Ram Nath Babu, By: Brahm Upadhyay | Friday , 3 Jul '09 20:02:25 PM Reply | Forward Ram Nath Babu, did you ever go to any school? Or did you only go to a madrassa like sanghi school? Every media of this country has been crying out loud about the atrocities committed by the taliban like sanghparivar members. These crimes are not related to us Hindus, but to certain persons with association with vhp,bajrang dal etc. and all of these organisations have long aped al-qaida. I am very correct when I state "we Hindus", because we are the ones in majority who kicked the rear side of these taliban like sanghis, because we did not vote their mouth piece the BJP into our parliament.

The need of the time is the unity of all secular forces to save IndiaBy: charan gill ,patiala | Friday , 3 Jul '09 18:31:35 PM Reply | Forward The interim report is in the right direction in search of multiple reasons behind the Kandhamal riots but the exploitation of vulnerable situations by the emboldened communal forces is beyond any doubt.These elements we all know worked shamelessly for the Britishers by being a tool in their hands.Thus dividing the people on communal lines these elements are the main danger for national unity and integrity which is the fundamental condition for our progress and even survival as a nation.If a william expresses himself then we can see here how rabidly these poisoned minds react.Total lack of Indianness is more than visible in their expressions.They are self proclaimed thekedars of hindus. They like to easily forget that their hate mongering version of politics has been recently drubbed in the Lok Sabha elections.They should learn now that outdated communal notions will not do in world today.The need of the time is the unity of all secular forces to save India.

@ Ram Nath Babu, then why did you sanghi lose?By: DR.COFFIN CHOR | Friday , 3 Jul '09 18:10:06 PM Reply | Forward Stupid, if 99.9% of us Hindus were with these taliban like sanghis then why did they lose the elections so heavily?The fact is, we Hindus and other well educated people do not like sanghis or al-qaida related talibans.

what is Kandhmal?By: arun kumar | Friday , 3 Jul '09 18:00:32 PM Reply | Forward Every city in India, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai - is a Kandhmal, spreading poison through its Elite Public Schools.Majority of the students from these schools look down on every thing that is connected with Indian heritage or pride. "Bhagat Singh was a politcal dacoit" was taught in one of such schools.During ragging at BITS, Pilani in 1974, after this answer from a fresher a senior slapped him, the case was referred to disciplinary commitee, guess what action could the committee take? By the way the answer came from a Sikh student.

the actual causeBy: Ram Nath Babu | Friday , 3 Jul '09 17:39:30 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Upadhaya,To whom you are saying, "We Hindus". A couple of you people do not make Hindu socieity. Nor the Sangh parivar directly involved in Kandhamal riots. You people sitting far away from Kandhamal do not understand what is going on there. It is a matter of local people vs. local people there, that too amongst tribals, to be more accurage between converted tribals and non-converted tribals. Learniong the christian missioneries plan to turn Kandhamal into a christian fort, Swami Lakshmananda and his disciplines started work there for the upliftment of the tribals. This was resisted by the maoists /christians and without any reason they killed swamiji and four others. This infuriated the non-converted tribals. Besides that the fake certificate and land grabbing free made the non-converted tribals to take arms and fight against the missioneries. Sitting back in MUmbai, Delhi or Kolkatta, you can make any comments.

Is ISI angle being igonored By: Vedic Indian | Friday , 3 Jul '09 17:27:25 PM Reply | Forward Maoist terrorists have openly admitted killing Swamiji. Our intelligence sources have also confirmed that Maoists have got links with the obnoxious ISI. Did ISI used Maoists to kill Swamiji so that communal violence could be instigated? ISI has attempted to do such things many times in the past (latest being sending Pakistani terrorists to attack India in Mumbai and then claiming "deccan" mujahideen is behind the attack). There have been so many instances in the past of atrocities committed by Pakistani terrorists in India those are claimed by "Indian" mujahideen. These are all clearly blatant attempts to polarize Indians on the basis of religion and instigate communal violence. The Kandhamal events should be investigated from this angle as well.

A proud HinduBy: Hindu | Friday , 3 Jul '09 17:21:30 PM Reply | Forward Stupid Niranjan is talking all bullshit.There existed caste but it was based on occupation

To Ram Nath BabuBy: Guruji | Friday , 3 Jul '09 17:16:44 PM Reply | Forward Ram nath, how do you know "99%" of hindus are with sangh parivar?? Did you do any survey? If 99% hindus are with sanghis then how come your party got the electoral drubbing that it deserved. Stop pretending to be the sole custodian of my religion. You people have nothing to represent me or any sensible hindu. We don't need a bunch of hate preaching murderers, rapists and arsonists living in their wells and caves to represent us.

Coffin ChorBy: Ram Nath Babu | Friday , 3 Jul '09 17:04:42 PM Reply | Forward Coffin Chor,99% of true Hindus are okay with Sangh parivar. It doesn't make any difference if one or two jaichands like you turn against them. BJP may have several flaws, but if there is one party thyat support the cause of Hindus, if there is one party that doesn't belive in hurting the feeling of majority hindus (e.g. denying of existence of Lord Ram, belittling the importance of ram sethu etc)that it BJP only. We damn care about your views on Sanghis. Let your views be kept with you only.
