Historical Day in India.

I saw History made in India today. Modi won Gujrat election. It will have ripple effects in India. I want BJP to bring him in Centre. I wish to see him India PM. But some sick ppl in India have some issues. B.Raman (former Indian intelligence chief) has made this observation.

Summary

- The pathological dislike -- even hatred -- that some of our journalists -- particularly in the electronic media -- have for Modi could be seen or sensed as one watched the television coverage of the counting of votes on December 23.

- The disappointment on the faces of some of the anchors was to be seen to be believed. A star lady anchor could not help remarking: 'Modi might be able to win the elections in Gujarat, but he still can't get a visa to go to the US and other Western countries.' Some consolation!

- They would have noticed that in the Hindu Diaspora in the West, more young people admire Modi than grown-ups. Many of his young admirers in the US were born and brought up there and had the benefit of the best of secular education. In spite of this, there is a sense of pride in them that the Hindu community has at long last produced a leader of the calibre of Modi.

- These self-styled secularists would not address their sermons of secularism to the Islamic countries, where for a Muslim to convert a non-Muslim into Islam is an act blessed by Allah, but for a non-Muslim to convert a Muslim into his religion is a crime calling for the death penalty


- They (young Hindus)are no longer prepared to be defensive in proclaiming their Hindu idenity, in asserting their rights as Hindus.

They are secular in the genuine sense of the word, but for them secularism does not mean developing a guilt complex about being a Hindu and all the time conceding the rights of others. They do not accept the argument that a Hindu, who asserts his rights, ceases to be a secularist.

Hindus beliefs seem to be under attacks from many quarters. Read on

- First Tamilnadu chief minister said Hindu God Ram never existed and now WB Chief Minister Buddhadeb is also saying the same. Budha is from Communist party.
- Malaysian govt is arresting Hindus there. They were protesting against the bias they have to face in education, jobs and other works there. Even after 5-6 generations they have not been given equal rights as their muslim counterparts. This month Malaysian govt plans to demolish 59 Hindu temples too.
- Gujarat chief minister is being criticized and cases have been filed against him in courts for the killing of a terrorist in a police encounter. The terrorist is being projected as victim just because he was a muslim. He had stored AK566, RDX etc
- Imported Cong chief calls Modi merchant of death but no words for Hindus killed by muslims in Godhra.

Sad is the state of Hindus in India.

Cold

It is been quite cold here these days. I think the temperature is touching around 10 deg C. It drizzled too a bit. People have started to wear woolen clothes.

Foreigners

These days we see lots of foreigner's in Bangalore riding on two wheelers. I am told that many of them are from western christian missionaries sent here to convert people (mainly poor) to christianity.

Brand Factory

Brand factory at Marthahalli is quite a deal. Branded clothes etc are sold at very economical price. But u hv to select the stuff carefully there. Some not-so-good are also sold there.
