in the name of hinduism

this website is supposedly about hinduism,

here, they wade into politics, as they do very often or most often.

http://www.tamilhindu.com/2011/03/need-for-change-of-tamilnadu-government-1/

this is the role of the missionaries of hinduism. along with spreading hinduism, they also engage in politics. such is the greatness of this religion that it needs to get a party defeated for this religion to flourish.

they openly back one political party, the BJP ,in this article. this is the religion of the twenty-first century. here, the missionaries need the rulers to back their religious endeavor. so, they resort to any means at their disposal to get the government to be in their favour. the government must be receptive to their endeavors. this is religion which will lead to god.

in the past, there used to be some such missionaries, who succeeded in their endeavors, to get the rulers to be favorable to them. we have the results in front of our eyes, where we were almost entirely drowned in this alien aryan nonsense, until leaders emerged on the scene who managed to rescue us.

what we have to ponder is why did creation throw up such a being as the hindutva supporter. why did nature create such a wasted being, that has a necessity to machinate and obfuscate all the time. why did nature create such a being, that does not know about decency and wisdom and honour and common sense. what could nature's motives have been in creating such a wasted type of being.

elders counsel and divine sanction

in the rajya sabha,as all the representatives began asking questions of the home minister,the real wisdom and the counsel came out,as everyone from ram vilas paswan to rashid alvi spoke,the home minister must have found the interaction useful.

i was not unlucky to have heard any bjp member speak,but the speakers i heard referred to some one else who had spoken about mobs and the abrogation of article 370.

the depths of the foolishness of these guys makes us obvious that these people are beyond correction.the disease of the rss has taken too deep a hold for these people to be freed.these people are stuck in some shame that the rss has made them feel that they have inherited.this intake of falsehood has robbed them of the faculty of common sense.

as lk advani sits, wringing his hands in parliament, like the so-very-good-poor fellow, at least now he will and should realise that lying and deceiving will ultimately result in the wringing of hands.there are still so many countless people who are continuously fooled and cheated, by these undeserving for public life people.the wisdom and the clarity of our ancestors has been allowed to be rubbished,all just for the necessity of a fringe community that feels rootless and hopeless,in spite of having been present for over 2 milennia.just because this fringe community wants to get back to the position that we were cursed to go through,all the others who have some issue with  flowering of democracy, and all those who have lost their links with their origins, are being wrecked into mental destruction by this fringe group.

the fringe group is flirting with danger, in its attempt to believe itself into a mythical status.the daydreamers will be brought awake with a thud.

the more that they corrupt and misinform and mislead and fool, the more that they are putting themselves up for the retribution of nature.

the divisions that they fed to the people, make them feel that they will never ever be thrown out.
beware, nature and truth will strike when you least expect it. try to reform and shed all that you yourselves know is contrived and useless.begin the life of honesty and hard work and you will find peace.if you continue to resort to reach the pinnacle by lying and cunning,your time is now.

at least now, stop peddling rama and hanuman and sustaining yourselves.

as for the equivalent on the other side of the border, the floods have given work,that you first grow your food and live your life, before trying to help others.these others too were asked by ram vilas paswan,what is the issue, he asked?all the journalists will talk big.but what the issue is is that some people do not want to admit that their lives were wasted,these people fought for the sake of islam,not for the sake of justice.all those who fought for justice died in the battles,all those youth who fought against injustice.those who used some injustice here to want to join there, are the ones who now refuse to understand that their lives were wasted.

all those who want to win in politics for their religion, and fool themselves that their religion will give them their destiny,in a situation where there is no issue of religion,ultimately end up losing,the geelanis and the advanis have lost.the zias and the khaleda zias have lost. the rajapakses and the osamas are the ones who are living on borrowed time,fighting for their religion and their god, the god will be laughing and these morons who want to uplift the god.do they think that are equal to god, to try to uplift the god.

