THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON.

Everyone one of us knows and believes that the vast majority of Muslims is moderate, tolerant and wishes to forge ahead in life. Yet, it is like the other side of the moon; everyone knows it is there but no one has seen it. From poets to the denizens of the forests, all have been mesmerized by its glowing face as the moon has no means to show its other face. Of course, the majority of Muslims wish to get ahead with life but their silence is taken as their acquiescence because they are an otherwise assertive community that dares to be openly different in appearance and in many daily overt practices from the vast majority all around them. But since the British times and possibly even earlier during Muslim rule, the elite Muslims in India have been enjoying a large amount of patronage from the rulers. Whilst, the British did it deliberately as a policy of divide and rule by keeping its support with the Muslims, during the earlier Muslim rule the community took it for granted that they belonged to the ruling class. That is how the community came to be accepted as a special class that required deft handling in comparison to the vast majority of Hindus in whom it was dinned into their psyche that they must make all the sacrifices like the elder brother of the Hindu family does for his belligerent younger siblings and put up with their tantrums. This pernicious practice continued to be passed down from generation to generation of Hindus who were more concerned about their own caste equations than the non-caste aliens who ruled them. Today, it is in their DNA.

It is an accepted fact that a spoilt brat constantly needs mollycoddling as it is used to being spoilt silly by its parents. Being a malcontent and maladjusted the pampered child refuses to integrate with others wherever it is treated at par with others without any special favours to which it is accustomed. It either sulks alone or tries to bully others to get what it wants. That is why the Delhi and U.P. Muslims were more concerned with “innocents” being harassed in Jamianagar than the death of an exceptionally brave police officer who was trying to bring a clutch of hardened Islamic terrorists to book for randomly murdering innocents through bomb blasts in Delhi and elsewhere.

Contrary to popular belief, most terrorists today are well educated and some even come from affluent backgrounds, so the root cause theory of poverty being the driving force behind terrorism does not hold. Despite strong denials of demonizing the entire Indian Muslim community for being sympathetic to the terrorists’ cause, Centrist and Left politicians inevitably take a soft stand when it comes to appropriately dealing with Islamic militants both before and after every act of violence indulged in by them as if it will rub the entire community the wrong way. As a result, the terrorist elements get away easily being let off for vote bank considerations of politicians to whom the nation comes later.

Hindu society is under siege from several sides today due to the narrow minded survival instincts of Indian politicians. Another grave man made problem that India faces is the carte blanc given to those who with missionary zeal wish to reduce the Hindu population through conversion to alien faiths that are incompatible to the Indian way of life that only Indic faiths can offer. Swami Vivekananda had said that a Hindu converted is not only a Hindu less but an enemy more. Mahatma Gandhi also expressed similar views against conversion. Those so-called liberals and leftists who put great stress on multiculturalism and pluralism contradict themselves when it comes to taking the logical step against conversions that is anathema to these very concepts they loudly espouse from every known forum.

The current aggressive Hindu is like an antigen that an infected body produces in order to save itself from a disease. Simply put, if there is no viral attack on the body no antigen or antibody will be produced. And yet, it has taken a long time in coming after hundreds of riots, the Partition of the country and the naked non-resisted ethnic cleansing of Pandits from the Kashmir Valley as well. Many believe that fear is the key that a certain group wields blatantly which results in affected apologists springing up in its defense for self-preservation. The aggressive Hindu is merely replicating this time tested formula of success from its adversary. But it runs foul of general biased opinion of Left-liberals as because for centuries since the Hindu community has endured every assault and privation stoically it dare not change the pattern now, assert itself and make its disagreement known. After all, the pluralists aver, even in nature the roles of predator and the hunted are inexorably inviolable. Those Hindu bodies that openly defy this inverted logic for self-survival are equated with Islamic terrorists who are the perpetrators of destruction of the Hindu ethos itself.

