What is the essence of Hinduism? What does tolerance mean?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   The essence of Hinduism is its pluralism, in which tolerance is a by-product. This pluralism is expressed in a shloka made famous by Swami Vivekanand during his tour of the West at the time of the World Parliament of Religions in 1893. The shloka goes as follows: ekam sad viprah bahudda vadanti. It is translated by him in English as follows: &quot;That which exists is One, sages call It by various names&quot;. In short it means that each person has a unique way towards salvation, which is best suited for him/her.To be able to do this, each person has to generate his own spiritual experience. One may take advice from gurus, friends, books, etc. But, one has to apply one&#39;s own mind and come to a conclusion of suitability of a path for one&#39;s ownself, and one takes the responsibility for the decision. Tolerance means that while one has chosen a path for oneself, one accepts that another may chose a different path, and that eventually both will meet at the same place in salvation. This tolerance is the reason why there have been infinitesimally small religious strife in India throughout the ages.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)&quot;&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:5px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;    If people convert due to spiritual reasons, should there be any objection?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   When there is true spiritual conversions, there is no objection. This happens when the person does it on his own inquiry, and not motivated by another to make a study. For example, a person who has some emotional problems, may make a change if approached by a missionary. This cannot be called a spiritual conversion.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   True spiritual conversion implies that a person not only understands the new religion well, but also that he is well-acquainted with his present one. In this way, he will be able to understand why the religion of his forefathers does not give him the spiritual satisfaction that he will find in his new religion. At the same time, since a man or a woman is always seeking to go on a higher spiritual plane, such a change becomes an enlightened one.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   Such an inquiry can be done by one who is materially contented, and one who has the necessary education to make the inquiry. It was in this context that Mahatma Gandhi said to the missionaries that before converting the poor, they should first convert him. They did not pick up the challenge because they knew that the Mahatma had done sufficient study of Christianity and had found that his own dharma was adequate for his purpose.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:5px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-size:16px;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;3. Hinduism is a pluralistic philosophical concept. Why should there be an objection to conversions?&lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   In a pluralistic society – one that believes in multiple paths of salvation – accommodating another religion is not a problem. In this respect, Hinduism has a unique record. It was only in a Hindu land that Jews were never persecuted due to religious reasons. Similarly, the holiest place for the Parsis is in a Hindu land. The earliest Christian arrivals in India in the 4th century were what are called Syrian Christians. All of them came because of religious persecution in their land of origin.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   Followers of all the three religions prospered not only in terms of their religion, but also in social and economic terms. This happened because they accepted the civilisational norms of the Hindu society,and worked within its parameters. They did not try to convert, or propagate that their system was better than the ones of their host. The tensions started when first Islam and then Christianity came here with the power of sword, and tried to subjugate the Hindus of the land.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;   A pluralistic society works in harmony only when all the members accept the norms of pluralism.However, when one tries to dominate another, then the problem starts. Conversions is a method of trying to dominate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:rgb(255, 255, 255);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:17px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)&quot;&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:5px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:5px;padding-left:0px;font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;text-align:justify;line-height:13pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)&quot;&gt;

This Mughal-Muslim state in the Indian subcontinent will include all of North India and Eastern India, and will be formed by merging Pakistan and Bangladesh through a large corridor of land running across the Indo-Gangetic plain, the heartland of India. This Mughalistan corridor will comprise Muslim-majority areas of Northern India and eastern India that will be partitioned for the second time in history.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;The comprehensive plan for a second partition of India was first developed by the Mughalstan Research Institute (MRI) of Jahangir Nagar University (Bangladesh) under the patronage of the two intelligence agencies, Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and Bangladesh’s Director General of Forces Intelligence, DGFI. The “Mughalistan Reaserch Institute of Bangladesh” has released a map where a Muslim corridor named “Mughalistan” connects Pakistan and Bangladesh via India.&lt;br /&gt;
The Pakistani Punjabi-dominated ISI’s influence on MRI is evident even in the Punjabi-centric pronunciation of the word ‘Mughalstan’ (without the “i”), instead of the typical Urdu pronunciation (Mughalistan). Islamic Jihadis in India have been well-armed and well-funded by the neighbouring Islamic regimes, as part of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=operation%20topac&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: silver; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #515151; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Operation Topac&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;– the late Pakistani President Zia-ul-Haq’s grandiose plot to balkanize India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Not surprisingly, Osama Bin Laden has thrown his support behind the concept and creation of this Greater Pakistan to “liberate” the Muslims of India from the Hindus. The Mumbai underworld (led by Karachi-based don Dawood Ibrahim who executed the gruesome 1993 Mumbai bombings), Jamaat-e-Islami, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen have declared their unified support for creating this undivided Islamic nation in the Indian subcontinent. The Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Indian Mujahideen are working in tandem with the aforementioned organizations to waged Jihad against the Hindus of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;It is important to note that in its “holy war” against India, the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba has openly declared Hindus to be the “enemies of Islam” who should all be converted or killed. The Lashkar-e-Tayyaba group has repeatedly claimed through its journals and websites that its main aim is to destroy the Indian republic and to annihilate Hinduism. Jaish-e-Mohammed has vowed to “liberate” not just Kashmir, but also to hoist the Islamic flag atop the historic Red Fort after capturing New Delhi and the rest of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;SIMI has championed the “liberation of India through Islam” and aim to restore the supremacy of Islam through the resurrection of the Khilafat (Islamic Caliphate), emphasis on the Muslim Ummah (Islamic) and the waging of Jihad on the Indian state, secularism, democracy and nationalism – the basic keystones of the Indian Constitution – as these concepts are antithetical to Islam. The Indian Mujahideen have sent several emails claiming responsibility for several bombings in Lucknow, Varanasi and Faizabad (in Uttar Pradesh), Bangalore, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and New Delhi in 2007 and 2008. The emails refer to notorious Islamic conquerors of India (Mohammed bin Qasim, Mohammad Ghauri and Mahmud Ghaznawi) as their role-models, refer to Hindu blood as “blood to be the cheapest of all mankind” and taunt Hindus that their “[Hindu] history is full of subjugation, humiliation, and insult [at the hands of Islamic conquerors]“.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;The Indian Mujahideen’s emails warn the Hindus to “Accept Islam and save yourselves” and or else face a horrible fate: – “Hindus! O disbelieving faithless Indians! Haven’t you still realized that the falsehood of your 33 crore dirty mud idols and the blasphemy of your deaf, dumb, mute and naked idols of ram, krishna and hanuman are not at all going to save your necks, Insha-Allah, from being slaughtered by our [Muslim] hands?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; color: #515151; font-size: 2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 2em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;310&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/Copy%20of%20map.jpg&quot; width=&quot;326&quot; /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; color: #515151; font-size: 2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 2em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Background&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Pakistan’s emergence in 1947 was as a “mutilated, truncated, moth-eaten Pakistan, in M.A. Jinnah’s own words, because the Muslim League’s original plan did not envisage the partition of Punjab and Bengal. Today, Mughalistan is Jinnah’s dream come true.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;The Partition of India provided temporary respite to the Indians and merely postponed the inevitable outcome. By 1971, all across Sindh, Western Punjab, Gandhara (Kandahar) and Eastern Bengal, the native populations of the Indian Religionists (Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains) have been wiped out almost entirely by conversion, massacre and mass exodus. Extrapolating this scenario, we find ominous results. This Islamic beach-head, which squeezes India from both sides (Pakistan and Bangladesh), gradually links up with a Fifth Column within India and gains fresh territorial and demographic victories within the last two decades (Kashmir valley, several districts of West Bengal and Assam, Malappuram district in Kerala and the Hyderabad-Deccan region). The Islamic Anschluss creeps steadily and bloodily, until the Western beach-head (Pakistan) is linked up demographically with the Eastern beach-head (Bangladesh) through the formation of a Islam-dominated belt called “Mughalstan”, that will then run through Jammu, Mewat, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; color: #515151; font-size: 2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 2em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;It is an open secret that wherever the Muslims are in a majority, the rights and freedom of the non-Muslims are severely curtailed. Take for example Kashmir. It’s the only state in India which is a Muslim majority and let us see what happened there. Hundreds of temples were razed, Hindus were forced to flee, their women were raped, children were killed and houses forcibly occupied.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kashmir-information.com/ConvertedKashmir/&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: silver; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #515151; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The entire Kashmiri Hindu population (known as Kashmiri Pandits) having been driven away, killed or converted between 1990 and 2000 in a silent, mass genocide.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Muslims in Kashmir have been enjoying a special status under Constitution’s Article 370, hardly any central law is enforced there, the number of income-tax payers is among the lowest and unlike other poor states, J&amp;amp;K gets 90 per cent central financial assistance as grants and only 10 per cent as loans. Still there are complaints that a ‘Hindu central government discriminates’. The other minority, Buddhists mostly located in Ladakh, too, are harshly treated and discriminated against by the mainly Sunni Muslim governance in Srinagar. The Buddhist Association, Leh, has been submitting memorandums to the central government about how Buddhist youths are denied jobs and a fair chance to join the Kashmir Administrative service and professional colleges in spite of clearing the entrance exams. The number of Buddhist minorities is fast decreasing causing concern amongst their leaders. Even their dead are not allowed to be buried in Muslim-majority Kargil area and monasteries have been denied to be built. Leh district continues to see rampant conversions of Buddhist women to Islam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;397&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/jammuandkashmir-district-map.gif&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;The Kashmir Valley today has a 98 per cent Muslim population. Poonch district, which is contiguous with Pakistan, has a Muslim majority. Jammu district has seen regular attacks on Hindu civilians and temples. The Hindu-population of the adjacent district of Doda is being squeezed out by Islamic violence. As a result, Doda is now a Muslim-majority district, where the population ratio between the Muslims and the Hindus in Doda district is now 55:45. Doda town has a 90 per cent Muslim population. Out of the seven subdivisions, Banihal, Kishtwar and Balesa are Muslim dominated areas. Bhaderwah, Thathri and Ramban have a Hindu majority. In Ladakh, Kargil district has a Muslim majority.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; color: #515151; font-size: 2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 2em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Northern India&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;In the backward Mewat region of Haryana (and Rajasthan), Muslims form 66% of the local population. In 2005, the Congress (I) state government in Haryana quietly created a Muslim-majority district called Mewat, by vivisecting Gurgaon district. This move strengthened the clout of Islamic groups in the region. After all, it was in Haryana’s Mewat region in 1992, that Muslim mobs in Nuh town had hacked Hindus, destroyed Hindu temples and brazenly slaughtered cows openly on streets after seizing them from Gau Shalas (cow shelters). Today, the mass conversion of Hindu villagers to Islam, purchasing tens of thousands of Hindu girls for use as sex-slaves, cow-slaughter and social boycott of Hindus is common in Muslim families in Mewat.

Muslim attacks on Hindu religious processions, religious riots and bomb blasts are common place in UP as was seen in Mau, Ayodhya, Lucknow and Kanpur.

These large number of Madrassas, which serve as have come up in a disproportionate way and are not proportional to the Muslim population in the area. India’s Task Force on Border Management, in its report of October 2000, wrote about the ominous developments along the India-Nepal border: “On the Indo-Nepal border, Madrassas and mosques have sprung up on both sides in the Terai region, accompanied by four-fold increase in the population of the minority community in the region. There are 343 mosques, 300 Madrassas and 17 mosques-cum- Madrassas within 10 kilometres of the border on the Indian side. On the Nepal side, there are 282 mosques, 181 Madrassas and eight mosques-cum- Madrassas. These mosques and Madrassas receive huge funds from Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Managers of various Madrassas and Ulema maintain close links with the embassy officials of those countries located at Kathmandu. Financial assistance is also channelized through the Islamic Development Bank (Jeddah), Habib Bank of Pakistan and also through some Indian Muslims living in Gulf countries. Pakistan’s Habib Bank, after becoming a partner in Nepal’s Himalayan Bank, has expanded its network in the border areas including Biratnagar and Krishna Nagar. It is suspected that foreign currency is converted into Indian currency in Nepal and then brought to India clandestinely. Madrasas and mosques on the Indo-Nepal border are frequently visited by prominent Muslim leaders, Tablighi Jamaats (proselytizing groups) and pro-Pak Nepali leaders. Officials of Pak Embassy have come to notice visiting Terai area of Nepal to strengthen Islamic institutions and to disburse funds to them. Pro-Pak elements in Nepal also help in demographic subversion of the Terai belt.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h6&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;244&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/13zzpopulationbig.jpg&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;West Bengal and Assam: The Weakest Links in the ChainAccording to the 2001 census, the Muslim population is 28% of the total West Bengal population. In Assam, the Muslim population comprises atleast 31% of the total state population.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Arun Shourie wrote this in the Indian Express in 2004:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;“Muslims in India accounted for 9.9 per cent (of India’s population) in 1951, 10.8 per cent in 1971 and 11.3 per cent in 1981, and presumably about 12.1 per cent in 1991. The present population ratio of Muslims is calculated to be 28 per cent in Assam and 25 per cent in West Bengal. In 1991 the Muslim population in the border districts of West Bengal accounted for 56 per cent in South and North Parganas, 48 per cent in Nadia, 52 per cent in Murshidabad, 54 per cent in Malda and about 60 per cent in Islampur sub-division of West Dinajpur. A study of the border belt of West Bengal yields some telling statistics: 20-40 per cent villages in the border districts are said to be predominantly Muslim. There are indications that the concentration of the minority community, including the Bangladesh immigrants, in the villages has resulted in the majority community moving to urban centres. Several towns in the border districts are now predominantly inhabited by the majority community but surrounded by villages mostly dominated by the minority community. Lin Piao’s theory of occupying the villages before overwhelming the cities comes to mind, though the context is different. However, the basic factor of security threat in both the cases is the same.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Figures have been given showing the concentration of Muslim population in the districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh starting from 24 Parganas and going up to Islampur of West Dinajpur district and their population being well over 50 per cent of the population. The Kishanganj district (of Bihar) which was part of Purnea district earlier, which is contiguous to the West Bengal area, also has a majority of Muslim population. The total population of the districts of South and North 24 Parganas, Murshidabad, Nadia, Malda and West Dinajpur adds up to 27,337,362. If we add the population of Kishanganj district of Bihar of 986,672, the total comes to 28,324,034. (All figures are based on the 1991 Census.) This mass of land with a population of nearly 2.8 crores has a Muslim majority. The total population of West Bengal in 1991 was 67.9 million and of these, 28.32 million are concentrated in the border districts, with about 16-17 million population of minority community being concentrated in this area. This crucial tract of land in West Bengal and Bihar, lying along the Ganges/Hughly and west Bangladesh with a population of over 28 million, with Muslims constituting a majority, should give cause for anxiety for any thinking Indian.’’&lt;br /&gt;
And what if, from these figures, I had advanced two warnings. First,&lt;br /&gt;
‘‘There is a distinct danger of another Muslim country, speaking predominantly Bengali, emerging in the eastern part of India in the future, at a time when India might find itself weakened politically and militarily.’’&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/bengaljihad.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;And second that the danger is as grave even if that third Islamic State does not get carved out in the sub-continent into a full-fledged country? What if I had put that danger as follows?&lt;br /&gt;
‘‘Let us look at the map of Eastern India — starting from the North 24 Parganas district, proceeding through Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda and West Dinajpur before entering the narrow neck of land lying through Raiganj and Dalkola of Islampur sub-division before passing through the Kishanganj district of East Bihar to enter Siliguri. Proceed further and take a look at the north Bengal districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar before entering Assam, and its districts of Dhubri, Goalpara, Bongaigaon, Kokrajhar and Barpeta.

The demand for a ‘Muslim Banghboomi’ has already been raised, warns ex-MP B.L. Sharma (Prem). Traveling in West Bengal to check out certain atrocities against Hindus some years ago, his convoy was attacked by Bangladeshis. When demographer J.K. Bajaj and his colleagues prepared a mathematical model of the demographic challenge facing India, they found it exactly matched the map prepared by Bangladesh’s Mughalstan Research Institute.

He apologized for the indifference of the BJP Government which did not grant refugee status to Hindus fleeing oppression in Bangladesh. North Eastern Students Organisation chairman Samujjal Bhattacharya said all 49 tribal belts and blocks in Assam have been occupied by Bangladeshis.

