Look how our secular Defence minister is talking about India's enrichment of culture with the coming of Islam....Hello minister are Gengiz khan, Mohammed Ghori, Ghazni, Babar, Akbar, Shahjahan, Jahangir, and AURANGZEB hiding at the backyard of your house???

'open society' policy has done more harm than good
by Sneha on Sep 26, 2006 08:41 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

When our own defence minister believes that Islam has enriched our culture, it is no wonder that India is in her current global position- that of a complete nonentity in the international community, with an increasing problem of terrorist activity within her borders. The only reason why India maintains such a cordial relationship with the US is because we refuse to do anything in relation to Pakistan. Perhaps Mr. Mukherjee needs to revise his history to see the real impact of India's 'open society' policy.

agree with sneha..mr mukherjee is playing to the gallery, being politically correct..quite typical of Indian leaders..beating around the bush and not confronting Islamic radicalism or even hving the guts to admit it..USA, a newcomer to the Jihad game has learnt far more in a few years than Indians have learnt in centuries...quite understandable, Indians are runners, they run away from Sind, Bengal, Punjab & Kashmir..probably their idea of peaceful coexistence would be to run away from Mumbai as well..fast becoming a terror hub.

festival
by karigar on Sep 25, 2006 10:00 PM  Permalink 

"The holy month of Ramzan has just begun. We have marked the beginning of the Jewish new year."

And some superstitious idol worship that go by the name of Diwali & Durga Puja?.....??

How difficult is it for the "hon'ble" munister saab to honour an Indian festival?
