Precisely these reasons show why BJP should be given 400 seats to rule India in perpetuaty.
We really have come long way, I remember an incidence it may be in mid sixties at Varanasi,when it got one of the infrequent (for those times) communal strife.One of the very much loved stationary shop (if I remember the name correctly Kallu's Shop or something)situated at heart of Varanasi's famous crossing was looted with connivance of then infamous PAC. And the boy owning the shop was our class mate. I am still haunted by the forlorn look on his face when the curfew was lifted and he came back to his shop next day. May be it is 40 year old story ( I happpen to be a senior citizen) but it still give me shivers. What a progress we have made now every election will precede or follow a strife making a small new item.

Abinav, One quick question for you? Where do you get the idea that every muslim is a terrorist? I am a muslim, A proud Indian.
By the way, let me tell you that, terrorism in most senses is just one sided opinion. Bhagat singh is our national hero. We regard him to the highest ranks. But, in the British books of history he is a terrorist. Not that I am defending terrorism. But lets not get things messed up here. Yes, what happened in US in sept is terrorism, but then the same rule should apply to What is happening in Iraq. If what happens in Kashmir is terrorism, then what happens to kashmiris should also be terrorism.
Now, again, dont get me wrong. I am not defending the so called bullshit jihad but I am defending that lone kashmiri whose family is shot dead just because some policemen or army personal wants a few medals.
I have heard all this bulls crap so much that now I feel it is not going to make anything better arguing or discussing.
We get engrossed in discussions that have no meaning. How, do you assume that Vande matram will not be sung or said by a muslim.

But you should explain, why most of the terrorists in india are muslims? Who drove out the kashmiri pundits. I dont blame all muslims. But, we are not able to identify normal muslims & terrorist, because both follow same culture, space & religion.
If you are really concerned with muslims, you should take initiative to drive away those muslims from your community. As long as you dont do, it will be difficult for others to identify ordinary people & terrorists. Because its their survival..

U go on strike in multitudes against hanging of Afzal. U take out huge rallies against Bush. Have u ever taken out huge rallies to protest against the atroicties commited by u r brothers in Kashmir and elsewhere? I will give u an example. IN Assam...when ULFA started killing hindi speaking labourers........the entire junta in Assam came out in huge numbers to protest against it. If u r patriotic......prove it with u r work........not by ur speech dear. We r not fools. Actions speak much louder than words. All of u secretly admire crimnals like Dawood / Abu Salem...for robbing hindus. Otherwise how can u explain that Abu Salem could even think of contesting in an election after everyone knows that he is a known crimnal. Mind u he did not fight against injustice.

In that case you should punish the people who killed 2000 muslims in gujarat. The people who got killed had nothing to do with godhra. Yes, you should not leave anybody who was involved in Godhra, but imagine killing a baby in a mothers woumb and then tossing the feutus in the air. What religion is it. Raping hindu women by muslim men and vice versa, what religion is that.
All terrorist are not muslims. Kashmir is a regional problem. Kashmiris have their own affair. If I have the same religion as a terrorist it is no reason i should leave my religion.

Dear Mohd....result u have already seen in Uttaranchal and Punjab. Wait a little more....u will see the result all over India
The way this Nation is divided by BJP & its hoodlums in the organisations like RSS/VHP/ Bajrang Dal on the basis of religion will definitely bring another partition of this country. That every human being is identified by his religion and then branded accordingly makes a mockery of humanity. BJP and its organisations, without doing anything worthwhile for this Nation, have been indulging in dividing this nation just to ensure they come to power. The humiliation of muslims & Christians is being done in a systematic manner. This humiliation is to such an extent that the minorities may not be able to live in this country for long. The continuous feeling of insecurity, the continuous bombardment of minorities being anti nationals is suffocating the them.
Though we find terrorists in every religion, muslims in India are being targeted as terrorists. What happens to LTTE, what happens to Naxals, what happens to Moninder & Kohli. What happens to Modi & Advani. What happens to RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal. All these people/organisations are terrorists. Why project only muslims as terrorists.
Though Hindus are indulging in preaching & converting others into Hindu fold, why only missionaries are being targeted for preaching christianity. What is Hare Rama Hare Krishna doing. What are so many Yogis doing in the west. What is Guruji Sri Sri Ravishankar doing ?
The only motive of BJP is to get this Nation another partition, it seems. Because a population of almost 16 Crore muslims and 2 crore christians can not live under humiliation by few scoundrels. They must be waiting for another Jinnah to come into picture. That day may not be very far. If, instead of accomodating, the theory of isolation is used, they will definitely prefer to stay in a separate Nation. The muslims will prefer to have another Nation for themselves and Christians will have another Nation. So the land of India will be divided again on the basis of religion. This only can be the result of immense hate campaign run by few fanatic organisations like RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal and their leaders in BJP.
Though very few Hindus are fanatic, they are vociferous. They are mainly Brahmins, the uppers in Hindu fold. They have humiliated the vast masses of backwards, he dalits and the OBC's, for thousands of years. Now because of Govt. efforts they are getting some education and are coming out of the clutches of Brahmins. But thiscommunity is cunning enough to keep them backwards by inciting them in the name of religion.