The Christian Church is at the forefront of the conversion business in India as their adherents are diminishing in the West with good reasons. The head of the Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury had blasted Tony Blair for attending Sunday mass in a Roman Catholic Church with his wife who is a Catholic. The Church today is fragmented into at least 600 denominations and still counting. Let it keep busy converting each of its denominations within each other but just let them leave us Indians alone. The Christians who were present at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 after hearing Swami Vivekananda had collectively stated that the depth of Hinduism was so vast that the Hindu required no other religion and Christian missionaries labouring away at evangelical activities in India were wasting their time.

Finally, if only a predisposed media and vote-bank seeking politicians stay out of it, we Indians will never want to fight with each other as we will have to live side by side and grow together and not at the cost of each other. But will they leave us alone?

WHEN YOU ARE IN THE PAY OF ENEMIES OR INFLUENCED BY THOSE WHO ARE……..

There is no point in saying that L.K. Advani is a Pakistani as he was born in Karachi. Advani was born in India as Pakistan was born only in 1947 just as Jinnah, whose father was a Hindu convert to the Ismaili sect of Islam, was born in Gujarat.

When Jinnah asked for Pakistan he also wanted 100 percent population exchange as otherwise the Partition was meaningless as it was based on the view that Hindus and Muslims being poles apart in their world view could not stay together for which he demanded a separate Muslim nation. Even B.R. Ambedkar insisted upon population exchange. History bears out the fact that it was mainly the "British by education, Muslim by culture and accidentally a Hindu by birth" Nehru who was feeling insecure in the company of Hindu Congressmen like G.B. Pant, Rajendra Prasad, Tandon, Sardar Patel and many others that he wanted the Muslims to stay back so that he could use them as a shield to outflank them in the truly Indian dominated Congress even after he had conceded Pakistan, which some say Gandhi was against.

The same reason why Kashmir valley saw ethnic cleansing of Hindus so that it became a Muslim parcel of India that wanted to secede to Pakistan the illusory El Dorado for the subcontinent’s misguided Muslims. If Hindu and Sikh refugees from Pakistan were allowed to settle in Kashmir it could have been another Jammu where there is no communalism just like in the Punjab where near total population exchange took place in 1947. But Nehru and later his progeny would have none of it in the name of his false doctrine of Kashmiriyat which in reality today is as rabid as the Taliban. Imagine Kashmiriyat without Hindus in Kashmir.

Hinduism needs to survive because it alone being accommodative and inclusive can show the right path to the rest of the world for lasting peace. Look at Pakistan today. It is singing the tune that says “a blast a day will keep peace at bay”, whether it is in its own territory or elsewhere.

Today, the Frankenstein of religious Jihad Pakistan had created against India is swallowing it up very fast. Today, its best friend the US is attacking it in its own soil for eradicating this same world destructing virus. Thus only a Hindu India can save Muslims provided our home-made secularists allow it. And don’t call the Muslims in India as the minority community as in reality they are the effective majority when their numbers combine with our domestic secularists who are more concerned about Muslim interests than the Muslims themselves. What a 1000 years of successive alien reigns of Muslim and Christian British rules could not achieved in turning India non-Hindu may yet be accomplished by our own secularists in less than 100 !

NO ONE WILL CRY FOR YOU HAIDAR HUSSAIN.

Why should Haidar Hussain, editor of Asomiya Pratidin, feel bad at the refusal of his US Visa and this government's sham helplessness in the matter? I am sure, Narendra Modi is a bigger VIP whose Visa has been abrogated by the US despite a great demand for him in the US from the huge expatriate Indian community there. The present US government is a Right Wing, pro-Christian, conservative one and this constituency will always discriminate against anyone who they feel will not encourage the Christian cause the world over.

Mr. Manmohan Singh’s threats to dismiss the Karnataka and Orissa governments, for spontaneous protests against blatant conversions by the Church prior to his departure for the US and France(both ruled by the Christian Right) is a another pointer. It is no different than the Islamic Darul-Islam or the world Commonwealth of Islam. One must realise that our country is being ruled by a spineless party of sycophants whose abiding political ideology has traditionally been APPEASEMENT of so-called religious minorities, contradicting their self-declared policy that India is multi-cultural, pluralistic and secular where every citizen is equal in the eyes of the State.

