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.

1. I am really pleased that you are interested in my religion. You may not know that one out of six people in the world are Hindu.
2. Many people have asked me about my tradition. I don’t know everything but I will try to answer your question.
3. First, you should know that in Hinduism, it is not only belief and intellectual understanding that is important. Hindus place the greatest value of experiencing each of those truths personally.
4. You can also say the question back to see if the person has questioned you correctly.

Remember that Sanatan Dharma is an experiential path so it is your experience that is answering the question and nothing else. You can also ask the person if he or she has any other questions. Remember not to think that everyone that is asking you question about your religion might not be challenging you all the time. If you don’t know any answer, don’t say something that you had just made up, say you don’t know anything about this. You can tell him that you can lend him Hindu scriptures to learn by himself because you don’t have any knowledge about it.

Why does Hindus have so many Gods?

Hindus all believe in one supreme God who had created the Universe, He is preserving us and he had also created all the Gods who are other spiritual beings as his Helper. Hindus always worship only one Supreme Being that may be called by different names because there are many other languages in parts of India. The four main principals are:

1. Saivism: God Shiva
2. Shaktism: Goddess Shakti
3. Vaishnavites: God Vishnu
4. Smartas: all other Deities as part of the Supreme Gods

One of the first and unique understanding is that God is not far away. This God is inside every single of us and inside us and inside our soul. It is waiting to be discovered by us so that it would not be hidden from inside us any longer. Hinduism is a religion that follows henotheistic or henotheism because this word best describes Hinduism. It is him that has energized so much of us and our Universe. It is him that shines every single of us and you have to let him know that you know him so he could come out of you and you can learn about him. God is apart from the world and He is transendent. God is both in the World and beyond the World. This sometimes seem to be confusing to non-Hindus because they don’t know how you can call one being with many names. There are right terms that use this to make this all possible for you to understand what Hindusim really is.

Sri Lankan Team, a file picture

The India and New Zealand cricketers wore a black band during their ODI match, held in New Zealand. The whole cricketing fraternity was stunned by this disgraceful act and the lack of responsibility shown by the Pakistan government. There were opinions and comments flying in from ex-cricketers and common public from all around the world in protest. The Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samaraweera, Kumar Sangakkara, Tharanga Paranavithana and Ajantha Mendis suffered injuries and were attended duly. However, the tour was immediately called off and the players are returning home soon.

Everyone is in depression and is not seeing anything positive as far as Pakistan is concerned. I am not sure what stance the ICC or BCCI, for that matter would take in this regard, but it seems that there will be no cricket played in Pakistan in the next 4 to 5 years at least. It is time some strong steps are taken and some harsh decisions are made to ensure this type of incident does not occur in the future.

However, the big bang comes in from Pakistan, in which a Pakistani minister, Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gaboi (Minister of State for Shipping) states that the attack on Sri Lankan cricket team was done by terrorists from India, who has crossed over the Indo-Pak border and attacked the Sri Lankan team to defame Pakistan internationally! How ridiculous is this, now? A minister of state who holds high position and much higher responsibility is saying something like this. This not only shows how irresponsible the Pakistani government is, but also is a clear gesture to prove the support these terrorist groups are getting from Pakistan. India is trying to aid Sri Lanka to fight LTTE terrorists in Jaffna and Northern territories of Sri Lanka to give them a better future; and these rascals are talking shameful about India herself! Even there is a segment in India and Sri Lanka which feels that India should not be any part of the steps taken against the LTTE there in Sri Lanka – they do not support India’s humanitarian act for peace.

This is not the only case where India was sent down recently. The recent violence in Bangladesh that saw the BDR taking to arms against the Government and the Army was mentioned to be an act by Indian bureaucrats. A few people did not feel ashamed to even mention it as a conspiracy by India to ignite violence in Bangladesh! Bangladesh, a country which was torn apart from undivided India, got its existence, recognition and language because of India – Indian brotherly behavior from time immemorial. They forgot everything – and why would not they? Indian never tried to influence Bangladesh or its politics in any manner whatsoever. India fought for Bangladesh’s cause and lost brave sons of the soil and just left Bangladesh with their own dirty thoughts and mischievous lives! Well, that was a gesture renowned and appreciated from all groups across the world, but what has that given in return? Conspiracy against India? Home for the black listed ULFA, SULFA, ATTF and NLFT terrorists? Free route to India for Talibani terrorists? What else and what not!

