Digvijay Singh : The Ignoble Rajput

Dr. Vijaya Rajiva

The once glorious Indian National Congress, and the once glorious Rajputs, are both at the lowest ebb of their respective traditions as seen in two members of the Congress Party. The choice of Sonia Gandhi as President of the Party was a hapless one. The present writer has written about her unsuitability for Indian conditions. Unlike the intrepid freedom fighter for Indian independence, the Irish stalwart Annie Besant, who had immersed herself in Hindu India’s traditions, Sonia continued to nurture her monotheistic superstitions, thanks to the fact that her general education was non existent.It is not certain whether she has even a high school degree, or that she even took the diploma from the foreign language school in Cambridge town where the good nuns from Italy had sent her hoping that she would become an au pair girl or a domestic. Nor did she make an effort to study Indian history and Bharat’s culture and civilization. She locked herself into a solitude, surrounded by dubious characters. This was not her choice one hopes and her subsequent incursions into the murky side of a corrupt Congress led her down the unavoidable slippery slope. And as some commentators have observed, her mask has finally fallen, with the vicious attack on a Hindu Yoga guru and his peaceful followers on the night of June 4. That event is indeed the turning point. Hindu India will never forgive her , nor should they ever forget. Since she has kept her Italian passport( as alleged) then one can only pray that she does not return from her recent trip to Switzerland. India does not need anymore mafia donnas !

Digvijay Singh offers a marked contrast. One could depict him as a clown, except the seriousness of his slippery slope is also an insult to the Rajput tradition of loyalty to their country and heroic history. One does not even dare to mention the sacred name of a Rana Pratap, in this context of a Rajput gone bad. Unlike Sonia he had a heroic tradition to look up to and live by. What actually happened is a different story altogether.

Congress’s attack dog is hiding behind the strength of his master/mistress’s temporary popularity. As her fortunes ebb, the rats will leave the sinking ship.No doubt he will be the first. Till then he has some time and he is making the most of it. One has to only look at the sorry spectacle of a Rajput demeaning a Hindu Yoga guru, while simultaneously speaking of Bin Laden as Bin Ladenji. It is also reported by one perceptive journalist that it was Chidambaram and the exRajput who stood behind Sonia’s decision to attack Baba Ramdev.

The names this pitiful individual reserved for the Hindu Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev were ‘thug’ and ‘fraud’.

Under Sonia Gandhi’s 12 year reign of terror for the Hindus of India, this is possibly only one more example of anything goes. As long as it is someone from the majority community everything is fair game. But he is also playing a double game. During the satyagraha of the Yoga Guru in the first week of June, Digvijay Singh tried to fool the Hindu masses by using the phrase ‘ Hamare Sanatana Dharma’ (Our Sanatana Dharma).Who is he fooling. ? He is listed in the Wikipedia biography as Christian. He is a convert, presumably.

Now, there are thousands of Indian Christians who have stayed loyal to Bharat. They merely changed their religion, but their ancestral memories (unlike Sonia’s) are of Bharat. And by and large they have remained respectful and even appreciative of their Hindu ancestry, except when misled by missionary propaganda. Digvijay is also in addition an anomaly as a Rajput ( he is listed as a Rajput in the biographical entry).

Hindu India must continue to challenge this fraud. He is seeking the Muslim vote in Uttar Pradesh. Hence his visits to the area soon after 26/11. Here he is also in sync with his protégé, Rahul Gandhi, who we are told was partying all night at a friend’s wedding on the night of 26/11. The mother son duo and their faithful lackey have no interest in Bharat.

No self respecting Rajput would have called a Hindu Guru, a thug ! Only a depraved fallen Rajput obeying the whims of his mistress would do that.

Congress is shameless and has become a habitual liar: Maneka Gandhi

PTI

Terming the Congress-led government as "shameless" and a "habitual liar", BJP MP Maneka Gandhi today said the police action on yoga guru Ramdev in Delhi shows how low the government can stoop to.

"Congress is shameless and has become a habitual liar," Maneka told reporters while reacting on Delhi police affidavit in the Supreme Court regarding taking action against yoga guru Ramdev and his supporters at Ramlila ground in Delhi on June 5.

"Baba Ramdev staged satyagraha after taking due permission. There could be nothing more shameless than the government using lathis on saints and seers," Maneka alleged.

