Hindu Janajagruti Samiti

The Indian Home Minister said that Pakistan was responsible for creating disturbance at various places like Mumbai, Lucknow and Kashmir by way of riots under the pretext of riots caused by Bangla Deshi infiltrators in Assam; spreading false propaganda and sending sms causing unrest in the country. Proofs of the same are being handed over to Pakistan. After the riots, unrest is being caused by sending threatening sms to Assamese, beating them up etc. due to which they have started returning to their homeland. Now, instead of taking strict remedial measures, imposing ban on fanatic Muslim organizations which sent such sms, maulanas who incited people with their provoking speeches and their websites, the anti-Hindu Congress Government at the Centre, taking revenge, has suddenly imposed ban on the website of patriotic organization like Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) engaged in imparting ‘Dharma-shikshan’ and awakening patriotism amongst Hindus.

Ban has been imposed on the website of HJS viz. hindujagruti.org without giving prior notice. In a press conference held here, Mr. Ramesh Shinde, the national spokesperson of HJS strongly condemned such ‘Tughalaqi’ conspiracy of ‘punishing an innocent and letting lose the culprit’ of the Congress.

Demand to impose ban on Raza Academy is being made at all levels; but Congress kept mum on the subject and delayed taking action against the culprits to help them to run away; but by imposing ban on the website of Hindus, Congress has exhibited its hatred towards Hindus. It is not only an attack on Hindus but also encroachment on the freedom conferred by the Indian Constitution on expression of thoughts and to follow any religion. The dictatorial governance of Congress, in which only Hindus abide by oppressive  laws and Muslims get all benefits, makes any patriotic citizen think whether he is living in Hindustan or in Pakistan. The Government does not impart education to Hindus on their Dharma; therefore, on HJS website, scientific information on different festivals, religious festivals, rites and rituals etc. is given. Similarly, various drives are undertaken by HJS for prevention of abuse of National Flag, prevention of distortion of map, prevention of denigration of Deities, our great national heroes and Saints, explaining glorious history of India etc. for benefit of society, nation and Dharma giving information on its website.

More than 1, 80,000 people from about 170 countries all over the world visit this website. People from other countries are also getting drawn towards Hindu culture and Dharma and living happily leading self-restrained life.

On the website of HJS and its ‘Facebook’ page, true information about Assam and Mumbai riots was published based on news published in different newspapers. Proofs were presented on the website so as to assist Police and Government on how rioting Muslims were indulging in false propaganda and creating unrest in the country; even then, it is possible that the Congress Government could have imposed ban on the website for the politics of votes. It is clear that the website of HJS has been closed for criticizing corruption and double standards used by the Govt. under the name of secularism; but the corrupt Congress Govt. should remember that the ban imposed on HJS website is not a blot on its name; rather it is creditable for HJS for undertaking patriotic activities which force the corrupt Government to take cognizance. Registering protest against this ban, HJS is planning to stage agitations.

This article was submitted by the HJS team and posted on The Chakra due to their website being banned by the Congress Party in India.

“One must beware of ministers who can do nothing without money, and those who want to do everything with money. “ - Indira Gandhi

Any and all faults of understanding the topic at hand are the shortcomings of the author. A healthy debate is always encouraged and all criticism (both constructive and destructive) is welcomed.

Introduction – As a follow up to one of my previous articles, Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill, 2011, I’ve decided to focus my grievances with the unscrupulous subversion of India’s population as perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi clan and its minions. I am quite upset by watching India celebrate the failures of the Nehru-Gandhi clan and its continued erosion of the country’s social, religious, political and economic fabric. You know, we usually hear people say things like: “you don’t give this woman or this man enough credit for all the good things he/she has done”. My task in this modest essay is to shed light on what we don’t hear people say enough: “you don’t give this woman or this man enough credit for all the bad things he/she has done”. So be forewarned, I’ll be quite negative in the following paragraphs. If you are a diehard fan of the Nehru-Gandhi family (the clan), then be prepared to get the wakeup call of your life. I will briefly highlight the failures of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and that imbecilic brat unofficially known as Rahul Gandhi. Following the failures of the Nehru-Gandhi clan will be a brief list of present day malaises of India which can be attributed to the clan. I shall conclude with a juxtaposition of Mahatma Gandhi’s insights with the failures to live by those insights by the Congress Party figures and their corporate allies as one final jolt of reality.