When vociferous coreligionists of Mr.Haidar Hussain have been enjoying special concessions from a government, it is but natural that this spineless government will cave in to any pressure from any quarter. In the present political scenario of coalitions and a badly fragmented polity where even a few votes can determine the fate of a politician, no politician is willing to take any risks at showing any determined direction for the country excepting that he/she should win the election and be up for grabs to the highest bidder to be a part of the ruling team for personal gain.

Traditional foes like CPM-Congress and now the Congress-SP tie ups and the likes of Lalu, Mulayam, Ramvilas Paswan-all part of this government rooting for the dangerous SIMI makes this amply clear as they have not been show-caused as yet. This is despite an otherwise pseudo-secular UP CM Mayavati accusing ex-CM of UP Mulayam Singh Yadav of having given birth to the notorious Indian Mujahideen in the Azamgarh district of UP which is a front organisation of the SIMI and Pakistan based Lashkar-e- Toiba.

INDIA NEEDS A FOCUSED LEADER LIKE THIS!

Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society. Learn the language!'

'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves, Indian citizens will find the backbone to start speaking and voicing the same truths.

THE TWO ARE AS DIFFERENT AS OIL AND WATER!

You can't equate Islamic terrorists or Jihadis with VHP, Bajrang Dal or RSS. The former are anti-Indian forces out to subvert the nation whereas the latter are nationalist bodies which were born as a REACTION to the appeasement policy of successive Indian governments for vote bank considerations.

The Jihadis carry out attacks secretively like the cowards that they are, killing innocents with whom they have no links, grudge or cause. But the Jihadis and their sympathisers all operate surreptitiously and owe allegiance to our enemy countries like Pakistan. Those who are demanding that the Hindu bodies be treated at par with Jihadis are no different than those Indian British bootlickers and the then British government who were actively against the heroes of our Independence movement like Netaji Subhas Bose, Bhagat Singh and Chanrashekhar Azad etc. who were at times forced to adopt violent means to chase out the British when passive resistance of Mahatma Gandhi failed.

Gandhi, Nehru and like minded others could not prevent the Partition of India. It will be a sacrilege to equate those who are agitating for saving the country and its unique culture with those whose sole mission is to destroy them. The day the Indian government turns patriotic, rises above petty temporary gains through vote-bank appeasement strategies and starts to tackle the Jihadi anti-national elements and their sympathizers with an iron hand with a sustained POLITICAL WILL, the pro-Hindu bodies will engage in social reforms activities for the betterment of Indian society.

What an irony that representatives of the 85 percent of the country's population have to fight for saving its traditional ethos with its own government who are hellbent at siding with those alien forces who are out to wipe it out forever! It will be a sacrilege to equate those who are agitating for saving the country and its unique culture with those whose sole mission is to destroy them. The day the Indian government turns patriotic, rises above petty temporary gains through vote-bank appeasement stratagems and starts to tackle the Jihadi anti-national elements and their sympathizers with an iron hand with a sustained POLITICAL WILL, the aggressive pro-Hindu bodies will be compelled to engage in social reforms activities for the betterment of Indian society.

THE ROOT CAUSE THEORY IS PASSÉ IN THIS SPIRAL OF VIOLENCE.

Earlier it used to be the false root cause theory and justification for the violence, the cause being poverty and illiteracy. But when it was glaringly becoming clear that highly educated and even wealthy guys were involved in these acts of violence, the Babri Masjid and Gujarat riots have become the liet motif of the apologists to shield these malcontents who are actually violence junkies like drug addicts who cannot live without their daily dose. These loonies are involved in death and mayhem under their call of “Lets kill for God”.

