The scene shifts to…

BTW we are secular and you all know it.

They go inside and the noble lady obliges them with interviews dutifully changing Saris first Green and then Saffron.


And we the people of India Really are we?
Before answering to your self please consider the following from my earlier post.

Dissecting India and Indians in to microscopic Communities, sub Communities, Castes, Sub Castes, Sub Sub Castes and so on and on…
Drawing conclusions and presenting figures in such a way that you end up more confused than ever with a sinking feeling that we all are any thing but INDIANS.

NEVERTHEELESS, Come maybe what I with my family ought to sing…

Secularism: The Biggest threat to India.

Admittedly my opening statement will shock most of you. I know what you might think, my being the most politically Incorrect in this fashionable age of being “politically correct”. Nevertheeless I stick to my guns and even at the risk of being labeled, as “communal” honestly want to open debate on the subject.


Let me put the record straight, I am not writing any thing, which has been debated so many times, and by so many people that after cricket this is the one another topic every body is equally an expert as any one else. There is a virtual “secular” industry thriving on this subject. And many of them are now “emenient”journalists, politicians of all hues and colors, intellengestia, groups etc. And I am not part of any of them.


For me, to begin with, the very word “secular” is an alien word. It is a word or “ism” invented by few very intelligent people. This word is used very selectively and this “ism” is an infinitely elastic. As I see it this has divided the society in to two. Secular and Communal. You or me are either one or the other. There are no middle grounds. And most interestingly it is the “secularists” who posses the knowledge and wisdom to decide .If they admit you in your elite club then you are “secular” and if you question them, howsoever rational your are, are labeled “communal”.


Once again with out going in to the often-repeated words like minioritism, appeasement, terrorism, history writings etc. I ask after all what have we achieved being “secular”?

-Partition of India? May Be. Our great leaders then decided to assimilate the other group in to the main stream and they (Muslim League) wanted concessions then more then more, and being secular we met the demands one by one in our zeal to be “secular” and ultimately they wanted a separate state and we obliged after paying a very heavy price.

-Division of the society? Definitely Yes. Rather than uniting the society it has divided the society more. The glasses we wear, Secular or Communal, are viewing every thing and any thing. Irrespective of the issue the focus almost always shifts to it being “secular” or “communal”. Even the issues like Nationalism and terrorism are weighed on the scale of “secularism” and “communalism”.

-Betrayal of democracy? Yes. We are proud of being a Democracy. If democracy mean only, conducting regular elections and transfer of power with out blood shed. Then we are. But if it means involvement of people and raising their issues then, are we? What we have in the name of democracy is a shrewd combination and permutation of electoral mathematics. And the root of “secularism” lies in this electoral mathematics.


We hail the “secularism” when we see our Noble Ministers in the company of an Osama look-alike during election campaigns. We hail “secularism” by refusing to accept most (almost?) Islamic terrorists are carrying out terror acts. Our “secularism” restricts us to celebrate and pay respect to our national Heros, symbols, culture etc.


It was “secularism” which gave us the govt, we rightly deserve. United Progressive Alliance (UPA). Only adhesive which keeps them together is “secularism”. Have a look please…

Mr. Prime Minister

@Mercy of the QUEEN

C/o. Reverential Karat ji, Yechuri Ji, DassGupta Ji, BasuDev Ji, Paswan Ji, Soren Ji, Ramdoos Ji, Asali Pm Ji, Nakali Pm Ji, Super Pm Ji, Could have been Pm @ 25 Shri Rahul Ji, Priyanka Ji, Robert Ji, Arjun Ji, Should Have been PM Ji (Pranab Mukherjee Ji) and lest I forget, SADHU Ji And his JIJA JI. (Unqualified apologies for any name inadvertently left out).


We thank all of you Oh! all noble ladies and Gentlemen from delivering us from the clutches of “communal” forces. All other issues like safety and security, poverty, National pride, economic growth, infrastructure etc.are sacrificed at the altar of “secularism”. Thanks Again?

This is precisely where we are after practicing “secularism”.

Now if I feel that this “secularism” is the biggest threat to our country it is for the same reasons stated above.


But the debate has started and I expect you to enlighten me more on the subject. All and any views are most welcome.

Vande Mataram

All right I ask THEM Don’t Sing Vande Mataram. Fine?
Then what NEXT?

