Let us not be so complacent and self-congratulatory because they have decided to withdraw. It is worth asking why they thought they could get away with the affidavit, and their clear anti-hindu bias : the clear answer is because we Hindus (myself included) talk too much, rely on everyone else to take the lead, and throughout history have ourselves allowed others to destroy and demean our culture, religion and self-respect.
Let us all resolve to talk less and do more, and not be ashamed of being Hindu. Please exercise your votes and make sure you are heard.

Ravi, she is now a widow for many years. It seems you are right she needs a big and fat one atleast 7 inches wide and 7 inches long
There is no law against blasphemy in our country. Even most advanced countries like USA has a law. If it is needed for economic reasons to make the sea deep at Setubandha, the Government should do it. But to question the very existance of Lord Rama, by our own Government makes Hinduism a laughing stalk in the whole world. What is that religion, whose elected representatives themselves consider it as folklore or myth? Already hinduism is looked down upon as a culture of idol worship. Now if our own Government swears in its apex court through an affidavit that our God is nothing but a mythical figure then whole world will call us Pagan on our face. My opinion is that if you need to reconstruct something at the setubandha, go ahead but please dont hurt our feelings. Is this because our country has a sikh prime minister and an italian leader of the ruling party?

Sonia is questioning law minister to show that she and her party has nothing to do with this affidavit. We are not fools. They are taking back the thing as if you slap somebody on the face and then say 'sorry'. Dirty political tricks.
It is only the Hindus who are time and again tortured. F.M. Hussain is still free and can paint the Hindu Godess in nude. Millons of hindus were hurt due to this affedevit. Government to disown the other GODS and see the result. Hindus have been taught to "Leave and Let Leave.

M F Hussain is a mad bugger and there are some idiots who support him in tbe name of Secularism and freedom of expressin, artist and so on. I Thought of painting ALLAH but he is invisible.
Though I am a staunch Hindu I believe that Sri Rama is only a mythological character possibly created as an embodiment of desirable qualities. But I also reject Abraham , Jesus & Mohomed as messengers of God & I dont believe in any parting of the Red Sea, resurrection, immaculate conception or Gabriel or al-buraq. But our pseudo-secularists & 'Hindu' rationalists are silent about this while being very vocal about Sri Rama being fiction & even indulging in crap talk - what else can we expect from crap characters. And the 'Face the Nation' program on CNN-IBN anchored by Sagarika Ghosh specially mentioned the inconvenience caused to the public by the 'Hindutva' forces - even I believe that they should not incur public ire - they could have instead obstructed the 'secular' politicians. But why specially mention this - what about the obstruction frequently caused by the communists & other political parties & the Muslims in their demand for reservation.

moderate hindus are outraged by the fact that government can say that with impunity, for a slightest slur against islam, the world would burn and the politicians / power that be dare say anything against them. but hindus ? we've been a punching bag for ages. but no longer... the outrage is justified.
What govt is telling based on Scientific facts available till date. If some one believes in God, and claims that God ordained to do some act( suppose which is against law) Then tell which court would admit this claim. Govt should be sensitive towards people feeling and should have taken extremist into confidence.

like the court does not do anything against those who publicly issue fatwa to kill some one. after all threat to kill and announce reward to kill is a crime in any country. have you seen any action against fatwa makers?

goto say a place like united states, ask president george bush, about proof of existence of jesus christ. that'll be a pointer. they are more free, and they are a better democracy. ours is a democracy of numbers, they at least debate openly.

Come on ! BJP even couldnt win single seat in kerala and Bengal.And it has barely any presence in some of the states. In fact BJP grows on Anti-minority agenda. You people cant think beyond what was taught in Shakha. Have a positive agenda and drop hate attitude.
