Three DJs I like

Hi Sunjoy as I have noticed you always profess about newer bands and almost apprise to reject the old classic n most famous bands(Exception being Morrissey n The Greatful Dead),I suggest that you should check out “Modest Mouse”,an indie band as you are most fond of,they are not new but they not well-known either.I am not fully aware that you ever suggested this band earlier,though I am a regular reader of your column.I caught hold of this band when I heard late Heath Ledger has directed one video of this band’s Latest Album “No One’s First and You’re Next”,song is King Rat. Video is a good animated surprise,but whats even nicer is the actual song.After that I downloaded their earlier work from 2004,an album named “Good News For The People Who Love Bad News”,and guess what,this album is even better than their latest one.
You should check out this band and apologies if you have earlier suggested this band.
Enjoy your music…

It proves how much he hates the Muslims. Even the RSS and the BJP might not be having such a strong feeling against the Muslims as Modi has. When he cannot love his own mother, wife and brothers how one can expect from him to love Muslims of a different community as he is so communal from his inner belief and thought. Very soon he too will go in the same way as how yadiyurappa got from the above organizations. The moment he becomes a liability to them they will disown him and he will be no whare. That day is fast approaching. The 2002 Gujarat Riots and his role in it against a particular community speaks volumes in support of it. Let one wait for that moment.

i would first like a muslim mla, mp or minister wearing tilak or accepting a prasad…..ha……talking about secularism……..it is applicable to muslims too…..why don’t u write how the iuml external affairs minister mr ahmed refused to light a lamp during his stint as railway ministry………u r acting dumb…..

[Reply]

What about simple hindu gifts of Prasad and Tilak to Bukhari, Saudi King and other muslim leaders?

[Reply]

They unnerve Modi, because they are not simple gifts

[Reply]

And keep making inflamatory speeches, which in turn signal his followers to attack minorities, particularly Muslims in Gujarat.

[Reply]

Modi can be rightly worried that the gifts are somehow carrying a payload of terror – maybe Arsenic or something else. Why take a chance? How many Muslims would cheer on if Modi is killed? How many Muslims have actually done this sort of a thing?

[Reply]

I am unable to understand as why Mr. Haq has brought BJP in his blog. If he has a complaint concerning Mr. Modi, he could ask him straight away. Bringing BJP in is in no Cultured..

[Reply]

ALLTHOSE WHO WEAR THOSE HEAD GEAR OR CARRY THOSE SCARFS LIKE LALU OR PASWANAND DIGGI ,CAN THEY BE CALLED MUSLIM LOVERS?
THESE THINGS ARE NOT IMPORTANT ACCEPT FOR OUR PAID MEDIA.
THE IMPORTANT IS TO ADMINISTER WITHOUT BIASES.
MMSINGH SAYS MINORITIES ( MUSLIMS) HAVE FIRST RIGHT TO NATIONAL ASSETS. IS HE MAJORITY HATER?
CONGRESS MAKE ALL EFFORTS TO SHOW THAT THEY BELIEVE IN APPEASEMENT OF MUSLIMS.
HAS THIS HELPED?
CONGRESS TILL DATE COULDNOT PRODUCE AN HONEST ADMINISTRATOR EXCEPT SHASTRI JI.
BY DISCARDING SHAH BANU JUDGEMENT WHAT DID CONGRESS UNDER RAJIV PROVED.
DOES IT PROVE CONGRESS IS WELL WISHER OF MUSLIMS?
I REQUEST ZIA HAQ TO PLEASE ANSWER.

The premise of this article is ridiculous. Why would a nonmuslim indian accept an Arab religious skull cap? If Muslims follow some Indian customs there is a logic behind it since Indian Muslims are Indian and most of them are of Indian stock. The same doesn’t hold the other way around. The skull cap is a symbol of an Arab religion. No nonmuslim would wear it. Zia as usual “forgot” to mention some inconvenient facts. The fact that Modi did accept a shawl from the same person who offered him a skull cap. So it’s not the the religion of the person in question but the religious symbolism of the gift being offered which resulted in it’s rejection. If you want to attack Modi, there are many factual ways to do it. Attack him for not doing enough to stop the violence against Muslims during the godhra riots. But this is a silly and frivolous attack not based on substance. It’s much like most articles which Zia has been writing. No substance but I still like to read the responses. They are more interesting than the article.

[Reply]

Offering a ganapati to an Indian Muslim is ok. An Indian Muslim is Indian and so is the ganapati. But a skull cap is a Arab religious symbol. We can bow to a Indian Muslim but not to Arab symbolism.

[Reply]

Good points. Arabization has taken a severe toll on some sections of indian Muslims turning them into foreigners in their own land. This is going to have unfortunate ugly consequences in the long run. People like Zia seem to be encouraging this process of alienating Indian Muslims from India and Indian culture.

[Reply]

I have heard similar stories especially from people in the gulf countries. They even offer promotions if you are willing to convert and join their Arab club. It’s sickening how these people treat a spiritual thing like religion. But this sort of unhealthy attitude is common among abrahamic religions. All from the same gutter.

