A friend shared this: It seems that now a days the world is dominated by 4 religions. iOS followers, Android followers. Blackberry followers and Windows Phone 8 followers. Android followers remind me of Medival Islamists- forcibly trying to convert others... iOS followers are like present day Christians- Always trying to convert others by showing how much better their God is... BB followers are like Zoroastrians- Slowly loosing relevance but still holding on... WP8 followers are like Hindus - Oblivious of everything around them. Trying to peacefully coexist. Trying to catch up, slowly but steadily... Now waiting for this Hindu to be attacked by others.

There is a reason why the very party which invented the term ‘Hindu Terrorists’ to appease a group gets combative when it hears the term ‘Hindu Nationalists’. If you identify yourself with your Caste, the party will love it; if you identify yourself with any other religion than Hinduism, our PM will say, “you have first right to get direct cash transfer”; but if you say you are a Hindu, that upsets everything! They don’t need Hindus to know they are Hindus! Easy guess that if Hindus unite without getting divided on the basis of castes; that would be the end of Corruption Raaj in India. For Cong party, a Hindu Nationalist means one who will never vote for it (in the present tense) and hence the dislike. From what I have read Swami Vivekananda is said to be one of the first proponents of Hindu Nationalism (at least in modern era). Hindu Nationalism is centered around the “nation” and nation building and its welfare are its supreme goals. But for some others, a dynasty or some f...

There is a big puzzling question. As we notice communists are generally anti-religion but they seem to love and favor Islam in India. Whichever state, e.g. West Bengal and Kerala, where communists have been in power, they have supported Islamic radicalism and have always sided with Muslims organizations and politicians. On the other hand, communist historians have been painting Indian pre-Islamic history (before Islamic invaders came to India) as a dark phase in our history. So why do Indian communists support Islamists when they are expected to be opposed to all religions? A friend shared this and I think he makes good points. Please note that all can be said to be personal opinion and intent of sharing is nothing but opinion-sharing and brain storming: I have just a few things to say, and most of these observations are of a very general nature, so might seem off-topic. They are more of a commentary of the state of affairs in India. First, we must understand that Sho...

Islamic dislike for Buddhists and Buddhist temples and idols all over the world is no hidden fact. But it was surprising that a Buddhist temple was blasted in India after a long long time. But if you watched the trend, nothing comes as a surprise. Nitish Kumar, in order to make all Biharis as “vote banks” has been playing regionalist card for quote some time. Special status for Bihar was a major trump card, which has been spent now after successful hit. Along with regional chauvinist politics which was expected to garner him votes of all castes of Hindus, he was deeply into communal minority vote bank politics by appeasing the minorities by giving them money and funds on many pretexts and under multiple schemes paid by tax payers money who are largely Hindus. But the problem arose when he started compromising on security… Nitish Kumar’s communal Muslim vote bank politics made him protect Islamic terrorists every time their root was found to be in Bihar. He fought with his...
