Ayodhya: Advani’s harvest



This past week, we had a chance to hear two political leaders, both of who could potentially be heads of government, speak on the Babri issue. To me, one sounded quite dumb, the other smart. Going by the noises they made, one appeared to be looking backwards, the other forward-looking.

Returning to Somnath, the place he set off from on his Ram temple juggernaut, BJP leader L.K. Advani summed his priorities: a befitting temple at the site where the disputed Babri Masjid stood.

On the other hand, Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, talking to a gathering of IIT students in Guwahati, said education and jobs were far more important issues than a temple or a mosque.

It’s not so much the positive note struck by Gandhi that was the highpoint for me. What saddens me is the stubbornness with which BJP leader Advani remains caught up in the past. He increasingly looks to me a man who isn’t being honest to himself.

It is with despondency that one views leaders, such as Advani, fritter away their political expertise this way, as India undergoes a generational change in both its politics and society.

Younger politicians, such as Gandhi, are making much smarter, albeit predictable, points. The symbolism of Advani’s ill-timed Somnath trip, with former lieutenant Uma Bharti in tow, is lost on no one.

In his slow ride into the sunset, those whom BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani has endeared on the way will find the last chapters of a tragedy written years ago: Advani’s rise at the expense of all he stood for. This is what I had written in an earlier post.

He was a ‘good man fallen’ among saffronites, I had said. We have actually progressed since then. Advani is now a good man fallen among the politically retarded. The likes of Uma Bharti.

    Advani’s rath yatra and all that followed in its wake may have brought the BJP to power in Maharashtra and then at the Centre but there was nothing religious or noble about that enterprise. He lacks even the grace to accept that his innings is well and truly over.

    Over the years, based on my conversation with educated Muslims, I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing like Secular muslim or moderate muslim. All the same under the skin, hardcore mullah.

    It is no strange to read your prejudice for a man who are hated by muslims all over the world, becoz he talks about hindu cause.

    For a non-hindu like Rahul Ganhi, it is very simple to brush aside the Ram Temple as a non-priority becoz it is neither going to bring him votes nor any brownie point among the chiristians.

    We are seeing the development work being done by UPA all over the country and CWG venue is one of the hottest example.

    The TitleShould have been :”AYODHYA : “ADVANI’S WATERLOO!”
    A score of years ago Advani launched his Rath Yatra from Somnath Temple in Gujarat to Ayodhya in UP to whip up emotional frenzy among the reactionary Hindus to seize Babri Masjid and build instead Ramjanmabhoomi Temple!That day he was a great hero of Hindutva!Within two years and two monthsthat structure was razed to the ground and amake-shift temple was created on 6th December, 1992!
    He claims that the rath yatra changed the political course of the country and the future of the BJP!BJP could get just two seas in the Lok Sabha in 1984 elctions.Its tally leapfrogged to 85 in 1989 elections!In 1991 election BJP’stally rose to 120!And BJP led NDA coalition Govt.ruled from 1998 to 2004!Advanicoolly placed the “temple Issue”pn the back burnerunder the pretet of “Compulsions of coalition!”Consequent to that BJP failed to regain power not only in 2004 elections but also in 2009!
    Now in 2010, he is sidelined in his own party and his achievements have been given a different colouring!So Ayodhya that looked like haldighati to Advani in 1990 has turned out a Waterloo in 2010!

Now if a BRAVE JUDGE pronouces a humane judgement , contrary to Muslim Personal Law , and inevitably retards like Sahabuddin jump on the fray and DEMAND MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW WILL OVERRIDE AGAIN SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT.

    While I do not support the narrow religious bigotry of any one irrespective of their religions, I can not understand the stands of the muslims of India for sticking to their stand that they want the mosque at that site, which has very strong religious and emotional sentiments for the Hindus. By saying this I am not at all condoning the acts of the people who had destroyed the mosque at Ayodhya.

    The muslims of India have no specific attachment for that site. If it is Babri mosque, as some people say, then it is stigma for the muslims that one of their ancestors had destroyed a religious place of other community and made a mosque over that. Do they- the muslims- want to live with that stigma and shame?

    Let the muslims magnanimously agree to hand over that site and build a grand mosque, may be if it required in the vicinity. This to my mind will go a long way to heal the wounds perpetrated long ago. This will also take away a potential mischief from the politicians.

    Is some one listening to this? Will some one rise to make a new India, is the question.

    Are you forgetting the original intent of building a mosque on destroyed Hindu temple ?

    it is meant to convey that only islam is the true religion and Hindus are Dhimmis and to humiliate them.

    why should they stop this humiliation, as they get their superiority complex satisfied…

    What do education and jobs have to do with Ayodhya? As always, Rahul is obfuscating the issue, comparing apples and oranges. And we shall see, how far has India advanced if the judgment goes against the muslims. As I have said before, the core issue is that people in India look at the highly discriminatory policies of practically all muslim majority countries in the world and they are wondering what will happen to India if India becomes a muslim majority country tomorrow. They are afraid, very afraid. You maybe an Indian first and muslim next (are you?) but the only important thing here is the average muslim. Is he an Indian first and muslim next? Nobody would be happier than BJP if it was so. Ask Advani.

    The only honorable and fair solution to Babri Masjid issue is that the Muslims be allowed to build a mosque there. If Hindu_India is able to usurp the land because of their numeric strength, or by intimidation, it would leave an unbridgeable trust deficit between the Majority and Minority community. No Muslim of any disposition living anywhere in the world would ever accept the made up and concocted story of Ram’s Birth Place is Ayodhia Mosque. The logic, the proof is not there. BJP/VHP needed this to build political support and it has all been fabricated. Hindus have no legal or moral right to take this place from Muslims.

    There is really no “Muslim” place in India; for, if we go by land titles, any Muslim place at one time in history was confiscated from soembody who is not Muslim, because Muslim faith was not the original inheritor.

    Questioning Rama was born in Ayodhya or whether Rama ever lived is like questioning the immaculate conception of Mother Mary. Will Muslims ever give away Mecca and Medina?

    If the trsut deficit increases between majority and minority community due to this, let it be. Thousands of mosques have been created, and are still being created in every part of India without any issue or without any problems from the majoprity community.. Looks like that is not helping to bridge the trust deficit. . Muslim kings, Muslim chieftains, and some Muslim people have destroyed many temples in the past (pre independence), running in thousands. . No Hindu ruler or hindu chieftains or Hindu people have ever destroyed a Muslim or other belief’splaces of worship. Of course, Muslims of today cannot and should not be blamed for those destructions; however they should be aware of that history.

    So, dont bring the **** of trust deficit.

Or should they atleast at a bare minimum ask can you please prove what you are stating and then we will give you the place?

    As for the Hindu kings in the past not destroying religious places go read the following link http://www.chowk.com/articles/14150. Please know your history before you ask others to know theirs. Hindus have not destroyed just Jain and Buddhist temples but also hindu temples in the past. That was the culture in those times and Muslims were no different.

    One thing that I do agree with is no one should be blamed for what their community did in the past because that does not solve anything today. It only increases the divide and we should try and get people together.

    Hi Shan,
    If there were more people like you there would be no riots in India. If we can have a big temple and a grand Mosque in Ayodhya standing side by side, we can turn this disaster into a big opportunity. Hinduism is more a way of life and it’s very flexible and allows people to worship God in any form. That’s why there were no massacres or persecution on new religions like Jainism, Buddhism etc. and a lot of people converted to these religions. Even majority of Muslims in India converted from Hinduism. You can find the Hindus divided almost equally on this issue while moderate Muslims are in a lopsided minority.

    Yet we remain clueless people we even hide the shame of being treated like foreigners in our own motherland by muslims. We have had our religious places destroyed. Do muslims give up? They still want to destroy Israel and hate non-muslims.

    Let look at facts about islam and muslims and why they want a mosque, it’s because muslims are required not to return any land they have taken away from non-believers.

    This verse in Quran gave birth to the law that all non muslims living in an Islamic state have to pay the jiziya or poll tax for the privilege of being there. These people are called zimmis and are allowed to live and work in the Islamic lands under the following 20 disabilities: (one has to wonder if apartheid was derived from this)

    1. They are not to build any new places of worship.
    2. They are not to repair any old places of worship which have been destroyed by the muslims.
    3. They are not to prevent muslim travellers from staying in their places of worship.
    4. They are to entertain for 3 days any Muslim who wants to stay in their homes and for a longer period if the muslim falls ill.
    5. They are not to harbor any hostility or give aid and comfort to hostile elements.
    6. They are not to prevent any one of them from getting converted to Islam.
    7. They have to show respect to every Muslim.
    8. They have to allow Muslims to participate in their private meetings.
    9. They are not to dress like muslims.
    10. They are not to name themselves with Muslim names.
    11. They are not to ride on horses with saddle and bridle.
    12. They are not to possess arms.
    13. They are not to wear signet or seals on their fingers.
    14. They are not to sell or drink liquor openly
    15. They are to wear a distinctive dress which shows their inferior status and separates them from Muslims.
    16. They are not to propagate their custom and usages among the muslims.
    17. They are not to build their houses in the neighbourhood of muslims.
    18. They are not to bring their dead near the graveyards of the muslims.

    That mosque in Ayodhya had no emotional or historical value to muslims of that area. The only history, perhaps, it had was that it was constructed by Babar, grand father of Akbar, by demolishing a Hindu temple. If that is the history then it would be tainted one for any muslim. Many mosques have been relocated even an islamic country like Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia for very routine reasons like relaying roads etc. So, what are we talking about? If “Hindu India”, as mentioned by you, wanted to usurp the structure, they could have done it any time from 15th August 1947 when a muslim Pakistan was created for them. The very reason, it was done shows the tolerance of the majority community.

    I fully accept that in this day and age the Babri Mosque should not have been destroyed by Hindu fanatics because if we are to be taken as a serious country then we should not be doing such things and to maintain the sanctity of the constitution, those who perpetrated these act must be duly punished. But the Muslims with their horrible and savage history of pillage and destruction of some of the most sacred sites of other religions in India are the last people on the face of this earth to complain about any mosques being destroyed. This is a Hindu issue and it should be the Hindus who should solve this issue in the best spirit of the secular Indian constitution. I suggest the Muslims should keep out of this. Period!

    As a congress sycophant, no wonder Zia drools over Rahul Gandhi; although his great grandfather’s love for political power at the expense of the territorrial integrity of the country is one reason of this constant enmity and lack of trust between the two communities.

    So, here is a self-made old man, who lost everything in partition, came to India and built a life for himself. A man cannot run away from his experience and eye witness incidents; only Gods and angels can. For good or bad Advani is the living product of a messy bloody partition.