Crores of people watched the entire incident on the news channels in which several people were injured in police lathicharge, she said.

Attacking the Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh, she said that he has his own agenda and does not think before speaking.

"It seems that he has become voice of some other person and this should be probed throughly," the BJP leader alleged.

Sonia Gandhi : The Albatross Round India’s Neck

Dr. Vijaya Rajiva

Nitin Gadkari BJP President called Sonia a “symbol of fascism”. Jayanti Natarajan , spokesperson for the Congress retaliated by referring to Gadkari’s gutter politics and called for an apology. Ofcourse, Ms.Natarajan whom the present writer has heard belting out the most inane statements on television, has chosen the wrong words this time round also.

It is clear that the Congress stands for the urban elite and no longer for the aam admi. The vicious , savage attack on a Hindu Yoga guru and his followers at Ramlila grounds is ample evidence of that. Baba Ramdev comes from an OBC caste and many of his followers at the peaceful rally on June 5, 2011 are from what is called the lower middle class. This is middle India and Congress has no time for this India. Its President, ofcourse, did originally hail from the bottommost rung of Italian society. Neverthless, her marriage to the son of a well established Indian family made it possible for her to reach the highest levels of power, and now it would seem (if allegations are true) that she has also become a very wealthy woman. All, at the expense of middle and poor India which has been defrauded by the various scams that she too has beeen participant of, if the allegations are true. The matter is now with the Courts and one can await the results. The latest report on the movements of both her and her son are revealing. They are supposedly on holiday in a certain part of Switzerland (known for its dubious banking arrangements) and the speculation is that the duo are there to take care of their finances !

Ms Natarajan, does not seem to know the history of her own once glorious party, the Indian National Congress. It is now filled with dubious characters, the most vocal of them being Digivijay Singh. There are others too. The skeletons will be falling out of the cupboard before long.

But the star of the show is Sonia. Middle India put up with the excesses of the present Congress Party in its monetary and financial corruption. And on June 5 it suffered the excesses of fascism. Nitin Gadkari was right on target in using the word ‘fascism.’
If fascism can be defined as the combination of political power and high finance, then the present Congress and its president are embodiments of fascism. And when the government launches a savage attack on an unarmed peaceful crowd in the middle of the night, then one sees fascism’s terrified response to its own misdeeds being found out.

Sonia’s unfortunate entanglement in Indian politics is not likely to continue much longer. The Congress has gone into damage control mode and mistaking the temporary subsiding of Baba Ramdev’s satyagraha for victory it has become complacent. But this whistling in the dark is just that, a whistling in the dark.It won’t be long before it drops Sonia from its visible high profile posts, if it plans to survive into the next election.

Not just middle India, but all of India, except the Congress and its camp followers, are alert to the Party’s misdeeds. More will come out if an alert Opposition remains vigilant.
Dr. Subramania Swamy’s legal battles are always backed by substantial evidence. His moving the Court concerning Sonia Gandhi will produce substantial results. Other individuals are also speaking out.

Indians, as a people, must now reflect seriously on the fact that an Italian Catholic, who has not shed her monotheistic superstitions, cannot understand the vast and complex country that she was fated to link herself to. As a result she has been an easy target for careerists, opportunists, and fanatics in the Congress Party. She is especially vulnerable to other monotheists both in her personal circle and her national political circle. A quick google search tells one that her main attack dog Digvijay Singh is listed as a Christian.
Her personal advisor a Mr. Ahmed, is a Muslim. Her inner circle is composed of people who it is reported,belong to the minority communities. There are ofcourse, also the hangers on, waiting for crumbs from the high table and these are from all denominations and religions. The Minister for Railways went so far as to say that lighting a Hindu lamp at ceremonies should be scrapped. Some members of the minority, such as famed singer Jesudasan, got up and left that meeting in protest at the Minister’s statement.

Even the ‘secular’ Jawaharlal Nehru did not go that far. Lighting Hindu lamps has been an age old tradition in India, since time immemorial.