Chacha Nehru my foot! Chacha Blunder is more befitting

I get really upset with some arrogant and stubborn historians who attempt to shove the belief that there is no “if” clause in history down my throat. This, to me, is the highest form of subversion! All disciplines should be analysed and reassessed based on the tweaking (up or down) or insertion/omission of certain variables (characters/events – for historical studies) in a model which explains a certain phenomena or occurrence. With your kind permission (dear readers), I shall use the “if” clause to better explain my grievances with the Nehru-Gandhi clan. So let us begin with Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (affectionately known as Chacha Nehru). My own take on the fellow is that he was a power hungry cry baby. Nehru exhibited questionable morality – as his affairs with Lady Mountbatten and others are well documented. He was more at ease with experimenting with unproven foreign policy alternatives such as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) which went on to weaken Sino-Indian, Indo-American, Indo-Pak relations while it strengthened Indo-Soviet relations.

And now, let us insert my ‘if’ clause and look at Nehru’s tenure as Prime Minister (PM) of India. If Nehru was not such a cry baby, then he would have conceded his defeat to Sardar Patel in the Congress leadership vote. If Sardar Patel was the PM of India, then we could bet with a high degree of confidence that the map of India would be quite different (I’m alluding to Kashmir and other territorial disputes). If Patel was PM, then India would not be governed by the idiotic and experimental foreign policy dictates of Nehru’s “Pancha Sheel – Five Pillars” framework within the Non-Aligned Movement. Nehru’s idiocy is perfectly exemplified by his turning down of the American offer of a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council in 1955. Instead, our beloved Chacha Nehru chose to be the ‘chamcha’ of our shrewd and realistic neighbours, the Chinese. Nehru vouched for China to have a permanent seat on the council. Nehru’s arrogance in avoiding border discussions and over-confidence in his experimental ‘chamchagiri’ caused India to pay a heavy price on the battlefield in 1962. Nehru never recovered from this blunder and neither did India’s foreign policy. In addition, we should not forget that Nehru (at the insistence of Lord Mountbatten) even put the offer of a plebiscite on the table at the UN in order to resolve the Kashmir dispute. This stupid move is still costing India a high price! Thank you, Chacha Nehru! Next, we analyse Nehru’s daughter.

“Garibi Hatao” – Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi

Indira Gandhi

Where to start with Indira Gandhi? We give lots of credit to Mrs Gandhi for having chopped Pakistan in two pieces. She gave the green light for “Smiling Buddha” to make India a nuclear state. And she brought over to India the Green Revolution (a new age of agricultural best practices and research) which was to alleviate India’s food shortages.  That is where the positive vibes end. Mrs Gandhi was elected as PM for three consecutive terms from 1966-1977 (the third of which was rendered invalid by the courts) and came back to power from 1980-1984 until her assassination by a bodyguard.

Indira Gandhi holds two distinctions: 1) She was the only Indian Prime Minister to have declared a state of emergency so that she could ‘rule by decree’ and 2) She was the only Indian Prime Minister to have been incarcerated after holding the office (Mrs Gandhi committed election fraud in 1971 during her ‘Garibi Hatao’ campaign and was found guilty in 1975). The only ‘Garibi’ that Mrs Gandhi was concerned with was her own. Mrs Gandhi’s ‘rule by decree’ during the state of emergency was simply for two reasons: 1) to eliminate dissidents, and 2) to maintain her stranglehold on the country.

Mrs Gandhi’s son, Sanjay, was instrumental in implementing draconian measures in order to eliminate Congress and anti-Indira dissidents as well as to ravage slum dwellers and poor people during the state of emergency. The infamous ‘family planning’ campaign spearheaded by Sanjay is still fresh in the minds of many Indians. Sanjay’s mass vasectomy campaigns were not conducted under proper sanitary conditions and one can only imagine the pain of infection and death that some of the lured patients felt.  Also, to win the blessings of the Gandhis, many public officers and doctors performed more-than-necessary amounts of vasectomies in order to meet the quota prescribed by Sanjay. Mrs Gandhi failed the Indian people by ruling like a tyrant. She took away the rights and freedoms of Indians while projecting a persona of “Mother” of the nation. For what did she do this? For power!

Indira Gandhi’s failures also hit the Punjab. She let Bhindranwale and his followers get to the point where they could assassinate anyone that they deemed heretics (Nirankaris etc.) as they pleased. At the same time, Bhindranwale’s friends received training from the ISI and they all jointly devised a plan to create Khalistan by taking over the Golden Temple. Indira Gandhi was left with no choice but to show Bhindranwale who was boss. Operation Bluestar and the subsequent actions of India’s supercop, KPS Gill, virtually eradicated the Khalistan movement from India. However, there were some very negative consequences. Sikhs were alienated and violated as their holiest shrine was ravaged. We also had the anti-Sikh riots of 1984. As well, I would like to share that this conflict also took the lives of over 329 passengers of Air India flight 182 in 1985. The passengers of that flight were brutally killed by a time bomb placed in the aircraft planted by Canada-based Khalistanis. 291 innocent Indo-Canadians lost their lives due to Indira Gandhi and the Khalistanis!

