Binayak Sen: Connecting Secular Dots Fans of Dr. Binayak Sen, a Maoist sympathizer, convicted with life imprisonment for charges of sedition and anti-national activities, by trial court and whose initial bail appeal was rejected by Chhattisgarh high court, have ample reasons for jubilation in recent times. Not only did the Supreme Court grant him a bail but he was also appointed to the National Health Planning Commissions steering committee.It is no secret that Dr Sen enjoys a huge popularity and has a long list of national and int...	Arindam B	S.Ghosh: This is another example of the cooperation of the Congress-BJP-Business Community to take away by force little land and livelihood of some of the poorest people of India. If they protest they will be called Terrorists Naxals. .... [30 comments]
Conversion Congress & Bloody Indians Recently, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh assured a Christian delegation that he was trying to evolve a consensus on granting Scheduled Caste status to Dalit Christians and Dalit Muslims. This is interesting since just a few days ago; the Gujarat High Court has rejected a plea filed by a converted Christian seeking access to benefits extended to him earlier as a Scheduled Caste Hindu.In addition the Prime Minister reportedly promised “to act on the Saldanha report on violence against minorities in...	Arindam B	S.Ghosh: Caste system should be abolished by law. All reservations and quotas must be based on poverty. The biggest enemy of the Dalit was BR Ambedkar, who made the caste system permanent.

An open letter to Mr. Rahul Gandhi That should be the message for you and your party, Mr. Gandhi. For too long, Indians have been fooled. They have been kept hungry and illiterate so that they are dependent on crumbs offered by the government and political parties, for the price of their vote. For generations, they have been promised roti, kapada aur makan before every elections, but they received nothing but injustice, humiliation and disdain after that. You have asked the youth to come and join and change politics. But politics...

What about the current floods of corruptions in both Karnata, Gujarat governments. BJP so far has done nothing. What abou.... [3 comments]
Saffron Terror: An Analysis Recently when he tried to highlight the phenomenon of Saffron Terror, for a moment one wondered whether our Home Minister, Mr. P Chidambaram was suffering from a selective and specific form of color-blindness and was seeing saffron instead of green, red or white. But soon it became clear that it was not a casual statement or even a cheap political gimmick because despite protest from political opponents and even from members of his own party, he stood firm on his statement and justified that he ...	Arindam B	R SUDARSAN: I am tempted to subscribe to the theory that the Hindu Dharma today needs something like indigenous JIHADS AND JIHADIS like Bhagath Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Vanchinathan and many many others to uproot Jayachands and Mir Jaffars like the self serving ....

Open letter to Mr. Shahrukh Khan (SRK) Of late, we have been reading about your opinions and statements on matters beyond the celluloid world. Nothing is wrong in it. You live in a free, democratic country and are entirely entitled to your opinion. But as a common man, also from the same soil, I think I have the right too to raise a few points that may not conform to your views of the real world.I hope you will read it out.When recently, the Pakistani players were not selected for the IPL, it was almost predictable that NDTV, the awa...

Media, Muslims and Modi Pick up any topic on Gujarat now-a-days. Watch it through the prism of minority-ism and see if the color changes favorably. Adjust the brightness and the contrast appropriately to see if you can create a Muslim victim-hood picture that is acceptable to the pseudo-secular market. Then touch it up at the right places with a brush dipped in the universally available NMBPS (Narendra Modi Bashing Paint Solution). You end up with a perfect painting that is fit to grace the India media. To enhance its ...	Arindam B	Gogs: Why Congress is fooling around the whole Indian population? Why aide on the caste basis? Don"t you think, Poor Muslim or poor Hindu have the same rights to get the aide for education. I appreciate Mr Modi to stand out and pointing out such unconstitu.... [5 comments]
BJP"s defeat: The Hindu perspective The BJP has lost in the recently concluded Lok Shabha 2009 elections. The political party, conceived as the face of Hindu interest has lost to the dynastic Congress Party. The people of India, the land of ancient Hindu civilization, with over 700 million electorate, arguably 80% of whom are Hindus, participated and chose not to elect the party that is accused of being communal and non-secular for promoting Hindu agendas and looking after Hindu concerns. Logically then one has to raise the follow...	Arindam B	NAVIN: A very nice article revealing the real drawbacks for both(1)Indian secularism and (2)Plight of Hindu society in India itself.It seems there is a great need of awareness among Hindus that this is not a political issue,but it is a social/Ethnic issue w....