It is not just in these smaller details that Sonia reveals herself. Almost daily one hears reports of Christian evangelical groups being given free access to the country, the most recent one being the approval given to a US based Christian evangelist group, Word of God Fellowship Inc., to launch a non news channel in India. The approval was given by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). Then there is the recently released draft of the Communal Bill which is heavily weighted against the Hindu population. It should be pointed out that some dubious characters were on the committee that put forward this draft Bill. One of them is the infamous Teesta Setalvad who has been charged by the SIT with bribing witnesses, perjury, coercion etc. There are known anti Hindu personages such as John Dayal there.

Hindus may get complacent with the fact that their great and ancient civilization( the only one that remains standing in today’s world) in the past, has withstood conquests, murder and mayhem, the destruction of their great temples and conversion at the point of the sword, of their population. But today, both jihad and Christian conversion inside India has an additional support from the non nationalist elements of the ruling and upper middle classes, who are wedded to globalization and neo liberalism. To put it in less opaque terms, the concerned Hindu can no longer support globalization and the excesses of neo liberalism. Expecting support from the Left parties is also a misstep since their internationalism is a variant of the liberal position in Indian politics. Their nationalism is on the surface only.

It is time that the Hindus of India voted down the albatross : a moribund and corrupt political party and its president.

Foreign writer opens our eyes: Loot of Hindu Temples by Secular Governments

http://vicharak1.wordpress.com/

The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act of 1951 allows State Governments and politicians to take over thousands of Hindu Temples and maintain complete control over them and their properties. It is claimed that they can sell the temple assets and properties and use the money in any way they choose A charge has been made not by any Temple authority, but by a foreign writer, Stephen Knapp in a book (Crimes Against India and the Need to Protect Ancient Vedic Tradition) published in the United States that makes shocking reading.
Hundreds of temples in centuries past have been built inIndia by devout rulers and the donations given to them by devotees have been used for the benefit of the (other) people. If, presently, money collected has ever been misused (and that word needs to be defined), it is for the devotees to protest and not for any government to interfere. This latter is what has been happening currently under an intrusive law.

It would seem, for instance, that under a Temple Empowerment Act, about 43,000 temples in Andhra Pradesh have come under government control and only 18 per cent of the revenue of these temples have been returned for temple purposes, the remaining 82 per cent being used for purposes unstated.

Apparently even the world famous TirumalaTirupati Temple has not been spared. According to Knapp, the temple collects over Rs 3,100 crores every year and the State Government has not denied the charge that as much as 85 per cent of this is transferred to the State Exchequer, much of which goes to causes that are not connected with the Hindu community. Is it for this that devotees make their offering to the temples? Another charge that has been made is that the Andhra Government has also allowed the demolition of at least ten temples for the construction of a golf course. Imagine the outcry writes Knapp, if ten mosques had been demolished.

It would seem that in Karanataka, Rs. 79 crores were collected from about two lakh temples and from that, temples received Rs seven crores for their maintenance, Muslim madresas and Haj subsidy were given Rs 59 crores and churches about Rs 13 crores. Very generous of the government.

Because of this, Knapp writes, 25 per cent of the two lakh temples or about 50,000 temples in Karnataka will be closed down for lack of resources, and he adds: The only way the government can continue to do this is because people have not stood up enough to stop it.

Knapp then refers to Kerala where, he says, funds from the Guruvayur Temple are diverted to other government projects denying improvement to 45 Hindu temples. Land belonging to the Ayyappa Temple, apparently has been grabbed and Church encroaches are occupying huge areas of forest land, running into thousands of acres, near Sabarimala.

A charge is made that the Communist state government of Kerala. wants to pass an Ordinance to disband the Travancore & Cochin Autonomous Devaswom Boards (TCDBs) and take over their limited independent authority of 1,800 Hindu temples. If what the author says is true, even the Maharashtra Government wants to take over some 450,000 temples in the state which would supply a huge amount of revenue to correct the states bankrupt conditions.

And to top it all, Knapp says that in Orissa, the state government intends to sell over 70,000 acres of endowment lands from the Jagannath Temple, the proceeds of which would solve a huge financial crunch brought about by its own mismanagement of temple assets.

Says Knapp: Why such occurrences are so often not known is that the Indian media, especially the English television and press, are often anti-Hindu in their approach, and thus not inclined to give much coverage, and certainly no sympathy, for anything that may affect the Hindu community. Therefore, such government actions that play against the Hindu community go on without much or any attention attracted to them.