The chief minister had adopted some steps to contain the menace when the BJP strongman L.K.Advani was the union home minister from 1998-2004. But his initiative has slackened after the installation of the UPA government at the Centre since 2004.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;In case the ramifications of the unfolding scenario are not yet clear to Indians, the bomb-blasts and religious riots are a roaring continuation of the 1400-year Jihad against India – an ongoing war that will culminate in the Islamisation of what’s left of Hindustan. Already the demographic battle is underway and the Mughalistan scenario looks feasible. The book “Religious Demography of India” published by A P Joshi, M.D. Srinivas and J K Bajaj of the Centre for Policy Studies (CPS), Chennai, reveals that in 2001, Muslims comprise over 30% of the total population in the Indian-subcontinent (comprising India, Pakistan and Bangladesh). The total Muslim population zoomed from 12.5% (1991) to 30.3% (2001), in just 10 years (from ex-IAS officer V.Sundaram’s article in “News Today”:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://newstodaynet.com/2006sud/06mar/2903ss1.htm&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: silver; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #515151; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deathly Demographic warnings for India&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/Decad01.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;According to the 2001 census report, Indian population is 1,027,015,247.3. Of this, 1.5 crore people are Bangladeshi infiltrators who are living in India. The Intelligence Bureau has reportedly estimated, after an extensive survey, that the present number is about 16 million. The August 2000 report of the Task Force on Border Management placed the figure at 15 million, with 300,000 Bangladeshis entering India illegally every month. It is estimated that about 13 lakh Bangladeshis live in Delhi alone. It has been reported that one crore Bangladeshis are missing from Bangladesh [August 4, 1991, Morning Sun] and it implies that those people have infiltrated into India. These infiltrators mainly settle in the north-east India and in West Bengal. This is shown by the fact that there has been irregular increase in the Muslim population in these states and many of the districts have become Muslim majority. The proportion of Muslims in Assam had increased from 24.68 per cent in 1951 to 30.91 per cent in 2001.Whereas in the same time period the proportion of Muslims in India increased from 9.91 per cent to 13.42 per cent. In West Bengal, the Muslim population in west Dinajpur, Maldah, Birbhum and Murshidabad 36.75 per cent, 47.49 per cent, 33.06 per cent and 61.39 per cent respectively, according to 1991 census.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;This has not only caused the burden on the Indian economy, but also threatens the identity of the indigenous people of the north-east of India. In Tripura, another north-eastern state of India, the local population has been turned into a minority community over a short period of time by the sheer numbers of cross-border migrants from Bangladesh. In 1947, 56 per cent of Tripura’s population consisted of tribal (or indigenous) population. Today this stands at a 25% of the total. In many districts these infiltrators are the one who decides the outcome of elections. Outcomes of the 32 per cent of Vidhan Sabha seats in Assam and 18 per cent of seats in West Bengal are decided by them. This is due to the fact that political parties are helping them to get ration cards and voters ID and hence using them to win elections.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;According to the report, at present there are 80 lakh Bangladeshi infiltrators in Bengal, 55 lakh in Assom, 4 lakh in Tripura and 5 lakh in Bihar (Katihar, Purnia and Kishenganj districts) and Jharkhand(Sahebganj district). As far as West Bengal is concerned, the concentration of infiltrators is quite marked in the border districts like North and South Dinajpur, Cooch Behar, Nadia, Murshidabad, Malda and North and South 24 Parganas. The affected areas in Assom are Dhubri, Goalpara, Karimganj and Hailakandi, while a similar scenario is noticeable in Kailashar, Sabrum, Udaipur and Belonia areas in Tripura. Pakistan’s ISI is believed to have a hand behind this large-scale infiltration which has been playing havoc with the economy of Bengal and Assam. Home ministry sources say Harkat-ul-Jehadi-Islami(HUJI), the dreaded militant outfit active in Bangladesh, has succeeded in sending a large number of militants along with the infiltrators to West Bengal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;The Home ministry had laid stress on an early completion of barbed-wire fencing along the borders with Bangladesh. Of the 2216 km-long border the fencing could be completed only along 1167 km till 2007. The continuous infiltration has brought about serious demographic changes to Bengal’s border areas and made the border-map, drawn after the 1974 Indira-Mujib agreement, somewhat irrelevant. The Centre has consequently sought a detailed report from the state government on changes in the population pattern in 66 blocks of nine border districts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/District01.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;DGFI &amp;amp; ISI Plan To Capture West Bengal and Assam Through Vote Machinery&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;To facilitate Mughalistan and the concomitant partition of India and Bengal, the DGFI-ISI have jointly planned to change the demography of West Bengal and Assam on a priority basis.&lt;br /&gt;
As many as 53 out of 294 Assembly constituencies in West Bengal have a high concentration of voters who happen to be illegal Muslim from Bangladesh. Similarly, the fate of 40 Assembly seats in Assam depends on the votes cast by illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators. All this has been revealed by a recent report of the union home ministry on infiltration from India’s neighbour. The report has been prepared on the basis of facts and figures provided by the Task Force on Border Management and Assam’s former governor S.K. Sinha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;As such the Bangladeshi Muslims can control the West Bengal Assembly, and dictate terms to the state government of West Bengal in all respects. The picture of plight of majority Hindu electorates worsened in the State, as Muslim electorates have a clear majority in three districts viz. Malda, Murshidabad &amp;amp; North Dinajpur and 63 (sixty three) blocks in West Bengal. Again, an analysis upon the projection into the 2001 Census hints at abnormal Muslim growth everywhere in West Bengal, where the Muslim population is 28% of the total state population.&lt;br /&gt;
There are at least 5 powerful Muslim ministers in the West Bengal state cabinet: Abdur Rezzak Mollah (Minister of Land &amp;amp; Land Reforms), Anisur Rahaman (Minister of Animal Resources Development), Mortaja Hossain (Minister of Agriculture, Marketing &amp;amp; Relief, Minster of State), Anarul Haque (Minister of State for Public Health, Engineering) and Abdus Sattar (Minister of State for Minority Development &amp;amp; Madrasa Education).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;In West Bengal, there are 45 Muslim Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) out of 294 seats. There are 5 Muslim Members of Parliament from West Bengal out of 42 seats: Mohammed Salim (Calcutta North East), Abu Ayes Mondal (Katwa), Abu Hasem Khan Choudhury (Malda), Abdul Mannan Hossain (Murshidabad) and Hannan Mollah (Uluberia), all of whom strength the control of Islam in various government institutions and the police hierarchy.&lt;br /&gt;
As the UPA Central Government and the CPI(M) State Government have paid no attention for the threat of Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators in West Bengal, the Bangladeshi Muslims have captured land, money and unequalled power of voting throughout the border districts in Bengal in many places.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;With the passive support of both the UPA Central Government and the CPI(M) State Government and with the active support of all the political parties in West Bengal (except for the BJP) for winning the Muslim votebank’s support, the DGFI &amp;amp; ISI has actively put down roots in the soil of West Bengal for their purposes. Not only are they successful in the ongoing demographic change of West Bengal by means of mobilizing the election machinery of Bengal, they have also opened their fronts everywhere in smuggling, trafficking, drug peddling, illegal cow smuggling, trans-border gang robbery and of course terrorism, with the active grassroots support to the Harakat ul-Jihad-I-Islami-Bangladesh (HUJI-B), Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Now in its most advantageous position, the DGFI &amp;amp; ISI’s joint collaboration is now promoting activities of Mughalistan in Kolkata, Howrah &amp;amp; other districts. The Dhaka-based Mughalistan Research Institute has identified various areas marked as “Mini Pakistan” in W.Bengal &amp;amp; Eastern India. This Mughalistan, as we know, comprises the entity of Greater Pakistan, right from Afghanistan to Myanmar including Bangladesh, whole of W. Bengal, Assam &amp;amp; many other portions of India. This Pan-Islamic movement gets petro-dollars from the Arab World and fake Indian Currency from Pakistan and Bangladesh for the maximum manifestation of their plans. The Muslim infiltration from Bangladesh gives oxygen to the Pan-Islamic movement in India. Now they have direct access into the West Bengal State Assembly and into the Ministry of Bengal within Writers Building, Kolkata. But sadly, West Bengal’s vote politics undermine the situation by turning a blind eye to this colossal tragedy, unabashedly providing voters’ ID cards to the Muslim infiltrators and setting a dangerous peril for Bengali Hindus and India.&lt;br /&gt;
The North-Eastern region is connected to rest of India by a small strip called “The Siliguri Corridor” or “Chicken’s Neck”. The Islamists have planned to isolate the North-East of India from the rest of India, in order to facilitate the creation of Mughalistan. This Operation is named as “Operation Pin code”. For this they have planned to infiltrate 3000 Jihadis into North Eastern region. According to the Task Force, there are 905 Mosques and 439 Madrasas along Indo-Bangladesh border on the Indian side.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Some excerpts from the report,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://telegraphindia.com/1080213/jsp/frontpage/story_8896931.jsp&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-color: silver; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #515151; text-decoration: none;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“Demography survey on eastern border”&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by Bhavna Vij-Aurora in “The Telegraph” are startling. “There have been reports that more Madarsas and mosques are sprouting along the borders, which in itself is an indication of increased Muslim population in the area,” disclosed an intelligence official. The last such study was done by the Intelligence Bureau and the home ministry in 1992, and their report kept a secret in view of the sensitive findings. It was ultimately leaked and the estimated number of illegal migrants from Bangladesh was anywhere between 1.5 crore and 2 crore. It’s time for a fresh survey, according to sources. There have been renewed intelligence reports that militants are using madarsas and mosques as safe havens, and also for storing arms and ammunition. According to reports, the largest number of madarsas and mosques has come up in bordering areas with Nepal, lower Assam and Bengal. This complements another secret survey that has revealed that nearly 40 per cent villages in the border districts of Bengal are predominantly Muslim. There are reports that concentration of the minority community, including the Bangladeshi immigrants in the villages, has resulted in the majority community moving to urban areas. Along with madarsas and mosques, a large number of Muslim NGOs have sprung up in the area bordering Nepal. Most of these madarsas are used for anti-India activities by Pakistan-backed terrorists. The NGOs ostensibly work for the social and educational uplift of the Muslim community and receive substantial and completely unregulated funding from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Libya and other Islamic countries,” an intelligence report said.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;When India was partitioned in 1947 on religious grounds and Muslims got West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), they had a vulture´s eye on the entire north-east. Muslims were not satisfied with both the Pakistans. They wanted the whole of the north-east region (undivided Assam) integrated with East Pakistan. Manul Haq Chowdhury, Jinnah´s private secretary, who remained in Assam and later became a minister in Assam assembly, wrote to Jinnah in 1947: “Quaid-e-Azam, wait for the next thirty years, I shall present Assam to Pakistan on a platter.” Since then, a sinister game plan to ‘grow more Muslims in the north-east’ has been going on surreptitiously.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Today, out of the total 24 districts of Assam, six districts, namely, Nagaon, Goalpara, Dhubri, Karimganj, Barpeta and Hailakanndi have 60 per cent Muslim population while other six, namely, Bongaigaon, Kokrajhar, Kamrup, Nalbari, Darang and Cachar districts have above 40 per cent of them. Out of the 126 assembly seats, the election of 54 MLAs depends on the Muslim vote bank. There are 28 Muslim MLAs and four ministers, namely, (i) Rocky Bul Hussain (Nagaon), Minister of State for Home Affairs; (ii) Ismail Hussain (Dhubri), Minister for Flood; (iii) Dr Nazurul Islam (Doboka), Minister for Food and Civil Supply, and (iv) Misabul Hussain Laskar (Borkhola, Cachar), Minister for Cooperatives.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;There are two Lok Sabha MPs in Assam, namely, Anwar Hussain from Dhubri and A.F. Gulam Osmani from Barpeta and one Rajya Sabha MP, Smt. Anwara Timur (Nagaon). The Muslim community of Assam has provided one former Muslim Chief Minister—Smt. Anwara Timur (Nagaon) and one former President of India—Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed (Lakhtokia, Guwahati). Earlier, in the Assam Gana Parishad (AGP) Ministry, headed by Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, there were two Muslim ministers, namely, Maidul Islam Bora from Kamalpur, Kamrup district and Sukur Ali from Barpeta. Several high-ranking officers including deputy commissioners are from this community. Obviously, the Muslim community, including the Indian Muslims and the Bangladeshi Muslims, have become a dominant group in Assam and it is they who decide who would be the Chief Minister of Assam and what would be the major policies of Assam pertaining to detection and deportation of illegal Muslim migrants and care of Muslim welfare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Tarun Gogoi, the Congress(I) Chief Minister of Assam, is giving all protection to these Muslims due to political compulsions. The Assamese community has been overpowered by Muslims. These Bangladeshi Muslims are sneaking into upper Assam too, creating serious problems for the Assamese. The demography of Assam has drastically changed and the very existence of the indigenous people is threatened. The manifold growth in Muslim population has overburdened Assam and the Assamese people are feeling harassed and tortured. The livelihoods of the local people are getting snatched away by these illegal Muslim migrants. The Janjati (indigenous tribal) communities in Assam are not organized. Therefore, their land and forests are very often forcefully occupied by these Muslims. The Nelli massacre in 1983 was the worst clash between the local people and Bangladeshi Muslims in which several Lalung Janjati people were reportedly killed and many Lalung villages were burnt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;These Bangladeshis have illegally sneaked into Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura too. They are marrying the local girls of influential people and are thus getting protection from their in-laws’ families. After marriage with a Janjati girl, they convert her to Islam. They purchase land in the Janjati belts in the name of their Janjati wives by producing Janjati certificates in her name. Now, the new generation of Muslims, i.e. the Janjati Muslims, is growing. They give Muslim names to their children but the clan remains that of local wives, like Saidullah Ningrum, Azad Lingdoh (Khasi Muslims), Nizamuddin Semia, Akram Semia (Naga Muslims), Shahabuddin Chowdhury, Akbar Laskar (Assamese Muslims) and others. In Assam, Muslims are using Assamese surnames like Hazarika, Barbhuian, Bargohain, Bhuiyan, Bora, Gohain and others. There are Meitei Muslims too in Manipur.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;In Nagaland, the Muslim menace is more serious. Dimapur has become the den of these Bangladeshi Muslims. They constitute the leading labour force in the agriculture sector owned by the Naga community. The majority of rickshaw-pullers, auto-drivers and other manual labourers is now of Bangladeshi Muslims. This has given rise to robbery, theft, illegal trafficking of narcotic drugs and liquor, smuggling of pornographic films and vulgar literature and an unprecedented rise in crime, flesh trade and prostitution. This influx has narrowed the jobs of lay workers too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;The Nagaland state capital, Kohima, has become the second biggest haven for the illegal migrant Muslims who occupy most of the shops in the main market, P.R. Hills and other localities. They marry Angami girls and become sons-in-law of the Naga people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Similarly, all the district areas such as Mokokchung, Wokha, Zunheboto, Phek, Mon and Tuensang are infested with them. They are sneaking into the interiors of Nagaland. In places like Jalukie in Zeliang area, Naginimora, Tizit and other central places of Nagaland, the pain of the presence of migrant Muslims is felt by the local Naga populace. Some ten years before, the students´ bodies had agitated against these foreigner Muslims. But the agitation was silently withdrawn reportedly due to threats from Bangladesh that the Government of Bangladesh would demolish all the camps of Naga undergrounds established in the territory of that country if the Bangladeshi Muslims were harassed in Nagaland. On seeing this unprecedented growth of Muslim population in Nagaland, S.C. Jamir, the then Chief Minister, once stated, “Muslims are breeding like mosquitoes in Nagaland.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;As a result of such illegal migration of Bangladeshi Muslims and their nuptial ties with the local Naga girls, a new community called Semiya or Sumias has already emerged in the state. Their number is estimated to be several thousand. The concentration of the Semiyas is the highest in Dimapur and Kohima districts respectively. There are fears among many that the voters’ list might have been doctored to accommodate the Semiyas as well other immigrants. The result of such immigration is gradually being felt in the state.&lt;br /&gt;
According to a Dimapur-based newspaper, on any Muslim religious day at least half of the shops in Kohima and some 75 per cent in Dimapur remain closed. It is also a fact that control over business establishments is fast receding from the hands of the locals. A recent survey conducted by the state directorate of Agriculture showed that 71.73 per cent of the total business establishments are being controlled and run by non-locals. Out of the 23,777 numbers of shops in the state, the local people own only 6,722 shops. Since the illegal migrants provide cheap labour, they are aggravating the unemployment problem. Besides, they pose a threat to the internal security as well. Reliable sources indicate that they are also involved in various unwanted activities like drug peddling and flesh trade.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;clear: both; color: #515151; font-size: 2em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 2em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;The Big Picture&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;The following map shows the concentration of Muslims and Hindus in the Indian subcontinent today. The highlighted areas show riot-prone regions of India where aggressive Muslim populations range from atleast 20% to 100% of the population.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;310&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/image003.jpg&quot; width=&quot;326&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Lest one mistakenly thinks that Mughalistan is the culmination of the Islamisation of India and that somehow the rest of India will be spared its fate, it must be stressed that this second partition of India is only the beginning. In Hyderabad of Andhra Pradesh, northern districts of Karnataka and certain areas of Maharashtra, the growth of Muslims is very high. Likewise, in Kerala, the Muslims now constitute 25% of the state’s population. Malappuram district was carved out to create a Muslim majority district by the Communist government headed by E.M.S Namboothiripad. Today, the entire Malappuram district enforces the weekly holiday on Friday (not Sunday) for schools and businesses, while Hindus in neighbouring Kozhikode (Calicut) and Kannur are intimidated through high-profile massacres like in Marad. The planning and execution is well underway to ensure a continuing Anschluss where several Muslim majority pockets such as Moplahstan (in Kerala) and Osmanistan (in the Deccan) will gradually spread in size and link up with Mughalistan to form a Greater Mughalistan.&lt;br /&gt;
This Greater Mughalistan is of strategic significance as it will provide a contiguous, strategic corridor linking the Ummah into a pan-Islamic Caliphate. The ISI-DGFI-Indian Jihadi triumvirate has fondly nicknamed this pan-Islamic Caliphate as Islamistan (meaning “Land of Islam”), a synonym for `Islamic World’ or `Dar-ul-Islam’. This geographical Islamic crescent will link the Islamic Middle-East to Islamic South-East Asia, with the new Islamic World stretching all the way from Morocco and Bosnia in the West to Malaysia and Indonesia in the East.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; height=&quot;456&quot; src=&quot;http://www.bengalgenocide.com/images/mapmuslim.jpg&quot; width=&quot;823&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;There are Muslims in India today who dream of “Mughalistan” and are working relentlessly towards a further partition of India by creating “Mughalistan” in the UP-Bihar-Bengal-Assam corridor. It remains the focus of mainstream groups like the Tablighi Jamaat (who have methodically radicalised the ordinary Muslims) as well as underground terror groups like the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the Indian Mujahideen, who have blown up several Indian cities killing thousands of people. Until Mughalstan is achieved, Indians will continue to see serial bomb-blasts, attacks on Hindu festivals and temples, killings of Hindu activists, conversions of Hindu women and socio-economically backward sections, and brazen cow-slaughter that will continue endlessly until the Hindu mind becomes too numb and shell-shocked to look at the bigger picture, or comprehend the future – that Mughalistan is inevitable (“Mughalstan Paindabad”).&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;Lessons of history have been quickly forgotten. Indians have become twisted “politically correct” escapists who prefer to turn a blind eye to reality. Now it is not about just Kashmir any more, it is all of India that Pakistan wants. And the creation of Mughalistan is not a question of “If”, but “When”. Unless we stand up and stop it.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;All Indians, secularists and nationalists alike, must act quickly. We should ponder upon the future of India that we will bequeath to our children in the near future, if the plan of Mughalistan is allowed to proceed unhindered. Indians have to start taking responsibility for their future generations. We must do everything in our might, to ensure that the tide of Islamic expansionism is restricted and reversed, beginning right now.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;h5 style=&quot;font-size: 2em;&quot;&gt;The common man should take all possible measures politically, socially and economically to single-mindedly achieve this goal&lt;br /&gt;

Karachi, Pakistan (CHAKRA) –&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;An activist and council member of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, Amarnath Motumal, stated that at least 20 to 25 girls are abducted and converted to Islam against their will every single month. Hindus are targetted due to many local muslims seeing them as kafirs(non muslims) and therefore of lower class&amp;nbsp;as well as&amp;nbsp;evil.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial;

“A large number of Hindu girls in Karachi alone are being kidnapped on a routine basis.” &amp;nbsp;Threats are commonly given by the dangerous kidnappers that if they are reported, the families will hear of their daughter’s death.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial;

Another reason is the destruction of the agriculture sector and small markets that has led to frustration and lawlessness.