As a final criticism, many foreign policy experts suggest that Mrs Gandhi did not push hard enough on Zulfikar Ali Bhutto to make the LoC a permanent border between India and Pakistan (with respect to Kashmir). But that is a dwarfed issue as her victory in carving Pakistan in to two pieces overshadowed this criticism.

Indira Gandhi’s legacy is nothing short of tyranny. However, her assassination gained her sympathy and it seems that many people have forgotten all of the bad that she had committed. We now move on to her elder son, Rajiv.

Rajiv Gandhi

Rajiv Gandhi

Rajiv Gandhi was a mixed bag. He came in to politics after the assassination of his mother. She had initially planned to push Sanjay (her younger son) in to the top seat of Prime Minister, but he died in an airplane accident. However, Sanjay did rule the country under his mother’s name. Oh, and what a horrific job he did. Rajiv Gandhi came in to politics by accident but left his mark on India’s history. He started off by promising to modernize India, to press for global nuclear disarmament, to decentralise power, to clean up the Holy Ganges and many other promises. However, he was only partially successful in keeping some of his promises. Rajiv Gandhi helped to pave the way for India’s modern economy and peace with China, but that is where the glory stops. He was voted out of office due to his role in the Bofors scandal.

Rajiv Gandhi’s glories of institutionalising peace with China and modernizing India’s economy were overshadowed by his failures. I’ll list some of TK Arun’s thoughts on Rajiv Gandhi’s failures verbatim:

• “The foremost failure is the contempt he showed for the Indian people….The strategy of serially appeasing first Muslim fundamentalists and then Hindu fundamentalists reflected cynical contempt for the people and their intelligence.”
• “A related failure was his tendency to see people as objects of development, rather than as its subjects, the driving force. This led Rajiv Gandhi to trust technology missions to deliver clearly defined development goals.”

Rajiv never got the opportunity to rectify his mistakes and was brutally assassinated by LTTE terrorists in a suicide bomb blast. Rajiv Gandhi had just started to show some political wisdom while in the opposition but never got the chance to prove himself. I suppose the torch needed to be passed on and his time on earth had come to an end.

Sonia and Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi (real name - Antonia Edvige Albina Maino Gandhi)

Take a moment to bow your heads in reverence to Dr Subramanian Swamy. If it wasn’t for his swift actions, then Sonia Gandhi would be the Prime Minister of India (instead of Manmohan Singh). This one man has singlehandedly taken down political powerhouses. Many of the corruption scandals that we hear of and which were perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi clan were exposed and brought to the Supreme Court by Dr Swamy’s petitions. I don’t have anything positive to say for Sonia Gandhi and her silly son, Rahul. They both have slapped the small positive legacy of Rajiv Gandhi in the face with the record-breaking levels of corruption and sheer incompetence. Sonia doesn’t speak English or Hindi well. She can only do one thing well, and that is corruption. It must have been something she learned from the infamous Mafia of Italy, her motherland. Sonia is going to be brought to justice eventually. Her role in the numerous scams of the day is being exposed. Her son-in-law, Robert Vadra, became a billionaire out of thin air due to the connections that she had. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

One should understand very carefully that Sonia runs and operates India and her Congress party much the same way as a Grand Patriarch in a Mafia of Italy would do. Sonia is the Grand Matriarch of the Congress party and not a single decision is made without her stamp of approval and cut in the share of profits. Politicians and business people know damn well that they must pay respects and hefty tributes to the Grand Matriarch, Sonia in order to rape and pillage the country. I’ll share an example of how desperate some lowly politicians are to get in to Sonia’s inner circle. A few years back, Amar Singh and Mani Shankar Aiyar were attending a function in Delhi. Both gentlemen enjoyed their drinks but Aiyar had one too many. In a drunken stupor, he provoked Singh in to a mini-brawl. What was the reason? Aiyar was jealous that Singh and his leader (at the time) Mulayam Singh was gaining much clout with Sonia while Aiyar was struggling to get a berth in the Congress Working Committee. Enough about Sonia let us briefly discuss the brat, Rahul.

Sonia’s dear son Rahul does speak Hindi but he is a walking buffoon who has shown absolutely no political maturity. Rahul’s idea of being a man of the people is to roll up his sleeves and sit down at a villager’s home (near his constituency of Amethi) and eat puri-sabzi while NDTV and CNN-IBN report his every move as “Breaking News”. His staged humility is a sham!

Both Sonia and Rahul have dubious education records. However, Rahul takes the prize for the worst Gandhi as he is also an alleged rapist. If India elects Rahul Gandhi as its next PM, then nothing can save the country from pure and utter disaster. Also, what message will India be sending to the world if it elects an uneducated and alleged rapist to the posting of PM?

