Karan Thapar’s breakthrough: Law of Assumption

While Newton may have given the world the fundamental laws of motion, Karan “Sudden removal of Modi” Thapar is finally on his way to codifying the laws of the anti-national pseudo-liberal English media. In an interview with Arun Shourie, self appointed Congress party/Gandhi family  spokeperson Thapar gave the world the “Law of Assumption”.  Based purely on this law, Karan Thapar makes the startling claim that the bulk of Indians money in Swiss banks is actually legal. The fundamental basis of the “law of assumption” is that the BJP is always wrong and the pseudosecular intelligentsia is free to cook up arguments based on whimsical notions which are mostly in lockstep with the Congress party/Gandhi family’s ideals. While all available indicators point towards Indians being among the largest hoarders of illegal money, Karan Thapar seems quite amazed that this may be actually true.

Manmohan Singh – what he actually said and what he really meant

Said: “We have not been successful in warding off terror”

Meant: “It is impossible to do this without upsetting our electoral calculations and hurting our muslim votebanks”

Said: “Terrorists could attempt to destabilise the electoral process”

Meant:”Its all finally left to chance, we can do only so much and will only do so little.”

Said:”Though we have made every effort to deal with it, we have to do more to strengthen intellligence, state police system and also our ability to minimise the fallout of terror sttacks”.

Meant:”Lets learn to be tolerant of terror, lets take cosmetic measures which make it seem like we are doing something about it, we do not want to piss off our votebanks by taking strong measures which address the real root causes”.

Said:”The US could take draconan measures to ensure no terror attacks after 9/11 which we cannot. We are a country of 1 billion people”

Meant:”We do not want to be seen as being rude to terrrorists, do we? We also have a 200 million muslim segment to constantly appease”

Said:”Taliban is a threat, dialogue with Pakistan is important”

Meant:”I agree with the Pakistani leaders, Pakistan itself is a victim of terror, as I had said before in Cuba. It is India’s duty to make sure that Pakistan becomes strong enough so that they can refocus their energy on cleaning out the remaining few Pandits in Kashmir.”

Said:”Dreaded terrorists were released and taken to Kandahar by NDA leaders, we did not negotiate with the Mumbai terrorists, we sent our trained commandos instead”.

Meant:”Lets forget that to begin with, our home minister changed his clothes thrice before our commandos could get into action. Lets also forget that despite a dozen attacks prior to that, we were ill prepared to handle any terror related emergencies”

Said:”Due to our diplomatic initiative, Pakistan for the first time admitted that its territory was being used to provoke terror against India”

Meant:”Lets forget that under severe NDA pressure, Musharraf went on national Pakistan National Television and swore to not allowing Pakistani territory being used as a launchpad for terror against India”.

Said:”I have great regard for the Left leaders”

Meant:”After all I shared their communist command-control ideology for the most of my career, including as chairman of the Planning Commission and RBI governor. Both the Congress and the Communists are in perfect synergy in their belief  that Muslims are a votebank that needs careful nurturing. Nevermind that occasionally we let them be butchered like in Nandigram. Both  us in the Congress and the left also strongly oppose nasty things which respectable societies possess like say a Uniform Civil Code. Also the Congress and the left firmly believe that Muslims have the first right over national resources. We both agree that the biggest enemy of the country are the communal Hindus. With all this synergy we are but natural bed fellows, we may sleep with others when needed but those are ignorable details”

Said:”The Indo-US nuclear deal was my biggest achievement. We negotiated with the US  for three years and if it did not get signed after that it would have been bad for India’s reputation. I staked my reputation for India’s honor”

Meant: “Throwing gunny bags of cash at legislators and buying their support needed a lot of skill.  It was a watershed moment which actually marked my coming out as a seasoned politician. It helped me break away from the image of simply being Sonia’s water bearer.  Also as I have said before when I was at Cambridge University, India is currently what it is only because we were civilized by the whites, and consequently its also India’s rightful place to be a pliant satellite of the west, so what if our hard built nuclear sovereignty has been signed away. You see my ability and very reputation to faithfully serve the west was at stake, and so once negotiations started it was only imperative that it be hurriedly signed in whatever form it was before my term ended, never mind that the deal was loaded against the Indians. Also minor things like say that the terms of the deal had significantly deviated from what GW Bush had promised at the outset of the deal matter very little.”

