No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.<br /><br />Our economy is in your hands....<br /><br />INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries, is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.<br /><br />More than 30,000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages, etc... which are grown, produced and consumed here.<br /><br />A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce, is sold for Rs.9 and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.<br /><br />We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only atleast for the next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the Rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future. <br /><br />What you can do about it?<br /><br />1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.<br />2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.....<br /><br />Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.<br /><br />All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.<br /><br />http://www.swadeshi.shreshthbharat.in/swadeshi-videshi/<br /><br />BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN - We are not against of foreign products.<br /><br />WE ARE NOT ANTI-MULTINATIONAL. WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR NATION. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM. WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.<br />THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING.<br /><br />MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALI ZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME, IT IS RE-COLONIZATION OF INDIA. THE COLONIST'S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME, THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.<br /><br />WHO WOULD LIKE TO LET A "GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS" SLIP AWAY? <br /><br />PLEASE REMEMBER: POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE<br /><br />RUSSIA, S.KOREA, MEXICO - THE LIST IS VERY LONG!! LET US LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND FROM OUR HISTORY. LET US DO THE DUTY OF EVERY TRUE INDIAN.<br /><br />FINALLY, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU CAN'T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE. SO GIVE UP AT LEAST ONE ITEM FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY! <br /><br />We would be sending useless forwards to our friends daily. Instead, please forward this mail to all your friends to create awareness. <br /><br />"LITTLE DROPS MAKE A GREAT OCEAN." <br /><br />PLEASE TRY TO BE AN INDIAN.....<br />http://www.swadeshi.shreshthbharat.in/Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-35848767444957068512011-10-06T08:05:00.000-07:002011-10-06T08:07:00.607-07:00The must-read Steve Jobs speech that will change your lifePublished: Thursday, Oct 6, 2011, 13:28 IST <br />Place: Washington, DC | Agency: IANS<br />Reuters<br />This is the "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish" address delivered by Steve Jobs in 2005 at Stanford University:<br /><br />I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.<br /><br />The first story is about connecting the dots.<br /><br />I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?<br /><br />It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.<br /><br />And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.<br /><br />It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:<br /><br />Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.<br /><br />None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.<br /><br />Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.<br />My second story is about love and loss.<br /><br />I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.<br /><br />I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.<br /><br />I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.<br /><br />During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.<br /><br />My third story is about death.<br /><br />When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.<br /><br />Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.<br />About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.<br /><br />I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.<br /><br />This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:<br /><br />No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.<br /><br />Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.<br /><br />When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.<br /><br />Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.<br /><br />Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.<br /><br />Thank you all very much.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-48336796793322492562011-09-03T14:22:00.000-07:002011-09-03T14:24:36.477-07:00'Yoga is a spiritual subject and should not be mixed with politicsIn this Idea Exchange, 93-year-old yoga guru BKS Iyengar speaks about Baba Ramdev, copyrighting asanas, and the ethics involved in yoga. The session was moderated by Sunanda Mehta of The Indian Express
<br />Sunanda Mehta: Yoga has become commercialised these days. Everyone seems to be packaging it.
<br />
<br />People want to stay fit and healthy and everyone is trying to take advantage of this. In a democratic country like India, you cannot do much to stop it. People who go to such institutes should be able to judge whether they are getting the right knowledge or just a pleasing methodology wrapped in nice and kind words. Honest and sincere people who have been practising yoga for ages know how difficult it is. As far as people who are making money out of yoga is concerned, I say, let them make money, but they should be honest and ethical and give 10% more than what they get. If you charge R1,000, you should give knowledge worth R1,100.
<br />
<br />Manoj More: Is Baba Ramdev’s yoga ethical? You have criticised him in the past.
<br />
<br />He is a sadhaka and I am also a sadhaka. I have not criticised him. It’s the newspapers who have done this. Recently, when a reporter asked me, ‘Can kapalbhati and bhastrika cure all diseases?’, I just laughed. You cannot say that one part of yoga is enough to keep you healthy. We are made up of 700 muscles and 300 joints. Body is mind, body is intelligence, body is conscience, so we have to train all parts of the body. Then how can you say that one part of yoga has all the remedies—yoga would then be a short and easy path. If you have knee problem, bhastrika will not be able to do anything. If the problem is of the knee joint, you need to work on your knee joint. If you have gout, pranayama cannot treat it. You have to make the blood in the knees circulate. Yoga is such a huge science.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: Do you believe a yoga exponent should come into politics?
<br />
<br />No, yoga is a spiritual subject and should not be mixed with politics.
<br />
<br />Manoj More: What is the kind of message that goes out about yoga when a yoga guru observes a fast and becomes physically unwell, critical, within six days?
<br />
<br />That means the energy was not there. You do not know what is going to be in store for you; work from now on, this is what yoga-sutra teaches you. Yoga creates a defensive strength in you, so that offensive forces will not affect you.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: Have you ever met Baba Ramdev?
<br />
<br />Several times, he has also visited my institute. He calls me Bhishmapitamaha of yoga. He has high regard for me.
<br />
<br />Nisha Nambiar: With so many people teaching different yoga techniques, how does a layman identify the correct way?
<br />
<br />When I started yoga in 1934, there were no qualified teachers of yoga because of which people had a casual knowledge of the subject. My Guruji was the kulguru of the Maharaja of Mysore and was a great Sanskrit scholar. He had moved from Nepal to Mysore. I went to him to learn yoga, as I was suffering from tuberculosis, malaria and typhoid. I had been born with influenza fever because my mother had it when she was pregnant. I could not complete my education due to health problems. When I was 17 years old, I was diagnosed with tuberculosis and the doctors had said that I would not survive. For several years, my head would hang down—I could not hold up my head. That was my condition. So it was a paralytic life and I thought it is better to die but someone introduced me to a few asanas and I started practising them. Today, I am 93 and my lungs have been examined in USA and Switzerland and they say my ribs are like that of a child. It took me eight years to understand what health was—all my diseases were cured because of and through yoga. When I started practising yoga, Dr V B Gokhale, a surgeon from Belgaum, came to see my demonstration in 1936. He said he had not seen this range of body movements in the anatomical world. He was impressed and said that once he retired, he would call my guru or his followers to Pune to teach yoga. When he retired, he approached all educational institutions in Pune and requested them to contribute R8 a month. The total collection was around R60. Classes began in Pune with this money. The institutions carried on teaching yoga for three years, but later stopped, saying they had no funds.
<br />
<br />Manoj More: You spoke about how ill you were as a young man. So you managed to defy medical science with yoga?
<br />
<br />It happened that way. But things would have gone wrong if I had practised some wrong asanas. Having gone through so much suffering, I was extra cautious when I came to teach yoga in Pune. What is good and what is harmful? If something goes wrong, what happens to yoga? These fears guided me to be extra cautious while teaching. Today, you find yoga centres in every corner, but in those days, we could not earn even a single meal by teaching yoga. No one had respect for it during the 1930s. That’s when I thought I had to transform people’s attitude to yoga and give it the respect it deserves.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: Why doesn’t Iyengar yoga believe in having franchises?
<br />
<br />In my institute, I have got students of five generations. I am not a preacher, teaching students here today and then going elsewhere the next day. By the time I come back, students would have forgotten whatever they have learned. What I am creating is for generations.
<br />
<br />Garima Mishra: In the past few years, the concept of power yoga has gained popularity.
<br />
<br />Power yoga is nothing new. It is something that I used to teach in my early days in various schools and colleges. It’s just a methodology that I used to give the students for them to recollect the positions and the movements related to various asanas. In fact, if you read the yoga magazines of UK, you will know how I was attacked for this practice and how I survived the attack.
<br />
<br />Nisha Nambiar: What is the utility of shirshasana? Can it be practised by anyone?
<br />
<br />The basic utility is that it supplies blood to the brain. But I would be a fool to teach shirshasana to a person without checking if his body is ready for it or not.
<br />
<br />Manoj More: What are your eating habits and routine?
<br />
<br />I sleep three hours a day and practise yoga for four hours. I also work on my books from 2 pm to 6 pm. I am a vegetarian and eat thrice a day, but within limits. My meal comprises chapatti, vegetable and some rice. I drink tea too. In fact, when I visited the US in 1954, I would survive only on bread and coffee, as it was hard to find vegetarian food. The very people who called me a grass-eater then and who would drink a lot, took to vegetarianism. They were shocked to see how I could work 10 hours a day without fatigue. Their way of living went through a complete change.
<br />
<br />Ishfaq Naseem: Is yoga thought-driven?
<br />
<br />I do not teach yoga psychologically. I teach neurologically and biologically. I don’t induce peace of mind through words and language; I say, do it. Biological changes take place and these changes are permanent. The elixir of life is hidden inside, you have to tap it more and more. That is what yoga teaches you.
<br />
<br />It does not give you medicine to treat diseases.
<br />
<br />Anuradha Mascarenhas: Does yoga help in losing weight?
<br />
<br />Yoga is not a weight-loss programme. It helps you to live a natural life. It gives you a fresh mind. What more do you want?
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: Two names in Pune have always attracted foreigners—Rajneesh and Iyengar.
<br />
<br />I knew Rajneesh even before he became popular, his father was my student. He used to come to Pune from Jabalpur once a year for Buddha Jayanti. He was the orator of the 20th century. Once, someone told me (referring to Osho and me) that there are two bhagwans in Pune. I said, we are not bhagwans, we are bhagvatas, servants of God.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: You are known to be a stern teacher.
<br />
<br />No, I am not a stern teacher. I am just an intense teacher. I guide my students to use their intelligence in the right direction.
<br />
<br />Pranav Kulkarni: When you introduced props, you were criticised a lot saying it is not pure form of yoga.
<br />
<br />Now all the centres are using it and they are still criticising it. That’s what makes me laugh.
<br />
<br />Sushant Kulkarni: Can yoga work for someone who is not willing to take it?
<br />
<br />That’s why the props are there.
<br />
<br />Anuradha Mascarenhas: Yoga helps alleviate pain, but patients of chronic back pain continue to suffer. Apart from yoga, do you also advise other therapeutic forms like pilates? Is the institute involved in conducting clinical research with hospitals?
<br />
<br />Yoga teaches how to release the mind from contact with other parts of the body. Yoga provides a way to make you live a natural life. Scientific research has also proved that yoga is helpful in relieving pain.There is a compilation of scientific evidence on the therapeutic efficacy of Iyengar yoga.
<br />
<br />Sushant Kulkarni: There have been experiments such as including yoga in the routine of jail inmates.
<br />
<br />I am not a publicity seeker, but I was the first person to teach yoga in Manchester jail and I succeeded. I did the same in USA in 1956.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: The government wants to copyright 13,000 asanas. What is your opinion on this?
<br />
<br />They have not yet done it. But who are we to copyright them? We are not the originators of these asanas. Old-age rishis are the originators, the royalty should go to them, not us. Secondly, I feel that knowledge should be open to all so copyrighting asanas is something I don’t agree with.
<br />
<br />Nisha Nambiar: After your recent China visit, you said you will no longer travel to another country.
<br />
<br />From 1954 to 2011, I have travelled the world over around 50 times. That was required to spread the knowledge about yoga. I have done my job.
<br />
<br />Anuradha Mascarenhas: During your China visit, you also said China may overtake India in yoga.
<br />
<br />The Chinese are deep into yoga. The contact that was lost between India and China for the last 1,500 years has got renewed now. This meeting was supposed to be government-to-government to celebrate 60 years of the relationship between the two. The government of China wanted something educative and interesting like yoga. Our government suggested someone’s name but the Chinese insisted that they wanted only me. They also issued a stamp on me, though the Indian government has not done so till now.
<br />
<br />Pupul Chatterjee: Is there a connection between vegetarianism and yoga?
<br />
<br />Not at all, it’s a misconception. But once you get into yoga, you may not want to eat non-vegetarian food. These days, people eat through their brains and not through their stomach. Yoga transforms the system.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: How come you never thought of expanding your institute in all these years?
<br />
<br />Even though I am known as a yoga practitioner, my idea is to propagate yoga and not build a centre and spread my name. I have been doing a lot of philanthropic work but I don’t want any publicity. There was no primary school in my village Belur (Karnataka), children used to smoke beedis as their parents used to smoke and drink. I built a school there in 1968. In the year 2007, I built another school that has 350 students. This year, many children said Bangalore was too far for them to attend college, so I am building a college now.
<br />
<br />Pranav Kulkarni: What is the story behind adopting a tiger?
<br />
<br />My villagers wanted me to celebrate my 90th birthday with them, to which I agreed. From there, I was invited to Mysore zoo. The authorities told me there were two tigers, Brahma and Anusuiyya, who were very ferocious and hadn’t been adopted by anyone. They requested me to adopt them as it was my birthday. It takes R1 lakh a year to maintain a tiger. I agreed.
<br />
<br />Sunanda Mehta: You have a list of celebrities as your students. Are cricketers on that list?
<br />
<br />Yes, I have also written a book on yoga for cricketers, but I don’t know why they have not published it. The book was written around three years ago. They had requested me to write this book. I have included asanas for cricketers that will keep them alert and fresh on the field.
<br />
<br />Nisha Nambiar: Is it that the West is taking more to yoga than Indians nowadays?
<br />
<br />It became international only after renowned violinst Yehudi Menuhin started practising and gained from it. The violinist had several neurological problems and he could not play the violin. I worked on him and he improved. He invited me to Switzerland to teach yoga to other musicians too. Even J Krishnamurti learnt from me.
<br />
<br />Manoj More: Do you fear death?
<br />
<br />No, not at all. God has given me a 70-year bonus, why should I fear death?

This brainwashing is due to inferiority complex and slave mentality. No. 1 - “All religions are same and we Hindus accept all religions” Hindus should ask themselves, if all religions are same then why do we need Hindu temples? Go to church and mosque and worship. Those who talk like this, have never studied other religions. Let us think logically. Logically thinking, it is impossible to accept all religions. If one accepts Christianity or Islam, she or he has to reject all other religions as the Abrahamic faiths are exclusive religions. So logically it is impossible to accept all religions. One follower of Ramkrishna Mission came to me and argued saying that Shri Ramkrishna tried all religions and proved that one can achive high status through all religions. So I asked simple question “ Suppose Shri Ramkrishna would have tried other religions (read Christianity and Islam) from childhood without any knowledge of Hindu Shastra, so you think he would have achieved higher spiritual status?” My question hit at the root of his pseudo-intelligence. All blind idealism he was taught evaporated and he said probably not. Actually according to Swargasth Ram Swaroop, Ramkrishna never tried. He said these were demonic ways. But suppose he tried. Then with all due respect to Ramkrishna, there is logical fallacy in his claim. If “A” taught me driving so that I can drive any city in India. Now if “B” teaches me driving, I can not give him credit because I already know. To give him a credit I have to go back to my ignorant state when I didn’t know driving. But that’s impossible. Unlike computer memory we can not wipe mental memory. Shri Ramkrishna achieved high spiritual status through Hindu Dharma. So there is nothing more to achieve to give credit to others. If Ramkrishna wanted to give credit to others he had to go to his ignorant state and start practicing other religions. But that’s again impossible, so his claim is logically false. When confronted, the so called broad minded Hindus say we should take good things from other religions. I fail to understand why. If my plate is full of delicious food and I get endless supply of food why should I look at some body’s plate? Similarly my Hindu Dharma gives me endless supply of spiritual food why should even think to look at other systems. We Hindus are constantly bombarded with these illogical concepts. Then they argue about Vedic concept -- Truth is one and sages called with different names. But those names are within Vedic system as there was no other system. We have no right to alter our Vedic concept and introduce names from other systems. No 2: “There is diversity in Hindu Dharma” To justify various sects within Hindu fold, this is standard argument. So I asked some Hindus very simple question. I asked there are so many names that are mentioned in Hindu Scriptures like Nal, Damayant, Swetketo, Vashistha, etc. Which organization or sect they belong to? They paused for a moment and said they all belong to Sanatan Dharma. So I said if original scripture had diversity we would have thousands of sects during that period. They couldn’t argue further. Now let us analyze. Sage Vashishtha was King Dashrath’s Rajguru yet King Dashrath did not start Vashistha mission. Sage Viswamitra also had equal authority in Dasharath’s court. If a fellow from Chinmay mission goes to Hare Krishna he or she won’t be given microphone to talk. Dasharath couldn’t say to Vishamitra that this is Vashishtha mission. Not only that, but Vishvamitra took Ram and Laxman (even they were teenagers) with him to fight demons. Viswamitra had that much authority even though he wasn’t Dasharath’s Rajguru. Vishvamitra had tough fight with sage Vashistha. He constructed separate heaven for King Trishanku against wishes of all devatas and Sages yet he did not start separate Viswamitra Mission. Arjun was first human being to listen Geeta directly from Bhagvan Krishna yet he did not start International Society of Krishna Consciousness. In king Janak’s court all sages were given equal respect. So where is diversity? The reason there was no diversity is ideological unity. There were different ashrams in which students were given knowledge of self and supreme self. But they didn’t have different interpretations. Like student of science and mathematics meet they have same understandings, because they understand truth. Now truth can not have different interpretations. So ideological unity was preserved. If we understand truth we have unity. But now so many sects have different interpretations of Hindu scriptures as they didn’t understand truth. Otherwise how can they have differences? One may argue we have so many gods and goddesses also so many books in Hindu Dharma. Is it not diversity? Answer is no. I will express my thoughts about this in another article. No. 3 – “There is tolerance in Hinduism. Hinduism teaches Love and Nonviolence.” Hinduism never said to tolerate nonsense. When 60,000 sons of Sagar tried to play with Kapil Muni they were immediately burnt to death. When Shishupal started abusing Shri Krishna, he was given limit. When he crossed the limit of 100 abuses he was killed even it was only verbal abuse. Attack on Dharma or on sages was never tolerated. Now business of love and nonviolence. One sided love and nonviolence do not work. There is a very old joke. One man visits his friend and finds friend’s dog was barking. His friend says “Come in. He won’t bite. Don’t you know the proverb that barking dogs never bite?” Man said “Yes I know the proverb” Friend then ask “Then why are you afraid?” Man says “Well, I know the proverb but does that dog know the proverb?” So we talk about love and nonviolence what about other side? Do they treat us the same way? We are told that if we are good then the world will be good to us. History says other way. What happened to Prithvi Raj? We are also told that whoever digs will fall in it. Again it hardly happens Most of the time digger is successful making us fall. Besides why should we allow someone to dig when land belongs to us. We Hindus live in make belief ideal dream world that doesn’t exist in reality. And we use this to escape from issues and challenges we face. It is nothing but self denial. We are told that two wrongs don't make right. But atleast it gives the message to other side that this side also can be wrong so behave yourself. Otherwise one side will get continious beating as Hindus have suffered for 1000 years. Another thing. Gandhiji said that eye for an eye will make whole world blind. But then blind eye will suffer eternally. These type of thinking is nothing but pacifying Hindus. No body tells otherside the same thing.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-23852513864822852692011-05-06T21:04:00.001-07:002011-05-06T21:04:56.125-07:00Modern Ten CommandmentsTRUISMS<br /> <br /><br />Someone has written these beautiful words. One must read and try to understand the deep meanings in them. They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time. <br /><br />1] Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble; it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path throughout life. <br /><br />2] Do you know why a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on. <br /><br />3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write. <br /><br />4] All things in life are temporary. If going well enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry, they can't last long either. <br /><br />5] Old friends are like Gold! New friends are Diamonds! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a base of Gold! <br /><br />6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!" <br /><br />7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities. <br /><br />8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision." <br /><br />9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them; and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you. <br /><br />10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES; it takes away today’s PEACE.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-1080162085985096072011-04-30T18:11:00.001-07:002011-04-30T18:11:55.656-07:00Laughter yoga: Making fun of life since ’95<br />Published: Sunday, May 1, 2011, 3:54 IST <br />By Apoorva Dutt & Shabana Ansari | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA<br /><br /> <br />“Laughter and yoga are a strange combination, because laughter is about spontaneity, and yoga is about control,” says 26-year-old Sameer Bhattacharya, summing up his feelings neatly when asked about this form of group therapy. But on the occasion of World Laughter Day, sceptics like Bhattacharya are in a minority.<br />Mumbai’s chapter of the International Laughter Yoga Club was begun by physician Madan Kataria in 1995.<br /><br />It was in March that year when Kataria, who was researching an article on the benefits of laughter, realised the “medical and social” benefits of laughter. So, instead of letting his findings disappear in an academic quagmire, he and his wife decided to apply his findings. At a garden in the Lokhandwala Complex, he started with four people a form of therapy that would, in time, result in more than 7,000 laughter clubs in the country, and 3,000 overseas.<br /><br />The exercises include the namaskar laughter, the kite laughter, the penguin laughter, the argument laughter, and many more.<br /><br />“People are initially very embarrassed to be partaking in this exercise,” explains Kataria. “But your body can’t differentiate between real and fake laughter. So the health benefits are still manifested.” The physician recounts the example of a 75-year-old man who, once he had experienced the benefits of laughter therapy, declared the first day at the laughter club to be his new birthday.<br /><br />This therapy finds its most avid fans amongst the elderly or people facing daily work stress. “As you get older, you forget to laugh,” says 48-year-old Siddharth Mahajan, a businessman. “At first, I felt so stupid laughing at nothing, and everyone was staring at me. But I kept coming back. The day would start on such a great note, no matter what happened at work after that, I remained calm.”<br /><br />On the other hand, some admit to not understanding the appeal. “I attended a class, for fun,” says college student Neha Gargotia. “I didn’t feel any different after the class. I much prefer physical yoga.” But Kataria maintains, “Only those are skeptics who haven’t made this therapy a part of their life. Laughter yoga is scientifically proven to be effective.”Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-64191470668755633462011-04-24T07:08:00.000-07:002011-04-24T07:10:11.388-07:00Over 15,028 references to Hindu Gods in the Sikh Granth SahibThe Guru Granth Sahib contains around 15,028 of references to Hindu concepts and the names of Hindu gods. <br /><br />A near-exact count is given in K.P. Agrawala: Adi Shrî Gurû Granth Sâhib kî Mahimâ (Hindi: “The greatness of the original sacred Guru scripture”), p.2, and in Ram Swarup: “Hindu roots of Sikhism”, Indian Express, <br /><br />The name of the Hindu god Shri Ram, is recited 2,400 times, (the gods name whose constant repetition leads to salvation). <br /><br />Hari (Vishnu) over 8,300 times, 630 times by Guru Nanak alone, <br /><br />Parabrahman, 550 times, Omkara, (the primeval sound of OM) 400 times. <br />Please note the names of countless other Hindu gods are also mentioned and are one and the same. <br /><br />In contrast the name Mohammed is never mentioned and the name allah is used but a couple of times, merely as an example. It is interesting to note that the Granth itself contains banis from seven of the sikh gurus, two muslim Sufis, but EIGHTEEN Hindu saints and pandits. <br /><br />The religious source of Sikhism is Hinduism, Sikhism is a tradition developed within Hinduism. Guru Granth Sahib reflect Vedantic philosophy, the Vedanta of Rishi Vedvyas who wrote the Mahabharat. The Japji Sahib is based on Upanishads. <br /><br /><br />Summary : <br /><br />IN 1500 , Guru Nanak Dev Ji ( 1469-1538 ad.), went to bathe in a stream and was missing for three days.His first statement when he came out was “neti, neti " (neither here, nor there from the Upanishads-Vedas) na koi hindu, na koi turkh, kudrat keh hain sab bandey". <br /><br />...three days is a short time if you want to free yourself from acquired physics and start a new religion... the insight with which he came back with after three days retreat, as quoted by Khushwant Singh was entirely within Hindu tradition: <br /><br />" their is no muslim, no hindu" it does not mean that I Nanak, am neither hindu or muslim, it means that the self ( atma , timeless indweller, the object of this mystical experience) is beyond worldly divisions.... <br /><br />”the self is neither black nor white, neither hindu nor muslim, neither this nor that : neti, neti ,” is the Upanishadic phrase from the Vedas, is as typically Hindu as you can get’’ <br /><br />Guru Nanak Dev Ji, continued the bhakti methods of the saints before him, starting with the oral repetition of the name "Rama Nama' <br /><br />If Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s discovery " neither hindu nor muslim" had meant a positive conclusion, wouldn’t he have said: "neither Hindu, nor Muslim , sab Sikh? <br /><br />It is strange that the statement used by many to say, he founded a new religion does not even mention this new religion? <br /><br /><br /><br />Ek Om Kar, was already there in the Vedas - Hindu text, it is still there today. Ek = single OM = supreme being KAR= sound. Guru Nanak merely emphasised that particular path. Ek Om Kar is originally a Hindu concept. some Sikh separatists like to say EK ‘ON’KAR! what does ‘on’ mean? <br /><br /><br />Guru Angad was a devoted worshipper of the Goddess Durga. Every year he used to lead a group of devotees from Khadur Sahib, where he had settled, to the temple of Jwalamukhi in the lower Himalayas. In 1532 ad he met Guru Nanak at Kartarpur (pakistan) on his way to Jwalamukhi and became his disciple. Guru Nanak was most impressed with the devotion and selfless services of Lehna, that he proclaimed him as his successor guru in ad1539. As Nanak had previously embraced him, and because of the touch with his body e.g. "ang", he changed the name of Lehna to Angad, Guru Angad made Khadur sahib his headquarters. Humayun, the Mughal emperor called on him here and paid him homage. <br /><br /><br />Sikhs were always known as a sect of Hinduism, which is why they continued celebrating traditional Hindu festivals such as Rakhri, Diwali, Lohri, Vaisakhi, Dusshera and Holi. Unlike the Hindus who became known as muslims and started celebrating muslim festivals. If indeed the Gurus wanted to create a new religion, would they not have created religious festivals to coincide and mark this new religions separate? <br /><br /><br />The fourth guru, Ram Das (1574-1581a.d ), excavated a tank which subsequently became known as Amritsar (pool of nectar) and gave its name to the city that grew around it. in due course, a splendid edifice, Har-mandir (temple of Hari-Vishnu), rose in the middle of this tank and became the supreme centre of the sikh sect of hinduism <br />------ <br /><br />Instead, All ten Gurus marriages were conducted by Hindu pandits and they were married within Hindu rituals, as were other Sikhs until the Anand Karaj Act was passed in 1909. <br /><br />The Laava written by the fourth Guru Ram Dass were about mans spiritual union wiv god, which can never be BROKEN, not about a union between man and woman! <br />------ <br /><br />Hindus and the Hindus who later became known as Sikhs, would worship together at Hari(Vishnu)-mandir Sahib, aptly named by the fourth guru Ram Dass,(1574-1581), it housed murtis of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and the 6th Guru Harigobind until 1906 and is today known as the golden temple. <br /><br /><br /><br />Some closed minded bigots refer to Hindus as Idol worshippers, but Idol worshiping is truly something that we do not do, we worship with great vigor, with heart and soul. <br /><br />Idol-worshipping is an offensive and derogatory term used by the British during the British Raj through shear ignorance to degrade our ancient religion. We use Murtis to help us worship we do not specifically worship these images, we use these as focal points to help us worship god<br />Arjun101<br />13th July 2007, 03:04 PM<br />1.