    Somnath is a symbol of civilizational wounds impinged on not once, not twice, not thrice, not four times.. It is a wound even deeper than the division of the country. So, finding fault with him for retiring to Somnath, while may not be fashionable, is quite timelya nd poignant, giving the message of “never again” with the thtreat of radical Islam around us all over again.

    Rahul Gandhi has not been burned in the crucible like Advani. A sheltered boy of below average intelligence; he could be what he is only in India — well, we have examples of everything here! We all know he will be the prime minister one day, and let us hope he will more than make up by delivering to the country.

    The comments in reply to the article imply that there are so many religious nuts here. I agree that good jobs are more important than temple/mosque. Harping on the past and maligning an entire group of Muslims of today, who had nothing to do with what might or might not have happened, is the height of stupidity.

    Singhji,

    Most Indians do not know why Muslims hate Somanath so much and so viscerally. It was rebuilt by Sardar Patel after shfting a mosque which had been built into it. At that time there was nobody to protest. All the Shahabuddins, Bukharis and other mullahs were busy licking their wounds at the moth-eaten Pakistan that they said the Britishers and the Hindus had doled out to them. It is only when the re-awakened Hindus started demanding construction of Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, all these people formed Babri Masjid prtotection committee etc with active support from the congress and other pseudo seculars.

    Oh Mr. Zia, with whom are you comparing Advani with. The relatively inexperienced Rahul. And what are you trying to bring into picture. That Advani rose to fame because of the any such previous tragedies. What cheap comments and cooked stories. Your lavish prasies on Rahul and criticisms of Advani shows that you are on Congress payrolls who has been actually sponspored by Congress to write such nonsense things. After all secular Muslims like you are bound to be on the Congress payrolls lest knowledge of cheap secularism cannot be spreaded without your writings.

    Get real man. The fact is Rahul Gandhi has shown far more maturity than L K Advani. whose credibility is at the lowest. A temple in Ayodhya is not going to solve the serious problems of the country – education, unemployment., health care, and infrastructure, which by the looks of it Advani does not care and neither do you. Advani may be a hero to Hindutva brigade, but to the vast majority of the Indians he has been a divisive figure. That is why his attempt to fulfill his Prime Ministerial ambitions ground to dust in the last general elections.

    Why only Muslims but vast majority of Hindus would support the Congress much to your chagrin, because they do not subscribe to the hate and divisive agenda of the RSS, whose principal exponent has been L K Advani. It seems that Advani and RSS do not wish to learn any lessons even after two successive defeats in the general elections in 2004 and 2009.

    ishwar Reply:

    Satish,

    Why does Rahul Gandhi talks so much without accepting any responsibility of the state of affairs in the country? If Mr. Advani is a divisive figure, what is the contribution of Rahul Gandhi and his family since independence?

    The fact is Congress has effectively kept half the nation illeterate and carry on getting voted back to power on the back of media propaganda and people’s ignorance (including yours).

    Satish Haldankar Reply:

    Why shouldn’t he talk? He is also an MP. just as L K Advani is. By your logic, neither should Advani talk then. That is not on. They are free to express their views, just like you and me.

    Sure, Advani has been a divisive figure. His infamous rath yatra resulted in riots killing more than 2000 people all over India. He will be remembered only for this and his unequivocal backing of Narendra Modi.

    I am no particular fan of Nehru-Gandhi family, but here is my take. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the best Prime Minister we have had. He nurtured many of the democratic institutions needed to govern this country. Indira Gandhi was the worst, as she tried to browbeat the system (the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary) to her whims and fancies. Rahul Gandhi was just an ordinary Prime Minister, nothing much to write home about.

    The problems of the country – illiteracy, health-care, infrastructure, etc. cannot be blamed on party alone. These are national problems. What makes you think that BJP would have solved these problems? They were given one chance in 1998/1999 and what did they do to solve the problems, hardly anything. Instead they shamed India by Gujarat 2002. If Gujarat 2002 had not happened, probably BJP would have won in 2004 and in 2009.

    Zia mian,
    Raul is a certified ******! No one knows what he stands for. The italian mafia queen and her dumb son don’t know governance. They are being managed by a coterie of converted christians and moslems. The impotent congress has dragged india down be it Kashmir, Naxalism, NE or handling china. They messed up CWG royally and corruptions galore!

    Now, listen you moslem fanatic, Advani does not matter anymore! We the educated Hindus want a temple for Lord Rama where it once stood. Advani only kindled the dormant feelings in every Hindu. He desrves kudos for it! Advani has officially retired and he has publicly said he would not be contesting next elections. Are you not a ****** to not know this?

    Any misadventure by congies or courts or barbarian worshipping moslems or christians, there will be a massive Hindu backlash! Let Raul and you scums shove your “development” plans in our rear!

    Just to put the record straight – there is considerable evidence in history that places of worship of the minorities have always been destroyed by the rulers to assert their faith – so Hindu rulers destroyed Buddhist temples in India, the Buddhist rulers destroyed Hindu temples in South east Asia, and Tamil temples in Sri Lanka, etc .

    It is wrong to say that Hindus have never destroyed places of worship, as Mr. S. Singh seems to believe.

    When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here’s how it works.

    As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

    United States — Muslim 0.6%
    Australia — Muslim 1.5%
    Canada — Muslim 1.9%
    China — Muslim 1.8%
    Italy — Muslim 1.5%
    Norway — Muslim 1.8%

    At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

    Denmark — Muslim 2%
    Germany — Muslim 3.7%
    United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
    Spain — Muslim 4%
    Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

    From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

    France — Muslim 8%
    Philippines — Muslim 5%
    Sweden — Muslim 5%
    Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
    The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
    Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

    At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

    When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

    Guyana — Muslim 10%
    India — Muslim 13.4%
    Israel — Muslim 16%
    Kenya — Muslim 10%
    Russia — Muslim 15%

    After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

    Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

    At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

    Bosnia — Muslim 40%
    Chad — Muslim 53.1%
    Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

    From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

    Albania — Muslim 70%
    Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
    Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
    Sudan — Muslim 70%

    After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

    Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
    Egypt — Muslim 90%
    Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
    Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
    Iran — Muslim 98%
    Iraq — Muslim 97%
    Jordan — Muslim 92%
    Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
    Pakistan — Muslim 97%
    Palestine — Muslim 99%
    Syria — Muslim 90%
    Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
    Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
    United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

    100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:

    Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
    Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
    Somalia — Muslim 100%
    Yemen — Muslim 100%

    Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

There is no cogent proof that Babri Masjid was a temple at the Birth place of Ram. No proof. No logic. No moral reasoning. Just intimidation. Just use of raw power of the majority to subdue and subjugate the minority. That is all I see. I see no rationale in Hindu_India demanding to take over the Babri Masjid to Build a Temple.
    If Hindu_India succeeds by share use of force and violence, then I believe there will other places demanded by Hindu_India. If Hindu_India takes over the place, I would consider it theft and robbery. I would call it State Terrorism to humiliate and subjugate the minority, deny them freedom of religion. It would shatter the facade of Indian secularism and democracy.
    Muslims of India must stand up and fight for their rights otherwise they would just be eliminated. Take lesson from Sikhs. They were crushed, physically, morally and religiously. Today, Sikhism is considered an off-shoot of Hinduism. Sikhs do not have the courage to even demand a separate religious status for themselves.
    Forcibly taking over of Babri is last step towards extermination of Islam in India under the guise of Hindutva.

After all, Mosques will not built with Hindu temple architecture! Go and see it for yourself!

    The other one is the birthplace (Janmabhoomi) of Lord Krishna in Mathura. Earlier the Kesava Deo temple had a room which was considered as the birthplace of Lord Krishna. Mughal emperor Aurangzeb ordered the demolition of the temple and constructed Katra Masjid in 1661.

    I did not participate in any genocide but it looks like you have good experience. What you pakistani muslims did to bengali hindus in 1970-71 is called genocide not what happend in Gujarat.

But, the Sikhs have later elected congress governments in the state and also at the centre. Therefore, stop your nefarious ****-game of trying to drive a wedge between the Hindus and the Sikhs.

So far Mr. Advani is concerned, I basically don’t agree with most of his ideas and visions. But I can confidently say that this time Advani has played a constructive role and by the way, he is a strong nationalistic leader and has decisive conviction. The present bunch of Congress leaders basically have no idea on dealing with issues. They only have the time delaying tactics.

    if hindus believe this is where lord ram was born then they should be allowed to build a temple at that site. the issue really isn’t whether he was born there or not, it is one of belief or faith. the fact whether there was a temple or wasnt is not important. the point is that particular spot has little significance for muslims and a mosque can be built at an alternate site.

Muslims and Hindus have co-existed here (remember, same people) … Muslims have thousands of masjids here, i hear the adhaan everywhere … so religious freedom exists here and not every incident is a test of that … Dont u think you want your fellow muslims to take up meaningful causes such as eradicating poverty, education to compete in the modern world? Muslim communities here are so backward and before quickly claiming it as a conspiracy to keep the community behind, walk in to a local madrasa of a modest community and see what they learn / discuss? i think you are a smart guy but instead of spending your energy on calling this a litmus test, help them with curriculum that includes english …

    Now, let’s put the facts down …
    Goons led by Advani / RSS broke up a place of worship – the whole thing was savagery caught on live TV
    Babri masjid wasn’t being really used
    This is not about religious freedom as every minority has plenty of it in this country
    This is about a political party’s agenda
    Rahul gandhi is no saint either but is definitely more forward faced than the current lot ..
    if this was your place of worship (symbolic) in a land where you are a minority, how would you feel?

    Whatever / however you answer this question is where you stand … if everyone still sticks to their guns, then god help us all …

    Turn the place into a MULTI FAITH WORSHIP PLACE. This will force all the communities to meet together and leave their bigotry behind. It will be a single structure with several different areas for different religions, INCLUDING ONE FOR THE INDIAN RATIONALIST ORGANISATION, who will point out PORKYS OF ALL RELIGION by the way of posters etc. The architecture has to be stunning, something akin to a Taj Mahal of 21st century. I can think of only one person who can handle this job. he is FRANK GEHRY. This architecture itself will attract people all over the world and will STAMP THE SECULAR CHARACTER OF INDIA FOR ONCE AND ALL.

    3. Islam is basically arabic tribalism + judaic practice + stolen prophets of xtianity and judaism + violence.
    4. The story of Kaaba construction is made up story. Mohammad was a LIAR. Kaaba is an occupied Pagan temple.
    5. South Asian muslims who make up close to 33% of total muslim population are dalits of muslim world. Can you believe 33% of these slave muslims found no mention in Obama’s Egypt speech?
    6. Most the muslims are fanatic to the core with just one goal in mind i.e. supermacy of Islam over others.
    7. Educated muslims are far more dangerous than uneducated one..e.g. Jinnah, Iqbal, Syed Ahmed Khan, Zia Haq, Naveed etc. These are the muslims who create terrorist.

