In early india it was maratha,sikhs and vijayanagara empires who came forward to save hinduism during independence and after independence it is brahmins and we are proud of all of them who ever they are,since achieving goal is important and not the caste.

Rationalist aka Xtian Convert>>Ram can't have a temple in his Birth Place Ayodhya

Rationalist aka Xtian Convert>>Ram can't have a temple in his Birth Place Ayodhya!

The temple already exists. Millions of Hindus visit Ram Lala there annually.

By the way, since when Xtian converts became rationalist?

Xtianity as a organized religion IS MORE DANGEROUS , DONE GREATER DAMAGE THAN ISLAM.

Pope accepted earth revolves aound the sun only in 2000 AD!

What I am happy to see - about Christianity and Islam
by anir on Sep 26, 2007 07:43 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

This is just observations and logical analysis so please don't get unneceraily emotional.

Both religions are founded on one-god-one-prophet-one-book, and if one tries to take any of the 3 or question any of the three, the whole religion collapses.

This makes them horribly sensetive about these 3 and their whole psychology works only to defend that structure, and every word in quran or bible. The only way they can stop questioning is to convert the person into the same mindset.

Now Christians call everyone non-believer, and Islam calls everyone infidel, both are queally fundamentalist in their beliefs...so they end-up in clashing as theyr near 50% in any country e.g. in Africa its already happening.

At the world stage its happening too. Its west vs Islam...the equation is pretty much sealed.

Now we just have to watch as they will finish each other.

The best option for humanity is for these two to reform but again...if they attempt to reform their foundation itself collapses,hence they will not.

Well, its tragedy but then let the bloodshed begin...or is it continue?

Mr. Rationalist,
It seems that your game is up.
Why don't you run away now that Vedas are scientific in nature?
Anyway, Vedas also describe the mathematical calculations that are made while constructing sanctum sanctorums in temples.
The Pythagoras theorem was known to the Vedic civilization much before the rest of the world knew it.
The Vedic civilization was the most developed in the human history since science and religion supported each other constructively.

Yesterday, the TOI had an article in which the Physics Nobel Prize winner said that modern science isn't able to explain 96% of the universe.

Your rationalism SUCKS!!!

Whether you like it or not Ravan did had an aeroplan that's how he was able to capyutre sita from madhya pradesh and transport her the bay to srilanka in one,where Ram took many years to do so.Furter more it is mentioned in great detail and even the sound of the pushpak viman when vibhihan transported RAm and sita to ayadya in one day.Ravan was called 10headed because his brilliance was equal to 10clever head and we was expert in many science,so may be it was he who build the viman which even Ram did not had.

DMK Racial Blackmail
by san man on Sep 26, 2007 07:25 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

DMK is a party whose politics is based on racial blackmail. This type of extortionist movement should not be catered to or appeased. They are always continually looking for ways to attack the rest of the country which they hate, even though they still want the country to cater to their needs. They will tell non-Tamils to go to hell, but they still want them to make sure to send over that Cauvery water. The sneering blackmailers should not be pampered or coddled. If you want the rest of the nation to respect you, then you have to respect the rest of the nation right back. It's not a one-way street.

Rediff said: "I have not said anything more than Valmiki, who authored Ramayana. Valmiki had even stated that Ram was a drunkard. Have I said so?" he said at the DMK headquarters in Chennai on Thursday.

Newindpress said: "I have not said anything more than Valmiki, who authored Ramayana," he asked while replying to questions from reporters at the DMK headquarters here. "Is Advani ready to discuss Ramayana with me in the same platform after going through Valmiki Ramayana fully?" he asked. Asked whether he would accept implementing the project without disturbing Ram Setu, he said the intention of the project was not to destroy the Ram Setu."I only want the project to be implemented at the earliest as it would reduce the shipping expenses and develop trade.

One Idea to Make a point on this Faith
by on Sep 26, 2007 07:06 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Most of the Movements in India such as this one would cause a point of inconvenience to the general population but Faith is something that every person should respect even if its not yours to follow. The best thing that this movement can do so that the Governing body led by "Sonia" can understand is by following Mahatma Gandhi's medicine, "Non-cooperation" but in a modern way. Declare a working day as "Non-cooperation Day" and on this day everything works fine but everyone who believes in this faith refrain themselves from Using Cell Phones, Pumping Petrol in to Vehicles and a lot of other such things which would make a remarkable downsize in the government revenue. If one day isnt enough make it a Week and make the government feel the heat in a peaceful manner. Its about time that everyone should realize that Hindus also live in India because I Myself being a Hindu feel like a minority in India where more than 70% of the population is Hindu. Enough is Enough. Do you think even 1% of the Islamic population in India would take any such remark on their faith.

I didn't mean one community to be dominant but atleast one community should not be treated as they are non-existent in this country thats just not right. Tolerance is a relative term but anyone can take only so much. This would have never happened if the leader of the ruling party is not "Sonia" or if the Prime Minister is not her Muppet. Mr Singh is not to be blamed for this whole mess but he is effective only in a diplomatic way not politically.

Land Transport vs Sea Route
by san man on Sep 26, 2007 06:59 AM  Permalink  | Hide replies

I believe that opponents of Sethusamudram should try to offer Tamil Nadu a better alternative project, rather than this canal. Tamil Nadu should instead be offered a project to extensively develop its road network, for land transportation. Rail network should be augmented too.

Road-based trucking is much faster than slow shipping, and can easily deliver directly to end-user sites. This is much more suitable for Tamil Nadu's booming auto parts industry, with Just-in-Time delivery requirements.

Sethusamudram was pitched as offering faster shipping from coast-to-coast, like Gujarat to Kolkata, but with better land transport networks such shipping would not be necessary. Furthermore, such shipping routes would have to hug the Indian coastline, thus increasing coastal pollution. This would be ecologically damaging, hurting not just the tourism industry but also the fishing industry.

Furthermore, choosing shipping transport over land transport would bypass development of interior areas, allowing prosperous coastal cities, with backward and impoverished interior areas. Do we want to be like Israel or Australia?

Common man wants bijli-sadak-pani, and development of land transport industry would help that. Besides truck transport favours small businesses with lower startup costs, and creates economic ripple effects with eateries and motels and pump stations to all service the drivers. This produces much better trickledown effects for the masses. Shipping companies are big compani

(cont'd)
Shipping companies are big companies which would not produce trickledown of wealth, and would instead bypass the common man, depriving him of economic opportunity. The only beneficiaries would be DMK cutting their deals with the big shipping companies, and grabbing their cut of the money. Any resultant failure to bring development to the masses would then be blamed as usual on the evil Brahmin/Shylock "conspiracy", and milked for more votes.