Knapp obviously is on record. If the facts produced by him are incorrect, it is up to the government to say so. It is quite possible that some individuals might have set up temples to deal with lucrative earnings. But that, surely, is none of the governments business? Instead of taking over all earnings, the government surely can appoint local committees to look into temple affairs so that the amount discovered is fairly used for the public good?

Says Knapp: Nowhere in the free, democratic world are the religious institutions managed, maligned and controlled by the government, thus denying the religious freedom of the people of the country. But it is happening in India. Government officials have taken control of Hindu temples because they smell money in them, they recognize the indifference of Hindus, they are aware of the unlimited patience and tolerance of Hindus, they also know that it is not in the blood of Hindus to go to the streets to demonstrate, destroy property, threaten, loot, harm and kill Many Hindus are sitting and watching the demise of their culture. They need to express their views loud and clear Knapp obviously does not know that should they do so, they would be damned as communalists. But it is time some one asked the Government to lay down all the facts on the table so that the public would know what is happening behind its back. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is not secularism. And temples are not for looting, under any name. One thought that Mohammad of Ghazni has long been dead.

मर्यादा का उल्लंघन

Tarun Vijay

कांग्रेसी नेताओं ने बाबा रामदेव और अन्ना हजारे के विरुद्ध जिस प्रकार के शब्दों का इस्तेमाल किया उससे सार्वजनिक जीवन में अभद्रता और अशालीनता का ही घनत्व बढ़ा है। पर इसमें कांग्रेस के लिए कुछ भी नया नहीं है। राजकाज में हिंदू जीवन मूल्यों के प्रति घोर अपमान तथा तिरस्कार का भाव रखने वाली कांग्रेस ने बाबा लोगों के राजनीति में इस्तेमाल को प्राय: एक संस्थागत रूप ही दे दिया है। डालडा में घी की चर्बी, जाली और अशास्त्रीय शंकराचायरें के अयोध्या आंदोलन में घोर हिंदू हित विरोधी बयानों का प्रचार, राम सेतु तोड़ने के विषय पर अपने घरेलू संतों के इस्तेमाल आदि की अनेक घटनाएं इसकी पुष्टि करती हैं।
वर्तमान समय में राजनीति के कलुष का ही यह प्रभाव है कि सार्वजनिक हित के मुद्दों पर राजनेताओं के बजाय योगी-संन्यासियों को आगे आना पड़ रहा है। उनका किसी भी राजनीतिक दल से संबंध न रखना न तो जन हित में है और न ही इससे उनके आंदोलन को व्यापक जन समर्थन मिल सकेगा। राजनेताओं पर आम आदमी का विश्वास उठ गया है। इस सार्वजनिक जीवन की शुचिता और साख बनाए रखने लिए भी यह जरूरी है कि बाबा रामदेव तथा अन्ना हजारे जैसे आंदोलन गैर राजनीतिक रंग के रहे और उनको समर्थन देने के द्वार सभी राजनीतिक दलों के लिए खुले रहें।
संप्रग सरकार भ्रष्टाचार के प्रश्न पर बुरी तरह घिर गई है। भ्रष्टाचार व महंगाई से ध्यान भटकाने के लिए वह नए-नए मुद्दे खड़े करती रहती है। बाबा रामदेव और उनके अनुयायियों पर मध्य रात्रि में किया गया प्रहार भ्रष्टाचार पर चर्चा को ढकने के लिए किया गया। इस घोर सांप्रदायिक आचरण पर कांग्रेस को भयंकर सार्वजनिक निंदा का शिकार होना पड़ा। इसके बावजूद दिग्विजय सिंह जैसे लोगों के अपमानजनक बयान आते ही रहे। यदि बाबा रामदेव के स्थान पर उसी स्थान पर, उसी मुद्दे को लेकर कोई मुस्लिम मौलाना अनशन पर बैठा होता तो क्या