It is alarming! The three neighboring states are at cross with India. And she is going on showing compassion and brotherly gestures – and looking into the recent signals that has come from the Indian government, I doubt this is going to stop in recent times. It is high time to stop and take the bull by its horns. There is no other way out. India has already seen Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Bangalore, Agartala, Guwahati, Delhi and Mumbai shake in terror. What else is she waiting for now? Isn’t it enough now? Hope the government act soon… The Parliamentary elections are here, almost knocking at the door. I hope the people will choose the right persons now, who can and who will act readily. Or else, we would suffer – for all we are banking right now, is suffering and more suffering – for us, and for our coming generations!

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.

Before Mumbai, there had been 1,111 Indian fatalities (mostly defenseless civilians) from terrorist attacks in 2008 alone. Most attackers were Islamist, but 369 Indians were killed by leftists. When I was in India earlier this year, there was a terrorist attack or counter terrorist operation every day. But while security forces will go after individual terrorists, the government has made no strong moves to stop terrorism at its root—either by breaking up home-grown supporters or taking any one of numerous actions at its disposal against foreign nations involved in the death of Indian citizens. Neither has India done anything to end its open border policy, especially in the North and Northeast where I observed contraband in the form of arms and drugs being carted into India under the noses of the Indian Border Security Force and other militia. Terrorists also enter India freely from Bangladesh, Nepal, and China.

Indian intelligence sources now have confirmed that the Mumbai terrorists received training and support from Pakistan. All information points to at least two Islamist organizations, including Lashkar-e-Taiba in Kashmir. One of the captured terrorists, Abu Islam, however, reported “that they reached India via sea route and they were trained by the Pakistani army as well as [the] Pakistan intelligence agency, ISI.” Abu Islam lives in Pakistan, and several reports identify a number of terrorists as “British subjects of Pakistani origin.” These revelations already have caused an international stir. The British government asked the Indians “not to jump to conclusions” without a full investigation. More ominously, the Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi cut short his visit to India after the allegations surfaced; although he later said that Pakistan would “extend full cooperation and at all levels,” while denying a Pakistani connection to the attacks. Reneging on that pledge, however, the Pakistanis refused to send the head of the ISI as requested but only “a representative.”

The way India responds to these nascent geo-political events will indicate how extensive its anti-terror resolve might remain. Pressure against that resolve will come from Europe, Iran, the Arab world, and almost every member of the international NGO club; all of whom will counsel “cool heads” and argue against taking action to preserve Indian lives. These are the same parties that continue to push a faux human rights agenda Israel, thereby aping the Islamists they are in effect supporting. For instance, when Palestinian terrorists were blowing up innocent Israelis on public busses, they were unyielding in telling Israel to make concessions to the terrorists because the latter felt “humiliated” by the checkpoints they had to pass on their way to wreak havoc on Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. The United States similarly lost a lot of the resolve it had after the September 11th attacks. It did destroy Afghanistan’s oppressive and racist Taliban government. And by the way, which nation’s capital is only 100 kilometers from the radical seminary that trained the Taliban? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Pakistan? The answer, unfortunately, is India where the Darool Uloom Seminary just north of New Delhi.

US anti-terrorist actions have prevented any attacks on its soil since September 11th, and they are wrapping up their successful mission in Iraq. But the unity of resolve that characterized the United States in the days following 9/11 is a distant memory. The US President who launched the war on Islamist extremism, George W. Bush, will be leaving office in a matter of weeks; and his administration has been engaged in trying to pressure Israel into rewarding the Islamists. Moreover, Americans have just elected a President, Barack Obama, whose policy is to negotiate with those nation-states that sponsor Islamist terror.

It is up to Indians and Indian leaders to learn from these mistakes and recognize the danger they face on a daily basis from Islamist radicals. Whether in a new “coalition of the willing” (to borrow a phrase from Bush), the sort of changes in its border and security policies that the United States started to make after 9/11, or a sustained military and intelligence effort to destroy any of the millions of Indian Muslims who are part of or support Islamist extremists; the resources exist for India to energize the lagging international fight against the international scourge of Islamist terrorism.

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….

“India was born with an enemy dedicated to its destruction on its northwest border. For the last ten years, Pakistan has been a nuclear power. It has supported anti-Indian terror for decades, and since 1996, the entire Muslim ummah in the form of the Organization of Islamic Conferences and its members stand with Pakistan in claiming Kashmir. India faces a steady stream of terror attacks [and] a steady flow of Muslim infiltrators trying with some success to change the demographic realities in East and West Bengal. As I rode through villages near the Bangladesh and Nepal borders…I was told how each one has gone from having a mixed Hindu-Muslim population to an exclusively or almost exclusively Muslim one.…Yet India, too, survives and is becoming one of the new century’s economic giants….

