Look at Britain. Even with Iran's fatwa on Rushdie, they not only treated him well but protected his life. And on other hand, after some shouting by jihadis, our legs start shaking. We can not become superpower this way. Govt needs to demonstrate that it will not change its decisions based on some demonstrations; i hope our politicians fear less for their khursi and think about our nation before it's too late.

Tar sha? for all your support to Taslima. can you tell me the most critical thing she has to say about Islam?

I am not supporting her. If India had decided not to give her visa in the first place, that would have been okay. But once a decision has been taken, it should not be changed by some stone pelting or acts of vandalism. We need to be that mature and strong.

It requires a Communistic minded historian to write in a way that is liked by islamists. And that is not necessarily the truth.
Irrespective of what any communist may write, it is true that in India today, it is the islamists that are creating terror and killing innocent people. It is also true that the Govt is not taking stringent action fearing a political and electoral back lash from this community.

Hi Balaord,
I have read the article. It means nothing to the events that are being orchestrated by Islamic militants in India and else where. If the back ground of Islam is so glorious, why is the need for resorting to terrorism? How do you justify terrorism with your arguments on mathematics?
Further more, the article clearly states that the texts in Greek and Sanskrit were used. So this article, if any, is actually a credit to Indian Mathematics!

Naipaul's support for Hindutva he called destruction of the Babri Mosque as a "creative passion", and the invasion of Babur in the 16th century as a "mortal wound." He views Vijayanagar, which fell in 1565, as the last bastion of native Hindu civilisation. He is your biased buddy Mr.Nikhil. The world today knows how much Mr.Naipaul is a scholor.

Is naipaul seens as a fiction writer or historian?He is awarded for writing fiction ok? he is not a scholor of history. If you want to know the views of scholor read Ramila Thapar's book. Just google her name is the predident of so many world renowned history societies. Unfortunately the Hindutuva ilk hate her for her objective views.

A tail of a dog doesnt become a leg because you call it a "leg". Naipaul is a fiction writer, no historian is going to refer him in his thesis or going to quote him, because is is Fiction writer. Naipaul is a great literrary genius thats it. In his suppoty for BJP he went a step beyound and aparoted their views.thats all.

This is shameful but it is true hallmark of our secular political parties/organizations like Congress, Communists, HuJi, SIMI, MIM, Muslim League, JKLF, ULFA etc. Their secular policy is to appease minority community for their votes, divide Majority community. This government has done nothing other than trouble common man with tax burdens, rising prices, insecure environment etc. GOD save India and common man from such secular politicians.

Are you saying all the polictal parties are vying only for the 10% muslim vote? ridiculous. Hey you have already reduced Muslims to street merchants (who were once the ruling class 50 years back) using this so called Muslim appeasement theory. what else do you want?
how long is india going to give shelter to other countries citizens. Have we ever heard any other country doing this? These people(those whom shelter have been given) what have they done for Inida .They even do not tell the world what india have done for them. Till date our Dalai Lama what have he contributed to Inida for the goodness india have done . We indians do not force others to change their religion but what is happening in India now ,why are others taking the opportunities of this weakness of india .When are the politians going to unite to build the strong india .We should be looking at China ..the whole world can be agst them but they r doing wht they want n building a beautiful China. INida must learn from China government ,it it time india start thinking of themselves first,rather then giving shelters to others .Is india behind China in the terms of economy, finance,culture and many other things ..No not but due to the politcian india is behind .......stop going into smaller things but think bigger out of the box to bring india into the new generation ..yes yes i know u will say it is , we have the best IT prof ,no it still lacks ....n i need not say all ....let start putting things into action n just promises .

It's a big shame for this country. It was the culture of this country to welcome our guest, guest used to be like a god for us. Due to because of some fudamentalist, we are disturbing a life of a lady. Shame Shame INDIA. Those who killed many innocent peoples, those who raped girls, they are allowed to pass their life in a normal manner. Why not she is allowed to come and live normal life. What a shame for this country, we have to rule the country influenced by the threats. Sharam kar india, where are those HINDU organigations like RSS, BJP, SHIV SENA etc, they should come forward to save the dignity and culture of this country now.