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: purple;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Operation Trident&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Operation Trident and its follow-up Operation Python were naval offensive operations launched on Pakistan&#39;s port city of Karachi by the Indian Navy during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Operation Trident resulted in the first use of anti-ship missiles in the region, as well as the first sinking of naval vessels during hostilities in the region since World War II. India celebrates it&#39;s Navy Day annually on 4 December to mark this operation.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Background&quot;&gt;BACKGROUND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Karachi housed the headquarters of the Pakistani Navy and almost the entire Pakistan Navy fleet was based at Karachi Harbour. Karachi was also the hub of Pakistan&#39;s maritime trade, meaning that a blockade would be disastrous for Pakistan’s economy. The defence of Karachi harbour was therefore paramount to the Pakistani High Command and it was heavily defended against any air or naval strikes. Karachi received some of the best defence Pakistan had to offer, as well as cover from strike aircraft based at two airfields in the area.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Operation Trident was planned under the leadership of Admiral Sardarilal Mathradas Nanda. It drew inspiration from the success of the 1967 attack, following the Six Day War, in which the Israeli Navy frigate,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Eilat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;was sunk by an Egyptian Navy Komar class missile boat from a range well beyond the frigate&#39;s guns.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-gs-vidyut_5-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Indian Navy&#39;s Vidyut class missile boats, however, had limited range. So the plan for Operation Trident called for towing the missile boats towards Karachi and including a refuelling tanker in the task force to enable the task force to return back to Indian ports.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-yadav-obit_6-0&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/sup&gt;The&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Vidyut class&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;vessels were each armed with four SS-N-2B&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Styx&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;surface-to-surface missiles with a maximum range of 40 nmi and a firing system linked to long-range MR-331 Rangout radars.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Operation_Trident&quot;&gt;OPERATION TRIDENT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;On 4 December, the Indian Navy launched a fast naval strike on the Pakistan Naval Headquarters (PNHQ) of Karachi.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-bharat_7-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The task group for the operation consisted of three&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Vidyut&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;class missile boats, INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Nipat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(K86), INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Nirghat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(K89) and INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Veer&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(K82) from the 25th &quot;Killer&quot; Missile Boat Squadron, escorted by two anti-submarine Arnala class frigates, INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Kiltan&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(P79) and INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Katchall&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(P81), and a fleet tanker,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;INS Poshak&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-bharat_7-1&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The task group was led by the Commanding Officer of the 25th Squadron, Commander Babru Bhan Yadav, embarked on INS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Nipat&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;As per the operational plan, the task group reached 250 nautical miles (460&amp;nbsp;km) south of Karachi during the day, outside the range of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) aircraft, and attacked at night because most of these aircraft did not possess night-time bombing capability.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-book_8-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;Late in the evening on December 4,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;INS Kiltan&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the 3 missile boats approached Karachi, evading Pakistani reconnaissance aircraft and surface patrol vessels.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At 2230 hrs, the task group converged about 70 nautical miles (130&amp;nbsp;km) south of Karachi and detected multiple targets. Analysis indicated that the targets 45 miles to the northwest and 42 miles to the northeast were Pakistani warships, which were selected by Commander Yadav for the attack.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;INS Nirghat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;then steered towards and engaged the northwesterly target and after verification, fired the first SS-N-2B&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Styx&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;missile at the destroyer, PNS Khaibar which was on patrol.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;mistook the missile to be an aircraft and engaged it with its Bofors anti-aircraft guns. The missile struck&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the starboard side and exploded below the aft galley in the Electrician&#39;s mess deck at about 2245 hrs PST. The ship immediately lost propulsion, plunged into darkness and the No.1 Boiler room exploded, engulfing the ship in thick black smoke.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;sent out an emergency transmission which read &quot;&lt;i&gt;Enemy aircraft attacked in position 020 FF 20. No 1 Boiler hit. Ship stopped.&lt;/i&gt;&quot; With the target still afloat, at about 2249 hrs,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;INS Nirghat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;fired a second missile, which was seen approaching and again engaged with anti-aircraft guns of&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;. The missile struck the No.2 Boiler room on the starboard side, sinking&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;PNS Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-br-ot_9-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At 2300 hours,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;INS Nipat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;engaged two targets to the northeast approaching Karachi. Verifying the targets,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Nipat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;launched 1&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Styx&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;missile each at the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;MV Venus Challenger&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;carrying ammunition for Pakistan from the United States forces in Saigon, and her destroyer escort PNS Shah Jahan (DD-962). The ammunition on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Venus Challenger&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;immediately exploded as the missile struck sinking her about 26 miles south of Karachi, while&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Shah Jahan&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;was irreparably damaged.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At 2320 hours, the minesweeper PNS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Muhafiz&lt;/i&gt;, was targeted by a&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Styx&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;missile from&lt;i&gt;INS Veer&lt;/i&gt;. The missile hit&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Muhafiz&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;on the port side abaft the bridge, instantaneously disintegrating the vessel before it could send a transmission to the PNHQ.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;INS Nipat&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;then continued towards Karachi, locked on to the oil storage tanks of the port from 14 nautical miles (26&amp;nbsp;km) south of the harbor. It fired two missiles at the tanks. One of the missiles misfired, while the other hit some of the tanks, which were burnt and destroyed.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-7&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The task force then withdrew back towards Bombay.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Aftermath&quot;&gt;AFTERMATH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overall, the Indian Navy&#39;s missile attack was carefully planned and executed well. The attack achieved complete surprise and was a shock to Pakistan&#39;s Armed Forces Command. The attack left a deep psychological and emotional impact on Pakistan&#39;s civil society and the Pakistan Armed Forces.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;A disjointed and haphazard rescue operation was launched to locate and recover survivors of PNS&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;, while PNHQ was not aware of the sinking of PNS&lt;i&gt;Muhafiz&lt;/i&gt;. PNHQ learnt of the fate of&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Muhafiz&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;from her survivors who were rescued when a patrol vessel steered towards her burning flotsam while searching for survivors from the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Khaibar&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;The Pakistan Navy, on high alert as a result of the operation, raised a number of false alarms in the ensuing days about the presence of Indian Navy vessels off Karachi. One such false alarm was raised by a Pakistan Navy Fokker Friendship reconnaisance aircraft on 6 December 1971 which reported another missile attack by an Indian Navy ship. The PNHQ asked the Pakistan Air Force to carry out an air strike on the supposed Indian ship. At 0645 hrs, fighter jets were scrambled which strafed the vessel before it was identified as Pakistan&#39;s own PNS Zulfiqar, which suffered casualties and damage as a result of this friendly fire.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_4-6&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trident_%28Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971%29#cite_note-Pakdef-4&quot; style=&quot;color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-bharat_7-2&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Operation Trident was an enormous success with no casualties or damage to the Indian task group,&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;which returned safely back to Indian ports&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_4-7&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trident_%28Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971%29#cite_note-Pakdef-4&quot; style=&quot;color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The success of this operation prompted another successful attack on Pakistan Naval forces in Karachi on 8 December 1971, known as Operation Python.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-bharat_7-3&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Trident_%28Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1971%29#cite_note-bharat-7&quot; style=&quot;color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

After the first attack during Operation Trident on Karachi port, Pakistan stepped up aerial surveillance of its coast and the presence of large Indian Navy ships gave the impression that another attack was being planned&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-3&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. Pakistan warships attempted to outsmart the Indian Navy by mingling with merchant shipping. To counter these moves, Operation Python was launched on the night on December 8/9, 1971&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-4&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Background&quot;&gt;BACKGROUND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Karachi housed the headquarters of the Pakistani Navy and almost the entire fleet was based at Karachi Harbour. Karachi was also the hub of Pakistan&#39;s maritime trade, meaning that a blockade would be disastrous for Pakistan’s economy. The defence of Karachi harbour was therefore paramount to the Pakistani High Command and it was heavily defended against any airstrikes or naval strikes. Karachi received some of the best defences Pakistan had to offer as well as cover from strike aircraft based at two airfields in the area. The Indian fleet lay 250 miles from Karachi during the day, outside the range of Pakistani aircraft, and most of these aircraft did not possess night-bombing capability.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-book_4-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Pakistani Navy had launched submarine operations to gather intelligence on Indian naval efforts. Even so, with multiple intels provided by the submarines, the Navy had failed to divert the naval attacks, due to misleading intelligence and communications.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Operation Trident was an enormous success with no damage to any of the ships of the Indian Naval Task Group&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-5&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, which returned safely. The success of this operation prompted another successful attack on the Pakistani coast, named Operation Python.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Pakistan.27s_Naval_Intelligence&quot;&gt;PAKISTAN&#39;S NAVAL INTELLIGENCE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Pakistani Navy had continued its submarine operations in the region, even after the first missile attack. On December 6th, naval intelligence learned the second major formation was moving close to Karachi, in an intel passed regularly by her submarines deployed in the region. To counter this threat, Chief of Naval Staff Vice-Admiral Muzaffar Hassan met with Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Abdul Rahim Khan in which an airstrike group was formed. However, due to successful air strikes led by the IAF on December 8th, the IAF dismantled the capability of PAF to carry out such counter-operations. Following Operation Python on the evening of 8 December at about 1800 hrs., the Chief of Air Staff of PAF was contacted by direct telephone and asked for the strike from the air. The Chief of Naval Staff of Pakistan Navy also had a word with him to emphasise the urgency. The Air Marshal regretted his inability as according to him &quot;&lt;i&gt;No air effort was available&lt;/i&gt;.&quot;Though it was never confirmed from a reliable source.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: red; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Operation_Python&quot;&gt;OPERATION PYTHON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;On the night of December&amp;nbsp;8, 1971, in rough seas, a small strike group consisting of missile boat INS Vinash and two multipurpose frigates, INS Talwar and INS Trishul,&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-bharat_5-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;approached Karachi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;INS Vinash&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;fired four SS-N-2B Styx missiles. The first missile struck the fuel tanks at the Keamari Oil Farm. Another missile hit and sank a Panamian fuel tanker the Gulf Star. The third and fourth missiles hit the Pakistani Navy fleet tanker PNS Dacca and the British ship SS Harmattan, which were badly damaged&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-GlobalSecurity_3-6&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. One Pakistani ship was captured off the Makran coast.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-book_4-1&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Between Operations Trident and Python, and the Indian Air Force attacks on Karachi&#39;s fuel and ammunition depots, more than 50 percent of the total fuel requirement of the Karachi zone was reported to have been blown up. The result was a crippling economic blow to Pakistan.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-0&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;There was $3&amp;nbsp;billion worth of damage, most of the oil reserves and ammunition were lost, warehouses and workshops were destroyed and the PAF was hit as well. The port was nearly destroyed and was left burning.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-1&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Operation Python was a success. The Pakistani fuel reserves for the sector were destroyed and the flames could be seen from 60 miles away. India had established complete control over the oil route from the Persian Gulf to Pakistani ports.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-book_4-2&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;Shipping traffic to and from Karachi, Pakistan&#39;s only major port at that time, ceased. The Pakistani Navy&#39;s main ships were either destroyed or forced to remain in port. Pakistan attempted to counter the Indian missile boat threat by carrying out bombing raids over Okha harbour – the forward base of the missile boats. The strikes were ineffective as the Indian missile boats had been withdrawn southwards.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;color: black; font: normal normal bold 11px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: uppercase;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;editsection&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Aftermath&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;AFTERMATH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;The psychological attack was far greater than the physical damage for the Pakistan Navy.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-2&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;The civilians, naval officers and sailors, including officers from other branches of the Pakistani Armed Forces, were demoralized and emotionally shattered. The rescue efforts were immediately coordinated by Rear-Admiral Patrick Julian Simpson (later 3-star Vice-Admiral) who kept morale high among the officers.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-3&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;For this, he conferred with Sitara-e-Jurat. Apart from the obsolescence of its weapons, the lack of adequate air support inhibited the success of its opera­tions. The Pakistan Navy&#39;s surface force&#39;s human and economic casualties were very high and it failed to retain its threat and deterrent value as a Fleet in Being.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-4&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;Due to heavy funding for the Pakistani Army&#39;s weapons and production, the neglect of the Navy over several decades came through clearly in the 1971 war.&lt;sup class=&quot;reference&quot; id=&quot;cite_ref-Pakdef_6-5&quot;&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Overall, Operation Python was a tremendous advantage particularly in weapon range, which the Indian Navy enjoyed. Operation Python had achieved all of its objectiv&lt;/b&gt;es.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/feeds/6801642921941273498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/08/operation-trident-and-operation-python.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/6801642921941273498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/6801642921941273498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/08/operation-trident-and-operation-python.html' title='Operation Trident and Operation Python: Heroic Indian Naval Victory against Islamic Republic Of Pakistan'/><author><name>Devi Guru Prasad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02497370302594500439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qk0rUlTRxsiqlETj8Ladk30bjMxH1d3_1RjjpgG00xwaBYtwbeTlRnsmngIOyHmW9R3JMSCBRuueEuWb0JKDfNXGYt1urAEvorPfUJyyHtm62Xd-cK8ZZCLrXwsECC0/s220/19.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyrpBhDxQiV1ipS_XUJqXlzsXhYhII_rYFMlWEKYFUjW4_hQ7ayb7yoYU2l9D5pQHTcnmLNjosHAas0GV4QdsX1khsew8pXIgX8DwIU-Q9v4TtAOm7nLRhXXPjgjUIxncH3mzjvcPkTfs/s72-c/vidyut.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805671893268303340.post-1568090865568186474</id><published>2011-07-31T21:26:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-07-31T21:27:18.549+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Are Hindus Cowards?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;#39;lucida grande&amp;#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;line-height:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;1.

Today Hindus are 85%. If&lt;br&gt;Hindus are intolerant, how come&lt;br&gt;Masjids and Madrassas are&lt;br&gt;thriving? How come Muslims are&lt;br&gt;offering Namaz on the road?