    The only way to deal with muslim stubbornness is to use brute force on muslim majority lands and make them landless. It is time muslims supermacy (Fascism) is dealt with firm hand.

    A certain gentleman has repeatedly demanded that proof be shown that a temple existed in Ayodhya over which a mosque was built. That proof exists. The Archaeological survey of India (ASI) has long submitted a report pointing to strong evidence of a temple below the babri rubble. Some hindu leaders are letting their own cause down by saying this is a matter of faith. That it surely is, but it is additionally an issue where irrefutable proof exists of a temple being broken for a mosque to be built over it. Hopefully the courts will take that into account and deliver a just verdict.

    Separately, I am amazed that this prattle of building schools and hospitals is raised only when one talks of Hindu temples and issues. Why does Rahul baba not remember this theme of schools and hospitals when it comes to issues with other faiths? Because Hindus do not vote en masse which other minorities do.

    The day that stops, rahul baba will become the biggest supporter of the Ayodhya temple movement.

    This call is in bad faith for history knows that Aurangzeb accelerated the temple destruction program of his forefathers and single-handedly championed the destruction of thousands of temples.

    Ashish Reply:

    @Binoy Hegde,
    well, this is a digression; but, the syllabus is the same and for the “social sciences” like History, Geography and Civics- every school follows NCERT in Delhi; either in Hindi (that would be lot of the aided/ government schools) and the so called public (actually private!) schools.
    Now, it also depends on the delivery. Lest it be misconstrued, the books have not yet sunk to that level of “saffron for Hindus and green for Muslims” kind of nonsense. It is the teacher who does not know any better. And, this is in one of the better known schools.
    @BV Shenoy,
    Well, I am a non-believer myself (responding to the last para of yr post.). To be honest, I would not have any problems declaring Lord Rama as a mythological figure. But, you know, you or any Hindu will never kill me for it. Which is why, I feel safe and proud calling myself a Hindu.
    The point about the Ram Temple is not about whether Ram existed or not; I am quite definite he did not. But, a large number of folks seem to think he did and that was his birthplace.
    It is just a property dispute as far as Muslims are concerned. Whereas, for Hindus it is not JUST a property dispute.
    @All on this blog, please google Deganga. You will never expect sickular media to report the story.

    shan Reply:

    What exactly happened in deganga. It is not true print media did not cover it , all major papers did. Apparently muslims had constructed a wall around the muslim burial ground. This new wall had blocked access to a hindu temple. So some of them probably tried to take it down. Islam as usual , without any forethought goes around and beats hindus , sets some shops to fire and mobs did a la kashmiri youth , stone pelting. What does it prove. We can safely hammer the last nail on the coffin of marxist, and all the falsehood they represent. But then again there has been NELLIE MASSACRE , so folks shouldn’t get disheartened.This again reveals the muslim quom. A saying about them is apt here. If somebody tells a muslim , “look the eagle is running away with your ear , the muslim before cheking whether the ear is still attached to the side of his head or not runs after the eagle with only one muqsad “jihad”. This is the very reason what precipitated gujrat progrom. It is like I am trying to burn quoran in pakistan , These muslims knowing they make only 13% of the population is completely blind to reality.

    @Ashish, the know all salesman. Further digression. Let me enlighten you about the origin of public schools, from the mother country of public schools. Schools were founded by the monarchy ?1000 yrs ago in England. The viking queen sent her children to GRAMMAR SCHOOL. somewhere in east anglia(that is near cambridge). I guess it was called grammar school because only thing they studied was latin grammar. The public schools are schools founded by PUBLIC(Yeh public hai jo sab janti hai) in distinction to monarchy, bit this was probably only 200 yrs ago. This is where the term public school has come. I am writing this in between doing flexible cystoscopies, as a release from the stress of breaking bad news to patients. I have at home a book on public schools , feel free with your queries about education in general , as you know by now my reach is pretty wide , just like in surgery.

    There is really no “Muslim” place in India; for, if we go by land titles, any Muslim place at one time in history was confiscated from soembody who is not Muslim, because Muslim faith was not the original inheritor.

    Questioning Rama was born in Ayodhya or whether Rama ever lived is like questioning the immaculate conception of Mother Mary. Will Muslims ever give away Mecca and Medina?

    If the trsut deficit increases between majority and minority community due to this, let it be. Thousands of mosques have been created, and are still being created in every part of India without any issue or without any problems from the majoprity community.. Looks like that is not helping to bridge the trust deficit. . Muslim kings, Muslim chieftains, and some Muslim people have destroyed many temples in the past (pre independence), running in thousands. . No Hindu ruler or hindu chieftains or Hindu people have ever destroyed a Muslim or other belief’splaces of worship. Of course, Muslims of today cannot and should not be blamed for those destructions; however they should be aware of that history.

    So, dont bring the **** of trust deficit.

    Babari Masjid – Full History

    1949 On December 23rd, Muslims finished their night prayer and left to their home. A shock was waiting for them, who came for fajr prayer. Inside the Mosque a mob kept Rama, Laxamana, Sita statues and claimed that their God took avatar (appeared) inside the mosque and they started agitating against innocent Muslims.

    An FIR was filed at faizabad police station. Afterwards central and state government banned Muslims to conduct prayer inside the mosque and this became one of the important issue in Indian history.

    Then Innocent Hindu’s mind were brain-washed with hatred feeling against Muslims by spreading a false propaganda that “Babri Majid was built by demolishing Ram Temple”

    If the propaganda of Saffron Group ” Babri majid was built after demolishing Ram Temple” is true then no Muslims will fight for this issue. Because in Islam, demolishing other religious Temple is strictly prohibited. Due to their false claim about Ram Temple, Muslims are fighting to get back their mosque.

    We don’t want to divert the subject by exposing the comment of Chatterji, AK majumdhar, Nehru that RAM is an imaginary character.

    Because the subject is to discuss by doing research whether any Ram temple exists in the disputed location ? Whether Majid was built in that location by demolishing Ram temple? Not about the existence of Ram or whether it is imaginary character or not!!!

    Even Ram is an imaginary character; no Muslims will accept the demolition of Ram temple and build a mosque in that location.

    Was Ram born at Ayodhya ?

    We’ll see how the claim of Ram born in that disputed location will be true.

    Whatever the decision Hindus want to take, it should not be fundamentally taken from the comment of RSS or any other saffron organization. It should be taken from Hindus Vedas and Purunas. In fact, it would be opposite to Hindu ideology, if some decision taken apart from this jurisdiction of Vedas.

    Valmiki wrote first about Ram and his words explained everything about Ram in crystal clear format. Valmiki explained in his Ramayana that he born at DHIREDHA Yuga.

    A basic measurement unit of time, to denote the Hindu’s belief of time is Yuga. There are four Yugas.

    Kirudha yuga 17,28,000 ( 17 lakhs, 28 thousands ) years
    Dhiredha Yuga 12,96,000 ( 12 lakhs, 96 thousand) years
    Duvaba Yuga 8,64,000 ( 8 lakhs, 64 thousand ) years
    Kali Yuga 4,32,000 ( 4 lakhs, 32 thousand ) years

    Now we are living in the time of Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga starts before 3102 years of Christ. Now 2009 finished after Christ. So 5110 years finished after kali yuga starts.

    Duvaba yuga was before Kali Yuga and Ram didn’t born during this time. Before this was Dhiredha Yuga and even Ram born during last stage of this Yuga and according to Valmiki Ramayana’s Judgment ” Ram should have born before 8,69,110 years ( 8,64,000 + 5110 )

    Like Valmiki Ramayana told about Ram’s Yuga, he specified the birth place too that is “He born at Ayodhya city ”
    That means ” Ayodhya” should exists before 8 Lakhs, 64 thousand years. A report was submitted on 1976, 77 by central government archeological department regarding ” when Ayodhya appeared?”. This report in its 52, 53 page explained that “A place name called Ayodhya in which people started dwelling was before 700 BC.

    That means, before 2708 years, there would be no Ayodhya according to their archeological research.

    Afterwards this was re-researched by C.P.Lal and K.N Theetjit , a notable historian. They also found that it was true whatever the archeological department found.

    Valmiki told that Ram born before 8 lakhs 69 thousand years at Ayodhya, but it is crystal clear that there was nothing called Ayodhya at that time.

    How Hindus can conclude by neglecting Ramayana and archeological finding?

    The age of this Ayodhya is 2708 years. But this is not the one explained by Ramayana. May be it is in different place. It is general to find many places in the same name. By considering these facts, they have to come for conclusion, which will not contradict with Ramayana and research facts.

    There is lot of testimonials in Ramayana that Ram born at Ayodhya which is different from the existing one.

    While speaking about Ayodhya, Ramayana spoke about Sarayu River. Sarayu River exists 1.5 yojan distances from Ayodhya. (1.5 yojan means 23 kilometers )

    Even though there’s one river called Sarayu at Ayodhya, it’s running inside the city, not 23 kilometers away from the city.

    That means, Ayodhya and Sarayu River told by Ramayana is not the existing one. Ramayana teachings will be correct when you believe Sarayu River flows 23 kilometers away from Ayodhya.

    People are simply neglecting Hinduism, if they consider existing Ayodhya is same like Ayodhya explained in Ramayana.

    Also Valmiki Ramayana explains that “ Sarayu River join with Ganga”. But this Sarayu River mingles with Raabthi River. What we learnt from this? Ramayana doesn’t denote this Ayodhya and Sarayu river. Also Valmiki Ramaya explains Sarayu river flows from east to west. But Sarayu river in UP flow from west to east.

    A researcher, Saer Singh Identified a truth. There is one Ayodhya at Nepal. 20 kilometers away from that city one river is flowing from east to west. Also it mingles with Ganga.

    So, those who believe Ram born at Ayodhya, which is at Uttarpradesh, are neglecting Ramayana and its ideology.

    Real Ayodhya should be one, which was explained by the Ramayana with all testimonials.

    was Ram temple existed at Ayodhya ?

    Babar Majid was build at 1528. We’ll see whether any truth present with the opinion of ” Mir Baahi” a minister of Baber, who was accused for demolishing Ram Temple in the disputed location”

    RSS claimed that Ram temple was built by king Vikramathithya. Vikramathidya is general name like Chola,Pandya kings. Chandra Gupta, samutra Gupta kings are called in the name of Vikramathidya.

    They contradict in specifying the actual king who really built the Ram temple. There is not fact in their claim.

    Gupta kings ruled some part of U.P during the period 300 AD to 1100 AD. These kings who ruled for 800 years are called as Vikramathidya.

    During the period 300 AD to 1100 AD, there was not even a smell of human at Ayodhya, according to the chief of Indian Archeological department.