To sum up, the culture of failing the Indian people has been well preserved by Sonia Gandhi and her son, Rahul. One doesn’t even feel like wasting one’s time by discussing the endless list of failures that are attributed to these people. Let us now focus on the social, economic and political malaises that India suffers due to the aggregated efforts of the Nehru-Gandhi clan.

Thank you, Congress! You created the vote bank Beast!

Reservations

It is without doubt that reservation has helped the scheduled castes and tribes (SCST) ameliorate their social status – albeit at a snail’s pace. But there are some real positives that we should focus on: India has had an SCST President, Chief Justice, and female Chief Minister in Uttar Pradesh (the most populous state). So to an extent, India’s affirmative action project has been working. However, the sticky point is where there are other groups which desire reservations including: Brahmins (the poor ones), poor Hindus of other castes, Muslims, and Christians. These groups have also had the desire to derive some utility from the reservation system so that they could also land public jobs and send their children to IIMs and IITs to be competitive in the Indian market. However, countless governments on both ends of the political spectrum have been able to accomplish nothing for these unfortunate groups. There has been campaign promise rhetoric here and there by tyrants like Mayawati, but that holds no value unless some changes are made.

What the Hajj?

‘The Law of Double Standards’ is my term for the Congress Party’s special treatment given to our fellow Indian sisters and brothers of the Islamic faith. By special treatment, I mean that our Muslim sisters and brothers have huge, government sponsored subsidies which support and encourage them to go on their Hajj pilgrimages (to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina). Conversely, there are no such luxuries for Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jews, and Hindus of India. India bends over backwards to protect only one group’s religious identity. I am sure that all jurists who are truly secular would not let any such luxury be enjoyed by any religious community. Also, these same jurists should also believe that there is no room for Sharia law in India’s legal system. All Indians should have to go through the same processes in order to file for divorce etc. I hold all political parties which have ever governed India responsible for this. It does not matter if we are talking of Congress or the BJP. The entire political spectrum is guilty of this double standard.

Biased Indian Media

Media Bias

If there is the Congress Party in the political realm, then its propaganda wing consists of most of the media outlets in the country. All leading news agencies are guilty of pro-Congress rhetoric. I will lash out on one specific individual who stands out the most. I must admit my endless disdain for the likes of Barkha Dutt and her Congress-biased colleagues in print and TV media. Barkha Dutt’s crocodile tears at the suffering of Hindu groups are not only wretched but quite comical. Ms Dutt will openly cry genuine tears of sorrow for the pain and suffering of our Muslim sisters and brothers in India and across India’s borders. Ms Dutt is also more pro-Kashmiri independence than the Hurriyat, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Sajjad Lone, Sheikh+Farooq+Omar Abdullah, and Syed Geelani combined! If I was Ms. Dutt’s career advisor, then I’d advise her to join hands with fellow sell-out Arundhati Roy to completely liquidate India’s borders!

The Scams

I won’t even elaborate on the exact details of the following scams. The list is actually much larger, but please have a quick peek at the table to get an idea of some of the high profile scams perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi clan and its minions.

• Jeep 1947
• ISRO spectrum Scam, Coal Scam and 3G scam
• Bofors
• Adarsh
• CWG
• IPL
• 2G
• Various Land Scams
• Rajiv Gandhi Trust

Disaster

India’s economy is growing at a fast rate and the demographics of the country are promising. However, corruption, lousy infrastructure, and poor governance are all great reasons for concern! Failure to plug these holes may pose the risk of devastating the country. You can thank the Nehru-Gandhi Clan + Congress for the majority of this mess. However, there is a way out.

Solutions

The first step to improving from the status quo is awareness. I’m not so sure if all Indians are aware of what is truly going on in the country. Media subversion (funded by Congress and its industrialist friends) has played a very negative role in misinforming the public. Alternative media must be further nurtured by the civil society to fight this subversion! It is fast, cheap, democratic, and self-policing. It will be the game changer!

Solutions to India’s problems will only be formulated and executed when the entire population of India knows about the current state of affairs and feels that enough is enough. A collective effort is needed to bring about positive and sustainable change in the Motherland. I would like to offer some food for thought and action:

Mahatma Gandhi gave his grandson, Arun Gandhi, a list of the Seven Blunders of the World that lead to violence. Arun Gandhi added his own idea to the list. Steven W. Gilbert has added four more blunders to the list which focus on teaching, learning, and technology. I’ve added some names beside each blunder (in the Indian context). You be the judge and decide whether my opinions carry any merit or not.

