RSS by N.V.SANKARAN on 18 Apr 2009

The major complaint against the RSS and BJP is that they created a communal issue over the Ramjanmabhoomi. But, the fact that the first recorded Hindu-Muslim conflict had taken place in the year 1853 during the British rule is conveniently forgotten. It is not possible that the issue just surfaced that year, but was probably brewing right from the day the Bbri Masjid was built. It is to be believed that the Hindus could not raise the issue boldly until the Mughal empire was nearing its end by early 1850s. Interestingly, none of the so-called Hindutwa organizations of today was even born during that time. The first of such organization, the RSS was formed in 1925 only, i.e. 73 years after the first recorded Hindu-Muslim conflict over Ram janmabhoomi. Therefore, the propaganda that RSS was responsible for creating the Ramjanmabhoomi issue is a blatant lie. The fact is, neither the British government until 1947 nor the subsequent secular governments ever wanted the problem to be resolved, but they wanted to keep it alive as part of their divide and rule strategy. Had there been any honest effort to solve the problem, all political parties would have tried to convince the Muslim community that for a very large section of Hindus including those who are upset over the manner in which the Babri Masjid was demolished, who outnumber the entire Muslim community of the country, Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi are as sacred as Mecca and Medina for the Muslims. If the governments had tried for a negotiated settlement, the issue would not have become so contentious and much of the conflict could have been avoided. Instead of trying to resolve the issue through meaningful negotiations, the secular parties, even now want to keep it as a burning issue in order to win the Muslim votes in bulk. Even now, the Hindu organizations affirm their promise to build another Mosque in the nearby area in Ayodhya at their own cost, if they(the Muslims) agreed to vacate the place which many Hindus believe is the birth place of their Lord Ram. But, unfortunately, the tragedy is that the secular parties would not let the Muslims community to accept such an honorable settlement, because, if they do, they cannot blame the Hindu organizations on this issue any longer.

Varun we are there for you!! by Chandra S G on 17 Apr 2009

Varun has emerged as the leader meeting up the aspirations of millions of Indians..!!I think whoever talks against him are HYPOCRITEs... Everyone knows he was addressing those people who have been inflicting harm on HINDU society.... and it is fact..!!Please accept the truth that HIndus are being.. ill-treated and insulted and humliated and tortured / killed in their own country..!!There are lot of cockroaches in this country.. who breath the air of India but think good of Pakistan... and those cockroaches are inflicting maximum hurt on Hindus/ Indians..!I think VARUN has guts to speak out... unlike others..!!We are with Varun solidly..!! Also,Ppl who talk about RSS has done nothing for the country.. in their entire life... RSS is the only nationalist voluntary organisation in the country... with cadre base of millions.. Infact it is the worlds largest voluntary organisation..!!These Hypocrites.. who criticise RSS are also.. dirty cockraches...!!

Communal Divide by AK on 17 Apr 2009

What a paradox? Congress, BJP, BSP all seems to be happy promoting communal divide to improve their poll prospect. Singhvi seems to be enjoying the polarization of voter through free distribution of his sugar coated venom lunches to the so called vote bank. Politicians speak what their supporters like to hear. They will stop talking nonsense if their supporters also see that as nonsense. It is we who are fools. Whichever side we are we are also responsible for the behavior of the politicians.

Real Threat by Nick on 17 Apr 2009

Can Varun come out and say that while in custody he was tortured because his dad is so and so and get away? Sanjay Dutt caused as much low politics and danger when he said the other day that police punished him because of his mother etc. Lets not forget that for years after independence, to get any government officer in trouble all some local guys had to say was that 'he saw him talking to a Prachark' or some thing like that. There was no bigger crime than that. Congress was and is the least secular party, if we do understand the meaning of secularism!!

Varun's political suicide by thangvualnam on 17 Apr 2009

Any one living with hatred is unfit to rule India whether he/she is BJP or Congress. Varun by his own reckless speech has tarnished his future political career. I never expect such deregatory speech from any member of Nehru-Gandhi family!

muslim fundamentalist by A STAUNCH HINDU MAN on 17 Apr 2009

YOU WONT HAVE HEARD ANY NAME AS THESE GUYS LACK THE SPUNK . THEY ARE BROUGHT UP IN SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY SPREAD HATRED AND SPEAK AGAINST THE COUNTRY WHICH HAS GIVEN THEM SECURITY, IDENTITY AND MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD.GROW UP OTHERWISE YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE REASONS FOR ALL CONFLICTS AND FIGHTING HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD.DOESNT IT MAKE UR HEAD GO DOWN?

