Hindu Gods
Back in the Spring of 1990, six college students sent 9 questions to Hinduism Today. But to make the explanation better, Hinduism Today had included another question to make it 10 questions that they answered. First remember that if the person is trying to convince you to their thoughts, then do not answer. Smile at them and show them that it is nothing to make you conviced by making you change your thought and you belief. Also remember not to answer a question about religon as if you are sure or fast because you had not thought about it at all. Offer a prolouge first to introduce the problem. This way, you have the time to think and start your conversation. Ask the questioner what his religion is and knowing that you can keep it in his understanding knowledge. Don’t be afraid to answer these questions, even meaningful answers would be taken into great consideration.
The Hinduism Today had included these prologues in their article and they are pasted here too.

Microsoft Certified Professional Exam is designed for IT professionals. It opens up different doors in their career to get promotions and better jobs. This tests people’s knowledge on different aspects of the operating systems, programming and logical thinking. This is not at all an easy exam to pass even for an adult IT professional.
However, 9-year-old girl, Lavinashree shocked the world by passing this exam. She is a young genious, who also broke other records previously. She was the youngest person to memorize the whole Thirukaal (a Tamil epic) with 1300 couplets.
She is now the youngest person to pass this exam and carries a bright future for herself. Watch the video.

Mahatma Gandhi
We are all familiar with the name of Mahatma Gandhi. He is one of the most influential person in the world at this time period. He has been the father of a country that is well remembered as a country of secularism. The religion that is in that country is viewed differently than that is in the other countries. The part of his way to solve the country and the problems that followed were taken differently and solved differently. He is currently remembered as one of the most influential man in the South Asia because no one followed his rule and the concept like he did other ways.
He wrote a autobiography to encourage others to the way to fight these problems without any other harm to the others or without using any violence. His autobiography can be listed here: http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/resources/english/etext-project/biography/gandhi/
From this we hope that other world leaders will learn and fight using non-violence. That is why it is encouraged to read this book and learn from this.

Indian Muslims Burning Indian Flag
Albert Einstein once said “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” What happened in Mumbai in the closing days of November 2008 was evil. The terrorists who planned and financed it were evil. The terrorists who carried it out were evil. And the terrorists who provided tactical and other support were evil. That should surprise no one. People long have known the depths of depravity to which radical Islam is capable of sinking. Have they not given us ample evidence?
Just since the September 11, 2001 bombings that killed over 3000 Americans, radical Islamists have carried out over 11,000 terror attacks worldwide. While they were not the first to use suicide bombers or hijack airplanes, Islamists carried both to new heights as their principle weapons of terror. They have blown up schools and students, driven busses into crowds of people, set off terror bombs on public transportation and elsewhere in dozens of countries throughout Asia and Europe. Their leaders openly call for genocide against Jews and Hindus, and their followers are trying to carry out those calls. Wherever they have had the power to do so, they deliberately destroy religious shrines and houses of worship and brag about it as step in destroying other faiths or variants of Islam. And then they have the gall to claim that these things were done because they were angry at some perceived offense, frustrated at their current living conditions, or defending their own warped conception of human rights. So, while terrible, are the events that unfolded in ten locations across Mumbai anything new or surprising? Did the terrorists do anything they have not promised us they would do?
The tragedy is that these events could have been prevented. Radical Islam has been warning the rest of us that it means to re-make our planet in its own image and kill anybody that threatens to stand in its way. Its practitioners have vowed repeatedly to destroy India as an abomination against Islam; yet its leaders act as if they were only kidding. Despite the country experiencing almost non-stop Islamist attacks, the ruling Congress Party maintains a strict policy of non-confrontation with home-grown Muslims who support the radical organizations. It recently showed far more zeal in prosecuting an alleged “Hindu terrorist” after a bomb went off in a predominantly Muslim town. The accused Hindu priest was interrogated several times, despite the fact that her only tie to the bombing was a car used in the attack, which 38 year-old Sadhwi Pragya Singh Thakur had sold years before. In a policy of appeasement similar to Britain’s (which was also a target in the Mumbai attacks), that same government deliberately refrains from identifying terrorists as Muslim.
Indian Hindus often complain that the government is not carrying out its mandate of secularism but practices a “pseudo-secularism” that bends over backwards to favor minorities even if it means heaping disabilities on Hinduism or Hindus. Its recently-passed budget contained millions in subsidies for Muslims to go on the Hajj to Mecca and pilgrimages to Jerusalem; but not a penny for the numerous but uncounted Hindu refugees from Islamist ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh. Other groups are agitating because the government took possession of Hindu temples but refuses to maintain them.
A few days back, someone named “Allah Ke Bande” left a horrible comment against Hindus in general. I didn’t make a big deal out of this because I wanted people to realize the impact of Islamic Extremism that the world needs to encounter.
Allah Ke Bande, I made this video specifically for you. The background song is by Kailash Kher.
This is the time for us to reflect on the deaths and victims of Islamic extremism that people need to encounter on a daily basis. This is just one attack but for thousands of years, Hindus, Christians and Jews have to live with these types of radicalism from Islam. The funniest thing is that killing innocent people actually has been working for the Muslim extremists. The world population is not doing enough to end this extremism.
I said before and I am saying again. Certain aspects of Islam has problems and Muslims need to clarify those aspects. If Muslims don’t clarify the positions on Islam then more hatred will arise on the Muslims themselves.

