Rahul Gandhi, Lack of sense and time

Rahul Gandhi, Lack of sense and time

I could not believe when I first read the news... Rahul Gandhi was partying the next day when Mumbai was attacked. Now people having soft corner for Gandhi's and Congress will not find any objectionable about this or will come up saying how can this be an issue?
Well this is not an issue, the issue is when country is stand still after terrorist attack, how can a public figure behave so irresponsibly?
I manage to find article about this in India Today which says it was "sangeet" of one of close friend's marriage. He was partying hard with his pals on a farmhouse on delhi outskirts.

स्वाभिमानाचे अग्निकुंड पेटलेच पाहिजे

This post was a forward email on one of the yahoo group.

स्वाभिमानाचे अग्निकुंड पेटलेच पाहिजे

आई तुळजाभवानीच्या मूर्तीवर घण बसले,

तेव्हा भाल्याच्या टोकावर अफझलचं मुंडकं

नाचेपर्यंत या महाराष्ट्रात कोणी स्वस्थ बसले नव्हते. संभाजी महाराजांच्या देहाचे तुकडे तुकडे झाले,

तेव्हा घराघरातून तलवार उठली.
औरंग्याला इथेच गाडेपर्यंत शांतता नव्हती.

लालाजींच्या अंगावर यमदूतांच्या लाठया बरसल्या,

तेव्हा इंग्रज साम्राज्याच्या शवपेटीवर खिळे
ठोकणारे कैक मर्द निपजले...

मग आत्ताच का सगळं शांत शांत? आमच्या
श्रध्दास्थानांवर आघात होतात, आणि आम्हालाच सगळे म्हणतात 'शांत रहा, शांत रहा'.

जाहीरपणे आम्हाला बांगडयाच भरायला सांगितले जाते. का?

आम्ही काय नेभळट आहोत का? की आम्ही दूधखुळे आहोत - उगी उगी हं बाळा, तुला नाय कोनी माल्लं, गप गप... असं म्हटलं की आम्ही गप्प! हाताची घडी तोंडावर बोट?

आम्ही जवान आहोत, मर्द आहोत... रक्तात शिवाजी सळसळतो आमच्या, 'शिका, संघटीत व्हा, संघर्ष करा' म्हणणारा भीम सळसळतो! आमच्या हातात भवानी आहे,पण डोळयावर पट्टी आहे. आम्हाला शत्रू कोण, हेच कळत नाही. गनिम कावा साधून
जातो, आणि मग आम्ही मेणबत्त्या घेऊन मूक मोर्चे काढतो. असल्या भेदरट मेणबत्त्यांच्या उजेडात दुष्मन दिसत नाही. त्यासाठी डोक्यात उजेड पडावा लागतो आणि छाती निधडी असावी लागते.

आमच्यात आणखी एक प्रकार आहे. राग आला की, आम्ही शेजार पाजारच्यांना ठोकून काढतो, दंगे करतो. खूप भुई थोपटतो पण साप मरत नाही.

मीडिया काहीही सांगतो, आणि आपण ऐकतो? कोणी म्हणतं इस्लामी अतिरेकी, तर कोणी म्हणतं दहशतवाद्याला धर्म नसतो... सुटका झालेल्या दोन तुर्की
नागरिकांनी सांगितलं, की आम्हाला अतिरेक्यांनी आमचा धर्म विचारला, आम्ही मुसलमान म्हणून आम्हाला सोडले, सोबतच्या तीन आर्मेनियन ख्रिस्ती महिलांना
ठार मारले. पकडलेला अतिरेकी सांगतो की, मी मदरशात शिकलो. आमचे गृहमंत्रालय म्हणते, की उत्तर सीमेवर मदरसे वेगाने वाढतायत... हे सगळं
काय आहे? आम्हाला उत्तरं मिळालीच पाहिजेत.

माझे मुसलमान मित्र-मैत्रिणी आहेत, ते अतिरेकी नाहीत. आमचे लाडके माजी राष्ट्रपती, आमचे गायक,
संगीतकार, खेळाडू, परमवीरचक्र मिळवलेले शहीद सैनिक - हेही मुसलमान आहेत.

पण ते जिहादी नाहीत... मग हा जिहाद काय आहे, मदरसे काय आहेत, या विषवल्लीचं मूळ कुठे आहे? आम्हाला उत्तरं मिळालीच पाहिजेत.

उत्तरं मागण्याचा अधिकार हे लोकशाहीतले पहिले हत्यार आहे. आहे ना खुमखुमी? मग उचला हे हत्यार!