I will also provide quotes from the Dasam Granth, written by Guru Govind Singh Ji himself, and despite what some may say, the authenticity of this work has been proved BEYOND a shadow of a doubt, as the gurus work. The most damning proof being the fact that the original still lies in the Akhal Thakt to this day. <br /><br /><br />The Guru Granth Sahib contains around 15,028 of references to Hindu concepts and the names of Hindu gods. <br /><br /><br /><br />A near-exact count is given in K.P. Agrawala: Adi Shrî Gurû Granth Sâhib kî Mahimâ (Hindi: “The greatness of the original sacred Guru scripture”), p.2, and in Ram Swarup: “Hindu roots of Sikhism”, Indian Express, <br /><br />The name of the Hindu god Shri Ram, is recited 2,400 times, (the gods name whose constant repetition leads to salvation). <br /><br />Hari (Vishnu) over 8,300 times, 630 times by Guru Nanak alone, <br /><br />Parabrahman, 550 times, Omkara, (the primeval sound of OM) 400 times. <br />Please note the names of countless other Hindu gods are also mentioned and are one and the same. <br /><br />In contrast the name Mohammed is never mentioned and the name allah is used but a couple of times, merely as an example.

Guru Granth Sahib reflect Vedantic philosophy, the Vedanta of Rishi Vedvyas who wrote the Mahabharat. The Japji Sahib is based on Upanishads. <br /><br /><br />Guru Nanak Ji wrote in the Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Malaar, Pa.1279 thus: <br /><br /><br />‘BRAHMA, VISHNU, MAHESH [SHIVA] the three demigods were expanded into [by God]. <br />He gave BRAHMA the VEDAS and involved them in it’s worship. <br />Ten Avatars did king RAMA [VISHNU] take. <br />He attacked and killed demons but all in accordance with God’s command. <br />God did SHIVA serve but he too did not find his limits. <br />Attaining true value he created his [heavenly] throne. <br />He has set the world to task and concealed himself. <br />He makes all function this Karma is divinely ordained.’ <br /><br /><br />(‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Malaar, Pa.1279) <br />This is entirley reminiscent of what is stated in the Mahabharata, where it was written by Rishi Vedvyas Ji that God who is referred to as Omkar or Parbrahma, converted Himself into Lord Vishnu. Out of Lord Vishnu's navel came Lord Brahma and from His forehead came the Akal Pursh (otherwise known as Akal or Lord Shiva ) . <br /><br /><br />When Vishnu, Brahma and Akal combined their powers, or shaktis, to create the image of the Mother goddess it was Durga who came forth. Durga is also known as Shiva, Devi, Mata, Parvati, Chamunda, and Jwaladevi. Guru Govind Singh was a great devotee of Durga Mata, and wrote the prayer known as Chandi Ki Vaar in her praise. <br /><br /><br />Guru Nanak spoke to a Vaishnav Hindu (‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Thiti Gauri, Pa.300) thus : <br />‘He who focuses his mind on God is a Vaisnu [follower of VISHNU] He is a man of great knowledge. <br />He is a warrior of a high clan who worships Bhagwant [God/VISHNU]. <br /><br /><br />Be they Khatri, Shudar, Vaise or a Chandal [Four castes of Hinduism] by contemplating God they are saved from vice. <br />They who ever have acknowledged God, Nanak asks for the dust of their feet. <br />(‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Thiti Gauri, Pa.300) <br /><br /><br />The third Sikh Guru Amardas said of a true Sanatan Brahmin (‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Gujri, Pa.512) thus: <br />‘He who appreciates BRAHM [God] call him a Brahmin, he day and night stays absorbed in Har [God]. <br />He lives in accordance within the will of the true Guru, truth and Sanjam [self-restraint] he practices thus his ailment of ego flees.’ (‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Gujri, Pa.512)<br />Arjun101<br />13th July 2007, 03:09 PM<br />Guru Angad Dev said to a Brahmin (Guru Granth Sahib’, Sukhmani Sahib, Pa.274-275): <br />‘He is a true Pundit [Brahmin] who awakens his mind. <br />And searches for the Naam [ineffable name of] RAAM [God] in himself. <br />From the teachings of such a Pundit all beings find [spiritual] life. <br />He transplants the story of Har in their hearts. <br />Such a Pundit then never again is born. <br />He appreciates the fundamental truth [God] of the VEDAS, PURAANAS and SIMIRITIA [Hindu religious texts]. <br />He appreciates the subtle/sublime within the great expansive World. <br />He instructs the four castes [without discrimination]. <br />Such a Pundit say’s Nanak I always salute.’ <br />(Guru Granth Sahib’, Sukhmani Sahib, Pa.274-275) <br /><br /><br />In the entire Guru Granth Sahib, the Vedas are respected and referred to as sacred. <br />Guru Nanak Ji said (Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Kanra, Pa.1309): <br /><br /><br />‘All ways be humble before the Bhagats being humble you will attain merit. <br />A evil person who slanders the Bhagats will be destroyed like Harnyaksh. <br />BRAHMA, son of a lotus [BRAHMA emerged from a lotus symbol of order out of chaos] VYAS [One of the greatest of Sanatan sages to whom were revealed the Sanatan scriptures VEDAS and Mahabharat epic with Bhagvad GITA. VYAS is also credited with the authorship of the oldest extent commentary on the source book of Hatha Yoga, ‘Pantanjali’s Yoga Sutra’, the, ‘Yoga-Bhashya’. In the Mahabharat he is recognised as the foremost master and expert on Yoga.] Born of a fish [Symbol of agitated mind] by devotion of highest God they themselves were worshiped. <br />Whoever are Bhagats respect them your great doubts and fears will thus flee. <br />Do not consider the cast of a Bhagat Sukdev [A Brahmin] grasping the feet of Jank [A Khashatriya king father of Sita hence lower cast than Sukdev] as Guru worshiped highest God. <br /><br /><br />Janak who sat on a throne on seeing the nine [Vedic] holy sages himself fell at their feet [Because they were Bhagats of highest God]. <br />Say’s Nanak bless me oh bless me master [Va-eh Guru] make me the servant of your servants [The Bhagats such as PRAHLAD, BRAHMA, VYAS, SUKHDEV, JANK, nine sages etc.]<br /><br />Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Kanra, Pa.1309) <br />Guru Ramdas ( wore the Vaishnav tilak) spoke of the Gurmukhs of the past thus: <br />‘The Sidhas [Holy Sanatan sages] meditated and contemplated [God] Sadik and Muni [both aforementioned are Sanatan holy men] contemplated [God]. <br />Men of penance, sexual restraint and contentment contemplated [God] demigods such as INDRA [King of demigods] contemplated [God]. <br />The Gurmukh who seeking God’s protection contemplates him attains salvation. <br />Oh my mind by contemplation of Gods Naam one is saved. <br /><br /><br />Dhanna a Jatt [Farming clan of northern India] and Balmikh [Composer of RAMAYANA] a highwayman becoming a Gurmukh was saved. <br />The demigods, Gan [Followers of Shiva], Gandarb [Beings between demigods and men who are believed to sing for the Indian demigods] contemplate [God] as well as even the poor Dharmraj [demigod who judges dead for God according to Indian religions]. <br />SHIVA, BRAHMA all demigods contemplated with their mouths the name Har Har. <br />They who have been absorbed in God's name those Gurmukh attained salvation.’<br /><br />(‘Guru Granth Sahib’, Raag Maru, Pa.995) <br />Shabads on Hanuman Ji inside Guru Granth Sahib Ji here is one.

It is also called Chaitra Vishu for this reason. The occasion is said to be an auspicious one because, at this time, the sun enters the sign Aries of· the Zodiac. The people call the occasion Chaitra Vishu Punyakalam or, the sacred occasion<br /><br />Gift a Pooja for Tamil New Year Gift a Pooja for UGADI <br />The reason why the people in India compute the Indian year from this month when the sun enters Aries -- the ram in the signs of the Zodiac -- is said to be one philosophically derived from the science of cosmo-genesis. The Sanskrit word for 'ram' is aja which means 'that which is not born.' Therefore the sign of the Zodiac under reference stands for the ultimate cause of everything, and consequently the month in which the sun enters this sign is rightly considered to be the first month of the year. From time immemorial, the Hindu conception of an ideal life has been one of sacrifices and religious observances. Thus the information regarding the appropriate time for the observance of particular rites or ceremonies becomes important. This information is furnished by the Hindu astrologers and astronomers in the form of a calender called panchangams.<br /><br /><br /> <br />In ancient times books were very rare and even cudjan leaf manuscripts were not easily available to the vast majority of the people of a village; only the chief priest of the village held a copy of the precious manuscript and it was his duty to apprise the people in his village of the date of observance of a particular festival or Vrata. But in the beginning of the year the people desire to know the position of the various planets with reference to the sun and its effects on men, animals and plants. They also want to know whether the position of the planets would bring them rains in the proper seasons. So the custom of calculating and predicting the planetary influence over the earth through such astrological studies came in vogue.<br />The days are generally hot and sultry in the month of Chithirai. When a large number of people assemble at a particular place in hot weather, something must be done to counter it. Thus arose the custom of presenting people with cool drinks and fans. On this festive day people eat margosa flowers, fried or rather charred and mixed with sugar. Apart from the medicinal effect which this preparation has, we may say that this flower belongs to this season and is thus recognised as the harbinger of the coming season.<br /><br />Tamilians of southen India arrive at their new year day in accordance with the movement of the sun and it is the astronomical year which marks the vernal equinox. The Telugu and the Kannada-speaking people follow the lunar or the luni-solar systems, which precedes the Tamil new year. The Malayalis of the west coast follow an agricultural year which is known as Kollam Andu, commencing in September when the sun enters the autumnal equinox. It is in this part of the west coast of southern India that very heavy rains fall for nearly nine months in the year.<br /><br />Though the day commencing each month is considered to be auspicious yet special importance is attached to the occasions, Chaitra Vishu, Tula Ravi, Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. The solar year commences from the sun's entrance into aries -- the ram. The beginnings of the solar months are determined by the entry of the sun into the other zodiacal signs.<br /><br />The solar years are recorded in the era of the Kaliyuga. Its years are converted into those of the Christian era by subtracting 3101, from the number of complete years that have lapsed since the beginning of the Kaliyuga. Similarly, the corresponding complete year of the Kaliyuga passed, is arrived at by adding 3101 to the Christian year. Further, by adding 3044 to the year in the Vikrama era and 3179 to the year in the Saka era the corresponding Kaliyuga year is arrived at. The lunar month Chandrayanam as opposed to the solar one Sourayanam is reckoned from the full moon to the full moon. It is invariably determined by the beginning of the bright fortnight of the month, but takes the name of the solar month in which the full moon occurs. Each month consists of two halves called 'pakshas' and each half is a fortnight in the month. The Sukla paksha or the bright fortnight is the period of the waxing moon while Krishna paksha or the dark fortnight is that of the waning moon. Each of these pakshas again consists of fifteen tithis. A tithi is the time required by the moon to increase its distance from the sun westward by twelve degrees of the zodiac.<br /><br />As the true motions of the sun and the moon vary with their positions in their orbits the length or duration of a tithi is also variable. There are names given to these tithis of the fortnight and the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight is called the Purnamlisi tithi or the full moon, while the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight goes by the name Amavasya tithi or the new moon. In fact, the full moon and the new moon mark the end bright and dark fortnights of the month respectively.<br /><br />It is also said that the Chaitra Vishu day or the opening day of the first fortnight of the waxing moon was the occasion chosen by Brahma to create this world. Hence this day is also known as yugadhi or the beginning of a yuga. This festive day is said to have acquired further importance by the fact that Sri Ramachandra, the hero of the epic Ramayana, had his triumphal entry into Ayodhya after the destruction of the rakshasas, and was crowned there on this day. There is also an allegorical myth regarding the origin of the Hindu cycle of sixty years and it is in brief as follows:<br /><br />The sage Narada once betrayed a desire for worldly pleasures and in consequence had to take birth in this mortal world as a woman. He is said to have given birth to sixty children and the Hindu cycle of sixty years is said to have had its origin from those children. The Hindus believe that the twelve signs of the Zodiac represent twelve planets in the solar system. These planets and centres of consciousness are in the mighty cosmic deity or intelligence called Kalapurusha. In fact, the planets are said to be his head, face, breast, belly, navel, abdomen, genitals, teeth, eyes, knees, ankles and feet.<br /><br />The Indian calendar is named panchangam since it is comprised of five limbs, and they are (1) the tithi, (2) the varam, (3) the nakshatram, (4) the yogam and (5) the karanam. A man desiring prosperity pays attention to the tithi. One desirous of long life understands everything about varam or the days of the week. The nakshatrams are resorted to, for expiating sin and the yogam for obtaining immunity from diseases. The karanam is said to secure success for the observer in all his undertakings. Thus, a proper understanding of planetary influences is essential for controlling them. Hence has arisen the proverb 'wise Inen rule the stars’.<br /><br />The story is that once upon a time saint Narada, the celestial celebate, saw a pair of fish in conjugal happiness, while bathing in the sacred Ganges. His passions were excited and he felt a desire to lead a married life. The happiness of a family and the pleasure of children playing about, and a thousand and one things which make life enjoyable, templed even this citadel of celibacy, this ever-youthful ascetic. He made up his mind to give up his brahmacharya and lead the life of a householder. But, he thought, who would give him a wife, and, besides, he had no money to expend on the costly ceremony. What should he do? The best course was to go to Krishna, the king of Dwaraka, and the husband of sixteen thousand one hundred and eight wives! The Lord of Dwaraka could easily spare one, and would not miss her! And he was so fabulously rich that he could easily pay all the expenses! This unholy thought affected the sanctity of the great saint to a certain extent. God, however, felt himself bound to satisfy every desire of his devotees, and Narada stood at the top of them all! All-pervading Vishnu, therefore, organised a counterplot. He took no offence even at so insulting a proposal. Noticing that Narada laid much stress on the large number of his wives and hinted at the impossibility of one man meeting them every day, he asked the saint to go round his houses and to pick up that woman with whom he was not living. Poor Narada! He was not in his senses.<br /><br />He took the bait, and actually went round the whole city, but in every house that Narada visited he found Krishna there, either playing with the children or enjoying the company of his wife in a thousand and one ways. Always happy, always jolly, always in the enjoyment of the highest blessing, possible a married man! That sight still more excited the passions of. Narada. He was still thinking how to get a wife when his time for prayer came. As he always bathed and repeated his prayers very punctually, he involuntarily went to the Ganges to bathe. Narada was thinking of going again to Krishna for a wife when he rook another dip, and on coming up to the surface of the water was astonished to see that he was turned into a woman! she got out of the stream and was going to change her wet clothes, when, lo! a big, tall, stout, manly, good-looking sanyasi accosted her. He caught her (Naradi as she must hence be called) by the hand, took her to a cottage and a marriage-by-capture followed. She gave birth to sixty sons one after another, every year! Worried, exhausted, fatigued, bored to death by these numerous sons, at the end of the sixtieth year she involuntarily prayed to Lord Vishnu to relieve her of this worldly misery! Repentance did not come too late for the 1ong, eternal (free from death) life of Narada ! The sanyasi disappeared and there appeared in his place the glorious Lord of the Universe, god Vishnu, with four hands, holding sankha, chakra,gada and padma and said: 'What are your wishes, O eminent woman? They shall be granted!' Naradi looked aghast, looked at the lord again, wiped her eyes and said: 'You know it, my lord. Fool that I was, I thought married life was a bed of roses, full of. happiness and pleasures. Save me, my lord!'<br /><br />'Rise, dear Narada, rise!' was the response. He was transformed into a fully equipped young ascetic in every detail! The god Vishnu embraced him as a friend and asked him to name any other desire, but by this time the sixty sons had gathered round their mother clamouring for food! Narada appealed to Vishnu to silence them. Vishnu gave them the Raj of the world to be enjoyed by turns for oneyear at a time. This is how each Hindu year has a separate name for a cycle of sixty years. At the end of this cycle falls the Kapila Shasthi, the sacred day on which Naradi was re-transformed into saint Narada !<br /><br />Here is the list of the sixty sons of Naradi, after whom the lunar years in the cycle are still being called.<br /><br />Prabhav, Vibhav, Shukla, Paramoda, Prajapati, Angira, Shrimukha, Bhava, Yuva, Dhatu, Ishwar, Bahudanya, Pramathi, Vikrama, Vrisha, Chitrabhanu, Subhanu, Taran, Prartiva, Vyaya, Sarvajit, Sarvadhari, Virodhi, Vikriti, Khara, Nandana, Vijaya, Jaya, Marmath, Durmikha, Hemalambi, Vilambi, Vikari, Sharvar, Plava, Shubakrit, Shobhana, Krodhi, Vishvavasu, Parabhava, Plavanga, Kilaka, Saumya, Sadharana, Virodhikrita, Paridhavi, Pramadi, Ananda, Rakshasa, Nala, Pingala.

Congress memebers are Chaploos or even slaves of Sonia who even do not dare to raise even a finger against the misrule and loot of Bhaarat. After the 2G spectrum , Common Wealth Games, now the latest loot is ISRO spectrum deal which is worth 2 lakh Crores.<br /> <br />From: Babu Suseelan <babususeelan@hotmail.com><br />Many Hindus no longer value freedom enough to make any effort to understand the corrupt congress dynasty headed by the uneducated Italian Mafia lady Edvige Antonia Albina Maino - Sonia Maino or any political action. If the majority choose not to clearly think and act, they choose to submit to the dynasty. If the majority choose to be apathetic, indifferent and passive and make no effort to understand the criminal behavior of our political leaders, their looting, immoral and corrupt acts, then they have chosen to be victims. They prefer to love their slave masters and lick their boots that trample on them. If the majority choose to ignore past abuses and present corrupt practices they sacrifice their life to the next dynasty to continue their abuse behavior.<br /> <br />We have to retake our country, our liberty for us and for the children yet to be born. Even if we suffer any inconvenience for voicing our protest against the dynasty, we should not tolerate or applaud the corrupt dynastic rule. The anti Hindu, anti national congress rule and the Italian mafia rule is a reminder to Hindus to initiate a strong social revolution for a great leap forward. we are justified in using all means necessary to overthrow the corrupt, often oppressive, chronically inept and frequently deceptive, jihadi appeasing dynastic government. It is time for Hindus with higher grade patriotism to start a strong social revolution to preserve our culture, protect our democracy and promote our liberty<br /><br />Sonia should go, says Venkataswamy<br />Senior Congress leader member G. Venkataswamy triggered a storm in the party on Tuesday by demanding that AICC president Sonia Gandhi should relinquish her post and make way for a leader of Indian origin.<br />“I have serious doubts of the Congress coming back to power under Ms. Gandhi's leadership in the next elections. Out of the 28 States, the Congress is in power in only a handful. This number may become zero if she continues to be at the helm. Congress leaders have won elections based on the Congress party's symbol and not because of Ms. Gandhi,” he said.<br />Stating that the days of the Congress were numbered if Ms. Gandhi continued in the party for a minute more, Mr. Venkataswamy said, “Only people of Indian origin should hold the post of Congress party president.” Repeatedly questioning Ms. Gandhi's leadership, he said corruption had reached alarming proportions ever since she came to the helm.<br />Ripples in Congress<br />Smita Gupta reports from New Delhi:<br />Mr. Venkataswamy's attack on Ms. Gandhi has sent ripples through the party, especially as he is from the troubled Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. Party media committee chairperson Janardan Dwivedi responded to Mr. Venkataswamy's diatribe circumspectly: “We have taken note of it.”<br />Mr. Venkataswamy can be summarily expelled by the party chief, senior sources in the party told The Hindu – it need not go to the Disciplinary Committee. However, these sources added that the party was not going to rush into taking action against Mr. Venkataswamy because of the “complicated politics of Andhra Pradesh.”<br />Meanwhile, the sources added that Mr. Venkataswamy's son, G. Vivek, who is the current MP from Pedappali, the seat which his father had represented earlier, has distanced himself from his father's remarks.<br />http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/andhra-pradesh/article1147332.ece<br />Congress leaders do not even dare to lift their head and look at the face of Sonia Gandhi. <br /> What we just beginning to think could possibly happen to India has already been thought our by our enemies. <br />In article below, Chinese think tank was suggesting that India should be broken into 20-30 pieces (this appeared in Times of India). <br />Below is a photo from a youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4FXqU8XY0A ) which shows that congress leaders do not even dare to lift their head and look at the face of Sonia Gandhi. <br />What happened to our country? We are so divided and pull each other down and we end up falling at the feet of an uneducated Italian woman who is raping the nation of its wealth, its culture and its great heritage. <br />Why is this country so cursed? Perhaps because we do not feel it as our own enough, perhaps because we are not prepared to die for it, if necessary.<br />------------------<br />ISRO spectrum deal under review: Centre<br />Sandeep Joshi<br />Antariksh Bhavan in Bangalore, which houses the Antrix Corporation, the commercial arm of ISRO.<br />Audit is in very preliminary stage, says CAG<br /><br />DELHI: In the aftermath of the expose by Business Line and The Hindu, the Central government said on Monday 6Feb,2011 that it was in the process of reviewing the deal between the Indian Space Research Organisation's commercial arm Antrix Corporation Ltd. and the Bangalore-based Devas Multimedia Pvt. Ltd. that gave Devas free access to scarce spectrum worth an estimated Rs. 2 lakh crore.<br /><br />“The agreement entered into by Antrix and Devas on January 28, 2005 is already under review by the Department of Space. ISRO comes under the Department of Space, which is under the charge of the Prime Minister.<br /><br />The Comptroller and Auditor General of India is currently auditing the 2005 agreement between the two firms that gives Devas Multimedia unbridled use of 70 MHz of spectrum, used for high-speed terrestrial mobile communications, over a 20-year period.<br /><br />Interestingly, the Law Ministry had already asked the Department of Space to nullify the deal between Antrix and Devas after the DoS had sought its view on the matter. Even the Space Commission in July 2010 had strongly objected to the deal and recommended scrapping of the agreement between the two companies.<br /><br />Out of the total 1,161 MHz of available spectrum in the identified bands, 40-55 per cent is with the government agencies including the Defence and the DoS and only 85 MHz of radio waves is likely to be available by 2014.

