Actually, what I wrote above is not original. I was reading Hendrik Hertzberg’s column in the New Yorker about sexual abuse and the Catholic church, and it seemed to me as if the vile Catholic church and the Congress party were twins separated at birth. Here’s the original quote from that article.
The Catholic Church is an authoritarian institution, modelled on the political structures of the Roman Empire and medieval Europe. It is better at transmitting instructions downward than at facilitating accountability upward. It is monolithic. It claims the unique legitimacy of a line of succession going back to the apostolic circle of Jesus Christ. Its leaders are protected by a nimbus of mystery, pomp, holiness, and, in the case of the Pope, infallibility—to be sure, only in certain doctrinal matters, not administrative ones, but the aura is not so selective. The hierarchy of such an institution naturally resists admitting to moral turpitude and sees squalid scandal as a mortal threat. Equally important, the government of the Church is entirely male.
I would have categorized this post as “Humor and Silliness” except it is rather tragic that the Congress party continues to destroy India’s future just like the priests destroyed the lives of the choirboys whom they raped. Unfortunately, the main stream media is silent and indeed complicit in the rape of the country by the Congress. But soon enough there will be hell to pay.
One knows that the pope is the leader of one of the most powerful evil organizations of the world — even if one is not a Dan Brown fan. It’s all connected: the pope, the Catholic church, mafia, Catholicism, Italian, fascism, authoritarianism, the Congress party, its leadership.

This is my first comment and I wanted to ask you if you really think that the Catholic Church, the Congress Party, the Mafia and Italians etc etc are all connected??

This makes me really angry:
Supreme Court declines to interfere with book ban order
SC upholds ban on book against Islam
“upholding the ban imposed by the Maharashtra government on a book on Muslims authored by an advocate, claiming that the book brought lesser-known aspects of Islam before the public eye. ”
Yeah, and that was the basis for banning?
“The book perpetrates hatred against Muslims, promotes enmity between classes, likelihood of violence, breach of harmony, peace and tranquillity.”
Well, but one can say the same about Islam – just replace as follows:
“Islam perpetrates hatred against non-Islamists, promotes enmity between classes, likelihood of violence, breach of harmony, peace and tranquility.”
Will the courts now ban Islam on that irrefutable basis and the precedent set by this case please?
Will the courts ban the literature taught in madrassas which are just as likely to perpetrate hatred and also suffer from inaccuracy while it is not clear that this book was inaccurate.
Essentially the court is saying we don’t have a law and order system that can manage anti-social elements nor do we have a tolerant society (yes, we expect Muslims to be tolerant just as well as Hindus – you can complain about Bal Thackeray being an idiot, no problem) so freedom of speech (probably the most essential basis of free society) goes out the window.

One more clarification. I’m not making the above point with a bias against Islam (I want to focus on the court’s logic only).
When I say the following, this can be said about many different groups/religions in India and elsewhere:
Well, but one can say the same about Islam – just replace as follows:
“Islam perpetrates hatred against non-Islamists, promotes enmity between classes, likelihood of violence, breach of harmony, peace and tranquility.”
My point is that the logic is twisted – because something is potentially inflammatory that should not be the basis for banning. If a country does not have a sound legal system and a sound law and order system to implement the laws that is about as bad as it can get before complete chaos.

Hindu Press International:The Internet Hindus

INDIA, April 4, 2010, (an opinion piece by Shachi Rarikar): For decades the Indian media in English, both inprint and electronic, has been dominated by an elite who by virtue of their education, articulate speech and degrees, scholarships and awards from abroad face little or no competition at home. A handful of such people occupy most of the media space. All news and views are doctored to fit their ideological parameters.
To the common, average, educated Indian, especially the majority Hindus, this is a frustrating situation. He and his religion has become the object of ridicule and despise in the mass media.
For the Indian Hindu, there is not way to fight this malicious campaign. Neither are his letters to editors published, nor can his articles match the linguistic skills of the foreign-educated. Even his messages are not displayed during the TV programmes. His responses on a channel’s website are also never published.
Thus, the internet comes with fresh breath of air, providing a breathing space to the common man. With the advent of blogging, web groups, chat forums, free websites and social networking sites he gets an opportunity to express himself, gives vent to his thoughts which had been deliberately suppressed all these years. As more and more Indians become internet savvy, the web space is being filled with a new generation of Hindu activist

All of them rule with an autocratic style and brook no dissent on important matters.
The Congress, is a little more stable as the top level is fixed. That leaves the second level leaders to have more diverse opinions, than in the case of the BJP, where the top level is fluid and if any of the second level leaders reaches the top, he/she will carry out a purge.