1. Wealth without work [Mahatma Gandhi]  –> Robert Vadra became a billionaire due to Sonia Gandhi’s connections (there are more cases but let us stick to one for now).
2. Pleasure without conscience [Mahatma Gandhi] –> Jawaharlal Nehru (womanizer), Rahul Gandhi (alleged rapist).
3. Knowledge without character [Mahatma Gandhi] –> Manmohan Singh (what use is your education when you have no spine to make decisions?).
4. Commerce without morality [Mahatma Gandhi] –> 2G and CWG Scandals (in recent times). Let us not forget Natwar Singh’s payoffs in the Iraq oil-for-food program!
5. Science without humanity [Mahatma Gandhi] –> Montek Singh Ahluwalia who is lobbying for Monsanto and European/American Pharmaceutical firms to destroy India’s food supply and affordable access to medication!
6. Worship without sacrifice [Mahatma Gandhi] –> All the vote bank seeking politicians who simply pay lip service to communities but are not true to their word.
7. Politics without principle [Mahatma Gandhi] –> P.Chidambaram, Kapil Sibal, Amar Singh, Salman Khurshid, Digvijay Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi (let’s stick to contemporary politicians only – or else the list will never end).
8. Rights without responsibilities [Arun Gandhi] –> The Apathetic voters who don’t stand up to corruption and tyranny but who complain that their lives are destroyed.
9. Technology without direction [Steven W. Gilbert] –> Nandan Nilekani’s UIDAI government venture has ballooned from Rs 3,023 crore to Rs 17,863 as Nilekani wants to increase his biometric capture mandate. Hmmm, this sounds like a typical consulting engagement which was agreed at one rate and then finalized at a rate which is grossly over budget. It builds dependence of the client on to the consultancy. Typical business model!
10. Connection without community [Steven W. Gilbert] –> Political or business leaders may have Social Media followers or may meet the common man or woman at a face-to-face public event, but that does not translate into true community building. Need I offer examples? I think not.
11. Teaching without joy [Steven W. Gilbert] –> Education is no longer a noble profession in India and elsewhere. It is simply a business! Not to discount the noble educators in the country.
12. Learning without hope [Steven W. Gilbert] –> All of those young students who are working so hard but feel that they have no future due to reservations, corruption, slow job creation, nepotism, and a lack of meritocracy in India!

With that, I sign off wishing you all peace, health, righteousness, self-awareness, and endless resolve to clean up the homeland and the world!

Your humble servant,

Sonia Gandhi - Leader of the Indian Congress Government

By Sam Yadav

Narendra Modi was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Supreme Court of India of the Godhra 2002 riots. However, the anti-BJP and anti-hindu media constantly blames him. If they blame Modi for the 2002 Godhra riots, then why don’t they constantly remind us of all the riots that took place under Congress Government?

Most of the victims in the below riots were members from the Hindu community, but the media doesn’t feel they need to remind us about these riots and will continue to blame anyone associated with BJP or that has relations with Hinduism.

To be fair, the media should remind us of the ruling governments in these riots and make sure that they do not stop until the Supreme Court of India has cleared them just as they did for Modi.

Tamil Nadu is home to some of the richest Hindu temples

The Tamil Nadu government claims to be secular but has been treating Hindu institutions and temples differently compared to institutions of other religions.  The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Department administers 36,425 temples, 56 mutts, 47 temples belonging to mutts, 1721 specific endowments and 189 trusts.  The department claims to be watching over all religious institutions to maintain secularism but it has only been looking over the Hindu religious institutions and this policy is not being applied to any other religions like Christian or Islamic institutions.

The indifference and lack of stance against such an issue by Hindus along with the pushy missionaries being let into the region are the two main causes of such an injustice.  This has allowed the Tamil Nadu government to process the way it does, assuming such a level of control.

Prominent mutts of the 1840’s—when the British ruled—were asked to take over certain temples and endowments.  The heads of these mutts made sure to get written documents from the British Government assuring the mutts that the temples would not be taken into repossession by the government.

The mutts ran the temples well and efficiently using funds provided where they should  have been used—to perform important rituals and for renovations in the temple.  Overall, the funds were used for the primary purpose of the temple—supporting worship.  However, contrary to this, thousands of other religious institutions were simply handed over to the trustees with the government providing little or no supervision at all with what was being done with the funding and whether it was being utilized for the purpose of which it was given for.

The Madras Hindu Religious Endowment Act of 1925, was passed by the local Legislature for the purpose of providing better governance and administration of Hindu temples.  This act was widely changed and adapted several times to consolidate the government’s power over the Hindu institutions, both before and after Independence. After independence, the act was widely expanded.

What Hindus must remember is that it is not the job of a government body to rule over and administer what is going on with Hindu temples, especially when the same body is not doing the same for churches and mosques in the same region.  There must be something wrong if policies that were originated, to be applied to all religions, are only being applied to one religion continuously.  Hindus should group together and petition against such government bodies, bringing outside agencies to help and audit the HR and CE Department and its activities related to this issue.  Hindus should work together to gain back access to the temples so that they are handed over to their respective trustees or appropriate Hindu associations.

