hindus are not communalBy: kiran | Monday , 20 Apr '09 13:48:41 PM Reply | Forward the so called CAG should understand that no hindu groups are communal.RSS and VHP are organizations working for the upliftment of hindus.if the CAG hates communalism so much,then ask obama to ban the catholic church first

VHP and RSS should be Banned Globally By: Praveen Gupte | Monday , 15 Dec '08 21:37:46 PM Reply | Forward It is no secret that the VHP and RSS remit funds from the US and Western Countries. These organisation must be banned globally - they seemed threatened by the spread of Christianity in India. South Asians in the US and the West must acknowledge thatthey have a good quality of life because of the Christian Values of the founding Fathers in the US ,Australia, New Zealand and Europe- Why do they have double standards and not want Indian to convert to a Christianity and live in an " Open Society" such as they enjoy.

Unnecessary reactions !By: vasu | Monday , 15 Dec '08 12:29:46 PM Reply | Forward Communal and Fundamentalist groups,to whatever religion they belong,are dangerous forour country.It does not require too much intelligence to understand this.In spite of thisit is amazing to read the comments on your website on this news clipping.Why should any of us hindus react so strongly to this newsitem ?

"Fundamentalism is the root of evil"By: hiren | Saturday , 13 Dec '08 3:02:14 AM Reply | Forward 1) I don't think CAG is ever asked to investigate all the militant groups in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan. This inquiry is requested by some MUSLIMs who are living in US and filed a petition to look into issue.2) VHP RSS and other pro Hindu organization do not attack in Pakistan and so called "MUSLIM". 3) In the name of poverty Christain and Islamic organizations in India have found a way to convert lot of poor people to believe in their religion. Hinduism is never in favor of preaching and converting against anyone's belief.4) The churches should have not been burnt in Orissa, but an outrage was created by Christian organization. Whoever was involved in that violence should be prosecuted.Only one phrase defines the terror going on around the world. "Fundamentalism is the root of evil"

pro hindu groups r good peopleBy: kirit shah | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 11:09:22 AM Reply | Forward some ngo in america is trying to influence the president elect obama to distant from hindu organisations. obama will be well advised to see thru the designs of such articulate personals. hindu people r amongst the most humble and restraintful by nature unless provoked. hindu people r hard working, sensitive and god fearing. obama should met the people from rss or such groups who seem to be associated with hindus in india(hindustan) before coming to any adverse opinion on such groups.

CAG and 'ProHindu Groups'By: slchowdhary | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 10:20:49 AM Reply | Forward That CAG is working against only 'Pro Hindu Group' is enough proof that the 'Pro Hindu Groups' are peace loving people. Let CAG dare to work against Congress, SIMI, Mulayam Singh, Lalu, Indian Mujahidin etc. and they will know what a terrorist group is. I think Mr. President Obama enqure into all fundings to foreign organisations and publish them to call bluff of CAG. The IE should stop calling CAG as a rights group. It is front for terrorist groups like SIMI, Teesta Setalvad etc. Hope Mr. President will enqure into this aspect also.

muslim terrorBy: rajtilak | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 9:01:23 AM Reply | Forward why is it that perpetrators of terror r muslims barring a few alleged incidents of now.why is it that a only section of indian muslims have condoned d mumbai attacks

Stop ColonizationBy: Baskaran | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 8:58:37 AM Reply | Forward I went to CAG's webpage and it is clear from the associations that it comprises that it is a pro-Muslim (which is OK) and anti-Hindu (I am a Hindu, proud of being a Hindu and live by the principle that God gave me my religion as He did give my neighbour his Christianity and my friend his Islam). These so-called NGOs are organizations that feed the ego of insecure psuedo-seculists who yearn for the limelight; the members of these organizations (I am aware of teh dnagers of generalization) are generally insecure, inept and incapable of any constructive effort. The world of terrorism has its roots in anti-dictatorship and people who continue to feel the oppressive yoke of colonists (the balck of the white; the world of the WASP American society; women of men; children of adults, and so on). Terrorism is political in anture and it is naive to give it a religious base; this is done by people who would perpetuate colonization.

CAG and Hindu Communal Forces of USBy: Raman | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 8:27:34 AM Reply | Forward If CAG has so much of a concern for humanity and lives of innocent people why it could not help US and its innocent citizens from being victims of terrorist attacks. What made CAG to decide on pro-Hindu organizations what is right and what is wrong? Attacking christians or muslims or hindus for that matter any human being is never the doctrine of any religion. The Almighty has not given any right to any human being to cause pain to a fellow human being. These fundamentalists are people who can not read between the lines but simply follow what a mullah or a pandit or some other person say. These Hindu fundamentalists should be contained like any terrorists. All the religions say The God is aq single entity and you can worship Him the way you want. So, why all this mess up with religion. The world is no good palce unless US take stringent action on all these blood-thirsty organisations and prevent another 9/11. We wish that honourable President -Elect would keep his election promise.
