do we enable them to lead a normal life, in India at least? Are Muslims and non-Muslims doing their share to restore this dignity? These are some of the fundamental questio...

Saadhvi Pragya and the Secular Media
Difference between Hindu Terrorism and Islamic Terrorism. Whenever a mail is sent by any Muslim Terrorist Organizations, the mail contents always contain texts of Quran and In the name of Allah. Yet our honorable media says it is plain Terrorism. Whenever retaliation is exercised by any Hindu Outfit, our truthful media terms it as Hindu Terror. Even though these outfits never quote or follow any Hindu scriptures. This is a clear indication that media is working against Hindus. Anything that can...

Greatest Moment In the American History
The people of America have given their final and overwhelming verdict in favour of Barack Obama to act as their President for the next four years. In my view this is a magnificent victory not only for Obama, not only for the people of America, but forces of democracy in all parts of the World.The great dream of Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) outlined initially in his historic speech to the people of Peoria in Illinois on 16 October 1854 and reiterated again in his Second Inaugural address, as Ameri...

Are you scared of Hindus, Brinda Karat?
Congratulations Mrs Brinda Karat. You are the first in history of mankind to have dubbed the entire Hindu community as Fundamentalist. . Not even the Pope or the Imam had the insight to think about it before. Its a pity that so far there has not been an accolade from the anti-Hindu, pseudo secular, quasi-intelligent ilk, that you represent. Perhaps our Prime Minister will soon render an apology on behalf of the Hindus and consider you for next years Bharat Ratna award.Surely you are ecstatic tha...

Brahmin from the Rome
In early 1982, Father Joseph Parekatil of the Catholic Church of Parasahi, Madhya Pradesh, destroyed the sacred murthi of the Goddess Visweshwari Siddheswari enshrined on the nearby Nawain Tekdi hill and erected a small wooden cross.

On February 20th, 1985, with the intent once again of trying to gain possession of the hill, Fa...

The invention of a Hindu terrorist
I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy...

SCR Conspiracy to divide India, Book Review
This timely book (by Rakesh Sinha, others: Bharatiya Vichar Manch, Karnavati) explores the controversial high level Sachar Committee report, part of the array of unwarranted sops to Muslim votebanks by Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singhs UPA government.

It was a seven member committee headed by Justice Rajindar Sachar. Popularly the committee is known a...

Hindu Terror? We need Right Perspective
The arrest of a Sadhvi and a few others belonging to a Hindu radical group in the Malegaon and Modasa bomb blasts case adds an ostensibly unexpected and sensational twist to Indias war on terror but is a corollary that was inevitable. The partisan polemics melodramatised by pre-election histrionics plus the religious parochialism replete with nuanced innuendoes that greeted this news report have only made an unenviable situation (vis-à-vis the anti-terror strategy) even murkier relegating common...