    P.P Lal who submitted research report and was published at famous magazines” The Week” (25.02.1990) and “Sunday Times” (20.11.1987 ). In that report, after showing several evidences, he was confidently explained that, at Ayodhya during that period of 300 – 1100 AD, there was no human, building, temple or anything.

    In some place, which is untouched by human, how can they build a temple? How Baber can demolish a temple which was not existed? I request Hindu Brothers and sisters to think about this.

    When Ram was worshipped as God?

    If temple to be built for Ram, it should be built after Ram was worshipped as God. Now Hindus are worshiping Ram as God, but they didn’t do it before. Ram was not considered as God, Especially during the period of 300-1100 AD, which was claimed by RSS, the time when Ram temple was built.

    Amar Simha of AD 600, released many Sanskrit Poetry resources in the name of ” Amara Kosa”. In that, those who are worshipped as God in India were specified. Ram name was not in the list. So Hindus during that period were not considering Ram as GOD’s Avatar and its considered as big testimonial.

    A Sadhu called Lakhsmidhar, collected the information of all sacred place up to 11th century (until last time of Gupta Dynasty). Ayodhya Ram temple is not existed in that.

    If Ram temple was build during Gupta period, why it was not included in the list of sacred place?

    Same like that, S.S.Iyer , a notable research scholar, published book called ” Indian Temples, Historic notes”. He didn’t specify anything about Ram temple. He noted five temples which was built by Vikramathidya. Ayodhya Ram temple is not there.

    At 1989 November 12, IAS officer Ramachandra Kadri wrote one article at “Radiance”. He referred so many evidences with Encyclopedia like Britannica and comment that only after 1100 AD, Ram was worshipped as God.

    That means, until the last period of Gupta kings, Ram was not worshipped as God. Can any Hindu who has real conscience, believe that Ram temple was build during the Gupta period?

    If we want to tell more clearly, Valmiki wrote Ramayana in Sanskrit. Sanskrit was not popularly spoken by all people and only Brahmins knew about that. Because of this Ram was not considered as God.

    Valmiki Ramayana was translated and released in Hindi by Tulsi Das. After that, Ramayana was very famous among people. After Tulsi Das translated Ramayana in Hindi, people start considering Ram as God’s Avatar.

    What’s the time of Tulsi Das ? Tulsi Das Lived during the period of Baber (in Ayodhya ), which was claimed for demolition of Ram temple. Baber ruled during 1500 AD and Tulsi was living under that rule.

    Ramayana was translated in Hindi during the rule of Baber and that time Ram was not considered as God. So it becomes true that Hindu people didn’t have any knowledge about him.

    How Ram was worshiped as GOD when Ramayana was not spread across people? How temple was build for him? Dear Hindu Brothers and sisters, think about this.

    India’s first president was Dr. Radha Krishnan. His son Gopal who was good Hindu devotee and very good research scholar too. In his research article, he proclaimed that “There was no temple for Ram before 1750 AD, in any part of India. He confidently declared that “All Ram temple belongs to 18th century”.

    if Ram temple was not existed before 200 years, how Baber demolish Ram temple at Disputed location of Ayodhya. I request every citizen, to think about this.

    The truth is, the foundation of Babri Majid was laid by Ibrahim Lodi, on 1524. He was unable to continue the service for long time and he was killed in war by Baber. Then, Baber build a Majid, with the foundation laid by Ibrahim Lodi. So it is untrue to tell that Baber demolished the temple.

    Will Baber Demolish temple ?

    So far, the evidences provided here is enough for everyone, who can really able to distinguish between good and bad. For debate purpose, even though if any temple was there in the disputed location, Baber would not demolish that.

    Because, in same Ayothya, for five temples like Hunumangiri ,Jenmasthan, Baber provided incentives by writing in brass . This been safeguarded still now by temple management and was reiterated with evidences by Ramrasha Thiribathi.

    How a person will demolish a temple, who provided incentives to many temples?

    Also the population of Muslims during Baber reign would be meager when compared with present population. Sovereignty of the kingdom will be maintained only by the support of majority Hindus. Baber would be thrown-out from his throne, by agitators of Hindu Majority, if their temple was demolished. No king will be involved in such activities, if he really wants to retain his power.

    Hindus during that time were not involved in any riots or agitation, but only welcomed all Mughal heirs like Babar, his son Humayun, his son Akbar. This shows the courtesy and kindness were showered by Mughal emperors towards Hindu majority.

    During the last time of Baber, he wrote one WILL to his son Humayun written in Persian language and it is been preserved still today at Central government’s National museum at Delhi. In that he gave advise as “Dear son, you are going to rule a country where Hindus are in majority. They are respecting COW as God. So don’t eat Cow’s meat (Beef) at any instance.

    How a Good Citizen can believe that Baber demolished a temple, who advised his son to renounce the eating habit of Cow’s meat (beef)?

    Guru Nanak who founded Sikh religion was considered as big enemy during Baber’s reign. He rigorously opposed Baber, especially for the issues related with women. If Baber demolished the temple, he would have indicated that with his strong resentment. But history commenting that he went to Ayodhya and enjoyed the beauty of Babri Majid’s Structure.

    Person like him who lived in those years only knew that whether Baber constructed Majid by demolishing temple. In such case, he would never enjoy its building structure.

    Some falsely imagine and claim that people didn’t oppose the rule because of Babar’s tyrant nature.

    Baber was neither hated by Hindu people nor was he was a tyrant king. This is the truth. For debate purpose, if we consider Baber was a tyrant king, it would not be true.

    After Baber, his kingdom was ruled by his son Humayun. After 25 years of Baber’s death, his grandson Akbar ruled the kingdom. He gave up Islam and was following New Religion Din-ilahi, for which he was the founder. Akbar was like a Hindu king and even he got appreciation from many saffron organizations.

    If Baber demolished the temple, it should have been noticed by many people who lived during the period of Akbar too. They don’t need to worry about Akbar and they would have asked to rebuild the temple which was demolished by his grandfather. Surely, Akbar would have satisfied such people, if his grandfather would have demolished such structure. People could have requested, only if temple was demolished!!! But there happened no such incidents.

    We’ll leave that. Even after the Mughals era was ended by Britishers, this issue was not raised by anyone until 1948. There was no case registered too.

    In 200 years rule of British:

    No case was registered during British rule against the demolition of mosque and nobody requested British government to get back their temple.

    Problem suddenly rose to its full vigor only after December 23, 1949, when a mob placed Ram idol inside the mosque.

    In Ayodhya there are more than 30 Temples which manifest about Ram’s birth place. Hindu scholars identified many places as Ram’s birth place and they didn’t include Babri Majid among them.

    This was the reality, until saffron group diverted the attention of Hindus by such false claims.

    Saffron Group discovered that by evoking extreme hatred among Hindus and Muslims, they can capture the opportunity to rule India from Congress. Finally they captured the rule by cheating innocent Hindu citizens who believe that” All the glitters are Gold “.

    Dear Hindu Brothers and Sisters!!!

    We’ll strive to preserve the UNITY.

    We’ll neglect communal forces, which have vested interest in creating extreme friction to the development of our country.

    We’ll work hard for the economic development of our country and for its prosperous future.

    Herewith we’ll do oath to respect the Court verdict and not involving in any anti-social elements

    Zia, I think you can do better than give publicity to people who spread hate. Advani and the Hitler of Gujrat come in that category. Advani did try to rise out of the RSS fold but he was pulled in line very quickly. The young generation cares more about the living standard and the intelligence of others rather than the Mosque/Temple and the religion of others. All religion teaches good things and we should use that to get to a common ground rather than digging the past and blaming each other for the mistakes in the past. Thats how India will go forward.

    In last 60 years all riots and 90% bomb blast In India is done by RSS. One of its trained pracharak of RSS went on to kill the spirit of Indian-ness, father of the Indian nation, Mahatma Gandhi.
    Read the RSS history you will learn thier real patriotism.
    They were never a part of national movement.
    Its patriotism was sleeping when the whole nation was struggling against British rule.
    After all,
    when the founding fathers of RSS, Hedgewar and Golwalkar, were busy in sycophancy of the British masters,
    the rest of Indians including the Muslims were standing together and giving sacrifices for independence.
    In 1920, when the entire nation was standing with Gandhi and the imperialists were losing never against the tsunami of pro-independence emotion, British government accepted the apology of VD Savarkar
    who was in jail then and released him on the condition that he would form an organisation that will divide Hindus and Muslims.
    Any student of history will tell that soon after his release Sawarkar wrote his book ‘Hindutva’.
    On the basis of the book and the narrow Hindutva ideology espoused by him, RSS was formed by a ‘doctor’ in 1925.
    Later Hedgewar scripted his scheme for causing discord between Hindus and Muslims, which gave relief to British as communalism spread its tentacles.
    For 27 years, nationalist movement remained at its peak but not a single RSS leader was jailed though
    tens of thousands of Indians were incarcerated in this period. While it kept a distance from freedom movement,
    RSS leaders’ names came up during the course of investigation in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.

    Mr Zia there was conflict ever since the creation of Babri mosque. And there is proof that the place was birth place of Lord Ram. Because babri maszid was otherwise called as masjid-e-Janmasthan. That means the builder of mosque were well aware of the fact. In the vast country of India wasn’t there any other place to build a mosque. Why that certain place. Because Babri masjid was only built to humiliate Hindus. And humiliating other religions is not allowed in secularism. So Babri masjid demolition was a symbol of secularism.

    @Sword of Allah. Your name in the blog itself shows how secular you are. The Gujrat riot was a reaction to the Godhra train burning case. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is the law of physics. But as per the human sentiment is concerned the reaction may be more and less. may be peaceful or violent. So before burning the train the mischievers should have think twice that it might harm their community. why don’t you talk of Kashmiri Pandits ? who had to leave their homeland for decades.

I would say rather he might have shown his skills in conducting the CWG well. What if he formed a chorus of young MPs regardless of party and did something for this. Definitely being Gandi”?

    If Ram Mandir was not an important issue, why did Rahul Gandhi’s father allow the shilanyas for the Ram Mandir in 1986? And why did he further, permit opening of the locks to the Ram Janmabhoomi complex, allowing the continuation of pooja-path? Therefore, much as our secular media may like to mislead the nation with half-boiled ideas like the young not wanting the mandir to be built in Ayodhya and the country having “moved on”, the issue is very much relevant. No Muslim young man wants the Hindus to get the judgement in their favour and every one of them want that the mosque should be re-built, even by destroying the existing Ram Mandir.

    Will Rahul Gandhi also admit that his father was foolish, immature and pro-Hindu?

