BJP should keep off stagnant Hindutva

Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose ill-health has rendered him inactive for the past few years, was a deeply contemplative political leader. It’s not just that he was an incomparable orator, but his speeches were carriers of his carefully expressed thoughts. In private conversations, he became increas ....Read more

BJP has become pseudo secular nonsense party...By: Ashish Tiwari | Monday , 24 Aug '09 9:14:33 AM Reply | Forward BJP was a growing party till 1994 because it stood and spoke aggressively for Hindus and against psuedo-secularism. But since it has comprosimed on its agenda to stay in power which even congress has never done before. Instead of speaking and talking about Hindu interests BJP leaders have openly started to look after their own intersts. Installing Vajpayee as PM was the biggest mistake this party could do, and it was done just to come to power. Vajpayee has destroyed this party. Now, Hindus see the same tendencies in BJP as seen in any other common politician..so the party with a 'difference' has become the same as others. So its no surprise BJP voters stay at home during elections and have abandoned it. Why this simple thing is so difficult to understand that BJP voters do not want BJP to look be a second Congress. They do not want secularim. BJP voters want it to take a hard and agressive stand against the rising Muslim appeasement and Islamic imperialism.

HindutwaBy: ramesh karnik | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 17:02:43 PM Reply | Forward hindutva is under attack by jurnos. Fine,then,what is Kashmiriyat? why no criticism? what is Britishness? why france bans burqa and says not acceptable? isnt it a kind of Frenchiyat? The Americans have their own concept of melting pot/salad bowl. So, for Indians what is It? If Hindutva is offensive, can we rephrase it 'Indianness'? (We love everything English!) Then let us try and bring Indianness

Is It stagnant Hindutva or Stagnant HinduBy: Manindra chauhan | Thursday , 25 Jun '09 14:55:44 PM Reply | Forward Is it reasonable that an election defeat means a defeat for a whole philosophy. How can you expect Mr.kulkarni that just a mere defeat should alter a whole principle which brought you and people like me from nowhere to here. Today, even if you ever dreamt of success before elections that is because,numerous of people lost a generation of theirs to bring on the verge of success.Do you think does a loss of yours stands in balance,any how to their loss or to term it in a better way homage for "rashtra yajna". How can we the by-products of that "yajna" question the very fire used to light that "Yajna".

NATIONAL INTEGRATION CAN BE GOT ONLY BY REMOVING CASTE AND RELIGION BASED RESERVATION AND SPECIAL TRBy: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 23:27:27 PM Reply | Forward Hindutwa is a way of life and religion like, ISLAM FOR MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANITY FOR CHRISTIANS. Why should BJP or Hindus abandon Hindutwa to please others. People who propose leaving Hinutwa are only enemies of Hindus. In fact Hinus must unite and make others to cooperate with the government to enforce UNIFORM CIVIL CODE, Corruption-free governance, remove all caste based and religion based reservations etc to ensure NATIONAL INTEGRATION WHICH IS THE NEED OF THE HOUR. Instead of this people and power-greedy politicians are trying to divide the country and create problems.B S GANESH, BANGALORE

Ye Hindutva kya hota hai?By: Prasanna | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 19:26:02 PM Reply | Forward Hindutva ka matlab hai "voting se door rahana"; not using your voting rights.Hindu is the one who says "are sub candidates chor hai. Kisko vote denge?" Actually this means he considers only himself to be purest of all and declares all others to be unfit to be his representitive. So the Hindu does not vote.Hindu is the one who craves for handsome Raja or more so for the beautiful Rani. Hindu wants the Raja or Rani or their son or dauther or grand childrens to rule over him forever. Hindu is the one who does not care what the Raja is doing for his or nations benefit. He believes their photo sessions would crate a great image for India in the world. modern Hindu is the one who has utter disrespect for age or wisdom and so he throws out PMs like Vajpayee citing reasons that "ye to chal bhi nahi sakata". Hamare naye prince ki chaal to dekho!! Kitna handsome hai.So hindus, you have got what you deserve.60 years of Congress rule with still the same infrasturcutre that British created

