WHAT ABOUT DUPLICITY OF TV CHANNELS?

The Indian media which has become a law unto themselves could sooner demand that the fanatical Shahi Imams Syed Abdullah Bukhari be made the President of India and his son Ahmed be made the next Prime Minister. So what if they have over a dozen each of non-bailable offenses for sedition and contempt of court cases against each of them which no government dared to serve on them so far. After all, they have a much cleaner image than multiple murderers like Union Minister Taslimuddin of the RJD or Shahabuddin of RJD who is a permanent resident of Siwan jail and mentor of Lalu Yadav who wants to give him a ticket for this Lok Sabha election. Of course, there are many more such worthy candidates to choose from starting from Kerala (Madani), Tamil Nadu, Kashmir (Sajjad Lone), UP and Bihar with well established track records. Difficult choice for these guys, if you know what I mean. But such news won't.

What will make it as news are only anti-BJP and anti-Hindu activities that make it to our TV channels these days. In a way it is good for both the BJP and the Hindus as it will ensure that they are kept alert, vibrant and improve every day whereas the others will be lulled into sleep of complacence and end up diseased and fall by the wayside. That is why despite thousands of years of its existence Hinduism is still alive and relevant even in the 21 st Century as it keeps pace with the current times effortlessly which others fail to do or go into oblivion due to their inbuilt rigidities especially if they are revealed religions. The inability to cope with the change in a modern and ever changing world is another drawback they face. In fact, the central message of the Gita is that "change is the only constant." The proof lies in Hinduism’s ability to discard centuries old redundant practices and adopt new ones through a constant churning through debate and inquiry without the fear of irrelevance that adversely affect those who are strictly code bound to adhere to unchanging rules fixed centuries ago and out of sync with today’s realities.

We must understand that the author of a piece of pure fiction is none but Abdul Nasser Madani of the People's Democratic Party of Kerala which many consider to be a terrorist organisation. It may have been typed by a sympathetic LDF activist as Madani may be English illiterate but make no mistake that Madani is the original author. If the Maliyali Hindus have not learnt any lessons for so long under alternating LDF and UDF regimes when will they ever do so? Are they waiting for another Mopla uprising to wake them up?

IN INDIA EVERYONE WANTS TO BE COUNTED AS A MINORITY.

Her actual name is MENAKA and NOT MANEKA as she was renamed by Indira Gandhi as she was allergic to her original name. Menaka is 100 % correct when she states that Sikhism was founded to defend Hindus from the wrath of Aurangzeb who beheaded his father Guru Gobind Singhji the 9th Guru in exchange to sparing the lives of Hindus of Kashmir. The Sikhs are also called Keshadri Hindus after they were commanded by 10th and last Guru, Guru Govind Singhji to adopt the five Ks of Sikhism for the first time in their history which they observe till today. It was started with each Hindu family of the Punjab nominating the first born male child to the Khalsa Panth or the path of the Pure with the title of Singh or Lion. They are also called the sword arm of Hinduism being a martial race which was forged in order to protect the otherwise mild Hindu.

The Parsi faith does not accept anyone from outside its fold just as Feroze Gandhi ceased to be one after he married Indira Gandhi a non-Parsi. Hence both Rajiv and Sanjay were not Parsis and by the same analogy neither is Varun, as he did not under go the initiation Navjote Ceremony that all Parsis have to compulsorily do in order to be included into the fold.

Moreover, any human being who calls himself a Hindu is one as there is no ritual to induct him/her into its fold with the exception of the Brahmans, called twice born or Dwija who have the sacred thread ceremony solely meant for its male members as an initiation ceremony.

In India all want to be labeled as a minority as it pays material dividends to avoid being counted within the Hindu fold. But the truth is that barring the alien faiths all Indic religions are offshoots of Hinduism and their adherents cannot therefore consider themselves something unique and distinct like those of Islam, Christianity or Zoroastrianism.

ALL EXCLUSIVIST DOCTRINES ARE SAME AS EACH OTHER

Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil a top Church official from India has described the CPI-M as a 'threat' to democracy and warned that India will suffer the same fate as China did under Mao Zedong in his book Straight From Heart. The influential Cardinal, known for his critical views even on the church establishment, says, 'The Marxist fundamentalism is a greater threat than the religious fundamentalism of the BJP. The Navy, the Army and the Air Force will come under their complete control. We can reasonably expect that what happened in China under Mao will happen in India under their rule.'