What if you refuse to pay respect to the National Flag? NOT AT ALL you say! Convince us that no “secularist” will find or invent fault, even if none exists. As they have found this time when the “secular” Nehru and Maullana Azad and of-course, the forgotten Hero Neta Ji Subash Chandra Bose settled the issue and the GEET was adopted.
Please do not sing Vande Mataram, by all means, if it hurts your religious feelings. After all it is the religion first for you than the Nation.
But, pause and ponder, are you not suggesting that Islam is such a fragile faith? That it is always in danger by such an innocent and patriotic song and such other things. If this is untrue then what else all this ranting and ravings suggests?
On Sunday I happened to hear what our Honorable minister of state for home affairs Shri. Jai Prakash Jaiswal said about the whole issue, it appeared to me that more than Muslims it is the Congress who is against the Muslims to sing Vande Mataram. Nevertheless, if you still insist that you will not sing. Don’t sing.

What next then?
Jan Gana Man…? After all it too is in the honor of some one else than (*) ALLAH. Why is singing the GAAN not anti Islamic?

Further…
Constitution? Is it not against Shariya? After all you are supposed to be governed by the SHARIYA (Holy laws laid by the Prophet). Therefore believing in MAN WRITTEN/DRAWN laws, are not anti religion of yours????

Next…
The national emblem is taken from Sarnath Pillar of a HINDU Raja, The Ashoka The Great. So will you refuse to recognize it? And of course our national emblem is inscribed with the word “SATYAMEY JAYETA” in Devnagari script. Is this not, too against your religion and faith?

National Bird
Is the PEACOCK not closely associated with the Lord Krishna? Do you accept this beautiful bird as being “secular”? Is it not anti your religion that is “secular” and peace loving?

National Animal
Is the TIGER not recognized with MAA DURGA? Again, Tiger is anti Islam?

Last but not least…
Is it not your religious duty to annihilate all the NON-BELIEVERS (Kafirs)????????????

This all may look trivializing the issue and downrightly STUPID. And so it is.

But, the way and the arguments which are being advanced against the singing of Vande Matram by our “secular” brigade, the day is not far off when all the above will be opposed on one or another ground. Equalley sure I am that the “secular” brigade is so “intelligent” and its “eminent” scholars shall come out with startling facts and theories proving that who believe in all the above are “communal” and the “minority” community should be exempted from all this as “their religious feelings get hurt”.


Dear friends when as a kid my grand parents used to tell me the stories of Pre-Partition cunnings by Muslim League and compromises after compromises made by our great leaders then, I considered them “prejudiced”.


Today I feel sad that I didn’t believe them then. As we all see today, they were right?

Anil Joshi

NCERT-Yogendra Yadav-Another Secular Assault.

I have just finished reading the News that Mr.Yogendra Yadav has been appointed, as the CHIEF Advisor to the NCERT.Task assigned to him is to advise the panel, on contemporary history, responsible for preparing NCERT textbooks.

WOW! I find it extremely interesting.

Please consider his Credentials…
Name
Yogendra Yadav

Address
Television Studios

Occupation
“Emienent”Psephologist

Specializes in
Dissecting India and Indians in to microscopic Communities, sub Communities, Castes, Sub Castes, Sub Sub Castes and so on and on…
Drawing conclusions and presenting figures in such a way that you end up more confused than ever with a sinking feeling that we all are any thing but INDIANS.

Feeds On
Elections and sponsored surveys for and on behalf of influential “Secular, Liberal, Progressive” media houses and political parties.

Interests/Hobbies
Advocating reservation everywhere and anywhere.

USP
Suave, Articualte, Charming and Pleasantly presentable.

Considering that he has been selected to advise the panel by none other than Our Able and Most Secular among the “Secularists” Shri Shri Arjun Singh Sahib’s ministry, His “secular” credentials are more impeccable even if we are not too sure about his Academic credentials.

In this light I find it not so difficult to guess what he is going to write/tell and our young children shall read.

1.Before Gujarat No riots ever took place. It all started when BJP assumed power. We all were living in “communal Peace and Harmony” till these “communal” forces took over and destroyed the “social and secular fabric”.

2.Godhra? What happened there? After all those were Hindus and worst, Ram Bakhts, they committed mass suicide, is as simple as that. See Banerjee report attested by “Secular” Lalu and Left. And if you need any further evidence “Secular media” is around to sermonize you.

3.1984,Sikh massacre were the spontaneous reaction of the Indira' admirers. Congress had no role to play.

