Dubious credentials of the CAGBy: Kart | Monday , 8 Dec '08 19:28:56 PM Reply | Forward CAG is a group of Marxists/Leftists trying to gain cheap publicity in cohort with Muslim organizations who openly support terrorist organizations such as Hamas/Hezbollah but that part of it tends to be looked away. The only thing CAG seems to be worried about is the growth of fundamentalism in India. What happens to minorities in Pakistan/B'desh is nobody's concern. I don't know how can it be deemed a rights group by Indian Express when it is an openly biased group against Hindus.

Investigate these as well.By: VR | Monday , 8 Dec '08 22:20:54 PM Reply | Forward Then they should investigate 1000s of churches that send money to India to propagate religion and therefore unrest. They investigate the role of churches in Aceh. VHP, RSS are nothing compared to the Right wing Christian groups. The propaganda machine of the right wing in US is well known to brand others with names and make it to stick. Likely it did not work with Obama. So, he knows how these forces operate. Unfortunately for us Half the Indian politicians are either ignorant or partisan in that belief to ignore the threat to India from right wing christens. I live in US, I see how they salivate looking at the "potential" market in India and I am not talking about businesses looking at the consumer market.

Obama asked to inquire.By: Suren Sukhtankar | Monday , 8 Dec '08 18:01:31 PM Reply | Forward US Govt. can invetigate Ekal Vidyalaya Movement and VHP of America, till cows come home. They will not find anything objectionable. Yes, we are pro-Hindu, just the way Pat Robertson and late Jerry fallwell are (were) pro-christians. Jerry Fallwel called Mohamed a terrorist, and I personally think Late Fallwel was right about it. With Ekal Vidyalaya movement, we are aiding education and modernization of tribals, which was once upon a time a monopoly of Chritian missionaries; hence the heartburn. Any right thinking Hindu in USA will welcome this inquiry. I am sure US govt knows all about us; we have nothing to hide.

vhp fundingBy: john.p.abraham | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 4:11:56 AM Reply | Forward I admire Suren's candidness.Why not help the hindu groups if they are doing a good work.You can also argue that many christian groups are sympathetic to naxalite groups .the problem arises only when the VHP and Bajrang dal attack the muslims and christians.This does not fit into the social fabric. .If hindu groups are doing a good work they should continued to be supported.But do they stop there.If they start making bombs and cause communal tension what should be done.Yes,Obama should simultaneously be asked to see whether christian groups are causing communal tension in India.

hindu terrorismBy: prem | Tuesday , 9 Dec '08 2:01:36 AM Reply | Forward supporting religions is not in question here, supporting religious fundamentalists is the issue. it is like some tamils who support LTTE in srilanka. VHP and other hindu organizations that are terrorizing other religion people at india are to be branded as terrorist organizations for sure. the petition is really valid, makes sense, and US govt must keep an eye on those.

IMPORTANT NOTE - IE Please trace Suren Sukhtankar By: IMPORTANT | Monday , 8 Dec '08 23:48:59 PM Reply | Forward This is another radical terrorist here please trace and put a RAW/CBI enquiry against this persons contacts and links, sure this person has some links with RSS- Terrorist Organisation

Obama warned about Hindu groups!By: Ratan | Monday , 8 Dec '08 17:51:26 PM Reply | Forward These secular fundamentalists would not rise beyond their arm chair gaali baazi but would not let genuine social works to be supported by well meaning people. These cribbers should visit so called fundamentalist social works like Ekal vidyalay. They will be astounded by the work done for education with hardly any funds as compared to their missionary friends who are funded by billions of dollars.

HindusBy: D.A.Eswar | Monday , 8 Dec '08 17:39:14 PM Reply | Forward It is surprising how Media is happy and gloating over this type of news and seeking US intervention. Do we want India to become another Iraq with US intervention. For God's sake please stop this nonsense.Hindus never learnt to stand united in last 2000 years. That is why they were ruled by Muslims and Christians and now by Vatican Sonia Gandhi. I dont know when Hindus will get united and get Real Freedom where Hindus will be ruled by Hindus and in glory and in peace. Hindus were struggling and are still struggling

Pro Hindu Group LinkBy: Lakshmanan | Monday , 8 Dec '08 16:55:57 PM Reply | Forward VHP AND RSS should invite U.S. or any one interested to scrutinise their spend thoroughly so that we hindus can take pride these organisations do not bring bad name to our religion.
