Myths of British India

The Colonial Legacy – Myths and Popular Beliefs

While few educated South Asians would deny that British Colonial rule was detrimental to the interests of the common people of the sub-continent – several harbor an illusion that the British weren’t all bad. Didn’t they, perhaps, educate us – build us modern cities, build us irrigation canals [...]

Tamil Eelam: Church’s Brainchild?

 Is ‘Tamil Eelam’ a Christian agenda?        
By B R Haran 
The White Christian Church has the unique characteristic of gaining entry into non-White, non-Semitic civilizations, by slow infiltration of important establishments to influence them and create unrest by dividing the local populace along communal or linguistic lines, with the sole objective of Christianising those countries.
Several instances in [...]

Want Secularism? Put your money where your mouth is

  Religion and politics in “bewilderingly diverse” India
I am seeing a lot of Christians and Muslims of India badmouthing BJP, RSS and other nationalist organisations in the Western press. Did nobody teach them not to wash one’s dirty linen in the neighbour’s house? It is about time these people started putting their nation before their religion. [...]

Secular Mafia of India

Nice editorial in an Assamese newspaper. 
Voting in ‘Secular’ India
It is very important not to forget that the elections that we are now going through are the parliamentary elections of a secular democratic republic and the size and complexion of the majority in this democracy. It is also useful to bear in mind that when we [...]

Brown Slave Complains to Master Race

What is this fetish of Indian brown-skinned pastors of running to White Christians for everything happening in India? What is the reason? Does Christianity have a Master Race to which all non-White converts are supposed to run for all their needs? Are White Christians to the Indian Christians what Arabs are to Indian Muslims?
Do Christians, [...]

Shourie’s Thappads to Thapar

Devil’s Advoate: It is hilarious how Arun Shourie keeps showing Karan Thapar his place. “Keep your hands down!” he thunders at Thapar while the latter can only manage a sheepish grin.

Fabricated evidence, imaginary incidents, cooked up killings, tutored witnesses, two-dozen template affidavits to support secularism

Church and the LTTE

Lanka’s war of attrition: ignited and fueled by the Church       
By Radha Ranjan
English news channels had a field day taunting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister variously with ‘blinking first’, ‘swallowing’ and ‘backtracking’ on the issue of the LTTE. All English news channels, without exception, attributed Karunanidhi’s volte face to pressure from the Congress. Of course, this fiction [...]

Scoring Against Paganism: Untangling the Manderweb         
Krishen Kak

Mem-sahib Vomits, Brown Sepoy Applauds

Brown Sepoy Pankaj Mishra (much-awarded by Westerners, of course, as all such sepoys are) reviews Wendy Dongier’s book on Hinduism and keeps claiming that Hinduism is an invention of the scholars of the British Raj.
The way Mishra sahib flatters the mem-sahib and applauds without a word of criticism what she has vomited about Hinduism is [...]

Modi’s interview

Here is Modi’s recent interview to “Headlines Today” given onboard a helicopter.
I loved the way Modi thrashes the anchor throughout, calling such biased mediamen as “news traders” and accusing him of bringing an agenda from Delhi. “You people earn your salary from the 2002 Gujarat riots,” he tells the baby-faced anchor. Nice to see signs of assertiveness [...]

Caste as British Creation

I have alway believed that the so-called “caste system” as it exists today is essentially a creation of the British. I am glad other people think so too. To realise how British created modern caste system through their census, read Arun Shourie’s “Falling Over Backwards.” It has shocking revelations about British mischief. They were determined [...]

Secular (halal) Desecration of Hindu Idol

Secular goons of Congress up to their usual stuff of trying to trigger communal riots midway through elections so that the “minority” runs to them with their votes. (The bishops have begun to do the same now.) “Sallu Bhai” seems to be involved too in this very secular gameplan.

Psyops from “Guardian” against India

Here is some psyops from the ‘Guardian’ newspaper which has recently published India’s “country profile”:
Political pressure points: The month-long general election, which began this month, is likely to result in a leftwing coalition government that may slow liberalisation. Three issues dominate the political agenda: the crisis in farming; minority insecurity, with a wave of attacks [...]

Hindu Gods as Butt of Ridicule

Recently  I came across some shocking images that show how Hindu gods are mocked and ridiculed in the West. Here are some of these images. Why does this happen?

India was a Science and Technology Powerhouse

Some interesting facts about Indian contributions to science and technology. I found one fact simply hilarious — When Indian numbering system reached Europe, it took Europeans 500 years to accept the zero because the church considered it heresy! And these are the people who want to “civilize” us!

Afghanistan and its Hindu Roots

Afghanistan is sacred geography for the Hindus, says Rajiv Malhotra. He writes about the havoc that Islamic invasions caused to that cold and barren country. Afghanistan is still to recover from the after-effects of being invaded and ruled by illiterate Islamic hordes of central Asia. The only golden period in Afghanistan’s history was when it was Hindu and Buddhist.
It [...]

“Twista” Setalwad’s Twisted Defence

Setalwad’s twisted response to the report about her lies and fabrications that was published in the “Times of India” newspaper:
‘Guj govt’s, not an SIT report’

A report in TOI appearing on April 14 on Citizens of Justice and Peace and Teesta Setalvad by Dhananjay Mahapatra is a case of irresponsible  reportage. ‘‘The SIT led by former [...]

Conversion’ rankles here
Sidharth Mishra | Ranchi

Gandhi praised, Aurobindo erased?

 
A Fatherhood More Equal?
In exalting Gandhi, we’ve elbowed Sri Aurobindo into the shadows  
 
Francois Gautier on Sri Aurobindo
In this time of elections, the Congress has again claimed ownership to the Father of the Nation. But is the Mahatma, whose tremendous personality cannot be denied, indeed the architect of Indian independence, as most history books, Indian and [...]

The Church has Much to Answer for. Will the Christians Please Start Asking Questions?

Are nuns the female captives and sexual slaves of the bishops? Are they “women of the right hand” of the male clergy? Why is nothing being done for their liberation and human rights?
This Church is a Cruel Joke        
George Augustine 
 
The rotting ills of the Catholic Church have been evident in India for a long time, attracting [...]