Said:”I am not contesting polls because of my heart surgery”

Meant:”Why bother about minor details like seeking the peoples mandate when there is an assured way of weaselling my way in as a Rajya Sabha member? This is an assured time tested way as the party’s nominee as chief-clerk and will ensure that our plans not be hindered by unplanned events like an election loss”.

Rape and abuse of nuns by Indian Church: Pink Chaddis missing

Rape and abuse of nuns in Indian churches is rampant although again simply ignored by the media which is obsessed with policing seeming excesses by the Hindu right. While the gory story of  paedophilia in the western and american church is well documented and received worldwide attention, the pusillanimous Indian state/media/intelligentsia which showers the so called minorities in India with largesse at the cost of the Hindus, refuses to make public the horror stories of the Church in India.

This Church is a Cruel Joke
George Augustine
08 Apr 2009

The rotting ills of the Catholic Church have been evident in India for a long time, attracting nation-wide attention in the mid-1960s with Kerala’s infamous Madatharuvi murder case, when a Catholic priest, accused of murdering a woman, escaped the noose with the aid of an expensive, flamboyant lawyer imported from Delhi.

In those days, much like today, nobody cared, nor had the time, to listen to the woes of the women slaves (called nuns) of the most autocratic, misogynistic and scandalous organisation in the world. The devious polity of modern India put a blanket on the rightful debate on alien and criminal religious practices, and their ethical and moral effect on the indigenous people and society.

Numerous unreported suicides

There are no available figures on the number of suicides of nuns till now, but the writer personally knows of a number of suicides of nuns in Kerala that never got reported in the press. Only those cases in which the victims had some relative to question the unnatural death ever got into the newspapers. Otherwise there were just obituaries.

Sr. Abhaya’s case would have been written off as suicide, as many murders of nuns have been dismissed, but for her cousin, Jomon Puthenpurakal, who himself came close to becoming a victim. On 11 August 2008, Sr. Anupa Mary committed suicide in St. Mary’s Convent, Kollam, leaving a suicide note that accused a senior nun in the convent of sexual harassment.

A few days later, two girl inmates of an orphanage run by the Holy Cross Order in which Sr. Anupa was ordained, tried to commit suicide and later accused an apprentice priest Benedict of harassment. On 11 February 2009, Sr. Josephine who lived in the Daughters of Mary Convent in Thiruvananthapuram, committed suicide. Harassment was alleged initially, but that too went up in smoke. None of these cases deserved investigation because the accused is the Catholic Church, one of the few untouchable organisations in modern Indian polity.

The sexual abuse of nuns by Catholic priests is no rare news and not restricted to Kerala. It is as common and virulent worldwide as Catholic paedophilia. In a report, quoted in the Catholic National Reporter in the USA in the 1990s, Sister Maura O’Donohue, a medical doctor, said the sexual abuse of nuns by priests had been documented in 23 countries. The detailed report would inspire only fantasy porno writers, for such is the ingenuity exercised by the sworn, supposedly ascetic, clergymen to satiate their perverted sexual urges with their helpless women slaves and wives of men congregating in the churches.

Would you blame the hormone-driven human beneath the cassock, or the irrational, sexually aberrant Catholic Church, which is polluting the entire world with its perversions? No wonder, the head of the Church, Ratzinger alias Benedict, the present Pope, is blaming condoms for HIV/AIDS!

Suicide is not the solution

However, the tide seems to turning back; the slaves are garnering strength and slowly beginning to escape the holes and caves where they are psychologically and physically imprisoned. They are beginning to understand that suicides are not the right solution. Ex-sister Jesme’s autobiography, “Amen”, published by DC Books, is a revelation of the sexual exploitation of the vulnerable women in the possession of the Catholic Church.