    A medieval structure with three domes existed as Babi Masjid at Ayodhya from 1528 till kar sevaks razed it to the ground on 6th December, 1992.Sunny Muslim Waqf Board of Ayodhya has valid title to that property!
    On the other hand the Hinu groups claim is only on the basis of their “Faith” only!The oldest textof Ramayan is supposed to be writen by Valmiki! It is deemed one of the two epics of Ancient India!Tulsidas’ “RamCharitra Manas”written by him at Ayodhya during Baber’s reign only led people to deify Lord Ram and he was worshpped as an incarnation of Vishnu after 175o A.D. only.(Dr.S.Gopal avers that)
    Secondly,religious texxts of earlier times do not include Ayodjya as a sacred place!Valmikis reefrences about River Sarayu then and Sarayu now are at a tangent!Yet vociferously they demand the site as theirs!

    H P Narang Reply:

    Well said Shenoy. It is being argued that a young Hindu generation has arrived who is not bothered about whether the site is in fact Ram’s Janamasthan or not. Yes, this generation is perhaps more involved in their daily enjoyments of life as their upbringing has been in a westernised way of life. But, when the time comes, they will definitely stand-up for saving their civilisation from the barbarians who are still adament to force more divisions of our motherland. Also, there is still a vast Hindu majority who are, by and large faithful to their civilisational moorings and do remember the historic facts that barbarians from other lands invaded them, destroyed their temples, looted their wealth, forcibly married Hindu girls and forcibly converted Hindus to their religion. It is largely these converts who are occupying a part of our motherland now known as Pakistan and Bangladesh and half of them are still living here in what is left of Hindustan. We, the older generation who have passed through turbulent times before and after partition, have’nt forgotten the recent past. It, therefore hurts a lot to hear that those who decided to stay here still do not appreciate that for a matter of such immence faith they, for once, not only agree to vacating the Janamasthan, but also participate in the construction of a magnificent Ram Temple, for, afterall, they largely belong to the same ancestoral moorings to which Hindus belong.

    There is lot of ranting and hatred. There is lot of Bigotry and deception. There are lot of words and bravado. There is lot of pent up frustration by Hind_India on this blog. There is no cogent proof that Babri Masjid was a temple at the Birth place of Ram. No proof. No logic. No moral reasoning. Just intimidation. Just use of raw power of the majority to subdue and subjugate the minority. That is all I see. I see no rationale in muzlims demanding to take over the Ram janma bhoomi to Build a Mosque..
    If Muzlims succeeds by share use of force and violence, then I believe there will other places demanded by Muzlims.. If Muslims takes over the place, I would consider it theft and robbery. I would call it Islamic terrorism to humiliate and subjugate the majority, deny them freedom of religion. It would shatter the facade of Indian secularism and democracy.
    Hindus of India must stand up and fight for their rights otherwise they would just be eliminated. Take lesson from Sikhs. They were crushed, physically, morally and religiously and expelled out of pakistan. Today, Sikhism is considered non existant in pakistan . Sikhs do not have the courage to even demand a separate religious status for themselves in pakistan. Same as with shias and ahmedias.
    Forcibly taking over of Ram janma bhoomi is last step towards extermination of Hinduism in India under the guise of Islamic Umma.

    This has been debated many times: Ram Janmabhumi is a matter of faith. So the argument about evidence if Ram was born right at that place is settled. Also it has been established that the mosque was built after destroying a temple at that site. Also the fact that the mosque is of little religious value to Muslims, compare to religious value of the site to Hindus.
    Building a temple is not looking back, as author seem to think, it is a matter of setting right that was done wrong. Saluting national flag is symbolic, but very important. Same is the case with honoring the sentiments of millions of Hindus who draw strength from character of Rama, the Maryada Purshottama who symbolizes goodness that this nations believes in and is very proud of.

Down the years, the leaders of the Sangh Parivar have been naive and completely misjudged the consequences of the infamous Rath yatra in 1992 and its aftermath resulting in the demolition of Babri Masjid. The BJP lost the minority vote for decades to come and the consolidation of the Hindu vote did not neutralise the loss. In fact, the reverse happened, many of the Hindus too moved away and have been moving away from the BJP for the simple reason, most of the Indians irrespective of their religion do not subscribe to the politics of hate and divisiveness. At best with dozens of coalition partners, all it could muster 182 seats for itself and part of the reason was the perceived moderate image of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

    The Gujarat genocide in 2002 have only made matters worse for the BJP- no remorse, no apology and no justice to the victims. The results of the 2004 and 2009 general elections are a testimony to their total misreading of the Indian ethos.

    On account of the actions and utterances for the 20 years or so, the BJP and the RSS have painted themselves in a corner from which it is almost impossible to get out. Today, if BJP makes any dramatic shift away from its core ideology, their die-hard supporters would feel let down and others would be sceptical. It is a lose-lose situation for the Sangh Parivar. L K Advani’s and other voices emanating from the RSS/BJP have to bee seen in this context.

    The people do not vote for the Congress or the BJP. The vote against the incumbent party. Deeper the anger against the incumbent, more votes for the opposition. Anyone can predict the outcome if elections are announced today. It is the BJP who is going to make it. Congress manipulated prices to keep them in check before the 2009 election and just about made it, 5 seats more than the BJP.

    Satish Haldankar,

    40,000 crores spent in seven years and what this congress government has produced is a national disaster and an international shame for India. India’s name is dirt everywhere. we call this a progressive, secular, government. Before that, we loved for forty years the socialist, secular pro-poor congres government, which only kept us all in abject poverty, with a perpetual begging bowl in hand standing in front of US asking for more and more alms. We love those days and that kind of governance. And with voters like you, we will enjoy the luxury for some more years.

    If the BJP is in a bad position, the Muslims who opposed the construction of Ram Mandir with one voice too are in far worse condition today than they were before 1992. By antagonising the mjority community and appearing to be utterly unreasonable and obstinate, what have they gained? Contrast this with people who are supporting the construction of the Mandir in Ayodhya. Almost all of them are speaking from a position of strength born out of education, social, economic and political development.

    So, Haldankar, support the Muslima all you want in their stubbornness that there was no Ram (Remember Ambika Soni?) and there was no Ram temple. It is not going to benefit the Muslims.

    Muslim stubbornness is causing problems for them all over.. the most recent one being the situation in NY with the planned mosque at Ground Zero /9-11 site. Approval/acceptance of Muslims has gone down significantly in US, much worser than when it was after 9/11.

    Satish Haldankar Reply:

    Mr. Shenoy and Mr Hegde, you do not see the point. People have demonstrated time and again that they prefer corrupt, and inefficient governments (read Congress) rather than one which is also corrupt and inefficient, but with an added baggage of being divisive (read BJP).

    I am not supporting Muslims or Hindus. I support human beings. What I written above is the state of affairs of the BJP and the dilemma it faces. We need a strong opposition to keep the governments on their toes and the BJP was well suited to fit into this role. However, the problem remains – Golwalkar’s ideology. I repeat the BJP has totally miscalculated its strategy, which has proved to be a very shortsighted and still in state of denial.

    What people do in other countries is their problem. We have enough of ours. So no point in raising the issue of mosque in New York or any other.

    China has encircled us from all sides. The GOI is worried of frequent stand-offs between our and chinese forces on various fronts. This is the time for all Indians to unite and face the challenges of the future that China poses to our country and people. Muslims of India were always in the forefront to defend our country – be it the Ghadar of 1857 or 1962, 1965, 1971 or Kargil (hundreds of muslim soldiers sacrificed their lives in this war). When it comes to defending our porous borders against China, we really need a unified stand and unified people. Way back in the 90s, Bala Saheb had proposed a national monument to be built over the Babri land. We should accept that and proceed on the path of unification of all Indians for our common good and security. Otherwise, alongwith the chinese armies a new Babar, from Xinjiang this time, would invade the country and reoccupy it. United we stand, divided we fall – remember this old saying.

    1. Who is Rahul Gandhi, and how does he matter?
    2. Is he a protestant or catholic?
    3. Does he have any right to talk for Hindus?
    4. Are Hindus obligated to listen to what he says?
    5. What has he done for Hindus?
    6. Is he comparable to Advaniji in any manner?
    7. Does he Qualify for the post Congress is aspiring for him?
    8. Is he capable?
    9. Does he have any experience and knowledge?
    10. Last but not the least why he has not married? Fearing for some political backlash? Is there anything suspicious here!!

    Mr Zia, you are nothing but an Islamic Jehadist, masquerading as a journalist. You and your “like-minded” Muslim brothers are very lucky that you all are living in a country like India and in times like these, where the majority of young generation has been bred on ideology of pseudo-secularism and minority appeasement. Just like even a 1 year old child realizes which action and words/sounds of his makes his audience cheer him, similarly, our media has “tutored” the present generation to parrot the cliches of secularism, communal harmony and forward thinking etc without even realizing the real meaning of these terms.

    RAHUL’S FORWARD THINKING – Mr Zia, that you and your Muslim Brethren would even love a pig if it was pitched against the sangh parivaar or BJP is another matter, but lets just study your “forward thinking” comment on crown prince Rahul Gandhi.

    1) Do you know that in every gathering and in every speech made by Sonia and Rahul in the last 15 years, they cant resist “reminding” people about the incident of 6th December 1992. Is this what you call “forward thinking” ?

    2) The media that you belong to and the party of your Sangh-hating comic hero Rahul Gandhi also refuses to acknowledge all the groundbreaking achievements of Gujarat Govt and charisma of Mr. Modi and keeps on harping about the Gujarat Riots and various Congress/CBI sponsored and concocted allegations against the messiah of Gujarat. Is this proof of your’s and Rahul’s Forward thinking ?

    3) Every year our PM hoists flag at Lal Quila on 15th August and one day even your beloved Rahul lalla might do the same. Would you write an article and condemn Rahul Baba’s “backward” thinking for remembering 15th August 1947, a bygone date and historical event ?

    4) Would you condemn Your beloved Rahul for year after year going to samadhi’s of his father, mother, grand-father, great grandfather etc ??

    5) If Mr Rahul is really so “forward thinking’ and if Ayodhya is a backward issue, then please take a pinch of your journalistic salt and swear by it that Congress, Sonia and your’s truly Rahul baba do not rake up this issue in every election speech and particularly when they are in Muslim ghetto localities and cities. Can you Mr Zia???

    6) God Forbid Mr Zia that you or your demi-god Rahul some day develop some ailment or physiological complications. But if you guys do, would you warn your physician everytime to not study the history of your ailment and look forward and tell you words like “Dont worry. Your Ailment is no issue. Nothing has happened. So what if you cant sleep at night. So what if you get fever 24 hours. So what if you cough your lungs out. So what if you keep vomiting everything you swallow. Nothing to worry boys. I am “looking forward” and have ordered all the required things you may require to pass away peacefully’ !!! Is this what you would like Mr Zia ???