Though he is 100% correct about Marxists yet he is wrong about the Catholics and the Sangh Parivar. Any one who believes in converting others to his faith is NOT a believer in pluralism as it is fundamentally contradictory and against it. Thanks to Christianity both Roman and Greek cultures have vanished just as the indigenous cultures of the original peoples (Native Indians) of South and North America, aborigines of Australia and large tracts of tribal Africa etc.

The latest target as spelt out by the previous Pope John Paul II is Asia and India for the latest gathering of “Harvest of Souls” for Christianity. The Sangh Parivar believes that every religion is a path to the same God (Ekam Sat Vipra Vahuda Vadanti) as Hindus have historically shown undiluted tolerance to Jews, Parsis, Christians and Muslims for centuries but have recently become wary of certain conversion and infiltration prone groups who are showing definite signs of altering the faith based demographics of India by taking advantage of this tolerance with the direct connivance of vote seeking politicians who couldn't care less about the cultural future of India.

The paranoid Marxists are a different breed of anti-nationals who do not care about Indian culture as they claim to believe in the Communist International or a culture of the nowhere. Mao Zedong had destroyed the ancient culture of China and his legatees are now decimating the unique culture of Tibet, an independent country that an ever expansionist China had forcefully taken over. Hitler was a one man show as Nazism died with him. But Communism /Marxism have not died with Lenin, Stalin or Mao as the Indian Marxists still publicly swear by them and show all the characteristics of these Godless dictators.

FOOLING THE PEOPLE IS SO EASY THAT IT GOES ON INDEFINITELY

There is nothing new in the Kerala Church dabbling in politics as it is as old as the hills of Munnar. Priests have been regularly standing for elections with tickets from parties who call themselves "secular" by the single virtue of abusing Hindus alone. All of us know that Indian secularism is fully dependent on Hindus for its survival as there is nothing predatory about its tenets for increasing the number of believers. Even though Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of Hindu majority India only 60 years back, secularism became the first casualty the moment they became Muslim majority nations.

Kashmir Valley though in India was ethnically cleansed of all Pandits who are the original settlers before Aurangzeb decided to change things around. Today, due to the preponderance of those to whom secularism is anathema and despite being a part of India, secularism is a decisive casualty in the Kashmir Valley similar to Pakistan. How can there be a minority community in a secular country where all citizens are equal in the eyes of the law? We are all Indians. Only in a theocratic state can there be minorities deserving special considerations. Is this a back door admission of India being a Hindu rashtra (nation) by secularists to indulge in secular games?

A UN Charter states that only when a community consists of less than 10 % of the country’s population can it be termed minority. Yet we keep avoiding this internationally accepted doctrine to keep alive the spurious concept of sham secularism in India for vote bank consideration.

All our major concepts of governance are taken from the British including our antiquated laws. Even though England is not admitted to be a theocratic state, yet the King or Queen is the protector of the Church. When London based author Salman Rushdie was sought to be punished under English laws of blasphemy for his book "Satanic Verses" by his coreligionists, the British govt. stated that the blasphemy laws applied only to those who were denigrating Christianity not Islam. Salman instead was for years given state protection at great cost to the exchequer as he was a minority after Ayatollah Khomeini's death edict or fatwa.

Without retaining the flavour of the monarch being the protector of the leading faith as in Britain, we in India decided to graft the balance portion of the doctrine by inserting the word "secularism" into our Constitution by an amendment by Indira Gandhi to promote minorityism as a state policy thus raising the question whether India was "secular" before this amendment? Physical removal of the yoke of colonisation from a country is easier than its removal from the mind. Whilst Mahatma Gandhi and his associates could achieve the former in their lifetimes, sadly their Party failed to not only remove it from our minds but further ingrained in order to make sham secularism the Magna Carta of Indian politics.

YEH HAI RIGHT CHOICE BABY.

Retaining Varun is the right choice for both tactical as well as strategic reasons. Otherwise the traditional voters of the BJP would have deserted it without those now against it who would never have voted for it. Pilibhit will go to BJP this time.