The publication of this book came close on the heels of an allegation by a nun in her 60s, from the Congregation of Daughters of Mary Convent in Anchal, accusing the Church of forced abortions of young nuns in the convent. According to her nephew, the nun is still being kept in a Church-owned mental hospital near Thodupuzha. Some nuns in Njarakal near Kochi openly rebelled against the Church in February 2009 for trying to move them forcibly from the convent where they have been living for years.

Acting on complaints received by it, the Kerala State Women’s Commission submitted a recommendation to the government last year to stipulate the minimum age for joining nunnery at 18 years. The Church raised a furore, typically making a mockery of the Commission, and the government back-pedalled without further notice, probably due to the imminent national elections.

The Women’s Commission also could not act with any direction on the complaint of the nun (from the Daughters of Mary Convent in Anchal) forced into the mental asylum, even though its Chairperson had gone to meet her. There seems to be nothing the Kerala citizens can do, because these nuns are the possession of the richest private organisation in India and the world.

What does the Kerala Catholic laity say about the hardships of nuns? Nothing! They keep mum, so that they are blessed and buried in the right hole in the cemetery when they die! A brief survey conducted by this writer in Kerala among the Catholic community in Kochi showed that about 80% believe they will go to hell if they are not buried by weirdoes. All are worried about what their neighbours talk and leave everything, including dispensation of justice, to god. A small percentage believes that accusations against clergymen and Church are the workings of Satan.

Straight from whose heart?

Whitewashing the accumulating dirt in the house has become an increasingly regular, but difficult, task for the Catholic Church. This time the attempt was quick, but not very effective. The stains show miserably. Kerala’s grand old extremist, who two years ago exhorted the Kerala Catholic laity to reproduce like rats to combat the rising Muslim population, and who is now President of the Catholic Bishops Conference of India, released a book, “Straight from the Heart”.

“Straight from the Vatican’s Heart” would have been more appropriate for its content. The 82-year-old Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil rues over the state of Catholic nuns and says they are compelled to do menial jobs for priests, but keeps mum on sexual exploitation. According to The Times of India, 17 March 2009, he writes, “I would say to a great extent our nuns are not emancipated women. They are often kept under submission by the fear of revenge by priests. That’s how the priests get away with whatever humiliation they heap upon them. It is a pitiable situation from which somebody has to liberate them.”

In an autocracy, in which he is a senior and top regional official, what has he done so far to reverse this situation? He also doesn’t mention that Kerala Church is an exporter of menial female labour for European convents and Church institutions, and that their pay packets are entirely confiscated by the Church.

It is very clear that Vithayathil’s mention of the pathetic nuns in his book is a last-minute knee-jerk response to Jesme’s “Amen”, hurriedly appended to a finished book intended for something else – to meddle in electoral politics to garner votes for UDF candidates.

The Church’s open call to vote against the Marxists is especially aimed at subverting secular reforms, which are very much needed in the state. It is evinced by the Cardinal’s tirade against the recommendations of the Kerala Law Reforms Commission, which advocated hundred percent secular reforms in religious institutions.

Indigestible reforms

One recommendation, which is a particularly indigestible bit of meat in the Catholic stomach, pertains to the handover of Church properties to Christian trusts consisting of ordinary lay people. In a press statement (17 March 2009), the Chairman of the Commission, V.R. Krishna Iyer, said this recommendation was based on “representations made by sincere Christians” and that leading thinkers like Justice K.T. Thomas and Dr. K.V. Pylee, former Vice Chancellor of Cochin University, fully supported the Commission’s recommendations.

The bills, if made into laws, will take away Vatican’s control over Church properties in Kerala and discourage Catholics from mindless reproduction. “Canonical papal control over Church properties in Kerala will be a new imperialism repugnant to the secular character and sovereign authority of ‘we the people of India’,” said Mr. Iyer, while asking the Church to withdraw a pastoral letter circulating in churches and chapels all over Kerala that trashed the Commission’s recommendations. Mr. Iyer added, “The vast properties of the Church in the State were the product of parishioners’ contributions and naturally the management of the estate must have democratic dimensions giving a voice to the Christian parishioners.”