Kulkarni's storyBy: arun kumar | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 16:35:02 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Vajpayee's personal remark should have been quoted after approval. IE must check authanticity of remarks made by a living dignitary. There is nothing offensive about remark,what Vajpayee meant that Hindusim where a person first thinks himself a Hindu and not an Indian is stagnant, same as those Muslims who think themselves as Muslims first and Indian later have no right to demand any status in sovereign India."Religion" can not precede Nantionality". Unfortunately in India not only religion but even cast, tribe are above nationalism because of Vote Bank policy and Congress is the worst offender. Gandhiji wanted to dismantle Congress Party after Independence as he knew that after tasting power and money, people will forget sacrifices and become corrupt.Appeasement of minorities, and casts created an anti feeling - called "Hindutva" which had nothing to do with its actual meaning.One who know "Cause and Effect theory" wil agree that there could be "no fire without a spark".

No one stops you from converting to your favorite religionBy: Hary Nambiar | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 16:21:38 PM Reply | Forward Sudheendra Kulkarni - Nobody, except you probably, has the kind of hatred towards Muslims in the manner you have highlighted. While the ideologies, methods, practices and procedures the Indian people followed from ancient times have contributed to peace and social discipline, the principles and teachings of other religions have not prevented them from being selfish, violent, tyrannical, murderers. Christians and Muslims have violated human rights, stolen properties and massacred millions of people all over the world in the last thousand years. Poor people are enslaved in their societies organized in the model of pyramids. Only you see Hindu ideology as stagnant. I recommend that you covert to your favorite religion if that suited you. Otherwise you better SHUT UP. Close the door behind you while you leave.

UTTER CONFUSIONBy: Anand | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 14:57:33 PM Reply | Forward The BJP and the RSS are itself now confused as to what Hindutva actually means ? For the BJP, the Hindutva ranting has just become an election eve slogan and for the RSS, Hindutva denotes different things at different times. They cite the Supreme Court ruling and cite that it is not related to any religion and it is just a way of life. But if indeed Hindutva is a way of life, why should one keep on repeating it ? If the BJP indeed had secured around 150 seats, then all hell would have broken loose and the Party and RSS would have claimed it as a victory for the Party's ideology and economic policies. But after two consecutive defeats and the Party licking its feet, the tone has changed and there seems to be a terrible confusion as to what ideology to pursue forward.

Advani- the dumbest pseudo secularist in the nation!By: Rajendra K. Gupta | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 6:12:52 AM Reply | Forward Vajpayee's dumb question to an imbecile crony, Yeh Hindutva kya hota hai?, explains why the BJP lost in 2004. Vajpayee was an utterly ingrate beneficiary of the Ayodhya movement that he opposed; and then he sought to marginalize and disrespect the very people who had brought him to power. The story of BJP's disasters of 2004 and 2009 is the story of the betrayal of the assertive Hindutva, as reflected in the Ayodhya movement, first by Vajpayee, and then even more grievously by Advani, one of the worst, and by far the dumbest, pseudo secularist in the nation. Arun Jaitley is a gifted campaign strategist; but no one, but no one, could have sold Advani, and the malignant tumor on his back Kulkarni, to the Hindu voters. The BJP would get nowhere until it get rids of Advani, and begins in earnest to court the Hindu voters. The time has come to start the movement to actually build a magnificent Ram temple in Ayodhya, far more agnificent than the one destroyed by the Muslim vandal Babar.

Morally Bankrupt Dhimmis!By: Rajendra K. Gupta | Tuesday , 23 Jun '09 6:07:17 AM Reply | Forward Since when a dhimmi insect like Kulkarni gets to decide what the historical place of a giant like Veer Savarkar should be? Hindutva is a vibrant, holistic, and assertive celebration of the Hindu identity against the predatory bigots. The stagnation exists only in the minds of the dhimmis and the pseudo secularist thugs. Whether or not the word Hindutva is used, the protection of Hindu well being and pride from the predatory bigots has always been the raison dâ€™etre for the RSS, the Jan Sangh, and the BJP. Integral Humanism and Gandhian Socialism are utopian visions that have little irrelevance in the post economic reforms, and post Pokhran II, India. Today, BJP's core ideology should be competitive free enterprise, free international trade and investment, modernity, and assertive Hindutva! And the Hindu voters need a complete clarity of vision, not 'conflicting interpretations' of Hindutva, as this sick imbecile Kulkarni suggests