There are no Babri demolition or Gujarat riots in other parts of the world and yet these freaks are killing innocents there which includes Muslim countries too. Of course, the vast majority of Muslims wish to get along with their lives and march in tune with the times. But if anyone of them comes forward to reveal the shady activities of their coreligionists, there will be serious repercussions. Islam being a monolithic faith it is easy for the mullahs, Muftis, Kazis, Imams, Hafiz etc. to threaten the laity with dire consequences like not burying their dead, solemnizing their daughter’s marriage, or son’s circumcision as well as exhorting the community to boycott the so-called transgressors. See the torture meted out to the progressive elements like Asghar Ali Engineer of the tiny Dawoodi Bohra community for defying the Syedna’s diktats.

But perceptible changes are taking place like religious heads now openly declaring that there is no place for killing of innocents in Islam in the name of Jihad. This movement would have gathered a greater momentum only if political parties did not derail the campaign in order to keep the community ghettoized for vote bank considerations. If the Muslim vote also became fragmented in their voting patterns like the Hindus it would increase the nightmares of all politicians.

In these times of coalition governments comprising of multiple disparate elements in the fray as no single Party is in a position to form a government on its own anymore, even a small margin of vote becomes very crucial for victory of a candidate who can then dictate his price for lending his support. No wonder, the sops being granted and utterances being made by the government and other political parties are getting weirder by the hour.

LOOK AT THE LARGER PERSPECTIVE.

The concept of Jihad is taken from Christianity. Just go to the Book of Joshua in the Bible and read about the Fall of Jericho. Please refer original King James's version as the present avatar of the Bible has been badly bowdlerized beyond recognition. Despite mouthing homilies like God is one and all roads lead to the same destination, the conversion business is thriving. After all Gods are equal but some Gods are more equal than others!

The Christian God is a jealous God(Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:24)whilst the Prophet(PBUH) of Arabia asserted that there is no God but Allah. We hear it over loudspeakers five times a day.

Being new religions as compared to Hinduism or Judaism, both these faiths HAD TO convert others to their faith or they could not increase in numbers and unless you have sizable numbers you don't have political power and survive as a community. That’s why we are all stymied by vote-bank politics in India. Look at the Parsees and Zoroastrianism-almost at vanishing point. The Greek religion, pre-Islamic Egypt, all gone. Similarly, if Hindus vanish so will Hinduism.

The only Hindu Rashtra Nepal has ceased to exist having fallen prey to another predatory ism-Marxism. And if the traditionally meek Hindus refuse to vanish they are called hostile against their aggressors even though conversion is anathema to pluralism as the status quo is disturbed even as Hindus dwindle in numbers while others grow at their cost. This way one day we will end up like Muslim majority Kashmir or Pakistan earlier where secularism and pluralism, by which the minorities are now swearing by, are the first casualties. Minority aggression surfaces due to State support against protesting Hindus who unfortunately vote as a disparate group and the myopic "secular" politician fully exploits it.

QUALIFICATION ZERO MAKES HIM A HERO!

He almost got there to become the President of India solely because his worth is zero on the capability front. As Home Minister he is a washout, he is today a part of the problem and not the solution. Just sack him and at least 50 percent of the problems will be solved. The balance 50 percent can be taken care of if this government shows any POLITICAL WILL to check terrorism by gathering intelligence through penetrating the terror cells that are spread all across the country without bothering about the Congress Party's self created myth of "minorities will get angry" if some of them are put under surveillance. Ordinary Muslims are also dying in these blasts and they are as vulnerable and disturbed about terrorism that is community neutral in their intentions. In the said meeting if convened, Lalu, Mulayam Yadav, Ram Vilas Paswan should be show caused for their open espousal of lifting of the ban on SIMI.

