As a RAW chief B Raman represented secular Indian state. His responsibility then was to defend rights of all religions, not just one religion.
Now he has retired and presents himself as a spokesman of Hindu people not just in India but citizens of other nations. This right as a retired person he has got and can do so, but it does create a diissonance for rest of the state officers.
It is almost like betraying the Constitutional values, well it is his considered choice. And it seems that his cohorts are plentiful!
His anguish is understandable, but this article is a sad event for the secular Indian state.
Sad to say that this RAW chief is now unworthy to defend the values this teacher stood for. However, he would have forgiven him and so shall it be.
Ode to Father Gilson .............................................. From the other side of Earth, From other times, from religion; God must have sent you to us.
How else to explain the tide you brought to our lives, And the comforting presence to any, Blessed in School days of your company.
Your presence though for long dead; Still conveys in silence, the essence Which had ever remained unsaid.

my dear offside, come to the happening side...he is the RAW officer with expertise on counter-terrorism and he is praising the success of a policy maker who has implemented the counter terrorism on the groud successfully, without votes in the mind.

Also, Hindus have been bad-mouthed by the Sonias, Rajdeeps, TOIs, NDTVs, CNN-IBNs with the Secular Fundamentalism, its ok if Raman exceeds his brief for a moment, anyway he is right...

Prsent RAW chief is a Syrian Christian - Hormis Tharakan - a kerala christist apointed personally by Sonia Gandhi to finish off hinduism. 1000s of Hindus are raped and killed in Kerala by christian missionaries and no media ever talks about these genocides in south india. Think about the rise of Christian barbarism led by Y Rajasekha areddy and Antonio maino and Benedict hitler
