leave peacefullyBy: Golmal Weekly | Friday , 17 Oct '08 4:30:35 AM Reply | Forward Killing innocents is never a way. Hindus claim that india belong to them only, let me ask one thing, even aryans migrated to india and before that there were some indigenous tribals residing, whom aryans made slaves. after that muslims came to india and made hindus slaves ( If barber not happen to be secular, you would have only read hindusim in history books, later akbar adopted his father policy) and after that christian came to india (britishers) and they made both hindus and muslims and other parties slaves. So how can hindu say that india belong to them, even they are in same line as muslims and christians. Only because they are in majority they can claim anything they want. but they are minority in entire world. Only india has hindu population in the world. Most part of the world, no body recognizes Hinduism as religion where else Christianity and Islam is spread all over the world. what if other religions of the world consider you as alien religion and try to kill your people

SecularismBy: Secular | Saturday , 18 Oct '08 11:10:48 AM Reply | Forward Christian historians world over have confirmed there was no Aryan invasion or anything like that. Hindus are native to the land. Just read history and shut up you ignoramus.

unfortunateBy: ss | Friday , 17 Oct '08 15:47:47 PM Reply | Forward Hinduism is the "oldest living major tradition"- the integral part of Indian culture which has withstand perhaps the largest no of foreign invaders may be political or cultural. It has rather welcomed every thoughts and taught all of them a lesson of tolerance.Only Hindus don't have a concept that â€œTheirâ€™s is the true religion and they worship true Godsâ€. A Hindu can boastfully say that â€œOne aim but different waysâ€- A major school of thought in Hinduism that incorporates tolerance towards diverse religious thoughts. Hinduism can accept all the tribals with all their indigenous cultures in to its lap but can Christianity dare to do this? Conversions in India are not only highly unethical â€“ that is, using unethical means of conversion â€“ but also that they threaten a whole way of life, erasing centuries of tradition, customs, wisdom, teaching people to despise their own religion and look westwards to a culture which is alien to them, with disastrous results.

Orissa violenceBy: Shivkumar | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 15:24:13 PM Reply | Forward Yes Bajrang Dal and VHP are' true' nationalists that is why they are damaging the country in the name of hinduism while their muslim and christian counterparts act in the name of religion.It is time that all such people realise that India belongs to everybody, be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or others, whehter secular or fundamenatlist so long they behave themselves.Otherwise, our country is heading for a very serious confrontation which would prove disastrous for the country and its millions of innocent citizens.Yeh Hindu, Muslim, Christian, whatever your religion or faith, remember if India lives we all live so get out of ur petty mould and stop hating each other.

Since long, All decent Indians watching the unethical conversion tactics of christian missionaries too!!By: KMR Overseas | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 15:13:01 PM Reply | Forward Secular democracy is not a blank cheque for minorities to embark on conversions. It appears Secular fabric in India is under hostage of missionaries. Misusing the constitutional privileges by so called minorities must be stopped before law and order goes out of hand.

Finally the Secular GestureBy: Krishna6000 | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 14:57:40 PM Reply | Forward Why u people of so much worried on Patnaik finally try to make attempt to become the secular democrat? Its after all good for the state and country's harmony. Why nowadays people are becomming so ruthless religious centric and become more violent and lose focus of humanity? Let me tell you any country puts religious fanatics first rather than humanity will not prosper. Any religion teaches respects and love to the humanity and not war against them. Why people always misunderstands their own religious beliefs?

Orissa gets a look at the Naveen 'Secular' PatnaikBy: Prasad | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 12:48:29 PM Reply | Forward So the Indian Express seems to be very happy that Patnaik is distancing itself rom the Parivasr. IE and Shekhar Gupta are often living in fools paradise. BJD was with the BJP and Parivar and it will remain so. Neiwther the Parivar / BJP nor BJD requires certificates of being secular from pro minority and totally biased newspaper like the Indian Express

Weak BJP leadershipBy: Jacob | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 10:24:34 AM Reply | Forward When Vajpayee was in full control , moderates in BJP had full control and the party enjoyed popular support. Now with the violent sections of Hindu fundamentalists taking control , it is quite natural that the BJP is going to lose its closest allies. The top BJP leadership has become too weak to take on these extremist elements in their organisations and so they are singing the same violent tune.