Mumbai (July 13, 2011) has seen many terrorist attacks by Islamists

By Mehak Budhrani

A day after the cabinet reshuffle, 3 bombs went off at Mumbai’s heavily populated and commercial locations. Very easily the media and the government say that it is the spirit of the people to move on to their normal lives. Well, the question we need to ask is do we have a choice? Is our spirit being taken for granted or are we letting our spirit be tested everytime there is an attack?

In the past decade, there have been a total of 105 blasts, over 918 deaths leaving 2533 injured. Cities all over India have been attacked and our commercial capital has been attacked more than once! How much is too much? We have heard and seen the blasts all over India, but what has been done to secure our lives? These recurring acts just go to show that our lives add very little value to the spirit of the nation. Till when do we want to let these people trample over us and leave a mark of victory with their henious crimes?
We boast of having one of the strongest military and naval bases in the world. Then how can one of the world’s most strongest nations have recurring attacks? There are two points to be noted here:
1. Why isn’t there anything being done about our nations security?
2. Why aren’t we as citizens raising our voice for our own protection?

What can be more important to a nation than the citizens itself? The right to protection has to be guaranteed by our Government. Committees, such as the Pradhan Committee, were set up after 26/11 but till date the report never materialised and it still lies on paper. Is it because of this lacunae in the Government Mumbai was attacked yet again on 13th July 2011?

We are not living in the stone age where we have to fight for land or peace. This is the 21st century and we have the right to live in peace and harmony. Treaties have been signed for peace but what use are those treaties when they are not followed.

Our Mother, India, and her children have a very high level of tolerance and hence we are just watching all that is happening before us.
Our eyes are open, mouths are shut. Our ears are open listening to the the loud dhamakas around us, but our hands do not have the power to stop anything. Even though India got her freedom in 1947, It will be long before we will be free and independence still has to get its true meaning.

In the past few years, India has witnessed frames of fear and terror in different cities at different times. The people want answers but don’t know where to seek them from. They want peace but all they get in return is war. They want the right to move freely, as ensured by the constitution, but everytime they go out they’re scared as they don’t know whether they will return home to their family the same day.

Our freedom always comes with a price. Subash Chandra Bose said, “Give me your blood and I will give you freedom”. This either means that we give our blood for the freedom we deserve, or give our blood for nothing.

We are hopeful that this war against terror will be won. It requires cooperation from our Government, the Military and the common man. It is not an individual conflict. This is for our mother, our India, our home. We have to understand that terrorism is not a natural disaster that is an act of God, but it is a threat to our national security and our ancient heritage which can be avoided and has to be stopped by us.

From this day on, I pledge to declare war on Terrorism in India – do you?

Standing up against Corruption is considered a Crime by the Congress Government

Corruption and Crime we have been told is ‘religionless’. But is it really? One would really have to ponder this today because it seems like the biggest criminals who are now obsessively hunted down by the Indian media are not individuals and political parties associated with the recent scams and crimes against India, but rather two very devout “Hindu” gurus- Sri Sathya Sai Baba and Baba Ramdev.

THEIR CRIME:

1) They stand against corruption
2) They uplift the downtrodden of India
3) They provide free services and basic necessities- free water, free education, free health care, etc. to millions of poor.
4) They preserve, protect and propagate the culture and spiritual ethos of India.
5) They provide support and guidance to millions of people

THEIR PUNISHMENT:

1) Maligning their image and stripping their dignity
2) Debasement of all the work they have done so far for India
3) Launching vicious intellectual as well as physical attacks on them and their followers (when they’re asleep for instance)
4) Rendering them slander and defamation on all news channels

Sathya Sai Baba and Ramdev are then perhaps the biggest ‘saffron criminals’ of India because they come from the most traditional and orthodox Hindu backgrounds and have become popular in a land where secularism and western ideals are now worshipped and cherished more than one’s own true cultural identity, especially in the Indian media which tries to portray itself as objective, secular and modern and presents the Hindu gurus as backward and corrupt.

Founder of FACT India, Francois Gautier stated- “Nowadays, the greatest adversaries of an ‘Indianised and spiritualised education’ are the descendents of the ‘Brown Sahibs’- the ‘secular’ politicians, the journalists, the top bureaucrats, in fact the whole westernised cream of India. And what is even more paradoxical, is that most of them are Hindus! It is they, who upon getting independence, have denied India its true identity and borrowed blindly from the British education system, without trying to adapt it to the unique Indian mentality and psychology… And what India is getting from this education is a youth which apes the West… They will grow-up like millions of other western clones in the developing world, who wear a tie, read the New York Times and swear by liberalism and secularism to save their countries from doom. In time, they will reach elevated positions and write books and articles which make fun of India, they will preside human-right committees, be “secular” high bureaucrats who take the wrong decisions and generally do tremendous harm to India, because it has been programmed in their genes to always run down their own country. In a gist, they will be the ones who are always looking at the West for approval and forever perceive India through the western prism.”