Vithayathil’s book takes Catholic hypocrisy to a pinnacle. He literally grinds his teeth when speaking of Marxists, whom he refers to as “atheists,” and loses control over logic: “Where is the logic of democracy if they are convinced atheists? …Democracy is based on respect for the individual and the rule ‘of the people, by the people, for the people.’”

The Catholic Church is the most undemocratic organisation in India or elsewhere, but Vithayathil is following the footsteps of his chief Ratzinger, who invariably combines insipid erudition with stupid logic, a kind of language to fool his dim half-wit sheep. But the Cardinal has a good word for the BJP for their – guess what – “promoting certain moral values for which they would opt for stricter media censorship.” He tries to woo Hindus in the traditional Christian esoteric language that can be deciphered only by those who have seen the proverbial “underbelly of the beast.”

He writes tongue-in-cheek, “Catholics of the country also regard Indian culture, philosophy, literature and science as their heritage. The Catholic Church will certainly protect them just as it has responsibly protected and preserved Greek and Roman cultures.”

What these words mean is that Catholics have a claim on Indian tradition and will protect it in Vatican-franchised museums, just like they had reduced (“protected and preserved”) ancient Greek and Roman cultures. In reality, it was the Arabs who redeemed the leftovers of the Greek and Roman traditions from the obnoxious padres who did their best to destroy them. Are there still takers for this grotesque faith?

Media reaction – Mangalore vs Kolkata

I remember that the Kolkata incident where Muslims held the editor of The Statesman hostage, played out at the same time as the Mangalore pub incident. I personally got wind of it because I receive regular updates from “The unregulated media” (as Burka Dutt puts it). It received near zero coverage in the English media, but for a column  called “Stand up to the Mullahs” by Vir Sanghvi. Vir incidentally seems to have a once a year epiphany about the dual standards applied by the pseudo-liberals as far as Hindu sensibilities are concerned.

The Kolkata  incident was completely ignored by the otherwise hyper vigilant media/intelligentsia/pink chaddis, who are notorious for policing BJP ruled states. One can see why political parties behave the way they do however ludicrous it may be. However why does a seemingly independent media behave so, unless it is actually merely a mouthpiece of a particular government ideology?

Read the below piece by Sankrant Sanu about this.

Standing up against Muslim and Hindu zealots

http://www.chowk.com/articles/mangalore-vs-kolkata-sankrant-sanu.htm

Is government, media and even civil society in India intimidated by Islamic religious zealots?

Religious zealots abused women sitting in a pub in Mangalore in Karnataka, India. Zealots from another religion violently protested against the publication of an article in the Statesman in West Bengal.

While the government in Karnataka proceeded to arrest the religious extremists in Mangalore, the government in West Bengal succumbed to their variants in Kolkata, arresting the editor instead. The first incident received widespread media-coverage and editorial condemnation and while the second, in comparison, was largely papered over. What lies at the heart of this difference in approach?

‘The Statesman’ in Kolkata reproduced an article titled ‘Why should I respect these oppressive religions’ written by Johann Hari that was first published in the Independent London. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-why-sh ould-i-respect-these-oppressive-religions-1517789.html . The article recommended that the right of free expression should not be curtailed by religious zealotry. It ended with promoting membership of the National Secular Society in UK for fighting for secularism and freedom of speech.

As a result of the article, a Muslim group of 4,000 people protested outside The Statesman’s office and demanded arrest of the Editor and Publisher. Some violence broke out. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) led government of West Bengal could not resist the pressure. The Editor and Publisher of The Statesman were arrested for publishing the article.

There are some interesting parallels and contrasts between this incident and what happened in Mangalore. A few weeks ago, a Hindu group beat-up some women in Mangalore who were visiting a pub. Civil society was outraged and the Karnataka government took swift action, arresting the perpetrators and standing up for civil liberty.

Both these cases are fundamentally about free expression and speech. In Mangalore the issue was of the freedom for women to visit pubs without intimidation by religious zealots. In Kolkata the issue was the right of a newspaper editor to publish a reasoned academic critique of religious fundamentalism (and a defense of free speech) without intimidation by a different set of religious zealots.