You better NOT have any self-respect in this Party of boot-lickers, Shri Patil.Your only qualification for a high post with this Party is that you are completely worthless and a willing doormat like so many before you so that the leadership does not feel threatened by your presence. The more useless you are the higher the position you attain in this political dispensation. Patil Saab, don't worry. You are in the right Party and you have the right temperament to be invaluable to the Party that assesses your complete worthlessness to be of the highest value for it. Keep changing your clothes thrice a day and utter the same blah-blahs after each terrorist attack and you will survive for showing concern for the terrorists and utter disdain for the victims, even though you cannot win an election even where your imaginary vote-bank is there in sizable numbers.

With each blast, the numbers in your illusory vote-bank are also shrinking as the blasts are religion neutral and kills anyone within striking distance, unlike people like you who are protected under Z category security so that you may "keep cool" after every blast. Someone had rightly said that "a man is known by his dress and address" and in this respect you have no parallel.

The people have already judged you long ago and continue to helplessly put up with you. But how does it make any difference to you or your sycophant loving high-command? You will continue to be foisted on us through the Rajya Sabha. In India what is the mechanism for the people to make a politician step down even if they make anti-national speeches like your worthy colleagues Lalu,Ramvilas,Mulayam, who continue to maintain that SIMI must not be banned and that we don’t need any special laws to curb terrorism?

RAJ THAKRE IS NOT A POLITICIAN BUT A GOONDA

One must never forget that Amitabh Bacchan is India's most politically correct person! He never speaks his mind or what is in his heart-ever! He is very careful in his utterances and opens his mouth only to say things that will enhance his image and income. But why blame him alone? The Maharashtra government and the now spineless BJP of all political parties has also criticised his wife's conduct. And the weak BJP is essentially a cow belt party.

Yet what did Jaya Bacchhan say that is supposed to be against Maharashtra? Tomorrow this anti-social element called Raj Thakre will demand that every woman in Mumbai should wear her sari in the Maharashtrian style or else she will be disrobed in public or it could be that from tomorrow “all residents in Mumbai must speak in Marathi” will be his next demand after the “only Marathi”roadside hoardings and shop signs agitation.

The Congress, NCP combine that rules in Maharashtra should be taught a lesson in other parts of the country just as the BJP for singing the same tune as this goon Raj Thakre. The fact is that like Calcutta the local populace of Mumbai are mainly workers and labourers whereas the majority of the wealth creators are all from outside these States. This rascal Raj Thakre knows that none of these wealth creators will ever leave Maharashtra due to their bread and butter sources being there. So a thug like him will continue to extract money from them whilst by raising the hype of Maratha pride he can fool the Marathis into voting for him. Like his Uncle's now discarded Hindutva, fooling the Hindus in the past, Raj too is out to fool the Marathi.

If this family of goons were indeed true Maharashtrians, why do they spell their names like an Englishman-Thackeray and not the Marathi- Thakre? Who are these goons fooling? The Maharashtrians should come forward and challenge them and make them irrelevant both socially and politically.

SECULAR DOUBLESPEAK? NO? THEN ANSWER THIS SIMPLE QUIZ.

All of you who pride themselves by calling yourselves as secular please answer these simple questions.