“The United States remains the world’s only superpower and its largest economy…[Its] efforts in Iraq are succeeding. Terrorist actions are down, calm is returning, and Iraqis are taking on ever more of their national responsibilities. [It] has defeated an Islamist onslaught…conducted with no regard for the safety of innocents or for any international conventions. It has done so despite a worldwide ideological crusade by leftists and elites to demonize the United States and its anti-Islamist efforts. They have called it a war for oil, a war for Israel, and a war against Islam….

“Radical Islam threatens every country and people on earth but targets these three nations specifically for extinction….Yet, all three nations are told to negotiate with the enemy; to make concessions; to understand their grievances and our sins….Never mind that Israelis were being blown up on public busses; Palestinians said they were ‘humiliated’ by Israel’s security checkpoints. So the world leaned on Israel, not the Arabs, to engage in what they called confidence building measures [that is] unilateral concessions [that only built] our enemy’s confidence in our weakness….

“India is the key. Israel and the United States have had a strategic relationship at least since the 1960s. [India] did not even recognize Israel until 1992 and was a staunch ally of the Soviet Union during the Cold War.…But the collapse of the Soviet Union and growth of the Islamist enemy changed international realities and caused most nations to take a new look at their strategic interests….

“This has caused something of a generation gap among members of the India’s media and government. Many remain tied to the ideologies and policies of the past, while much of the younger generation does not….The [leftist] Congress Party recently broke with its communist allies over the…nuclear cooperation deal with the United States [and] West Bengal [Communists] suffered some reverses in local elections for the first time in its thirty-year, iron-fisted rule of that state….Earlier this year, I addressed a group of journalism students at the University of Lucknow [about] Islamist ethnic cleansing of Bangladeshi Hindus. [They] voiced their opinions about how the Indian media has failed to identify the true nature of this genocide-in-the-making [but also] avidly drank in any detail I could provide about life in the Jewish state…and about the way Jews and Hindus share so many values and sensibilities. More than anything else, however, these journalists of tomorrow wanted to know how tiny Israel was able to ‘defeat the terrorists and jihadis…so India can adopt these methods and defeat our terrorists like the Israelis did….’

“Members of [the] mainstream media…were quite candid about the media’s leftist bias, corruption in the Congress government…and about the severity of the Islamist threat….But because, they told me…they “would surely be sacked” if their editors or colleagues heard those candid opinions, we met in out of the way hotels, coffee shops, and other inconspicuous places….

“In the United States…the political correctness police see a potential offense in virtually every comment that calls our enemy what it is. In Israel, it is the misnomered peace camp; misnomered because the only peace their policies would bring is the peace of the grave. In India, it is pseudo-secularism, a policy that legislates Hinduism to a second-class status….The recent budget included millions to fund Muslim religious pilgrimages but not a penny for Bangladeshi Hindus living stateless and abused in refugee camps. Even in its final days in office, Israel’s Kadima Party is looking to strike a deal that would give up ancestral Jewish lands on West Bank, but also part of Israel’s capital, Jerusalem [and] Hebron, where Judaism’s patriarchs and matriarchs are buried….There had been a continuous Jewish presence in Hebron from biblical times until 1929 [when] Muslims with help from local authorities rioted and attacked the ancient Jewish community. Those who were not murdered were expelled [and] today, the descendants of the murderers have the gall to say the descendants of the victims have no title to the land, and the world disdainfully calls them ‘settlers.’ So, tell me, at what point does the statute of limitation run on genocide….

“We are also fighting what I have termed the Red-Green Alliance… of Communists and Islamists…In 2004, Al Qaeda terrorists were on the run from U.S. forces that dislodged them from their strongholds in Afghanistan….Friendly [Pakistani] border guards got them safely… to terrorist-controlled sections of Kashmir and into Nepal where they set up terror bases….Nepal is overwhelmingly Hindu and hardly a likely candidate to become the next Taliban state, but the Nepalese King had seized dictatorial powers in response to a decades-long communist revolt. That made for social chaos and uncontrolled borders that allowed Islamists in the Pakistan Embassy to engineered an agreement with the communists to provide Al Qaeda with safe haven.

