1947: Dark age descended on India I have just finished reading masterpiece of a book titled INDIA A Cultural Decline or Revival? by Bharat Gupt. The so-called educated people in India-usually pseudo-secular Indians with Western Education-take it for granted that Independence from the British Rule also ushered an era of cultural and social freedom in India. Bharat Gupt in this beautifully conceived and written book has carefully examined as to whether this is true or whether a dark age of cultural decline and barbarism descended...	V Sundar..

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...	Chanchal	Add Comment
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. Among those delightful finds was this poetic yet historic chronicle of early vijayanagara period called madhurA-vijaya or kampArAya-charitam penned none other than by ga~NgAdevI the spouse of prince kampanarAya the son of bukkarAya, the co-founder of that empire. Discovery of this work in ...	S Tiwari	Add Comment
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...	U Prabhu	Alaxander Noha: Obama not only a Muslim but also a christen. He is Jewish. Same like Ossama bin Ladan"s mother is Jewish. May be Ladan living comfortable protected by Mozad. American are foolish. 4500 Jewish were absent when 11/September happened. Why? [1 comments]
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...	Adity	Add Comment
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...	U Prabhu	S C Mehta: . . Through out world, Muslims are not at peace. In India, Muslims have occupied the highest seats like President / vice President/ Chief Justice of India. Inspite of world class, Super rights and special privileges being enjoyed by any ....

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...	Chanchal	g kapuria: SG..

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. Later, the father erected a 31 - foot high concrete cross illegally on the hill on February 18th, 1983. Enraged villagers destroyed the cross a month later on March 17th. On February 20th, 1985, with the intent once again of trying to gain possession of the hill, Fa...	Nithin S	S C Mehta: Christain Church and their paid staff are visible every where.

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...

Sri Aurobindo for the 21st Century In March 2008, Oprah Winfrey, the queen of American TV talk shows, interviewed spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle over a ten week period.

Tolle is the author of two popular books: The Power of Now (1997), and A New Earth: Awakening to Your Lifes Purpose (2005). Tolle states that a profound transformation is taking place in the collective consciousness of the planet earth and beyond.Tolle correctly summa...	Dr Goel	sanju: it was worse [4 comments]
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. In 2005, the Government of India constituted a committee to report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslim community in India. It was a seven member committee headed by Justice Rajindar Sachar. Popularly the committee is known a...	S Basu	Add Comment