Why are Hindus&lt;br&gt;   denied minority rights in these&lt;br&gt;States?&lt;br&gt;15. Do you admit that Hindus do&lt;br&gt;have problems that need to be&lt;br&gt;recognized. Or do you think that&lt;br&gt;those who call themselves Hindus&lt;br&gt;are themselves the problem?&lt;br&gt;16. Why post-Godhra is blown&lt;br&gt;   out of proportion, when no- one&lt;br&gt;talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4&lt;br&gt;lakh Hindus from Kashmir?&lt;br&gt;17. In 1947, when India was&lt;br&gt;partitioned, the Hindu population&lt;br&gt;in Pakistan was about 24%. Today&lt;br&gt;it is not even 1%. In 1947, the&lt;br&gt;   Hindu population in East Pakistan&lt;br&gt;(now Bangladesh) was 30%.&lt;br&gt;Today it is about 7%. What&lt;br&gt;happened to the missing Hindus?&lt;br&gt;Do Hindus have human rights?&lt;br&gt;18. In contrast, in India, Muslim&lt;br&gt;population has gone up from&lt;br&gt;   10.4% in 1951 to about 14%&lt;br&gt;today; whereas Hindu population&lt;br&gt;has come down from 87.2% in&lt;br&gt;1951 to 81.5% in 2001. Does&lt;br&gt;any politician have the guts to ask&lt;br&gt;Muslims to go for family&lt;br&gt;planning?&lt;br&gt;19. Do you consider that -&lt;br&gt;   Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is&lt;br&gt;secular, Mandir is communal and&lt;br&gt;Masjid is secular, Sadhu is&lt;br&gt;communal and Imam is secular,&lt;br&gt;BJP is communal and Muslim&lt;br&gt;League is secular, Dr. Praveen&lt;br&gt;Thogadiya is anti-national and&lt;br&gt;   Bhukari is national, Vande&lt;br&gt;Matharam is communal and Allah-&lt;br&gt;O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is&lt;br&gt;communal and Mian is secular,&lt;br&gt;Hinduism is communal and Islam&lt;br&gt;is secular, Hindutva is communal&lt;br&gt;and Jihadism is secular, and at&lt;br&gt;   last, Bharat is communal and Italy&lt;br&gt;is secular?&lt;br&gt;20. When Christian and Muslim&lt;br&gt;schools can teach Bible and Quran,&lt;br&gt;why Hindus cannot teach Gita or&lt;br&gt;Ramayan?&lt;br&gt;21. Abdul Rehman Antuley was&lt;br&gt;made a trustee of the famous&lt;br&gt;   Siddhi Vinayak Temple in&lt;br&gt;Prabhadevi, Mumbai. Can a Hindu&lt;br&gt;- say Mulayam or Laloo - ever&lt;br&gt;become a trustee of a Masjid or&lt;br&gt;Madrassa?&lt;br&gt;22. Dr. Praveenbhai Thogadiya&lt;br&gt;has been arrested many times on&lt;br&gt;flimsy grounds. Has the Shahi&lt;br&gt;   Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi,&lt;br&gt;Ahmed Bukhari been arrested for&lt;br&gt;claiming to be an ISI agent and&lt;br&gt;advocating partition of Bharat?&lt;br&gt;23. When Haj pilgrims are given&lt;br&gt;subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to&lt;br&gt;Amarnath, Sabarimalai &amp;amp; Kailash&lt;br&gt;   Mansarover are taxed?&lt;br&gt;24. In 2003-2004 - A Muslim&lt;br&gt;President, a Hindu Prime Minister&lt;br&gt;and a Christian Defence Minister,&lt;br&gt;running the affairs of the country,&lt;br&gt;with a unity of purpose. Can this&lt;br&gt;happen any where except in a&lt;br&gt;   Hindu Nation - Bharat?&lt;br&gt;25. In Kerala, MLAs, MPs &amp;amp;&lt;br&gt;Ministers take oath in the name of&lt;br&gt;Allah and Infant Jesus, which is&lt;br&gt;against the Constitution. Can a&lt;br&gt;Hindu take oath in the name of&lt;br&gt;Ram or Krishna?&lt;br&gt;   26. Arabic language is promoted&lt;br&gt;in India at Govt. expenses. but not&lt;br&gt;Sanskrit? Is Arabic more national&lt;br&gt;than Sanskrit?&lt;br&gt;27. IMTD act in Assam gives legal&lt;br&gt;rights to Bangladeshi Muslims to&lt;br&gt;settle and become Indian citizen,&lt;br&gt;   whereas Indians cannot settle in&lt;br&gt;Jammu &amp;amp; Kashmir. Why this&lt;br&gt;double standard?&lt;br&gt;28. J&amp;amp;K with about 1 crore&lt;br&gt;population has been provided with&lt;br&gt;aid worth Rs.24,000 crores, i.e.&lt;br&gt;Rs.24,000/- per head, whereas in&lt;br&gt;   other states the per head aid is&lt;br&gt;less than 5% of this amount. Is&lt;br&gt;this not a reward for anti-&lt;br&gt;nationalism?&lt;br&gt;29. If painting is un-Islamic, why&lt;br&gt;there is no Fatwa issued against&lt;br&gt;MF Hussain? If he still persists&lt;br&gt;   with painting, is he not doing an&lt;br&gt;un-Islamic act?&lt;br&gt;30. If music, singing and dancing&lt;br&gt;are un-Islamic (because Islam is a&lt;br&gt;serious religion), why no Fatwa is&lt;br&gt;issued against the many Khans in&lt;br&gt;the cinefield. What will they give&lt;br&gt;   up - Islam or Acting?&lt;br&gt;31. Do you think that India will&lt;br&gt;remain secular and democratic if&lt;br&gt;Muslims become majority?&lt;br&gt;32. When Deepavali &amp;amp;&lt;br&gt;Janmashtami are celebrated at&lt;br&gt;White House, House of Commons,&lt;br&gt;  Australian Parliament, etc. why&lt;br&gt; are they not celebrated in Indian&lt;br&gt;parliament? Are we more secular&lt;br&gt;than USA, UK &amp;amp; Australia?&lt;br&gt;33. If the communal riots is due&lt;br&gt;to RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, etc.&lt;br&gt;why there are riots in Bangladesh,&lt;br&gt;Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq,&lt;br&gt;   Turkey, Afghanistan, Indonesia,&lt;br&gt;Chechhnya, China, Russia, UK,&lt;br&gt;France, Spain, Cyprus, etc. -&lt;br&gt;where there is no RSS/VHP.&lt;br&gt;34. If Islam is a religion of peace,&lt;br&gt;why Quran-reading and Gun-&lt;br&gt;wielding is taught in tandem?&lt;br&gt;   35. How do you explain the&lt;br&gt;Muslim psyche : Enjoying the&lt;br&gt;freedom in a democratic country&lt;br&gt;like India, USA, UK, France, etc.&lt;br&gt;and still trying to make it an&lt;br&gt;Islamic nation, where they lose all&lt;br&gt;freedom.&lt;br&gt;36. A former President, two&lt;br&gt;   former PMs, Sadhus and Sants&lt;br&gt;have demonstrated against the&lt;br&gt;arrest of Kanchi Shankaracharya,&lt;br&gt;but the media says there is&lt;br&gt;absolutely no protest. Do you&lt;br&gt;think violence is the only&lt;br&gt;yardstick to measure people&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;   agony?&lt;br&gt;37. When Quran does not believe&lt;br&gt;in negotiation (it believes only in&lt;br&gt;defeating Kafirs in a war), do you&lt;br&gt;think that the Ayodhya problem&lt;br&gt;will be solved by negotiation?&lt;br&gt;38. Do you trust that Islam and&lt;br&gt;   Christianity believe in Sarva&lt;br&gt;Dharma Samabhav? If yes, why&lt;br&gt;do they believe in conversion.&lt;br&gt;39. Don&amp;#39;t you believe that Islam&lt;br&gt;and Christianity are political&lt;br&gt;ideologies, out to grab nations.&lt;br&gt;They - through their Mullahs and&lt;br&gt;   Fathers - achieve what Army,&lt;br&gt;Navy and Air Force cannot, by&lt;br&gt;converting locals and destroying&lt;br&gt;their culture.&lt;br&gt;40. Ishwar Allah tere naam - Can&lt;br&gt;you show me one Muslim who&lt;br&gt;has agreed to this?&lt;br&gt;41. Don&amp;#39;t you think that `Secular&lt;br&gt;   Muslim&amp;#39; is a misnomer? A person&lt;br&gt;can either be Secular or a Muslim,&lt;br&gt;and not both? A Muslim (who&lt;br&gt;believes in the only God, Allah)&lt;br&gt;cannot be secular (believing in&lt;br&gt;many Gods).&lt;br&gt;42. UN Charter says that minority&lt;br&gt;   means less than 10% of the&lt;br&gt;population. How can Muslims,&lt;br&gt;who are nearly 14% in India be&lt;br&gt;called a minority?&lt;br&gt;43. Do you believe that&lt;br&gt;Communists love our country,&lt;br&gt;when they refuse to admit that&lt;br&gt;China was the aggressor in 1962?&lt;br&gt;   44. Do you agree with the thesis&lt;br&gt;of Communists that India is a&lt;br&gt;State of different nations, like the&lt;br&gt;former USSR, (and not a Nation of&lt;br&gt;different states) and therefore is&lt;br&gt;bound to break up?&lt;br&gt;45. How come a Muslim family&lt;br&gt;   peacefully lives in a&lt;br&gt;predominantly Hindu locality,&lt;br&gt;whereas a Hindu family is not&lt;br&gt;able to do so in a Muslim locality?&lt;br&gt;46. Why Hindu dominated Bharat&lt;br&gt;is secular for ages and Muslim&lt;br&gt;dominated countries are only&lt;br&gt;   Islamic with no powers to&lt;br&gt;minorities?&lt;br&gt;47. Why Christian Missionaries do&lt;br&gt;not go to Muslim- dominated&lt;br&gt;areas and start their social service&lt;br&gt;there? Is it because they will not&lt;br&gt;get sufficient return to their&lt;br&gt;   `investment&amp;#39;?&lt;br&gt;48. Are you aware that India is&lt;br&gt;the only country which openly&lt;br&gt;invites infiltrators from&lt;br&gt;Bangladesh. Bihar, UP and West&lt;br&gt;Bengal Govts. provide them with&lt;br&gt;immediate ration cards and make&lt;br&gt;   them voters.&lt;br&gt;49. Riots take place mostly after&lt;br&gt;the Friday prayers (e.g. Marad,&lt;br&gt;Kerala). Is it not because of the&lt;br&gt;fiery sermons of the Imams?&lt;br&gt;50. All Hindu-majority regions&lt;br&gt;are peaceful. But all Hindu-&lt;br&gt;   minority regions have become&lt;br&gt;problematic - like J&amp;amp;K, North&lt;br&gt;Eastern parts, etc. Can you explain&lt;br&gt;why?&lt;br&gt;51. A MLA, C.P. Shaji, said in&lt;br&gt;Kerala Assembly that &amp;quot;the hands&lt;br&gt;that touches even a syllable of the&lt;br&gt;   Shariat will be chopped off then&lt;br&gt;and there&amp;quot; (Mathrubhumi, July 3,&lt;br&gt;1985). Do you concur with this?&lt;br&gt;52. Do you agree that the policies&lt;br&gt;of all political parties are&lt;br&gt;contradictory to the aim of uniting&lt;br&gt;   all sections of the people by a&lt;br&gt;stream of thought?&lt;br&gt;53. Are you aware that illegal&lt;br&gt;Muslim immigrants have become&lt;br&gt;a deciding factor in the election of&lt;br&gt;nearly 25 Lok Sabha and 120&lt;br&gt;MLA seats in India? - And they&lt;br&gt;   are voting for a particular party&lt;br&gt;lump sum - Congress, RJD, SP,&lt;br&gt;ML or Communists - whichever is&lt;br&gt;likely to form the Govt.?&lt;br&gt;54. Are you aware that according&lt;br&gt;to KPS Gill some of the NGOs or&lt;br&gt;even media organisations were&lt;br&gt;   actually front offices for terrorist&lt;br&gt;groups? He says there is a nexus&lt;br&gt;between some of the terrorist&lt;br&gt;outfits parading as NGOs and&lt;br&gt;human rights group.&lt;br&gt;55. Are you aware that the so-&lt;br&gt;called secular Maulana&lt;br&gt;   Wahiduddin, when asked to pray&lt;br&gt;for the Indian soldiers fighting at&lt;br&gt;Kargil, refused, under the pretext&lt;br&gt;that he cannot pray for people&lt;br&gt;who are fighting the Muslims?&lt;br&gt;(Sonia and Priyanka attended his&lt;br&gt;funeral later).&lt;br&gt;   56. A Pakistani becomes Indian&lt;br&gt;when he marries a Muslim girl&lt;br&gt;from J&amp;amp;K. But when the same&lt;br&gt;girl marries a Hindu from any part&lt;br&gt;of India, he does not become a&lt;br&gt;J&amp;amp;K citizen, but on the contrary,&lt;br&gt;she loses her J&amp;amp;K citizenship.&lt;br&gt;   What kind of law is this?&lt;br&gt;57. In the Ayodhya case, the&lt;br&gt;Supreme Court questioned the&lt;br&gt;locus standi of Vishwa Hindu&lt;br&gt;Parishad. But the SC did not&lt;br&gt;question the locus standi of the&lt;br&gt;Babri Masjid Action Committee or&lt;br&gt;   the All India Muslim Personal Law&lt;br&gt;Board. Is this not double standard&lt;br&gt;on the part of SC?&lt;br&gt;58. In the Ayodhya dispute, you&lt;br&gt;say that Hindus must abide by&lt;br&gt;law. Do you know how many&lt;br&gt;times the constitution has been&lt;br&gt;   amended to overturn verdicts of&lt;br&gt;the High Courts and Supreme&lt;br&gt;Court? - Shah Bano, unseating of&lt;br&gt;Indira Gandhi, etc.&lt;br&gt;59. When you are asking for the&lt;br&gt;resignation of CMs like Narendra&lt;br&gt;Modi, Uma Bharti, etc. on trivial&lt;br&gt;   grounds, why are you not&lt;br&gt;demanding the resignation of the&lt;br&gt;CM of J&amp;amp;K, where thousands of&lt;br&gt;security personnel have been&lt;br&gt;killed by terrorists? - where&lt;br&gt;nearly 4 lakhs Hindus have been&lt;br&gt;ethnic cleansed.&lt;br&gt;   60. The UP govt. confessed that it&lt;br&gt;cannot abide by Supreme Court&lt;br&gt;judgement of 1986 on the&lt;br&gt;Varanasi burial ground dispute&lt;br&gt;between Sunni and Shia Muslims.&lt;br&gt;The Karnataka Govt. refused to&lt;br&gt;abide by the SC&amp;#39;s order on the&lt;br&gt;   Cauvery water dispute. Is this&lt;br&gt;respecting court judgement?&lt;br&gt;61. When one Graham Staines is&lt;br&gt;killed, the English press goes&lt;br&gt;overboard in condemning his&lt;br&gt;killers. But when 58 Hindus,&lt;br&gt;including 30 women and children,&lt;br&gt;   were burnt aline in Sabarmati&lt;br&gt;Express, they kept silent. The&lt;br&gt;victims are depicted as the villain.&lt;br&gt;Is this responsible journalism?&lt;br&gt;62. Farooq Abdullah, former CM&lt;br&gt;of J&amp;amp;K who has married a&lt;br&gt;Christian, rejoiced at the marriage&lt;br&gt;   of his son Umar with a Hindu girl.&lt;br&gt;But when his daughter married a&lt;br&gt;Hindu boy, he disowned her. Is he&lt;br&gt;the icon of secularism?&lt;br&gt;63. Have you ever visited a&lt;br&gt;Muslim ghetto? If not please&lt;br&gt;make it a point to have a Darshan&lt;br&gt;   Yatra of place like Mumbra (near&lt;br&gt;Mumbai) or Mallapuram in Kerala.&lt;br&gt;If you are a real secularist, you&lt;br&gt;will really `feel good&amp;#39;.&lt;br&gt;64. When Islam and Secularism/&lt;br&gt;democracy have nothing in&lt;br&gt;common, why Hindus are made to&lt;br&gt;   watch this ugly dance in their&lt;br&gt;stupor?&lt;br&gt;65. According to law, human&lt;br&gt;organs cannot be an election&lt;br&gt;symbol of any party. Then how&lt;br&gt;come `Hand&amp;#39; symbol is allotted to&lt;br&gt;Congress. Is it not against the&lt;br&gt;law?&lt;br&gt;   66. Delhi Imam Syed Bhukari&lt;br&gt;declared that Taliban is the ideal&lt;br&gt;for all Muslims and Osama Bin&lt;br&gt;Laden is the hero? Do you&lt;br&gt;consider him a secular icon?&lt;br&gt;67. Delhi Imam Syed Bhukari is&lt;br&gt;rearing a Black Buck in his&lt;br&gt;   courtyard, which is against law.&lt;br&gt;The Delhi police team which went&lt;br&gt;there to arrest him, came back&lt;br&gt;calmly. Is he above law?&lt;br&gt;68. If Muslims do not want&lt;br&gt;common civil code, will they&lt;br&gt;clamour for the Quaranic code of&lt;br&gt;   criminal justice? - eye for eye,&lt;br&gt;leg for leg, hand for hand, etc.&lt;br&gt;69. In J&amp;amp;K, about 2 lakh Hindu&lt;br&gt;adults are voters for the&lt;br&gt;parliamentary elections, but not&lt;br&gt;for the assembly. Why?&lt;br&gt;70. The duration of the J&amp;amp;K&lt;br&gt;   assembly is six years and not 5&lt;br&gt;years as in other states. Why?&lt;br&gt;71. Do you support the building&lt;br&gt;of a Memorial for Afzal Khan,&lt;br&gt;who plotted to kill Chatrapati&lt;br&gt;Shivaji, in Pratapgarh&lt;br&gt;(Maharashtra)?&lt;br&gt;72. Do you support the building&lt;br&gt;   of a Masjid for Babar, a looter and&lt;br&gt;invader, at Ayodhya?&lt;br&gt;73. Do you consider that&lt;br&gt;celebrating Valentine (Lovers)&lt;br&gt;Day on 14th Feb. is in tune with&lt;br&gt;our culture? - when exactly after&lt;br&gt;9 months, i.e. on 14th Nov. you&lt;br&gt;   celebrate Children&amp;#39;s day.&lt;br&gt;74. What is so special about&lt;br&gt;Nehru liking children? Children&lt;br&gt;are liked by one and all. Is it not&lt;br&gt;absurd to celebrate his birth day&lt;br&gt;as Children&amp;#39;s&amp;#39; Day? The real&lt;br&gt;Children&amp;#39;s&amp;#39; Day should be&lt;br&gt;   Gokulashtami - Yes Lord Krishna.&lt;br&gt;along with his colleagues did all&lt;br&gt;the antics of a child.&lt;br&gt;75. Hindu girls are molested and&lt;br&gt;gangraped in Bangladesh. Temples&lt;br&gt;are burnt or destroyed almost&lt;br&gt;every day. Why none of our&lt;br&gt;   secularists and Human Rights&lt;br&gt;Activists raise their voice for&lt;br&gt;Hindus in Bangladesh. Are Human&lt;br&gt;Rights only for Muslims?&lt;br&gt;76. Are you aware that Islam&lt;br&gt;does not believe in nationalism&lt;br&gt;and national boundaries. It wants&lt;br&gt;   to bring the whole world under&lt;br&gt;Islam - from Darul Harab to Darul&lt;br&gt;Islam?&lt;br&gt;77. A 65 years old Muslim has&lt;br&gt;remarried his first-divorced wife&lt;br&gt;for the 54th time. What could&lt;br&gt;have happened to the other 50+&lt;br&gt;wives he divorced. What type of&lt;br&gt;   society it would be, can you just&lt;br&gt;imagine? Do you want this type&lt;br&gt;of society in India?&lt;br&gt;78. Why Muslims go after&lt;br&gt;building Masjids and Madrassas,&lt;br&gt;and not schools and colleges? Do&lt;br&gt;you think Madrassas churn out&lt;br&gt;   Scientists and Engineers?&lt;br&gt;79. Mohurram processions are&lt;br&gt;being taken out in Hindu majority&lt;br&gt;areas. But Hindu religious&lt;br&gt;processions are not allowed&lt;br&gt;through Muslim localities. Why?&lt;br&gt;Does this not perpetuate the&lt;br&gt;   communal divide?&lt;br&gt;80. Is a Dist. Magistrate/Police&lt;br&gt;Commissioner justified in treating&lt;br&gt;a particular area in our country as&lt;br&gt;alien territory (by not allowing&lt;br&gt;Hindu processions there)? Is he&lt;br&gt;not violating our constitution? Is&lt;br&gt;   he not abetting communal divide?&lt;br&gt;81. In six states - J&amp;amp;K, Punjab,&lt;br&gt;Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya,&lt;br&gt;Mizoram and Nagaland - where&lt;br&gt;Hindus are minorities, they do not&lt;br&gt;have minority rights. But others&lt;br&gt;who are in majority still enjoy&lt;br&gt;   minority rights there? Is this not&lt;br&gt;ridiculous?