[Reply]

from when does “SKULL cap” became “milk of human kindness” ??

[Reply]

In the same way, should Modi accept an Arab skull cap if it’s nicely given? Respect is a two way street. Hypocrite.

[Reply]

I just noticed that people from a certain community as Mr.Kutty who should be giving an answer to you have avoided this post. That tells a lot about what’s happening in some parts of that community.

[Reply]

You will be happy if he did.

[Reply]

What next from Zia? Will it be something on these lines

“Sonia Gandhi is not wearing a full body niqab when talking to Muslim ministers. That’s showing disrespect to Islam and proves that she hates Muslims”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. I think our educational institutions have utterly failed when they have produced Indians like Zia trying to throw mud at people using the shield of religion. Did he go to some institution where their values are not aligned with mainstream Indian thoughts? Or did he become like this later in life? Pakistan is bearing the brunt of the failure of their educational system which taught fanatical hatred and made up history. We have to learn lessons from their failure.

[Reply]

Modi didnt accept skull cap and it is his choice, Nothing wrong with that. And that funny guy who presented cap to him, no one came forward for modi and so this cartoon guy was called.
And may be this whole thing is triggered by modi. Neta’s will do anything for vote.
Moon, if mutton biryani is prepared with so much hard work, will Mr. pandey or tripathi or pathak will accept it? And if there are meat dishes in pot luck, it is choice to be made, some people will have meat some would not, why such a hue and cry. And muslims are much modest than brahmins and jains and their diet is too strict. Every body bring something for potluck so if a muslim guy don’t have one or two dishes, what is wrong with that. There is a dish you dont like and you dont eat it. simple as that. My bro always likes seafood but never go near river fish, we never complain.

[Reply]

This is called tolerance. That publicity hungry fool gave cap and modi chose not to wear it which was his decision. Everyone has a right to make one but so called secular media made it such a big issue. Why hindu should wear muslim cap. And Muslims got dragged in this mess when they had nothing to with it. it was pure politics.

At least modi is true with his principles.

[Reply]

may be. so may be in past they were denied rights of being human so they converted. It is universal truth why Mr. Babasaheb Ambedkar converted to Buddhism and he and his followers vowed to never accept hindu gods as their deities.

Everybody knows what was Brahman and others behavior with dalits and low caste. so they converted to other religions who gave them honor, where they were not identified by their birth but by their deeds.

[Reply]

Tell me moon in your pot luck do brahmans have meat? then why you separate muslims.
If you cook onion pakoda with hard work will jain brothers have it in pot luck? Brahman does not eat meat and muslim does not eat non halal meat. simple as that.

When in our group even if there is one veggie we dont order anything nonveg, when we want to smoke we ask nearby people if we could? these are simple manners. Tolerance is the key for harmony.

[Reply]

Mr. Shallabh for your kind info, In our maharashtra 2nd ganapati among ashtvinayka, chintamani of theur, I know many muslims who go to that temple. Lalbagcha raja ganapati, bohra used to ask favors from this ganapati. Muslims and hindus celebrate ganapati festival. I know a prominent ganapti mandal whose president was muslim and he was so popular among them that he was president till his death.

Here are some other facts.

1. For thousands of years in the Hindu Society Education was only available to Brahmins. However, some notable exceptions exist, but by and large this is true.

2. Aryans are aliens to the Indian sub-continent where they have for 3 millennia or more, marginalised the indigenous tribes and other sections of the population. So much so that the History of Northern India is synonymous with the History of Aryans.

3. Access to education and other such privileges are still very much governed by one’s caste. Lower the caste more difficult it is for an individual to gain access to education. Significant improvement has taken place over the last 200 years or so mainly due to the policies of the Brits, and none of it due to any change of heart among the conservative Hindu society.

4. The function of reservations is to address inherent in-equalities that exist in our society. We have reservations for a whole variety of criteria. There are reservations to address in-equalities due to religious disadvantages, regional disadvantages, even for children whose fathers served in the forces, etc etc.

5. Opposition to reservation is almost always led by middle class, Hindu upper castes because the change in status quo hurts them the most.

6. To maintain caste based hierarchies of privileges is the main agenda of Hinduatva. It wants to re-establish the rigid caste system and denigrate minorities to a permanent second class citizenship.

7. Whilst I believe the current reservation system can be improved upon, even over-hauled, it remains necessary to create even tiny semblance of equality in our society.

[Reply]

Reservation coupled with Minority Protection Bill is the volatile combination for experimentation on India as merit is relegated to the back seat. It is designed to push it through its transient phase fof tectonic shift.

After successful implementation of above civilised world can say good buy to India as it will expedite its fall to meet the eventuality, matching Mayan civilisation.