तीस-पस्तीस वर्षांपूर्वी इस्राएलच्या खेळाडूंची ऑलिंपिक मध्ये हत्या झाली होती. पुढच्या दोन वर्षात ही हत्या करणाऱ्या प्रत्येक अतिरेक्याला जगाच्या कानाकोपऱ्यातून शोधून काढून इस्राएलच्या कमांडोंनी ठार मारले.
दुसऱ्या महायुध्दात हजारो ज्यूंची हत्या करणाऱ्या ऍडोल्फ आइकमनला इस्राएलच्या हेरांनी परदेशातून शोधून उचलून आपल्या देशात आणला, त्याच्यावर खटला चालवला, आणि त्याला देहदंड दिला. टीचभर देश आहे इस्राएल.

पण त्यांचा राष्ट्रीय स्वाभिमान जागा आहे. कोण आहेत त्यांचे नेते? आणि मग आमचेच असे कसे?

आम्ही मतदानाच्या दिवशी पिकनिकला जातो, किंवा आमची मतं विकतो, किंवा १८ पूर्ण झाली तर नावच नोंदवत नाही.... मत देताना रस्ते आणि पाणी एवढेच
मुद्दे दिसतात आम्हाला, मग निवडणूक पंचायतीची असो नाही तर लोकसभेची!
लोकशाहीत प्रजेच्या लायकीवर किंवा नालायकीवर राजा ठरतो. आम्हाला स्वाभिमानी निडर नेतृत्त्व हवे असेल, तर जागरूक राहिले पाहिजे.

आत्ताच्या नेत्यांमध्ये सगळेच बुणगे दिसत असतील, तर स्वत:च राजकारणात उतरले पाहिजे.

शांत रहा, शांत रहा... असं कोणीही सांगितलं तरी गप्प बसण्याची वेळ नाही आता. लोकशाहीतली हत्यारं उचलून लढलं पाहिजे. सूडाच्या अग्निकुंडात आपल्या
अभिमानाची आहुती पडली आहे. संसदेवर हल्ला झाला आहे, ताजची राख झाली आहे... इतक्या आहुती देऊनही जर स्वाभिमानाची भवानी जागी होणार नसेल, तर आमचे राष्ट्र नष्टच होणार असेल.

शंभर शिशुपालांचे हजार अपराध भरलेत, जनतेतल्या जनार्दना - उठ!

Raj Thackeray and Mumbai Attacks

What Raj Thackeray was doing during attacks?

This is what Raj Thackeray & his party MNS was doing during attacks:

1. When Congress was putting up banners for martyrs with more space for their office bearers on the banner, Raj Thackeray personally visited Karkare & Salaskar families WITHOUT any show-off
2. Got MNS to donate blood at JJ & GT hospitals (First ones to donate blood while others played political blame game)
3. Provided snacks to police & bystanders at Nariman house during action.
4. Maintained up-to-date list of dead people in CST & other rail stations. This was an important source for relatives (though written in just chalk)

Only 3 political leaders were on the street during attacks:
1. Narendra Modi: Criticized as cheap for visiting Mumbai
2. Raj: Media lied he was hiding then criticized for not visiting.
3. R R Patil: Criticized for saying I kept a Ganesh idol with me during outdoor visits.

One thing I am proud of is, none of MNS people tried to make any political gain out of this. Even I read some where that MNS sponsored ambulance were running around to help who were injured. None of these Hindi Channels deared to approach him and ask what he was doing, just running meaninglessly and shouting where is Raj Thackeraya?
People were screaming on road about him and saying none of the Marathi people were in commandos. Are they forgetting who were first line of defence? How many police officers died in first few hours, who were Marathi and Maharashtrians and were not at all well equipped? That was bravery... knowing they are facing AK47, those brave Police officers threw themselves for Mumbai, Maharashtra and India. No one questioning for whom I am doing this.... That's what we Maharashtrians and Marathi people can do... just think before pointing your fingers recklessly.

Jay Hind, Jay Maharashtra!!!.

(This poem is not written by me....)

ते नक्कीच उशी खाली गन ठेवून शांत झोपले नव्हते.
ते नक्कीच शृंगार रसात बुडालेले नव्हते.
ते नक्कीच सोम रसात बुडालेले नव्हते.
ते नक्कीच भीतीपोटी अद्रेनेलिन च्या प्रभावात निराश झालेले नव्हते.
ते उपर्याँ प्रमाणे गलितगात्र झालेले नव्हते.
ते नक्कीच आंधल्या राजा प्रमाणे कुत्र्याना पीठ खाताना , शांत पणे सहन करत बसलेले नव्हते.
रस्त्यावर उतरून ज्या मोजक्या नेत्यांनी सगळे अनुभवले, त्यात ते नक्कीच होते.

