If as a nation we cannot rise to an occasion to protect an ancient, traditional community and that within our own country, a so-called secular country, are we really competent to champion the cause of Hindus across our frontiers? The country's executive,the legislature and the judiciary have all been mute witness to the highest level of injustice,attrocity meted out to a revered Hindu mathadhipati, traditionaly revered to be the great Siva himself on earth,,at the hands of one of our own state governments and the Sankaracharya has to this day not been allowed to even go back to his Mutt nor even an entry into the temple at Rameswaram for Darshan. Do we call it governance? Why then talk of what is perpetrated to hindus outside the country? The most fundamental principle of governance is to overcome permissiveness to such actions,events.If we are passive, no matter for what reasons, it is a national calamity worse than tsunami.Incidentaly, is not tsunami itself a depiction of the wrath of nature, of divine disapproval of events,which should have corrected the minds of people in power?
