I had gone to the Landmark book shop on Nungambakkam High Road Monday evening. When, I got a new 2 Rupee Coin minted in 2006 as loose change towards the balance that was payable to me, I was shell-shocked to note that on one side of this coin was the usual and familiar Ashokan Lion Capitol in miniature size (! ?) with the constitutionally approved and administratively established inscription of Sathyameva Jayathe (Truth Alone Triumphs) deliberately smudged/omitted with pseudo-secular sinister intentions. On the reverse of the same coin, I could clearly see the inscription of a Christian Cross which had replaced the map of India. I asked myself a highly saffronised and communal question: Are we living in a Catholic country like Italy or Spain or Portugal where Roman Catholicism is the religion of the State and the people?

We ourselves are to blame for this pathetic condition. We Hindus should start organizing ourselves and vote as one. We should also start talking about this discrimination to our family, friends and colleagues etc. Spread the message that we are under grave danger. And more importantly start voting for the party that supports only Hindu cause whether it is BJP or Congress and any party. If not we are doomed to be destroyed from this world.