    BJP/SANGH’S STUBBORNNESS – Mr Zia, Lets say BJP is stubborn about Ayodhya. But pardon me,

    1) Did i hear you, your newspaper, Rahul baba, Congress, AIMPLB or AIBMAC say a word about “going soft” on their stand ????

    2) Did media ever ponder over the “historical wrong” of 1528 and its effect on Hindu Psyche ?

    3) Did media or Congress ever try to “tell” the Muslim community to “move on’ from Ayodhya-Babri debate saying its a trival issue, why cant you just let it go ??

    4) Does Media and Congress condemn incidents of 6th dec ‘92 and 1528 in the same breath everytime ??

    5) Does media and Congress agree that just like bringing down of Babri structure has hurt Muslim sentiments, similarly there is historical proof of destruction of Ram temple and so feelings of Hindu community should also be taken into consideration and we should not draw an imaginary line of pre 1947 and post 1947 religious sentiments?

    Religion is a transcendental entity and is not and most importantly – should not be bound within a constitution or court of law. And in cases like Ayodhya, the courts should not judge the “wrongs” and “rights’ on the basis of a “separating line” of a particular date as the incident’s “birth’ occurred in or around 1528. So Ayodhya issue is a 472 year old complainant and an “entity” of its own and court should judge it that way.

    .
    That is the tragedy of so called Modern India and its getting caught up in a vicious circle of pseudo-secularist ideas propounded by an anti-Hindu Jehadist media which by all indications is adopting such stances at the behest of a political party. Its anybody’s guess why entire media is so brazenly anti-BJP and anti-Sangh parivaar and so openly and shamelessly pro-Congress !!

    Indian youth should try to see through the evil designs of Congress party and how it is waging war against Hindu conscience and Hindu sentiments because the solidification of Hindu community is politically disadvantageous for the Congress party. As such they have started turning anti-Majority and even anti-National as is evident by their Kashmir policy, just because they must please the vast vote bank of Muslim community. All the talk of BJP communalizing the atmosphere of the country is a false propaganda unleashed by Congress and its associates in Media.

    It is an insensible blog for number of reasons. First you write a blog with an open mind, in this case the author has set the agenda to bash Mr.Advani (read Hindus and BJP) and to praise Mr.Rahul (read congress – do not worry Mr.Zia your padmashree’s is on the way). The politicians or leaders will give lectures; speeches talk on various issues at various point of time, to quote two different speeches of two different topics and compare it will not make sense. To remind the author, that congress and to be precise Rahul’s family has been ruling India after independence for more than 70%. In spite of that in India 77% of people are below poverty line. If anyone needs to be blamed for our mess in our country it should be Congress as they have ruled India majorly. The last thing India does not need is empty promises or speech. If you cannot understand this and write a blog on Rahul speech before any action he has done exposes you how ignorant and dumb you are. Please bear it in mind “Action speaks louder than words”. A leader is one who inspires others in crisis, here is a so called leader who shies away from responsibilities but gives lectures. If rahul is so concerned why can’t he take some responsibilities and deliver instead of giving empty speech. I do not want to go personal against you but do not brand me as BJP sympathizer or communal. As a matter of fact I am least bothered whether a Hindu temple or Muslim dargha comes in Ayodha or not as I know for sure Lord Ram’s is in the heart of Hindus and not somewhere else and similarly for Muslims Allah is in their heart and not some where else. To the Author, stop promoting hatred and promote humanity

    Just counted the number of replies in Zia’s blog. At present, somewhere around 140. Out of it, 50 (more than 1/3 rd) are generated because of/in reply to Naveed Khan. Reacting to his provocation, most of the replies have been hateful. But strange, Mr. Khan’s replies are not moderated.

    @Zia
    Would approve Rahul, when he resumes some job and show his efficiency (like CWG) apart from “just talking”. No need to compare this boy (who just happened to get the “Gandhi” tag, because of his birth) having no responsibilities on his shoulder to self raised leaders. Be it Advani or Mayawati or Mamata Banerjee. I may not like all the 3 leaders which I mentioned. But I respect them because, they are in their place because of their work, not their birth.

    Zia, it is the same “you”, who supported a Muslim girl’s right to veil herself, who favored “Islamic Banking” over “private enterprise”, who suggested how India can follow Malaysian model for Huj travel. None at the above times, you felt, “Religion is irrelevant. Progress is more important”. Why the faith suddenly takes back seat, when the discussion is about Mandir?

    Fact is, in this country RELIGION/FAITH is “always present” and it CO-EXISTS with “DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS”. I don’t approve Advani because, he kept the first on the top of the other. I would call Rahul naive, as he says first one is just irrelevant (as if faith does not exist). One has to acknowledge Mandir-Masjid issue involves lot of sentiments and it has to dealt delicately and NOT ignored.

    Zia glows about Rahul Gandhi’s progressive views and while saddened by the regressive viewes of Advani.

    More than these two men, I am worried about our young generation, like the IIT Gauhati students, who attended Rahul’s meeting. Who is Rahul Gandhi? He is an MP not from Gauhati, but from another constituency in UP. He is presently not a national leader, but an office bearer of a party.
    Whatever he is now, he got it through as the crown prince of a political family, a family that has done a lot of injustice (may not be deliberately, but through false choices) to the cause of India. A boy born in sheltered, pampered, isolated environment, shipped to Harvard on “friends and family” quota, but who did not complete his education (btw, none of Jawahar Lal Nehru’s lineage completed their college – Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi, and now Rahul)
    So, something is terribly wrong, when the best and brightest of our students (IIT) invite him to speak and assemble to listen to him. Indians, it looks like, will remain sycophants, even after “India Shines”.

    Now to Advani. One can fault with Advani on his politics and policies. But portraying his return to Somnath as “retarded” is off the mark. Advani is one of the unfortunate ones who had to leave his birth place, leave everything behind, and migrate to what is now India. He saw the violence first hand in that run during partition. Somnath to him is a symbol where it all started. The continuous, constant razing of the great temple by the invading Muslim barbarians eventually resulting in the partition of his motherland. For him Somnath is a beginning and partition its end.

    Under-achiever, Back bencher, low-IQ Rahul Gandhi lecturing IIT student..What a joke!!!
    His family has ruled this country for 40 years (18 Nehru + 16 Indira + 6 Proxy Sonia) and you see where we stand compared to China. The real development in India was started by PV Narasimharao followed by BJP. Now what congress is doing is following PVN and BJP’s development model.

    Few days back Rahul Gandhi said that Marxism is a dead ideology and I totally agree with him but the kind of populism that Nehru, Indira, Rajiv, Sonia and Rahul himself have indulged in is anti-capatalism and pro-marxism. When you get Vedanta scrapped based on some violation and then go for photo-op with pro-maoist elements, what is that called, development or marxism? When your mother goes around with corruption ridden populist measure such as MNEREGA, what is this..Development or Marxism? When your mother allows kalmadi and company to loot CWG, what is it called, development or marxist corruption? You allow Sharad pawar to loot Indian agriculture sector, Is it development or marxist loot?

    I can say with conviction that inflation 2-G spectrum, CWG mess etc. are intentional acts done by Congress and allies to raise party funds so that they can pump money during 2014 election to buy CEC, fix EVMs, Media, Minorities and corrupt hindus. I am pretty sure congress must have close to 100,000 crores in its kitty. I am saying this based on Sukhram story (if our so called development oriented youth will care to read about it).

    On terror front, we have seen Rahul’s chamcha Digvijay going around visiting homes of terrorists providing them moral and political support. There were some congress MLAs who have been accused of providing safe refuge to IM terrorists. There was a congressmen caught today in Allahabad with 1 Cr. drugs found in his house.

    This congress is not the congress of Mahatma gandhi but it is congress of Maglomaniac Nehru, Dictator Indira, Butcher Rajiv, Chalu Sonia and Idiot rahul. The congress of Mahatma is long dead. This congress is congress of fundamentalist minority elements who want to keep majority fractured by using British trick of DIVIDE and RULE. The hindus ae destined to be ruled by non-hindus.

    Advani has been discredited not because he is a hardliner hindu but because of his views on partition and Jinnah. He changed his stance to woo muslims but muslims saw thru his politcal ploy and it boomranged on Advani. He has lost his creditibility among his supporters as well as his enemies. However when it comes to sharpness of mind, I think, 80 year old Advani is miles ahead of LOW IQ Rahul.

    I’d also like to know why did Rahul enrol as RAUL VINCI in foreign educational instituitions. It seems to be a matter of fraud. He should come forward with his real name and not fool masses. If he is not Raul Vinci then he should present proof if he is indeed Rahul gandhi.

    My stand of temple is clear. If muslims remain rigid (stubborn) on mosque in Ayodhya (that has absolutely no relevance in Islam), Hindus should insist on temple at that site.

    I just want to ask muslims. If non-muslims attack Kaaba and convert it into a temple or church, will they give up on Kaaba or fight till eternity to get it back. Mind it that non-muslims will ask you about birth certificate of Adam and Abaraham. They may also ask for land records from Mohammad’s time to prove Kaaba is Islamic shrine. Infact they may also ask for birth certificate of Mohammad and other angels who spoke to Mohammed when he has having epileptic strokes.

Recently, in the southern province of Sindh, a Hindu man was accused of blasphemy and beaten to death by his co-workers. This comes at the heels of the abduction and dismemberment of a Hindu engineer.

    A little while earlier, the military removed 70 Hindu families from lands where they had been living since the 19th century. To this day the temples that Pakistanis destroyed in 1992 in response to the destruction of the Babri mosque in India have not been restored.

    Pakistan, according to many accounts, was founded as a way to protect the rights and existence of the minority Muslim population of Colonial India in the face of the larger Hindu majority. Pakistan’s founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is reported to have said in 1947: “In due course of time Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Muslims will cease to be Muslims – not in a religious sense for that is the personal faith of an individual- but in a political sense as citizens of one state.” It is therefore a travesty of Pakistan’s own founding principles that its Hindus – and not to exclude Christians and Ahmadis – have suffered so grossly.

    There are two levels of prejudice in Pakistan with respect to Hindus – the cultural and the legal.

    While it is difficult to say which one is more pernicious, cultural prejudice is certainly more difficult to uproot because it is perpetuated by religious supremacism, nationalism, stories, myth, lies, families, media, schooling and bigotry.

    Cultural prejudice has become part and parcel of language itself. Hindus are referred to as “na pak.” Na means “un” and pak means “pure.” So, Hindus are turned into the impure, or unclean. Given that the word “pak” is part of the word “Pakistan” – which means Land of the Pure – somebody’s impurity suggests that they are not really Pakistani.

    To make matters even worse, Pakistani mullahs teach a very supremacist version of the Islamic creed, the kalima. Usually, the kalima reads simply: “There is no god but God and Muhammad is His final messenger.” The version that children are taught, however, reads as follows: “The first kalima is Tayyab; Tayyab means Pak (Pure); There is no god but God and Muhammad is His final Messenger.”