enlightenment

in the old days,a person might go through life with all its experiences or might withdraw from society and would gain the wisdom that could be enlightenment.he would then give his advice and help those who seek him out for guidance.
in todays world,there are either the ones who sell their advice after having reached the point of enlightenment or the ones who pick up a gun and try to get everyone to share their enlightenment by forcing them toward the right route.there are those who are willing to buy the received wisdom as there are those who believe that others can think for them on their behalf.the jihadis who believe that the rest have to be herded into what they only have grasped are the stand outs.they want to force everyone into their level of enlightenment.maybe,they are having doubts about their own enlightenment and want the brute numbers to augment their enlightenment.the indian varieties who sell wisdom are even more arrogant when one looks at it closely.they claim to possess something for everyone and are steering everyone towards their vision.
of course,there are the real people doing the real work of providing people with an anchor and are a guiding light.
there are various levels of disonesty out there in the world being practiced by the ones who use religion for the easiest vocation,sorting out the problems of people.

al qaeda

they have been at it again,this time in somalia.
the motto seems to be,lets fight all over the world for all time to come,we will be fighting forever till the end of time,we will see who remains standing.
these guys have become addicted to violence.the addiction must also have happened because of an inability to understand what others are doing everywhere else.these others are doing things in business,science,etc.they are constantly doing something.the al qaeda affiliates do not know what to make of all this,whether to begin to join the rest or to just remain doing what we were doing.not being able to go either way,they have decided to instead fight the others.fight and achieve what,not exactly sure.if the others will fight back,as they only will,what is the objective.
if it is israel that is the problem,they can ask for an immediate return to pre 1967 and can help the palestinians to regain all they have lost.they can get together,if that is possible,and stop selling oil to the world.they can demand a return to pre 1967 immediately.
the american need to be everywhere is the primary reason for all of the al qaeda and other problems.
they want to be everywhere doing everything and then they want to call it "our way of life".
they want the oil of the middle east,the markets of india,the money of china,all for "our way of life".
if they can do something within their own country and then call it "our way of life",they will be congratulated.
having gone everywhere and destroyed everything everywhere,they are now trying to keep everything in our control,as otherwise,"our way of life"will be at peril.
for "our way of life",they need to destroy everything everywhere.
and they have now received competition from another group who wants to take "our way of life" to them.
the al qaeda have begun the same process in the opposite direction.
since there is a mismatch between the two sides,one side resorts to things that have come to be called "terrorism".
the americans can kill civilians and call it collateral damage,in the quest for "our way of life".
the al qaeda cannot kill civilians,though,in the quest for their way of life.
the rest of the world including us have to be searching for economic activity as otherwise,it is believed that societies will stagnate and fragment.
to prevent such a stagnation and fragmentation,god sent his message through the prophet mohammed.but,now,his followers are involved in using that message to underpin their fight against another group;this group is not seeking to take its message, that it also received from god, to the rest of the world but is severely deranged in the quest for wealth.
the al qaeda has to therefore eschew mixing up its religion with its fight.
its religion should be helping it in resolving its earthly matters and disputes not be the reason for the fight.
they have to spell out what exactly they are striving for.
if they want to turn saudi arabia into a different type of country,one which becomes the supreme centre of the islamic world,they also have to spell out whether they will continue to sell oil to the rest of the world or they will stop selling it and revert to the ways of the desert as it was earlier.
the americans have to spell out who they are to overturn everything everywhere.do they assume themselves to be more talented than any one anytime in history.if they possess that kind of talent,then they can easily use that talent to talk to people everywhere and get them to learn from them with bated breath.
they are two sides of the same coin,the americans and al qaeda,seeking supremacy in the garb of something else.
it is time to call their bluff,since we have now begun to interact with them,we can stay engaged and find out what they feel when hard questions are asked of them.
if they turn brattish and try to go back on agreements,we should be ready for that.
the taliban should be asked to register themselves as a political party and spell out what they wish to do if they gain power.
if the people do not support them,they have to wait and work,to get their opinion across.
if they support them,it is the will of the people.
the israeli criminals got the support of the united states when they did not uphold the will of the people of the gaza strip.
it is upto the europeans now.

