Government of Karnataka celebrated 500th anniversary of the coronation of the greatest king in Vijayanagara Empire: Krishna Deva Raya. The former Vice Chancellor of Hampi University MM Kalburgi writes an article in Indian express regarding this. Surprise! his article ridicules Krishna Deva Raya and the celebration. No wonder on people becoming suspicious on appointment of the posts like Vice-Chancellor in universities.

Sandeep dissects his article and presents the true picture on Krishna Deva Raya and the need for such celebration. Do not miss the article: The charioteer is Krishna (Deva Raya) himself.

Socio-Military-Economic Situation of Pak
SQL
[info]kaundinya
US gave 400 million dollars to Pak in 1947. That is the starting point of US engagement with Pak just at the point of creation of Pak and not a recent phenomenon. Why US invested in Pak? Obviously to gain a nation to act on its fingertips. And why would US need that? Read this brilliant article which builds up a logical consequence for all that the current Pakistan-Afghanistan is.

In this chain of events the important sovereign nations from China to Iran to Russia to Bangladesh play a role. The article also analyzes Benazir's fixation on Kashmir for the reason of a rail road. It is a good read with anecdotal style and will convince you that the chain of events (illustrated in the article) is responsible for current tragic civilian situation of Pak, Afghan situation and a headache for rest of the world.

Independent India being KRUTAGNA for Veer Savarkar

Veer Savarkar was not given his due, so says pained Lata Mangeshkar.

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/74497/India/Veer+Savarkar+did+not+get+his+due:+Lata.html

Also do not miss to see Veer Savarkar web page: http://www.savarkar.org/en/veer-savarkar

There is a hindi movie on Veer Savarkar, directed by Ved Rahi in 2001. As it did not have any songs-dance sequence, the junta haven't accepted it I guess. Is this movie anywhere available now on internet or CD?

Europe to Eurabia
SQL
[info]kaundinya
The Jihad mentality of intolerance is spreading the whole world as described in their interpretation of scriptures. Converting christian Europe to Islamic Eurabia seems not very far if you see the christian (almost atheistic / agnostic) population receding and folks from Turkey and other Islam dictated countries migrating. The Secular Turkey seems to have come under pressure from hardliners. The Imam of Turkey claiming "If the west has atom bomb, we have human bomb" shows the imminent threat to the world but who is listening? Kanchan Gupta gives a wide and contemporary review of the dynamics involved about Islam vs European culture here: http://kanchangupta.blogspot.com/2009/12/mosques-as-barracks-minarets-as.html

Switzerland bans on islamic minaret buildings. And how does the Indian media react to this? It will ask the totally ignorant Indian muslims the completely suggestive question: What is the threat to Indian Muslims from the Swiss ban on minarets? And display their words as Breaking News posing as the feeling of Indian people!
The Sandeep's article correctly captures this with instances from NDTV: http://www.sandeepweb.com/2009/12/07/vishnu-minarets-and-labelling

New RSS chief in Bangalore
SQL
[info]kaundinya
RSS definition of" hindu" is very secular though it gets attacked by business-minded english media guys. It is not a narrow minded definition of one who is not buddhist, not muslim, not christian, not jew, not jain, not sikh. The defintion says all those people of India who have inherited and follow the ancient Indian culture and knowledge. So, the current buddhists, jains, sikhs are all hindus. So what about christian and muslim? Since traditional Indian knowledge allows one to worship the Parabrahman in whatever one feels happy about (Ista Devata), they also are very much hindus. So, when next time RSS says hindus do not be under the impression of the narrow definition.

The new RSS Sarasangchalak visited Bangalore. Read http://www.sanghparivar.org/photos-and-report-of-manya-mohanjis-programme-in-banglore for a report.

Video: http://www.sanghparivar.org/

RSS also shackles the narrow definition of India and upholds the true definition of India and address as Bharat. Bharat stands for "Vishwa Bharati". RSS has a tagline of "Vasudaiva Kutumbam": the whole world is one family. Isn't this any sane person's delightful thought?

Vande Mataram fatwa slammed by true Indian Muslims
SQL
[info]kaundinya
The Muslim Rashtriya Manch has slammed the Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind for passing a resolution, which described Vande Mataram as un-Islamic and asked Muslims not to sing it.

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/muslim-organisation-slams-vande-mataram-fatwa/539079/0

 

 

“Our Muslim brothers should not follow the fatwa as Vande Mataram is the national song of the country and every Indian citizen should respect and recite it,” said Mohd Afzal, national convenor of the Manch. No person could ask anyone to stop reciting Vande Mataram, said Afzal.

 

In 2003-04, some senior Muslim Leaders had started the Nationalist Muslim Movement, which was later renamed as the Muslim Rastriya Manch in 2007. On Sunday, senior leaders of the Manch and former Sarsanghchalak of RSS K S Sudarshan met to discuss the issues that generate tension and hostility between Muslims and Hindus. To mark the first anniversary of the Mumbai terror attack, the Muslim Rashtriya Manch is going to organise an anti-terror march, known as Tiranga Yatra, in Mumbai on November 19.  A terror-free week will also be observed by the Manch from March 19 to 26 during which the message against terrorism will be spread across the country.

 

 


Action and Reaction - Modi
SQL
[info]kaundinya
Riots often occur in reaction to a perceived grievance or out of dissent. Godhra was the ghastly incident which triggered off Gujarat riots. The secular, left lib, intellectuals have gone to great extent to mis-represent the riots and misinterpret Modi's statements.

‘Kriya pratikriya ki chain chal rahi hai. Hum chahate hain ki na kriya ho aur na pratikriya. (What is happening is a chain of action and reaction. What I want is that there should be no action and no reaction).’ Asked about the violence which erupted throughout Gujarat on the day of the VHP-sponsored bandh, he said:

Godhra mein jo parson hua, jahan par chalees mahilaon aur bacchon ko zinda jala diya, is mein desh mein aur videsh mein sadma pahunchna swabhavik tha. Godhra ke is ilake ke logon ki criminal tendencies rahi hain. In logon ne pahele mahila teachers ka khoon kiya. Aur ab yeh jaghanya apraadh kiya hai jiski pratikria ho rahi hai. (It is natural that what happened in Godhra day before yesterday, where forty women and children were burnt alive, has shocked the country and the world. The people in that part of Godhra have had criminal tendencies. Earlier, these people had murdered women teachers. And now they have done this terrible crime for which a reaction is going on).
Modi's statements are given above, along with the translation. Whether taken within the context or without, there is no call for violence in Modi's remarks. Unlike Rajiv Gandhi's infamous statement (“Some riots took place in the country following the murder of Indiraji. We know the people were very angry and for a few days it seemed that India had been shaken. But, when a mighty tree falls, it is only natural that the earth around it does shake a little.”), there is no classification of violence into bad and good in Modi's statements. But the media has taken excessive liberties with truth. Here is the interpretation by our 'secular' journalists.