The issue is not about the relative merits of defending visits to pubs versus the right to a reasoned academic discussion and debate in a free democratic society. Far more interesting is the response of the Indian establishment, media and civil society.

1. While in both cases, a private group of religious zealots wanted to curtail free expression, in Karnataka the BJP-led government sided with free expression by arresting the Hindu religious zealots. In West Bengal, the communist-led government sided with the Muslim religious zealots by arresting Ravindra Kumar and Anand Sinha, the editor and publisher of the Kolkata-based English daily The Statesman.

2. While the violence by the religious zealots of the self-styled “Shri Ram Sena” received huge media coverage and condemnation by the national and coverage by international media the larger violence by a bigger mob of religious zealots in Kolkata received hardly any coverage in relative terms. A preliminary analysis shows that the Mangalore incident received about hundred times the media coverage of the incident in Kolkata.

3. While it was heartening to see civil society rally around in large numbers against the acts of a small group of private Hindu vigilantes in Mangalore—including starting a Facebook group which garnered over 50,000 members , the state did take quick action against the vigilantes; on the other hand, the draconian actions of the state itself against free expression in Kolkata—a case which really requires civil society to be more vigilant—hardly evoked a response. Even more surprising is the apathy of the Indian media to rally to the defense of the editor of the Statesman–one of their kind. The Indian media downplayed the incidence, and with the notable exception of Vir Sanghvi of the Hindustan Times, there were few editorial condemnations.

The Mangalore pub violence and that of the mob in Kolkata are both outrageous strikes against civil liberty. However if our goal is primarily civil liberty rather than the advocacy of particular political or religious agendas, it behooves us to understand the mechanics of this differential response by the state, media and civil society. In order to do so, here are some preliminary questions.

1. Is an attack of freedom of expression of a newspaper editor less significant than that of a woman going to a pub?

2. How much of the frenzy about the Mangalore pub incident media-orchestrated? Why would the media choose to orchestrate it?

3. Does the Indian media, on the average, have a political or religious bias? Is this bias institutionalized or decentralized? Where does this stem from?

4. Vir Sanghvi, in his article on this topic writes: “It is now clear that the liberal society has been suckered into relaxing its standards for free speech by militant Islamists.” Is this true? What are the consequences of this?

5. Is the response by the state in Kolkata due to “political compulsions”? Why is the communist government of West Bengal under political compulsion from Islamic zealots while the BJP-ruled state of Karnataka not under similar political compulsion from Hindu zealots?

6. It is interesting to note that Johann Hari, who wrote the original article in The Independent, is known for his advocacy of secularism. Yet few Indian secularists stood up for him. Has Indian secularism essentially turned into apologia for Islamic religious zealotry? What will this mean in terms of long-term consequences for Indian civil society?

Hindu girl forced to marry Muslim rapist: Pink Chaddis missing

The pseudo-liberal, obnoxious, obscene pink chaddy sluts hide in their stinkin moth eaten chaddy closets when a muslim rapes a Hindu girl and the girl is subsequently forced by societal pressure to marry the rapist pig.

All ye, ‘forward, proudly loose women’ where are thee when truly innocent victims cry out for help? Or is your anger reserved for the toothless Muthaliks who you know are all bark and no bite? The prospect of  a beardy coming after you a little too scary eh?

Barkha Dutt reveals iron fist…threatens to sue blogger

The Congress party and the media are a fascist combo in India. Both dislike dissent and debate, and quell it with brutal force if needed…some liberals these. But apparently the internet has opened up an “unregulated” (read through on what “regulated” means in Barkha’s world) alternate source of opinion that makes the media-Congress complex squirm. So good old fashioned Stalinism is the order of the day.

A lone blogger questions Barkha Dutt/NDTV’s shrill coverage of 26/11 and gets threatened to be sued and subsequently apologizes. Supposedly Barkha has actually had a program called “Should Blogs be regulated“.  “Regulated” by the likes of Barkha simply means the convenient squelching of  debate. What they would really like is for the general public to digest their often  illogical, nonsensical and downright dangerous views unquestioningly. Too bad, the internet has changed all that…at least so long as India does not follow the Chinese model of freedom of expression or lack thereof, which may happen soon looking at whats going on currently.

