Nehru in ''discovery of India'' wrote why South Indians are more decent, gentlemanly when compared with North-Indians!
by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay on Apr 12, 2007 10:47 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Nehru in "discovery of India" wrote why South Indians are more decent, gentlemanly when compared with North-Indians!

Incredibly, even Nehru accepted that North Indians are more aggressive (when compared with South Indians) BECAUSE NORTH INDIA WAS UNDER LONG OPPRESSIVE ISLAMIC RULE.

If you live with people who rouse rubble every day, you also start imitating them.

UP was the main center of Islamic dynasties in India and underwent long oppression.

And that's why BJP will always remain powerful in UP. Because they will meet these islamists right on the street.

don't taunt!I am more patriotic n nationalist Indian than you.Nationalist doesn't necessarily means to be a member of BJP/to vote BJP only.To love country means to be sincere in discharching your duties,doing nothing detrimental to the interest of Nation/Society/Humanity.I know so many BJPwallas,taking huge bribes,doing ticketless journey in rails,not going to offices(Govt)n drawing salaries for doing nothing,selling/manufacturing spurious/adulterated food items/drugs,an endless chains of misdoings.IN THIS HAMMAM,ALL ARE NACKED,KYA CONG,KYA SP,KYA BJP,KYA THIS,KYA THAT.ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD MORAL CHARACTER,CANT BE GOOD TO ANYONE-FAMILY,SOCIETY,NATION,HUMANITY.

Nationalist does not mean hate muslims either. Nor secularism means APPEASE muslims. But that apart you talk of morals. With morals comes sensitivity and moving with times. Why it is more important for muslims to LOOK MUSLIMS than being good muslims !!! why cannot you make it personal and see that it does not cause nuisance. Why only selective use of technology where it suits and RELIGION DEMANDS when it does not ???. Morality, I think, has a wider perspective.

why successive guvts don't make stringent laws?why they become afraid of loosing power if did something against muslims?To be strong,requires to be just,honest,upright,which is lacked by all parties,including BJP.

The stringent laws aspect is one part i agree with and BJP is guilty there but the defence is that they shared power with a few other so called 'secular' parties whose aim was to not arouse the muslims.

Dear NAFASAT ALI KHAN,
You Seem to be a MODERATE MUSLIM.....Rare to SEE !!!!!

You & Some of Your MUSLIM Brothers who Claim that they are NATIONALISTS & PATRIOTS are Either Too INNOCENT / IMMATURE that they Don't Know the Meaning of ISLAM.......

For MUSLIMS there is NO Country !!!!!!!
For Muslims There is No NATION !!!!!!
For Muslims there is No PATRIOTISM !!!!!

There is Only thing VALID & LEGAL for MUSLIMS - KURAN, Its Teachings and ALLAH....Every other Belief is UNLAWFUL !!!
MUSLIMS have ISLAM/ KURAN / ALLAH as Their PRIORITY not NATIONS !!!!!!!

Its a DARK Religion who Doesn't Allow you to THINK / ARGUE !!!!!!!!
For ANYONE Who Argues is an UNBELIEVER !!!
So EITHER you CALL yourself a MUSLIM or an INDIAN National !!!!
You can't be BOTH.......For If you Show PATRIOTISM....Islam will NOT Allow you to do so In NAME OF ALLAH & JIHAD !!!!

Thus ANY MUSLIM in This WORLD is a ISLAMIC FOLLOWER ( BELIEVER ) or a Patriot of ANY Country (UN BELIEVER ) But Can't Be BOTH at the Same Time !!!!!!!!

Think Over It !!!!!
ANSWER this When You Get your STATUS Clear,WHETHER you are a MUSLIM First or an INDIAN First !!!!!

If You & Your Brothers Come Out as an INDIAN.....then DELETE the Lines From KURAN Dictating HATRED Against NON MUSLIMS
If You Can't Do that Remain with your ISLAM and ALLAH........This World Don't Need MUSLIMS having HATEFUL Feelings for NON MUSLIMS !!!!!!!

Nafasat, these are generic problems with our politicians and BJP members are actually better then their congress and third front predecessors in these aspects of corruption.
Also, other than these (where BJP is better), I think BJP already conforms to your criteria of "sincere in discharching your duties,doing nothing detrimental to the interest of Nation/Society/Humanity." So, why the hatred for BJP? If you really love the nation, I don't think you have a better choice right now (I hope we have better parties in future).

contents are correct.it was the order of days in medieval age.what to say medieval age,holocast in germany,bosnia,kosovo are recent.however,it is desirable that muslims should condemn the misdoings of Muslim rulers.I personally cndemn such acts of theirs.This is the only way for goodwill between the two communities inIndia.