“The Islamists were…interested in the world’s third-largest Muslim country just down the road: Bangladesh [where] Islamists had infiltrated virtually all of the country’s social institutions and had been part of the government since 2001. They were all set to make further gains in the upcoming January 2007 elections [until] a military coup stopped them—for the moment. [But] the Islamists remain in the area ready to seize power when conditions allow it….The Maoists’…reward was a role in Nepal’s coalition government, which gave them enough legitimacy to masquerade as a political party and run in the next election [and seize] power. [We see Red-Green] collusion between West Bengal communist government and Bengali Islamists [in] ongoing attacks by local and Bangladeshi Islamists that the government tolerates. I recall one village where the local commissar got there before I did to intimidate the refugees into silence. It appeared to be working until one elderly woman stood up in the public square and said, ‘I’m not afraid of anyone,’ and with the red official looking on, proceeded to tell me about the continuing attacks. [Its] less violent side is even more influential in blocking a US-India-Israel alliance….Leftists sympathize with Islamist goals, demonize Israel, and oppose anything the United States does….

“Wherever I went in India, I heard, ‘There are no democracies between Jerusalem and New Delhi.’ India and Israel…have been able to maintain their democracy without military coups or contrived states of emergency, without the suspension of rights or elections, despite pressure so continuous that few nations would be able to withstand it. In our tripartite alliance, we have the world’s oldest democracy, the United States, the world’s largest democracy, India, and the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel…. Each offers something the others do not….India’s greatest enemy is Pakistan; at least for now, the United States maintains extensive relations with it. Iran is Israel’s nemesis (America’s, too); and India has a good relationship with that country. America’s greatest rival, China (also a threat to India), has some serious ties with Israel.

“In the area of energy, competition for resources between India and the United States helped drive up the price of oil. [They accounted] for one third of the world’s oil consumption ….We appeared dependent on OPEC while they seemed independent of us [until] recent US actions to increase drilling, dip into its oil reserves, and conserve energy…drove down the price of oil [and] sent OPEC into a panic. If these two giant oil importers could unite in deliberate action to collapse the price—then take advantage of some extremely exciting Israeli advances in alternate energy technologies—the three could turn defeat and dependence into victory….

“Both the United States and India now have troops training in Israel, studying anti-terrorism tactics, urban guerilla warfare, and other tactics. In January, an Israeli spy satellite was fired into orbit on the back of an Indian rocket; and…India is now the largest importer of weaponry from Israel….Intelligence sharing has also grown with time, and Israeli intelligence is particularly active in providing India with good information to keep Pakistan in check….

“To make an India-Israel-US alliance a reality….First, we have to commit ourselves to doing what it takes to achieve this…As I have found in my own human rights efforts, there is nothing that can stop a committed individual who continues to impress upon leaders the moral nature of his or her claims. Second…we have to organize…identifying people who are willing to put together structures, raise funds, and do the leg work needed to convince people in Washington, New Delhi, and Jerusalem to further these ties. Third…we need to make this an issue that [politicians] cannot ignore. Bring it to their attention; tie donations to it; take out ads; get media time [and secure] cooperation of lawmakers from [all] parties…When I toured the Hindu refugee camps earlier this year, it was a member of the Congress Party who stood with me [even though] many in his party opposed his decision but….It is no different in the United States. The last protest letter I asked be sent to the Bangladeshi government was signed by four Members of Congress: Trent Franks of Arizona, a conservative Republican; Mark Kirk of Illinois, a moderate Republican; Steve Rothman, a moderate Democrat from New Jersey; and Allyson Schwartz, a liberal Democrat from Philadelphia….And work to defeat those who reject the seriousness of the existential threat that all three nations face. Do it as if your life depended on it because it does.

“Fourth, there are many ways to build a corps of supporters in the United States Congress and Senate. Networks of like-minded individuals exist in all three countries and all over the world….Fifth, find the ‘good guys’ in the media. Although we rightly complain about a media tendency to avoid naming the threat and to downplay its seriousness, there are many writers and outlets that are not like that. We need to identify them and cultivate those relationships….

“Over the past couple years, I have become more and more involved in trying to protect the Bangladeshi Hindus from the genocidal efforts of Bengali Islamists, the corruption of Bengali leaders, and the shameful inaction by India, the United Nations, Amnesty International and the other so-called human rights groups…Some 20 million Bangladeshi Hindus who should be here are not….As a Jew, I am extremely sensitive about the Nazi holocaust against my people. I have family who survived it and family who did not. There is nothing in history that comes close to it [but this situation is eerily familiar]….Contact me….Work with me….Do not let this opportunity pass.” You can help me return to India in March to fight for the Bangladeshi Hindus by donating at Interfaith Strength.

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.

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!