Here’s another. Raju Narisetti former editor of the Mint was forced out for publishing an article critical of the UPA govt. Luckily for those who care for free speech, Raju stood by his statement resolutely and went on to become managing editor of the Washington Post.

During the 1977 emergency, the media was the first victim. If there is an emergency again (which I think is a strong possibility if the Congies lose the elections this time), the GOI will this time around order the opening of new media outlets like NehruDynastyTVwhich can do the propaganda on its behalf as it currently does. This is the same media of the Karan “Sudden Removal of Modi” Thapar fame….so no surprises there. This is the same media where a Vir Sanghvi openly advocates the secession of Kashmir and a Shekhar Gupta assures the Paki govt while visiting Pakistan, that the media will take care of the BJP in India. Wonder why the Hindus stand by and watch cluelessly when their sensibilities are brazenly assaulted day in and day out, by the treasonous likes of the English Media in India. But then organization has never been a strong point of the Hindus, so they simply get what they deserve.

Time magazine blames India/Hindus for Mumbai massacre

According to Time magazine, the massacre of Indians in Mumbai is because of muslim insecurity. India’s Muslims in Crisis says that Islamic terrorism in India has its roots in the first war of Indian independence in 1857 when Islamic rule in India was dismantled. Some 800 million Hindus are an inconvenient presence and are to blame for not allowing glorious Islamic rule to unite India, Pakistan and Bangladesh as one whole. So one solution for ending Islamic terror is to bend and submit to it. Dead or converted Hindus are a possible answer to solve the problem of Islamic rage as per Time magazine. Inability of muslims to get along, progress and prosper in a pluralistic society is simply because Hindus have an ability to prosper under the most trying circumstances, and clawed themselves out of the hole even under brutal British rule.

So according to the west, when it gets mauled by muslim terrorists, jihad and brainwashing by the Quran are to blame. However when Hindus get slaughtered, they simply were asking for it.

Its now known that two of the terrorists were Britons of Paki descent. Have they somehow magically been infected with the insecurity of Indian muslims too and came to fight on their behalf? Or perhaps more likely, Britain/the West has not done enough for their Muslim population?

These kind of west centric views which peer down at India condescendingly (originally started by JN Nehru) are first propagated by the Indian “elite” chatterati like Karan Thapar, Shekhar Gupta, Shabana Azmi, Vir Sanghvi. They are the views of servile nominal Hindus who thrive on back pats from the west. The west then has its matter ready (and already approved by “Hindus” like Pankaj Mishra, Suzanne Arundhati Roy, Barkha Dutt, Karan Thapar themselves) and publishes it without an iota of objectivity and research.

Hindus who look to the west for relief from Islam/terrorism better realize this much… We are all alone in this fight and will be deceiving ourselves if we expect the slightest iota of help from whitemen. To the islamic/Western/White world, Hindus are at the bottom of the pecking order. The west is largely responsible to keep the Islamic barbarians perpetually knocking at the gates of the pagan Hindu kafirs next door, lest it turn its rage to western infidels as is now happening starting with 9/11. India still remains a big failure, an unfinished enterprise both for the west and Islam.

Nuke deal swindles Indian nation

Interesting times these. The american congress passed the nuke deal (must be a darn good deal for the yanks to pass up on this one then) in the midst of seemingly far more serious issues. Or perhaps they realized that part of the $700 billion needed to supposedly rescue the american economy, (estimates say around $150 bill could be the cost borne by India for importing american reactors) could come from selling obscenely expensive, mostly obsolete n-tech to India. If the Indians had even the slightest clue of statecraft, the vulnerable americans who will be desperate for any business for their huge arms industry in the coming years as their economy contracts, could have been pushed to give large political concessions without any strings attached, given the huge amount of arms, aircraft etc that India purchases from them. Instead the Indians have chosen to be subservient to them precisely when they are going to be increasingly weak.