V. RANGARAJAN<br />Founder and Trustee<br />Sri Bharatamata Gurukula Ashram &<br />Yogi Ramsuratkumar Indological Research Institute<br />Sri Guruji Golwalkar Hindu Resource Centre<br />Sister Nivedita Academy , Sri Bharatamata Mandir, Srinivasanagar, Krishnarajapuram, Bangalore 560 036<br />(Phone 080-25610935; Cell: 9448275935, e-mail: sadhu.rangarajan@gmail.com<br />Website: sribharatamatamandir.org)<br />Bharat—the Mother of All Religions<br /> Long before the dawn of civilizations in other parts of the world, the Vedic sages and seers of Bharatavarsha evolved a scientific, universal and eternal way of life, Sanatana Dharma or Hindu Dharma, which spread to distant continents. The rishis discovered that the source of all creation is a nameless, formless Supreme Being--Parama Purusha--whose Energy or Power manifests as the entire universe. Modern science agrees with the truth that the entire creation is manifestation of Consciousness or Consciousness - Force as Sri Aurobindo rightly calls. Sun, the source of material world and all forms of life was adored as Savitru -- the stimulator or one who vivifies--and His power, as Gayatri--that which protects those who live in tune with Nature. Sun, without which life is impossible, was symbolically represented in the Fire--Agni--and adoration of Fire-- Agnihotra -- came into existence. In Persia the Vedic worship of Agni created a religion called Zoroastrianism with its scripture, Zend Avesta, full of hymns borrowed from the Vedas. This Vedic religion of nature worship spread to Arab countries where the Sun God, Ravi , the One with the Fierce Force, became Ra--the Arabic Sun God. In Bharat, the sun which is nothing but a fierce form of energy--Aruna-- which transformed into matter-- the earth or the mountain-- Achala-- is worshipped as Arunaachaleswara--the Supreme God who transformed into material universe. After the advent of Islam in Arabia, the fierce God--Rudra Shiva--who was worshipped by early Arabs in the Kaba--the Holy Shrine of Kapaleeswara or Makka Maheswara--became the stone which is adored with perambulation in the Hindu style, even today, by Muslims from all over the world visiting Mecca. The power of the Ultimate Reality, viz. the Shakti or Kanya Kumari, the ever virgin mother nature, became the Mother Goddess, Umma or Ummi (derived from Sanskrit name Uma) flanked by two lions and worshipped in Babylonia, Greece and Crete and later became the Virgin Mary of Christianity. The Brahman meaning that which is spread everywhere or the Ultimate Reality or father of all creation became Abraham and Ibrahim in Semitic religions. Thus the concepts that arose in the Vedic spiritual culture of Bharata were accepted and adopted by all religions all over the world and Mother Bhaarat became the "mother of all religions" as Swami Vivekananda called Her. She became the abode of universal religion and human brotherhood. ( Jesus came to India at the age of fourteen and stayed for fifteen years, sitting at the feet of great Vaishnavite, Shaivite and Tantric masters at places like Rajgir and Varanai and practised Tantric Buddhism at Hemphis Gupha in Tibet . When he returned to Jerusalem to preach what he had learnt in India , he was put on the cross by the Romans, but he was saved by Mother Mary and Mary of Magdalene with the help of Eesanath Panthis (Essenes) and Theraputta Buddhists (Therauputs) and secretly brought to India . He settled down in Kashmir Valley and attained Mahasamadhi there. His Samadhi even today exists by the side of the Rose Bal Lake in Kashmir .)<br /> <br />Violence and Bloodshed—the Characteristic Marks of Semitic Religions<br />However, the Roman Christians misappropriated the name of Jesus and produced a demonic religion called Christianity which came into existence during the period of King Constantine, four hundred years after the death of Jesus the Christ. Christianity attempted to wipe out the Jews and was at loggerheads with Islam which came into existence later. The Crusades were waged and millions of people perished in the wars. The Semitic religions under the control of fanatic and fundamentalist bigots unleashed reins of terror destroying human societies that pursued any path other than that preached by Christianity or Islam. Christianity wiped out Pagan religions which arose out of the concept of nature worship propagated by the Vedas in Europe, Australia and America . Islam, an Arab Nationalist Movement, was started by Mohammad who wanted to establish the rule of Qureshi tribe all over the Arab country and proclaimed himself as the Messenger of Allah, the only God, and waged war against all those who did not accept him as the sole representative of God. Later, Islam also went out on a spree destroying all those who did not accept Prophet Mohammad and Allah, condemning the non-believers as Kafirs. Islam spread to Persia and wiped out the religion there and later invaded India . Hundreds of temples in India were destroyed, Hindus were killed mercilessly and Hindu women were raped and children butchered in Jihad or holy war in the name of Allah.<br /> <br />Scheme to Disintegrate the Hindu Nation<br /> <br />Centuries later, the converted Muslims were induced to carve out a separate Islamic Nation called Pakistan out of Bhaarat and today attempts are made to usurp even the crown of Bharat, Kashmir, and annex it to Pakistan . The militant Muslims in Kashmir who are supported by Pakistan will not allow even the hoisting of the Indian National Flag in the Indian territory of Jammu-Kashmir and the so called secular leaders of India are prepared to compromise with the militants in denigrating the National Flag.. To destroy the Hindu nation further, Jihadi terrorist movements are encouraged in every nook and corner of the country. The Christian forces are also not lagging behind in the destruction of the Hindu Nation. Billions of rupees are flowing into the country through Christian proselytizing institutions from abroad to convert the poor and gullible people in the country into Christianity so that they could be encouraged to disintegrate the Indian nation and carve out a Christianistan in Indian territory . Christian countries make use of their scholars, universities and academic bodies to propagate an untruth that India has never been a nation. They have created the myth of Aryan and Dravidian races, the Aryan invaders conquering India and subjugating the Dravidian inhabitants, and also the theories that tribes in India like the Gonds are not Hindus. The militant forces in the North East of the country get direct support and encouragement from the Evangelical institutions in the west and from the World Christian Council to disintegrate and destroy India . Thus, mistaking the spirit of tolerance of the Hindu race to be its weakness, the rapacious onslaught on the Hindu nation by the Islamic fundamentalists and Christian fanatics still continues. Stooges of colonial powers are today at the helm of administration of Bharat, holding the country to ransom by systematically looting the wealth of the nation and hoarding it clandestinely in Swiss Banks and away from our Motherland. Some of the selfish and power hungry politicians among the Hindus, in whose blood there could be the mix up of the blood of the bastards produced by Islamic and Christian invasions of the land, claim themselves to be secular and lick the boots of the stooges of alien forces to claim a share in the loot of the country.<br /> <br />Attempts to Tarnish Image of Hindu Nationalists<br />After the Independence , the westernized political leaders of the country who came into power started a process of systematically destroying all the ethos of Hindu Nationalism from the face of the most ancient nation of the world. When nationalist forces in the country get awakened and try to raise their head, they are condemned as Hindu communalism to scare away the gullible Hindu population and the religious and spiritual leaders. The so called ‘secularists’ ruling the country, in order to keep themselves in power perpetually, have adopted a policy of appeasement of Muslims and Christians to win over their vote banks. When Islamic terrorists, supported by Pan-Islamic movements from outside the country, explode bombs inside the country and attack even the Parliament House and kill innocent people they are shielded with the claim that their acts are just reaction to the demolition of a non-existing Babri Mosque in Ayodhya and military action against the militants in Jammu and Kashmir. Talks are held with Christian militants in North East to arrive at a compromise with them. At the same time any talk of Hindu Nationalism is branded as communalism and any sadhu or sannyasi who comes forward to speak for the Hindu nationalist forces, expose the anti-national forces and save the Hindu society, is painted as saffron terrorist, rounded up and tortured. Dr. Subramaniam Swami, President of the Janata Party, has exposed the game plan of the Christian Missionaries in the accusation against Swami Aseemanand: “The accusation against Swami Aseemananda, alleged in the CBI’s FIR that he was the terrorist who organized the attack on Samjhauta Express, and on Malegaon & Hyderabad masjids, as well as other places, is getting to be absurd and inconsistent because it conflicts with the findings of other agencies at the international level. The US Department of Treasury earlier had imposed sanctions on the LeT because of the organization’s involvement in the terrorist attack on the Samjhauta Express holding that four of its members had carried out these attacks. In a communication to the ‘1267 Committee’ of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), the US Department of Treasury stated that the designated individual members of the LeT had not only carried out these terrorist attacks of train bombings in India, but also provided support to Al-Qaida in its nefarious activities. The UN Security Council 1267 Committee also issued a press release on June 29, 2008 stating that in the February 2007 Samjhauta Express bombing in Panipat, these persons were financed and helped by Dawood Ibrahim, the notorious gangster and proclaimed offender. The CBI too had registered a FIR, and had extracted a confession from a LeT operator by name Safdar Nagori, who owned responsibility for these attacks. What is the UPA Government explanation for these blatant contradictions? Well placed persons in Gujarat have informed me that Swami Aseemananda had been working amongst tribals and was very popular in Dangs district. His help to tribals made it hard for foreign Christian missionaries to carry out money-induced religious conversion of tribals in this district.” Subramaniam Swami has also appealed to the Prime Minister of India to probe into the connection of Sonia Gandhi with the Italian Missionaries and her efforts to withdraw the orders issued by various state governments to foreign missionaries doing proselytizing work in India to leave the country.<br /> <br />Saffron—the Colour of Patriotism and Sacrifice<br /> Since times immemorial, saffron is associated with Bharatiya or Hindu Nationalism. All the kings and emperors from the most ancient period of history of this holy land had their flags in saffron. They were guided by the noblest preceptors, sadhus and sannyasins of the land. Vishnugupta Chanakya guided Chandragupta Maurya to resist the onslaught of the Greek invaders and build a powerful Hindu empire. Samartha Ramdas gave the ochre flag to Chhatrapati Shivaji and guided him to destroy the Muslim aggressors and re-establish the Hindu Pad Padshahi. In the south, Vidyaranya of Sringeri Peetha guided Harihara and Bukka to build the mighty Vijayanagara Empire. During the freedom struggle, Sister Nivedita made the children of her school design an ochre flag with the symbol of Vajrayudha inscribed on it with the slogans, “Vande Mataram” and “Yato Dharmastatho jayah” and presented it as the National Flag of India in the Congress Session at Benares in 1905. The saffron is the colour of patriotism and self-sacrifice. By dubbing Hindu sannyasins and nationalists as “Saffron Terrorists”, the treacherous and selfish stooges of European masters licking today the boot of an Italian mistress cannot extinguish the raging fire of Hindu nationalism which has now captured the hearts of billions of Hindu youth all over the country and abroad. The game plan of the anti-Indian forces and their stooges within the country will not continue for long. Bengal saw a Sannyasi Rebellion in 1773 in which the ochre robed sadhus took up arms and fought against the Navabs and the British colonialists and their saga is presented in the inspiring historical novel, 'Ananda Math', by Bankim Chandra Chatterji who incorporated his immortal song, Vande Mataram, in the novel. The First War of Indian Independence saw the role of Sannyasins like Swami Purnanand of Kankal, Hardwar, Swami Virajanand and Swami Dayanand, founder of Arya Samaj. The later revolutionary movements in Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and other parts of the country got inspiration from patriot saints like Swami Vivekananda who moulded his powerful shaft in India 's freedom struggle--Sister Nivedita--and produced nationalist spiritual leaders like Sri Aurobindo, Brahmabandhav Upadhyaya, Swami Shraddhanand and Subramania Sivam. Tapasvins like Vasishtha Ganapathi Muni, Satyadev Maharaj, Motilal Roy and Sadguru Omkar invoked the Bharatashakti for the liberation of the Motherland. The talk of saffron terrorism will not scare away patriotic Hindu spiritual leaders from playing their role in saving the Hindu nation from anti-national politicians in the garb of secularists and from the Christian and Islamic fanatics and fundamentalists inside and outside the country. The time that these anti-national forces are wiped out and Hindu Rashtra re-established in Akhand Bharat is not far.<br /> <br />Founding of the RSS<br /> During the period of India ’s Freedom Struggle, Dr. Keshav Baliarm Hedgewar, who was in Calcutta to pursue his medical studies, joined the Yugantar Movement of young revolutionaries fighting against the British rule. However, it did not take much time for him to realize that the freedom of the country could not be achieved simply by a few valiant and courageous youth taking to violence, throwing bombs, attacking the police stations and looting the treasuries of the British Government and it will only result in the vain sacrifice of the precious lives of the patriotic youth perishing like moths flying into fire. He then got involved in the Satyagraha movement of the Congress, but with his deep foresight saw that the Muslim appeasement policy of the Congress led by Gandhi by supporting the Khilafat Movement had already promoted the feeling among the Muslim converts in India that their political head was the Khalif of Turkey, that India had been an Islamic State before being conquered by the white race, and that, after Independence, the Muslims in India cannot get on with the majority of the Hindus and will have to vivisect the country. Therefore he founded the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh to arouse the sleeping Hindus and awaken them to the fact that Bharatavarsha has always been an Akhand Bharat and adoration and worship of the Motherland must once again become the heart throb of every patriotic Hindu. He also evolved a system of daily congregation of the youth under the banner of the Saffron Flag—Parama Pavitra Bhagava Dwaj— where they will train up themselves as dedicated servants of the Motherland and carry the ideal of Akhand Bharat and Hindu Rashtra to every nook and corner of the country. The Sangh, which had a humble beginning in Nagpur on the Vijayadashami Day in 1925, grew in leaps and bounds due to the self-sacrifice of the Karyakarthas produced by Dr. Hedgewar and spread its wings to other provinces of the country. When Shyam Sundar Chakravarty, a former colleague of Dr. Hedgewar in the revolutionary movement came to seek the support of RSS for revolutionary activities, Doctorji made it clear to him that the RSS wanted not merely the independence of the country, but the building up of a powerful Hindu Nation and his plan of action was to achieve that highest goal. Doctorji never valued less the sacrifice of the revolutionaries and he even provided shelter to Rajguru, the colleague of Bhagat Singh who was hunted by the British police. However, he never wanted the Swayamsevaks to jump into the revolutionary movement and take to violence, destroying themselves in the conflagration. He wanted the Swayamsevaks to prepare themselves to the task of instilling in the entire Hindu society the spirit of patriotism, discipline and self-sacrifice in order to achieve their ultimate goal of Hindu Rashtra. Even Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose came to Nagpur and called on Dr. Hedgewar, but he could not hold any conversation with Doctorji as the later was in his death bed. Netaji then met Veer Savarkar at Mumbai and on the latter’s advice, left the country to organize the Indian National Army with the help of the Germans and Japanese. Even after the fall of Germans and Japanese in the war front and the mysterious disappearance of Netaji Subhas, the brave soldiers of the INA created revolt in the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force and forced the British to leave India . Though the country attained Independence , the work of the Sangh has still been continuing with the goal of establishing Hindu Rashtra once again on the soil of Bharatavarsha. It is in order to thwart this great goal of the Sangh and keep the country under the control of the alien forces that attempts are being made to malign the Sangh as a ‘Hindu’ or ‘Saffron’ terrorist outfit according to the adage, “Give the dog a bad name and kill it”. However, the opponents of Hindu Nationalism will soon realize that Sangh is not a helpless dog to be so easily killed but the mighty and valorous lion, the king of the forest. Today millions of Karyakartas of the Sangh are spread all over the country and even abroad among the Hindu Diaspora and to dream of the extinction the Sangh is like dreaming of the drying up of ocean.<br /> <br />Appeal to Sadhus and Sannyasins<br /> In the Arjuna Vishada Yoga, the first chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna leading the Pandava army stands facing the Kauravas in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Seeing his own grandsire, Bheeshma, and preceptor, Drona, and his cousins arrayed against him, for a moment he becomes confused and confounded, drops his Gandiva bow from his hand and refuses to fight against his own kith and kin. In the very opening words from the mouth of Lord Krishna in the next chapter, Sankhya Yoga, the Lord lambastes Arjuna: “Whence is this perilous strait come upon thee, this dejection, which is unworthy of thee, disgraceful, and which will close the gates of heaven upon thee, O Arjuna? Yield not to impotence, O Arjuna, son of Pritha! It does not befit thee. Cast off this mean weakness of the heart. Stand up, O scorcher of foes!” It is this message that the Sadhus and Sannyasins of the present day have to deliver to the Hindu society in this period of crisis. If they themselves get scared by the veiled threats of the so called secularists, agents of alien forces, sitting in the echelons of power in the country, and in order to protect themselves and their religious institutions remain mute spectators of all the atrocities committed on the Hindu society, they are unworthy of the ochre robe that they have wound around themselves. All their preaching of dharma, religious harmony and universal brotherhood become sham non-sense like the preaching of Ahimsa by a spineless coward. When their own brethren who belong to the order of sannyasins are threatened by people in power, the sadhus and sannyasins should not run away and seek shelter for themselves in their cozy and comfortable Ashrams and Mutts. It is time for them to come out and, true to the vow of Sannyasa that they have taken, be fearless, stand united and fight for the protection of their Dharma. They must remind themselves of the message of the Gita, “Yadyataacharati shreshthah, tattadevetaro janaah; sa yat pramaanam kurute, lokastadanuvartate”—“Whatever the men who are considered noble practise, the same is followed by the common run; that which they make authoritative, the world accepts.” It is the duty of the sadhus and sannyasins to come out boldly and guide the Hindu society in the task of protecting the Hindu nation and society. Posterity will never forgive them if they fail in their duty today and they will stand exposed before the society and the world. The Upanishadic call, “Utthishthata, jaagrata, praapya varaannibodhata”—“Arise, awake, stop not till the goal is reached” is meant for them and this should echo and re-echo from their bosom awakening the entire Hindu society to achieve the goal of Hindu Rashtra and Akhand Bharat. Vande Mataram!<br /> <br />Corrupt people get elected<br />we Hindus should think for a while about the election victories of anti Hindu leaders like Digvijay Singh , Mulayam, Mayavathi, Karunanidhi & other pro minority leaders.We Hindus have voted them ! <br /> All the minorities & their Hindu promoters have adopted a constant BJP bashing attitude for the party 's pro Hindu stance.

It must be a very ignorant, intimidated, gutless and servile nation that even SIX DECADES are not enough to tell us as to WHO IS ON TOP.<br /> It is the HINDUS, the end victims of our enemies' DEADLY STRATEGY, who are foremost in trusting the Muslims and serving the Christians.<br /> Normal people keep EVERYTHING in their own hands to feel strong, secure and comfortable but the Hindus feel strong, comfortable and secure if a NON Hindu is Rashtrapati, Rashtrapatni or Rashtramata. Insecure timid Hindus will feel SAFE if a committed Catholic Sonia is on top but not a committed Hindu.<br /> <br />Now we can clearly see the STRATEGY of this "DICTATOR" DYNASTY unfolding before our eyes.<br /> It must have been decided upon even BEFORE Partition. That is why PARTITION was effortless, quick and smooth for Nehru and Jinnah though the Hindus were plunged into BLOOD BATH and lost one third of SACRED "dharti" with Gandhi's cherished slogan "AKHAND BHARAT" blown up.<br /> The second occasion was the invasion of KASHMIR. Nehru's defence was only for show. We saw through his mind when he stopped his army from advancing to recover the full State. The Indian Army is still STUCK there where Nehru intended them to "freeze" and die.<br /> The third instance was the WAR over East Pakistan when eight million refugees, mostly Muslim, came crying to their "mother" Indira. She used the war to liberate them, but enslave and degrade the Hindus, betray Secularism (Akhand Bharat), and to enhance her own position to win the next elections that she did easily, riding the wave of victory. But the servile and ignorant people did not question, "Why has she returned the CAPTURED territory so quickly and willingly?"<br /> How could sleeping Hindus ask this question if they had not asked the TWO before, e.g., 1. Why we surrendered LAHORE?, and 2. Why we begged UNO for cease fire when our own troops were ADVANCING?"<br /> Having won the trust of the Hindus and having established herself as the "IRON LADY", Indira "Gandhi" took on the SIKHS, the traditional defenders of Hindusthan and living in the border State.<br /> To a Muslim nothing is more annoying, irritating and irksome than an obstacle in his way of advance and conquest. Hence Nehru managed to completely ruin the Sikh community by giving their homeland (Lahore, Nankana Sahib, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Multan) to Mohammed of Mecca, and now Indira got her own chance to complete the job.<br /> The DYNASTY knows that after the Sikhs are dead the Hindus will be a walk-over. Hence the invasion of East Punjab in 1984. Strict censorship and intimidation of Sikh leaders and media has not told the complete story of Sikh disaster in 1984.<br /> We all know that none of the perpetrators of 1984 genocide in Delhi and elsewhere has been convicted and hanged.<br /> Having given a severe blow to the Sikhs the next target were the TAMILS who were not only staunch Hindus but also demanding a little freedom from Dynasty's strangulating hold over Hindusthan. They resented the State control of their temples and misappropriation of temple funds (that is still going on unhindered and unchecked).<br /> Rajviv was the CONTINUATION of Nehru's and Indira's policy and sent the Indian army to KILL the Tamils of INDIAN origin instead of giving them protection. But there was NO protection to them from Delhi just as there was NO protection to the Kashmiri Hindus in 1989. They were NOT given arms to defend themselves or given any protection. Instead Article 370 of Constitution was enforced. It was meant to feed and protect them, susidise their food, water, electricity and housing, while ensuring Muslim majority in the State.<br /> What can we say of the sleeping Hindu nation who have not looked at all this, and a lot more (e.g., foreign wives, Bofors commission) besides, and cried,<br />"WOLF IN OUR SHEEP PEN!"<br /> <br />The scams, the astronomical foreign deposits and the despicable lickspittle Presidents and cabinet ministers and governors, are all leading to rapid weakening of the Hindu nation and its DISINTEGRATION.<br /> In this context the only hope for an unarmed nation, being fed on the diet of Gandhi's "AHIMSA" and the defeatist doctrines of "TYAAG" (RENOUNCE!) and "MAYA" (world is an illusion), is the army. But the less said about the GUTS, PATRIOTISM and VISION of this army, the better.<br /> Kuru<br />www.partitionofindia.com<br /> <br />'Ohh My Sonia!