vhp,let etc

there is a dispute over a piece of land and a structure on it between two parties.
one of the parties mobilises a big mob with the help of his friends and attacks the structure and demolishes it.
if there is a law which is governing the land,the people who mobilised the mob will be punished.
there will not be a change in the status because the structure was demolished.
the matter will continue to be heard in the court.
the court will pronounce judgement.

how will the affected party feel,will he just shrug his shoulders and grin?
if the party which resorted to violence felt that it owned the land centuries back,it had to prove its case.failing to do so would have meant conceding defeat in the case.
if there had been a forceful and illegal acquisition in the past,it has to be proved.
if it cannot be proved,there has to respect for the law of the land.
if there are responsible people who are arguing for the case,they will explore all options available and seek to win in the court of law.
if one party implements violence and does not repect the rule of law,the other party will only feel aggrieved.
considering that islam was a religion that was new and had come into the Indian subcontinent,there would surely have been clashes between the new and the old.the new would have felt justified in being morally right in implementing their religion.
the old would have resisted.
the battle of wills was conducted over centuries and the old continued to hold sway.the new also slowly settled into the land having found its own space.
the muslims were rulers for some time ,ruling over mostly hindu subjects.
then,the rulers changed and times changed.things moved on.
there was no 1000 year war between the two,no intractable conflict,no fundamental inability to live with one another.
the friction between the old and the new slowly subsided.
now,after many centuries,after times have changed,trying to rake up all of that is not doing justice to those people of those time,who confronted each other with different ideologies and then withdrew to exist,each as he wills.

universal truth

all religions are said to possess universal truths.
the problem is that people cannot consider the basic point that if god has given them a message,he has also given messages to other peoples living in other areas of the world.
these humans then keep trying to take the message that they have received to other peoples whom god has spoken to through other prophets or happenings.
if the jews were told by god that they were a chosen people,it was done to lift their flagging spirits as they were surrounded by great empires.
if christ came and tried to reform the jewish religion,it was done because it had become to get corrupted.
if islam was conveyed to the people of the middle east through the prophet mohammed,it was because the people there needed guidance,when others in the neighbourhood had already received some communication from god.
now,there are some groups who want to believe that the message they have received has actually been one intended for the whole of humanity and these have set out to spread this message with a conviction that would have left god frustrated.
he will be thinking,what i gave to you,keep it and live a simple life,why are you idiots behaving like this and extrapolating it to everyone else,with whom i have maintained communication.
the jews want to believe that they are special,the christian missionaries want to think that the history of israel is the history of the world and the jihadi muslims want to believe that everyone else is not lucky enough to have received what they have.
the most uncivilised person is one who actually inflicts violence on another people in the name of god.
if islam is having descriptions of how to regulate minorities living in islamic regions,why cannot the jihadi muslims begin to understand that the reverse also can be true,areas where muslims are in the minority.in the absence of institutionalised discrimination,what made idiots out of the headleys of the world.
http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_david-headley-posed-as-jew-in-mumbai_1309057
these guys have set out to kill people,and there is no one to counsel them out of their idiocy.
and then,there are those in our country who have scorn for all other religions and try to use their religion to get political power.