Nicholas Burns the chief negotiator from the american side for the deal plainly said that ““No aspect of this deal recognises India as a nuclear weapons state.” As per Burns, the deal is the first step for Indian dismarmament. He and american officials while urging Congress to pass this “landmark” deal believe that 90% of Indian reactors would be under IAEA safeguards within a generationWhile there are far, far more serious issues the country has to deal with, the Manmohan-Sonia combo interestingly decide to stake their govt’s very existence, quite magically, precisely on an issue which would actively involve foreign players and which seriously impinges on Indian defence preparedness.

Quite puzzling is this obsession with “solving” Indian power needs by precisely using that source of technology which strangely coincidentally, would invite intrusive inspections and also give enormous leverage to an assorted variety of countries belonging to the NSG cartel. Remember that the NSG itself was created as a result of Pokharan-1, and they have now seemingly magically cozied upto their former nemesis — India. Must be the irresistible Manmohan magic. Also interestingly, Australia which is a central part of this cartel, with huge Uranium supplies, does not have a single reactor itself.

Just as the americans have succesfully played the bait and switch policy to the hilt, the drumbeaters for the deal in the Indian media, have no qualms about constantly changing their rationale for the deal. Karan Thapar (in an interview with Arun Shourie, read at http://arunshourie.wordpress.com), when pointed out that the NSG provided no assurances for fuel supply, went to the extent of saying that America and the 123 agreement itself were irrelevant for the deal and we could instead deal with the French and Russians! So what about the part that these same guys have been dishing out, that its time that India and the US engaged like “friends”? Small details like the deal’s name actually being “Indo-US” nuclear deal do not seem to matter for Sonia’s water bearers like Thapar! These same guys used to previously spin that the Hyde act was irrelevant and its the 123 agreement that mattered!  Incidentally, american president Bush recently told Congress that the 123 agreement was not legally binding as far as assured fuel supply to India was concerned thus confirming Shourie’s observations. K Subrahmanyan another “defence analyst” who has supported the deal from the start recently posited that India’s place firmly belonged in the NPT in the future. Remember that one of the main preambles of the NPT is disarmament. In fact all signs seeem to indicate that the Congress seems to be returning to chacha Nehru’s famed idea that “we didn’t need an army as we were a peaceful country”. Manmohan himself had strongly criticized Pokharan-2 and severely cut spending on nuclear preparedness as finance minister.

What this deal really is about, is that the Congress party which simply lacks the wherewithal to stand on the strength of performance, would like to ensure that there are other powerful outside forces on its side should it ever need a stout stick to beat the BJP with, should the BJP come to power and be seen as misbehaving by Congress standards.

Historically the Congress is a party that has been at ease with having outside forces having a significant say in India’s internal matters. This deal is going to come to haunt us repeatedly in the future quite like Nehru’s inviting the UN to decide the J&K issue has.

Ted Rall typifies the average ignorant american

Ted Rall indulged in an ugly parody of Hinduism in this cartoon “If Huckabee was a Hindu fundamentalist”.

A suggestion to Rall is to parody the church’s central role in slave trading, massacre of pagans worldwide, burning women at the stake and its pedophilic priests running after little boys. Or to parody Islams role in the umpteen holocausts it is responsible for worldwide, its trashy treatment of women or its philandering, epileptic prophet.

But surely Ted reserves his humor only for the politically weak Hindus as he might get his ass skinned by the other groups.

Ted is representative of the ignorant average american when it comes to matters concerning Hinduism. The average american mind is thus able to rationalize the need for Islamic jihad while finding totally disgusting and unfathomable, something as harmless and simple (simple to the evolved that is) as reverence for a productive animal like the cow.

Pray that the Christ fundamentalist two bit preacher Huckabee does not come to power as if he does, it will mean that the Christ cultists namely the Christians of the US particularly the Adventists and the Baptists will go into soul harvesting overdrive in their happiest hunting ground — India. This would also provide a great boost to the deadly Naxalite movement which kills a couple of thousand people every year. The Naxalite movement draws its main funding and sustenance from the Church. Little do those who belong to the Christian cult realize the violence their fellow travelers are capable of quite similar to the Islamic jihadis. The Christ cultists however manage their image better than the Islamic jihadis. Read the following report on the Church-Naxalite nexus in Orissa.