&lt;br&gt;82. In which Islamic States are&lt;br&gt;Hindus extended the special rights&lt;br&gt;that Muslims are accorded in&lt;br&gt;India? Likewise, in which&lt;br&gt;Christian State, the Christian&lt;br&gt;   majority accorded Hindus the&lt;br&gt;special rights that India accords&lt;br&gt;the Christians?&lt;br&gt;83. Do you know that Mother&lt;br&gt;Teresa projected a negative&lt;br&gt;image of India - of dying without&lt;br&gt;dignity - to make money. Did she&lt;br&gt;   ever attempt to counter-balance&lt;br&gt;this image?&lt;br&gt;84. Do you think that Nehru&lt;br&gt;family is the only family which&lt;br&gt;fought for freedom or there were&lt;br&gt;other freedom fighters too? - like&lt;br&gt;Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar&lt;br&gt;   Azad, Madan Lal Dingra,&lt;br&gt;Vaanchinathan, Chapekar&lt;br&gt;Brothers, Veer Savarkar, Raj&lt;br&gt;Guru, Subhash Chandra Bose,&lt;br&gt;Udam Singh, etc.&lt;br&gt;85. There are some pockets in&lt;br&gt;Godhra where Sales Tax/ Income&lt;br&gt;Tax/Electricity Personnel cannot&lt;br&gt;   enter. Even policemen do not&lt;br&gt;tread, unless in huge numbers.&lt;br&gt;This is not the case where Hindus&lt;br&gt;are in majority. Can you explain&lt;br&gt;the reason?&lt;br&gt;86. In support of Ishrat Jahan, the&lt;br&gt;lovely terrorist from Mumbra shot&lt;br&gt;   dead by the Ahmedabad police,&lt;br&gt;the whole locality observed a&lt;br&gt;Bandh and every one participated&lt;br&gt;in her funeral. If this is not&lt;br&gt;supporting terrorism, what it is?&lt;br&gt;87. China is still showing&lt;br&gt;Arunachal Pradesh as its territory.&lt;br&gt;   Will you please ask a Communist&lt;br&gt;to condemn this? He will not. For&lt;br&gt;Left outfits, Communist&lt;br&gt;camaraderie comes before the&lt;br&gt;interest of the nation. Are&lt;br&gt;Communists nationalists?&lt;br&gt;88. &amp;quot;The list of those I want to&lt;br&gt;   kill is very long, but I will shoot&lt;br&gt;Modi if I am given a pistol&amp;quot; said&lt;br&gt;Vijay Tendulkar. Do you consider&lt;br&gt;him a Human Rights Activist or a&lt;br&gt;terrorist?&lt;br&gt;89. In Mallapuram (Kerala), a&lt;br&gt;doctor found that 3 generations of&lt;br&gt;   Muslim women - daughter-13,&lt;br&gt;mother- 26 and grandmother-39&lt;br&gt;- all pregnant being admitted for&lt;br&gt;delivery. Do you still think that&lt;br&gt;family planning is unnecessary for&lt;br&gt;Muslims?&lt;br&gt;90. Lalu Prasad Yadav gave a&lt;br&gt;  resounding slap on the face of&lt;br&gt; judiciary by derisively and openly&lt;br&gt;notifying his palatial house as Jail.&lt;br&gt;Do you still feel all are equal&lt;br&gt;before law?&lt;br&gt;91. The author of Ramanayan,&lt;br&gt;Rishi Valmiki, was a bandit. Same&lt;br&gt;way, the author of Mahabharat,&lt;br&gt;   Veda Vyas, was a fisherman. Both&lt;br&gt;the epics and the authors are&lt;br&gt;revered by all Hindus. Do you still&lt;br&gt;think that Hinduism supports&lt;br&gt;casteism?&lt;br&gt;92. In 2002, the Karnataka&lt;br&gt;Govt.&amp;#39;s revenue from temples was&lt;br&gt;   Rs.72 crores. Out of this, 50&lt;br&gt;crores were given to Madrassas,&lt;br&gt;10 crores to Churches and only&lt;br&gt;10 crores to Temples. Why&lt;br&gt;Hindus should pay for&lt;br&gt;development of Madrassas&lt;br&gt;(terrorist factories) and&lt;br&gt;Churches?&lt;br&gt;   93. When Taliban demolished the&lt;br&gt;Buddha statue in Afghanistan,&lt;br&gt;Times of India wrote that it was&lt;br&gt;in reaction to the demolition of&lt;br&gt;Babri mosque. Do you agree to&lt;br&gt;this justification by TOI? Is tit-&lt;br&gt;for-tat OK? Then why do you&lt;br&gt;   criticize Gujarat riots in reaction&lt;br&gt;to Godhra carnage?&lt;br&gt;94. &amp;quot;Genocide&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Holocaust&amp;quot; are&lt;br&gt;the words used by the media for&lt;br&gt;the riots in Gujarat. But do you&lt;br&gt;know that Jews and Parsis were&lt;br&gt;  never persecuted and lived and&lt;br&gt; prospered in total freedom in&lt;br&gt;India?&lt;br&gt;95. In Pondicherry a Muslim was&lt;br&gt;denied burial because he&lt;br&gt;constructed a temple for Lord&lt;br&gt;Muruga. Do you still think&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Religions do not teach to hate&lt;br&gt;one another&amp;quot;?&lt;br&gt;   96. Why Mother Teresa did not&lt;br&gt;stay in her native country,&lt;br&gt;Albenia, and help poor there?&lt;br&gt;Why Greham Staines did not stay&lt;br&gt;in Australia and help needy&lt;br&gt;people there? Why Sonia Gandhi&lt;br&gt;selects India, and not Italy, for her&lt;br&gt;   service to the poor? Why do you&lt;br&gt;want imported leaders - like&lt;br&gt;imported religion and imported&lt;br&gt;products? Is India a land for all&lt;br&gt;and sundry?&lt;br&gt;97. Are you aware that illegal&lt;br&gt;immigrants from Bangladesh are&lt;br&gt;   settled in an area where Hindu&lt;br&gt;candidates win by a narrow&lt;br&gt;margin, so as to change the trend&lt;br&gt;in the next election?&lt;br&gt;98. In 1989 election manifesto of&lt;br&gt;Congress, Rajiv Gandhi declared&lt;br&gt;that if the people of Mizoram&lt;br&gt;   voted the Congress to power, it&lt;br&gt;would run the govt. on the basis&lt;br&gt;of teachings of Bible. If this is not&lt;br&gt;communalism, what it is?&lt;br&gt;99. Shaikh-al-Sayeed Yusuf Sayed&lt;br&gt;Hashim al Rifai of Kuwait, the&lt;br&gt;chairman of the World Muslim&lt;br&gt;   Minority Community, was allowed&lt;br&gt;to land in Kerala without visa. He&lt;br&gt;was not only not arrested but was&lt;br&gt;given royal treatment as a guest&lt;br&gt;of the govt. of Kerala and was&lt;br&gt;provided with govt. cars to enable&lt;br&gt;him to carry on conversion. Is this&lt;br&gt;   promoting nationalism?&lt;br&gt;100. If a Muslim in Britain or USA&lt;br&gt;(secular countries) cannot marry&lt;br&gt;more than one woman, why&lt;br&gt;should he be allowed in India to&lt;br&gt;marry more?&lt;br&gt;101. The Pope was invited to&lt;br&gt;visit India, but the King of Nepal,&lt;br&gt;   Mahendra, was not allowed to&lt;br&gt;participate in the Makar&lt;br&gt;Sankaranti function at Nagpur in&lt;br&gt;1965? Is this secularism?&lt;br&gt;102. In the Hindu Code Bill, a&lt;br&gt;Hindu is defined as not being a&lt;br&gt;Muslim, Christian, or Parsi. It is an&lt;br&gt;   inclusive and unifying definition -&lt;br&gt;to include all others - Sikhs, Jains,&lt;br&gt;Buddhists, etc. Then how come&lt;br&gt;our present- day politicians have&lt;br&gt;fragmented the Hindu society, can&lt;br&gt;you ponder?&lt;br&gt;103. Tipu Sultan wanted to&lt;br&gt;   Islamise the entire south India. He&lt;br&gt;was prevented from doing so by&lt;br&gt;the British, as British wanted to&lt;br&gt;rule them. So he had to fight the&lt;br&gt;British first. Is he a Indian&lt;br&gt;freedom fighter? If yes, are&lt;br&gt;Babar, Aurangazeb, Afzal Khan,&lt;br&gt;   Gazhni, etc. too?&lt;br&gt;104. An English daily published&lt;br&gt;Sonia Gandhi&amp;#39;s speech on&lt;br&gt;Hinduism under the column of&lt;br&gt;spiritualism! Is this not ridiculous,&lt;br&gt;and insulting Hinduism too? Have&lt;br&gt;our presspersons become&lt;br&gt;   intellectually bankrupt?&lt;br&gt;105. Ashoka and Kanishka ruled&lt;br&gt;Afghanistan. Khandari, mother of&lt;br&gt;Duryodhana, came from Khandar,&lt;br&gt;now in Afghanistan. Do you&lt;br&gt;believe that Afghanistan was once&lt;br&gt;an integral part of India?&lt;br&gt;   106. Our Sanatan Dharm was&lt;br&gt;time immemorial. But still&lt;br&gt;Bharatvarsh was continually&lt;br&gt;partitioned - Iran, Afghanistan,&lt;br&gt;Burma, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan,&lt;br&gt;Bangladesh, etc. Today Kashmir is&lt;br&gt;with India not because of Sanatan&lt;br&gt;   Dharma but because of our&lt;br&gt;security forces. Do you agree that&lt;br&gt;for dismembering Bharat, one has&lt;br&gt;to target our Sanatan Dharm.&lt;br&gt;107. The Baptist Church in&lt;br&gt;Tripura was set up by&lt;br&gt;missionaries from New Zealand&lt;br&gt;   60 years ago. Do you think the&lt;br&gt;Church will promote nationalism?&lt;br&gt;108. Students in Pakistan are&lt;br&gt;taught from the very beginning&lt;br&gt;that Hindus are our enemies, that&lt;br&gt;Hindus can never be our friends&lt;br&gt;and that Kafirs (Hindus) are to be&lt;br&gt;   killed. Do you still think that&lt;br&gt;friendship is possible with&lt;br&gt;Pakistan?&lt;br&gt;109. The defence establishment&lt;br&gt;of secular America observes&lt;br&gt;Church services for Good Friday,&lt;br&gt;a pure religious ritual, and&lt;br&gt;deliberately asks evangelists to&lt;br&gt;   address security personnel. Can&lt;br&gt;you imagine the Indian Army or&lt;br&gt;Navy or Air Force doing a puja&lt;br&gt;and inviting a Shankaracharya to&lt;br&gt;address them?&lt;br&gt;110. Pakistan is an Islamic&lt;br&gt;country. But for a by-pass surgery&lt;br&gt;   or cancer operation, they come to&lt;br&gt;India. How come a country, which&lt;br&gt;has developed nuclear weapon,&lt;br&gt;did not develop good hospitals&lt;br&gt;and world class doctors? Does this&lt;br&gt;mean that Pakistanis are only&lt;br&gt;trigger happy, at the cost of&lt;br&gt;   development and health services?&lt;br&gt;111. Communist leader Stalin&amp;#39;s&lt;br&gt;daughter, Swetlana, wished to&lt;br&gt;marry Dinesh Singh&amp;#39;s brother and&lt;br&gt;settle in India. Our Communists&lt;br&gt;and Indira Gandhi opposed this.&lt;br&gt;How do they now support an&lt;br&gt;   Italian lady?&lt;br&gt;112. When Yoga has become a&lt;br&gt;multimillion dollar industry in&lt;br&gt;USA, why our govt. is blind to this&lt;br&gt;human- development technology?&lt;br&gt;Is it because it is a part of Hindu&lt;br&gt;culture?&lt;br&gt;113. In a Pooja, the `sankalpa&amp;#39;&lt;br&gt;   begins with &amp;quot;Bharata varshe,&lt;br&gt;Bharata kande ...&amp;quot;. What are&lt;br&gt;they? Do you still think that&lt;br&gt;spiritualism and nationalism are&lt;br&gt;different or are they the two eyes&lt;br&gt;of the nation?&lt;br&gt;114. Spiritualism and nationalism&lt;br&gt;   are inseparable in Bharat. Don&amp;#39;t&lt;br&gt;you think that without spiritualism&lt;br&gt;Bharat will be like a body without&lt;br&gt;soul?&lt;br&gt;115. Why should practising my&lt;br&gt;religion or wearing my religious&lt;br&gt;symbol hurt the feelings of other&lt;br&gt;   religionists, when their practising&lt;br&gt;their religion or wearing their&lt;br&gt;religious symbol does not hurt me&lt;br&gt;at all? If this is not religious&lt;br&gt;hatred, what else is?&lt;br&gt;116. Is it not true that from&lt;br&gt;1920, the Britishers, knowing that&lt;br&gt;   their rule is going to end soon,&lt;br&gt;started doling out large plots of&lt;br&gt;land to Christian organisations and&lt;br&gt;Churches at throw away prices?&lt;br&gt;117. Kanchi Shankaracharya is not&lt;br&gt;allowed to perform pooja and eat&lt;br&gt;the food he likes, but Pappu&lt;br&gt;   Yadav is allowed all facilities&lt;br&gt;inside Jail, including Mobile phone&lt;br&gt;facility for contacting even Bihar&lt;br&gt;Jail Mantri. Is this equality before&lt;br&gt;law?&lt;br&gt;118. Muslims convicts in jail are&lt;br&gt;allowed time for Namaz and also&lt;br&gt;   given all facilities for observing&lt;br&gt;Ramzan fasting. Then why Kanchi&lt;br&gt;Shankaracharya, only an accused,&lt;br&gt;is denied facilities for performing&lt;br&gt;Puja in jail?&lt;br&gt;119. Armstrong, the US astronaut,&lt;br&gt;landed in moon in 1969. Since&lt;br&gt;   then many astronauts have done&lt;br&gt;so. Can you inform this to your&lt;br&gt;Muslim friend and see whether he&lt;br&gt;admits this fact?&lt;br&gt;120. Temples are over-crowded&lt;br&gt;in TN. Durga pooja is celebrated&lt;br&gt;on a grand scale in West Bengal.&lt;br&gt;   Still in both the states, the God-&lt;br&gt;fearing people vote for atheists.&lt;br&gt;Why?&lt;br&gt;121. In Hinduism, you find a lot&lt;br&gt;of `Reformers&amp;#39;. Why such&lt;br&gt;reformers are not found in other&lt;br&gt;religions? Do they not need&lt;br&gt;reform?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/feeds/1568090865568186474/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/are-hindus-cowards.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/1568090865568186474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/1568090865568186474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/are-hindus-cowards.html' title='Are Hindus Cowards?'/><author><name>Devi Guru Prasad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02497370302594500439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qk0rUlTRxsiqlETj8Ladk30bjMxH1d3_1RjjpgG00xwaBYtwbeTlRnsmngIOyHmW9R3JMSCBRuueEuWb0JKDfNXGYt1urAEvorPfUJyyHtm62Xd-cK8ZZCLrXwsECC0/s220/19.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805671893268303340.post-1820467275747563759</id><published>2011-07-28T22:56:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-07-28T22:57:18.112+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Oppose the proposed draconian anti-Hindu &#39;Anti-Superstitions&#39; Bill l Online signature drive</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;gmail_quote&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;gmail_quote&quot;&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;font-family:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-variant:inherit;font-weight:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit;font-size-adjust:inherit;font-stretch:inherit&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;   &lt;blockquote style=&quot;border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:normal&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;O Hindus, Strongly oppose the proposed draconian anti-Hindu &amp;#39;Anti-Superstitions&amp;#39; Bill&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#e6f5ff&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/religious/anti-faith-bill/intro.php#sign&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Click here to participate in online signature campaign and voice your protest !&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;         &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;              &lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The monsoon session of State Legislative Assembly will start from  25th July 2011. The Government has decided to pass the  Anti-Superstitions Bill which is actually an attack on Hindu Dharma.  &lt;/b&gt;Maharashtra Andha-shraddha Nirmulan Samiti (MANS) has been using  pressure tactics on the Government by holding press conferences at  various places in favour of the proposed Bill and by warning the  Government to undertake &amp;#39;Jail Bharo&amp;#39; movement. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)&quot;&gt;If this Bill is passed,  religious acts performed as prescribed in Hindu Dharma and rituals will  be considered as a non-bailable offence. It is also likely that &amp;#39;puja&amp;#39;,  rituals, &amp;#39;homa-havan&amp;#39; performed in temples could be treated as offence.  Religious organizations and trustees propagating Dharma and Dharmacharan  can fall within the purview of this Bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Therefore, all devout Hindus, temple trustees, religious organizations and parties can  undertake following measures to oppose the said Bill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Measures to be undertaken to oppose the Black Magic Bill&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. Meet local MLAs, guardian ministers, ministers, State ministers  etc. and elected representatives and put forth before them the facts  about the proposed Act and insist that they should become active and see  to it that the Act is not passed in the forthcoming session.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Submit representations to local district collectors, tehsildars  and administrative officers and demand cancellation of the Act.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Plan agitation by bringing together organizations that have  similar views on the subject at district, taluka, and village level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Participate in online signature drive on HJS&amp;#39; website at this link.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/religious/anti-faith-bill/#sign&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.hindujagruti.org/activities/campaigns/religious/anti-faith-bill/#sign&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;          &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Write letters to Chief Minister, Dy. Chief Minister and Minister  for Social Justice by self, get such letters written from devout Hindus  and organizations protesting against passing of the said Act.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;                              			&lt;br&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;90%&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;1&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor=&quot;#e6f5ff&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; &lt;h3 align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;Contact details of Ministers&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:left&quot;&gt;             &lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;1.