1. There are nearly 60 Muslim countries and yet they behave as if they are victims of general apathy of the rest of the world?
2. Show one Muslim country which provides Haj subsidy.
3. Show one Muslim country where Hindus are extended the special rights that Muslims are accorded in India?
4. Show one country where the 85% majority craves for the indulgence of the 15% minority.
5. Show one Muslim country, which has a Non-Muslim as its President or Prime Minister.
6. Show one Mullah or Maulvi who has declared a 'fatwa' against terrorists.
7. Hindu-majority Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala, Pondicherry , etc. have in the past elected Muslims as CM's, Can you ever imagine a Hindu becoming the CM of Muslim - majority J&K?
8. Today Hindus are 85%. If Hindus are intolerant, how come Masjids and madrassahs are thriving?
9. How come Muslims, a minority group are allowed to offer Namaz on the important roads and causing traffic snarls inconveniencing the general population who have nothing to do with Islam?
10. How come Muslims who are a minority proclaim five times a day from dawn to dusk through loud speakers that there is no God except Allah which is an insult to all the others of different faiths who have to put up with this with a murmur?
11. When Hindus gave to Muslims 30% of Bharat for a song, why should Hindus now beg for the return of their traditional sacred places at Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi? Why indeed Kashmir is still treated like as if it is not an inalienable part of India? Is it just because the Valley is Muslim majority?
12. Why Temple funds collected by Indian government are spent for the welfare of Muslims and Christians, when they are free to spend their own religious money in any way they like without any accountability?
13. When uniform is made compulsory for school children, why there is no Uniform Civil Code for citizens as enshrined in the Indian Constitution?
14. In what way, J&K is different from Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu or Uttar Pradesh, to have the separatist Article 370?
15. Why Mohandas K Gandhi objected to the decision of the cabinet and insisted that Somnath Temple should be reconstructed out of public funds, not government funds when in January 1948 he pressurized Nehru and Patel to carry on renovation of the mosques of Delhi at government expense?
16. Why Gandhi inspired the Khilafat Movement in India (nothing to do with our freedom movement) in a matter that was decided in Turkey and what did we get in return, excepting laying the foundation stone of Partition?
17. If Muslims and Christians are minorities in Maharashtra, UP, Bihar etc., are Hindus not minorities in J&K, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya etc? Why are Hindus denied minority rights in these states?
18. Do you admit that Hindus do have problems that need to be recognized? Or do you think that many of those who call themselves Hindus are themselves are at the root of the problem?
19. Why the post-Godhra burning of Hindus blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 5,00,000 Hindus from Kashmir by Muslims of the Valley?
20. In 1947, when India was Partitioned on Muslim insistence, the Hindu population in Pakistan was about 24%. Today it is not even 1%. In 1947, the Hindu population in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was 30%. Today it is about 7%. What happened to the missing Hindus? Are Hindus entitled to have human rights?
21. In contrast, in India, Muslim population has gone up from 10.4% in 1951 to about 14% today; whereas Hindu population has come down from 87.2% in 1951 to 85% in 1991. Do you still think that Hindus are fundamentalists under whom Muslims live under fear and need all the protection from the government as if they are an endangered species when the Parsies of India don’t ask nor get the same mollycoddling treatment?
22. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular, BJP is communal and Muslim League is Secular, Dr.Praveen Bhai Togadia is ANTI-NATIONAL and Imam Abdullah Bhukari is secular, Vande Mataram is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Hinduism is communal and Islam is secular, Hindutva is communal and Jihadism is secular, Bharat is communal and Pakistan is secular?
23. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, why Hindus cannot teach Gita or Ramayan in their schools?
24. Abdul Rehman Antuley was made a trustee of the famous Siddhi Vinayak Temple of Hindus in Prabhadevi, Mumbai. Can a Hindu - say the pro-SIMI Mulayam or Laloo Yadav, both asymmetrical secularists and grossly biased in favour of Muslims - ever become a trustee of a Masjid or Madrasa?
25. Dr. Praveenbhai Togadia (an Oncologist) has been arrested many times on flimsy grounds. Has the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi, Ahmed Bhukari been arrested even after making seditious statements publicly, claiming to be an ISI agent, advocating further Partition of India and having several unexecuted arrest warrants like his father?
26. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy by Hindus, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai and Kailash Mansarovar are taxed?
27. A Muslim President, a Hindu Prime Minister and a Christian Defence Minister run the affairs of the Indian nation with a unity of purpose as it is still a Hindu majority country. Can this happen anywhere, except in a HINDU NATION that is BHARAT?
28. Is it because the paranoid Muslims are more divided amongst themselves that they need the blind glue of religion to bind them together? That Hindus don’t need any glue as they are more attached towards all human beings as they value humanity more than religion?
29. Do we have to continually give in to Muslim blackmail due to their expressed propensity for violence every time they are refused anything they demand like a spoilt child, spoilt silly by Indian politicians?
30. Do you think all this is fair and equitable and practiced anywhere else in the entire world and if not why not and who is/are responsible for this?

