Quite often I keep calling people who speak about Hindutva, religious Jingoists, intolerant mavericks etc.., but truly speaking I am one too. And I guess its time Hindus shed their pseudo secularist attitudes and think beyond their personal interests, into the interests of the religion.
The question we are asking today (If I can use the Rajdeep Sardesai phrase) is – “Are we Hindus too lenient about our religion?”
The bomb blast at the Sankat Mochan temple yesterday took lives of over 20 people and more importantly shattered the belief of a number of Hindus. This may not be the first such context to discuss about the atrocities against Hindus and Hinduism if one can remember the blasts in Delhi a day before Diwali or the Akshardham attack. I bet no one can dismiss these acts calling them as separate and disconnected, a closer look would clearly show that a definite pattern is emerging – A pattern that is indicating the eventual attack on the entire religion.
Just like the previous instances these attacks will also be quickly forgotten and people all over will get involved in their daily chores, trying to make this country and the planet a better place. Not that I am against that but, before doing that why don’t we remind ourselves about our basic responsibility, that towards our tradition and our religion. If we don’t do it now we won’t be left with any!

Religion, I really do not think many of us interpret it the right way and there lies the main problem.
If we, like Muslims, take up mass violence to solve this issue it won’t result in anything better than a catastrophe. Rather, we should look at forming a full-enabled, highly funded intelligence totally dedicated for protecting the religion, which if required should terminate the key forces working against it.
My Blog was an attempt to wake up people from their slumber at least to a state where they would realize that there's a well conceived plan to destroy them.
Ultimately the goal is to keep the Hindu religion alive. The paths may be violent or not but should definitely not involve mass genocide of innocent people.
" we should look at forming a full-enabled, highly funded intelligence totally dedicated for protecting the religion, which if required should terminate the key forces working against it"
-How do you plan to terminate the forces working against Hindus, Hinduism and humanity in general.I also agree that mass genocide is not the way to treat the problem-Hitler did it effectively but he was wrong, Milosevic did it but he too was Bad...Now is there a method in their madness. Did these two have something in common, i feel yes both of them wanted ethnic cleansing for the long term benefit of their people. But i am not suggesting this, all i am saying is that we should not be backing off too much from using force as a possible alternative. It cuts them to size and puts them back to where they belong. Post Godhra, Muslims in India were not as loud as they're today when congress is busy appeasing them. During congress's tenure there have been communal clashes in Bhojshala(MP), Lucknow(UP), Mau(UP) and muslims across India have been creating scenes indulging in acts of arson, treason and what not. Why? Simple they've been given way too much freedom.
First of all, let’s stop treating Godhra as a successful case-study. It isn’t for it has tarnished the image of India as a secular country.
What we've got to realize before getting in to the discussion is that, officially no sensible governing body can go against any religion and if they do they would be the most foolish ones. If we have to help this situation, there is only one way- form an organization on the lines of ISI or CIA with brilliant infrastructure and funding from Hindus all over the world.
This would create a fear in the hearts of the perpetrators there by causing them to succumb.
After all, we can’t afford to ruin the economic boom in the country at the behest of ensuring Hindu supremacy.
"officially no sensible governing body can go against any religion and if they do they would be the most foolish ones"
Going on the same lines Officially no sensible giverning body can favor any religion more so in a "secular" country. Then whythe reservation fro muslims. If Godhra is not an achievement what is it? For the first time Hindus gave back the Green locusts a dose of their own medicine. Let's not forget that the assualt was staretd by them. We need no ISI and CIA to create fear in their hearts. When they act smart with stuff like the Varanasi bomb blast or the rioting about Cartoons you just have to cut them to size a.k.a Godhra. In old city (Hyderabad) people burnt Indian flags on that fateful Friday as they had no access to US flags. Speaks tons about their attitude dosen't it? we've RSS but unfortunataely the ideology of this body is interpreted by different people in different ways. They're not against muslims, they're agianst those muslims who are "fundmetalists". You see as Muslims continue to multiply like pigs we're busy looking the other way. Tell me how to tackle this?
hmmm looking forward to seeing kalyan up in arms ;)
