Gay Ruling — Muddai Bhi Khud, Kazi Bhi Khud

I knew there was something fishy in the strage gay ruling of the high court. The judge who legalised gay sex had appeared as an advocate on behalf of an NGO that has filed a case for legalising gay sex. He should be sacked for confict of interest and hiding this information from the people.
Gay [...]

Airs of the Europeans

I think the sense of superiority in a race is directly proportional to the number of people it kills and the races it genocides. Otherwise, why would White Christians strut around with an air of “superiority”?
Does Europe have a Civilising mission in India?

Semitic Faith v/s Eastern Spirituality

Impossibility of Faith        
George Augustine 
 
If there has ever been a word and its meaning that has stumped people from the time of its origin to our own times, it is ‘faith.’ Derived from Latin fidere to trust, by the time it became ‘faith’ it had all right-thinking people treading a treacherous, slippery ground. 
Its definition as firm [...]

Kandhamal Lies of Church and ‘Secularists’ Nailed

 Kandhamal lies nailed
Saswat Panigrahi
Media and ‘secular’ political parties followed the Church in blaming ‘Hindu groups’ for last year’s violence in Kandhamal district of Orissa. The interim report of the Justice Mohapatra Commission of Inquiry nails this and other lies and exposes the role of evangelists

Eclipse of the Hindu Nation

How Gandhi and Nehru assassinated the Hindu nation. Both were a creation of the British to do their dirty work for them on the hapless Hindus.

When Savarkar was exonerated on charges of criminal conspiracy to kill Gandhi, one of the conditions during his release was that [...]

Battle of Talikota

Hauma Hamiddha’s excellent post about the Battle of Talikota in India Forum. The Vijayanagar empire disintegrated with this battle, after standing like a wall for over 250 years and preventing the entry of the Muslim armies into South India. The South Indian Hindus owe their foreskin today to the Vijayanagar empire. But what exactly happened on [...]

CNN-IBN’s hatchet job

 
New Delhi: The controversy over electronic voting machines (EVMs) has a new twist. The Election Commission has challenged a software developer to prove his claim that EVMs can be programmed to guarantee victories for particular candidates or parties.

MMS’ Balochistan Blunder. Is he a legitimate ruler?

India is currently witnessing an uproar because of the bunglings of the Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh (MMS) at the Sharm-el-Sheikh joint declaration with Pakistan. MMS has delinked any action against terror from the “composite dialogue” between India and Pakistan, and in a major blunder allowed the issue of Balochistan to be inserted into the text.

Manipulation of EVMs

I am convinced that  the recent UPA victory is the biggest hoax perpetrated on Indian citizens since Independence. Delhi state assembly elections were the “dry run” where the EVM fraud was perfected. When it was successful, the fraud was then committed on a national scale in the Parliament elections. The traitors should not be spared.

Rahul Gandhi and the Westerners

The Westerners have now begun to do to Rahul Gandhi what they did to J.L. Nehru — raise his profile strategically to increase his worth and acceptability among Indians and push him into leadership position in India. Exactly the same thing was done by them to Nehru, when he was an unknown nobody. The Westerners [...]

The Gay Rights Campaign of the US Embassy

The recent gay rights campaign was an artificial campaign that was orchestrated by the US embassy through the Times of India group. Most such activists assembling for demonstration in Delhi for gay rights were American citizens (mostly goras but many African-Americans too). The campaign was quite blatantly Western.
There is a pattern to these kinds of campaigns [...]

Was Gandhi a British Creation?

It is my firm conviction that Gandhi was a creation of the British. He was artificially propped up and promoted by the British government and the church to serve their own interests and prolong their rule in India. The British were willing to go to any extent to raise the profile of Gandhi as well [...]

Foot-in-the-Mouth Judge

India’s famous foot-in-the-mouth judge seems to have bitten more than he could chew. Of course no such apology will be forthcoming from him for his nasty comments about Hindus and Hinduism that he keeps inserting in his judgements with or without context.
For some strange reason, Katju has appointed himself as a commentator on everything under [...]

Was the 2009 election rigged?

Here is a Rediff news report that appeared today. It was mysteriously pulled within a few hours of posting it. Though the link gives the name of the story (see below), if you click on it you get an error message: “The requested page could not be found.” Seems like somebody high-up made a phone call.  Something is fishy, [...]

Caste as British Mischief

I stumbled upon a nice book recently. Pick it up if you can. It is called “Castes of Mind: Colonialism and Making of British India” and is written by Nicholas D. Burks, an American professor of history and anthropology.
The author argues that it is actually the British who invented the caste system in India through social [...]

Want to Give Women their Dignity? Whip the skin off their backs!

“Religion of peace treats women with dignity” : Old Mullah Saying.
Here is how this dignity is awarded:

Now, if the Mullahs can do all of us a favour and award some “dignity” to champagne liberals of India too, such as Burkha Dutt . . .