कांग्रेस राज में उस पर इस प्रकार का अत्याचार होता? निश्चित रूप से उस समय कांग्रेस के यही नेता अपने हिंदू विरोधी सांप्रदायिक चेहरे के साथ उसके पास चिकन बिरयानी लेकर पहुंचते। इसी प्रकार 1967 में कांग्रेस के राज में गौहत्या निषेध के लिए देश भर से आए साधू-संतों पर भयंकर लाठी चार्ज और गोलीबारी की गई थी। मीनाक्षीपुरम की घटना पर भी कांग्रेस ने इसी प्रकार का सांप्रदायिक चेहरा दिखाया था। अयोध्या आंदोलन के विरुद्ध तथा ऑपरेशन ब्ल्यू स्टार के वक्त भी कांग्रेस का ऐसा ही सांप्रदायिक घृणा का रुख सामने आया था। जो कांग्रेस हिंदू संगठनों के विरुद्ध जहर उगलती है और उसके नेता उनके बारे में अभद्र शब्दों का सार्वजनिक इस्तेमाल करते हैं, वही कांग्रेस आजादी के बाद पहली ऐसी सरकार बनाती है, जिसमें भारत विभाजन की दोषी मुस्लिम लीग को केंद्रीय मंत्रिमंडल में शामिल किया गया।
भारतीय माटी के रंग में रंगा कोई भी पहलू कांग्रेस के लिए तिरस्कार का पात्र ही रहा है। पाठकों को एनसीईआरटी के पाठ्यक्रम में भगवान महावीर, गुरु तेगबहादुर, भगत सिंह और पृथ्वीराज चौहान जैसे महापुरुषों के बारे में असत्य और अपमानजनक टिप्पणियों से कोई ऐतराज नहीं था लेकिन जब मुरली मनोहर जोशी ने इन गलतियों को ठीक करने का प्रयास प्रारंभ किया तो इसी कांग्रेस ने उन कम्युनिस्टों के साथ भगवाकरण का शोर मचाया था जिन कम्युनिस्टों ने 1962 में चीनी आक्रमण का साथ दिया था। भगवाकरण शब्द इस प्रकार इस्तेमाल किया गया मानो यह रंग राष्ट्रीयता का शत्रु हो। अब सोनिया गांधी की सहमति के साथ राष्ट्रीय सलाहकार परिषद, जो सत्ता और शासन का असैंवाधानिक मंच बन गई है, एक ऐसे हिंदू विरोधी अधिनियम को सामने ला रही जिससे हर गली मोहल्ले में सांप्रदायिक शत्रुता की दीवारें खड़ी हो जाएंगी। सांप्रदायिक हिंसा रोकने के नाम पर लाया जा रहा सांप्रदायिक हिंसा अधिनियम हिंदुओं और मुसलमानों को 1946-47 की तरह आमने-सामने शत्रुता के साथ खड़ा करने का षड़यंत्र है ताकि हर मोर्चे पर असफल पार्टी अब सांप्रदायिक नफरत फैला कर और स्वयं को मुसलमानों का एकमात्र संरक्षक जता कर उनके वोट हासिल कर सके।
इसी सप्ताह विदेशमंत्री एसएम कृष्णा ने घोषित किया है की हज पर जाने वाले यात्रियों का पासपोर्ट बिना किसी पुलिस जांच के बनाया जाएगा। यह एक आश्चर्यजनक बयान है। हज हो या कोई भी अन्य धार्मिक यात्रा, हर कोई सुविधा से जाए इसमें किसी को ऐतराज नहीं होना चाहिए। लेकिन क्या हर प्रकार की असंवैधानिक प्रक्रिया इसके लिए की जानी चाहिए? क्या किसी ने कभी सुना है कि कैलाश मानसरोवर, ननकाना साहेब, ढाकेश्वरी यात्रा, शादानी दरबार की पाकिस्तान यात्रा, माता हिंगलाज मंदिर के दर्शन के लिए बलूचिस्तान यात्रा के लिए सरकार ने एक बार भी कोई अतिरिक्त सुविधा देने की घोषणा की हो? क्या इस सरकार ने कभी कटास राज मंदिर यात्रा के लिए कोई पहल की है?
इस वातावरण में राजनीतिक दलों को भी अपने अहंकार छोड़ कर देश हित में अपने कामकाज और व्यवहार को बदलने के बारे में विचार करना चाहिए। सार्वजनिक जीवन में शब्दों की शालीनता और सभ्यता का व्यवहार लोकतंत्र की जमीन होती है। लेकिन परास्त मानसिकता के साथ कांग्रेस ने इस संपूर्ण वातावरण को निहायत घटिया स्तर पर उतार दिया है।

The right to life and liberty is not merely a minority right

Anand Srinivas

To the National Advisory Council

Sub: REPRESENTATIONS AGAINST THE PREVENTION OF COMMUNAL AND TARGETED VIOLENCE (ACCESS TO JUSTICE AND REPARATIONS) BILL, 2011

Sir,

The intention of the Bill is laudable-i.e. to prevent communal and targeted violence and alleviate human suffering and to enforce the rule of law. However, there are some fatal flaws in the Bill.