This form of mental slavery emphasized by Gautier is exactly the problem today where the Indian media with its talentless and intellectually impotent breed of journalists now debases Hindu gurus, denigrates Hindu spirituality and indirectly belittles Hinduism and India as a whole. The TV debates they launch are not very different from a collective gathering of neighbours who meet to gossip, discuss their brainless opinions and spread more rumours and falsehood. Recently, CNN IBN (India) aired a show called the “God Industry”, as usual questioning the Hindu gurus- Sathya Sai Baba and Baba Ramdev on the “wealth they have accumulated”. Sagarika Ghose the anchor of the show first provided a limited and one-sided definition of spirituality linking it merely with ‘renunciation of the world’ (which in fact is not the accurate or holistic Hindu worldview) and then asked why these Gurus aren’t renouncing the world but rather enjoying the wealth. She displayed her ignorance of Hindu Dharma firstly by presenting it in a non-hindu template and then went on to judge them based on what? -Her expertise on Hinduism, Hindu Gurus and corruption of course. And better yet, no one specifically asked what the Gurus did with all the wealth that the devotees gave them. How could they ask? It might have led them to find out that Baba Ramdev and Sathya Sai Baba secretly spent all that money on Armani suits, on lavish meals, on extravagant parties, stylish cars, gigantic houses and other business investments that served their personal gain. Perhaps this Saffron Baba duo deserves the biased treatment meted out to them then. After all they can’t be expected to be as pure and infallible as the secular journalists who question them and the corruption-free government that condemns them.

Does Hinduism say that a Guru should renounce the world and walk away from his duties towards society, especially when he can spiritually guide people? Does Hinduism say that possessing money is criminal especially when that money is being used for the betterment of society? Were spiritual gurus like Dronacharya, Chanakya and Samarth Ramdas wrong for participating in the affairs of the state and advancing their nation? If Hinduism doesn’t preach such impractical ideals then what gives authority to the Indian media to suddenly become the expert jury on such matters, that passes judgment on these individuals who have actually served the society in tremendous ways?

We can safely now say that the only thing that the media and journalists have succeeded in exposing is “themselves”. For that we must thank them immensely for the ignorant masses would never have become aware of all the falsehood and lies that is being fed to them every day by this new breed of english-educated ignoramuses.

Moreover, this high-flying elite cult of secular journalists who don’t give news but give views have probably never done anything themselves for the down-trodden that they could ever boast of. Or perhaps the hindu-voice that has become more mobilized and consolidated under Ramdev and Sathya Sai now needs to be shut down by them lest it unleashes more saffron criminals on the society

Swami Ramdev has declared a war against corruption in India

By Ranbir Singh

The brutal suppression of Swami Ramdev’s protests against corruption which reaches to the highest echelons of the Indian government should come as no surprise to anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of coming face to face with the country’s administrative and highly bureaucratic infrastructure. Graft, greed, black money, backhanders and dishonesty have become integral to the rusting steel frame of national civil administration. But what is perhaps most shocking is the silence.

Where are all the human rights voices who are always keen to support separatism in Kashmir and otherwise so very eager to expose the brutality of army and police when they crackdown on protests? Where are the western ‘liberal’ intellectuals who willingly act as sheep and android mouthpieces for the aforementioned Indian chattering class academics and activists? The only disturbing conclusions one can draw from this silence is that the leader of this anti-corruption drive is a revered Hindu holy man. Such a figure is an anathema to the Orwellian claustrophobia which strangulates all rational thinking when it comes to India political and social commentary.

In this Brave New World the unwritten rule is that Swami Ramdev must be wrong because he is an honoured figure within Hinduism. One need only compare to the kid glove treatment given to the Pakistani terrorists who arrived on that accursed December to inflict maximum casualties in Mumbai on specifically Hindu, Jewish and western human targets. Pleas continue to be heard for clemency and to understand the ‘context’ of why such people would want to commit genocide had they not been limited by numbers and killing machine technology. Yet with Swami Ramdev not one voice in favour but already rumblings of why Indian human rights activists and their duped western sheep either employ the self-censorship of gagging or slowly veer to subtle condemnation of him. It is in the latter that we learn the real reason why Swami Ramdev’s very important anti-corruption drive is being ignored or opposed. As one famous western news website put it, he is “openly backed by India ’s Hindu nationalist opposition”. That is basically the crux of it, and the reason for the double standards in reporting.