ON CONVERSIONS TO “CHURCHIANITY”.

All Christians do not convert others. In India this has become a big money making racket with some greedy NGOs sucking money out of the wealthy but guilt ridden Christians abroad by showing them dismal pictures of poor people living in dire straits in India. As this money is in dollars it works out to huge sums that not only keeps these Indian parasites in luxury but they also keep the politicians and bureaucracy happy through generous cuts, from the loot apart from helping the anti-national politicians making another vote bank out of those who are against joining the mainstream.

In India it is a privilege to be labeled as a minority, so much so that even many Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists today aggressively demand this status despite enjoying the reservations policy which to begin with was introduced for the uplift of so-called “untouchables” in Hindu society! Due to this same paying separatist tendency for being counted out of Hindu society, Swami Vivekananda had said that when we convert a Hindu to another religion we not only have a Hindu less but have an enemy more.

It is known that Christ himself had spent many years in Ladakh region of India learning from great masters of the East till he went back to Galilee/Jerusalem to preach his gospel when he was 30 years old. There is a big gap in Jesus’ life before this till he reappears at this period. Christ was such a benign and humble person yet his many Churches today are carrying out atrocities in his name. The fault lies with the Church and not with Christ or Christianity.

Just see what immoral priests are up to all over today indulging in orgies, sexual peccadilloes, pedophilia, stealing the church’s wealth etc., "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it for religion" said Blaise Pascal(French Philosopher).George Bernard Shaw had said that when we convert a barber to Christianity we don't Christianize the barber but barbarize Christianity. Bill Clinton and Gandhiji were also vehemently against conversions. Anyone can quickly check these out on the Internet or other sources after obtaining the links to their original texts.

How can the “conversionaries”, as opposed to missionaries of a religion promise Paradise to those whom they are converting to an alien faith when they themselves need to be saved from their own evil acts? If you do not believe in your religion, how can you expect others to do so? You can fool some people for sometime but not all or many as you may have wished. This itself proves that the conversion business is a crass money making racket and nothing else and it needs to exposed and stopped forthwith.

WHY IS GANESH OR ANY OTHER HINDU GOD IMMERSED AFTER PUJA?

Here is one explanation. There is a story behind the immersion of Ganesha. It is said that Mata Parvati wanted to go her maike (parents’ house). Lord Shiva allowed her to visit her parents. Just after one day after allowing Mata Parvati to visit her home, Lord Shiva sent Ganesha to bring her back to Kailash. On the day before the Ganesh Chaturthi, Mata Parvati comes to her parent's home to visit Her parents. The immersion of Ganesha is the sending back of Mother Parvati and Lord Ganesha to Kailash (their original home where Lord Shiva, Ganesh's father stays) as there is a route from Patala (bottom of the sea) to Kailash which denotes that the world is round.

One will have to understand that Hinduism is full of symbolism which only depicts a deeper meaning where every thing should not be taken literally as it is not a revealed religion like Islam. The ultimate Hindu belief lies in the Brahman, nirgun and nirakar, or something that is formless and invisible which is similar to the concept of Allah whose image or being cannot even be imagined.

But as Hinduism is very ancient and most people could not grasp the concept of a formless God, such images were necessary to make it easier for them to concentrate on a particular form of god. That is why Ganesh murtees (statues) or Durga Pratimas (statues) made of earth are immersed in rivers or seas after puja (worship) as they are symbols which like all creation must one day go back to where they all came from.

But the Pratimas made of stone or wood etc., and regularly worshiped in temples are not immersed as they are symbols of the permanent nature of the gods who represent various facets of the Supreme or Brahman (not to be confused with the god Brahma-the creator). In fact, as Hindus have 330 million gods and goddesses to take care of each and every need of theirs exclusively by a single god, they think that they are that many times luckier than those having only one god which makes them rather complacent about their religion.