Facts on “Clashes among Christian Missionaries and Tribals in Kandhamal District of Orissa”
————————————————————————————————————–

Reports of communal violence involving the converted Christians led by the Missionaries on one hand and the Tribals on the other, in Kandhamal District of Orissa by the media since 25 th December 2007 are vastly distorted and motivated which in public interest need be clarified much before the national image is tarnished before the general public and the international community. The whole series of incidents started from unprovoked and preplanned attack on Vedanta Keshari Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati who was visiting his disciples in Darsingbadi village in Kandhmal District on 24 th December. Swamiji, 82 years old has been working relentlessly in the District since 1967 to protect the local population where more than 75% are below the poverty line and are not literate. He has opened schools and hostels, hospitals and temples to protect mainly the tribals and the down-trodden from the clutches of Missionaries who are operating with massive fund from foreign countries and pumped into NGOs in disguised operations to convert the local tribals into Christianity. Chief of such NGOs is one ‘WORLD VISION’ patronized by one Mr. Radhakanta Nayak, a local of Darsingbadi village from ‘Pana’ community but later got converted to Christianity. He happens to be an employee of the State Government promoted to the IAS and retired, and now a Member in the Rajya Sabha. His henchmen were the assailants who attacked Swamiji on 24 th December.

Meanwhile, the Kui tribals among the Kandhs in the District were agitating on the conspiracy by Mr. Nayak who is engineering for getting a Presidential notification under the provisions of the Constitution, to get his ‘Pana’ community, who are scheduled castes relisted as scheduled tribe along with the Kui on the ground that the former also speak the Kui dialect. Various reservation facilities to which scheduled tribes are entitled are not available to persons converted to Christianity. On hearing the assault news on Swamiji, the already agitated Kui community reacted and protested through out the district against the ‘Pana’ community converted to Christianity. Interestingly, the Maoist (Naxalites) activists in the district are also mostly from among the recent converts to Christianity. Among 47 Maoists arrested in connection with recent burning of villages inhabited by Hindus ( Brahmanigaon, Jhinjiriguda, Katingia, and Godapur) as a counter to attacks by tribals on the Churches, 20 guns have been recovered by the security forces from them. It is evident that the Maoists and the Church are hands in glove with each other to spread fratricidal killings and clashes among the tribals which is evident also from incidents in Karbi-Anglong and North Cachar Hills districts in Asaam. Conversions of poor tribal villagers are being conducted on gun point and by spreading terrorism.

While in active government service Mr. Radhakanta Nayak IAS (Retd.) and Mr. John Nayak IPS (Retd.) both converted Christians were instruments of the Church to proselytize the poor and illiterate ‘Pana’ and tribal communities in Kandhamal district of Orissa. Under guise of NGOs thousands of dollars are pumped into the country for conversion of tribals in Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and the North-East. Taking advantage of the poverty and lack of education, thousands have been converted who are also being trained for separatist movements like NSCN in Nagaland and Maoist insurgency in the aforesaid states. This trend is more pronounced since 1970 which is evident from the census reports till 2001. In Kandhamal District alone the Christian population has increased from 6% in 1970 to 27% in 2001, despite an Act enacted by Orissa Legislature in 1967 to prevent conversion by allurement, coercion, bribery and cheating. Swamiji has been fighting a lone battle by making the tribal district his home for last 40 years, who has been targeted by the Church to finish him. Earlier to the recent attack, there were two other lethal attacks on Swamiji in 1971 and 1995. Since then the government has provided armed protection to Swamiji. Inspite of that, he was attacked by armed assailants on 24 December 2007 in which he and his driver and armed security personnel were seriously injured and hospitalized in Cuttack Medical College Hospital. Hence, the recent clashes manifest the various ramifications of the socio-economic, political and cultural tribal issues and the deep-rooted conspiracy by the Church to destabilize our society and our economy . Let the Nation awake and protect our tribal brethren and the national media stop distorting the facts.