1.The right to life and liberty enshrined in Article 20 of the Constitution is the fundamental right of every citizen and not merely that of a citizen belonging to religious or linguistic minority, in any State in the Union of India, or Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The right to life and liberty is not merely a minority right and cannot be equated with article 30 which deals with rights of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. Every citizen, whether belonging to a majority group or minority group is entitled to protection from communal and targeted violence and to receive reparations in case of loss of life in communal violence. Therefore, defining the “group” to only cover “religious or linguistic minority, in any State in the Union of India, or Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes” is blatant discrimination against those who do not belong to “religious or linguistic minority, in any State in the Union of India, or Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes”. It becomes a license in the hands of a religious minority or linguistic minority to resort to violence against the majority community.

2.Clause 2(j) of the Bill defines victim as “ any person belonging to a group as defined under this Act, who has suffered physical, mental, psychological or monetary harm or harm to his or her property as a result of the commission of any offence under this Act, and includes his or her relatives, legal guardian and legal heirs, wherever appropriate”. Human suffering is the same whether the sufferer/victim be a hindu / muslim/ Christian /Sikh/atheist/anyome . This absurd definition of victim assume that only minorities suffer victimhood when majority community attacks them and that the majority community never suffers when minorities get violent with them. To discriminate between victims based on which community they belong is inhuman and goes against all tenets of humanity and constitution.

3. The definition of “hostile environment against a group” in clause 2(f) of the Bill inter alia includes “ (i) boycott of the trade or businesses of such person or making it otherwise difficult for him or her to earn a living”. This is ridiculous for a number of reasons as under:

(a)It is only too well-known that Christians and muslims are opposed to idol worship and Hindus believe in idol worship. Hindus, by their very nature, do not compel others to follow idol worship. But some fanatical Christians and fanatical muslims go to the extent of defacing or damaging idols worshipped by hindus. In fact Quran narrates the story of Prophet Abraham opposing idol worship by smashing idols worshipped by his people. So, if Hindus are aggrieved by any such acts of defilement of their idols, boycott of trade or business of offending minority community is moral and legitimate reaction while the so-called “retaliatory violence” against the minority community is immoral and illegitimate. This measure of economic boycott is consistent with the principles of ahimsa and is moral and will actually prevent communal violence against minority.

(b)Ultimately, a member of majority community has a right to decide whom he will hire or from whom he will buy as it involves his pocket. Nobody can force him to buy from any particular person on the grounds of secularism or secular fabric. If a majority community member decides not to buy from a minority community shop, he is merely exercising his choice and in no way this is any indignity on the minority member.

(c)This provision can be easily abused against any community. A muslim/Christian may put up a beef shop in an area where only hindus, Buddhists and jains reside. They may not buy beef from him for obvious reason. Or they may approach local police station and file a case for hurting religious sentiments and police may close the beef shop. The “aggrieved” muslim/Christian would simply invoke this “boycott of the trade or businesses of such person or making it otherwise difficult for him or her to earn a living”. Clause. Again a muslim can set up a halal meat shop in a Christian-majority or hindu-majority state. Hindus/ Christians may consider the halal method of slaughter as cruel to the animals and avoid buying halal meet. The “aggrieved” muslim can invoke these provisions against the Hindus/Christians.

4. Clause 8 of the Bill deals with hate propaganda. “ whoever publishes, communicates or disseminates by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representation or otherwise acts inciting hatred causing clear and present danger of violence against a group or persons belonging to that group, in general or specifically, or disseminates or broadcasts any information, or publishes or displays any advertisement or notice, that could reasonably be construed to demonstrate an intention to promote or incite hatred or expose or is likely to expose the group or persons belonging to that group to such hatred, is said to be guilty of hate propaganda”. If this definition is applied to Quran, it clearly amounts to hate propaganda against Jews, Christians, Idol worshippers (hindus/ Buddhists /jains) as its verses precisely do what is mentioned in clause 8 of the Bill. In fact, I am supported in this stand by the views of Christian authors like Robert Spencer of www.jihadwtch.org and www.answering-islam.org . Also I am supported in my views by ex-muslims like ,M.A.Khan who runs www.islam-watch.org .