Dear Mandar, I would have joined hands with you to oppose BJP if 1993 Serial Blasts would have been carried out by Sangh Parivar. OR If Godhra Trains would have been burnt by them. OR If Mumbai Train Blasts would have had their involvement. OR if they would have been sending Swayamsevaks in Kasmir Valley for Jehad. OR If Bajarang Dal would have been instrumental in attacking the our Parliament. OR if Sangh Parivar refuses to sing Vande Mataram - the list is much longer - and since these fanatics did not qualify the test - They are not fanatics enough - not yet. On the other hand - they do offer a nationalistic dispensation. They gave a stable and relatively safe govering period for 6 years. And made us a nuclear power. As of now, although I will not staunchly support them but they are the beeter ones to live with.
RE:RE:Freedom from humiliation

Gharpure,
Do not keep on repeating the same old points to cover these organisations. These organisations are more detrimental to this Nation than terrorists.
The terrorists organisations feed their cadre with religious fanaticism, the above mentioned organisations do the same. The terrorist organisations survive on spreading hatred on the basis of religion, these organisations also are flourishing by spreading the hatred in the society. The terrorist organisations keep on killing the innocents to achieve their goal. The RSS/VHP/BJP/Bajrang's do the same. Have you forgotten so soon the state sponsored terrorism killing thousands of innocents there. Have you forgotten burning alive of Graham Staines & his sons. Have you forgotten the raping of nuns. I can also give a very big list of activities these scoundrels are indulging into. Terorist organisations believe in creating terror in the minds of people. These organisations have achieved their goal in doing so. Visit Gujarat and the muslims families there. You can find out their helplessness and the fear under which they stay.
What is this Nationalistic dispensation you are talking about. Please ensure once again whether the activities which suit the thugs are being made out to be seen as Nationalistic dispensation. This will be very dangerous.
The present activities carried out by these thugs will eventually lead to partition of India. No community will like to live under the dominance of other. Nor the humiliation can be taken any longer.
If the Govt. finds some terrorists in 1993 blasts, or Mumbai train blast, who is stopping the Govt. to get hold of them and punish them. But because of the acts of few idiots how can you isolate the 16 crore people ? Singing or not singing Vande Mataram hardly makes you more patriotic or less patriotic. This game of Vande Mataram is used by these nonsense organisations just to humiliate the muslims. This can never be an issue for a Nation. Muslims have never denied to sing the National Anthem.
You being Gharpure, definitely you will support staunchly these organisations. Because these organisations are created & run by Brahmins to ensure the Brahmin dominance in a cunning way.

Mandar, First, you should refrain from making casteist remarks. If you claim to worry about India as a nation, the first thing that you need to stop is propogating divide in our society on caste/language/religion. I hope you get this. I did care to tell you that I am not an ardent supporter of anyone. However the drama of democracy gives you a choice. The choice we have now is not to choose the best but to choose the least evil. I am quite open to supporting any political group based on their policies and real actions on the ground. India does not have a lot of alternatives. For now there are only two national players - The Congress and the BJP. Congress have had their chance and it only stands to reason that someone else be given a chance to make a difference. BJP is only two decade old phenomenon. If you are trying to tell me that religious conflicts in India were conceptualized, created and executed by RSS/BJP - I am afraid you would be mistaken. If I study the history that is taught to us in our schools - a history writtem by left leaning scholars - never told me that Hindus as a group at any time demanded for bifurcation of our nation. Someone did - and succeeded. And religious conflicts in India date back much prior to curent date - long before even Europeans came here. Ayodhya issue was noit born in 1980s. It is centuries old and has been responsible for riots decade after decade, century after century. Just to give a perspective, RSS and likes never existed then. So holding RSS and company responsible does not seem very intelligent. Especially more so because people seem to vote for them. At the same time, if I see what these guys have to offer is, an educated leadership to begin with. And if you see the statistics of their 6 years' rule you will find that they fared a bit better than earlier regimes. As far as riots are concerned - loss of human life is deplorable under all circumstances. However, if we have deicided to make a case from Godhra and brand a party as communal then National Confrence and Congress in J&K, entire congress for 1984 massacre thru out the country need to be highlighted in the same breath. And then what option do we have Samajwadis of UP or Communists from Bengal ?
Lets condemn all who are sectarian. My advice to you - please do not be selective while you choose to do so.

The things have degenerated because India as such has become casteist. Congress and CPM is more brahmin than RSS for that matter. So mud slingling and RSS has to take the dirt too, to gain foothold. You suspect it's intentions only because they call for a Hindu unification and rest talk secular but are Brahmin to the core. Every party perpetrates division of society.