The  tomb should be understood to signify Not A Building but only the grave  or centotaph inside it.

Thirdly, the period of 22 years is  taken from some mumbo jumbo noting by an unreliab&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;le French visitor Tavernier, to the exclusion of all muslim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt; versions, which is an absurdity.&lt;br /&gt;
Prince  Aurangzeb&#39;s letter (Refer to Figure 1 above) to his father, emperor  Shahjahan, is recorded in atleast three chronicles titled  Aadaab-e-Alamgiri, Yadgarnama, and the Muruqqa-i-Akbarabadi (edited by  Said Ahmed, Agra, 1931, page 43, foot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;note  2). In that letter Aurangzeb records in 1652 A.D itself that the  several buildings in the fancied burial place of Mumtaz were seven  storeyed and were so old that they were all leaking, while the dome had  developed a crack on the northern side.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;  Aurangzeb, therefore, ordered immediate repairs to the buildings at his  own expense while recommending to the emperor that more elaborate  repairs be carried out later. This is the proof that during Shahjahan&#39;s  reign itself that the Taj complex was so old as to need immediate  repairs.&lt;br /&gt;
The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur retains in his secret personal KapadDwara collection two orders from Shahjaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;n  dated Dec 18, 1633 (bearing modern nos. R.176 and 177) requestioning  the Taj building complex. That was so blatant a usurpation that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt; the then ruler of Jaipur was ashamed to make the document public.&lt;br /&gt;
The  Rajasthan State archives at Bikaner preserve three other firmans  addressed by Shahjahan to the Jaipur&#39;s ruler Jaisingh ordering the  latter to supply marble (for Mumtaz&#39;s grave and koranic grafts) from his  Makranna quarris, and stone cutters. Jaisingh was apparently so enraged  at the blatant seizure of the Tajmahal that he refused to oblige  Shahjahan by providing marble for grafting koranic engravings and fake  centotaphs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHgPKP4cBTbcsgR5QSvygFnoJnbOkORI7tVUPrzh8hdINkvfSSqwn_h746f0gAeOoooCyReF3zm4EzepFr71NCyzd-p98GuBdw8jF8c46XauWjY4vyYApChC55TjetmJWh-IFt-wLWj9v/s1600-h/IT-09.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059919171592107042&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzHgPKP4cBTbcsgR5QSvygFnoJnbOkORI7tVUPrzh8hdINkvfSSqwn_h746f0gAeOoooCyReF3zm4EzepFr71NCyzd-p98GuBdw8jF8c46XauWjY4vyYApChC55TjetmJWh-IFt-wLWj9v/s400/IT-09.jpg&quot; style=&quot;cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 190px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 322px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt; for further desecration of the Tajmahal.

Therefore, he refused to send any marble and instead  detained the stone cutters in his protective custody.&lt;br /&gt;
The three  firmans demanding marble were sent to Jaisingh within about two years of  Mumtaz&#39;s death. Had Shahjahan really built the Tajmahal over a period  of 22 years, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;the marble would have needed only after 15 or 20 years not immediately after Mumtaz&#39;s death.&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover,  the three mention neither the Tajmahal, nor Mumtaz, nor the burial. The  cost and the quantity of the stone also are not mentioned. This proves  that an insignificant quantity of marble was needed just for some  supercial tinkering and tampering with the Tajmahal. Even otherwise  Shahjahan could never hope to build a fabulous Tajmahal by abject  dependence for marble on a non cooper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;ative Jaisingh. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He  also adds that the cost of the scaffolding was more than that of the  entire work. The work that Shahjahan commissioned in the Tejomahalaya  Shiva temple was plundering at the costly fixtures inside it, uprooting  the Shiva idols, planting the centotaphs in their place on two stories,  inscribing the koran along the arches and walling up six of the seven  stories of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3333ff; font-size: 130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Taj.

Obviously, he  reffered to the silver doors, gold railing, the gem studded lattice and  strings of pearl hanging over Shiva&#39;s idol. Shahjahan comandeered the  building to grab all the wealth, making Mumtaz&#39;s death a convineant  pretext.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Johan Albert  Mandelslo, who describes life in agra in 1638 (only 7 years after  mumtaz&#39;s death) in detail (in his Voyages and Travels to West-Indies,  published by John Starkey and John Basset, London), makes no mention of  the Tajmahal being under constuction though it is commonly erringly  asserted or assumed that the Taj was being built from 1631 to 1653.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A  Sanskrit inscription too supports the conclusion that the Taj  originated as a Shiva temple. Wrongly termed as the Bateshwar  inscription (currently preserved on the top floor of the Lucknow  museum), it refers to the raising of a &quot;crystal white Shiva temple so  alluring that Lord Shiva once enshrined in it decided never to return to  Mount Kailash his usual abode&quot;. That inscription dated 1155 A.D. was  removed from the Tajmahal garden at Shahjahan&#39;s orders. Historicians and  Archeaologists have blundered in terming the insription the Bateshwar  inscription when the record doesn&#39;t say that it was found by Bateshwar.  It ought, in fact, to be called The Tejomahalaya inscription because it  was originally installed in the Taj garden before it was uprooted and  cast away at Shahjahan&#39;s command.&lt;br /&gt;
A clue to the tampering by  Shahjahan is found on pages 216-217, vol. 4, of Archealogiical Survey of  India Reports (published 1874) stating that a &quot;great square black  balistic pillar which, with the base and capital of another  pillar....now in the grounds of Agra, ...it is well known, once stood in  the garden of Tajmahal&quot;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Far  from the building of the Taj, Shahjahan disfigured it with black  koranic lettering and heavily robbed it of its Sanskrit inscription,  several idols and two huge stone elephants extending their trunks in a  welcome arch over the gateway where visitors these days buy entry  tickets. An Englishman, Thomas Twinning, records (pg.191 of his book  &quot;Travels in India A Hundred Years ago&quot;) that in November 1794 &quot;I arrived  at the high walls which enclose the Taj-e-Mahal and its circumjacent  buildings. I here got out of the palanquine and.....mounted a short  flight of steps leading to a beautiful portal which formed the centre of  this side of the Court Of Elephants as the great area was called.&quot; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;The  Taj Mahal is scrawled over with 14 chapters of the Koran but nowhere is  there even the slightest or the remotest allusion in that Islamic  overwriting to Shahjahan&#39;s authorship of the Taj. Had Shahjahan been the  builder he would have said so in so many words before beginning to  quote Koran.&lt;br /&gt;
That Shahjahan, far from building the marble Taj, only  disfigured it with black lettering is mentioned by the inscriber Amanat  Khan Shirazi himself in an inscription on the building. A close scrutiny  of the Koranic lettering reveals that they are grafts patched up with  bits of variegated stone on an ancient Shiva temple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A  wooden piece from the riverside doorway of the Taj subjected to the  carbon 14 test by an American Laboratory and initiated by Professors at  Pratt School of Architecture, New York, has revealed that the door to be  300 years older than Shahjahan,since the doors of the Taj, broken open  by Muslim invaders repeatedly from the 11th century onwards, had to b  replaced from time to time. The Taj edifice is much more older. It  belongs to 1155 A.D, i.e., almost 500 years anterior to Shahjahan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Well  known Western authorities on architechture like E.B.Havell, Mrs.Kenoyer  and Sir W.W.Hunterhave gone on record to say that the TajMahal is built  in the Hindu temple style. Havell points out the ground plan of the  ancient Hindu Chandi Seva Temple in Java is identical with that of the  Taj.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A central dome with cupolas at its four corners is a universal feature of Hindu temples.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  four marble pillars at the plinth corners are of the Hindu style. They  are used as lamp towers during night and watch towers during the day.  Such towers serve to demarcate the holy precincts. Hindu wedding altars  and the altar set up for God Satyanarayan worship have pillars raised at  the four corners.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  octagonal shape of the Tajmahal has a special Hindu significance because  Hindus alone have special names for the eight directions, and celestial  guards assigned to them. The pinnacle points to the heaven while the  foundation signifies to the nether world. Hindu forts, cities, palaces  and temples genrally have an octagonal layout or some octagonal features  so that together with the pinnacle and the foundation they cover all  the ten directions in which the king or God holds sway, according to  Hindu belief.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The Tajmahal  has a trident pinncle over the dome. A full scale of the trident  pinnacle is inlaid in the red stone courtyard to the east of the Taj.  The central shaft of the trident depicts a Kalash (sacred pot) holding  two bent mango leaves and a coconut. This is a sacred Hindu motif.  Identical pinnacles have been seen over Hindu and Buddhist temples in  the Himalayan region. Tridents are also depicted against a red lotus  background at the apex of the stately marble arched entrances on all  four sides of the Taj. People fondly but mistakenly believed all these  centuries that the Taj pinnacle depicts a Islamic cresent and star was a  lighting conductor installed by the British rulers in India.  Contrarily, the pinnacle is a marvel of Hindu metallurgy since the  pinnacle made of non rusting alloy, is also perhaps a lightning  deflector. That the pinnacle of the replica is drawn in the eastern  courtyard is significant because the east is of special importance to  the Hindus, as the direction in which the sun rises. The pinnacle on the  dome has the word `Allah&#39; on it after capture. The pinnacle figure on  the ground does not have the word Allah.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  two buildings which face the marble Taj from the east and west are  identical in design, size and shape and yet the eastern building is  explained away by Islamic tradition, as a community hall while the  western building is claimed to be a mosque. How could buildings meant  for radically different purposes be identical? This proves that the  western building was put to use as a mosque after seizure of the Taj  property by Shahjahan. Curiously enough the building being explained  away as a mosque has no minaret. They form a pair af reception pavilions  of the Tejomahalaya temple palace.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A  few yards away from the same flank is the Nakkar Khana alias DrumHouse  which is a intolerable incongruity for Islam. The proximity of the Drum  House indicates that the western annex was not originally a mosque.  Contrarily a drum house is a neccesity in a Hindu temple or palace  because Hindu chores,in the morning and evening, begin to the sweet  strains of music.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  embossed patterns on the marble exterior of the centotaph chamber wall  are foilage of the conch shell design and the Hindu letter OM. The  octagonally laid marble lattices inside the centotaph chamber depict  pink lotuses on their top railing. The Lotus, the conch and the OM are  the sacred motifs associated with the Hindu deities and temples.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  spot occupied by Mumtaz&#39;s centotaph was formerly occupied by the Hindu  Teja Linga a lithic representation of Lord Shiva. Around it are five  perambulatory passages. Perambulation could be done around the marble  lattice or through the spacious marble chambers surrounding the  centotaph chamber, and in the open over the marble platform. It is also  customary for the Hindus to have apertures along the perambulatory  passage, overlooking the deity. Such apertures exist in the  perambulatories in the Tajmahal.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  sanctom sanctorum in the Taj has silver doors and gold railings as  Hindu temples have. It also had nets of pearl and gems stuffed in the  marble lattices. It was the lure of this wealth which made Shahjahan  commandeer the Taj from a helpless vassal Jaisingh, the then ruler of  Jaipur.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Peter Mundy, a  Englishman records (in 1632, within a year of Mumtaz&#39;s death) having  seen a gem studded gold railing around her tomb. Had the Taj been under  construction for 22 years, a costly gold railing would not have been  noticed by Peter mundy within a year of Mumtaz&#39;s death. Such costl  fixtures are installed in a building only after it is ready for use.  This indicates that Mumtaz&#39;s centotaph was grafted in place of the  Shivalinga in the centre of the gold railings. Subsequently the gold  railings, silver doors, nets of pearls, gem fillings etc. were all  carried away to Shahjahan&#39;s treasury. The seizure of the Taj thus  constituted an act of highhanded Moghul robery causing a big row between  Shahjahan and Jaisingh.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;In  the marble flooring around Mumtaz&#39;s centotaph may be seen tiny mosaic  patches. Those patches indicate the spots where the support for the gold  railings were embedded in the floor. They indicate a rectangular  fencing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Above Mumtaz&#39;s  centotaph hangs a chain by which now hangs a lamp. Before capture by  Shahjahan the chain used to hold a water pitcher from which water used  to drip on the Shivalinga.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;It  is this earlier Hindu tradition in the Tajmahal which gave the Islamic  myth of Shahjahan&#39;s love tear dropping on Mumtaz&#39;s tomb on the full moon  day of the winter eve. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Between  the so-called mosque and the drum house is a multistoried octagonal  well with a flight of stairs reaching down to the water level. This is a  traditional treasury well in Hindu temple palaces. Treasure chests used  to be kept in the lower apartments while treasury personnel had their  offices in the upper chambers. The circular stairs made it difficult for  intruders to reach down to the treasury or to escape with it undetected  or unpursued. In case the premises had to be surrendered to a besieging  enemy the treasure could be pushed into the well to remain hidden from  the conquerer and remain safe for salvaging if the place was  reconquered. Such an elaborate multistoried well is superflous for a  mere mausoleum. Such a grand, gigantic well is unneccesary for a tomb. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Had  Shahjahan really built the Taj Mahal as a wonder mausoleum, history  would have recorded a specific date on which she was ceremoniously  buried in the Taj Mahal. No such date is ever mentioned. This important  missing detail decisively exposes the falsity of the Tajmahal legend.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Even  the year of Mumtaz&#39;s death is unknown. It is variously speculated to be  1629, 1630, 1631 or 1632. Had she deserved a fabulous burial, as is  claimed, the date of her death had not been a matter of much  speculation. In an harem teeming with 5000 women it was difficult to  keep track of dates of death. Apparently the date of Mumtaz&#39;s death was  so insignificant an event, as not to merit any special notice. Who would  then build a Taj for her burial? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Stories  of Shahjahan&#39;s exclusive infatuation for Mumtaz&#39;s are concoctions. They  have no basis in history nor has any book ever written on their fancied  love affairs. Those stories have been invented as an afterthought to  make Shahjahan&#39;s authorship of the Taj look plausible. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  cost of the Taj is nowhere recorded in Shahjahan&#39;s court papers because  Shahjahan never built the Tajmahal. That is why wild estimates of the  cost by gullible writers have ranged from 4 million to 91.7 million  rupees. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Twenty  thousand labourers are supposed to have worked for 22 years during  Shahjahan&#39;s reign in building the Tajmahal. Had this been true, there  should have been available in Shahjahan&#39;s court papers design drawings,  heaps of labour muster rolls, daily expenditure sheets, bills and  receipts of material ordered, and commisioning orders. There is not even  a scrap of paper of this kind.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;It  is, therefore, court flatterers, blundering historians, somnolent  archeologists, fiction writers, senile poets, careless tourists  officials and erring guides who are responsible for hustling the world  into believing in Shahjahan&#39;s mythical authorship of the Taj.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Description  of the gardens around the Taj of Shahjahan&#39;s time mention Ketaki, Jai,  Jui, Champa, Maulashree, Harshringar and Bel. All these are plants whose  flowers or leaves are used in the worship of Hindu deities. Bel leaves  are exclusively used in Lord Shiva&#39;s worship. A graveyard is planted  only with shady trees because the idea of using fruit and flower from  plants in a cemetary is abhorrent to human conscience. The presence of  Bel and other flower plants in the Taj garden is proof of its having  been a Shiva temple before seizure by Shahjahan.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Hindu  temples are often built on river banks and sea beaches. The Taj is one  such built on the bank of the Yamuna river an ideal location for a Shiva  temple.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Prophet Mohammad  has ordained that the burial spot of a muslim should be inconspicous and  must not be marked by even a single tombstone. In flagrant violation of  this, the Tajamhal has one grave in the basement and another in the  first floor chamber both ascribed to Mumtaz. Those two centotaphs were  infact erected by Shahjahan to bury the two tier Shivalingas that were  consecrated in the Taj. It is customary for Hindus to install two  Shivalingas one over the other in two stories as may be seen in the  Mahankaleshwar temple in Ujjain and the Somnath temple raised by  Ahilyabai in Somnath Pattan.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  Tajmahal has identical entrance arches on all four sides. This is a  typical Hindu building style known as Chaturmukhi, i.e.,four faced. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  Tajmahal has a reverberating dome. Such a dome is an absurdity for a  tomb which must ensure peace and silence. Contrarily reverberating domes  are a neccesity in Hindu temples because they create an ecstatic  dinmultiplying and magnifying the sound of bells, drums and pipes  accompanying the worship of Hindu deities.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  Tajmahal dome bears a lotus cap. Original Islamic domes have a bald top  as is exemplified by the Pakistan Embassy in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi,  and the domes in the Pakistan&#39;s newly built capital Islamabad.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The Tajmahal entrance faces south. Had the Taj been an Islamic building it should have faced the west. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