Not only that, Sultan Shahin of www.newageislam.com , a progressive muslim admits that these violent and hate-preaching verses of Quran are a problem and wants the ulema(muslim scholars) to declare a fatwa that these verses are no longer valid for modern times. Sultan Shahin’s article “Indian Ulema have no time to lose, must call warlike Quranic surahs obsolete”can be accessed here at the following link

http://newageislam.com/NewAgeIslamArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=787

In the above link, Sultan Shahin gives a complete list of controversial verses from Quran which preach hate and violence against non-muslims. This Bill would prevent ex-muslims, progressive muslims from speaking out and may suppress their voice and hamper the efforts of ex-muslims, progressive muslims and non-muslims in fihting jihadist terror.

Conclusion

Communal violence is indeed a blot on secular society and must be prevented. But that is a multi-dimensional problem. A half-baked law like the Communal Violence Bill may actually end up giving minorities an incentive to indulge in communal violence against minorities. The existing provisions of Indian Penal Code,1860 must be enforced strictly and police force should be professionalized and come under an independent Police Commission which should be as independent as Election Commission. We all know what a wonderful job the independent Election Commission has done. The Police recruitment, transfers etc should be under an independent Police Commission whose status shall be guaranteed under the Constitution. These will solve the problem better than half-baked Communal Violence Bill.

I would also like to depose personally before the NAC. You may communicate to me at my e-mail address.

Thanking You

Yours faithfully

Wake up India !

Dr Babu Suseelan


Wake up India! A corrupt, despotic, anti Indian criminals are misdirecting, mismanaging and misguiding our citizens. An uneducated Italian Catholic lady is determining the destiny of billions of Hindus. Most Hindus sense a danger-a loss of control, and erosion of moral-ethical-Dharma values, a social drift. Power is concentrated in the hands of few anti Hindu criminals and Sonia cronies. We need a systematic and assertive plan to get rid of these miscreants, vagabonds, criminals and corrupt politicians who act without guilt, remorse or fear. They cannot be changed through unconditional positive regard, non judgmental attitude or passive fasting. We need to corner them contain them and a force continuum shall be applied to remove them from power. In this eternal struggle, good is still on one end of the spectrum and evil on the other. The Sonia gang is giving a false sense of becoming nationalist leaders through their illogical reasoning. It is time for the majority to kick out these anti national criminal politicians. In a democracy citizens should get rid of their apathy, indifference, denial, and gloom.

Why repeats the battle cry the for removal of the corrupt congress party and its Italian born Catholic Sonia? We need to hit the veil of secrecy of the corrupt congress party and its Italian catholic leader acting as an agent of the Vatican. Psychologically programmed people should be told and retold to become motivated and invigorated to avoid armageddon. When the mafia groups took control of India and looting our wealth, the facts should be repeatedly told to educate, inform and empower the public. What should we do when the elitist group repeatedly brainwash our public, misdirect them engage in a deliberate continuous and constant psychological war through the media? We need to present real facts in a fiery, challenging, and persuasive manner to wake up our sleeping citizens who are subjected to oppression for hundreds of years. We need to expose the corrupt Sonia gang and money lords who pull the strings. It is time to sounds the call to choose: allow the conspirators to continue or empower the public for strong action.

A conspiracy runs the Indian government. The decay in Indian politics goes beyond the ethically challenged Italian Fascist Sonia,.Corruption permeates the Judiciary, denfese forces, bureocracy and the police. That suggest a malignancy cannot be excised with pacifism. The far-reaching issue before us today is what we plan to do about the criminal gang ruining our culture and the country. It is time for all citizens to arm themselves with a plan to remain free of coercion, fear and indifference. Remove the social-political apathy that has created the fertile soil for the corrupt politicians to survive.

Wake up India. It is time to choose-corruption or empowerment. Action or inaction. Our Dharma or slow death.
