History of Imperialists Bigotry – Christianity, Islam and Pagan religions
More often than not, otherwise reasonable commentary by Muslim scholars is concluded with incendiary comments; a recent example is about women’s status in ancient lands. Such comments, in my opinion, in addition to bigotry are based on ignorance of ancient cultures (see references) or may be a result of using imperialist revisionist history. What would it take for such scholars to show mutual respect to ancient faiths and their social, cultural and political values? By today’s social/cultural values and morality in constitutional progressive democracies all citizens of both genders are constitutionally respected for their faith and accorded equality and certain basic human rights. Those who marry underage brides are considered pedophiles. It wasn’t so centuries ago in autocratic societies. Muslims acknowledge that Prophet Mohammed, following tribal customs of 6th and 7th … Read entire article »

Binayak Sen – Connecting the dots
Fans of Dr. Binayak Sen, a Maoist sympathizer, convicted with life imprisonment for charges of sedition and anti-national activities, by trial court and whose initial bail appeal was rejected by Chhattisgarh high court, have ample reasons for jubilation in recent times. Not only did the Supreme Court grant him a bail but he was also appointed to the National Health Planning Commission’s steering committee. It is no secret that Dr Sen enjoys a huge popularity and has a long list of national and international supporters, including Nobel laureates like Amartya Sen, other prominent Indians including leftist academician Romila Thapar, Christian leader John Dayal, ill-famed activists Teesta Setalvad, self proclaimed Swami Agnivesh and Suzanna Arundhati Roy, a seditionist and a pro-Maoist herself. Statements of support for him had come from Amnesty International, The … Read entire article »

All Free Nations Must Mandate Inquiry into Intolerant Faiths!
Editor’s note: On March 10, 2011 US Representative Peter King opened Congressional hearings about radicalization in the Muslim American community. The New York congressman says the threat of homegrown terrorism is on the rise and American Muslims aren’t doing enough to stop it. Author of this blog tries to explore – Why Governmental inquisitions on Islam must be an imperative for every democracy. ————— Please allow me to preface this article by stating that what I write here is not just an opinion based on other secondary opinions, but based on my direct experience with Muslims during my life in India, the U.S. and visits to Africa. In the course of the last decade, I have been subjected to their reductionism, that Muslims have been known for, towards non-Muslims, by seemingly the … Read entire article »

Media and Propaganda in the Battle Against Religious Atrocities
Hindus must resort to contemporary media and technology to spread their message Yesterday I received an email from a respondent and in that email he brought up a very important issue: the use of Grass-Root-Efforts to create awareness amongst Hindus of the challenges we face from these western marauding faiths. We always start out with good intentions, but somewhere along the way these good intentions are obfuscated by delays and unreliable results. Grass-Roots-Efforts is a concept that had been relied upon as a means to generate awareness about issues that afflict mankind. Here is a brief explication of this concept. For the ease of use I will use the word “Grassroots” only. Grassroots intrinsically is vociferously against central leadership, it engenders an incomparable amount of loyalty and self-sacrifice, and has the potential … Read entire article »

Conversion, Corruption, Congress and bloody Indians
Recently, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured a Christian delegation that he was trying to evolve a consensus on granting Scheduled Caste status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims. This is interesting since just a few days ago; the Gujarat High Court has rejected a plea filed by a converted Christian seeking access to benefits extended to him earlier as a Scheduled Caste Hindu. In addition the Prime Minister reportedly promised “to act on the Saldanha report on violence against minorities in Karnataka”. This is in reference to the independent inquiry report of Michael Saldanha, of The Catholic-Christian Secular Forum (Catholic but Secular? Hmm!), a retired judge of the Bombay and Karnataka High Courts, (and just happen to be the President of the Catholic Association of South Kanara or Dakshina Kannada, the place where violent incidents had … Read entire article »

The Precept of Ahimsa is Harmful for the Hindus
Only the strength of solidarity and force, and the conviction to use it, can sustain Hinduism Just like Saudi Arabia and Italy are the places for Muslims and Catholics, India is the place of Hindus. That is where the similarity ends. The prior two countries do not sport fifteen percent of their population, with alien religions, not even two percent. India on the other hand has a Muslim population that is bigger than that of Pakistan, who are in solidarity with Islam and Pakistan, and not Hindustan, where they live. This is an insurmountable conundrum, and the Muslim time bomb is counting down for an explosion, which is an unequivocal geometric certainty. Despite all of the spiritual wisdom of ages, oozing from the Puranic and the Vedic precepts, the reality is … Read entire article »

Why are The Hindus Addicted to their Abusers?
Foreign rule of India continues into the twenty-first century In the fields of Psychiatry and Psychology, addictive and co-dependent relationships have been conjectured upon, debated with published white papers, researched with seemingly definitive conclusions that explicate the convoluted relationship between the abused and the abuser. Somewhere in the vast domain of these professions, resides the clinical answer to my query. Why does the fatal relationship of Hinduism with its various alien abusers continue even today? As much as it is a rhetorical question, this is more a pithy inquiry, not a prolix meandering into the histology of this phenomenon. There could be many explanations available as opinions from varied sources, and they could all have clinical overtones. But, the source of the answer I am looking for is not in the … Read entire article »