But if Varun is withdrawn, not only Pilibhit will go but it will show the BJP in bad light for being a Party that lets its own candidates down which will give a handle to its opponents to create dissensions in BJP and NDA. Nor will the BJP's opponents or NDTV and CNN-IBN call it a "secular" Party and give it any positive coverage.

BUT VARUN MUST BE WARNED THAT HE MUST NEVER INDULGE IN ANY HATE SPEECHES AS A MATTER OF DECENCY AND PROPRIETY APART FROM FACING A HOSTILE GOVT.AND CEC.

Whether one accepts it or not, there are thousands of Muslims who vote for the BJP as they sincerely believe that they are not used as a vote bank only by it as the sham secular Parties have been doing for decades. After the 6 years of BJP rule at the Centre they have first hand experience that it is not an oppressive Party as alleged unlike the pseudo-secular parties who use them for electoral gains and then cast them aside for the next 5 years.

The community has also learnt not to listen to their so-called religious leaders on whom to vote for and they also vote for local bread and butter issues which makes them vote differently. To think otherwise will not be judging them fairly as it is based on a lie that the sham secular parties have been coercing Muslims to believing in rousing and using fear of their safety and security as a manipulative key against the BJP. Crying "Wolf" for a long time has exposed the true nature of the pseudo-secular outfits in the eyes of the Indian Muslims.

LALU THE CHALU

Lalu's sole intention of joining the UPA and constantly flattering Sonia Gandhi was to ensure that the Fodder Scam and other scams that he and his wife are involved in remained under wraps. He has been eminently successful in fooling the Congress which were dependent on RJD MPs for survival in the last 5 years as the Fodder Scam probe has remained in limbo due to Sonia's instructions.

Lalu hopes that with his tying up for vote consolidation with Ram Vilas (whom Rabri, Lalu's wife has been calling "vote katta" or a splitter of votes) will give him better dividends in terms of more MPs in Parliament than a tie-up with a demoralized Congress which is virtually non-existent in Bihar. It also gives a more united opposition to the NDA by ensuring avoiding a split in the anti-NDA votes. This in turn could give both Lalu and Paswan better bargaining power in the next Lok Sabha which is likely to be more fractured than the previous one, whether it is with the UPA or the Third Front.

Lalu is also daydreaming on the chance to wangle a better ministry next time based on the RJD's numbers and the extent of the fractured mandate the next elections ultimately throws up.

Lalu the chalu (cunning) is aware that as the Congress and the BJP have become too fat and lazy to work at the grassroots levels in the States now after having tasting power at the Centre, it could be the turn of the State based regional parties who have been concentrating in their own States for their survival to perform better than the two large all India parties. With the fratricidal battles raging within the CPI(M) and the other Left parties in Kerala and West Bengal, where the bitter rivals from the opposition-the Trinamool and Congress have made an pre -election alliance, Lalu knows that the Left/CPI(M) will fare much worse than they had done in the past. This will further increase the bargaining power of local satraps like Lalu, Paswan, Mayavati, Mamata Banerjee, Mulayam Singh et all in the next Lok Sabha which also gives them a chance to forge the Third Front leaving the subject of who will be the Prime Minister in this mish-mash is still wide open.

DIFFERENT LAWS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE

There are confirmed thugs, rapists and murderers in all political parties mostly in UP and Bihar who have even become Ministers. One such rogue even publicly offered Rs. 50 crores to anyone who would kill the Danish cartoonist who had drawn a likeness of Muhammad and nothing was done about it by those who are now baying for Varun's blood in order to solidify their pseudo-secular visage that does not wash with all Indians. But how and why this palpable discrimination on the face of so much evidence to the contrary? What is the law doing about it? What is Varun's fault? That he has abused another community? Yet all of us who have heard the so-called CD over the anti-BJP English TV channels, which Varun claims has been doctored, not even ONCE did he mention any community or their religion by name. Why is the media looking for a black cat in a dark room which is not there? Hatred or fear of the BJP? The Party has ruled over India for six years. Has it set the Himalayas on fire?