TOMB IS THE GRAVE, NOT THE BUILDING &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A  widespread misunderstanding has resulted in mistaking the building for  the grave.Invading Islam raised graves in captured buildings in every  country it overran. Therefore, hereafter people must learn not to  confound the building with the grave mounds which are grafts in  conquered buildings. This is true of the Tajmahal too. One may therefore  admit (for arguments sake) that Mumtaz lies buried inside the Taj. But  that should not be construed to mean that the Taj was raised over  Mumtaz&#39;s grave.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The Taj is  a seven storied building. Prince Aurangzeb also mentions this in his  letter to Shahjahan (Refer to the Figure 1 above). The marble edifice  comprises four stories including the lone, tall circular hall inside the  top, and the lone chamber in the basement. In between are two floors  each containing 12 to 15 palatial rooms. Below the marble plinth  reaching down to the river at the rear are two more stories in red  stone. They may be seen from the river bank. The seventh storey must be  below the ground (river) level since every ancient Hindu building had a  subterranian storey.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Immediately  bellow the marble plinth on the river flank are 22 rooms in red stone  with their ventilators all walled up by Shahjahan. Those rooms, made  uninhibitably by Shahjahan, are kept locked by Archealogy Department of  India. The lay visitor is kept in the dark about them. Those 22 rooms  still bear ancient Hindu paint on their walls and ceilings. On their  side is a nearly 33 feet long corridor. There are two door frames one at  either end ofthe corridor. But those doors are intriguingly sealed with  brick and lime.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Apparently  those doorways originally sealed by Shahjahan have been since unsealed  and again walled up several times. In 1934 a resident of Delhi took a  peep inside from an opening in the upper part of the doorway. To his  dismay he saw huge hall inside. It contained many statues huddled around  a central beheaded image of Lord Shiva. It could be that, in there, are  Sanskrit inscriptions too. All the seven stories of the Tajmahal need  to be unsealed and scoured to ascertain what evidence they may be hiding  in the form of Hindu images, Sanskrit inscriptions, scriptures, coins  and utensils.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Apart from  Hindu images hidden in the sealed stories it is also learnt that Hindu  images are also stored in the massive walls of the Taj. Between 1959 and  1962 when Mr. S.R. Rao was the Archealogical Superintendent in Agra, he  happened to notice a deep and wide crack in the wall of the central  octagonal chamber of the Taj. When a part of the wall was dismantled to  study the crack out popped two or three marble images. The matter was  hushed up and the images were reburied where they had been embedded at  Shahjahan&#39;s behest. Confirmation of this has been obtained from several  sources. It was only when I began my investigation into the antecedents  of the Taj I came across the above information which had remained a  forgotten secret. What better proof is needed of the Temple origin of  the Tajmahal? Its walls and sealed chambers still hide in Hindu idols  that were consecrated in it before Shahjahan&#39;s seizure of the Taj.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Apparently  the Taj as a central palace seems to have an chequered history. The Taj  was perhaps desecrated and looted by every Muslim invader from Mohammad  Ghazni onwards but passing into Hindu hands off and on, the sanctity of  the Taj as a Shiva temple continued to be revived after every muslim  onslaught. Shahjahan was the last muslim to desecrate the Tajmahal alias  Tejomahalay.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Vincent  Smith records in his book titled `Akbar the Great Moghul&#39; that `Babur&#39;s  turbulent life came to an end in his garden palace in Agra in 1630&#39;.  That palace was none other than the Tajmahal.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Babur&#39;s daughter Gulbadan Begum in her chronicle titled Humayun Nama refers to the Taj as the Mystic House.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Babur  himself refers to the Taj in his memoirs as the palace captured by  Ibrahim Lodi containing a central octagonal chamber and having pillars  on the four sides. All these historical references allude to the Taj 100  years before Shahjahan.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  Tajmahal precincts extend to several hundred yards in all directions.  Across the river are ruins of the annexes of the Taj, the bathing ghats  and a jetty for the ferry boat. In the Victoria gardens outside covered  with creepers is the long spur of the ancient outer wall ending in a  octagonal red stone tower. Such extensive grounds all magnificently done  up, are a superfluity for a grave.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Had  the Taj been specially built to bury Mumtaz, it should not have been  cluttered with other graves. But the Taj premises contain several graves  atleast in its eastern and southern pavilions.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;In  the southern flank, on the other side of the Tajganj gate are buried in  identical pavilions queens Sarhandi Begum, and Fatehpuri Begum and a  maid Satunnisa Khanum. Such parity burial can be justified only if the  queens had been demoted or the maid promoted. But since Shahjahan had  commandeered (not built) the Taj, he reduced it general to a muslim  cemetary as was the habit of all his Islamic predeccssors, and buried a  queen in a vacant pavillion and a maid in another idenitcal pavilion.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Shahjahan  was married to several other women before and after Mumtaz. She,  therefore, deserved no special consideration in having a wonder  mausoleum built for her.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Mumtaz was a commoner by birth and so she did not qualify for a fairyland burial.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Mumtaz  died in Burhanpur which is about 600 miles from Agra. Her grave there  is intact. Therefore, the centotaphs raised in stories of the Taj in her  name seem to be fakes hiding in Hindu Shiva emblems.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Shahjahan  seems to have simulated Mumtaz&#39;s burial in Agra to find a pretext to  surround the temple palace with his fierce and fanatic troops and remove  all the costly fixtures in his treasury. This finds confirmation in the  vague noting in the Badshahnama which says that the Mumtaz&#39;s (exhumed)  body was brought to Agra from Burhanpur and buried `next year&#39;. An  official term would not use a nebulous term unless it is to hide some  thing.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A pertinent  consideration is that a Shahjahan who did not build any palaces for  Mumtaz while she was alive, would not build a fabulous mausoleum for a  corpse which was no longer kicking or clicking.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Another  factor is that Mumtaz died within two or three years of Shahjahan  becoming an emperor. Could he amass so much superflous wealth in that  short span as to squander it on a wonder mausoleum?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;While  Shahjahan&#39;s special attachment to Mumtaz is nowhere recorded in history  his amorous affairs with many other ladies from maids to mannequins  including his own daughter Jahanara, find special attention in accounts  of Shahjahan&#39;s reign. Would Shahjahan shower his hard earned wealth on  Mumtaz&#39;s corpse?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Shahjahan  was a stingy, usurious monarch. He came to throne murdering all his  rivals. He was not therefore, the doting spendthrift that he is made out  to be.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A Shahjahan  disconsolate on Mumtaz&#39;s death is suddenly credited with a resolve to  build the Taj. This is a psychological incongruity. Grief is a  disabling, incapacitating emotion.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A  infatuated Shahjahan is supposed to have raised the Taj over the dead  Mumtaz, but carnal, physical sexual love is again a incapacitating  emotion. A womaniser is ipso facto incapable of any constructive  activity. When carnal love becomes uncontrollable the person either  murders somebody or commits suicide. He cannot raise a Tajmahal. A  building like the Taj invariably originates in an ennobling emotion like  devotion to God, to one&#39;s mother and mother country or power and glory.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Early  in the year 1973, chance digging in the garden in front of the Taj  revealed another set of fountains about six feet below the present  fountains. This proved two things. Firstly, the subterranean fountains  were there before Shahjahan laid the surface fountains. And secondly  that those fountains are aligned to the Taj that edifice too is of pre  Shahjahan origin. Apparently the garden and its fountains had sunk from  annual monsoon flooding and lack of maintenance for centuries during the  Islamic rule.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The stately  rooms on the upper floor of the Tajmahal have been striped of their  marble mosaic by Shahjahan to obtain matching marble for raising fake  tomb stones inside the Taj premises at several places. Contrasting with  the rich finished marble ground floor rooms the striping of the marble  mosaic covering the lower half of the walls and flooring of the upper  storey have given those rooms a ., robbed look. Since no visitors are  allowed entry to the upper storey this despoilation by Shahjahan has  remained a well guarded secret. There is no reason why Shahjahan&#39;s loot  of the upper floor marble should continue to be hidden from the public  even after 200 years of termination of Moghul rule.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Bernier,  the French traveller has recorded that no non muslim was allowed entry  into the secret nether chambers of the Taj because there are some  dazzling fixtures there. Had those been installed by Shahjahan they  should have been shown the public as a matter of pride. But since it was  commandeered Hindu wealth which Shahjahan wanted to remove to his  treasury, he didn&#39;t want the public to know about it.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  approach to Taj is dotted with hillocks raised with earth dugout from  foundation trenches. The hillocks served as outer defences of the Taj  building complex. Raising such hillocks from foundation earth, is a  common Hindu device of hoary origin. Nearby Bharatpur provides a graphic  parallel. Peter Mundy has recorded that Shahjahan employed thousands of  labourers to level some of those hillocks. This is a graphic proof of  the Tajmahal existing before Shahjahan.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;At  the backside of the river bank is a Hindu crematorium, several palaces,  Shiva temples and bathings of ancient origin. Had Shahjahan built the  Tajmahal, he would have destroyed the Hindu features.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  story that Shahjahan wanted to build a Black marble Taj across the  river, is another motivated myth. The ruins dotting the other side of  the river are those of Hindu structures demolished during muslim  invasions and not the plinth of another Tajmahal. Shahjahan who did not  even build the white Tajmahal would hardly ever think of building a  black marble Taj. He was so miserly that he forced labourers to work  gratis even in the superficial tampering neccesary to make a Hindu  temple serve as a Muslim tomb.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  marble that Shahjahan used for grafting Koranic lettering in the Taj is  of a pale white shade while the rest of the Taj is built of a marble  with rich yellow tint. This disparity is proof of the Koranic extracts  being a superimposition.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Though  imaginative attempts have been made by some historians to foist some  fictitious name on history as the designer of the Taj others more  imaginative have credited Shajahan himself with superb architechtural  proficiency and artistic talent which could easily concieve and plan the  Taj even in acute bereavment. Such people betray gross ignorance of  history in as much as Shajahan was a cruel tyrant ,a great womaniser and  a drug and drink addict.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Fanciful  accounts about Shahjahan commisioning the Taj are all confused. Some  asserted that Shahjahan ordered building drawing from all over the world  and chose one from among them. Others assert that a man at hand was  ordered to design a mausoleum amd his design was approved. Had any of  those versions been true Shahjahan&#39;s court papers should have had  thousands of drawings concerning the Taj. But there is not even a single  drawing. This is yet another clinching proof that Shahjahan did not  commision the Taj.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The Tajmahal is surrounded by huge mansions which indicate that several battles have been waged around the Taj several times.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;At  the south east corner of the Taj is an ancient royal cattle house. Cows  attached to the Tejomahalay temple used to reared there. A cowshed is  an incongruity in an Islamic tomb.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Over the western flank of the Taj are several stately red stone annexes. These are superflous for a mausoleum.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  entire Taj complex comprises of 400 to 500 rooms. Residential  accomodation on such a stupendous scale is unthinkable in a mausoleum.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  neighbouring Tajganj township&#39;s massive protective wall also encloses  the Tajmahal temple palace complex. This is a clear indication that the  Tejomahalay temple palace was part and parcel of the township. A street  of that township leads straight into the Tajmahal. The Tajganj gate is  aligned in a perfect straight line to the octagonal red stone garden  gate and the stately entrance arch of the Tajmahal. The Tajganj gate  besides being central to the Taj temple complex, is also put on a  pedestal. The western gate by which the visitors enter the Taj complex  is a camparatively minor gateway. It has become the entry gate for most  visitors today because the railway station and the bus station are on  that side.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The Tajmahal has pleasure pavillions which a tomb would never have.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;A  tiny mirror glass in a gallery of the Red Fort in Agra reflects the Taj  mahal. Shahjahan is said to have spent his last eight years of life as a  prisoner in that gallery peering at the reflected Tajmahal and sighing  in the name of Mumtaz. This myth is a blend of many falsehoods. Firstly,  old Shajahan was held prisoner by his son Aurangzeb in the basement  storey in the Fort and not in an open, fashionable upper storey.  Secondly, the glass piece was fixed in the 1930&#39;s by Insha Allah Khan, a  peon of the archaelogy dept.just to illustrate to the visitors how in  ancient times the entire apartment used to scintillate with tiny mirror  pieces reflecting the Tejomahalay temple a thousand fold. Thirdly, a old  decrepit Shahjahan with pain in his joints and cataract in his eyes,  would not spend his day craning his neck at an awkward angle to peer  into a tiny glass piece with bedimmed eyesight when he could as well his  face around and have full, direct view of the Tjamahal itself. But the  general public is so gullible as to gulp all such prattle of wily,  unscrupulous guides.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;That  the Tajmahal dome has hundreds of iron rings sticking out of its  exterior is a feature rarely noticed. These are made to hold Hindu  earthen oil lamps for temple illumination.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Those  putting implicit faith in Shahjahan authorship of the Taj have been  imagining Shahjahan-Mumtaz to be a soft hearted romantic pair like Romeo  and Juliet. But contemporary accounts speak of Shahjahan as a hard  hearted ruler who was constantly egged on to acts of tyranny and  cruelty, by Mumtaz.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;School  and College history carry the myth that Shahjahan reign was a golden  period in which there was peace and plenty and that Shahjahan  commisioned many buildings and patronized literature. This is pure  fabrication. Shahjahan did not commision even a single building as we  have illustrated by a detailed analysis of the Tajmahal legend. Shahjahn  had to enrage in 48 military campaigns during a reign of nearly 30  years which proves that his was not a era of peace and plenty.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  interior of the dome rising over Mumtaz&#39;s centotaph has a  representation of Sun and cobras drawn in gold. Hindu warriors trace  their origin to the Sun. For an Islamic mausoleum the Sun is redundant.  Cobras are always associated with Lord Shiva. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &amp;quot;; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  muslim caretakers of the tomb in the Tajmahal used to possess a  document which they styled as Tarikh-i-Tajmahal. Historian H.G. Keene  has branded it as a document of doubtful authenticity. Keene was  uncannily right since we have seen that Shahjahan not being the creator  of the Tajmahal any document which credits Shahjahn with the Tajmahal,  must be an outright forgery. Even that forged document is reported to  have been smuggled out of Pakistan. Besides such forged documents there  are whole chronicles on the Taj which are pure concoctions.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;There  is lot of sophistry and casuistry or atleast confused thinking  associated with the Taj even in the minds of proffesional historians,  archaelogists and architects. At the outset they assert that the Taj is  entirely Muslim in design. But when it is pointed out that its lotus  capped dome and the four corner pillars etc. are all entirely Hindu  those worthies shift ground and argue that that was probably because the  workmen were Hindu and were to introduce their own patterns. Both these  arguments are wrong because Muslim accounts claim the designers to be  Muslim, and the workers invariably carry out the employer&#39;s dictates.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;The  Taj is only a typical illustration of how all historic buildings and  townships from Kashmir to Cape Comorin though of Hindu origin have been  ascribed to this or that Muslim ruler or courtier.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;It  is hoped that people the world over who study Indian history will  awaken to this new finding and revise their erstwhile beliefs.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-family: courier new;&quot;&gt;Those  interested in an indepth study of the above and many other  revolutionary rebuttals may read Shri P.N.

LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF &quot;THE TIMES OFINDIA&quot; TOTHE PRIME MINISTER OFINDIA&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that inBihar. Look at all the politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it toDelhi, so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligence agency &amp;amp; CBI, you and your finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld, isn&#39;t it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am everything - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Scheduled Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother India by your policy of divide and rule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn&#39;t even spare him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges andinsignificant local polititian of Jalgaon WHO&#39;S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber stamp in the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER OFINDIA&#39;S THREE DEFENCE FORCES. What morale you will expect from our defence forces? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for a good person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent person, a most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be politicalupheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Today I see that most of the women change their surname after  marriage. In Bharat, women have always been considered as herself. They  need not to change their identity for marriage. But due to influence of  western culture, it has been very common nowadays. In West, women have  very less conceptual value and they are supposed to have been made for  men.It is just an imported tradition.But in ancient Bharat, women never  change their identity and in spite of that they were ideal  lady(wife/mother/sisters etc). Sita, Radha, Laxmi, Uma etc are the  example of that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If we further take an example of Ramayan  and Mahabharat age, wife and husband were mutually identified by the  name of each other. Sitaraman, Jankiballabh, Durgesh, Umapati, Umesh are  the names of males which were derived from the respective female  counterparts and Sivangi, Vaishnavi, Maheshwari are the names of females  which were derived from the respective male counterpart.But their basic  names were always constant : Ram is always Ram and Sita is always Sita.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But  nowadays, only women change their identity by changing their basic  names. What do they need to do that? This is something that does not fit  into great bhartiya culture. Bhartiya culture considers &amp;amp; accepts  every entity as itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most of the hindu women change  their religion also when they marry in another religion which is very  bad. But muslim and christian women do not change their religion. I  appreciate muslim and christian women for that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This  is due to the fact that a negative-tradition(Kupratha) is running in  our society according to which women should have to adopt their  husband&#39;s surname by changing/modifying their actual name which is given  by their parents and family members. If any woman refuses to do that,  She is mentally torchered. Having been compelled by this fashion, they  have to change their identity. On the basis of this logic, they have to  change their religion also when they marry in another religion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;When  women go to their husband&#39;s home having left their parents home after  marriage, they do sucrifice for stabilishing the family(family values)  and society(sociel values). So they should be given privilleges in their  new family rather than being imposed to change their  identity(surname/religion). In our culture/society, a person who do  sacrifice for society is worshiped. But women, in spite of doing such a  big sacrifice for society are taken for granted and are expected to  leave their original identity. This is an injustful and and Anti-Vedic  tradition. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt; Also, If We look into our  social architecture, the women and their parent&#39;s side are considered  inferior to men and their parent&#39;s side. This is against the vedic  tradition whrere persons who do sacrifice are considered superior to  others.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So this kupratha must be removed, if we are really serious about women empowerment. What do you all think about that?&lt;br /&gt;

No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the&lt;br /&gt;
whole world has been duped. In his book&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;: The True Story, Oak says&lt;br /&gt;
the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;is not Queen Mumtaz&#39;s tomb but an ancient&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Hindu temple palace of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Lord Shiva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;(then known as&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Tejo Mahalaya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;) . In the course of his research O&lt;br /&gt;
ak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from&lt;br /&gt;
then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court ch ronicle,&lt;br /&gt;
Badshahnama,&lt;br /&gt;
Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra&lt;br /&gt;
was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz&#39;s burial . The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur&lt;br /&gt;
still&lt;br /&gt;
retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for&lt;br /&gt;
surrendering the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;building. Using captured temples and mansions, as a&lt;br /&gt;
burial place for&lt;br /&gt;
dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, Humayun,Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried&lt;br /&gt;
in such mansions. Oak&#39;s inquiries began with the name of&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;. He says&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the term &quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot; has&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;never been used for a building in any Muslim countries&lt;br /&gt;
from Afghanisthan to Algeria .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&quot;The unusual explanation that the term&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;derives from Mumtaz&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was illogical in atleast two respects.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Firstly, her name was never&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Mumtaz&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;but&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Mumtaz-ul-Zamani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;,&quot; he writes.&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters &#39;Mum&#39; from a woman&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;
name to derive the remainder as the name for the building.&quot;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;, he&lt;br /&gt;
claims, is a corrupt version of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva&#39;s Palace&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;. Oak&lt;br /&gt;
also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale cre ated&lt;br /&gt;
by&lt;br /&gt;
court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists Not a&lt;br /&gt;
single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan&#39;s time corroborates the love story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;predates&lt;br /&gt;
Shah Jahan&#39;s era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by&lt;br /&gt;
Rajputs of Agra city. For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a&lt;br /&gt;
few&lt;br /&gt;
samples from the riverside doorway of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;. Carbon dating tests revealed&lt;br /&gt;
that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European traveler Johan&lt;br /&gt;
Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;
death), describes the life of the cit y in his memoirs. But he makes no&lt;br /&gt;
reference to the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an&lt;br /&gt;
English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz&#39;s death, also suggest the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan&#39;s time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies&lt;br /&gt;
that support the belief of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;being a typical Hindu temple&lt;br /&gt;
rather&lt;br /&gt;
than a mausoleum. Many rooms in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Mahal&lt;/span&gt;have remained sealed&lt;br /&gt;
since Shah Jahan&#39;s time and are still inaccessible to the public&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;. Oak&lt;br /&gt;
asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects&lt;br /&gt;
commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: navy;&quot;&gt;Fearing political&lt;br /&gt;
backlash, Indira Gandhi&#39;s government t ried to have Prof. Oak&#39;s book&lt;br /&gt;
withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher of the&lt;br /&gt;
first edition dire consequences . There is only one way to discredit or&lt;br /&gt;
validate Oak&#39;s research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current government should open the sealed rooms of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #222222;&quot;&gt;Taj&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ma hal under&lt;br /&gt;
U.N. supervision, and let international experts investigate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do circulate this to all you know and let them know about this reality..... &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On the North side of the Taj Mahal, there is a platform 3 ft 6 inches wide and it runs for the entire length. The platform also has embedded into it several stone rings for anchoring boats. In the photo we can see two such stones, one in the lower right front corner, the other further up the stream. This shows that the building was planned for facilitating boats for river transportation for the residents in the Taj. Again, these are not something you would need for a quiet or even vacant grave site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