Dear Friend,

Going by Nehru's Logic Did he want North Indian Hindus remain aggressive that way that he asked Muslims to remain in the Country.

He was a confused Leader who spoke and behaved both the ways.

Who says aggressive Islamic rule was taken by Hindus so easily?

The very rise of Sikhs (who were all Hindus, whose Gurus gave life to protect Hindus) show to the contrary. Jats played major role opposing Islamic rule. Rajputs rallied against Islamic rule.

Fact of the matter is: Islamic rule never settled in India/. It was always challenged.

Nehru is a secular ICON. WHEN NEHRU SAYS THIS, YOU UNDERSTAND THE REALITY. IF BJP SAYS IT, EVERYBODY WILL ACCUSE IT AS COMMUNAL.

Bogey of castesism is recent phenomena. At the time of Chanakya most of the kings were Todays Backwards. Chandragupt was todays backward. Shivaji was from todays backard community...

What Bhasker pointed out is 100% correct. Muslim could never had 100% dominance. They had stiff resistance from Hindus and this was the reason why Hinduism could survive unlike Pharas ( present Iran ).

It is all Nehru's Policies due to which people have become very aggressive in attitude. This attitude is not bad if used for good purpose but Nehru is responsible for making people aggressive for other cause. Since Independence nothing has been done in these states specially in North India other than just spreading of Castism. These Mulayam and Mayawati has taken advantage of this and ruled state number of times. Due to Illiteracy people don't understand that these parties specially SP and BSP are doing nothing. When SP, BSP comes to power they try to fill their pockets as much as possible during the undefined tenure becoz they don't have existence in other states and they just try to encash the opportunity. Thus people should understand and throw these regional parties out of the state and should vote for either Congress or BJP. Now when you compare congress with BJP you would find BJP far ahead. BJP has a reputation of doing work for people. In our state MP you would see every where roads are under construction, they are doing gr8 job. In Gujrat you can see the developent is at its peak. So its better to choose aggressive parties which work for positive side.

Bhaskar Babu, please do not single out just one factor. Remember that UP has been under casteism even longer than the muslim rule. Meerut will be an interesting battle.
Just as a foot note: if you look at your post ("...people who rouse rubble every day, you also start imitating them...")the logical conclusion from that would be that people would have been voting for Islamic parties which is not the case as it appears from the article. The last line of your post does not link to your full posting. You may want to fill in your chain of thoughts.

Gautam: that's the problem of half baked 'commie' knowledge!

Just think, why Uttar Pradesh, supposed heart of "Casteist" Hinduism since antiquity saw SO LITTLE CONVERSION TO ISLAM. Max Muslim was 20% just prior to partition.

While Bengal and North Western India where casteism was MUCH LESS CONVERTED MOST?

Casteism is a dead-horse which was created as a bogey during Colonial Era.

Casteism has no relationship with violence. It was 100% because of aggressive, oppressive ISLAMIC RULE.

NEHRU EVEN WROTE, PRIOR TO ISLAM PERIOD, HINDUS OF NORTH INDIA AND SOUTH INDIA WERE OF SAME NATURE!

U r perfectly right. Northies are very agressive, uncivilised.

The other day i was travelling in BMTC VOLVO Bus in bangalore. The whole Bus was gentelmenly and quite. There was these 2 different North boys who started shouting over thier mobile and chatting loudly. Eventhough everybody gave stare look they did not care. Even on the road in bangalore i see Nothies aggressivess. They are totally uncivilised.

SAM KIM, this is out of context. Anyway, i have lived in Bang for a few days and I found two kinds of kannadigas - one who are gentlemanly and do not create problem - another who are just like the ones you described for 'northies'. Similarly, there are different kinds of people across north India. I don't see the generalisation. I found many kannadis very very aggressive.

If you live under oppressive Islamic rule for 500 years, you will turn to similar.

Artisan, this is a stupid statement - biharis are everywhere, partly because there are no opportunities in Bihar due to laloo's rule supported by congress which was voted to power in 16 states of the nation besides Bihar. So, you see, you are all equally responsible in bihar's backwardness.
.
Anyway, there are two kinds of biharis just like from other states - one, the knowledgeable type, the other the hooligan type.
.
And there are more educated biharis in bangalore, chennai and pune than in delhi.

yes Bihar is the most civilized state in India where kidnapping has become household industry.
Yes north indians are aggressive and I am proud of that because Of our aggressiveness we fought against Islamic rule the most only problem was we were divided.