Varun Gandhi is a hero, his release will be the nail in coffin of Maya and gang by Unsecular on 17 Apr 2009

Well done Varun, your next step, along with your promise in that fateful speech, is to demolish the friends of the enemy, i.e., Maya Lalu Mulyam gangs.

Indian Democracy - The biggest Joke by MrRevolution on 17 Apr 2009

Our system trains us to be corrupt no matter at what level we are in the society. I lost faith in our democracy over 30 years ago and immigrated to US. Nothing has changed between then and now. God bless India.

Misuse of power by state is a dangerous trend by AKK on 17 Apr 2009

Use of NSA in the name of law and order situation against Varun Gandhi was welcomed by most of the media. Then Chief Minister used law and order excuse to threaten Election Commission. Today the Chief Minister implied criticism of Supreme Court indicating the law and order problem will be created by his release. An IJP candidate is murdered and police declares it suicide immediately without even completing the investigation. A case is filed against Sanjay Dutt while the Prime Minister speaking to urdu journalist a few days back expressed the same sentiment that minorities are suffering due to misuse of terror laws. Accepting misuse of power at will by the State is more dangerous than a few speeches which no one pays attention to. All the European dictators in world war II had started as socialist progressive champions of underprivileged. Unfortunately, Media whose main job should have been to keep watch on State and its functioning is keeping more watch on opposition as being called secularist is the most glamorous in fashion trend in our country. Just hope there will be a news paper like Indian Express in Emergency or public will silently teach a lesson to all those who have turned dictators due to power.

Y blame Varun by sreepathy on 17 Apr 2009

Am unable to find any mention/discussion about the findings of the SIT team appointed by the Supreme Court in the "secular media" on the activities of Ms Teesta Setalvad,the sole messiah of the Muslims and the arbiter of truth and justice.This lady along with other secular NGOs have levelled serious allegations which have all been proved to false and the witness doctored.Silence of the mainstream media is baffling least to say.Will this great secular lady be ever punished by the Supreme Court for false allegation and bringing shame to the country with her own set of concotted stories and lies like the Best Bakery case victim? Y is the media including the print media silent on this issue while Varuns' speech was/continues to be shown without any breaks for weeks. Dont they owe an apology to the nation and the people of Gujarat

DYNASTY RULE PROMOTED by B.N.MANDHAR on 17 Apr 2009

Priyanka advised Varun,her cousin brother to read Gita. In fact it is Priyanka who should read Gita for promoting family dynasty NEHRU-INDIRA-RAJIV-SONIA-RAHUL-PRIYANKA possibly in near future on the same pattern as DHRITRASHTRA-DARYODHAN did leading to Gita being recited to Arjun. For Priyanka's information and those promiting dynastic rule like SHIELA-SANDEEP,SAJJAN-SON,BHAJAN LAL-SON,CHAUTALA-SON ETC.ETC.let them know that history of Bhagavad-gita is not 5000 years old from Mahabharata times. It is traced from a remote time when it was delivered to the royal order of all planets beginning from the sun planet. The kings of all planets are especially meant for the protection of the inhabitants, and therefore the royal order should understand the science of Bhagavad-Gita in order to be able to rule the citizens and protect them from the material bondage to lust. I HOPE SHE REVISES HER ADVICE TO HER COUSIN BROTHER VARUN IF SHE TREATS HIM AS SUCH BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTIONS ,2009. Thanks.

Varun/BJP/India by Mohinder Bains on 16 Apr 2009

Why every kid born in Nehru/Gandhi has to be a politician? Why cant they find any different career? Or is it too easy to use their forefathers names and get elected, whether you have any talents, brains, visision and ideas for India of 21st centurey or not? Neither Nehru nor Mahatma Gandhi stood for any dirty communal politics of present day BJP and Sangh Privar play with Indians, nor they would have any tolerance for deplorable acts such as demolition of Babri Masjid, and genocide of Muslims at Godhra, and Anti-Sikh, Christian riots in Delhi, Bihar, Karela, UP etc. Varun has disgraced the fair names of Nehru and Gandhu, and the voters should understand this. No wonder his mom was kicked out the Nehru household soon after Sanjay's death. Even Varun's father Sanjay was a radical, and reckless politician, who could even slap his own mother, Indira. We should remember how he did forcible Nasbandi operations, demolished various colonies of the poor. Sanjay's radicalism reflects in Varuns deplorable behavious, though he is wearing different badge of the BJP. He should actually join MNS led by Raj Thakre because his tactics are similarly parochial without any in depth ideas. People like Varun are the worst threat to mother India's Unity to whom they pretend to protect. Pitching various communities against each other would never help India, it would rather destroy India