4.Emergency! Well this was the most glorious period in Indian History. Remember trains used to run on time. Discpline was maintained in the Govt offices. Schoolteachers dutifully achieved their targets for “nasbandi”. So what if all opposition was jailed or press was gagged or...this all was done to save Indira oops...India.

5.Ayodhya, BJP politics. What right do the Hindus have to claim this place as Lord Ram's birthplace? Do they carry his birth certificate duly attested by Rishi Balmiki? Babar was a Muslim invader thus "secular” Ram was "Communal”. We are "secular" Nation and therefore Hindu, Hindi, Hindustan are the dirty words.

6.All these Bomb Blasts and terrorism are the handiwork of RSS and Bajrangies.They assume Muslim names and carry out these activities to malign Muslims. Islam is a religion of peace after all. So what, if they are at loggerheads with every one and any one, anywhere and everywhere on this planet Earth. If not with others, than among themselves.

7.I shall not be surprised if Hindu Kashmiri Pandits, Operation Blue Star, Creation Of Bhinderwala (Akali-Congress-Politics-Frankestien) Kanpore, Bhagalpur riots do not find any mention. Even if they do, will be conveniently blamed on the RSS.

8.Kandhar surrender was the worst as we released three terrorists as ransom against the lives of some 200 passengers of ill-fated IC814.Did you ask about RUBIHYA SAEED d/o Mufti Md. Saeed episode? So what, then we released terrorists as ransom after all it was a matter of great concern to Mr.Saeed (who also happened to be Home Minister as well) and a “secular” govt was in power. Co…me on, do not kid us, a very small sacrifice at the altar of “secularism”.

Bottom line is WE ARE SECULAR AND WILL DO/TELL/PREACH WHAT EVER WE WANT.

Long lives “Secularism”.

Regards.

Devil's Advocate

Devil’s Advocate
So, ultimately truth is out and the truth, as we all knew right then, when the probe was ordered, is “Congress is Innocent and Natwar Singh is Natwar Lal”.

WOW! What a revelation? We are truly enlightened and overwhelmed? Let us rejoice and celebrate the exoneration of SONIA …oops sorry Congress and demonize Natwar for all he did or did not do. But Wait!
Please answer…
Q1.How is it possible that Sonia is exonerated when congress too is named in the Volcker report?
Q2.How is it possible that Sonia knew nothing about all this? Does even an ant move in congress without her knowledge/permission/consent? Any one who believes, is either an out right stupid or too cleaver by half. Remember, our Honorable law minister had once justified that Sonia has the right to see the Govt.files, as she was the chairperson of UPA, which of course he denied later.
Q3.Why is it that we see the media managers out on the TV and disassociating Sonia from all the stupid acts and controversies each time it breaks out, and this breaks out with such an alarming frequency. Congress and their managers should make up their mind once and for all about the role Sonia plays. No way it is possible for us to believe that Sonia knows every thing and she alone is to be credited with all the good things Govt.does and knows nothing when the Govt.finds itself in mess.
Q4.Natwar is being punished for abusing the office. Now which offices pray tell me? If he is found guilty of this offence than what do you say when “Q” fled away with the money from account defreeze by the govt? With whom was Q closed to (or still is)? Natwar? ManMohan? Or who…? Who is the boss?
Q5.Is it not, a fact that George Fernandez, was targeted at the behest of Madame? He was called “Kafan Chor”, was not allowed to speak and now this govt has been in power for more than 22 months why they could not bring the truth out and prosecute George in coffin gate?

No congress men/women or Baba log has the courage. They all know the answers, yet are afraid to answer. And I do not blame them. BaliDaan Devi is to be protected at any cost. Natwar, rightly so, refused to offer his BaliDaan.This is his sin and refusing to get sacrificed is a punishable crime in congress.

Supporting Natwar is not condoning his guilt/crime/indiscreation. Neither it is to justify the corruption nor abuse of power; issue at hand is the arrogant style of functioning by the Congress whenever they are in power. If they believe, they can do what ever they want when walking on the clutches (out side support), imagine the situation when they are in power on their own. This is what shudders me, or any one who had seen the EMERGENCY. And mind you, most of us still believe that Indira was Great.

Now my humble request to Natwar is…
Sir, you have come this far and you put such a high premium on you’re good honour, deservedly so, no corruption charges in 60 years carrer, come out clean and REDEEM your honor by telling us the truth. May I assure you that we the people of India shall be grateful if and only if we are told the truth? May I add the moment you start telling the truth half of the congress will flee the nation in the middle of night (top too) just as Q did.

Regards.