There are over a dozen FIRs for serious non-bailable sedition and contempt of court charges against the father and son duo of Imams Syed Abdullah and Ahmed Bukharis of Delhi's Jama Masjid who are moving around with full freedom without any anticipatory bail since many years. Is it because they had threatened that the whole country would be set on fire if anyone touches them? Has Varun done anything worse than them? All those against Varun including the English TV channels may kindly reply why the Bukharis have not been arrested even once. What is sauce for the goose ought to be sauce for the gander as well? But that is not the way the cookie crumbles in India where a large chunk of the so-called majority is smug in its self-destruct mode who justify that punitive action is reserved for hate speech by the majority community alone and not for the second majority. But does that mean that those who are not of the same mould should pack up their tents and jump into the Indian Ocean?

Varun Gandhi is merely the latest Gen-X who is telling all those who are hearing him that there cannot be different rules for different citizens of India and there are many who agree with him wholeheartedly even if the left liberals cry their hearts out or the bought off English media go ballistics against Varun. With this single action he has been pitch forked into the centre stage from relative obscurity which was his stock even in the first week of this March.

The Congress had been rooting for “youth” in order to project the second and third generation members of Congressmen with Rahul Gandhi, a hybrid species as compared to Varun, being the prime contender and also to counter L.K. Advani’s 80 years. Varun is nearly ten years younger than his elder cousin who is unofficially called Yuvraj in Sonia’s kitchen cabinet. Only the election results will prove whether Varun wins or loses. But one thing is undisputed that a can of worms has been opened up and Varun has unveiled a larger canvass which has even driven the opportunist BJP on its back foot as they have a single agenda of seeing Advani as the next PM-come what may. That’s not the way elections are won.

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL SECULARISTS.

The answer to your moribund question is how can something die when it was still born in the first place? First, the country is partitioned through pressure exerted by the so-called minority who should be called the "second majority" as they are far above the mandatory 10 % of the Indian population. This is a unique happening as nowhere else in the world's history has the minority been able the arm twist the majority to cede huge tracts of its territory due to communal and religious incompatibility professed by the second majority. Like a festering wound this is what has laid the foundation stone of India's pseudo-secularism which is passed off as genuine secularism by the rootless Left leaning liberals who keep reminding us that the Indian state is supposed to be colour blind. Add to that the Central Budget assisted blatant 50 % subsidy to Muslims for annual Haj and pilgrimage tax on Hindus visiting the Amarnath caves or anywhere else.

Muslims can take four wives under a warped legal system and a Kashmiri woman loses her Kashmiri citizenship (sic) if she marries an Indian from another state. But if a Pakistani woman marries a Kashmiri male she becomes an Indian citizen who can own land in J&K which no other Indian citizen can do. What is the message? That Article 370 underscores the fact that J&K is not yet fully integrated into the Indian Union like the other states!

The Muslims as minorities have many rights in India whereas the Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley (Wadi) have been rendered homeless in their own country having been a minority in J&K! Obviously, the minority status is selectively applied in India to the advantage of Muslim only.

Narendra Modi is Lucifer if less than a thousand Muslims die in Gujarat in retaliation to Godhra riots started by the Muslims first but Rajiv Gandhi deserves all our sympathies having lost his mother even if he had commissioned through his goons the pogrom against Sikhs which saw 3000 of them being set on fire on the streets of Delhi. Heads I win and tails I lose in favour of Muslims- EVERY TIME- that includes not touching the father son duo of Imam Bukharis of Jama Masjid despite over 10 arrest warrants each for sedition and contempt of court charges against them! And you are nosing around for a whiff of genuine secularism in an environment reeking of a fetid stink of sham secularism?

When one starts from an erroneous point in a journey or road map he is hardly expected to reach the correct destination unless there is a course correction along the way after the blinkers have fortuitously fallen off. Otherwise, one will fail every time. That is what the last more than 60 years has taught us that despite this much hyped Indian brand of secularism things are as bad as they were in 1947 on the Hindu Muslim question-the only deleterious change being that the Muslims in India today far outnumber their coreligionists across the border. Not a sign that they are a persecuted race by any stretch of imagination and more so if you consider that more than 20 million (and counting) Bangladeshi infiltrators-not refugees-have brazenly crossed over to settle down in India replicating Hitler's doctrine of Lebensraum adding to our burden.