Interesting article about Hindu terrorism

Interesting Article: by Famous French Correspondent Francois Gautier

"When the Mahatma's cowards erupt in fury, it hurts. It isn't terror"

Is there such a thing as 'Hindu terrorism', as the arrest of Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur for the recent Malegaon blasts may tend to prove?

Well, I guess I was asked to write this column because Iam one of that rare breed of foreign correspondents - a lover of theHindus! A born Frenchman, Catholic-educated and non-Hindu, I do hope I'll be given some credit for my opinions, which are not the product of my parents' ideas, my education or my atavism, but garnered from 25 years of reporting in South Asia (for *Le Journal de Geneve* and *Le Figaro*).

In the early 1980s, when I started freelancing in South India , doing photo features on kalaripayattu, the Ayyappa festival, or the Ayyanars, I slowly realised that the genius of this country lies inits Hindu ethos, in the true spirituality behind Hinduism.

The average Hindu you meet in a million villages possesses this simple, innate spirituality and accepts your diversity, whether you are Christian or Muslim, Jain or Arab, French or Chinese. It is this Hinduness that makes the Indian Christian different from, say, a French Christian, or the Indian Muslim unlike a Saudi Muslim. I also learnt that Hindus not only believed that the divine could manifest itself at different times, under different names, using different scriptures (not to mention the wonderful avatar concept, the perfect answer to 21st century religious strife) but that they had also given refuge to persecuted minorities from across the world - Syrian Christians, Parsis, Jews, Armenians, and today, Tibetans. In 3,500 years of existence, Hindus have never militarily invaded another country, never tried to impose their religion on others by force, or induced conversions.

You cannot find anybody less fundamentalist than a Hindu in the world and it saddens me when I see the Indian and western press equating terrorist groups like SIMI, which blow up innocent civilians, with ordinary, angry Hindus who burn churches without killing anybody. We know also that most of these communal incidents often involve persons from the same groups - often Dalits and tribals - some of whom have converted to Christianity and others not.

However reprehensible the destruction of Babri Masjid, no Muslim was killed in the process; compare this to the 'vengeance' bombings of 1993 in Mumbai, which wiped out hundreds of innocents, mostly Hindus. Yet the Babri Masjid destruction is often described by journalists as the more horrible act of the two.

I have never been politically correct, but have always written what I have discovered while reporting. Let me then be straightforward about this so-called Hindu terror. Hindus, since the first Arab invasions, have been at the receiving end of terrorism, whether it was by Timur, who killed 1,00,000 Hindus in a single day in 1399, or by the Portuguese Inquisition which crucified Brahmins in Goa . Today, Hindus are still being targeted: there were one million Hindus in the Kashmir valley in 1900; only a few hundred remain, the rest having fled in terror. Blasts after blasts have killed hundreds of innocent Hindus all over India in the last four years. Hindus, the overwhelming majority community of this country, are being made fun of, are despised, are deprived of the most basic facilities for one of their most sacred pilgrimages in Amarnath while their government heavily sponsors the Haj. They see their brothers and sisters converted to Christianity through inducements and financial traps, see a harmless 84-year-old swami and a sadhvi brutally murdered. Their gods are blasphemed.

So sometimes, enough is enough. At some point, after years or even

centuries of submitting like sheep to slaughter, Hindus - whom the Mahatma once gently called cowards - erupt in uncontrolled fury. Andit hurts Mangalore, and Malegaon . It may happen again elsewhere.

What should be understood is that this is a spontaneous revolution on the ground, by ordinary Hindus, without any planning from the politicalleadership. Therefore, the BJP, instead of acting embarrassed, shouldnot disown those who choose other means to let their anguished voices be heard.

There are about a billion Hindus, one in every six persons on this planet. They form one of the most successful, law-abiding and integrated communities in the world today. Can you call them terrorists?

A Declaration By the

Ex-MUSLIMS



Who we are:

We are ex-Muslims. Some of us were born and raised in Islam and some of us had converted to Islam at some moment in our lives. We were taught never to question the truth of Islam and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith. We were told that Allah would forgive all sins but the sin of disbelief (Quran 4:48 and 4:116). But we committed the ultimate sin of thinking and questioned the belief that was imposed on us and we came to realize that far from being a religion of truth, Islam is a hoax, it is hallucination of a sick mind and nothing but lies and deceits.