    Do you see how the word “Pak” – which denotes both purity and connects to citizenship in Pakistan – is smuggled into the Islamic creed? Since in Urdu this little ditty rhymes very effectively, this is the version of religiosity that most children repeat their entire lives. As a result, while they grow up, they psychologically equate Hindus with impurity, with uncleanliness, as not Pakistani, and therefore less than, both Islamically and as citizens.

    The only two parties that can begin to bring some change in this arena are the state and the liberal clerics.

    Last year Pakistan’s prime minister did greet Hindus during Diwali and a prominent Hindu nationalist leader – who had to quit his party because of his outreach – that was born in Karachi did come back and pay respects to his birth-city.

    Cricket diplomacy, which began in 2004, helped a little (but not really, because the focus was on cricket and not on religion). Also, there are a few prominent Hindus here and there – one is a justice of the Supreme Court and one is the leading leg-spinner for the cricket team. Yet, as the Pakistani exile Tarek Fatah points out, Justice Bhagwandas had to take the oath on the Quran. Meanwhile, Kaneria is regularly excluded from the Pakistani cricket team’s congregational Islamic prayer.

    As bad as the cultural prejudice is, legal prejudice is the one that must be more urgently dealt with, because it is what allows cultural prejudice to acquire institutional power.

    Two laws in particular have been very problematic for the Hindu community.

    The first one was promulgated under the 1973 constitution which made Islam the state religion of Pakistan and established a separate electorate for Muslims and non-Muslims so that Hindus could only vote for Hindu candidates. Musharraf abolished this in 2002. I think Muslims who support the idea of Islamic states around the world really need to stop and think about this for a second. It took an American-backed dictator in the year 2002 for a Muslim state to abolish unequal voting? As a wise man once said: are you kidding me? This is a deplorable commentary on the state of equality in today’s Islam.

    The second law is the infamous blasphemy law passed under Islamist dictator Zia ul Haq in the 1980s. Designed specifically to punish the Ahmadi minority, the blasphemy law now provides convenient protection to anyone who ever wants to kill, murder, maim, beat up, mug, abduct, or punish any religious minority. All you really have to do is carry out your brutality and then point at the victim and say that he was blasphemous.

    This law needs to be repealed immediately: no reform, no fixing, no tweaking, but total abolishment. Efforts to repeal it under Musharraf failed in the Senate. The secular parliament in session now is probably not going to touch it unless it is told to do so by international groups (who frankly aren’t really interested). The UN, EU, US, and International Council of Jurists must make some noise about repealing Pakistan’s heinous blasphemy law.

    There are little more than three million Hindus in Pakistan (a nation of 160 million). They are still part of Pakistani life and need to be treated with respect and dignity. According to some sources, at the founding of Pakistan, Hindus comprised nearly 15% of the country’s population and now number barely 2%. Many have left, many have been killed, and many have converted to other religions to protect themselves. All in all, a travesty for a state that was created with the intended purpose of protecting minorities.

    @Rajeev I am going to spoil your party. Oh God , I will say pakistan is a hindu country through and through. I once came across the matrimonial columns in Star Dust UK, muslim jat boy seeks muslim jat girl , muslim RAJPUT boy seeks seeks Muslim Rajput girl. The People in Raiwind in Punjab wear Dhoti. BASANT is a much big festival than Id. In fact Sir Sikandar Hayat didn’t like Jinnah at all , in fact he was apprehensive this partition will lead to slaughter of Lalas. He had said if Jinnah has his way pakistan will be a jinnastan and nothing more. Sadly he died long before the partition and thus could not change the course of history. I can quote chapter and verse from Patrick french’s book “liberty or Death”. Also it is quite upper class to wear SARIS in pakistan.Also the treatment of rather skinned Mohajirs is nothing but pakistani version of scheduled caste or harijans.

    This is the real irony. As per muslims, people converted from Hinduism to Islam to escape caste system but what we see today is that pakistani muslims are still trapped in caste & on top of that they are divided on Ethnic lines such as pathan, sindhi, Baloch, Punjabi who never intermarry.

    The conversions mainly happened to escape Jizya and the violence of Muslims thugs.

    Muslims will tell any stories.
    They tell different stories in different countries.
    Just compare what they are telling in other places and you will know what is the truth and what is propaganda…

    Dear Friends,

    What I am writing below is apparently off the main topic of this blog, but actually it is not. The root of problem and solution is discussed.

    The end of Ideology of Hate and fear is near. How this ideology has survived so long is by clamping on discussions and knowledge through out its violent history. Adherents have been made by Power of Sword and Political / Social discriminations. They could do it as they had the means to control what one can speak and hear. Severe penalties were imposed on anyone going against its policy of total darkness in Knowledge. Now with this option on its way out due to advancements in communications ( Internet, Mobile etc.), this hate and fear filled ideology can not survive for long. Time is running against it.
    In the interim, as most of them have been born and brought up with total brainwashing , which starts from their early childhood ( In their families as also among their friend circle ), they shall resist. This happens with everyone who has to renounce in light of knowledge, what had looked a certainly till then. Let us be patient with them .They are our long separated brothers and sisters. If our ancestors also had to go through the circumstances that their ancestors had to go through, we also would have been in their brotherhood and we also would have been replying similarly. What sometimes looks from outside as a very powerful entity is actually very brittle. It can collapse surprisingly very very fast. We have seen something like this happening in our life time. Communism as a philosophy and Political ideology looked so strong just 25 years back. It was sometimes suggested that it will over run entire world. It already was in power in almost half of the world. New adherents to this philosophy were getting added every day. It remained very powerful for almost 70-80 years. But now what has happened to it? It is nowhere including in China. Why did it collapse? because it was in its application contrary to basic human instincts , which is freedom of thought. How did it survive for so long, it used the same tactics of clamp down on its population as Islam is doing. Why has Islam survived for so long and communism collapsed much faster ? It was because God is invoked in this religion while Communism did not invoke God. ( God can be used and badly misused . Islam has misused it very badly ). Communism developed during times when initial scientific knowledge of Europe was challenging concept of God. It had started appearing that future generations will be able to do without God. So Communists missed on involving god. This was their shortcoming , otherwise Communism would also have taken more time to get rid off.
    Anyone who has understood Islam as per its sources and in its actual actions through out its history, knows its creation is from a delusioned and hallucinating person ( something like our failed yogis ) .He stumbled on some higher levels as he used to go into some sort of meditation in caves. Arabia did not have not much of higher spiritual background , there was no one to properly guide him / correct him and hence he became totally disjointed. He really started believing that what he is hearing is from God. Any one in India who wants to go into meditation is clearly informed by our yogic traditions that he/she should first cleanse one’s inner self other wise he/she can get into illusions and hallucinations. First two steps out of eight steps of RAJ YOG relate to this inner cleansing. Only after inner cleansing, a person is asked to adopt meditative postures and go for meditation. With this initial and very crucial preparation , a yogi can overcome what he/she can experience there after. Even after this, it is strongly suggested to have a Guru to help in developing a persons spirituality. Go through history of Quranic revelations and what Mohammed experienced and how he related it to his wife and others makes it clear on his Spiritual Psychological problems. Had Mohammed been born in India, he would have been guided by the great Spiritual tradition of India and the world would not have suffered so much. In his Medina years , he started on physical violence, looting , killings and he really believed that God is guiding him in this. His followers became his very strong followers as he was winning and was successful in what he planned. Now Quranic revelations were propping as per convenience of Mohammed ,like allowing him to marry his Daughter -in-law which was a taboo in Arab society. So many other revelations started coming which were the concerns of Mohammed at that time for his political and social needs. There is a saying that nothing succeeds like success. His followers also were sharing his loot and becoming rich. They also had the superior feeling of helping themselves and being on the right side of God. Something similar happened to Chengiz Khan also . Changiz khan was not a Muslim as we sometimes confuse , he was a Shamanic from Mongolian tribe , similarly not educated and with no experience in his tribe for warfare . He also used to go to a mountain and meditate there. He also got visions which made him believe that God is telling him to win over all world. With this firm God belief and also his initial successes, his followers also started firmly believing in his connection with God. In a span of 30-40 years, he had ravaged and won areas as distant as from today’s Poland to Peking ( from East to West ) and Mongolia to Iran ( North to South ). Biggest area ever ruled by one person in History of world. If Chengiz Khan had also propounded any God theory for others to follow ruthlessly, we would have been having another ruthless religion of Chingezia.
    So my friends, please don’t hate Muslims. They are our brothers and Sisters. They will comeback surely and very soon. In the meanwhile please keep them engaged.

    I have another take on Muhammad’s problem. Remember there is age difference of twenty years between them. The time he went for meditation is when his wife was 55yrs. Obviously there was no physical relationship , I am a doctor I have seen many many patients with post menopausal hormone deficiency problem.(I am approaching this matter with an academic mind thus I am not going to use any true but hurtful words). Mohammad being young this must have been an unbearable situation. Remember he dare not leave his first wife , she was so powerful , it would have cost him his life. Faced with this impossible situation he turned to meditation to take his mind off carnal intrusions. There is nothing to go mad about this speculation gandhi apparently went psychotic when he had an involuntary orgasm, thereafter he started sleeping with two female consorts on both side and practice repression . Gandhi had this idiotic beleif that if he could control his urges , the energy will channeled in acheiving greater things.
    Now as you know the revelations came thick and fast , and he supplanted them at will to suit his purpose , like marrying the wife of his own adopted son as this was against the prevailing custom of arabia. This was a very very passion driven person is borne out by the number of wives he had and ALL OF THEM AFTER DEATH OF KHADIJA. and the fact he did not think twice in consumating his relationship with his most favourite wife whom he married by prevailing on his friend Abu Bakr, who was not at all agreeable in the first instance. The rest is SHEER LUST FOR POWER which led to all those wars he fought.

    good man ! i m enjoying this…this is gonna happen forever dudes…there is no end to this…muslims in their own self conscience will think they are right on the issues of babri masjid or whatever ****…and the hindus in their own self conscience will think they are right… but dont we understand that this all just leads to a vicious circle that is never gonna end .. people in the past have gone through this and now we are treading the same path…and nothing is gonna come…so just come out of this cloak of vanity and mutual hatred and religious fanaticism(mega ****) which we have worn for decades on ourselves.. bcoz there is no end result to all this…there will only be crusades and riots and these incidents like terrorism nd all..religion is the worst evil.. it is created by man to gain political power over people..so follow no religion and seek for one god which is beyond all religion , an infinite power which is probably beyond our imagination..the best way to lead life should be to be an individualist bcoz what religion does is to dissolve our own individuality into a herd or crowd mentality where we are fed to our minds everything from religion..and here is where hatred starts at the very beginning..the whole world war2 had a religious backing behind itself (german hatred of jews)… and now the word is at the brink of another great war (iran vs usa\israel or india vs pak) and the root cause of all this is religious which is meaningless , the most stupid concept of humanity because it tends to divide the supreme control by giving the concepts of blasphemy or naapak and many other things.. religion hinders us to think about the better good…so we must get rid of these petty issues and let our individuality be free from religious evils because that will be the real independence , the independence of our spirit

    You are wrong here. About the max number of nobel prize winners are Jews (mostly American) but there are a very few Israelis because Israel is a religious state.