However, they were neither inviolable nor revered in the same way they are today. Some scholars have argued, citing early Hindu scriptures and archaeological evidence, that the cow has not always been sacred and that cows, oxen, and bulls were both sacrificed and eaten in Vedic times and to some extent even later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The cow was possibly revered because the largely&amp;nbsp;pastoral&amp;nbsp;Vedic people and subsequent generations relied heavily on it for&amp;nbsp;dairy products&amp;nbsp;and for tilling the fields, and on&amp;nbsp;cow dung&amp;nbsp;as a source of fuel,&amp;nbsp;fertilizer, and&amp;nbsp;psilocybin mushrooms&amp;nbsp;which naturally grow out of the animal&#39;s own excrement. Universally, Hindus still use cow dung for various purposes; the burning of cow dung creates an insecticide to repel mosquitoes, and ash formed from cow dung is used as a fertilizer. Thus, the cow’s status as a &#39;caretaker&#39; led to identifying it as an almost maternal figure (hence the term&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;gau mata&lt;/i&gt;). According to Buddhist texts, there was a Hindu sect taught to imitate a cow&#39;s acts for&amp;nbsp;reincarnation&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;deva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hinduism is based on the concept of omnipresence of the Divine, and the presence of a soul in all creatures, including bovines. Thus, by that definition, killing any animal would be a sin: one would be obstructing the natural cycle of birth and death of that creature, and the creature would have to be reborn in that same form because of its unnatural death. Historically, even&amp;nbsp;Krishna, one of the most revered forms of the Divine (Avatar), tended cows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Despite the differences of opinion regarding the origins of the cow&#39;s elevated status, reverence for cows appears throughout the major texts of the Hindu religion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em; width: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Sanskrit_term&quot;&gt;Sanskrit term&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The most common word for cow is&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;go&lt;/i&gt;,&amp;nbsp;cognate&amp;nbsp;with the English&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;cow&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Latin&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;bos&lt;/i&gt;, all from&amp;nbsp;PIE&amp;nbsp;cognates&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Unicode&quot; lang=&quot;ine&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Arial Unicode MS&#39;, &#39;Microsoft Sans Serif&#39;, &#39;Free Sans&#39;, &#39;Gentium Plus&#39;, &#39;Gentium Basic&#39;, Gentium, GentiumAlt, &#39;DejaVu Sans&#39;, &#39;DejaVu Serif&#39;, &#39;Free Serif&#39;, &#39;TITUS Cyberbit Basic&#39;, &#39;Bitstream Cyberbit&#39;, &#39;Bitstream CyberBase&#39;, &#39;Doulos SIL&#39;, Code2000, Code2001; white-space: nowrap;&quot; title=&quot;Proto-Indo-European language&quot; xml:lang=&quot;ine&quot;&gt;*gwous&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.

Cow dung is used as&amp;nbsp;fertilizer, as a fuel and as a&amp;nbsp;disinfectant&amp;nbsp;in homes. Its urine is also used for religious rituals as well as medicinal purposes. The supreme purificatory material, panchagavya, was a mixture of five products of the cow, namely milk, curds, ghee, urine and dung. The interdiction of the meat of the bounteous cow as food was regarded as the first step to total vegetarianism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: initial; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 0.17em; padding-top: 0.5em; width: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;editsection&quot; style=&quot;float: right; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-left: 5px;&quot;&gt;[&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cattle_in_religion&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;section=9&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;&quot; title=&quot;Edit section: Puranas&quot;&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;mw-headline&quot; id=&quot;Puranas&quot;&gt;Puranas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;thumb tright&quot; style=&quot;background-color: transparent; clear: right; float: right; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; margin-left: 1.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; width: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;thumbinner&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #f9f9f9; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; font-size: 12px; min-width: 100px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; padding-bottom: 3px !important; padding-left: 3px !important; padding-right: 3px !important; padding-top: 3px !important; text-align: center; width: 222px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;image&quot; href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Prithu_-_Crop.jpg&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;thumbimage&quot; height=&quot;141&quot; src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e0/Prithu_-_Crop.jpg/220px-Prithu_-_Crop.jpg&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; border-width: initial; vertical-align: middle;&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In honor of their exalted status, cows often roam free, even along (and in) busy streets in major cities such as Delhi. In some places, it is considered good luck to give one a snack, or fruit before breakfast.

Cabral now Kannan Swami narrated his pathetic tale who was converted to Christianity around 12 years back by New Life fellowship church,who converted as his wife was unable to bear child &amp;amp; Pastor Immanuel promised him that his wife will conceive if he brings his belief in Jesus Christ which he did. But still after conversion his wife could not concieve &amp;amp; finally he adopted a girl child.The worst thing came when his Aunt expired &amp;amp; he called Pastor to perform the final rites as per Christian faith but he never turned up,desparately he ran to a Roman Catholic Church near locality but the watchman at graveyard turned him away saying that only Catholics could be buried there &amp;amp; finally without any option his Aunt was cremated as per Hindu Rites. Similar story is of Rusi now Sharda who was baptized by Eternal life fellowship church 15 years back saying that she would get a job which never fulfilled. One Kondiba Gaikwad was baptized to Christianity in year 1981 when he was just 14 years old,all he remembers is his father was given a bicycle in Udgir in Latur District Maharashtra. As saying “ I Spent nearly 30 years in Christainity but I always had a simmering wish to become a Hindu one day which got fulfilled today &amp;amp; I am thankful to Shri Anand Kumar Pande (VHP District Secretary) &amp;amp; VHP who gave me this opportunity.All of them were relieved to come back home.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;Sources said that the operative revealed that Bhatkal wanted to strike Mumbai as soon as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&quot;Since more than 60 IM operatives were arrested in various crackdowns across the country by different anti terrorist squads, the group was short on operatives. So Bhatkal had asked Salman to carry out recruitments across the country through its various sleeper cells,&quot; a senior police officer of the special cell, who was involved in his interrogation told&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;rediff.com&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Asked why the input was not further developed, the officer said, &quot;We did develop it. Intelligence agencies were briefed and the input was circulated among all the anti-terrorist squads in the country.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;It was also revealed that recruitments would take place largely in southern and western India and we had given special inputs to the forces of these states. But since many of their operatives were arrested because of technical surveillance, they had become cautious.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;They used phones and e-mails minimally and communicated mostly face to face. One thing we know about them is that their ability to research. Through the various news-items of arrests of their members, they must have realised that technical surveillance leads to arrest and they became cautious.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;The officer said that technical surveillance had been mounted across India, but there was no successful input about the group&#39;s specific plans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&quot;All we had was Salman&#39;s statement that they were planning to carry out attacks in Mumbai and other cities. Most of these recruitments are done by sleeper cells. These cells coordinate among themselves only face to face. So despite surveillance on their e-mails, phones and social networking sites, no specifics emerged,&quot; the officer said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;What is especially worrying for security forces is that the relative calm following 26/11 seems to have shattered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Indian Mujahideen is believed to plan and execute a string of attacks across the country at regular intervals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like in 2008, the group is believed to have carried out serial blasts in Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Delhi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/feeds/6027751173669421241/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/file-photo-of-im-founder-riyaz-bhatkal.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/6027751173669421241'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/6027751173669421241'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/file-photo-of-im-founder-riyaz-bhatkal.html' title='File photo of IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal Next Sahim Salim in New Delhi Suspected Indian Mujahideen operative Salman alias Chotu, who was arrested'/><author><name>Devi Guru Prasad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02497370302594500439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qk0rUlTRxsiqlETj8Ladk30bjMxH1d3_1RjjpgG00xwaBYtwbeTlRnsmngIOyHmW9R3JMSCBRuueEuWb0JKDfNXGYt1urAEvorPfUJyyHtm62Xd-cK8ZZCLrXwsECC0/s220/19.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805671893268303340.post-1318050475139580331</id><published>2011-07-17T12:37:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2011-07-17T12:37:31.144+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Mumbai serial blasts: Terrorists rented rooms near targets</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Investigators probing&amp;nbsp;Wednesday&#39;s serial blasts&amp;nbsp;in Mumbai believe that three different terror modules may have used rented accommodations close to the blast sites for making the lethal bombs.&lt;br /&gt;
The significant headway came three days after the triple explosions rocked the maximum city. TheMaharashtra anti-terrorist squad&amp;nbsp;chief Rakesh Maria, on Saturday claimed good leads and said that based on CCTV footage the investigators had identified one of the suspects. Without clarifying if it was the same man who was identified in the CCTV footage, Maria said that with the help of eyewitness accounts a sketch of the suspect was being prepared. He said the sketch will not be made public as it could hamper probe.&lt;br /&gt;
The sleuths were basing their neighbourhood safe house theory on&amp;nbsp;forensic evidence&amp;nbsp;which has revealed that the sophisticated improvised explosive devices (IED) would have been highly unstable to be carried long distances.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;These were assembled near the places where the bombs went off. We are going by this theory because forensic evidence has revealed a mixture of TNT, RDX, ammonium nitrate and petroleum oil. This concoction could have gone off in transit if assembled at some distant place because of the dangerously unstable mixture,&quot; Maria said. &quot;They couldn&#39;t have been brought in crowded local trains or buses and even taxis would be a risk because of Mumbai&#39;s potholed roads,&quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
Two of the three blast sites - Zaveri Bazar and Opera House - are separated by a little over a kilometre, and Dadar, the third site, is about 12 km away. That means, if a &quot;safe house&quot; was used, it could be close to or around Zaveri Bazar or Opera House, the source said.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;The ones who built the bomb wouldn&#39;t have taken the risk of blowing them up, hence they must have assembled it near the three places where the bomb was planted,&quot; he added.&lt;br /&gt;
The theory also has come in to play because police believe that an extensive recce was done before planting the bombs and it would have helped if the men were staying somewhere in the vicinity of the targeted localities.&lt;br /&gt;
Since the bombs went off one after another at different places within a gap of minutes, investigators believe there were three different modules which could have stayed at the three different locations and then planted bombs in a coordinated way.&lt;br /&gt;
Investigators were now checking places near Dadar, Zaveri Bazar and Opera House to see if any unknown person had rented out flats there.&lt;br /&gt;
ATS teams have been sent to West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka to look for possible links. UP is especially significant as the earlier module of Indian Mujahideen which was busted hailed from Azamgarh.&lt;br /&gt;
ATS officers believe UP is also important because Amir Reza Khan, who is alleged to be behind several bomb blasts in the country, has a girlfriend living in that state. According to ATS officials, the girl had actively helped Reza in carrying out terror activities. The police, however, were yet to trace the girl. Officials said the girl was not only involved in helping IM members find accommodation but also in ferrying them outside the country.&lt;br /&gt;
Talking to the media on Saturday, the ATS chief Rakesh Maria formally ruled out the suicide bomber theory. Maria said Gujarat and Delhi Police have sent their teams to Mumbai to assist in the probe.&lt;br /&gt;
Maria said they had been able to identify a suspect from one of the CCTV cameras but refused to divulge his name. The ATS chief also said that based on eye-witness accounts they are also going to make a sketch of one of the suspects but will not release it to the public as it could impede investigations. The sketch would be circulated only among police officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Going through the CCTV images at all the three sites is a voluminous job as each frame has many persons in it. We do have one image that has been captured in one of the CCTV cameras and we are verifying and trying to identify the person,&quot; said Maria, without specifying from which location they have identified this person. Unlike previous instances there were CCTV cameras at all the locations where bombs went off this time.&lt;br /&gt;
Maria claimed that they had found that ammonium nitrate, fuel oil and digital timers used in the blasts. He added that the bombs were placed in small metallic containers. He was non- committal over whether they were metallic containers or tiffin boxes.&lt;br /&gt;
According to Maria, the containers were totally destroyed in the blasts and they were waiting for the forensic report.&lt;br /&gt;
Refusing to reveal which group was behind the blasts, Maria said, &quot;Till the case is detected and we catch the culprits, we would not like to comment about which group is responsible.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
What may, however, impede the investigations is the absence of a law making tenant verification in Mumbai mandatory. Although the had issues guidelines to house owners asking them to get their tenants verified before renting out their apartments, they are not serious about implementing the directives.&lt;br /&gt;
Even the guildelines are issued only once in a couple of years. The last time the issue caught the fancy of hte police was in 2008 when US national Kenneth Haywood&#39;s wi-fi connection was hacked by the Indian Mujahideen to send emails. A subsequent police investigation revealed that Haywood was staying without any police verification.&lt;br /&gt;
The Navi Mumbai police had then said that they would initiate action against all the landlords who did not inform them about their tenants. The drive fizzled out soon after.&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to the Haywood&#39;s case, the Mumbai police had arrested one Faisal Sheikh for his involvement in the 2006 serial blasts in the local trains. Police officers claimed that Faisal had rented a house in Bandra where the bombs were assembled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/feeds/1318050475139580331/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/mumbai-serial-blasts-terrorists-rented.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/1318050475139580331'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4805671893268303340/posts/default/1318050475139580331'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hindu-voice.blogspot.com/2011/07/mumbai-serial-blasts-terrorists-rented.html' title='Mumbai serial blasts: Terrorists rented rooms near targets'/><author><name>Devi Guru Prasad</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02497370302594500439</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-qk0rUlTRxsiqlETj8Ladk30bjMxH1d3_1RjjpgG00xwaBYtwbeTlRnsmngIOyHmW9R3JMSCBRuueEuWb0JKDfNXGYt1urAEvorPfUJyyHtm62Xd-cK8ZZCLrXwsECC0/s220/19.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805671893268303340.post-7508997008475343062</id><published>2011-07-16T20:57:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2011-07-16T21:24:32.683+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Summary of all scams in India since 1947</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summary of all scams in India since 1947&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

सोमवार को रामदेव की तरफ से वरिष्ठ वकील राम जेठमलानी सुप्रीम कोर्ट में पेश हुए तो दिल्ली पुलिस का पक्ष रखने के लिए हरीश साल्वे ने कमान संभाली. सुप्रीम कोर्ट के दो जजो की बेंच के सामने राम जेठमलानी ने कहा कि आधी रात को बाबा रामदेव के भक्तों के खिलाफ दिल्ली पुलिस की कार्रवाई के पीछे गृहमंत्री पी चिदम्बरम का हाथ है. राम जेठमलानी ने कोर्ट से आग्रह किया कि केन्द्रीय गृहमंत्री को सफाई देने के लिए खुद उन्हें नोटिस जारी करके उनसे जवाब पूछा जाना चाहिए.&lt;br /&gt;
राम जेठमलानी ही वह व्यक्ति हैं जिन्होंने काले धन के खिलाफ सबसे पहले सुप्रीम कोर्ट में एक जनहित याचिका दाखिल करके विदेशों में जमा कालेधन को भारत वापस लाने की पहल शुरू की थी. राम जेठमलानी की याचिका पर सुनवाई के दौरान ही भाजपा ने कालेधन पर जांच पड़ताल के लिए एक समिति का गठन किया जिसने अपनी रिपोर्ट में सोनिया गांधी का विदेशों में धन जमा होने का संकेत दिया था. आगे चलकर जब बाबा रामदेव ने काले धन को मुद्दा बनाया तो राम जेठमलानी ने उन्हें अपना समर्थन दिया था. अब राम जेठमलानी बाबा रामदेव की ओर से सुप्रीम कोर्ट में अपीयर हो रहे हैं.&lt;br /&gt;
चार जून को बाबा रामदेव और उनके योगभक्तों पर की गयी कार्रवाई पर खुद संज्ञान लेते हुए छह जून को दिल्ली पुलिस को नोटिस जारी करके पूछा था कि ऐसा क्या हो गया था कि दिल्ली पुलिस ने आधी रात को इस तरह कार्रवाई करनी पड़ी. सुप्रीम कोर्ट की नोटिस के बाद दिल्ली पुलिस ने अपना जवाब दाखिल करते हुए कहा था कि योगा गुरू ने 5000 लोगों को योग के लिेए रामलीला मैदान बुक करवाया था लेकिन वहां करीब 65 हजार लोग जमा थे जिससे दिल्ली की सुरक्षा व्यवस्था को संकट पैदा हो सकता था. हालांकि दिल्ली पुलिस की इस दलील पर राम जेठमलानी ने कहा कि दिल्ली पुलिस ने आंसू गैस के गोलों और पानी की बौछारों का प्रयोग आधी रात को क्यों किया. राम जेठमलानी ने कहा कि इससे वहां मौजूद हजारों लोगों को जान का खतरा हो सकता था.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Supreme Court. A petition regarding the safety of the treasure was filed by Advocate T.P. Sundararajan over the &#39;mismanagement&#39; of Temple affairs. On this petition, Kerala High Court had directed Kerala Government to take inventory  of the items in the treasure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Now, it is duty of all devout Hindus that this treasure should not go in the dirty and corrupt hands of Kerala Government. Previously, the Communist Government in Kerala has looted many famous Hindu Temples including Sri Guruvayoor Temple and Sabrimala Temple. Kerala is  noe ruled by the anti-Hindu Congress Government, which has already looted famous Hindu Temples like Tirupati Tirumala Temple in Andhra Pradesh, Sri Sai Baba Temple and Sri Siddhivinayak Temple in Maharashtra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: medium; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;Where this money from Sri Padmanabhswamy Temple&#39;s treasure can be used ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;All Hindus should strongly protest the takeover of Sri Padmanabhaswamy Temple by the Kerala Government, since the wealth found in the Temple would be misused by the Government. The wealth unearthed can be used for following purposes :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: decimal; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial;&quot;&gt;  After using the wealth of the Temple for all these purposes, remaining wealth can be used for social upliftment of Hindus, to make hospitals giving free treatment to poor Hindus. However, all these institutions should be operated by a Temple Trust managed by devout Hindus and Priests only, since the Government will loot this money and use it for themselves, Muslims and Christians !&lt;/li&gt;