Mr PM, Indias needs better leaders Our Prime Minister Manmohan Singh thinks Indias global standing will diminish and its image as a liberal, secular democracy take a beating if Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, whom the BJP has projected as next-in-line to LK Advani, ever becomes Prime Minister. Let it be clear that when he said global, the PM perhaps meant the western countries and USA and may be the oil rich Middle eastern nations and not Zimbabwe or Rwanda. It is interesting that the Prime minister did not find it against ...	Arindam B	Add Comment

Others when they come will be from a place that would be former Pakistan after the actual Talibans are done with that country) THEY ARE HERE ...	Arindam B	jung: great punch to sharma [2 comments]
Narendra Modi as Prime Minister - Part I The recent drama that evolved when Anil Ambani, Sunil Mittal, Ratan Tata and other industrialists lauded Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at the investors summit in Gujarat, claiming his leadership as national level material and wishing that person like him should be the next leader of the country, was quite interesting and deserves an honest appraisal....

Modi as PM - Divisive politics - Part II In a country plagued by religion, caste and creed based politics, which dates back from the British era and which is faithfully nurtured by most political parties, Modi stands apart. Im a living example of casteless politics. I am an OBC and I come from a most backward caste.. The fact that I have no caste base helps me because no one says I take decisions based on caste. ...	Arindam B	A.Moron: Jai: Try to understand and analyse what I wrote. Look at the distributions of finance and industrial projects, licenses, quotas, and subsidies to the States of India since 1951.

Why we need Modi as PM? - Part III Eminent writer-activist Mahasweta Devi, recently praised Gujarat, I have been to Gujarat many times, especially during the 2002 communal killings. ..I was deeply impressed to see the strong work culture in Gujarat. The city and village roads are well-built, even the remotest villages have electricity and access to drinking water. I was especially impressed with the medical facilities in the panchayats and local-level health centers... Comparing to the over 30 years of the communist Government ru...	Arindam B	Sushil Chandra: Sushil: Since his election last time as Chief Mininster of Gujarat, I always had the feeling that Mr. Modi is the right person to be Prime Minister of India. However, it is hard to see how that can be acheived, since Indians are not united and r.... [2 comments]
Are you scared of Hindus, Brinda Karat? Congratulations Mrs Brinda Karat. You are the first in history of mankind to have dubbed the entire Hindu community as Fundamentalist. . Not even the Pope or the Imam had the insight to think about it before. Its a pity that so far there has not been an accolade from the anti-Hindu, pseudo secular, quasi-intelligent ilk, that you represent. Perhaps our Prime Minister will soon render an apology on behalf of the Hindus and consider you for next years Bharat Ratna award.Surely you are ecstatic tha...	Arindam B	S.Ghosh: Brinda Karat, Pravat Karat, sitaram Yachury etc are not Marxists. They are members of the Ned Delhi"s cafe society [2 comments]
Are Hindus Violent? - Part 3 One question does arise - why is our media, politicians and human right activists so biased and one-sided. Is it just their naivety? Is it their lack of self esteem, resulting from centuries of foreign rule? Is it fear from otherwise becoming the target of wrath of minority extremists? Or is there some other vested interest like power, money and influence? Do they really hate the faith of their motherland so much that they cannot see through the nefarious designs? Why is the Indian media, specia...	Arindam B	Add Comment