[Reply]

Muslims never ruled 800 yrs, they ruled parts of India, on an average half of this India for about 500 yrs. Do you say whole muslims have to suffer for the misdeeds of one Syed A Khan? Anyway, if India is a secular and democratic nation run under the present constitution, it has to adopt affirmative action. Otherwise, how would you remove the present systematic social oppresion, suppresion or discrimination? Are you happy with the present morally corrupt society? How would India aspire to become superpower keeping 1/5th of population slave? Under Muslim rule, hindus (brahmins) fluorished, but those who were half hindu (lower class) embraced islam for social dignity. But as the power remained with brahmins, these new muslims were kept oppressed till today.

[Reply]

About eighty percent of this article justifies reservations for the former rulers of Islamic India and about ten percent of it says that the former Islamic rulers of India should not take the reservation. About ten percent of it is about bashing the people of India who did not succumb to arabization. Something tells me that Zia would have turned out to be a better person if he had stuck to his childhood principle that he wouldn’t read the Koran because it did not have any colorful pictures. He says

“There is, in our Constitution, a clear promise for reservations on the basis of “backwardness”.”

Backwardness of mind can’t be cured by reservation nor can it be used to extort undeserved special benefits to a particular religious community who were the former rulers of India. If “material backwardness” is the criteria for reservation, then I am all for it. Then we don’t need a religious or caste based reservation. I would have had more respect for Zia if he had made that case since that would cover all materially backward people including Muslims without injecting religious poison into reservation just like Zia is trying to do here but to who’s benefit I wonder….

[Reply]

Very good points but I suspect that it would fall on deaf ears or at least on people who are acting deaf.

[Reply]

There should be no reservations for anyone… rules should be the same for everyone, the over glorified, yuppie youth of today are too dazed with gizmos and fast cars to form an opinion leave alone cast their vote, there is a urgent need to change the demographics of political parties being, run by a consortium of landgrabbers, criminals, the scum of the universe, all fundamentalist parties based on religion creed or caste need to be banned or else well all have to immigrate to other places..!

[Reply]

If all Indians really considered each other as co-citizens and the other as precious as oneself, there will be no injustice in society – and one justice is established in the society, all progress and development would follow in due course. Why should a single Indian be discriminated against on any pretext and why is there so much violence and aggressiveness in our society?

[Reply]

Really? Did you cry when Osama died? My condolences. Osama is now fish food. so why call yourself “liberal Hindu” ravi when you cry over the death of an Islamist? Is deceit allowed in Islam especially when it’s practiced against the kufirs?

So your pea brain has pea sized memory too? You claimed that RSS did not believe in Aryan theory. They do. Just like you. Two of a kind. A anti Hindu indian nutter and a power hungry nutter both embrace each other. Now you can run around trees, dance and sing a song.

The hallmark of muslim societies all over the world especially in non-muslim country is that they depend on Khairaat and always play victim card.
The commonality between muslims living in non-muslim countries-
1. Khairaat dependent.
2. a sense of vicitimhood
3. Cry baby
4. hatred for host country
5. Immense love for fascist muslim countries.
6. No repect for non-muslims’
7. Demand total respect for Islam
8. use of violence
9. propaganda against jews
10. Spread lies like ‘Islam is religion of peace’ (actualy they mean ‘religion of piece’ as they always want to divide host country).
11. Demand secularism when it suits them and demand Sharia where they are in majority.

Islam replaced priests with mullahs who are infinitely worser than any Hindu priest. Hindu priests never go after political power like the mullahs do. Regarding control over knowledge, the Arabs through Islam, invasion and occupation have claimed the inventions and discoveries of other societies as their own and called it”Islamic inventions”. Unfortunately the arabized in non Arab societies have become a tool for this kind of disgusting intellectual theft.

Talking about article of faith, cultism is an article of faith in Arab Islam. That’s the reason why Islam teaches you to see the world in two. One is a Muslim and the other is a kafir. Your forefathers Hinduism doesn’t teach you think in that bigoted way. You seem to have conveniently forgotten the murders, robbery, rape and slave owning commited by the “messenger of god” and his band of thugs. Arab society had some merit before islam. After mohamad and his islam, its all moral darkness for them. I can understand that you have to justify arabization and the Arab cult because not doing so would negate the whole life you have led so far. In Islam, there is no way out. Once you are in, you are in even if you want to leave. I pity your state.

[Reply]

By the way, would you prefer living as a Hindu in a Islamist cesspool like Pakistan? Maybe in your worst nightmare. Unfortunately in most Islamic society, bigotry is a way of life. Islam plays a part in this bigotry since the bigotry is justified by these islamist bigots by quoting from Mohamads Koran. It’s obviously not a very nice book if bigots of all stripes find a lot of stuff in there to justify their actions.

“I fail to understand why, if reservation is good for Dalits, is it bad for Muslims”

Who can argue with that? Is that your “winning” argument?

I also failed to understand why, if reservation is good for Muslims, is it bad for all nonmuslims. After all, a significant section of people from the muslim religious group divided the country on religious lines in 1947 resulting in that Islamist cesspool we now call Pakistan which has become a headache not only for India but for the whole world.

That’s my winning argument.