    Further, the ultra religious jews in the Israeli city of Bnei Brak rank at the bottom of the matriculation list with a pass percentage of 15%.

    Nobel prizes in sciences, medicine do not come from vaccum.
    Unlike peace & literature, nobel prizes in hard sciences need excellent institutes
    huge infrastructure and investment

    Whichever countries, institutes, universities have those infrastructure will most likely dominate nobel prizes.

    Israel does not have that density of required infrastructure, as it is a relatively young nation.
    their effort is more focused on military and other needs.

    Maybe if arabs/muslims let them live in peace, Israel will develop those institutes..

    It will be a big surprise if some day Zia and his like see something good in BJP and Advani and something to criticize in Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.
    So this post is no surprise at all. It is as per the script.
    Not that there is nothing good in Advani or BJP, or nothing wrong with Congress, Sonia and Rahul.
    But today one can hardly find a really unbiased, independent commentator. What a pity!
    Yesterday on a TV news channel a Muslim writer tried to admit that more than 1500 temples were destroyed in the Muslim invasions and the Mughal rule but he was shouted down not only by a fellow Muslim but even the TV anchor.
    This is the state of truth in our country. Today if the Hindus want to remember their past history so that they remain alert that those things are not repeated, not to subjugate Muslims as some commentators dishonestly portray, this is defined as communalism in today’s secular India. And even most of the Hindus have fallen for this propaganda.

    It is a sad statement of fact that Hinduism is a dying religion. Today no one in his right state of mind or in his good sense will love to identify himself as Hindus. Some mentally retarded people speak of minorities appeasement whenever GOI does something positive in the interest of the Nation. Indians should wake up to the reality that there is no such thing as Hindu. India is a country of minorities and among the minotities Muslims are the single largest minority. They far exceed the Brahmans, The Thakurs, the Yadavas, the Punjabi, Gujeratis, Biharis and what not.

    By right the PM of India and most of the senior Ministers in India should have been Muslims. India by nature is more of a Muslim State than a HIndu State. Muslims out of their generosities are safeguarding the Secularist character of the Indian Naton. We should be thankful to the Muslims.

    The Ayodhya judgment is a victory of Allah the Almighty over Rama the mythology. People having a sense of self respect and dignity should waste no time in renouncing Kaffirism practiced blindly by
    their forefathers and embrace the one and only true religion, the Religion of the Creator and the Master of the Universe. Raj babbar, sharmila Tagore and Kareena Kapoor are giving good examples and those who want to be saved should follow.

    I being an Indian Muslim totally agree with the verdict and the WAQF board should give their one third to the hindus as well. That will sort this issue for good. Having said the problem is not that the Muslims dont want to do the above. The problem is then the hindus will turn around and say Sita was born where another Masjid stands and the muslims should give them that land as well. Mathura and Varanasi are the same isint it. How about a barter system. For every Mosque the Hindus want they give equivalent land and pay for the creation of the Mosque there or the moving of the existing mosque there and there should be no problem.

    A solution should be replicable. Is this a replicable solution. Whenever there is a dispute, break what is there and build a hospital, school, museum…..

Lets finish it by making the temple and moving on. The stubborn Muslim bodies which insist on maintaining the masjid there, just ensure that the issue stays alive and kicking in every Hindu heart.
    Negotiate for a favourable compromiise and just give the land be done with it !! Jai hind !

    I agree totally with this. But the Hindus should also respect the Muslim sensibilities and not ask for any ground where a Mosque stands. If it was just ayodhya then there wont be any issues but there is Mathura and Kashi as well and god knows how many will come up if those three are given.

    The message we are getting from muslims who are very sad/disappointed/angry with the verdict is that they refuse to acknowledge the existance of Lord Ram as historical figure and God in general. All they know is their god Allah and no one else. Its high time for them to understand that other faith people are around and they have their own true God and true faith and those people give a damn to their Allah. Also naturally they wont question the existance of their prophets and the angels who whispered in their ears the holy words of Allah.

    Guess muslims should grow up and accept, respect, appreciate Gods of other faith instead of questioning their historic authenticity and mocking their beliefs ( idol worshippers, satan influenced, kafirs, infedels, pagans etc) and imposing taxes, zazias, treating them as sons of satan, destroying their temples etc.

    Also they go into hysteria when some one questions about the koran, mohammed, authenticity of the pubic hair in hazrat bal, authenticity of the allah, other prophets, adam and eve etc. Let them bring a birth certificate of their first prophet Adam and Eve (father and daughter) Abraham and Sarah (father and daughter) and their historic birth place. Then we will think about the historic facts of our Lord Ram

    Verses from the Yajurveda regarding the concept of God

    “na tasya pratima asti
    “There is no image of Him.”
    [Yajurveda 32:3]5

    “shudhama poapvidham”
    “He is bodyless and pure.”
    [Yajurveda 40:8]6

    Now you tell me either the Hindu vedas are incorrect or Ram was not a God. Ram and Krishan could have been prophets and if they were then peace be upon them who brought the message of God but not God themselves. Why does God need to come down to earth if he is the most powerful and can do what needs to be done sitting where he is?

    As for Hazrat Bal and other such Muslim shrines that is unislamic. These practices have been by taken Muslims in India from the Hindus.

    @The sword, of islam , that brought misery to the world and still dragging the muslim world towards year hizra one. This is cut and pastefrom what i had written before.
    Sheila, anybody with a microscopic brain will know that most likely there was a FAIR SKINNED ARYAN WARRIOR WHO SAVED HIS FOLKS FROM THE RATHER DARK SKIN PEOPLEOF SOUTH(RAKSHAK). In order to extoll the victory an epic was written to celebrate the victory.
    Now in order to spare you the trouble of scrolling upwards here is what i wrote last night in response to your queries. You did not dare to respond. Here it is
    @Sheila ,perhaps new to these blogs, otherwise you would have got the answer in my postings in earlier. By the way is your surname a hindu surname.
    Now to reiterate what I written in earlier blogs. The concept of god in hinduism is tad complex in hinduism. At one level you have Nag (snake) devta, and at other level it is PARAM BRAMHA.This param bramha is cosmic consciousness or a massive ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY which influences every thing on this earth including humans. one school of thought thinks god is SUPRA HUMAN not superhuman or superman . Thus it is no good praying to god for benevolence, charity etc, because these are human attributes and by asking for forgiveness or wealth or fortune or help YOU ARE HUMANISING GOD. next IS CHARBAK who thinks there is NO GOD and the whole purpose of this life is to live to its full INCLUDING CARNAL PLEASURES. Now Ram . It is not neccasary for hindu beleif to have an authentic Ram. As you know all this worship according to Swami vivekananda , is just to focus your mind , so Ram is a symbol of virtuesand a symbol of god but not god per se. (though one of the greatest poet of modern India Michael Madhusudhan Dutt thought otherwise, that is another big topic)
    Now if you are a rationalist like me , you have to concede Hindus have reason to feel aggreived. They passionately feel about that place(rightly or wrongly)and that mosque was an UNUSED mosque and they can rightly feel HARD DONE BY and betrayed by the INTRASIGENCE of the lack of sagacity in the leaders of the quom.

    I frankly am unable to understand what you found dumb about Advani’s statement.
    Ram Lala under the present Judgement keeps 1/3rd of the land, including the centre dome where the idol is placed. Does the statement that the judgement sets the stage for a temple on the site undecipherable or offensive to you? Seems pretty normal.

    On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi was addressing IIT Graduates and wasn’t specifically talking about the judgement per se. Since their priorities are Jobs & Education, he talked about the same things.

    From the looks of it, given the case, There is a clear example of Advani being more honest as a person, and far more forthcoming than Rahul Gandhi, who repeated cliches relevent to the specific people he was addressing, and the intelligent media people take this as his personal political priorities.

    Very well said, Dr ShivKumar. I have time and again commented on his writings/debates that he’s a sold-out Journalist on the payrolls of Congress. When you see him on one of those debates he unmasks his loyalty openly and becomes aggressive (verbally) if anyone points out anything about his paymasters. Such an unflinching loyalty is akin to the loyalty of a scabied street dog who wags his tail to all those who throw leftovers at him and bark at the outsiders passing through the streets. My one and only one request to Mr Sharma is Please come clean in some of your next writing by openly saying that you are “An openly bought out Journalist of Congress” just like those people who say that they are “openly gay”. Indian Public, as it is, will shower you with more respect then.

    Well Dr ShivKumar, Journalism is a highly competitive industry. To survive in this industry either you have to be best or properly networked. Mr Vinod Sharma falls in the second category. Once you taste the Pasta, Spaghetti and Pizza leftovers thrown-over by the Italian Madam the taste of hard-earned Makki ki Roti and Sarson ka Saag disappears. Mr Vinod Sharma is the head of all those Journalist who line up at the mansion of the De-Facto Italian Ruler of India. To maintain his seat at this citadel he has to time and again prove his loyalty through the best lick of his tongue. Any journalist who wants to enjoy leftovers is welcome to join the bandwagon of Mr Sharma. To gutter with unbiased Journalism….they don’t sell anymore.

    I am Indian in GTA (Greater Toronto Area) and I hate to go to Brampton. I am much happier in my multicultural Scarborough. If I were so fond of everything Indian, I wouldn’t have stepped out of India. Also, people living in Brampton become so restricted in their circle that they’re even unfamiliar with Downtown Toronto. They are physically in Canada, but not taking advantage of what multiculturalism has to offer. What a waste.!

    Aseem, I don’t know what are you talking about when you say that “Indian’s who live in Brampton are unfamiliar with downtown.” That is quite an assumption, and more specifically stereotyping. I am aware and in contact with many Indian senior citizens that travel all over Canada with their clubs. Many Bramptonians work downtown. It is a shame that you say you don’t like to visit Brampton, because too many indians live here. Ethnic enclaves are all over Canada like Indian populations who primarily reside in Brampton, Surrey, Montreal. However, it is not just Indians. Many other cultural groups decide to live in similar areas (i.e., Woodbridge is home to a large Italian-Canadian population). Seems like you are not proud to be an Indian feel sorry for you. WE love our Brampton.

    I guess I’ll have to move to Brampton to prove my patriotic colours! Why not move back to India to show greater colours.