Dr. Richard Benkin
On November 1, 2008, I delivered the Arvind Ghosh Memorial Lecture to the Human Empowerment Convention in suburban Chicago. The address was interrupted more than a half dozen times with applause and received a standing ovation at its conclusion. The following are excerpts from that address.
“Some years back, my mother, wife, and daughter were sitting in a Jerusalem restaurant enjoying a meal. Not many weeks later, a Palestinian terrorist entered the restaurant and blew himself up, [and] I realized that had my mother, my wife, and my daughter been there that day, the murderers would have considered their deaths something glorious…. Anyone who could glory in the deaths of my mother, my wife, and my daughter is an enemy so vile that…there can be no quarter, no negotiation, no compromise; and in the fight against it there can be no rest….
“Why is there any question about the need to fight them unrelentingly and to destroy them utterly….Our enemy’s expressed goals are to destroy our faiths, our values, our ways of life….Fuzzy thinking about this can destroy us, and…no matter [who] tries to convince us otherwise, [we] must remain focused on what we have to do to defeat them….This enemy has a name, and we need to use it: radical Islam. Not terrorism, which is only a tactic; or unspecified radicals, militants, or whatever politically correct word is in fashion but Islamist radicals….If we are engaged in a war on ‘terror,’ we are [merely] reacting to a tactic [and] not engaged in a comprehensive effort to defeat the terrorists and those who send them. If our enemies are merely “the extremists,” we have [abandoned] the search for any ideology…that unites those extremists and motivates them. [That] dilutes our struggle, weakens us, and strengthens our enemies…radical Islamists.
“An alliance of Israel, India, and the United States…can [easily] dispose of the terrorists and the national leaders that support them…Look at what each nation has done by itself. Ever since its 1948 birth, Israel has been bedeviled by nation-states and terrorist groups determined to destroy it. It is the only nation on earth that has never known a day of peace….Invaded by multiple Arab militaries in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973…Israel beat them all back so thoroughly, that they had to change tactics and send terror proxies to do their work…. But the terrorists have failed, too. Suicide bombings [and rocket strikes from Gaza] have been virtually eliminated….In a 2007 conversation with an Israeli insider, I noted how the number of terror attacks dropped significantly, even though the terrorists keep trying….‘Let me tell you a secret,’ he whispered, smiling. ‘We stop most of them in their beds.’ Israel has survived; more than that, it has thrived to become one of the world’s technological giants….

Bomb Attack on Assam
There we go again. Another attack on India. This time it was on Assam. The Indian government has been really weak when it comes to combating terrorism. We would hope that after hundreds of attacks by Islamic terrorists on India, they would really take some measures to prevent it. However, thanks to minority appeasement and pseudo secularism they really haven’t done anything. We have seen over and over again the Indian media going after police administration when they arrest anyone who is a Muslim for terrorism charges. Now the Indian police administration feels reluctant to arrest a Muslim without 150% proof because otherwise they have to face constant backlash from the biased media.
One thing we have to understand here. Not all Muslims are terrorists. However, all the Islamist terrorists are Muslims. Therefore, when we are looking for suspects it makes sense to focus on the radical Islamic communities rather than wasting time on others.
Read More: Terrorist Attack on Assam
Assam has a problem of illegal mass Muslim migration from Bangladesh. A lot of these Muslims are poor and need desperate support. The radical Islamic organizations then come ahead with a false sense of support and recruit these people into terrorism activities. There has been instances where the local Assamese and Bangladeshi illegal immigrants have clashed against each other. India seriously needs to look into this migration issue.

This has really been annoying me the last few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I have been a minority all my life. The place where I grew up, I was the only Hindu in the whole area. I understand the minority issues and strive for equality more than anyone else.
At the end of the day, everyone wants peace. This will happen when there is a mutual understanding between the groups. However, for political and votebank reasons the Indian media has been really alienating the Hindu group. If this continues more disturbances and mistrust will arise among the population.
Whenever there is a terrorist attack carried out by Islamist radical organizations, the Indian media always downplays the incidence and uses ambiguous terms such as “anti-Indians” or “disoriented youths” etc. However, whenever there is a remote chance of any Hindu involvement on anything, they don’t hesitate to point out the Hindu involvement
How many terrorist attacks have taken place in India that have been carried out by Islamist organizations? In the last 3 months there has been at least one attack each month. The government hasn’t done a single thing but the media such as IBN and others jumped on the boat of calling Indians intolerant and that they are wrong in calling terrorists “Islamists.” They also point fingers at BJP for calling Islamist terrorists, “Islamist terrorist.” Are you serious?
Sagarika Ghost of IBN even blamed BJP for protesting against legalizing SIMI. This is a democracy for God’s sake. We are allowed to protest against whatever we like. Legalizing SIMI had no impact whatsoever. This was an ideological battle defeated in India by the pro-peace and pro-democracy people.
I am sick and tired of these types of double standards in the media. My friend, this is called “pseuedo secularism” not at all “secularism.”
That’s why blogging becomes so freaking important. This gives us a voice to fight back against the media. Whenever there is an article in the Indian media acting all “psuedo-secularizing”, we see 10-15 comments neutralizing that article. This is what we need…taking full advantage of Web 2.0. Neutralizing the media.
This is also a trend in the US/Canada. Web 2.0 is a huge force. A lot of people tend to learn and believe a lot from the web interactions rather than what is implied in the media. Therefore, Indians need to get this started. More bloggers need to enter into the arena. The internet is becoming a big force in India and as a result we saw the Indian government banning blogspot.com a few years back.
An effective blogging community can bring about changes and raise awareness in the community. The PC myth needs to stop! Appeasement needs to stop!
Hinduism has its roots in India. However British philosophers to prove their claim of the Adam-Eve story have said that Hinduism and civilization came from outside of India. They were trying to prove that Indian or Hindu culture itself is foreign and therefore accepting the British and Christianity should be an innate quality to the Indian. This is the root of the Aryan Invasion Theory a theory which now is highly discredited in scholarship. Its roots are racist, eurocentric and now completely disproved.