The Indian masses in their millions will have to rely on themselves for their “Arab spring” in order to get rid of an authoritarian ruling class who siphon off billions just as their parallel entities got so sued to doing in the Middle East . But while the people in the Middle East have been supported for their efforts to rid themselves of thieving kleptocracies, even when the radical religious element was never far from the forefront, in India the very idea that a Hindu religious figure can do the same is delegitimised simply because Baba Ramdev is Hindu and shows the relevance of Hinduism in all aspects of modern life, including tackling a system which effectively locks millions into poverty and dependence upon an inflexible crushing parasitic form of clientage which is the antithesis of democracy, liberalism and civic duties.

Peaceful Baba Ramdev supporter against Government corruption prays at Ramlila Maidan while Police attack with teargas

Delhi (CHAKRA) — Sri Ashok Singhal, International President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, condemned the arrest of Swami Ramdev, who was undertaking a hunger strike against raging corruption dealing with black money, by the Congress government. He further stated that the corrupt acts of the Congress Government remind him of the British Raj.

Furiously, he attacked the government against the corruption saying that the government is not only neck-deep in corruption but also neck-deep in ego of power, wanting to govern using a form of oppression, and terror. Democratic means of protests as well a a public awakening to the Congress government has led people to take action against the instability of democratic values.

These acts, according to Singhal, are comparable to those of the British Raj, which suppressed national movements in a similar shameless manner. He has announced that the VHP will take peaceful measures towards fighting against these acts that counter democracy to work towards abolishing oppressive tactics of the Congress government. After consultations with its office bearers, instructions will be set nationwide to act accordingly.

Singhal made clear that the VHP is ready to give full support to any peaceful movement whatsoever against the Congress government because the corruption cannot continue. VHP extends its full support and cooperation towards ending the corrupt tactics of the government.

Indian Yoga Guru – Baba Ramdev

Gurgaon, Haryana (CHAKRA) – Baba Ramdev-led, satyagraha, against corruption and black money, may have ended in the national capital but his followers have not given up the fight and are determined to keep moving ahead with their stance against corruption. On Sunday many of Guru Ramdev’s followers as well as followers of other religions and social organizations, hit the road to keep on supporting him.

In front of the deputy commissioners residence, Ramdev supporters burnt effigies of the Congress government during a protest in the market. It has also been announced by the Bharat Swabhiman Trust, that Monday will be declared as Black Monday, calling all shop owners to keep their shutters down for the day.

The state Vice President of Arya Pritinidhi Sabha, Kanhaiya Lal Arya said that the police resorting to violence was a clear infringement of human rights. He further stated his discontentment with the police forces aim to protect the government rather than doing something about he corruption of the government.

Kulbhushan Bhardwaj, the senior city BJP leader and district bar association president, said that the Saturday night’s incident was comparable to the Jallianwala Bagh episode. He further alleged that the only reason the UPA congress targeted the satyagraha, was to get the publics minds off of the real issue at hand–the corruption.

Vayapar Mandal, from the Trade Association of Gurgaon has also supported the movement, announcing that all shops in the city would remain closed on Monday. Trilok Chand Sharma, the state president of Bharat Swabhiman Trust, said that police have been deployed in the city to maintain the law and prevent any harm to the people of the city.

S.S. Deswal, a Gurgaon police commissioner, said that they have deployed police to maintain the law and order of the city while some groups took out a flag march on the city roads and other areas in the district. As long as people protest peaceful the city police have no problem with protests taking place.

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh (CHAKRA) – The ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM) post-communal clashes has led the opposition government in Andhra Pradesh to reveal that Hindu youth in the area are being harassed by the Congress-led state government.  The Congress government has appealed to the police of Andhra Pradesh to go from house to house and pick up Hindu youth.

Out of 300 people arrested for the communal riots, 200 were Hindu, the oppostion state chief reported.

Politcal leaders stated that the police including City Police Commissioner AK Khan have become  puppets of the ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM) and thus are targeting the Hindus in particular. Reddy further stated that Hindu families have been vacating their houses in Old City out of fear of police harassment and that the Congress government is doing nothing because of its participation in vote bank politics as a result of pressure from the  ’All India Council of United Muslims’ (MIM).  Hyderabad has very diverse demographic as more than 45%  is Muslim and many areas such a Old City are more than 50%.

The party is holding protests against the state police for the harassment of Hindus, on April 17^th.

Politcal party leaders today approached Meena a widow of Taneja who was stone pelted to death in Mustaidipura by a Muslim mob.  Meena, a mother of three children, all under the age of three, pleaded for the state government to help her gain a job so that she can provide for her young children.