vande mataram

however it may appear to be insensitive and unwarranted,all that the fatwa actually reveals is that islam is having organisation as does christianity.both of these religions have totally enforceable tenets and are having a structure.
some sections of the so called hinduism have been attempting to pass off their religion and methods and practices as being common and belonging to the vast majority which does not have the slightest idea or understanding of these practices.there is a respect or a tendency to view with respect all practices that are spiritual.the same has been misunderstood and misrepresented as an adherence to these practices.over the centuries,some of these practices have become entrenched and deep rooted among the people and along with it the evils of the caste system and its myths have also made inroads into the people.while these practices and methods might have truth or deep meaning within them,they have been used to divide the people fundamentally.
buddhism and sikhism were formed to lead the people out of the thrall of such myths and religions.
the vedic religion might have been good for its core practitioners but it has been of no use for the vast population.
the ancient and continuous civilisation necessitated the evolution of laws which governed the people and resolved their problems.the people were simple enough to have used these laws to go about their lives and did not need any special divine sanctions or commandments to give weightage to them.the entire world was drawn to this ancient land and its uncomplicated ways.
everyone needed to come here.
the vedic culture happened to come here quite early and was the first entrant from outside.over three millennia,it has acquired a hold over the people that is not healthy.the people did not need any systematic religion,they just needed to go about their life and whatever was interesting was accepted.the people have never needed to acquire any religion and pontiff whose say was absolute and also who was indispensably linked to and controlling the rulers.
right from the vedic religions to the later entrants,there have been attempts to change the simple ways of the people into all of these systematic religions.
in north india,where the hold and effect of the vedic religion was severe,buddhism and sikhism attempted to break such shackles.
in south india,rationalism was attempted to be taken to the people as athe fastest and most effective way to break the vedic religion and its destruction of the culture.
the vedic religion is at odds with islam and christianity as it views these organised religions as a threat to its entrenchment.
the people have their own ways which is separate from any of these religions.
the people are organised in different regions in different ways.
saivism can be said to be the mainstay and the basis and the core of the thinking of the people.
vaishnavism is more urban and is deriving from the vedic religion.rama and krishna have become the tools to appeal to the common man to enroll into the vedic religion.
the vedic religion has become synonymous with the caste system and other ills in the so called hinduism.
without removing these basic flaws,indirect shortcuts have been used,rama hanuman etc,to get to gloss over the fundamental discrepancies in this religion.
getting agitated over the islamic clerics is useless.it should be used as a challenge to remove the failings and flaws and broadbase the vedic religion.pretending to be the majority and trying to make an entry into politics on the basis of hate propaganda will be the best ways to fool themselves.
the people will continue to be themselves,a millennia of islamic and christian control made no dent on their ways except those who might have been genuinely needing to escape the frustration of being locked by the vedic religion and its hold over the ruling class.when the rulers were from outside,it might have also been a revenge against the ruler who was too much under the thrall of the vedic religion.
the regular arguments that islamic countries do not give space to minorities has no meaning for us and our culture.the islamic countries needed their religion and are only acting according to it.
we did not need organised religion.as we were not buffetted between other peoples and other religions.we lived our way in harmony.
it can surely be envisioned that islam and christianity will always find ways to weed out minorities and their ways.
we have no such compunctions.
since the muslims and christians are viewed to be minorities in our land,we have to ensure that there is no discrimination or shortage of opportunities.

rss and k.s sudarshan

this group is actively involved in spreading the falsehood that Indians were enslaved.
these are the people who have been attributing cowardice to the Indian people and distorting reality.
this group s strategy is to make the hindus feel ashamed for the rule of the muslim dynasties.
they try to paint the picture of the Indian kingdoms not fighting back.
this method leads the people into a false kind of thinking which has no basis in reality.
the rss should apologise to the people for spreading the calumny that the Indians were enslaved.
The Indian people can be extremely violent when provoked and can be extremely reasonable in other times.
this sophistication of the people who have enjoyed civilised existences in organised societies is sought to be depicted as a weakness.
the strength of the people is made out to be as the weakness.
the people were always eager to receive newer developments in religion and were inspired by any new religion.
the people were not intellectual dummies who were frozen in one type of religion.
they were awakened by every fresh input and every fresh whiff of religion.
they did not consider themselves as belonging to the order of hinduism.
religion was any method which was devised by the people.
the rulers had to provide good governance,if they failed,the governments would crumble and newer ones were formed.
a strong government with a reasonable and a wise ruler would have continued for a number of decades.
the people were least bothered whether the ruler belonged to this religion or that.
the rulers in their battles and wars needed religion to gain the upper hand in their martial campaigns.
the religion and the god of a ruler was used to instill fear and awe in the opposition.
once the other side received a thinking and a religion which gave it a sense of purpose and a self confidence,it began fighting with new vigour.
it now had the tool to negate the influence of the opposition due to its gods.
a few rulers tried to impose taxes on the hindus to prod the people towards religions which they practiced whereas others would have used more violent methods to suppress religions which had gained strength from the patronage of the earlier ruler.
all talk of enslavement and defeat are the utterings of idiots.
http://www.dawn.net/wps/wcm/connect/Dawn%20Content%20Library/dawn/news/world/rss-chief-says-india-should-be-ready-for-nuclear-war--qs
an apology from these idiots would not be worth anything as they are known to be idiots.
the so called hinduism should shed the company of such idiots who are damaging the name of hinduism by attributing defeat and enslavement to hinduism.