Actually many of us forget that since 1885, members of the Motilal Nehru family have presided over the Congress party for 39 of its 125 years. Motilal Nehru was president for two years, Jawaharlal Nehru for nine, Indira Gandhi for eight, and Rajiv Gandhi for seven. Sonia Gandhi holds the record both within the dynasty and the party by having the longest, unbroken tenure of 13 years and is still going strong. The party has become a family enterprise and a non-family man like Narasimha Rao is not even recognised as a former prime minster. Following this tradition, we have Agatha Sangma from Megahalya to Omar Abdullah in Jammu and Kashmir to MK Alagiri in Tamil Nadu, inheriting the political throne.<br /> The important point here is not about the national agenda of these political parties but their functioning and control. Whether it is DMK or the Shiv Sena, where the family battles have come out in open, or the NCP, where the heir apparent has been anointed — the issue is the family business called political parties. It is important to mention that Tamil Nadu is a pioneer of this model wherein the interests of the state, party, government, and people are subsumed for the welfare of the family enterprise. Like in all businesses, it is required to delineate the nature of the business model adopted by these family enterprises. In any business, particularly listed business, the shareholders’ wealth maximisation is the main objective. Unfortunately, these regional parties are not listed on the stock exchanges and hence the correct market valuation may not be available. But the total wealth declared by these leaders (including that of their multiple wives!) during election time in the form of affidavits can be a guide for the net worth of the enterprise.<br /> The preliminary expenses here are related to rabble-rousing on caste or language or pro-poor issues. Another method is to promise largesse in the form of free electricity, free TV, free cinema, free rice, to be paid for by the state exchequer. In this model, the actual business entity need not worry about expenses since post-power, there will be a continuous revenue stream. The family business has to be conducted through various functional departments called commerce, agriculture, irrigation, roadways, education, power, and so on. Some are low-volume, high-margin centres like land allotment or C'Wealth Gamea or second generation mobile telephony spectrum, where one project can earn up to thousands of crores. Other business units, like elementary education, which is a large-scale transfer industry, are low-margin but high-volume business.<br /> Every teacher transferred may provide only thousands of rupees, but the numbers are large. The family also needs to take care of the interests of other families (sub-regional or other caste parties), hence the creation of strategic business units. In this model, the expenses are borne by the government but revenues are enjoyed by the family. It is a win-win model that does not have any comparable international example. The time-frame for maximising the family wealth is specified after one election and that differentiates it from the other regular business models. Due to the short time span, the family can and does become rapacious and they need continuous extraction of higher bribes to meet their collective greed. The turnover and attrition among supporters is also high, since their aspirations also grow. Hence, the need to create powerful entry barriers as well as exit costs.<br /> But if you or your children opt out of politics, then you cannot be a “dacoit capitalist” anymore since your ability to formulate policies is gone and there could even be vendetta by the current rulers. So make sure your son/daughter/wives/sambandhis (children’s in-laws) are in some business unit or the other. Will this business model meet its nemesis? Not for some years yet. One reason it will flourish is the increasing importance of land as a factor of production. In the 60s, capital was scare and land was easily allotted. Now capital is available, even from global sources, but land is scarce and that is the strength of these families. Control of land and its allotment is the primary sonrise (pun intended!) industry. To that extent, the family business will flourish. With further fragmentation, many family enterprises will be either in a merger and acquisition mode or in a small business-smaller reach mode. In such situation, some can go sick. Second, due to the greed of some of these families, the margins demanded from projects may exceed the cost of the project.<br /> The future of India is ironically linked with these 40-50 families with their capacity for rabble-rousing along and their rapaciousness and greed. Let us celebrate our grass-root democracy that enhances such “family values”.<br /> URL of the article: http://www.dnaindia.com/opinion/comment_dynasty-politics-is-about-protecting-ill-gotten-wealth_1496695-all<br />__ Global Financial Integrity: $104 billion Indian black money in foreign banks during 2000-2008<br />Global Financial Integrity reports $104 billion black money has been taken out of India between 2000 and 2008.

My patients were those who had gone home to<br />die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last<br />three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced<br />with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someones<br />capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety<br />of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and<br />eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they<br />departed though, every one of them. When questioned about any regrets they had<br />or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again.<br />Here are the most common five:<br /><br />1.<br />I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.<br />This was the most common regret of all.When people realize that their life is almost<br />over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone<br />unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to<br />die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. It is very<br />important to try and honor at least some of your dreams along the way. From the<br />moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very<br />few realize, until they no longer have it.<br /><br />2.<br />I wish I didn't work so hard.<br />This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and<br />their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most<br />were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been bread<br />winners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their<br />lives on the treadmill of a work existence. By simplifying your lifestyle and<br />making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income<br />that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become<br />happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new<br />lifestyle.<br /><br />3.<br />I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.<br />Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a<br />result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were<br />truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness<br />and resentment they carried as a result. We cannot control the reactions of<br />others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way<br />you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole<br />new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship<br />from your life. Either way, you win.<br /><br />4.<br />I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.<br />Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying<br />weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so<br />caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over<br />the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time<br />and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are<br />dying. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But<br />when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life<br />fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible.<br />But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They<br />want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually<br />though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It all comes down<br />to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final<br />weeks, love and relationships.<br /><br />5.<br />I wish that I had let myself be happier.<br />This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a<br />choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called<br />"comfort" of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as<br />their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to<br />theirselves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh<br />properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed,<br />what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able<br />to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.<br /><br />Life is a choice. It is your life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-38116368134781504382010-12-29T12:33:00.000-08:002010-12-29T12:35:32.069-08:00Bhagavad Gita´s Message on Fighting TerrorismBy Rajiv Malhotra<br /><br />In the Bhagavad Gita, God appears in human form as Krishna, to guide Arjuna in the fight/don't fight dilemma that Arjuna faces. What might this 18 chapter holiest of the Hindu scriptures teach us in the dilemma we now face concerning global terrorism? Krishna's advice fits neither of the two extremes that are presently dominating the media debate: At one end are the majority of Americans who promote revenge against the terrorists, as a notion of justice - an eye for an eye. At the other end is a minority of anti-war activists who want no violence, and instead advocate that the US should take the blame for having caused hatred against itself. The Gita's message rejects BOTH these. Its short-term message for this situation pertains to the ethics of war, and its long-term message calls for systemic changes required by both Islam and the West in order to harmonize humanity.<br />Dharmic War<br /><br />Krishna scolds Arjuna for his initial attitude of abandonment, saying that there is a global evil that must be dealt with; Arjuna is the best qualified one to fight this evil given his training, capabilities, and position. This is God's work and not his own. By analogy, one could argue that the US must play Arjuna's role, being positioned as the only superpower and having the resources to carry this out. In Hindu dharma, a ruler has the obligation to protect the public from such menaces, and to abandon this role would be irresponsible. God's advice to Arjuna is: "Engage in battle with equanimity and without getting overwhelmed by the extremes of joy and sorrow, gain and loss, and thus you won't incur sin."<br /><br />A just war ("dharma-yudh" = war-as-duty) should not be for revenge but for the prevention of terrorism in the future. The Hindu idea of justice is in the form of karmic consequence; but these consequences are for God to take care of, whenever and however he chooses. The Gita emphasizes one's rightful action, but always letting God take care of the fruits. Therefore, from President Bush down to the pilots making the strikes, the attitude should be one of doing duty for the sake of ridding society of evil, and not for revenge.<br /><br />Furthermore, the response has to be relevant and proportional. The Gita does not condone indiscriminate "carpet bombing". Since karma is individual and merit based, there cannot be racial profiling against anyone.<br /><br />It is also made clear in the Gita that Arjuna has nothing personal to gain from winning. He does not seek power, wealth, fame or glory. Hence, it is not an act to be carried out by the ego and must be free of selfish motives. Applying this to the present dilemma, there are some implications:<br /><br />The US should not be motivated for the sake of securing its oil supply, as that would be a selfish act.<br />The US should not focus on ending only the terrorism that is against the US, but rather, it should deal equally with all terrorism that hurts anyone in the world, including remote corners where the US does not perceive a direct selfish interest at this time. Everything is totally interconnected as per Indian cosmogony, and there is no morality in segregating the US's selfish interests from the interests of humanity at large. Unfortunately, Senator Kerry, head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, amongst other policymakers, has defined the area of US interests to be from Afghanistan to Saudi Arabia, which means that the Indian subcontinent's Islamic terrorism remains a blind spot.<br />The US cannot aid terrorists one year by classifying them as freedom fighters against a US enemy, and fight them the next year when they turn sour.<br />Arjuna is required to act in a sattvic mode (i.e. in an attitude of purity) even while carrying out a violent attack against evil. The US must note that collusion with evil cannot be sattvic, and that in the end such collusion cannot expect to result in lasting good, as the deed itself gets tainted by the affiliation. The Gita requires us to repudiate even the actions of our friends, if wrong. Have we as the United States had the courage to repudiate 'friends' who are clearly part of the problem? To have a sattvic activity, we must re-examine two countries we call friends, one that financed terrorists and the other that trained them:<br /><br />For decades, Saudi Arabia has sponsored Wahhabi Islam, a fundamentalist variety of Islam, and funded 'madrassas' (religious schools) to expand the market share of Islam in poor countries. Madrassas often teach Islamic extremism and triumphalism, and then some of the youth advance into the hands of jihad preachers who are linked to some madrassas if not in charge of them. Yet, given their importance to the US oil supply, the Saudis have not been taken to task.<br />Pakistan created the Taliban, with US funding and weapons, to fight a jihad against the Soviets. This is not emphasized today by the US media, as it might embarrass prior presidencies and some of the senior cabinet members today who played a role in those governments. We must also ask whether strengthening the dictatorial Army rule in Pakistan, and thus subverting democracy, is in the best interests of Pakistan's citizens. US media has stated that 15% to 20% of Pakistanis are Talibanized, and given its population of 140 million, that is larger than the total population of Afghanistan. Pakistan has openly hosted Bin Laden's operating bases to attack civilian targets in India, killing more Indians than any other nationality from terrorism over the past five years.<br />Saudi's oil and Pakistan's geography give them unique value to the US short-term tactics at the expense of the long term vision. The Gita does not recommend such collusion with forces that are themselves responsible for the evil to be fought. Any such war would be a stop gap solution at best, and eventually the US would be playing into the hands of the very evil forces it seeks to eradicate. The US must encourage liberal Islamic scholars at the expense of totalitarian Islamic rulers; it must actively discourage Islamic triumphalism that drives many Islamic organizations.<br /><br />Dharmic War is not Jihad<br /><br />It is also important to contrast the message of the Gita with that of jihad, since some western scholars have tried to draw similarities:<br /><br />The Gita's call to Arjuna is not against a country that is a thousand miles away and that has never in its history threatened anyone militarily. Moderate Muslim interpretations state that jihad is an internal fight against evil within, thereby denying the Taliban's legitimacy. There is merit to this claim. However, for 1300 years, a great many individuals, societies and rulers have interpreted jihad as a license to kill infidels and as a mandate to expand. The 7th century invasion of Sindh (India) by Arabs was explicitly celebrated as jihad, and history is filled with one wave of Islamic plunder of India after another. The Taliban's atrocities look benign by comparison. These Islamic jihads, such as by Mohammed of Ghazni, Ghauri, and all the way down to Aurungzeb, were not rationalized by the conquerors as a fight against any threat or based on any dispute. Rather, these were justified as wars to kills infidels and to destroy their idols. Therefore, attempts to rationalize terrorism by blaming US and Israeli policies ignore the history of jihad that precedes the existence of the United States and Israel.<br />The Mahabharata war, within which the Gita is revealed, was undertaken only after exhausting all avenues for a negotiated settlement, with Krishna himself as the chief envoy. Jihad theology does not require any such attempts, because it can be applied simply on the basis that the other party is non Muslim.<br />Arjuna complied with the ethics of war: he did not engage in covert activities; he declared the war, warned the people concerned, allowed them to retreat, allowed them to even take rest during nights, and did not hurt innocent people. He did not burn any city or house with innocent people or even enemies. He did not consider the death of innocent people as "collateral damage."<br />As interpreted for centuries by many invaders, Islamic jihad asks the holy warriors to enjoy the fruits of plunder as their reward, including the sharing of loot, slaves, and women. This scriptural authority was invoked repeatedly by Islamic invaders into India, to enlist criminals as mercenaries with the promise of becoming free and living the good life after a profitable raid of India. Such repeated jihads were selfish ventures sponsored by tribal chiefs but promoted using Islamic theology. No such enjoyment of loot, taking of slaves, or other atrocities is justified in the Gita's call to fight evil. Arjuna was not seeking heaven, with a large number of virgins, as reward.<br />Questioning Eurocentrism<br /><br />Beyond the dharma of war itself, there are many other lessons that Hinduism offers to both sides in this clash between Islamic fundamentalism and the west. The US must introspect about its own intellectual chauvinism towards non western cultures, with includes all non western people and not just Arabs and Muslims:<br /><br />Chauvinism: Western scholars have often subverted other civilizations' legitimacy: Much that the west appropriated from others is deemed to be the consequence of western superiority. This includes land and gold from Native Americans, free labor from Africans, trillions of dollars (in today's value of money) from India under the British, enormous amounts of science and technology from India (often via translations by the Arabs/Persians), know how from the Chinese, etc. The Gita would call for an honest portrayal of every civilization's contributions.<br />Asymmetric power: Eurocentrism has had a symbiotic relationship with power, as one feeds the other. A Eurocentric representation of different cultures in history, sociology, science and technology, and the story of civilization, is often used to justify the systemic inequalities in globalization, and the hegemony of Christianity through proselytizing. In the true spirit of India's darshanas (systems of representation and debate), there would be equal self representation by all major civilizations in the modern discourse.<br />Dharmic compassion: There must be a new moral order in globalization, centered around human unity and not politics. Dharmic compassion needs to be given higher priority in policymaking at all levels and must transcend the notion of 'us' and 'others'. For instance, is it moral to ignore Chinese human rights violations against Tibet, just because Tibet does not have oil or other strategic value to the US?<br />Cooperation amongst religions: Mere religious tolerance must be replaced with respect for all religions, and the world must invest in the preservation of religious diversity. Religious exclusivism is against dharma, as it results in cultural chauvinism and imposing one's ideology under the pretext of 'saving others from their own traditions'. Mono-theism has often become My-theism. There should not be competition for God's brownie points, as it divides faiths into camps fighting for market share.<br />Islam Versus Islam<br /><br />The Gita's dharma is built on profound self-examination. Professor Akbar Ahmad, as quoted in Newsweek recently, says that the clash of civilizations is a clash between Islam and Islam - the liberals versus the fundamentalists. Islamic scholars need to introspect about fashioning Islam for democratic, secular and pluralistic times, and should take on social reforms seriously. Islam's history has had some such voices of progress, but these were often dominated by radical elements opposed to Pluralism and Modernity.<br /><br />We must remember Emperor Akbar who utilized India's tradition of interfaith debate and cross-fertilization, to facilitate dialogs between Hindu and Muslim scholars. This resulted in spiritual innovation and syncretism of new Hindu-Muslim hybrid theologies and sociologies. India became the ground of the most progressive Islam in the world. His grandson, Dara Shikoh, the heir to the Mughal throne, was an eminent scholar of Sanskrit and Hindu texts, having personally translated the Gita and the Upanishads into Persian. His vision was to have a Hindu-Muslim harmonious society of mutual respect. However, he was murdered by his younger brother, Aurungzeb. The oppressive rule by Aurungzeb was the longest rule amongst all Mughal rulers, in which he planted the seeds of communal hatred and the eventual collapse of the Mughal Empire at the hands of a small number of British traders. Aurungzeb's killing of Dara Shikoh was the defining moment in the history of the Indian Subcontinent, with far-reaching effects till today. This Hindu-Muslim history offers many lessons on dharma and the playing out of the karma that was created.<br /><br />No religion is free from radical elements, and no religion is essentially radical. Islam has had more than its fair share of radicalism through much of its history. There are many moderate and liberal Islamic scholars, but they fear the clerics, and their voices are subdued. The Gita's message would be for Islam's political leaders to empower their liberal scholars, and to examine Islam's positions on the following matters:<br /><br />Promotion of Pluralism, not Abrahamism: Islamic public relations is emphasizing that Islam worships the 'same God as Christianity', that Islam believes in all the Christian Prophets, and that Islam believes in Jesus as a Prophet. This call to the brotherhood of Abrahamic religions using the "Monotheism card" is at the expense of the non-Abrahamic religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Wicca, Paganism, Native American shamanism, Shintoism, and many others. This bifurcation would merely reconfigure who is 'in' as a legitimate religion, and who is 'out' as 'worshipping false gods'. This is a double standard, as it tries to legitimize Islam by glorifying Abrahamic exclusiveness. The Gita promotes pluralism, explaining that different humans have different gunas (qualities), and therefore describes a variety of religious paths that are all valid. There is hardly a spiritual methodology known in the world today that the Gita does not list as valid.<br />Reconciling the two faces of Islam: Pan-Islamic global organizations have a westernized face of peace and tolerance, as opposed to a different internal face of Islam back home. The rulers of Islamic societies who deal with the west are projecting an image that is democratic and peace-loving, whereas the Muslim clergy who control the religious teachings and interpretations often tend to be radical exclusivists and expansionists. Hence there is a 'westernized Islam' practiced by a small elite and a different 'native Islam' practiced by the vast majority. This has resulted in a good guy / bad guy role playing, in which Islamic lobbyists are the good guys claiming to save the west from some bad guys of Islam.<br />Decoupling from terrorism: Islamic leaders are trying to decouple Islam's image from terrorism, decrying the very use of the term 'Islamic terrorism'. But they should also decouple Islam from various geopolitical struggles and missions where Islam gets routinely invoked to mobilize support. No dharmic end can be pursued using non dharmic means. Extremism is basically 'tamas guna' (ignorance). It gets mobilized into a campaign by combining it with 'rajas guna' (passion). Such a dangerous mixture of tamas driving rajas cannot be controlled towards specific purposes only. In the end, it assumes a deadly life of its own, and spins out of the control of its own creators - this is the story of the Taliban.<br />The us/them mentality: Islam divides the world into two categories: 'dar-ul-Islam' (the world of Muslims) and 'dar-ul-harb' (the world of non Muslims, called kafirs or idolaters). Muslim law demands different standards and norms by which Muslims must deal with insiders and outsiders. Such built-in chauvinism towards others is contrary to the Gita's teachings and is dangerous. Pan-Islamic organizations should focus on Muslims' respect and responsibilities towards others, and not just push for greater rights and privileges for Islam.<br />Minority rights within Islam: In Medieval Europe, Muslims tolerated Jews better than the Christians did. But in the 20th century, minority religions have been oppressed in Islamic countries. Rights of non Muslims in Islamic countries need to be made comparable to the rights that Muslims demand for themselves in the west. Islamic leaders should create Islamic commissions and forums on Pluralism, where non Muslims could submit complaints and get a fair hearing on instances of Muslim hate speech against infidels, prejudicial laws or practices in Islamic countries towards non Muslims, and crimes committed in the name of Islam. They should consider issuing fatwas to stop hegemonic Islamic triumphalism, since it has led to 'religious cleansing' of religious minorities in virtually every Islamic state since World War 2 (as evidenced by a decline in the percentage of religious minorities).<br />Unfreezing the Islamic Law: While Christianity is also based on canon and uniqueness of specific historical events, it has been reformed, and Enlightenment secularized the west's public space. Since the Sunni Muslim Law was frozen by order of the caliph in the 10th century, the only mechanism which exists in Islam to update the Law is the fatwa, which may be considered as the case law of Islamic jurisprudence. There are many muftis who can issue fatwas, and the Holy Quran and the Hadith are often mis-interpreted to promote extreme positions. Islamic leaders should immediately set up a panel to amend the sharia (Islamic Law), especially as it pertains to non Muslims, so as to be compatible with this global era. They should invite and encourage critical examination of Islamic history and texts by all, without intimidation of scholars, just as is common for other world religions.<br />Fairness in education and dialog: (A) Islam's leaders should investigate whether terrorist campaigns were sponsored in Islam's name, that they now want to disown since things have turned sour. They should examine whether they can ethically disown the baby of radicalism that was created many times during Islam's history, as an expedient means. (B) Muslim leaders who condemn terrorism have often qualified it by blaming it on US foreign policy. Yet they have failed to criticize with equal intensity Islam's own policies and long history of aggression towards non Muslims. They should sponsor an honest and complete account of the history of Islamic expansion since the 7th century by conquest, jihads, and plunder. While the Islamic expansion into the west and the crusades are known to most westerners, the long-term violent campaign eastwards into India is kept out of educational material in the name of political correctness. Only by honestly teaching history can the world heal and move on, rather than by one-sided PR campaigns.<br />Gita's Recipe for Humanity to Advance<br /><br />Imagine hypothetically that the Gita's teachings were adopted by humanity at large. What would the way forward look like under such a scenario? Specifically, the Gita's spiritual methodologies, to upgrade each individual in this very life, as opposed to promises for the hereafter, may be broadly grouped into four categories:<br /><br />Jnana Yoga (path of higher knowing): This involves understanding and living various principles, such as: (1) the complete unity and inseparability of all that exists, including all living creatures; (2) one ultimate Reality that may be conceptualized in a variety of approximations none of which could ever be complete; (3) multiple spiritual paths leading to the same ultimate Reality; and (4) the principle of rebirth and its challenge to selfishness and unethical living.<br />Raja Yoga (psycho-physiological disciplines): Besides popular yoga, these include esoteric meditation, kundalini, tantra, and transpersonal and humanistic psychologies that are becoming mainstream in America. Approximately twenty million Americans are engaged in practicing some form of these disciplines. Documented benefits merely after one generation of practice in the west include: better health, stress reduction, less violence, improved ethical conduct, and improved intellectual, emotional and athletic performance. A growing number of Americans are also advancing into the higher levels of Yoga at which one experiences exalted spiritual states and embodied transformation.<br />Karma Yoga (ethics and compassion): The Gita places high expectations of ethical conduct in every aspect of living, including: towards family and friends; towards society at large, without regard to a person's religion or ethnicity; and towards nature and ecology, since the environment is sacred.<br />Bhakti Yoga (devotion): This encompasses a variety of techniques for worship, prayer, and rituals. These include both personal practices in complete privacy and public group activities in a place of worship.<br />Recognizing that human diversity is a basic principle of creation, the Gita's spiritual repertoire accommodates as many paths as there are human temperaments: any religions' theological principles can be accommodated within this open system. The Gita therefore has several messages to the leaders of world religions today:<br /><br />Religions should stop competing. Homogenizing humanity into "my" religion must stop. They should cooperate, learn from each other, and share their respective experiences as pieces of a puzzle to be solved collectively. Humanity must preserve religious diversity just as enthusiastically as we now try to preserve plant and animal species from becoming extinct.<br />Spiritual truths are ever unfolding, and cannot be frozen into canon. Nor do they privilege one ethnic group or culture over the rest.<br />Dharmic living is not achieved by joining a club of believers of any sort, or by subscribing to any theory of history of past events, but by practicing the art of living in the present in accordance with the dharma. The journey is an individual one and not a team sport to beat others. The Gita is against a triumphal attitude towards others. Its yoga is not a 'let's go kick some ass' mentality.<br />The power of clergy and hierarchy of any sort should be lowered, as these become too institutionalized, self serving, and obstacles to advancement.<br />'Dharma' is not a prophetic religion, but a spiritual framework and set of tools for personal righteousness and spiritual quest. The Gita calls upon all humanity to truthfully and courageously go beyond boundaries in the present crisis. Any ulterior or narrowly defined initiatives would be against dharma. Hindus must set the example by not seeing anyone as 'other' based on ethnicity or religion. Karma and gunas (qualities) are entirely based on individual merit and not dependent upon ethnicity or religion.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-36647088165309277732010-12-27T19:45:00.000-08:002010-12-27T19:47:57.339-08:00We will take corruption headon err Sonia headon !!!Take corruption headon.