Hello Surya
Rahul was supposedly baptised at the age of five in Rome. However I can’t give you the exact link of where I read this since it was a couple of years back.
But yes if you look at the religions of the partners that the Gandhi siblings have chosen for themselves then you might get a fair idea about the religious leanings.
Priyanaka got married to Robert Vadra, a Sindhi convert to Christianity and Rahul’s last know partner was a Veneluelan Catholic lady.
As to why both siblings would choose Christians as their partners and that too belonging to the same sect as their mother is something that does give us indications towards their religious inclinations.
Just like most politicians ,who are converts to Christianity, who don’t make their religious affiliations public I doubt that Rahul would be open about his affiliations.

What are you taling about. You can’t be autocratic and socialist at the same time. Autocracy and socialism are mutually exclusive ideologies.
As for your claim about Indian CM,s not being religiously motivated, you can check uot on what YSR did in Andhra and how his son in law sucessfully converted villages after villages by using Govt. machinery.

You are sure but not certain, nor can you provide any evidence for the same.
rest assured no appologies were made and even if an apology was made it was never mentioned any where in the media. Hindus don’t matter since they don’t organise themselves and go around shouting on the streets “bloody murder” when any of their gurus are acussed, falsely or rightly.
The reason is Pakistan.
What is the ideology behind the which the Pakistani terrorists are operating. Its Islam.
Do you think that Pakistan would have been sponsoring terrorism if it had been a Buddhist or a Hindu country?
I belive no, it would not. Islam makes it quite clear through its texts that it wishes to be the only dominant religion in this world and Pakistan is merely forwarding the agenda set by Mohomet about 1400 years back.
Plus Pakistan is not the only country that is involved in exporting Islamic terrorism. You have cases of Islamic terrorism all around the world. That includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Europe, Russia, you name the country and you will have islamic terrorism over there. I think it would be foolhardy to assume that Pakistan is involved in exporting terror all around the world.

Yet Again, Dr. Mahathir Stirs The Muslim Sentiment
By Mohammad Asghar
Dr. Mahathir, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, was on a visit to Bangladesh recently. He was heading a delegation of 50 businessmen of his country. He created a stir in the minds of the Muslims by asking them not only to take lessons from his long rule over his country, but also to stop trading with the United States in Dollars “as it only strengthens the capabilities of the United States to develop and supply arms to Israel that ‘they then use to kill Muslims.’”
Bent upon seeing the United States completely crippled, he told his audience in Dhaka: “I’ve asked Arabs to sell oil in other currencies. If we don’t use US dollars, the currency will become useless.” Explaining why he wants Muslims not to trade with America in dollars, Dr. Mahathir, the rising Savior of the Muslim Umma, reasoned: “If the oil and other raw materials possessed by Muslim countries are sold in currencies other than dollars, the dollar would devalue. “If the US is poor it cannot dominate the world.”

Mohajirs are not the only Muslims who have problems in Pakistan. The Balochis, Seriakhis, Sindhis who are also Muslims also face similar problems in Pakistan.However this is nothing compared to what Hindus and Sikhs have to tolerate in Pakistan. These Hindus and Sikhs living in Pakistan and not indegenous, so how do you explain their being socially crippled./ A non-Muslim in Pakistan can’t be the part of the legislative or the Judiciary. Hindus are not allowed to work in the police of the Army. Just because you don’t wish to accept the truth that Muslims hate Hindus, you will go to lengths to deny the facts.
Now there Muslims, belonging to minority communities, in other Muslim countries who are given a raw deal. For example the Druze in Lebanon and Syria, Kurds in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Turkey, the marsh Arabs in Iraq, the list is a very long one and you can research the list of atrocities perpetrated on these Muslim minorities in these countries.
Secondly the muhajirs or immigrants from India are not really a disadvantaged class. They are accepted as Muslims and the strife between them and others is a result of social tensions and not religious differences.
Finally, are you familiar with the term collateral damage? That is exactly what happens every time an Islamic group strikes in India. Muslims are not the targets, Hindus are. That’s why you don’t see any terrorist strikes in Muslim dominated areas by LET, Hizb Ul Mujahideen etc. Plus the Pakistanis are cannot carry out all these attacks without local intelligence which obviously comes from…. wait let me allow you take a shot a this.
That you supplied evidence is good. Now maybe somebody more knowledgeable than me on the subject can evaluate it and tell us the results.
Well if you required someone more knowledgeable than you to read those articles and then make an informed decision, maybe you should not have asked for proof in the first place. Since you don’t have the ability to see evidence and make an informed decision in first place what is the point in asking for proof.
The original comment was that the Hindi point of view is not expressed by the media. I just pointed out that there are media channels that provide this point of view.
what is the Hindi point of view? Were you trying to say the Hindu point of view. I that case I stand to disagree. The job of the media is to provide unbiased news and not be megaphones for blocks and religious bodies.
Actually, I have not made any judgment on the subject. I just replied for completeness, as the original post contained 5 disjointed subjects.