tiruvannamalai

a value addition was in view during the karthigai deepam ceremony,a priest was taken out ,sitting with a deity,wearing an alien looking crown.
it looked like an anointment and was out of place and worse.
it could be a tradition but it certainly did not fit in with the ambience and the devotion.
it looked like a statement was being made.

from a general viewpoint,one of the commentators on podhigai tv sounded a defensive note that these are our traditions and they should not be questioned.

earlier,during the soora samhaaram in tiruchendur,a naamam was placed in a prominent position in the rituals.

some agendas are being peddled by groups and individuals who can also be seen espousing the bjp.
are these double agents or just people with insecurities regarding vaishnavisms footing.

proud people

why should a people be proud of themselves?
it could be on account of their industriousness,their accomplishments,their endeavours and their courage.
pride should not come by a creation of a superiority which necessitates the accompanying creation of an inferiority.
pride should not come from a religion which has been fashioned which instills awe in others who have not fashioned or felt the need to fashion religions.
a great religion will not be bragged about but will try to reduce any grandeur that creeps in.
a god which has been created should be shared with everybody and cannot be kept restricted to the people with access.
if it is a form given by a great ingenuousness,what is the word that can be used to describe the act of keeping it restricted to others.
there could be the fear that others will benefit and hence should be denied access.
demanding that a documentation of the act of creating the place of worship should be done is different from denying the occasion to everyone to get the chance to offer worship.
if this is one kind of self preservation,the other kind is forcing all and sundry to convert to ones form of worship.
this is a bigger kind of self preservation as it is motivated by the lack of confidence about the greatness of ones religion.
the earlier kind of denial of religion to everyone and an assumption and an imagination of a superiority will bring up the latter kind.
the second kind might even be a response of nature in which the first self preservation descended into haughtiness and arrogance.
where there is no arrogance,there would not be any reason or scope for distrust.
no religion can allow itself to justify an attack or a subjugation of others by portraying them as inferior as they do not have possession of the said religion.
this kind of justification might have been used in older times to get a necessary moral sanction to indulge in warfare or other acts of vandalisation.

we ve got religion now and hence we will hit you because you accused us of not having religion.
this response was perpetrated by the pride, arrogance and haughtiness of the possessors of religion.
having a religion is not equivalent to having a god.
everyone has a god.
having a religion is due to the advancement of a society in its material pursuits which has necessitated a quelling of the doubts which have surfaced in the process.
the keen ness to hang on to the acquired materials and positions ends up creating a religion which justifies an exalted nature and giving rise to future problems.
a religion has to be simple and open to everybody if it is to survive and serve the purpose of widening the horizons of the mind of the people.
if the purpose was something else,the results will not be serving those other purposes.

Chandragupta II

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gupta_Empire#Chandra_Gupta_II
he undertook invasions into present day Iran and surrounding territories to subdue the tribes existing there who were labelled barbarians.
the followers of the sangh parivar who are labouring under the illusion that the hindus are cowards and that they have to summon courage under the unique leadership of the RSS might be astonished at this information and scratch their heads in disbelief.
"this is impossible,we were taught that the hindus are cowards,gautier also told us something else."

what these events suggest is that when a religion attains a newer and higher stage of development,the rulers and the martial classes are given the convictions to undertake military campaigns against the people who are not a part of their evolved religion.
the same campaign by chandragupta II would have been repeated in the reverse direction by the peoples of the middle east after they received islam,with the indians being the ones labelled as barbarians.