It brought to my mind my little granddaughter while playing with her dolls would turn the heads of a few backwards. I hope SG’s head can be turned backwards to face herself from behind and the party lined up behind her .Then this ‘head on business’ will show her as the first casualty for denigrating every constitutional post and foisting herself as an extra constitutional power., undermining the PM’s post and actions, and constituting her own Parliament called the NAC. The Congress is corruption and corruption is Congress - the twain can never be parted.<br /><br /> Not to be left behind P.Chidambaram wants us to close our eyes and attune our antennae to the audio sounds emanating from Rahul Gandhi - he tells us that we can hear Rajiv Gandhi’s voice. Granted it is true - so what is the big deal? Rajiv Gandhi was taking the Congress not to the 21st century but down slide –his death came in handy for the Congress fortunes to be revived and the States which went to the polls after his assassination won on sympathy vote - not on the 21st century vision. To continue PC’s closed eyes listening ‘Millions are not connected to our economic system not because they do not want to but have no opportunity to. Why is the per capita income so low at the bottom 20 percent of India ”. We need to imagine a lot of things. One, to whom is he addressing to close the eyes? The PM seems always to have both his eyes and ears closed hence he needs to be charged for his silence and inaction. To whom is PC asking why the bottom of the 20 percent population of India ’s income is so low- That must be attributed to the economist Prime Minister of ours and the Congress party. It needs to be addressed by the Finance Minister who keeps asking us to live in hope - that the prices of essential commodities will come down. Can PC tell us why onions are being sold today for more than Rs 80 per kilo? Then the séance continues - he has put everyone on the couch and is performing a psycho analysis- start imaging he tells us with eyes closed and ears opened. ‘Imagine we heeded the call of Rahul Gandhi… imagine every child in school vaccinated and inoculated, imagine leaving school with skills… imagine everyone out of the college with a job” Then the analyst is suddenly pushed off his feet by the awakened tranced people and confronted with the question why have you failed to achieve all this? You think you can take us always on an imaginary trip - -Yes why did you not achieve this - why have you kept us in a trance and why the hell are you the Home Minister and why is the Congress in power which failed to achieve all this.- Damn it and be off. PC winds up his séance by predicting that the Opposition turn will not come for the next ten years- because they have still to wind up the hustle and the bustle of corruption activities and gather what remains. PC thinks he is smart – he who lost the last election by the whisker - thanks to an ever understanding EC and the ever honest MKarunanidhi who did what had to be done – so that in the third round of recounts he won by a few hundreds of votes. Shame on PC, he is making sure that his position will be safeguarded and hence this close eyes and open ears like open sesame and shut sesame. Only he will get shut within his own guilty conscience. His open ears had not heeded the wails and cries of those gunned down by the Islamic terrorists- his closed eyes see only ‘saffron ‘ for he is color blind and his great task of fulfilling the vision of Rahul Gandhi is limited to the exchanging of dossiers with Pakistan. Which is having the last laugh. Remember the WilkiLeaks referring to PC as demanding the interview with Headley for saving his face.<br /><br /> The grand finale of the whole theatrics of the drama enacted by the Congress and staged at Burari was good entertainment. For a moment one thought it was the BJP’s when we closed our eyes and opened our ears it sound like the BJP’s voices against corruption. Then when we got out of the trance and opened our eyes it was all Congress faces - faces of the corrupt and the leaders of the corrupt. The puppeteer had a break and the Puppet of the PM spoke. He invoked Caesar’s wife to be above suspicion. It was more a soliloquy. He has nothing to hide and is magnanimous to offer to be enquired by the Public Accounts Committee. The PM must know very well that the PAC has no powers to probe into a wide spectrum of the 2G spectrum except look into the accounts. So why should he offer to be probed by a PAC which is not empowered to probe him or the other aspects in which he is involved? If the PM is innocent as he wants us to believe then he should bravely declare that the JPC can be constituted and he is prepared to appear before it. The fact that the Congress is shying from the JPC itself reveals that it has and the PM has something to hide. What is the use of a fig leave to cover up? Finally the PM’s assertion that he did no wrong must be proved by the probing machinery. He cannot give himself a clean chit. Even a child in India will know that the PM’s silence - his appointed of Adhimuthu Raja as the Minister for Tel Com –the PM’s silence for three years - his refusal to sack the minister are the areas where he failed to perform his constitutional duties and when he failed to uphold the oath he had taken when he took over office.<br />Mr Manmohan Singh must also be answerable why he appointed PJ Thomas as the Chief Vigilant Commissioner. Does all this prove that like Caesar’s wife he is above suspicion? Come on Mr Prime Minister, and prove those brave words by asserting that you will face any probe by any constitutionally constituted mechanism and which is the best-the Joint Parliamentary Committee which comprises the elected representatives of the people. That is democracy. That the JPC is useless and that it will not lead to anything and that it is unnecessary etc are vague excuses-then why earlier were there JPCs? Let the useless JPC become useful this time, and if it does not, all the more better for the Congress for the PM will be proved to be like Caesar’s wife-above all suspicion.<br /> Mrs Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul must realize that this nation is not one of zombies. We are a people capable with tremendous common sense and are highly intelligent politically and socially. They cannot try and replay the ‘God Father’ story in India . So they cannot take us for a ride all the time. There is a limit to tolerance. When she handpicked a PM she threw to the winds democracy. As it is Manmohan Singh is a Rajya Sabha member and hence strictly speaking he does not have the vote of the people. This is his biggest liability and Mrs Sonia Gandhi who does not understand an iota of democracy handpicked him to be the PM. That was an insult to the people. Even the President was her choice and it was made clear when she stood before No 10 Janpath holding the hand of the President. Body language is a strong non verbal communication - whether in holding hands or when like the mother hen she ushers and leads the PM<br /> She has rubbed salt in our wounds when she formed the National Advisory Council-this to advise her and in turn the PM. It is a clear indication that she wants the PM to act in accordance to the decisions taken at the NAC which she chairs. So what is Parliament meant for when she has constituted a parallel Parliament with her at its head? Is this not denigration of the PM’s post and of Parliamentary democracy? What credibility and moral authority has Mrs Sonia Gandhi - the defaulter to preach, ‘we will not allow the PM’s post to be denigrated?<br /> The latest dent to democracy is Rahul telling the ambassador of the USA That India is more threatened by Hindu extremists than by Islamist terrorists. Rahul is only an MP and one of the General Secretaries of the Congress party-why has he made such a statement and who authorized him to do so? Is this democracy? Is this not denigration of everything democratic in the GOI’s functioning? We have the PM, The Home minister, the minister for Foreign Affairs and also our own ambassadors where does Rahul come in the picture to make such a false allegation against the Hindu extremists when here there are hundreds of terrorists’ attacks by Islam terrorists. Is this democracy?<br /> I plead to Mrs Sonia Gandhi and her son not to take the nation for a ride - it will be at their own costs. People are awakening and will not tolerate this nonsense no matter how high they consider themselves to be. It is the people of India to whom they should be ever so grateful for their immense tolerance of such inexcusable denigration of all that is democratic - but there is a limit to tolerance and the people will reach the zero tolerance of such puppettering of governance in the name of democracy.<br />Dr Mrs Hilda Raja Vadodara.<br /> <br />Don’t confuse, Rahul Gandhi is no “Bacha”<br />http://www.haindavakeralam.com/HKPage.aspx?PageID=12868&SKIN=B<br /><br />From: Chand K Sharma <chandksharma@yahoo.com><br />Congress Cat is out of the Bag<br /> Ever Since Congress Party came under the influence of Gandhi, the party adopted anti Hindu stance. To prop his own ideology, Gandhi always emotionally blackmailed his colleagues, sacrificed Hindu interests and pleased the Muslims. Finally he gave his life for the interest of Pakistan at the cost of Hindus.<br /> His prodigal political heir Nehru also followed his footsteps. He took pride in saying that he was Hindu by accidental mistake (on the part of his parents!), he was bodily Muslim and an Englishman in tastes. It was India 's misfortune that he happened to be the PM. Nehru and Gandhi, betrayed the interests of India in Kashmir and Tibet , the problems we are grappled with. The made Hindu hater Muslims equal partners in truncated India , when they had already taken away one third part of India as Pakistan .<br /> Indira, without solving the Kashmir problem gifted away the territory to Pakistan and nullified the sacrifice of our Jawans.<br /> Rajiv Gandhi got Indian soldiers killed for nothing in Sri Lanka and destroyed the constitutional institutions. His widow is now embarked upon on completing the left over task of destroying India and her culture.<br /> Most of the coterie around Sonia and Rahul are Christians retaining their Hindu names to camouflage their real identity. <br /> It is high time that Hindus should individually pledge to shun Congress party and identify it as totally anti Hindu out fit and unite their democratic efforts to throw Congress regime out of power for ever at the earliest Electoral opportunity. <br /> Chand K Sharma<br />Sonia Gandhi and the hidden trail<br />http://expressbuzz.com/edition/print.aspx?artid=233507<br />By John MacLithon <br /> The Indian media has begun even doubting Manmohan Singh’s integrity — mental, at least — as he must have been knowing for nearly two years that the Indian exchequer was defrauded of `1.76 lakh crores. But so far, Sonia Gandhi has been spared.<br /> Yet, if you are an observer of Indian politics, as I have been, since I landed back in India in the early ’Sixties, you have to come to the conclusion that most of the funds of scams end up in the coffers of political parties, particularly of the Congress.<br /> Today the DMK is taking the brunt of the blame, but actually political parties have been forced to follow suit after the grand old party of India’s independence, began using percentages allotted by foreign companies on mega deals, military and otherwise, to secretly fund its election campaigns and give freebies to poor villagers. Of course, Bofors was the first one of the big scams to be uncovered.<br /> I remember in the mid-Eighties a Swiss radio colleague of mine from Radio Suisse Romande, telling me that Amitabh Bachchan’s brother, Ajitabh, (when the Bachchan family was still close to the Gandhis), was one of the first safe keepers of the kickbacks of the Swedish canon makers. Exposes of Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nhyeter further confirmed it, though Ajitabh went to court against them.<br /> There is no doubt, further says my Swiss friend, that part of the Bofors money is still in Switzerland . Indeed, we are all waiting for the Swiss banks to reveal (under US pressure) the names of all the dictators, thieves, dishonest rulers of so many countries in the world, who have stashed their ill-gotten money in UBS bank or Credit Suisse.<br /> Meanwhile, all roads seem to lead to Sonia Gandhi: she is the first Lady of India , although she is a simple MP like hundreds of others, the ultimate arbiter, and nothing of importance is decided without her caveat. The immense power she wields within the Congress cannot be only due to her charisma, of her having the Gandhi name or having brought cohesion in the Congress.<br /> It is also, and perhaps mainly, because she holds the purse strings of tremendous amounts of money. These party funds are overt: all the foundations, Rajiv, Indira, Nehru, etc, which store thousands of crores; and covert, starting with the Bofors scam. Where are the secret bank accounts where the scam money is stored? Under whose names are they operated? How is the money brought back to India ? Who will answer all these questions?<br /> We know that Quattrochi, the man who could have spilt the beans, was shamelessly let off the hook, not only by the CBI which today is conducting — two years late — the investigation on the 2G scam, but also by the then law minister who is today the governor who pretends to be after corruption in Karnataka! Not only was Quattrochi spared, but was allowed to take the money he had looted from India and which was frozen in British banks, so that he would not talk.<br /> Will Raja talk, if he is arrested, as it is rumoured? Surely he knows a lot of secrets,as some of the 2G, Adarsh CWG money, and other unknown scams, must also have gone into the Congress coffers. That is the question that the Congress leadership should debate instead of going after ‘Hindu terror’, a misnomer if there is one.<br /> If you look at statistics for the last 1,000 years, it is Hindus who have been at the receiving end of terror — millions of them have died, including in Kashmir in the late ’Eighties, when Benazir Bhutto launched her ‘Azad Kashmir’ movement (I was there).<br /> Yet Sonia Gandhi remains a mystery for many of us, even for me who has known her for a long time.<br /> I found her quite likable when she was just Rajiv Gandhi’s (the pilot) spouse, a loving wife, who had adopted the Indian way of life; a good daughter -in-law: Indira Gandhi died on her lap on the way to the hospital, after being shot by her Sikh bodyguards; and more than everything, a good mother, who doted on her children and tried all her life to protect them.<br /> I then knew that she had kept her Italian passport, even after taking the Indian nationality (India does not allow you to hold two passports), but I have met quite a few foreigners in Delhi who also retained their origin passports after having obtained the Indian one.<br /> I myself toyed for some time with the idea of taking the Indian nationality, as I speak Hindi quite fluently, but it is too difficult to travel with an Indian passport. I do not mind also her remaining a Christian: after all, I am still one myself. Indeed, one of my Italian journalist friends told me that he prayed with her, along with Rajiv Gandhi, at a mass in Calicut with the bishop officiating — that is <br />her private business.<br /> But after her husband was blown to pieces by the LTTE, I observed a drastic change in her: she did not seem to trust anybody anymore, became aloof and suspicious. I also watched with dismay how the Congress leaders, some of them men and women of substance, whom I knew personally, applied pressure on her to enter politics for years.<br /> Furthermore, I thought that in her fortress of Janpath, surrounded twenty-four hours by security, she gradually lost touch with the reality of India . Despite the fact that I met her a few times after Rajiv’s death, I thus took discreetly my distances with her. It is then that I came up with my famous phrase on Sonia, for which she never forgave me: “the moribund and leaderless Congress party has latched on to Sonia Gandhi who is Italian by birth and Roman Catholic by baptism”.<br /> John.maclithon@gmail.com<br />John, who was a radio journalist covering South Asia for 30 years, is the author of Hindutva, Sex & Adventures (Roly Books, Delhi)<br /> <br />Who can save India from present slavery under Manmohan' Soniajee and Rahul jee and Priyankajee--?<br />Is India free from Euopean slavery beginning with Dutch, French, portuguese,English and now Italian with collaboration of Muslims,Communists,secularists, opportunists .<br />SONIA HATAO------------ iNDIA BACHAO.<br />SONIA NIKALO-------------BHARAT BACHAO.<br />SONIA BHAGAO-------------BHARAT SAMHALO.<br />All scams lead to Sonia And Sonia leads all scams.<br />As the famous saying goes' All the truth undergoes three stages---------- first it is rediculed, then it is violemtly opposed and finally it is accepted as self evident------------------Time has come.

But in Bhaaat media is anti Hindu and corrupt. Opposition parties have sold their souls to get some crumbs from the government without doing the job of looking after the interest of the common man and do not even take any interest in the security of the nation. In Bhaarat both media and opposition are dead bodies who never raise voice for the interest of common man and the nation.<br />Scndal after scandal keep going on unhindered in Bhaarat<br /> <br /> Every editor who counts in the English media, pink or white or electronic, pops up in the transcripts...Every editor also understands that you need to meet them to get a fix on the issues. The Radia tapes are instructive textbook material for students of journalism and those of pubic relations, says SEVANTI NINAN.<br /> <br /> Unearthing of scams after scams in Bhaarat has dented the reputation of one of the fastest growing economics in the world. Hardly had dust over one scam settled , yet another and bigger scam surfaces. During the past of couple of months, it started with high level corruption in the organization of Common Wealth Games, investigations into which is still going on. Although the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested couple of aides of Organizing Committee Chief Suresh kalmadi, more heads are likely to be eolled soon after tabling the final report .<br /> This followed by Adarsh Society Co-operative Housing society scam in Mumbai, which marred the image of the ruling Congress party, who replaced the CM Ashok Chavan with prithviraj Chavan. All is not wellwith more and more startling reports of bunglings in allotment of houses were still pouring in.<br />2G Scam<br /> Congress reputation took another beating following unearthing of one of the biggest irregularities in the recent times 2G spectrum allocation scam. If media reports to be believed, the scam stated to be mother of all scams, resulted in a whopping loss of 1.76Lakh Crores to the Exchequer.<br /> While the scandal has gradually generating heat by every passing day, another scam of equally more serious nature has come to lightwhen top officials of several banks , financial institutionsand Life insurance Corporation Housing Finance were arrested and charged with accepting bribes, initially estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars . The CBI has arrested five officials from state run listed lenders, including the chief exective of LIC Housing Finance, accused of bribes to facilitate large corporate loans.<br /> The scandal is one of the biggest to taint Bhaarat, potentially harming the image of Asia’s third largest economy as destination for foreign investors. Three senior executives from a listed private company were also arrested on charges of handing out the bribes. This the 4th big corporation scandal which is linked to the ruling congress party during the past couple of months.<br />Nuclear Deal of 20 Lak Crores<br /> The India – U.S. nuclear deal was crafted by a cartel of Nuclear businesses in France, Russia, Italy, Japan and U.S. The nuclear cartel that will benefit in billions of dollars from Sales to Bhaarat is nick names J I R A F (Japan Italy Russia America France)<br /> In all more than 100 Nuclear Reactors would be purchased by Bhaarat from JIRAF <br />Nothing is bought or sold without a huge commission for the decion making politicians in both the parties of sellar and buyer. Ordinary Bhaaratiya people dying to comprehend the mind boggling amounts in 1.5 Lakh Crores of Common Wealth games scams and 1.76lakh crore s 2G Spectrum scam.<br /> Bhaaratiya people now have to comprehend the Areva Scam of 24 Billion dollars amounting to 1 lakh 20,000 crores o Rupees.<br />15000 Crores Pay Off<br /> President Nicholas Sarkozy of France has got India to sign the contracts of more than 24 Billion Dollars understandably 1 Lakh 20,000 crorees of rupees for 6 Huge Nuclear Pressurised Reactors from the French company Areva SA. The politicians in Bhaarat and France will share the commission of 3 Billion dollars understandably 15,000 Crores of Rupees.<br />http://www.politicsparty.com/areva_nuclear_deal.php<br />The exploited and poor people of Bhaarat have already given the following clarion call to the country as a whole. <br />----------<br />Ghotala on the top of Ghotala Everyday: Congress marching Ahead with Loot system<br />Rajasthan's Chief Minister Gahlot assigns 100-acres of land and Jal Mahal to an inexperienced company for a mere sum of Rs. 250 crores, which is appraised at more than 2300 crores. This corrupt foot-toucher Gahlot campaigned in Bihar with sadhu-like sermons. When will the plunder of India end? India is being looted by Sonia and her feet-touchers at an unprecedented pace.

Sonia was preaching that BJP can't lecture her on corruption, but she will not agree to a JPC investigation. She has collected a thoroghly corrupt cabinet and enjoys loots together. She has compromised with national security. Her two sisters have received tons of money into their accounts. People are still poor but billions are stashed away in foreign banks by these enemies of India. I don't know much money Sonia needs. These Congressmen will keep on hounding honest administrators like Narendra Modi's, because they don't like honesty in the country. Indian newspapers are subservient to the Nehru dynasty. Sedition, bomb blasts, and hooliganism have taken over the country. Naxalites have taken over part of the country. No neighboring country is friend, but the defence of the country is being neglected and the ministry has been assigned to a Muslim. <br />Please read today' story.<br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Vilasrao-shielded-MLAs-moneylender-family-SC/articleshow/7102425.cms<br /> <br />R.

Singh <br /><br />The Hindu India’s situation is best explained by an ancient proverb, “A fish rots from the head down.” When the head is putrid, the body politic cannot be healthy. And when those at the helm remain wedded to grand corruption, clerks or traffic police cannot be singled out for taking small bribes.<br /> <br />Let us chase away the foreign female dacoit! <br />Let us Redeem and Reclaim our country!!<br />It is time to halt this galloping loot and bring to book the perpetrators of the loot. Whistle-blowers and patriots who have done service to the nation by exposing the looters should receive state protection and their personal liberties should be safeguarded, for they are the heroes of the nation. My abhinandan to them in standing up for the rashtram and protecting dharma. Their service for dharma should be enshrined in the annals of the history of this great civilization.<br /> Individuals are free to follow any faiths in India. But their freedom to walk with a cane ends when it reaches my nose. Sonia's Italian faith may be her private affair. But she is exploiting our freedom, nobility and tolerance to enslave us and make us unfree.<br /> <br />The Great Denial Continues in India. There are several poor Islamic countries in the world. The missionaries have miserably failed to indoctrinate or convert poor Muslims. Only in India poor Hindus are targeted for indoctrination and conversion. Why? Because these poor Hindus are not educated in our traditional culture and religion. And there is no punishment for coercive religious conversion. These innocent people are liberated from their sacred roots and enslaved in rigid, dogmatic dogma. Once these Hindus are converted, they are abandoned for rot. Christians call them rice Christians since they have converted for a bowl of rice or chicken soup.<br /> <br />The pseudo secularists continue to labor under the assumption that Missionaries are free to exploit poverty for conversion. Leftist loonies go on as though these people are freely exercising their freedom. They continue advising Hindus to be tolerant. Mental illness can be amusing.<br /> <br />In truth, phony secularists and leftist loonies are in the pocket books of missionary mafia. What do they have in mind? Hindus are seldom alarmed by high treason, coercive religious conversion and Jihadi terrorism and missionary's grand political schemes. And the uneducated Italian lady has shown her true color in promoting Vatican agenda in India. The bogus anti Hindu congress party has no answer for coercive religious conversion, Islamic terrorism, missionary supported Naxalite violence and Maoist murder mayhem. They call themselves secularists. I would like to label them as FRIENDLY FASCISTS.<br />Babu Suseelan<br />-----------<br />2G Spe Please read the new revealation on Wikileaks.

The electronic media are revealing these conspiracies to the public. Please try to use them widely, since the main-stream media are bribed by the conspirators so much that they are now enslaved, and became a propaganda machine for the conspirators. These conspiracies need to be exposed through a vigorous campaign all over India. The very same situation is prevailing in America also. I see a great parallel between these two countries, and, therefore, hope that Indians will see this parallel, and learn from it, and act appropriately in response to these issues, as American Tea-Party is doing,. I want to see a grass-root movement in India to awaken masses, especially Hindus, to be united under a pure patriotic, non-communal, and non-religious platform, as the Tea-Party movement in America. It pains me to see that India is still ruled by the minority group that has questionable record of patriotism and nationalism, to put it mildly.

