“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.

We have several specimens of people who call themselves Hindus:

1. Tearing-my-chest-Hindus: Firebrand Hindus whose commitment to, and faith in Hinduism is unquestionable but usually lack the intellectual rigour to defend attacks on Sanatana Dharma.
2. Intellectual Hindus: Scholarly types who are up for a good debate anytime, and are willing to defend Sanatana Dharma on the strength of their erudition.
3. Practising Hindus: May also be the scholarly types. These Hindus live Hinduism complete with all its rituals and injunctions. They may or not understand the meaning, rationale, or significance of the rituals they perform. Their commitment, too, is unquestionable.
4. Atheist Hindus: A bastardized breed that wears atheism as a proud band on its forehead. This breed very vocally proclaims that it is “nastika” because Hinduism accommodates even nastikas in its fold. This breed’s reasoning typically stems from an extensive reading of Ayn Rand and the Western conception of God and seeks to apply it to Hinduism.
5. Safe Hindus: A confused creature that shuns uncomfortable questions and justifies its stance under the guise of Sarva Dharma Samabhava (all religions/faiths are equal). This creature also describes itself variously as a “believing Hindu.”

As regards the defense and propagation of Sanatana Dharma I hold #1 as of little use, and #4 and #5 as non-Hindus. But the reason that motivated me to make this list was #5.

Enter Shashi Tharoor.

After Tibet, now it is Xinjiang. China is immigrating a lot of chinese population to Tibet and Xinjiang to deliberately change the demography and complete the process of invasion started in 1950. China also has created a fake Chinese Dalai Lama, claiming that he is the real Lama. The tibetan and Xinjiang languages are almost on the verge of extinction. The local cultures are crushed. The natives are put into menial jobs and well paid jobs are taken over by chinese. China has been methodically expanding its terroritory since long. India is not recognizing the Alexander in our neighbor.

As the old world order is getting crippled, with the western market collapse, the new world order is emerging. Brahma Chellany terms America a declining empire. And this declining empire has humoungous debts from China, meaning increasingly dependent on China. Incidentally it has been some time since China has shunned some of its Red flavors and accepted market economy and injected reforms in all sectors. With improved infrastructure, open markets, the western economic collapse and american dependence on China, China is asserting and soon will demand the dominant-power status of the World.

It beats any sane person. Why can't the proseletizers appreciatiate the local culture? Why do they have to imbalance demographies? Diversity is a way of nature. One should appreciate, respect and celebrate diversity as we do in case of natural beauty of mountains, flowers and music. Instead enforcing uniformity endangers peace and harmony.

Attached below is a link to a Christian Magazine called Charisma. Please read the article about the progress Christianity has made in India in the recent years - starts on page 26 (God's Moment for India). This is a must read article that summarizes the astonishing progress made by missionaries within the last decade. This article claims that Orissa is now 28% Christian. You should also read the article on page 6 ("They Burn Bibles in India"). There are several reasons for this astronomical success; the key reasons are the following.

1. The caste system practiced in India (and the inhuman treatment of dalits and other poorer segments of the population in some corners of the country - a country where Lord Krishna Himself once walked).

2. Money - Billions of dollars are entering the Indian society for conversion purposes. This money flow has transformed the missionary work into a homegrown movement. Read about local missionaries highlighted in the article. Evangelizing is now a well-oiled machine in India helped by corrupt politicians and media.

3. Support of political leadership (Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Y Samuel Reddy (CM of Andhra and her family along with her political subordinates)

4. Commitment of foreign missionaries to bring India to Jesus

5. Violent approach taken by many Indian groups to confront the attack on their heritage. This is not only against Dharma tradition; it only helps missionaries to raise more money by using any violent incident as a marketing tool.

6. Clinging to Manu Smriti (caste system and degrading treatment of sections of the society) and refusing to become a proselytizing religion.

At this rate the Hindu faith will become a minority faith inside India within the next few decades (it is a simple diffusion process).