Kushan Empire

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushan_Empire

what do we make of these borders and boundaries?
Do the people who come inside this empire constitute a nationality,
Does the religion of this empire need to fight back and retain its supremacy of that period?
when do we draw the cutoff from which some of us are US and others are THEM?

egypt

there are personalities from ancient times whose achievements still stand.
the vaishnavite stories are grand but there is nothing on the ground to sustain them.
the jews and the vaishnavites seem to have watched great civilisations from the sidelines and yet remained separate in wanting to retain their identities.
the martial civilisations would have overrun them which resulted in creating grand stories to retain their flock and identity.
the desire to proclaim a special descent probably arose from these encounters with the great civilisations.

biggest joke on earth.

is when the supporters of the bjp feel and act threatened by the christian and muslim groups inspite of being the brute majority in all walks of life.
the hutus were atleast ruled by the tutsis and they managed to convince themselves that they had to become insane and inhuman to alter it.
here,every aspect of life is controlled by the majority yet there is supposed to be massive insecurity at the christians conversions and the muslim's agitationist stance on issues related to islam.
who is having the insecurities is what needs to be looked at,does a bjp supporter turn insecure or does an insecure person turn to the bjp.
if there is no media overplay and if there is no call made for resignations,the situation is not absolutely drastic.
the situation needs to be tightened and there will be a gradual tightening which will deprive the terrorists of their abilities.
the srikrishna commission report has to be implemented.
the so called hindus should start realising that if there is any insecurity,it requires an inward look and would result in taking the religion to the masses.
it will turn out that there is no hinduism.
saivism,vaishnavism and possibly a few others might be arrived at.
if there is an expectation that all of these should be linked together,that should be done by an intellectual exercise involving all the people.
do the religious leaders fear such a landing in the spotlight?
what will finally become visible is that vaishnavism and brahminism is actively participating in attempts to convert the majority of the people to its fold,just what some of the christian missionaries are doing.

rosh hashanah

the jewish new year is on monday night,on this holy day israel must start to think about initiating expressions of apology and gratitude to the palestinian people.
an apology for committing the crime of dispossessing the palestinian people from their homes,
and an expression of gratitude beforehand for the palestinian people to accept the reality of israel due to the trials and tribulations faced by the people of israel.
the month of ramzan ends on wednesday which would give a chance to all the countries of the middleeast to contribute from their oil wealth to the cause of world peace,by compensating the palestinian people for bearing the burden of the vicissitudes of the jews.
thursday is the birthday of gandhiji,the apostle of peace.
this week with all of these religious days of significance is also going to witness the sri lankan army attempting an assault on killinochi,the capital of the liberation tigers of tamil eelam.
there was a suicide blast in vavuniya today which clearly points to the divide that exists in sri lanka.instead of reaching out to the ltte in a manner which will enable a peaceful resolution,the govt has decided to use its newfound friends and their commitments to try to crush the ltte.
the lack of support for any innovative approaches from the srilankan society has contributed to this latest attempt to blaze away to a victory.

Indian mujahideen

Has allah created the people that you are killing by your bombs or not?


Al qaeda carried out attacks against america which supposedly had a linkage to the unresolved matter of israel and palestine.
The lashkar e toiba orchestrates attacks in our country as it is losing its foothold in jammu and kashmir and it is linked to the intelligence outfits of pakistan;our government will handle it as it sees fit.



If there are problems which are faced by a community,it should make efforts to work around them.

Has the constitution been rewritten.What are your motives?

Is anyone obstructing you from practicing your religion.

If the answer is no,then are you desperately planning for such a situation to come into existence.

Is that how you propagate your religion to the world,by bringing obstacles into the practice of islam by the devout.