Congress leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Arjun Singh, Digvijaya Singh, Chidambaram, Sonia Maino, are now in desperation to find lime light making stupid comments to make Hindus and India looking bad.<br /><br />Recent released “Wilkileaks” is full of fascinating reports on inept Sonia Maino’s arrogance, ignorance of India, and her maroon son Rahul Gandhi’s statement which proves his cognitive disorder.<br /><br />If we were to conduct an opinion poll and ask Hindus to name the one basic root cause of his idiotic statement, we would get various answers. If we were to ask, “What—in a single-word accounts for his erroneous statement on Hindus?” people might reply:<br /><br />The Congress party leaders might be suffering from Ignorance, prejudice, mistakes, selfishness, intellectual paralysis, lack of sensitivity, carelessness, cognitive disorder and pro-Jihadi sentiment. All these answers would be true. All these elements, and many others, lead to his idiotic statements and Congress party’s antipathy towards Hindus and Hindu organizations.<br /><br />Hindus around the world should condemn Rahul’s remarks “that Hindus could pose a “bigger threat” to democratic countries than the Jihadi terrorist group Lashker-e-Toiba, Taliban or al-Queada”. Rahul Gandhi, the Congress party General Secretary made such a foolish statement to the American Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer. Such irresponsible remark and unwanted attack on Hindus by Congress leaders in India show that the anti national Congress party is too quick to fault Hindus for Jihadi terrorism, Maoist violence, coercive religious conversion, and corruption in India. Rahul Gandhi has nothing to say about Pakistan Army sponsoring terrorism in India, ISI sponsored Lashkar –e-Toiba Jihadi terrorist attacks in Kashmir and Mumbai. Rahul’s mind could never comprehend or understand deadly forces of Taliban and al-Qaeda supported by Pakistan fermenting trouble against India’s interests.<br /><br />This latest round of attack against Hindus once again shows how ridiculous the Congress party’s misstatements and their proclivity for insulting peace loving Hindus. Rahul’s statement on Hindus and his attitudes on RSS reflect a sick mindset and is part of a long standing tradition from Nehru onwards of blaming things for almost everything that goes wrong in India.<br /><br />There had been anti Hindu prejudice of varying degrees of intensity in Congress policies for a long time. These Hindu prejudice and pro Muslims policy has resulted in Jihadi terrorist bombing of moving passenger trains, and killing innocent people in Mumbai, Varanasi, New Delhi, Kerala, and Kashmir. The Congress Party is quick in blaming the victims. It is politically incorrect in India to blame Muslims for terrorism. Indian government, controlled by the uneducated, Italian catholic Sonia Maino, at all levels has adopted political correctness and the fact is so strong. For the anti national, anti Hindu Congress Party, political correctness is an ideology that always classifies terrorist Muslims and violent Maoists as victims and Hindus victims as aggressors. How far they could continue with false political correctness, irrational Muslim appeasement and Blame Game of Hindus?<br /><br />Mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and terrorism are terrible, awful things. Such extraordinary events happened in India several times. These events prove Congress party’s indifference, passivity, deliberate ignorance, purposeful avoidance and hostility towards Hindus.<br /><br />In 1947-48, millions of Hindus were murdered or driven out from Pakistan, and Bangladesh by Muslims, and their property confiscated by Islamists. During Indira Gandhi’s assassination, thousands of Sikhs were massacred by the Congress criminals in New Delhi. The jihadis and congress criminals cracked all Indian civilized norms, revealed primitive death instincts in the form of hysteria and indulged in death and destruction.<br /><br />We have no history to prove that the Congress Party showing any acts of compassion, generosity, courage and sacrifice in these Jihadi and Congress criminal made calamities. Looking principally at recent terrorist attack in Kashmir, Mumbai, Bangalore, Varanasi, Kerala and New Delhi, the Congress government behaved poorly. The heroes of these disasters were not the Congress government, or police or official workers. IT was RSS and VHP volunteers, caught up in the event, who organized themselves to do what is needed. RSS and VHP volunteers were altruistic and engaged in caring for the victims.<br /><br />In the wake of the expulsion of Hindus from Kashmir, in which thousands of Kashmir HINDUS became homeless and forced to live in filthy refugees camps in their own country. In all these Muslim made tragedies, the Congress government and party leaders were sleepy and in a slumber. The Congress leaders were gleefully attending Ishtar Parties and eating decaying flesh with Jihadi leaders. In fact, these anti-national politicians lost the moral authority through corruption, looting public funds and make insulting remarks about peace loving nationalist RSS and Hindus. The Rahul Gandhi and his phony secular leaders want to control majority Hindus, to tear people apart, and to satisfy their hunger for power and money by blinding people to prevent them from seeing their dark evil practices. Congress leader’s goal is to steal, kill and destroy Hindus and India.<br /><br />There is no treatment for uneducated Sonia's intellectual paralysis or for her prodigal son Rahul Gandhi’s attention deficit and cognitive disorder. The Congress Party and Rahul’s ability to protect our culture, promote our interest, and preserve our sacred spirituality is limited. Yet their ability to cause harm is great. <br /><br />People who run on empty cone head can only bankrupt the country and our future.<br /><br />It is time for Hindus to make a sober assessment of what is going on in India in the name of bogus secularism and Muslim appeasement. Do Hindus have to elect such morally bankrupt, corrupt Congress Party leaders into Power?<br /><br />In order to secure India’s interests and sacred culture, India needs strong nationalist leaders with mission, vision and pro-Hindu strategies.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-4731462251101041962010-12-19T19:02:00.000-08:002010-12-19T19:03:50.376-08:00Indians have succeeded in countries ruled by whites, but failed in their own.The saddest story of the century<br /><br />I would like to sum up our performance in the 20th century in one sentence.<br /><br /><br />This outcome would have astonished leaders of our independence movement. They declared Indians were kept down by white rule and could flourish only under self-rule. This seemed self-evident The harsh reality today is that Indians are succeeding brilliantly in countries ruled by whites, but failing<br />in India . They are flourishing in the USA and Britain .<br /> But those that stay in India are pulled down by an outrageous system that fails to reward merit or talent. Fails to allow people and businesses to<br />grow, and keeps real power with netas, babus, and assorted manipulators. Once Indians go to white-ruled countries, they soar and conquer summits once occupied only by whites.<br /> Rono Dutta has become head of United Airlines, the biggest airline in the world. Had he stayed in India , he would have no chance in Indian Airlines. Even if the top job there was given to him by some godfather, a myriad netas, babus and trade unionists would have ensured that he could never run it like United Airlines.<br />Rana Talwar has become head of Standard Chartered Bank, one of the biggest multinational banks in Britain , while still in his 40s. Had he been in<br />India , he would perhaps be a local manager in the State Bank, taking orders from babus to give loans to politically favoured clients.<br /> Rajat Gupta is head of Mckinsey, the biggest management consultancy firm in the world. He now advises the biggest multinationals on how to run their business. Had he remained in India he would probably be taking orders from some sethji with no qualification save that of being born in a rich family.<br /> Lakhsmi Mittal has become the biggest steel baron in the world, with steel plants in the US , Kazakhstan , Germany , Mexico , Trinidad and Indonesia . India 's socialist policies reserved the domestic steel industry for the public sector. So Lakhsmi Mittal went to Indonesia to run his family's first steel plant there. Once freed from the shackles of India , he conquered the world.<br /> Subhash Chandra of Zee TV has become a global media king, one of the few to beat Rupert Murdoch. He could never have risen had he been limited to India , which decreed a TV monopoly for Doordarshan. But technology came to his aid: satellite TV made it possible for him to target India from Hong Kong . Once he escaped Indian rules and soil, he soared.<br /> You may not have heard of 48-year old Gururaj Deshpande. His communications company, Sycamore, is currently valued by the US stock market at over $ 30 billion, making him perhaps one of the richest Indians in the world. Had he remained in India , he would probably be a babu in the Department of Telecommunications.<br /> Sabeer Bhatia invented Hotmail and sold it to Microsoft for $ 400 million. Victor Menezes is number two in Citibank. Shailesh Mehta is CEO of<br />Providian, a top US financial services company. Also at or near the top are Rakesh Gangwal of US Air, Jamshd Wadia of Arthur Andersen, and Aman Mehta of Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp.<br /> In Washington DC , the Indian CEO High Tech Council has no less than 200 members, all high tech-chiefs. While Indians have soared, India has<br />stagnated. At independence India was the most advanced of all colonies, with the best prospects.<br /> Today with a GNP per head of $370, it occupies a lowly 177th position among 209 countries of the world. But poverty is by no means the only or main problem. India ranks near the bottom in the UNDP's Human Development Index, but high up in Transparency International's Corruption Index.<br /><br />The neta-babu raj brought in by socialist policies is only one reason for India 's failure. The more sordid reason is the rule-based society we<br />inherited from the British Raj is today in tatters. Instead money, muscle and influence matter most.<br /> At independence we were justly proud of our politicians. Today we regard them as scoundrels and criminals. They have created a jungle of laws in the holy name of socialism, and used these to line their pockets and create patronage networks. No influential crook suffers. The Mafia flourish<br />unhindered because they have political links.<br /> The sons of police officers believe they have a licence to rape and kill (ask the Mattoo family). Talent cannot take you far amidst such rank<br />misgovernance. We are reverting to our ancient feudal system where no rules applied to the powerful. The British Raj brought in abstract concepts of<br />justice for all, equality before the law. These were maintained in the early years of independence. But sixty years later, citizens wail that India is a<br />lawless land where no rules are obeyed.<br /> I have heard of an IAS probationer at the Mussorie training academy pointing out that in India before the British came, making money and distributing favours to relatives was not considered a perversion of power, it was the very rationale of power. A feudal official had a duty to enrich his family and caste. Then the British came and imposed a new ethical code on officials. But, he asked, why should we continue to choose British customs<br />over desi ones now that we are independent?<br /> The lack of transparent rules, properly enforced, is a major reason why talented Indians cannot rise in India . A second reason is the neta-babu<br />raj, which remains intact despite supposed liberalisation. But once talented Indians go to rule-based societies in the west, they take off. In those<br />societies all people play by the same rules, all have freedom to innovate without being strangled by regulations.<br /> This, then, is why Indians succeed in countries ruled by whites, and fail in their own.<br />It is the saddest story of the century.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-21463656887015115412010-12-09T17:34:00.001-08:002010-12-09T17:34:57.021-08:00Is India’s young population a time-bomb waiting to explode?7 DECEMBER 2010 225 VIEWS 7 COMMENTS<br /><br />One of the strongest theme in the narrative about India’s potential as a “superpower” is its youthful demographics (almost half of the population under the age of 25). Like many of us, I too have been guilty of publicly trumpeting this factor – and mentioning this as one of the reasons why this century can be an “Indian century“.<br /><br />But last week I stumbled on Prof Kartik Hosanagar’s article on this topic…and that gave me cause to re-think. Here is Prof Hosanagar – in his own words (emphasis mine):<br /><br />This (India’s demographic dividend) sounds great in theory. And in fact, there is ample evidence that in the past, several countries have witnessed periods of increased productivity and savings during periods in which they have enjoyed a demographic dividend. But all this assumes that this young and upcoming workforce can be trained and meaningfully employed. In India, that is a big if.<br /><br />Here is why:<br /><br />India still has the world’s largest number of illiterates at over 250 million. Although more and more jobs are being created thanks to the economic boom, the gap between the haves and have-nots seems to be increasing. I shudder to think what might happen if we have a sudden influx of large numbers of unemployed and disgruntled youth.<br /><br />…Not only does India need to train and employ many orders of magnitude more people but it has also to start from a worse initial position in terms of existing educational infrastructure. We will need a massive infrastructure of universities and vocational training institutes spanning the country, including its rural interiors.<br /><br />…<br />The conversation with Mr. Sibal reminded me of the obvious challenges ahead. But it was Mr. Vijay Mahajan, the founder of the microfinance company BASIX, who perhaps best drove home the significance of the issue. He worries that all the recent growth, while very welcome, has unfortunately not been inclusive. He believes that people increasingly have high aspirations, driven by the influence of media, but limited potential to achieve those aspirations. With limited access to quality education and employment, most of the youth will enter the labor force at the lowest levels. The frustration feeds into movements like Naxalism and even manifests itself in the form of violence based on religion or regionalism.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now, Prof Hosanagar is not a Doomsday Pundit…<br /><br />I do not wish to sound like the grim reaper. My point is not that India faces doom. Rather, I agree that a rosy future awaits India. But this future cannot be taken for granted…<br /><br />As I mentioned before, I have been as guilty as many others of highlighting the demographic advantage…but I will repeat the caveat I usually put in at the end, which is:<br /><br />A youthful population is an asset only if it is healthy – and it is educated (read skilled). Otherwise it can be a massive force of social disruption…<br /><br />Dis-satisfied young populations – as many of you know – can be easily swayed be rhetoric and can be emotionally aroused without much effort. They can also be “primed” relatively easily to create extreme social unrest – and potentially even trigger civil wars…<br /><br />So next time someone says “Demographic Dividend”, let us just pause for a moment and think how we can ensure that the demographic dividend does not turn out to be a liability..and let us try to make sure we are not sitting on a demographic time-bomb. Comments and thoughts welcome, as always.<br /><br />Additional Reading: Population Age Structure and Its Relation to Civil Conflict: A Graphic Metric from which this brief, somewhat worrying excerpt:<br /><br />About 86 percent of all countries that experienced a new outbreak of civil conflict had age structures with 60 percent or more of the population younger than 30 years of age.<br /><br />Somewhat related post: This weekend, worrying about Assam<br /><br />Map of Global Median Age, courtesy CIA Factbook via Wikipedia<br /><br /><br /> <br />7 Comments »<br />1. bhuvan said:<br />Thanks for sharing a valuable article Shantanu. Replying in jiffy will revert later. Just a quick observation and I always feel (which is not a great feeling at all), we are moving towards a CIVIL WAR/REVOLUTION SITUATION SLOWLY BUT SURELY.<br /><br />7 December 2010<br />2. Sanjeev Sabhlok said:<br />Dear Shantanu<br /><br />It is not population structure but policy that makes nations. There is no direct causality. Some random correlations may exist, but they prove nothing. The Russian Revolution, for instance, cannot be explained by population structure but by Lenin. And US was a very young nation after World War II (baby boom) but did not face social unrest – instead, it boomed economically.<br /><br />Let’s not worry about irrelevant policy variables like population structure and focus on the need to resolve India’s problems through good governance. Revolution will occur from governance failures, not population structure issues.<br /><br />Regards<br />Sanjeev<br /><br />8 December 2010<br />3. girish said:<br />Agree totally that demographic dividend cannot be obtained without a healthy and educated indian population.One can see so much of unrest among youth who have formed various groups to fight out various different issues being faced by them. A totally irresponsible government and a lethargic judiciary will certainly fuel the civilians towards a civil war.<br /><br />8 December 2010<br />4. Ranganaathan said:<br />Good post, it is highly critical to train the youth & guide them into professions. The divide of haves n have nots have grown to extreme level, as Prof.Hosnagar points out this would stem frustration in youth. We are already experiencing this in few pockets, where youth are taking to fundamentalism/Naxalism as a solution for their aspirations. There huge population under employed youth, whose grudge towards the nation & its governance might be a danger. Aspirations & expectation have grown manifolds in the last decade with IT, service, financial sector booms & with consumerism centric business models they find it very difficult to balance their lively hood. The need of the hour is to counsel, educate, train youths on various vocations & to guide them towards empowering others in their realm. Jai Hind..Vande Mataram<br /><br />8 December 2010<br />5. Ram Lanka said:<br />Thought provoking post. I fully agree with the professors apprehension. Way out is inclusive growth based on indegenous ideology & technology. Growth that we are witnessing is based on BPO’s, Medical transcriptionists, software servicing and ancillary industries like travel & hospitality. These are associated spiralling incidence of alcoholism, high degree of personal indulgence, divorces etc apart from leaving out the vast majority of the country from the benefits of this pseudo growth. Another pernicious aspect of this so called growth is rapid increase of real estate business leading to vast areas of agriculture land being applied for commercial purposes & crops. This is leading to unacceptable increase in basic essentials of life like food. Add to this the all pervasive corruption. If one dispassionately looks at it, one cannot but agree with the learned professor.<br /><br />I am calling this growth as psuedo & pernicious because this has no strategic direction or sense and is bereft of the wisdom that amde this land & civilization the richest in the world till the British plundered us. I am afraid, we are falling prey to the colonial players once again.<br /><br />8 December 2010<br />6. Prakash said:<br />It is good to see a discussion on this issue.<br /><br />How do we gainfully employ the huge Indian working age population? With modern farming and manufacturing techniques, those sectors will only employ a small fraction. Ditto government jobs. IT services for West is a candle that will soon burn out. IT sector employs a very small fraction anyway. Still, the money earned by our quality IT service companies has got the economy moving. The momentum must be maintained by improving domestic services.<br /><br />To improve legal employment opportunities, India should legalise gambling. It should also undertake a massive exercise of identifying national and regional historical locations and monuments and create tourism infrastructure. Thousands of students should be trained in history and geography, arts and culture, and Indian languages. We must enforce 3-language formula. There are many possibilities, however, there are many obstacles, too. History is corrupted by political interests. Gambling is anathema to ivory tower moralists. Culture is a no-no for religious zealots from West who have money and power to stop developments in that area…<br /><br />It isn’t easy.<br /><br />10 December 2010<br />7.

Payments were authorized by a resolution, CPSU/CC/No 11228/3 dated 20/12/1985; and endorsed by the USSR Council of Ministers in Directive No 2633/Rs dated 20/12/1985. These payments had been coming since 1971, as payments received by Sonia Gandhi's family and "have been audited in CPSU/CC resolution No 11187/22 OP dated 10/12/1984.[40] In 1992 the media confronted the Russian government with the Albats disclosure. The Russian government confirmed the veracity of the disclosure and defended it as necessary for "Soviet ideological interest."[41][42]<br /> On 14 June 2002, the Delhi High Court peremptorily dismissed a Writ Petition (WP(C) 3856/2002)[43][verification needed] filed by Janata Party President, former Union Minister Dr. Subramanian Swamy[44][verification needed] seeking CBI inquiry into allegations by a Russian journalist Dr. Albats that KGB funds were paid to members of the Gandhi family.[citation needed]<br /><br />Niira Radia Tapes<br /> The name of Rahul Gandhi figures in a conversation between lobbyist Niira Radia and Mani Shankar Aiyar in the tapped recordings released in November 2010, in which Aiyar mentions that Rahul and Dayanidhi Maran had 'some business interests, which was always going to be an issue (in Ministers' portfolio allocations)'. He mentions that this was something that was dropped 'galti se' (mistakenly) by Maran in 2006.[45]<br /><br />Boston Airport<br />In 2005 Four lawyers including Prem Chandra Sharma filed a public litigation petition in the High Court. They requested that information be made available to the public in regard to an incident on September 21, 2001 at Boston Airport where Rahul Gandhi and his Spanish girlfriend Veronique[46] were detained by the FBI for questioning, and verification if Mr. Gandhi was carrying $200,000 in cash which he was unable to explain to the airport authorities.[47][48]<br /> The lawyers provided further evidence that Mr. Gandhi's release may have been secured by Brijesh Mishra the then principal secretary to the Prime Minister Hajpayee. The petition sought a writ of mandamus to the Indian ambassador to the US and the Union Home Secretary to make a disclosure about the episode.[47] However previously, The Hindu newspaper had reported that according to "a senior" Indian diplomat there had been no involvement by the Indian envoy to the US in the matter.[48]<br /><br />Must see - Fascinating info on Sonia Gandhi and family<br />Please watch these fascinating videos-- Subramaniam Swamy's speaks of his extensive research on the back ground of Sonia Gandhi and family<br />The whole Sequence is<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6HlUcr_YDA<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj07aTnq5gs<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMQ6ba8TXH8<br />November 24, 2010.<br />Dr. Manmohan Singh, <br />Prime Minister of India , <br />South Block, <br />New Delhi . <br />Dear Prime Minister: <br />You may by now have realized that the 2G Spectrum scandal is not only bad for the country in the dimension of corruption, but now it emerges that there is a national security dimension too. The RAW, IB, CBI, ED all have enough material which they may have placed before you regarding the dubious aspects of the principal player in this scam. <br />According to my information two sisters, Anushka and Nadia, of Ms Sonia Gandhi had received sixty percent of the kickbacks in this deal i.e. Rs.18,000 crores each. The frequent travel of Sonia Gandhi and her immediate family to Malaysia , Hongkong, Dubai and parts of Europe including London requires to be probed under the law. What requires your special attention is the mode of the travel, not by commercial airliners, but by jets provided by the corporate sector which itself is illegal under the DGCA Rules. I find that often Ms. Sonia Gandhi and family have traveled to Dubai and then traveled onwards on private jets provided by dubious Arab business interests to Europe . It is not clear on what passport they have traveled. In Dubai they were felicitated by agencies of countries which are hostile to India including that of Pakistan . <br />You can no more not take a stand when evil is permeating in the country in the form of terrorism, religious conversion and demographic infiltration. The ill-gotten money in billions of dollars equivalent, the money laundering and Participatory Notes have all undermined our national integrity. The time is come for you to take a stand. <br />I am familiar with the information and data with our intelligent agencies. I also know that you can seek cooperation of other countries especially the United States in pooling information especially from inter Intelligence interaction that take place regularly. I hope therefore you will rise to the need of the hour and take effective steps to set right the sorry state of affairs in the country caused by overtly and covertly resident foreigners. In this connection I would like to meet you at the earliest. My Secretary will be in touch with your Secretariat to fix a time. <br />Yours sincerely, <br />(Sd SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY )<br /> Sonia should quit all her positions of profit and allow herself and her family to be interrogated by a high-level commission of inquiry under the supervision and monitoring of the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

If nationalist Hindus have to plan any thing against her they have to plan by taking full view of the strengths she has by her foreign connections and local stupid. Why?<br />The answer to this “why” is big but I shall try to make it short. The answer is ,<br /> <br />The stupid boy who married her eventually was not interested in a bar girl which she was at the time of their meetings. He just wanted to play around with her but committed the stupidity of going to churches with her where she introduced to him the locals as the son of India ’s PM.<br />So when the stupid boy wanted to quit finally with her, some local political mafia in connection with higher level political mafia threatened him with dire consequences for staying with her so long and duping her now.

