Nationalism- A Negative?

When Priyanka Chopra uttered those infamous lines in her TV show, “this is a rudraksh..they are Hindu nationalists”, that one statement was enough to equate nationalists to terror! The influence the media has on on people is absolute! All of a sudden, people like Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad and others became antisocial elements who wanted the downfall of a legitimate government!

When does one say “enough bullshit”? Since when did Nationalism became a negative to be abhorred? While we appreciate the media for its positive unifying reporting (9/11 comes to mind), we also have to fault them for many an incident that should never have been reported erroneously (Godhra comes to mind). To single one community for being fervent patriots is ridiculous but it happened! To then blame the Hindus for being the reason for all ills while the peaceful community is being targeted by the Hindus shows the levels to which the media will stoop to get ratings.

Ms Chopra may, or may not, be an active participant in the scripting of the show but she didn’t do herself, and the Hindus, any favors by just blindly repeating the words above. For this, people will now boycott her movies. No she’ll not be poor (she’s made millions) but at least it will give the wannabes fodder to think on. When is enough enough?

My Response to Sitram Yechury & Other Commies

My Response To Those Who Think Hinduism Is A Violent Religion Dear Reader, I don’t know about you but my feathers were ruffled when I read comments on Hindus, more specifically about Ramayana and Mahabharat.  This irked me to the point where I decided to challenge this mindset;    those that do believe this notion should prove to me the epics are an indication of a violent society.  These bourgeois left leaning “intellectuals” have obviously not read nor understood the two epics. This is my letter them.  Please let me know if you need any new additions to this letter. Dear bourgeois Intellectual, please buy the videos by Ramanand Sagar and Yash Chopra. Firstly, you’ll see,    that The Ramayana is a book about ridding the world of dushkarmis, people that propogate violence.  That you’d target this book tells me that you’ve not read one word of this book, so let me explain in words you probably understand.  Think of the Ramayana as the Hindu’s Red Book (Communist Book by Kar

Appeasement policies and the negative effects

While the policies geared towards minority appeasement thrive, let’s look at some of the effects these have had on India: 1. It has taken the Bharat out of India. It was once a thriving society that brought humanity to the world. It was Bharat. Today, we call it India. It doesn’t reflect the proud lineage that we have but, on the contrary, reflects what we have become after all the subjugation under the Moghuls and then the British. Our ancestors lived fearlessly in a society that believed in Equality For All; we live in fear! Fear that what we have today may not be there tomorrow, forgetting that the ultimate truth can not be avoided by anyone. 2. The once proud jewel of the east had so much to offer, apart from its riches. The knowledge that our ancestors had and imparted to their disciples is now recorded as mythology. Our kids are ready to believe that when Jesus walked, the sea parted; but ask how Lord Vishnu could really come down to earth in so many forms? The only one to bla

The Power Of The Indian Populace

The country is now in the middle of the election season. All parties are going about campaigning like their lives depended on it! And why not? For most of them, this could be the last time they contest any election, as a credible political party! The likes of JDS, TMC, DMK are probably on their way out! Before detractors scream bloody murder, I said PROBABLY. The only thing that these parties are afraid off is the evolution of the New India. Gone are the days when kids listened to their parents about who was good and who was not good for the country. My grand-father, may he Rest !n Peace, was a socialist at heart. On the other hand, my dad was a Sanghi and to his last day, a few weeks ago, remained one. I didn’t grow up as a sanghi (one of my regrets) but I understood what my father said more than I did my grand-father. Kids today are much more aware of the climate within the country, political, economic and otherwise. To tell them that the country is worse off now than it was fiv