India's family planning slogan of "Hum Do Hamare Do" has been drowned out by the more potent "Lekin Bangladesh se aney do" in both word and deed. The unique IMDT Act that is applicable only in Assam the most devastated state through relentless influx from across the porous border put the onus of proving an infiltrator to be so on the accuser and not the intruder. The person who single-handedly contributed to this unpardonable crime of inundating the entire Northeast then called Assam with a sea of rejected humanity from East Pakistan was later made the President of India who later repaid with gratitude the favour to Indira Gandhi by rubber stamping her demand for clamping the Emergency in 1975. It is worth recalling once more that it was the Muslims themselves who had wanted a separate country for themselves to be carved out of India the very country where they were now sneaking in by droves for permanent residence.

One has to have an independent and relentlessly inquiring mind shorn of any mentoring by those regurgitating discarded and spurious theories of a bygone era no matter how iconic they may appear to us or well intentioned and rational sounding they may be in their ignorance. One has to cut a lonely furrow even inviting ridicule or even persecution if required in order to arrive at the truth when all past theories and pious intentions have miserably failed. History has relentlessly taught us that the majority is rarely ever right and that only the seers were on course even though they had to face persecution during their contemporary times. History is replete with "rowing against the current" characters like Galileo, Copernicus or Socrates who were ahead of their times.

Recently, through an open letter the VHP has really caught the Indian Mullahs on the wrong foot and the cat is now out of the bag when it asked them to openly declare that they put the country above all else and that Hindus were not Kafirs. There is an identical reply from each of the recipient Mullahs which means they had panicked sensing a trap and had consulted each other before reacting to VHP's letter publicly. How can they say that the idol worshiper is not a kafir? How can they deny that the world is divided into Darul Islam & Darul Harab? How can they accept that all gods are one (bedrock of Indian secularism?) when they are reminded to believe differently five times a day over loudspeakers blaring an intolerant dictum from mosques which reinforces that there is only one god and that is Allah which all Indians have to put up with merely in order to prop up Bharat's tattered and lifeless concept of secularism?

How does one expect the average Hindu to react when an anti-God Marxist regime in Kerala takes over management of all his temples in the state, leaving all mosques and other Muslims shrines of profit (including liberal donations from the oil rich Gulf ) alone and pays a monthly pension of Rs. 4000 per month to all retired moulavis of madrassahs from the collections from the hundis of Hindu Devastanam Boards when similar largesse is denied to Hindu archakas from whose temples the money has been collected in the first place? Unless these questions can be honestly answered and corrective steps taken to usher in genuine secularism, this sellout to the vote bank exerting block will make matters worse all around including the concept of secularism itself which only a Hindu majority can ensure. We know that this very secularism that many of us blandly swear by was the first casualty when Pakistan was created as a Muslim El Dorado where Hindus were in insignificant numbers. No change even in Bangladesh when it was delivered with India playing the midwife. No different in the Indian Kashmir Valley where Muslims enjoy a brute majority that is even more glaring than Pakistan or Bangladesh ever since it had been ethnically cleansed after the Pandits had been chased out from there or killed.

Therefore, how can our Muslims declare that Ram and Rahim are one? Ishwar and Allah is tero naam? How can they glorify India when they refuse to sing Bande Mataram our national song? How can they deny that jihad is a must for the faithful as described in all their holy books from which militants accurately quote chapter and verse repeatedly? How can they deny by issuing a Fatwa that what the militants are doing are not as per their religion even though the choice exists to avoid following such tenets as done by the moderate majority?

Because if they follow the VHP's suggestions they will become redundant and useless to pseudo-secular political parties who depend on them to divert the block votes of the “aggrieved” faithful into the ballot boxes in their favour? Being a male dominated faith where women have a marginal role, the Taliban are admired by many in India even if they do not openly admit it. They know it well that if you have government support then the minority can also behave like the majority and this gives them the aggressiveness being shown all the time where an appeasing government is in power. Since Gujarat was an exception to this rule many are against an electorally (and democratically) successful Narendra Modi, mostly the pseudo-Hindus who march to an alien drum beat. The real danger to the millennium old unbroken idea of India lies lurking within sporadic fanatical movements at times bubbling to the surface within the larger Hindu psyche that wishes to replicate the clout of the mollycoddled Mullahs having government and political patronage for wielding power unto themselves by an identical and time tested route. And for that eventual catastrophe it will be our pseudo-secular and left leaning liberals who will be solely to blame.