Should nt you be aspiring to spread the word of islam to the people rather than bringing dismay and insecurity to those who follow islam.

SIMI

There have been various instances where groups have rallied around their identities to assert or to protect it.
A logical corollary would be the idea to create an exclusive territory or homeland.
Some organisations use fiery speeches to rally their people to this exclucivist ideology.
It is a natural desire among people to desire an ideal situation of purity for their language,culture,tradition or religion especially when faced with a prospect of a ceding of their space to others.
When there is an impression that other cultures etc are involved in planned attempts to retain their separateness and promote it,the automatic development is for all other identities to start organising themselves.
It is a small distance for this thinking to reach a situation where militant references from history are used to further the cause.
These are complex issues which have to be dealt with patience and wisdom.
The SIMI might have organised meetings where speeches calling for an islamic revolution would have been made.A public meeting needs fiery speeches to get applause and a rallying of the numbers.
The SIMI would have hardened their campaign in the aftermath of the babri mosque demolition.
The intelligence apparatus would have been in the know of these speeches which must have necessitated a show cause notice to the concerned organisations.
These kinds of incendiary campaigns would have been witnessed all around the spectrum.
Instead of adopting a dialogue with the concerned organisation,the SIMI was banned by lk advani,who is himself from an organisation dealing in such language.More importantly,the RSS had been involved in direct action to further its campaign.

The Congress could never have overturned the ban as it would have been portrayed as pandering to the minority.
The organisation was driven underground and pushed towards adopting criminal means,which has been cited now as evidence that the original ban has been vindicated.
Faced with this lose-lose situation,the minorities have to adopt different strategies which will result in a win-win situation in the long run.
The RSS and its allied organisations have only themselves to blame for not allowing the establishment to reach out to them by their violent and criminal acts right from the assasination of gandhiji.
They are now engaged in getting the hindus to feel inferior and insecure to rally them,these acts are going to be highly detrimental and damaging to the so called hinduism in the long run.
Already,they have sucessfully reignited the aryan dravidian divide by raising the ram sethu issue.
The RSS and related organisations are all that are needed for the so called hinduism to lose its cohesion.
A few upper castes and other misled parts of the so called hinduism are enacting their last great folly to retain a past prime position in the hierarchy.
There is no attempt to admit to the mistakes of the past and a genuine debate about the central tenets of the so called hinduism.
It is all about social engineering and re engineering through religious persuasion.

where there is a tilt,there is a terrorist

The people in power should be totally neutral in their dealings with the population.

If the rulers are disposed towards a section or sections,reactions are created.

The reactions can erupt immediately or over a long time.

The tilt towards some section and any concomitant negative treatment towards other sections could be due to a desire to redress some perceived or real imbalance.

The VHP can be assumed to consist of three section of hindus,
one wanting to strengthen hinduism as a result of a deep conviction that it is
the best way for humanity,after having undertaken a thorough study.
one which is not at ease with the spread of islam and christianity,as it is
unable to view the upliftment and the assertions of previously stymied classes
with an open mind.
and another which harbours hatred for islam and christianity,either as a result
of clashing of economic interests or due to a feeling of animosity arising from
history.

if the first section actually exists within the VHP,it would have its hands full
in reaching out to the vast population that has been classified as hindu.It would have been at the scene of crimes against the dalits in maharashtra and haryana in the recent past and in Tamilnadu where episodes of dispute between castes have occurred;it was the communist parties who intervened in tamilnadu.
The second section could consist of people who want a preservation of the status
quo in the social order .This section would have been uncomfortable with the
dynamics of the social upliftment of the stymied classes.
The youth who are to be spotted online denigrating islam and advocating hatred
could belong to the second or the third sections.
The BJP is a party which is related to the groups such as the VHP and the bajrang
dal.
The BJP,when it was in power banned the SIMI,the ideological equivalent of the
VHP and the Bajrang dal.An imbalance is created when the proponents of one religion have a link with the government,which bans a group which advocates a minority religion.
One of the roots of the present climate in the country could be traced to the
banning of the SIMI by the BJP.
Salman Khurshid said on TIMES NOW that it was the record of the Gujarat police in
fake encounters which raises doubts in the minds of the muslims.
The SIMI might consist of some people who would like to turn India into an
islamic country.Similarly,the bajrang dal and the VHP might consist of a section
which would want India to be declared a hindu country.
When the government is seen as being related to either of these groups,a chain of
reactions occur which have culminated in the events of our country in the recent
months.
The Home minister who banned the SIMI was a person who led mobs to demolish a
mosque.The followers of the bjp should place themselves in the shoes of the minority and
introspect about the ramifications of the actions of advani and others.