Mayasuri not the ultimate authority in UP / India on laws by Deshbhakt on 16 Apr 2009

UP CM "Mayasuri" already seems to be in hallucination that she has become PM. She jailed Varun Gandhi sheer out of personal hatredness as she feared losing muslim votes going to SP if action was not taken gainst him. With the sole aim of attracting muslim votes, she slapped NSA on Varun Gandhi, which will not stand in court of law and I'm sure Supreme Court would quash the slapping of NSA on Varun Gandhi summarily. In addition the Supreme Court should issue a very stern warning to this "Mayasuri" who is indulging in threatening, extortion and murder of businessmen and opponents of BSP candidates in UP, for which she must be immediately arrested under the MCOCA and tried by a fast-track court and sentenced to RI for at least 6-10 years. Then her "asuri" character would certainly vanish.

Selective amnesia - biased news media by Ravi on 16 Apr 2009

Varuns arrest under NSA is a clear case of victimisation and political oppurtunism of Mayavathi and silent support of Congress.Time and again varun has denied the sppech was derogatory and the case was fabricated but the Congress agent Election Commissioner is bent upon spoiling any chances for BJP to come back to power and he prooved his loyality to Italian boss.If hindus are not united and Hindu religous leaders keep their silence then India will become another Afghan.Spiritual leaders like Sri Sri Ravisankar,mata Amrithanandamayi,Sankaracharya and others should either speak right now against this attrocities or go back to Himalayas instead of exploiting the sentiments of people and making money from poor Hindus.

Infringement of fundamental Rights of a TRUE Indian by kumar on 16 Apr 2009

Decision of the SC to release VARUN only on a parole is NOT ACCEPTABLE and is simply furtherence of humiliation already meted out to him. All democratic citizens should condemn this abominable act of victimization of an innocent, who has several times denied having made any derogatory speech. VARUN was not given any fair hearing either by police or state nor the S COURT. All are competing with each other to play into the gallery of pseudo-secularists and muslim fundamentalists. HINDUS should oppose this senseless and crafty use of law to frame innocent hindus. The use of undemocratic means by so called law makers and law protectors in order to terrorize and subjudicate hindus is condemnable. ARE HINDUS SLAVES IN INDIA? DO THEY HAVE NO VOICE? SHOULD NOT ANY HINDU ORGANISATION SPEAK FOR HINDUS? THEN WHAT IS THE USE OF HINDU ORGANISATION WHICH CANNOT PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF HINDUS? IS INDIA RULED BY MOGHALS, AURANGAZEB, BABARS, GHORIS, TIPPU, GHAZNIS, TALIBANS ? NO DOUBT THEIR LEGACY IS

Great threat to India from Illegal Bangladeshis !!. by skg on 16 Apr 2009

Instead of saying that Varun is a threat to nation and putting him Jail, the UP government , Bengal government and congress government should deport all the illegal bangladeshis instead of appeasing them by giving Indian citizenship and expanding their vote bank.Can congress, BSP, CPI-(M) stop importing Bangladeshi's into India to expand their vote bank.Real threat to India is ISI, and terror groups operating in Bangladesh and Pakistan. If congress and Mayawati has guts, they should do some thing about these groups instead of threatening Varun .

Varun's speech by Arun Gupta on 16 Apr 2009

Varun's episode has created a flutter in political circles in the country.The entire hype was created by media and the politicians fell in the trap of media. Varun is a novice and could have said the words against a community at the spur of the moment. There are many old leaders who talk on communal lines and still roaming scot free. One is communal if he is not treating all the religions on equal footing.Indians must learn the game plan of the leaders who talk about religion rather than development.Every Indian should protest the efforts of leaders who talk in terms of religion and distract the attention from real issues.Arun Gupta

Well deserved slap to pseudo-secular politics by Jay K on 16 Apr 2009

SC has done the right thing by releasing Varun. All pseudo-secular folks should answer why Rajiv Gandhi's statement - "When a large tree falls earth shatters" in support of anti-Sikh rights or recent statement of AP Cong president's statement that he would cut hands of those....." don't get criticised. There is selective appeasement and victimization and that is nothing but pseudo-secularism