What we believe:

Some of us have embraced other religions but most of us have simply left Islam without believing in any other religion. We believe in humanity. We believe that humans do not need to follow a religion to be good. All we need to follow is the Golden Rule. All we have to do is to treat others the way we expect to be treated. This is the essence of all the goodness. All good religious teachings stem from this eternal principle. This is the ultimate guidance humanity need. This is the Golden Rule.



Why Mohammed was not a prophet:

One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their “right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50) He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way. Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.



Why Quran is not from God:

Muhammad produced no miracles and when pressed he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. Yet a cursory look at the Quran reveals that this book is full of errors. Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself. There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a “Surah like it” or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty.



What is our goal?

We are apostates of Islam. We denounce Islam as a false doctrine of hate and terror. However we are not against Muslims who are our own kin and relatives. We do not advocate hate and violence. Muslims are the main victims of Islam. Our goal is to educate them and let them see the truth. We are against Islam and not the Muslims. We strive to bring the Muslims into the fold of humanity. Eradicate Islam so our people can be liberated, so they can prosper and break away from the pillory of Islam. We would like to see Islamic countries dedicate more time to science and less time to Quran and Sharia. We would like to see them prosper and contribute to human civilization. We would like to see the draconian laws of Islam eliminated and people are treated humanely. We strive for freedom of beliefs, for equality of gender and for oneness of mankind.



Mankind’s biggest challenge:

Today the humanity is facing a great danger. Islamic fundamentalism is on the rise and the hatred is brewing in the minds of millions of Muslims. This hatred must be contained or there would be disastrous consequences. We believe that the education is the only answer. Muslim intellectuals must realize that Islam is a false doctrine and they must let the rest of Islamic world know the truth. Islam is a religion that thrives on the arrogant assumption that it is the most logical, the most scientific and the most perfect religion. While the fact is that it is the stupidest doctrine — the most backward and absurd belief. Once the truth about Islam becomes common knowledge, it will be weakened and the Islamic fanaticism will lose its fangs. Hundreds of billions of dollars are being expended to combat Islamic terrorism, yet no effort is made to contain the ideology behind this terrorism. It is our belief that Islamic terrorism will not be eliminated unless and until the ideology behind it is exposed and eradicated. This is what we intend to do.

Truth about Sonia Gandhi

Truth about Sonia Gandhi

If you want to get information about anything, it is really possible to go and get it. The world is no longer remained what it was decades ago. Information is available at click of button. Now you can view information on internet anytime anywhere. Since I initiated email on Nehru and Gandhi on one of the yahoo group, I got more information which is quite relative to us, to all Indians. I am sure there is alot truth behind this and if someone goes out with this.... It will not be possible for Congress and there supporters to face it. Few things from the passage which I read here.

Current information about Sonia, which is relevant for us.

• Sonia has lied about her name (original is Antonia by birth certificate), lied about her birth place (Orbassano as she claims but Luciana as in her birth certificate)
• She has not studied beyond High school and as she has stated in her sworn affidavit, she does not hold diploma in English.
• When she was in UK, she met Rajiv when he first came in restaurant in 1965, where she was working
  
• When Rajiv could not cope up to studies and moved to London she as well moved there
• She got a job with an outfit run by Salman Thassir, a debonair Pakistani based in Lahore, and who has a export-import company headquartered in Dubai
• She made enough money in this job and loaned to Rajiv for his expenses
• Apart from Rajiv she was close friend of Madhavrao Scindia
• Madhavrao Scindia died in mysterious circumstances in an as yet uninvestigated aircrash of his private plane in the year 2001. Mani Shankar Aiyar and Shiela Dikshit were to be on that flight too, but were asked to stay behind at the last moment.
• Well this is not the only incidence of someone close to Sonia diying miraculously
• Indira Gandhi when were shot by her body guard, she did not died immediately because of injuries but died due to heavy bleeding
• It was Sonia who insisted that the bleeding Indira be driven to Lohia Hospital-- in the opposite direction to AIIMS, after reaching there she changed her mind and asked everyone to drive back to AIIMS, loosing 24 precious minutes
• She even has links to Rajiv's assassination with LTTE, there are many twists in this story but some details can be found on link given up
  
• She is involved in suggling of Hindu gods and goddesses, antiques, pichwai paintings, shatoosh shawls, coins with the help of Mr Arjun Singh out of India to Italy to her sister' shop
• She is even connected to arms dealing to LTTE, Habash group of Palestinians [PFLP]
• She had close connections with KGB and that must have lead her getting married with Rajiv and even getting her entry in India.

Certainly there is alot more. I will be trying to read more and getting it on board here. But I am afraid now, on the background of Mumbai attack, who is actually leading us all these years from behind the curtains?