murder of innocents

a mob attacks a group of karsevaks which results in the deaths of 59.

the mob is made up of criminals who have broken the laws.

the next day,bigger mobs assemble at different places away from the scene of the original crime and kill innocents who have no connection with the first attack.

the same events are being repeated in orissa today.

one group attacks and kills in one event at one location.

in the name of reprisal,people totally unconnected with the original incident are attacked and killed somewhere else.

a feeling of insecurity is what is behind these attacks,which does not allow the groups involved to look at the original events as the crimes they are.

everybody has the right to propagate their religion,if there exists a doubt that illegal means are beiing used,the proper way forward is to file a complaint with the police who will investigate and book the offenders.

if the area of contention is out of the reach of law,violent clashes can be expected.

why do innocents have to be targeted who are doing the propagation within the law.

a big issue is made up that conversions are taking place.

there is nobody who is stopping the hindutva groups from doing their own propagation.

Religions for Rallying

A religion is a method which helps man to live a civilised life.Some religions have been evolved by man himself through the years while others have been established and formulated by a single persons thinking.
Christianity and Islam are believed to have been set forth by a son and a
messenger of god respectively.Christianity emerged in an urban and a highly militaristic society which would have been in need of a counter to the authoritarianism of the government.
Islam was founded in a nomadic environment and possibly provides a rigid code
covering various aspects of life whereas christianity bases itself on the
kindness of jesus christ.
People are free to follow whichever method.
A muslim can possibly follow christianity if he is living in a predominantly christian society and vice versa.
In the middle ages,various rulers favoured one or the other religion which
resulted in religion becoming one of the motivations for war.
In the present day also,religion is a camouflage for starting wars.
The communist rulers in the seventies in afghanistan would not have cracked down
on the religion followed by the people.The british while ruling over much of the world could not have made it a policy to obliterate religions other than christianity.

The problem began in iran when the shah was influenced by western culture which
led to the islamic revolution.Religion also became a rallying point in the fight for economic freedom.
Israel is at the centre of all of the islamic upheaval in the middle east.

If people all over the world are convinced about the divine connection of their
respective religions,could it not be possible for them to accept that god would
have sent different messengers to different areas of the world at different
times.
Those people who are not convinced about the divine connection of their religions
could be the ones who feel the need to propagate their religion aggressively.Why do some people have to promote and proselytize their method to others?
Why do others invoke their method to justify their wars and fights which are actually fought for domination and freedom?
osama can say that he is fighting to defeat american imperialism and american
support for israel.
America needed to fight in vietnam and afghanistan to check the soviet buildup,it should have avoided portraying its fight as against a godless communism.

The LTTE is one organisation which has not mixed its religion in its fight,not
portraying the lankans as infidels or anything of that sort.

people all over the world do not seem to be getting all the answers from their
particular religions and these doubts seem to be leading them into a violent
confrontation with the followers of other religions.There is possibly a fear that their particular religion will not be able to withstand the influence of other religions.
If religion is taken out of the equation,conflict resolution will become easy.

The Israelis can be seen as a ruthless group of encroachers .
The dispute between India and Pakistan is over territory and not over religion.

The present crisis in the gulf was conveniently portrayed as a clash of civilisations while WWII with 55 million deaths was not seen to be about religion even though buddhism and communism were involved.