The problem has given rise to quick-fix slimming centres everywhere. Most of these centres lure the people by offering miracle solutions with medicines, super fat free diet, and new exercise gadgets. Most of their methods prove unscientific and dangerous. Their side effects can actually ruin your health instead of making you slim and healthy. Moreover after a short period you will again start gaining weight. The exercise which can be done at home is the best method and you can learn it easily. But never jump upon any exercise schedule with full force. Take it easy. Start with only a ten minutes schedule everyday (home exercise schedule) and then increase the time of the activities gradually. You can incorporate some outdoor activities in your exercise schedule. <br /><br />1. Running at Slow Pace<br /><br />Running is a good exercise for weight-reduction. You can go to a nearby park and enjoy running. You can burn more than 100 calories just in fifteen minutes.<br /><br />2. Running at a Place<br /><br />If you don’t want to go out you can get the same benefit at your home by running at a place. You can do it in any small corner of your house. You can also jump at a place to get the same benefit.<br /><br />3. Lie Down and Cycle<br /><br />It is the best exercise for your stomach and thighs. You can do this exercise by lying on bed and moving your legs like you are cycling. <br /><br />4. Moving Arms Up and Down<br /><br />Stand at a place. Move your arms to upward direction simultaneously moving your body up with the help of feet fingers. Then bring your arms down along with your body. <br /><br />5. Body Movement to Different Directions<br /><br />You can do this exercise by moving any part of your body specially arms and legs to different directions as seems easy to you. Never make any strenuous movements. Such simple movements give exercise to almost all the parts of your body. <br /><br />6. Do Household Work<br /><br />Doing the household work as much as you can will prove one of the best weight control method. You not only get a good exercise but also get a satisfaction of completing those works which needed your attention. <br /><br />7. Use Stairs<br /><br />For going up try to use stairs instead of escalators or elevators. Stairs may take more time but the exercise your body get will be immensely beneficial<br /><br />8. Walk to Your Working Place<br /><br />Try to walk to your working place. If it is very far try to park your vehicle somewhat away from your working place so that you may get opportunity to walk. Walk as much as possible. It is the easiest way to burn extra calories and get stamina. Brisk walking burns around 180 calories in half an hour. <br /><br />9. Enjoy the Fun of Cycling<br /><br />Instead of two-wheelers we need to popularize cycling again for shopping or covering short distances. It is a wonderful cardio activity. It burns between 100 to 200 calories just in fifteen minutes. If you hesitate to go out on cycle keep a cycling machine at home. It is equally beneficial. But you will surely miss fun of outdoor. <br /><br />10. Start Lifting Weights<br /><br />Young men love to lift weights and they mostly do it to build muscles. Just after six months training they find that they are looking more beautiful and healthy. But aged and physical weak persons must consult a physician before opting for hard exercise schedule. And most of the ladies don’t like any muscle building exercise.<br /><br />This simple exercise schedule will actually change your life style giving you a fit and healthy body as well as a long life.<br /><br />Anandrahi<br />Anandrahi.comDr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844585560524231887.post-42015751139642794872010-11-27T11:47:00.000-08:002010-11-27T11:48:40.280-08:00अकबर से महान कौन?November 27, 2010 By Agniveer Leave a Comment<br />Kindly review What does Agniveer stand for to understand the overall perspective behind any article on Agniveer site. Thanks.<br />This post is also available in: English<br />हमारे पाठकों को अपने विद्यालय के दिनों में पढ़े इतिहास में अकबर का नाम और काम बखूबी याद होगा. रियासतों के रूप में टुकड़ों टुकड़ों में टूटे हुए भारत को एक बनाने की बात हो, या हिन्दू मुस्लिम झगडे मिटाने को दीन ए इलाही चलाने की बात, सब मजहब की दीवारें तोड़कर हिन्दू लड़कियों को अपने साथ शादी करने का सम्मान देने की बात हो, या हिन्दुओं के पवित्र स्थानों पर जाकर सजदा करने की, हिन्दुओं पर से जजिया कर हटाने की बात हो या फिर हिन्दुओं को अपने दरबार में जगह देने की, अकबर ही अकबर सब ओर दिखाई देता है. सच है कि हमारे इतिहासकार किसी को महान यूँ ही नहीं कह देते. इस महानता को पाने के लिए राम, कृष्ण, विक्रमादित्य, पृथ्वीराज, राणा प्रताप, शिवाजी और न जाने ऐसे कितने ही महापुरुषों के नाम तरसते रहे, पर इनके साथ “महान” शब्द न लग सका.<br />हमें याद है कि इतिहास की किताबों में अकबर पर पूरे अध्याय के अन्दर दो पंक्तियाँ महाराणा प्रताप पर भी होती थीं. मसलन वो कब पैदा हुए, कब मरे, कैसे विद्रोह किया, और कैसे उनके ही राजपूत उनके खिलाफ थे. इतिहासकार महाराणा प्रताप को कभी महान न कह सके. ठीक ही तो है! अकबर और राणा का मुकाबला क्या है? कहाँ अकबर पूरे भारत का सम्राट, अपने हरम में पांच हज़ार से भी ज्यादा औरतों की जिन्दगी रोशन करने वाला, उनसे दिल्लगी कर उन्हें शान बख्शने वाला, बीसियों राजपूत राजाओं को अपने दरबार में रखने वाला, और कहाँ राणा प्रताप, क्षुद्र क्षत्रिय, अपने राज्य के लिए लड़ने वाला, सत्ता का भूखा, सत्ता के लिए वन वन भटककर पत्तलों पर घास की रोटियाँ खाने वाला, जिसका कोई हरम ही नहीं इस तरह का छोटा और निष्ठुर हृदय, सब राजपूतों से केवल इसलिए लड़ने वाला कि उन्होंने अपनी लड़कियां, पत्नियाँ, बहनें अकबर को भेजीं, अकबर “महान” का संधि प्रस्ताव कई बार ठुकराने वाला घमंडी, और मुसलमान राजाओं से रोटी बेटी का सम्बन्ध भी न रखने वाला दकियानूसी, इत्यादि. कहाँ अकबर जैसा त्यागी जो अपने देश को उसके हाल पर छोड़ कर दूसरे देश भारत का भला करने पूरा जीवन यहीं पर रहा, और कहाँ राणा प्रताप जो अपनी जमीन भी ऐसे त्यागी के लिए खाली न कर पाया और इस आशा में कि एक दिन फिर से अपने राज्य पर कब्ज़ा कर लेगा, वनों में धूल फांकता, पत्नी और बच्चों को जंगलों के कष्ट देता सत्ता का भूखा!<br />अकबर “महान” की महानता बताने से पहले उसके महान पूर्वजों के बारे में थोड़ा जान लेना जरूरी है. भारत में पिछले तेरह सौ सालों से इस्लाम के मानने वालों ने लगातार आक्रमण किये. मुहम्मद बिन कासिम और उसके बाद आने वाले गाजियों ने एक के बाद एक हमला करके, यहाँ लूटमार, बलात्कार, नरसंहार और इन सबसे बढ़कर यहाँ रहने वाले काफिरों को अल्लाह और उसके रसूल की इच्छानुसार मुसलमान बनाने का पवित्र किया. आज के अफगानिस्तान तक पश्चिम में फैला उस समय का भारत धीरे धीरे इस्लाम के शिकंजे में आने लगा. आज के अफगानिस्तान में उस समय अहिंसक बौद्धों की निष्क्रियता ने बहुत नुकसान पहुंचाया क्योंकि इसी के चलते मुहम्मद के गाजियों के लश्कर भारत के अंदर घुस पाए. जहाँ जहाँ तक बौद्धों का प्रभाव था, वहाँ पूरी की पूरी आबादी या तो मुसलमान बना दी गयी या काट दी गयी. जहां हिंदुओं ने प्रतिरोध किया, वहाँ न तो गाजियों की अधिक चली और न अल्लाह की. यही कारण है कि सिंध के पूर्व भाग में आज भी हिंदू बहुसंख्यक हैं क्योंकि सिंध के पूर्व में राजपूत, जाट, आदि वीर जातियों ने इस्लाम को उस रूप में बढ़ने से रोक दिया जिस रूप में वह इराक, ईरान, मिस्र, अफगानिस्तान और सिंध के पश्चिम तक फैला था अर्थात वहाँ की पुरानी संस्कृति को मिटा कर केवल इस्लाम में ही रंग दिया गया पर भारत में ऐसा नहीं हो सका.<br />पर बीच बीच में लुटेरे आते गए और देश को लूटते गए. तैमूरलंग ने कत्लेआम करने के नए आयाम स्थापित किये और अपनी इस पशुता को बड़ी ढिटाई से अपनी डायरी में भी लिखता गया. इसके बाद मुग़ल आये जो हमारे इतिहास में इस देश से प्यार करने वाले लिखे गए हैं! बताते चलें कि ये देशभक्त और प्रेमपुजारी मुग़ल, तैमूर और चंगेज खान के कुलों के आपस के विवाह संबंधों का ही परिणाम थे. इनमें बाबर हुआ जो अकबर “महान” का दादा था. यह वही बाबर है जिसने अपने काल में न जाने कितने मंदिर तोड़े, कितने ही हिंदुओं को मुसलमान बनाया, कितने ही हिंदुओं के सिर उतारे और उनसे मीनारें बनायीं. यह सब पवित्र कर्म करके वह उनको अपनी डायरी में लिखता भी रहता था ताकि आने वाली उसकी नस्ल इमान की पक्की हो और इसी नेक राह पर चले. क्योंकि मूर्तिपूजा दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी बुराई है और अल्लाह को वह बर्दाश्त नहीं. इस देशभक्त प्रेमपुजारी बाबर ने प्रसिद्ध राम मंदिर भी तुडवाया और उस जगह पर अपने नाम की मस्जिद बनवाई. यह बात अलग है कि वह अपने समय का प्रसिद्ध नशाखोर, शराबी, हत्यारा, समलैंगिक (पुरुषों से भोग करने वाला), छोटे बच्चों के साथ भी बिस्मिल्लाह पढकर भोग करने वाला था. पर वह था पक्का मुसलमान! तभी तो हमारे देश के मुसलमान भाई अपने असली पूर्वजों को भुला कर इस सच्चे मुसलमान के नाम की मस्जिद बनवाने के लिए दिन रात एक किये हुए हैं. खैर यह वो “महान” अकबर का महान दादा था जो अपने पोते के कारनामों से इस्लामी इतिहास में अपना नाम सुनहरे अक्षरों से लिखवा गया.<br />ऐसे महान दादा के पोते स्वनामधन्य अकबर “महान” के जीवन के कुछ दृश्य आपके सामने रखते हैं. इस काम में हम किसी हिन्दुवादी इतिहासकार के प्रमाण नहीं देंगे क्योंकि वे तो खामखाह अकबर “महान” से चिढ़ते हैं! हम देंगे प्रमाण अबुल फज़ल (अकबर का खास दरबारी) की आइन ए अकबरी और अकबरनामा से. और साथ ही अकबर के जीवन पर सबसे ज्यादा प्रामाणिक इतिहासकार विन्सेंट स्मिथ की अंग्रेजी की किताब “अकबर- द ग्रेट मुग़ल” से. हम दोनों किताबों के प्रमाणों को हिंदी में देंगे ताकि सबको पढ़ने में आसानी रहे. यहाँ याद रहे कि ये दोनों लेखक सदा इस बात के लिए निशाने पर रहे हैं कि इन्होने अकबर की प्रशंसा करते करते बहुत झूठ बातें लिखी हैं, इन्होने बहुत सी उसकी कमियां छुपाई हैं. पर हम यहाँ यह दिखाएँगे कि अकबर के कर्मों का प्रताप ही कुछ ऐसा था कि सच्चाई सौ परदे फाड़ कर उसी तरह सामने आ जाती है जैसे कि अँधेरे को चीर कर उजाला.<br />तो अब नजर डालते हैं अकबर महान से जुडी कुछ बातों पर-<br />अकबर महान का आगाज़<br />१. विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने किताब यहाँ से शुरू की है कि “अकबर भारत में एक विदेशी था. उसकी नसों में एक बूँद खून भी भारतीय नहीं था…. अकबर मुग़ल से ज्यादा एक तुर्क था” पर देखिये! हमारे इतिहासकारों और कहानीकारों ने अकबर को एक भारतीय के रूप में पेश किया है. जबकि हकीकत यह है कि अकबर के सभी पूर्वज बाबर, हुमायूं, से लेकर तैमूर तक सब भारत में लूट, बलात्कार, धर्म परिवर्तन, मंदिर विध्वंस, आदि कामों में लगे रहे. वे कभी एक भारतीय नहीं थे और इसी तरह अकबर भी नहीं था. और इस पर भी हमारी हिंदू जाति अकबर को हिन्दुस्तान की शान समझती रही!<br />अकबर महान की सुंदरता और अच्छी आदतें<br />२. बाबर शराब का शौक़ीन था, इतना कि अधिकतर समय धुत रहता था [बाबरनामा]. हुमायूं अफीम का शौक़ीन था और इस वजह से बहुत लाचार भी हो गया. अकबर ने ये दोनों आदतें अपने पिता और दादा से विरासत में लीं. अकबर के दो बच्चे नशाखोरी की आदत के चलते अल्लाह को प्यारे हुए. पर इतने पर भी इस बात पर तो किसी मुसलमान भाई को शक ही नहीं कि ये सब सच्चे मुसलमान थे.<br />३. कई इतिहासकार अकबर को सबसे सुन्दर आदमी घोषित करते हैं. विन्सेंट स्मिथ इस सुंदरता का वर्णन यूँ करते हैं-<br />“अकबर एक औसत दर्जे की लम्बाई का था. उसके बाएं पैर में लंगड़ापन था. उसका सिर अपने दायें कंधे की तरफ झुका रहता था. उसकी नाक छोटी थी जिसकी हड्डी बाहर को निकली हुई थी. उसके नाक के नथुने ऐसे दीखते थे जैसे वो गुस्से में हो. आधे मटर के दाने के बराबर एक मस्सा उसके होंठ और नथुनों को मिलाता था. वह गहरे रंग का था”<br />४. जहाँगीर ने लिखा है कि अकबर उसे सदा शेख ही बुलाता था भले ही वह नशे की हालत में हो या चुस्ती की हालत में. इसका मतलब यह है कि अकबर काफी बार नशे की हालत में रहता था.<br />५. अकबर का दरबारी लिखता है कि अकबर ने इतनी ज्यादा पीनी शुरू कर दी थी कि वह मेहमानों से बात करता करता भी नींद में गिर पड़ता था. वह अक्सर ताड़ी पीता था. वह जब ज्यादा पी लेता था तो आपे से बाहर हो जाता था और पागलो के जैसे हरकत करने लगता.<br />अकबर महान की शिक्षा<br />६. जहाँगीर ने लिखा है कि अकबर कुछ भी लिखना पढ़ना नहीं जानता था पर यह दिखाता था कि वह बड़ा भारी विद्वान है.<br />अकबर महान का मातृशक्ति (स्त्रियों) के लिए आदर<br />७. अबुल फज़ल ने लिखा है कि अपने राजा बनने के शुरूआती सालों में अकबर परदे के पीछे ही रहा! परदे के पीछे वो किस बेशर्मी को बेपर्दा कर रहा था उसकी जानकारी आगे पढ़िए.<br />८. अबुल फज़ल ने अकबर के हरम को इस तरह वर्णित किया है- “अकबर के हरम में पांच हजार औरतें थीं और हर एक का अपना अलग घर था.” ये पांच हजार औरतें उसकी ३६ पत्नियों से अलग थीं.<br />९. आइन ए अकबरी में अबुल फजल ने लिखा है- “शहंशाह के महल के पास ही एक शराबखाना बनाया गया था. वहाँ इतनी वेश्याएं इकट्ठी हो गयीं कि उनकी गिनती करनी भी मुश्किल हो गयी. दरबारी नर्तकियों को अपने घर ले जाते थे. अगर कोई दरबारी किसी नयी लड़की को घर ले जाना चाहे तो उसको अकबर से आज्ञा लेनी पड़ती थी. कई बार जवान लोगों में लड़ाई झगडा भी हो जाता था. एक बार अकबर ने खुद कुछ वेश्याओं को बुलाया और उनसे पूछा कि उनसे सबसे पहले भोग किसने किया”.<br />अब यहाँ सवाल पैदा होता है कि ये वेश्याएं इतनी बड़ी संख्या में कहाँ से आयीं और कौन थीं? आप सब जानते ही होंगे कि इस्लाम में स्त्रियाँ परदे में रहती हैं, बाहर नहीं. और फिर अकबर जैसे नेक मुसलमान को इतना तो ख्याल होगा ही कि मुसलमान औरतों से वेश्यावृत्ति कराना गलत है. तो अब यह सोचना कठिन नहीं है कि ये स्त्रियां कौन थीं. ये वो स्त्रियाँ थीं जो लूट के माल में अल्लाह द्वारा मोमिनों के भोगने के लिए दी जाती हैं, अर्थात काफिरों की हत्या करके उनकी लड़कियां, पत्नियाँ आदि. अकबर की सेनाओं के हाथ युद्ध में जो भी हिंदू स्त्रियाँ लगती थीं, ये उसी की भीड़ मदिरालय में लगती थी.<br />१०. अबुल फजल ने अकबरनामा में लिखा है- “जब भी कभी कोई रानी, दरबारियों की पत्नियाँ, या नयी लडकियां शहंशाह की सेवा (यह साधारण सेवा नहीं है) में जाना चाहती थी तो पहले उसे अपना आवेदन पत्र हरम प्रबंधक के पास भेजना पड़ता था. फिर यह पत्र महल के अधिकारियों तक पहुँचता था और फिर जाकर उन्हें हरम के अंदर जाने दिया जाता जहां वे एक महीने तक रखी जाती थीं.”<br />अब यहाँ देखना चाहिए कि चाटुकार अबुल फजल भी इस बात को छुपा नहीं सका कि अकबर अपने हरम में दरबारियों, राजाओं और लड़कियों तक को भी महीने के लिए रख लेता था. पूरी प्रक्रिया को संवैधानिक बनाने के लिए इस धूर्त चाटुकार ने चाल चली है कि स्त्रियाँ खुद अकबर की सेवा में पत्र भेज कर जाती थीं! इस मूर्ख को इतनी बुद्धि भी नहीं थी कि ऐसी कौन सी स्त्री होगी जो पति के सामने ही खुल्लम खुल्ला किसी और पुरुष की सेवा में जाने का आवेदन पत्र दे दे? मतलब यह है कि वास्तव में अकबर महान खुद ही आदेश देकर जबरदस्ती किसी को भी अपने हरम में रख लेता था और उनका सतीत्व नष्ट करता था.<br />११. रणथंभोर की संधि में अकबर महान की पहली शर्त यह थी कि राजपूत अपनी स्त्रियों की डोलियों को अकबर के शाही हरम के लिए रवाना कर दें यदि वे अपने सिपाही वापस चाहते हैं.<br />१२. बैरम खान जो अकबर के पिता तुल्य और संरक्षक था, उसकी हत्या करके इसने उसकी पत्नी अर्थात अपनी माता के तुल्य स्त्री से शादी की.<br />१३. ग्रीमन के अनुसार अकबर अपनी रखैलों को अपने दरबारियों में बाँट देता था. औरतों को एक वस्तु की तरह बांटना और खरीदना अकबर महान बखूबी करता था.<br />१४. मीना बाजार जो हर नए साल की पहली शाम को लगता था, इसमें सब स्त्रियों को सज धज कर आने के आदेश दिए जाते थे और फिर अकबर महान उनमें से किसी को चुन लेते थे.<br />नेक दिल अकबर महान<br />१५. ६ नवम्बर १५५६ को १४ साल की आयु में अकबर महान पानीपत की लड़ाई में भाग ले रहा था. हिंदू राजा हेमू की सेना मुग़ल सेना को खदेड़ रही थी कि अचानक हेमू को आँख में तीर लगा और वह बेहोश हो गया. उसे मरा सोचकर उसकी सेना में भगदड़ मच गयी. तब हेमू को बेहोशी की हालत में अकबर महान के सामने लाया गया और इसने बहादुरी से हेमू का सिर काट लिया और तब इसे गाजी के खिताब से नवाजा गया. (गाजी की पदवी इस्लाम में उसे मिलती है जिसने किसी काफिर को कतल किया हो. ऐसे गाजी को जन्नत नसीब होती है और वहाँ सबसे सुन्दर हूरें इनके लिए बुक होती हैं). हेमू के सिर को काबुल भिजा दिया गया एवं उसके धड को दिल्ली के दरवाजे से लटका दिया गया ताकि नए आतंकवादी बादशाह की रहमदिली सब को पता चल सके.<br />१६. इसके तुरंत बाद जब अकबर महान की सेना दिल्ली आई तो कटे हुए काफिरों के सिरों से मीनार बनायी गयी जो जीत के जश्न का प्रतीक है और यह तरीका अकबर महान के पूर्वजों से ही चला आ रहा है.<br />१७. हेमू के बूढ़े पिता को भी अकबर महान ने कटवा डाला. और औरतों को उनकी सही जगह अर्थात शाही हरम में भिजवा दिया गया.<br />१८. अबुल फजल लिखता है कि खान जमन के विद्रोह को दबाने के लिए उसके साथी मोहम्मद मिराक को हथकडियां लगा कर हाथी के सामने छोड़ दिया गया. हाथी ने उसे सूंड से उठाकर फैंक दिया. ऐसा पांच दिनों तक चला और उसके बाद उसको मार डाला गया.<br />१९. चित्तौड़ पर कब्ज़ा करने के बाद अकबर महान ने तीस हजार नागरिकों का क़त्ल करवाया.<br />२०. अकबर ने मुजफ्फर शाह को हाथी से कुचलवाया. हमजबान की जबान ही कटवा डाली. मसूद हुसैन मिर्ज़ा की आँखें सीकर बंद कर दी गयीं. उसके ३०० साथी उसके सामने लाये गए और उनके चेहरे पर गधों, भेड़ों और कुत्तों की खालें डाल कर काट डाला गया. विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने यह लिखा है कि अकबर महान फांसी देना, सिर कटवाना, शरीर के अंग कटवाना, आदि सजाएं भी देते थे.<br />२१. २ सितम्बर १५७३ के दिन अहमदाबाद में उसने २००० दुश्मनों के सिर काटकर अब तक की सबसे ऊंची सिरों की मीनार बनायी. वैसे इसके पहले सबसे ऊंची मीनार बनाने का सौभाग्य भी अकबर महान के दादा बाबर का ही था. अर्थात कीर्तिमान घर के घर में ही रहा!<br />२२. अकबरनामा के अनुसार जब बंगाल का दाउद खान हारा, तो कटे सिरों के आठ मीनार बनाए गए थे. यह फिर से एक नया कीर्तिमान था. जब दाउद खान ने मरते समय पानी माँगा तो उसे जूतों में पानी पीने को दिया गया.<br />न्यायकारी अकबर महान<br />२३. थानेश्वर में दो संप्रदायों कुरु और पुरी के बीच पूजा की जगह को लेकर विवाद चल रहा था. अकबर ने आदेश दिया कि दोनों आपस में लड़ें और जीतने वाला जगह पर कब्ज़ा कर ले. उन मूर्ख आत्मघाती लोगों ने आपस में ही अस्त्र शस्त्रों से लड़ाई शुरू कर दी. जब पुरी पक्ष जीतने लगा तो अकबर ने अपने सैनकों को कुरु पक्ष की तरफ से लड़ने का आदेश दिया. और अंत में इसने दोनों तरफ के लोगों को ही अपने सैनिकों से मरवा डाला. और फिर अकबर महान जोर से हंसा.<br />२४. हल्दीघाटी के युद्ध में अकबर की नीति यही थी कि राजपूत ही राजपूतों के विरोध में लड़ें. बादायुनी ने अकबर के सेनापति से बीच युद्ध में पूछा कि प्रताप के राजपूतों को हमारी तरफ से लड़ रहे राजपूतों से कैसे अलग पहचानेंगे? तब उसने कहा कि इसकी जरूरत नहीं है क्योंकि किसी भी हालत में मरेंगे तो राजपूत ही और फायदा इस्लाम का होगा.<br />२५. कर्नल टोड लिखते हैं कि अकबर ने एकलिंग की मूर्ति तोड़ी और उस स्थान पर नमाज पढ़ी.<br />२६. एक बार अकबर शाम के समय जल्दी सोकर उठ गया तो उसने देखा कि एक नौकर उसके बिस्तर के पास सो रहा है. इससे उसको इतना गुस्सा आया कि नौकर को इस बात के लिए एक मीनार से नीचे फिंकवा दिया.<br />२७. अगस्त १६०० में अकबर की सेना ने असीरगढ़ का किला घेर लिया पर मामला बराबरी का था. न तो वह किला टोड पाया और न ही किले की सेना अकबर को हरा सकी. विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने लिखा है कि अकबर ने एक अद्भुत तरीका सोचा. उसने किले के राजा मीरां बहादुर को आमंत्रित किया और अपने सिर की कसम खाई कि उसे सुरक्षित वापस जाने देगा. तब मीरां शान्ति के नाम पर बाहर आया और अकबर के सामने सम्मान दिखाने के लिए तीन बार झुका. पर अचानक उसे जमीन पर धक्का दिया गया ताकि वह पूरा सजदा कर सके क्योंकि अकबर महान को यही पसंद था.<br />उसको अब पकड़ लिया गया और आज्ञा दी गयी कि अपने सेनापति को कहकर आत्मसमर्पण करवा दे. सेनापति ने मानने से मना कर दिया और अपने लड़के को अकबर के पास यह पूछने भेजा कि उसने अपनी प्रतिज्ञा क्यों तोड़ी? अकबर ने बच्चे से पूछा कि क्या तेरा पिता आत्मसमर्पण के लिए तैयार है? तब बालक ने कहा कि उसका पिता समर्पण नहीं करेगा चाहे राजा को मार ही क्यों न डाला जाए. यह सुनकर अकबर महान ने उस बालक को मार डालने का आदेश दिया. इस तरह झूठ के बल पर अकबर महान ने यह किला जीता.<br />यहाँ ध्यान देना चाहिए कि यह घटना अकबर की मृत्यु से पांच साल पहले की ही है. अतः कई लोगों का यह कहना कि अकबर बाद में बदल गया था, एक झूठ बात है.<br />२८. इसी तरह अपने ताकत के नशे में चूर अकबर ने बुंदेलखंड की प्रतिष्ठित रानी दुर्गावती से लड़ाई की और लोगों का क़त्ल किया.<br />अकबर महान और महाराणा प्रताप<br />२९. ऐसे इतिहासकार जिनका अकबर दुलारा और चहेता है, एक बात नहीं बताते कि कैसे एक ही समय पर राणा प्रताप और अकबर महान हो सकते थे जबकि दोनों एक दूसरे के घोर विरोधी थे?<br />३०. यहाँ तक कि विन्सेंट स्मिथ जैसे अकबर प्रेमी को भी यह बात माननी पड़ी कि चित्तौड़ पर हमले के पीछे केवल उसकी सब कुछ जीतने की हवस ही काम कर रही थी. वहीँ दूसरी तरफ महाराणा प्रताप अपने देश के लिए लड़ रहे थे और कोशिश की कि राजपूतों की इज्जत उनकी स्त्रियां मुगलों के हरम में न जा सकें. शायद इसी लिए अकबर प्रेमी इतिहासकारों ने राणा को लड़ाकू और अकबर को देश निर्माता के खिताब से नवाजा है!<br />अकबर महान अगर, राणा शैतान तो<br />शूकर है राजा, नहीं शेर वनराज है<br />अकबर आबाद और राणा बर्बाद है तो<br />हिजड़ों की झोली पुत्र, पौरुष बेकार है<br />अकबर महाबली और राणा बलहीन तो<br />कुत्ता चढ़ा है जैसे मस्तक गजराज है<br />अकबर सम्राट, राणा छिपता भयभीत तो<br />हिरण सोचे, सिंह दल उसका शिकार है<br />अकबर निर्माता, देश भारत है उसकी देन<br />कहना यह जिनका शत बार धिक्कार है<br />अकबर है प्यारा जिसे राणा स्वीकार नहीं<br />रगों में पिता का जैसे खून अस्वीकार है.<br />अकबर और इस्लाम<br />३१. हिन्दुस्तानी मुसलमानों को यह कह कर बेवकूफ बनाया जाता है कि अकबर ने इस्लाम की अच्छाइयों को पेश किया. असलियत यह है कि कुरआन के खिलाफ जाकर ३६ शादियाँ करना, शराब पीना, नशा करना, दूसरों से अपने आगे सजदा करवाना आदि करके भी इस्लाम को अपने दामन से बाँधे रखा ताकि राजनैतिक फायदा मिल सके. और सबसे मजेदार बात यह है कि वंदे मातरम में शिर्क दिखाने वाले मुल्ला मौलवी अकबर की शराब, अफीम, ३६ बीवियों, और अपने लिए करवाए सजदों में भी इस्लाम को महफूज़ पाते हैं! किसी मौलवी ने आज तक यह फतवा नहीं दिया कि अकबर या बाबर जैसे शराबी और समलैंगिक मुसलमान नहीं हैं और इनके नाम की मस्जिद हराम है.<br />३२. अकबर ने खुद को दिव्य आदमी के रूप में पेश किया. उसने लोगों को आदेश दिए कि आपस में “अल्लाह ओ अकबर” कह कर अभिवादन किया जाए. भोले भाले मुसलमान सोचते हैं कि वे यह कह कर अल्लाह को बड़ा बता रहे हैं पर अकबर ने अल्लाह के साथ अपना नाम जोड़कर अपनी दिव्यता फैलानी चाही. अबुल फज़ल के अनुसार अकबर खुद को सर्वज्ञ (सब कुछ जानने वाला) की तरह पेश करता था. ऐसा ही इसके लड़के जहांगीर ने लिखा है.<br />३३. अकबर ने अपना नया पंथ दीन ए इलाही चलाया जिसका केवल एक मकसद खुद की बडाई करवाना था. उसके चाटुकारों ने इस धूर्तता को भी उसकी उदारता की तरह पेश किया!<br />३४. अकबर को इतना महान बताए जाने का एक कारण ईसाई इतिहासकारों का यह था कि क्योंकि इसने हिंदू धर्म और इस्लाम दोनों का ही जम कर अपमान किया और इस तरह भारत में अंग्रेजों के इसाईयत फैलाने के उद्देश्य में बड़ा कारण बना. विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने भी इस विषय पर अपनी राय दी है.<br />३५. अकबर भाषा बोलने में बड़ा चतुर था. विन्सेंट स्मिथ लिखता है कि मीठी भाषा के अलावा उसकी सबसे बड़ी खूबी अपने जीवन में दिखाई बर्बरता है!<br />३६. अकबर ने अपने को रूहानी ताकतों से भरपूर साबित करने के लिए कितने ही झूठ बोले. जैसे कि उसके पैरों की धुलाई करने से निकले गंदे पानी में अद्भुत ताकत है जो रोगों का इलाज कर सकता है. ये वैसे ही दावे हैं जैसे मुहम्मद साहब के बारे में हदीसों में किये गए हैं. अकबर के पैरों का पानी लेने के लिए लोगों की भीड़ लगवाई जाती थी. उसके दरबारियों को तो यह अकबर के नापाक पैर का चरणामृत पीना पड़ता था ताकि वह नाराज न हो जाए.<br />अकबर महान और जजिया कर<br />३७. इस्लामिक शरीयत के अनुसार किसी भी इस्लामी राज्य में रहने वाले गैर मुस्लिमों को अगर अपनी संपत्ति और स्त्रियों को छिनने से सुरक्षित रखना होता था तो उनको इसकी कीमत देनी पड़ती थी जिसे जजिया कहते थे. यानी इसे देकर फिर कोई अल्लाह व रसूल का गाजी आपकी संपत्ति, बेटी, बहन, पत्नी आदि को नहीं उठाएगा. कुछ अकबर प्रेमी कहते हैं कि अकबर ने जजिया खत्म कर दिया था. लेकिन इस बात का इतिहास में एक जगह भी उल्लेख नहीं! केवल इतना है कि यह जजिया रणथम्भौर के लिए माफ करने की शर्त राखी गयी थी जिसके बदले वहाँ के हिंदुओं को अपनी स्त्रियों को अकबर के हरम में भिजवाना था! यही कारण बना की इन मुस्लिम सुल्तानों के काल में हिन्दू स्त्रियाँ जौहर में जलना अधिक पसंद करती थी.<br />३८. यह एक सफ़ेद झूठ है कि उसने जजिया खत्म कर दिया. आखिरकार अकबर जैसा सच्चा मुसलमान जजिया जैसे कुरआन के आदेश को कैसे हटा सकता था? इतिहास में कोई प्रमाण नहीं की उसने अपने राज्य में कभी जजिया बंद करवाया हो.<br />अकबर महान और उसका सपूत<br />३९. भारत में महान इस्लामिक शासन की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता यह थी कि बादशाह के अपने बच्चे ही उसके खिलाफ बगावत कर बैठते थे! हुमायूं बाबर से दुखी था और जहांगीर अकबर से, शाहजहां जहांगीर से दुखी था तो औरंगजेब शाहजहाँ से. जहांगीर (सलीम) ने १६०२ में खुद को बादशाह घोषित कर दिया और अपना दरबार इलाहबाद में लगाया. कुछ इतिहासकार कहते हैं की जोधा अकबर की पत्नी थी या जहाँगीर की, इस पर विवाद है. संभवतः यही इनकी दुश्मनी का कारण बना, क्योंकि सल्तनत के तख़्त के लिए तो जहाँगीर के आलावा कोई और दावेदार था ही नहीं!<br />४०. ध्यान रहे कि इतिहासकारों के लाडले और सबसे उदारवादी राजा अकबर ने ही सबसे पहले “प्रयागराज” जैसे काफिर शब्द को बदल कर इलाहबाद कर दिया था.<br />४१. जहांगीर अपने अब्बूजान अकबर महान की मौत की ही दुआएं करने लगा. स्मिथ लिखता है कि अगर जहांगीर का विद्रोह कामयाब हो जाता तो वह अकबर को मार डालता. बाप को मारने की यह कोशिश यहाँ तो परवान न चढी लेकिन आगे जाकर आखिरकार यह सफलता औरंगजेब को मिली जिसने अपने अब्बू को कष्ट दे दे कर मारा. वैसे कई इतिहासकार यह कहते हैं कि अकबर को जहांगीर ने ही जहर देकर मारा.<br />अकबर महान और उसका शक्की दिमाग<br />४२. अकबर ने एक आदमी को केवल इसी काम पर रखा था कि वह उनको जहर दे सके जो लोग अकबर को पसंद नहीं!<br />४३. अकबर महान ने न केवल कम भरोसेमंद लोगों का कतल कराया बल्कि उनका भी कराया जो उसके भरोसे के आदमी थे जैसे- बैरम खान (अकबर का गुरु जिसे मारकर अकबर ने उसकी बीवी से निकाह कर लिया), जमन, असफ खान (इसका वित्त मंत्री), शाह मंसूर, मानसिंह, कामरान का बेटा, शेख अब्दुरनबी, मुइजुल मुल्क, हाजी इब्राहिम और बाकी सब मुल्ला जो इसे नापसंद थे. पूरी सूची स्मिथ की किताब में दी हुई है. और फिर जयमल जिसे मारने के बाद उसकी पत्नी को अपने हरम के लिए खींच लाया और लोगों से कहा कि उसने इसे सती होने से बचा लिया!<br />समाज सेवक अकबर महान<br />४४. अकबर के शासन में मरने वाले की संपत्ति बादशाह के नाम पर जब्त कर ली जाती थी और मृतक के घर वालों का उस पर कोई अधिकार नहीं होता था.<br />४५. अपनी माँ के मरने पर उसकी भी संपत्ति अपने कब्जे में ले ली जबकि उसकी माँ उसे सब परिवार में बांटना चाहती थी.<br />अकबर महान और उसके नवरत्न<br />४६. अकबर के चाटुकारों ने राजा विक्रमादित्य के दरबार की कहानियों के आधार पर उसके दरबार और नौ रत्नों की कहानी घड़ी है. असलियत यह है कि अकबर अपने सब दरबारियों को मूर्ख समझता था. उसने कहा था कि वह अल्लाह का शुक्रगुजार है कि इसको योग्य दरबारी नहीं मिले वरना लोग सोचते कि अकबर का राज उसके दरबारी चलाते हैं वह खुद नहीं.<br />४७. प्रसिद्ध नवरत्न टोडरमल अकबर की लूट का हिसाब करता था. इसका काम था जजिया न देने वालों की औरतों को हरम का रास्ता दिखाना.<br />४८. एक और नवरत्न अबुल फजल अकबर का अव्वल दर्जे का चाटुकार था. बाद में जहाँगीर ने इसे मार डाला.<br />४९. फैजी नामक रत्न असल में एक साधारण सा कवि था जिसकी कलम अपने शहंशाह को प्रसन्न करने के लिए ही चलती थी. कुछ इतिहासकार कहते हैं कि वह अपने समय का भारत का सबसे बड़ा कवि था. आश्चर्य इस बात का है कि यह सर्वश्रेष्ठ कवि एक अनपढ़ और जाहिल शहंशाह की प्रशंसा का पात्र था! यह ऐसी ही बात है जैसे कोई अरब का मनुष्य किसी संस्कृत के कवि के भाषा सौंदर्य का गुणगान करता हो!<br />५०. बुद्धिमान बीरबल शर्मनाक तरीके से एक लड़ाई में मारा गया. बीरबल अकबर के किस्से असल में मन बहलाव की बातें हैं जिनका वास्तविकता से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं. ध्यान रहे कि ऐसी कहानियाँ दक्षिण भारत में तेनालीराम के नाम से भी प्रचलित हैं.<br />५१. अगले रत्न शाह मंसूर दूसरे रत्न अबुल फजल के हाथों सबसे बड़े रत्न अकबर के आदेश पर मार डाले गए!<br />५२. मान सिंह जो देश में पैदा हुआ सबसे नीच गद्दार था, ने अपनी बहन जहांगीर को दी. और बाद में इसी जहांगीर ने मान सिंह की पोती को भी अपने हरम में खींच लिया. यही मानसिंह अकबर के आदेश पर जहर देकर मार डाला गया और इसके पिता भगवान दास ने आत्महत्या कर ली.<br />५३. इन नवरत्नों को अपनी बीवियां, लडकियां, बहनें तो अकबर की खिदमत में भेजनी पड़ती ही थीं ताकि बादशाह सलामत उनको भी सलामत रखें. और साथ ही अकबर महान के पैरों पर डाला गया पानी भी इनको पीना पड़ता था जैसा कि ऊपर बताया गया है.<br />५४. रत्न टोडरमल अकबर का वफादार था तो भी उसकी पूजा की मूर्तियां अकबर ने तुडवा दीं. इससे टोडरमल को दुःख हुआ और इसने इस्तीफ़ा दे दिया और वाराणसी चला गया.<br />अकबर और उसके गुलाम<br />५५. अकबर ने एक ईसाई पुजारी को एक रूसी गुलाम का पूरा परिवार भेंट में दिया. इससे पता चलता है कि अकबर गुलाम रखता था और उन्हें वस्तु की तरह भेंट में दिया और लिया करता था.<br />५६. कंधार में एक बार अकबर ने बहुत से लोगों को गुलाम बनाया क्योंकि उन्होंने १५८१-८२ में इसकी किसी नीति का विरोध किया था. बाद में इन गुलामों को मंडी में बेच कर घोड़े खरीदे गए.<br />५७. जब शाही दस्ते शहर से बाहर जाते थे तो अकबर के हरम की औरतें जानवरों की तरह सोने के पिंजरों में बंद कर दी जाती थीं.<br />५८. वैसे भी इस्लाम के नियमों के अनुसार युद्ध में पकडे गए लोग और उनके बीवी बच्चे गुलाम समझे जाते हैं जिनको अपनी हवस मिटाने के लिए भी प्रयोग किया जा सकता है. अल्लाह ने कुरान में यह व्यवस्था दे रखी है.<br />५९. अकबर बहुत नए तरीकों से गुलाम बनाता था. उसके आदमी किसी भी घोड़े के सिर पर एक फूल रख देते थे. फिर बादशाह की आज्ञा से उस घोड़े के मालिक के सामने दो विकल्प रखे जाते थे, या तो वह अपने घोड़े को भूल जाये, या अकबर की वित्तीय गुलामी क़ुबूल करे.<br />कुछ और तथ्य<br />६०. जब अकबर मरा था तो उसके पास दो करोड़ से ज्यादा अशर्फियाँ केवल आगरे के किले में थीं. इसी तरह के और खजाने छह और जगह पर भी थे. इसके बावजूद भी उसने १५९५-१५९९ की भयानक भुखमरी के समय एक सिक्का भी देश की सहायता में खर्च नहीं किया.<br />६१. अकबर ने प्रयागराज (जिसे बाद में इसी धर्म निरपेक्ष महात्मा ने इलाहबाद नाम दिया था) में गंगा के तटों पर रहने वाली सारी आबादी का क़त्ल करवा दिया और सब इमारतें गिरा दीं क्योंकि जब उसने इस शहर को जीता तो लोग उसके इस्तकबाल करने की जगह घरों में छिप गए. यही कारण है कि प्रयागराज के तटों पर कोई पुरानी इमारत नहीं है.<br />६२. एक बहुत बड़ा झूठ यह है कि फतेहपुर सीकरी अकबर ने बनवाया था. इसका कोई विश्वसनीय प्रमाण नहीं है. बाकी दरिंदे लुटेरों की तरह इसने भी पहले सीकरी पर आक्रमण किया और फिर प्रचारित कर दिया कि यह मेरा है. इसी तरह इसके पोते और इसी की तरह दरिंदे शाहजहाँ ने यह ढोल पिटवाया था कि ताज महल इसने बनवाया है वह भी अपनी चौथी पत्नी की याद में जो इसके और अपने सत्रहवें बच्चे को पैदा करने के समय चल बसी थी!<br />तो ये कुछ उदाहरण थे अकबर “महान” के जीवन से ताकि आपको पता चले कि हमारे नपुंसक इतिहासकारों की नजरों में महान बनना क्यों हर किसी के बस की बात नहीं. क्या इतिहासकार और क्या फिल्मकार और क्या कलाकार, सब एक से एक मक्कार, देशद्रोही, कुल कलंक, नपुंसक हैं जिन्हें फिल्म बनाते हुए अकबर तो दीखता है पर महाराणा प्रताप कहीं नहीं दीखता. अब देखिये कि अकबर पर बनी फिल्मों में इस शराबी, नशाखोर, बलात्कारी, और लाखों हिंदुओं के हत्यारे अकबर के बारे में क्या दिखाया गया है और क्या छुपाया. बैरम खान की पत्नी, जो इसकी माता के सामान थी, से इसकी शादी का जिक्र किसी ने नहीं किया. इस जानवर को इस तरह पेश किया गया है कि जैसे फरिश्ता! जोधाबाई से इसकी शादी की कहानी दिखा दी पर यह नहीं बताया कि जोधा असल में जहांगीर की पत्नी थी और शायद दोनों उसका उपभोग कर रहे थे. दिखाया यह गया कि इसने हिंदू लड़की से शादी करके उसका धर्म नहीं बदला, यहाँ तक कि उसके लिए उसके महल में मंदिर बनवाया! असलियत यह है कि बरसों पुराने वफादार टोडरमल की पूजा की मूर्ति भी जिस अकबर से सहन न हो सकी और उसे झट तोड़ दिया, ऐसे अकबर ने लाचार लड़की के लिए मंदिर बनवाया, यह दिखाना धूर्तता की पराकाष्ठा है. पूरी की पूरी कहानियाँ जैसे मुगलों ने हिन्दुस्तान को अपना घर समझा और इसे प्यार दिया, हेमू का सिर काटने से अकबर का इनकार, देश की शान्ति और सलामती के लिए जोधा से शादी, उसका धर्म परिवर्तन न करना, हिंदू रीति से शादी में आग के चारों तरफ फेरे लेना, राज महल में जोधा का कृष्ण मंदिर और अकबर का उसके साथ पूजा में खड़े होकर तिलक लगवाना, अकबर को हिंदुओं को जबरन इस्लाम क़ुबूल करवाने का विरोधी बताना, हिंदुओं पर से कर हटाना, उसके राज्य में हिंदुओं को भी उसका प्रशंसक बताना, आदि ऐसी हैं जो असलियत से कोसों दूर हैं जैसा कि अब आपको पता चल गयी होंगी. “हिन्दुस्तान मेरी जान तू जान ए हिन्दोस्तां” जैसे गाने अकबर जैसे बलात्कारी, और हत्यारे के लिए लिखने वालों और उन्हें दिखाने वालों को उसी के सामान झूठा और दरिंदा समझा जाना चाहिए.<br />चित्तौड़ में तीस हजार लोगों का कत्लेआम करने वाला, हिंदू स्त्रियों को एक के बाद एक अपनी पत्नी या रखैल बनने पर विवश करने वाला, नगरों और गाँवों में जाकर नरसंहार कराकर लोगों के कटे सिरों से मीनार बनाने वाला, जिस देश के इतिहास में महान, सम्राट, “शान ए हिन्दोस्तां” लिखा जाए और उसे देश का निर्माता कहा जाए कि भारत को एक छत्र के नीचे उसने खड़ा कर दिया, उस देश का विनाश ही होना चाहिए. वहीं दूसरी तरफ जो ऐसे दरिंदे, नपुंसक के विरुद्ध धर्म और देश की रक्षा करता हुआ अपने से कई गुना अधिक सेनाओं से लड़ा, जंगल जंगल मारा मारा फिरता रहा, अपना राज्य छोड़ा, सब साथियों को छोड़ा, पत्तल पर घास की रोटी खाकर भी जिसने वैदिक धर्म की अग्नि को तुर्की आंधी से कभी बुझने नहीं दिया, वह महाराणा प्रताप इन इतिहासकारों और फिल्मकारों की दृष्टि में “जान ए हिन्दुस्तान” तो दूर “जान ए राजस्थान” भी नहीं था! उसे सदा अपने राज्य मेवाड़ की सत्ता के लिए लड़ने वाला एक लड़ाका ही बताया गया जिसके लिए इतिहास की किताबों में चार पंक्तियाँ ही पर्याप्त हैं. ऐसी मानसिकता और विचारधारा, जिसने हमें अपने असली गौरवशाली इतिहास को आज तक नहीं पढ़ने दिया, हमारे कातिलों और लुटेरों को महापुरुष बताया और शिवाजी और राणा प्रताप जैसे धर्म रक्षकों को लुटेरा और स्वार्थी बताया, को आज अपने पैरों तले रौंदना है. संकल्प कीजिये कि अब आपके घर में अकबर की जगह राणा प्रताप की चर्चा होगी. क्योंकि इतना सब पता होने पर यदि अब भी कोई अकबर के गीत गाना चाहता है तो उस देशद्रोही और धर्मद्रोही को कम से कम इस देश में रहने का अधिकार नहीं होना चाहिए.<br />अब तो न अकबर न बाबर से वहशी<br />दरिन्दे कभी पुज न पायें धरा पर<br />जो नाम इनका ले कोई अपनी जबाँ से<br />बता देना राणा की तलवार का बल<br />इस धूर्त दरिन्दे के पर्दाफाश के बाद, भारत के सच्चे सपूत को अग्निवीर का शत शत नमन :<br />कोई पूछे कितना था राणा का भाला<br />तो कहना कि अकबर के जितना था भाला<br />जो पूछे कोई कैसे उठता था भाला<br />बता देना हाथों में ज्यों नाचे माला<br />चलाता था राणा जब रण में ये भाला<br />उठा देता पांवों को मुग़लों के भाला<br />जो पूछे कभी क्यों न अकबर लड़ा तो<br />बता देना कारण था राणा का भाला.<br /><br /><br /><br />उपरलिखित तथ्यों का

