Sing Vande Mataram or Quit India

Is this how a democracy is supposed to work? I think our people have got the formula wrong. It is a dictatorship if I have to be patriotic to live in India. In a democracy I should be permitted be as un-patriotic as I like and to even hate the country that I live in. [...]

Now Indians Divide and Rule India with Reservations

There was a time when the Mughals invaded India and plundered, slaughtered and converted. Thus came about Indian Muslims.
Then the British invaded India and plundered more, slaughtered less and converted too. But what they did best was they divided India along all sorts of lines - religion, caste, language, region etc.
And Indians despised the British [...]

Minority Protection is an Unnecessary Myth

Protection of the minorities, it seems, is a standpoint of good governance. I vehemently disagree.
Not because I believe that the minorities do not deserve protection. But because good governance entails the protection of all its peoples from any threat, internal or external. We can logically conclude that it includes the protection of the minorities from [...]

Jesus stops Bush from honoring the Mahatma

Just recently, the monarch of Saudi Arabia, the world’s incubator for terrorism, broke all protocol by denying to pay homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Raj Ghat. He betrayed utter insecurity over his religion by citing Islam as the reason.
Now George Bush, when confronted with a question on the same matter, “was caught off guard and [...]

AMU - A pack of Muslims without backbones

The Judiciary seems to be the only organization that is preserving the sanity of India. The Congress and most other political parties are slaves of the Muslims and this has led the community to a disappointing ruination.
Indira Gandhi promised around 1980 that Aligarh [...]

VHP - the Nation’s laughing stock!

VHP comes out very regularly with hilarious comments that remind me of living in a pig sty!
Acharya Dharmendra, a VHP leader, has now criticized Sania Mirza and accused her of destroying the institution of marriage with her comments.
Sania Mirza said “it was not others’ business to decide whether she wears a six inches or a [...]

Muslim quotas in IIT, IIM and IIFT

See the latest post on Reservations in IITs and IIMs for OBCs here.
Today is a very sad day in India’s future when our Govt. has “considered” taking a turn back into the Black Ages.
The notorious Congress party once again promotes reservations for Muslims with an eye on their votes, this time in the IITs and [...]

Hindu Right erroneously equated to Islamic Terror

Martha Nussbaum’s fantastic tales are only getting more tiring - now she compares the RSS-BJP Hindu “Right” of India to Al Qaeda! This is the height of wrong analogies and misinformation - it has indeed turned into a slandering of the Sangh Parivar.
I’m not involved with the Sangh, but I have no qualms in saying [...]

US Academic thinks Indian Democracy is in Danger

Martha Nussbaum’s third post is a continuation of her tirade against the “Hindu Right” in India. She speaks eloquently against victimizing the Muslim community of being violent or waging a war, yet she contradicts her stance and accuses the Hindu (Right) community of the same actions.
It is a matter of great pride that, as she [...]

Islamophobia, Secularism, Terrorism and the Delhi blasts

One day after the deadly bombs, speculation is rife as to who the mastermind is. 61 lives and an unknown terrorist group, Inquilab, have claimed responsibility - but I wonder that this must be just cheap publicity for the new outfit.
Will the Indian Govt. step up its anti-terror strategies - it will for a few [...]