How long has been the so-called “Hindu Terror ”existed in India? On the other hand, how long has been the tyranny of Islam and Jihad activities been in existence not only in India but also Worldwide?<br />2. Did Hindus ever-hijack Aircrafts or blown up important building like Embassies worldwide?<br />3. How may hostages have Hindus Killed worldwide?<br />4. Can you really compare Jihad with Hindu Terror at all?<br />5. How long Hindus have been terrorized in their own country? * Be honest in your expression of events?<br />6. Did 9/11, 7/7, (US AND UK) and 17/08/04, 05/07/05, 25/10/05, 28/12/05 26/11/08, 27/09/08, 13/09/08, and many more attacks in India including the Indian Parliament attack on 13/12/2001 be compared?<br />7. Were those attacks by HINDU TERRORISTS?<br />8. There is ample evidence that Hindus have been Terrorized in India by the Jihadi organizations from the neighboring Islamic Nations.<br />9. One scooter disaster by Hindus has been blamed as Hindu Terror. How many Non- Hindus have been killed so far by so-called “Hindu Terrorists” until today?<br />10. The figure of Hindu victims of Jihadi terror attacks in India is there, if you need it for the record. I hope media takes the reality issues about the terror attack at least in India.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Bhatiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18146588172101205096noreply@blogger.com0
