"I am sorry that certain things happened last year and you have been brought to these camps. But you must go back to your villages. I am here to tell you, don't fear," he said.

- All the three Khans are liberal Muslims who until recently never really discussed their religion or religious identity.
- Salman Khan was born to a Hindu mother and a Muslim father. Aamir Khan divorced a Hindu woman, then married another Hindu woman. And Shah Rukh Khan? Everyone knows the story of how he wooed Delhi girl Gauri Chibba and married her more than 15 years ago.

DISTORTION OF INDIAN HISTORY FOR MUSLIM APPEASEMENT, Part 3A | Faith Freedom International
-
DISTORTION OF INDIAN HISTORY FOR MUSLIM APPEASEMENT, Part 3A | Faith Freedom International
-
- Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari
-
- Distorted History of Qutb Minar:
- Firstly, all the barbaric Muslims invaders, like Muhammaf Ghori, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, Firuz Shah Tughluq and their lot, came to India to plunder its wealth and not to erect a minaret, like the Qutb Minar, by spending money.
- Though the so called secular historians are projecting these barbaric invaders as great builders and great admirers of art, sculpture and architecture, it becomes hard to believe that those cruel killers and lecherous vandals had any affinity for art and culture.
- Thirdly, Hasan Nizami, the court chroniclers and biographer of Qutb-ud-din, has narrated so many events of the times of Qutb-ud-din, in his Taj-ul-masir. Then how it comes that he forgot to mention erecting a splendid and magnificent exhibit of architecture like Qutb Minar by his master, in his Taj-ul-masir?
- The locality of Delhi where the so called Qutb Minar stands, with its head high penetrating the sky, is known as Meherauli. Where from the name Meherauli has been derived?
- So, it becomes evident that the place was once upon a time linked to a renowned personality called Mihir. Most of the scholars agree that this Mihir was no other than Varaha Mihira, the great mathematician and astronomer who used to grace the Royal Court of Emperor Vikramaditya Chandragupta-II and was one of the nine luminaries (Navaratna), called jewels, of his Court.
- Real History Minaret, Now called Qutb Minar:
- was a seat of learning or a university, where students used to come from far away places to learn and do research on mathematics, astronomy and astrology.
- There were several residential buildings for the students and the teachers and 27 temples dedicated to 27 asterisms.
- The pillar or the minaret, now called Qutb Minar, was used by the researchers as the astronomical observation tower and at that time, it was known as Meru (pole) Stambha (pillar).
- According to another group of scholars, the other name of this pillar was Vishnu Dhwaj (Banner of Lord Vishnu) and the scholars agree that it was authored by the great astronomer Varaha Mihira.
- It should be mentioned here that, like the Meru Stambha in Delhi , Varaha Mihir built a similar pillar in Ghazni , Afghanistan , but with bricks, in stead of sandstone. So, it becomes evident that both the Qutb Minar and the minaret at Ghazni were built nearly seven centuries before the arrival of the Muslim invaders and hence they were superb examples of Hindu architecture.
- many of the fundamental forms of Persian architecture, such as the pointed and trefoil arches, the transverse vault, the octagonal form of building, the dome etc. were originated in India . … It is through such cultural contacts that art in the West acquired substance and individuality which the establishment of Islam could hardly change or alter.
- It should also be mentioned here that, according to John Marshall, Qutb-ud-din built the Qutb Minar as a part of the Qutb-ul-Islam mosque for giving call to prayer or azan.[7] But this argument is not tenable due to two reasons.
- Firstly, the Muslims build a minaret as a part of every mosque for giving call to prayers and sighting the moon during Eid-ul-fitr. But the distance in between the Qutb-ul-Islam mosque and the Qutb Minar renders the above argument not only absurd but ridiculous.
- Secondly, considering the dimensions of the Qutb-ul-Islam mosque and the Qutb Minar, perhaps no one would be ready to accept that the latter is a part of the former because in that case, the chip would be tougher than the old block.
- Thirdly, according to the Muslim chroniclers, Qutb-ud-din built the Qutb-ul-Islam mosque with the raw materials collected from the demolished 27 temples of the Qutb Complex. So, it becomes really difficult to believe that Qutb-ud-din built the main structure, the Qutb-ul-Islam mosque, with the raw materials of the demolished temples while he built the auxiliary structure, the Qutb Minar, with fresh raw materials by spending so much money.
- It should be mentioned here that, Sir Syed Ahmed, the founder of the Aligarh Muslim University, used to believe that Qutb Minar had been authored by the Hindus and not by the Muslim rulers. In this context, it should also be noted that General Cunningham, the first Director of Archaeological Survey of India, used to hold the same view. [3]

Why has the BJP been losing its support steadily among the youth and urban educated middle class? | Promise of Reason
-
-
- Ratnakar Sadasyula
- The BJP’s right wing Hindutva ideology had large scale support among the urban educated middle classes, while its espousal of a capitalist economy enthused the youth. The reason why youth, including myself, supported the BJP in large numbers was its no nonsense stance on internal security and the country’s safety.
- One thing needs to be kept in mind, while Hindutva did play a role in the BJP’s growth, it was an issue have a limited shelf time. A vast majority of the youth, who supported the BJP during the 90’s, did so because of its stand on economic issues, internal security and foreign policy.
- The UPA rule presented many opportunities for the BJP to capture the youth vote bank. The agitation by AIIMS students in Delhi against Arjun Singh’s reservation gimmicks, the bungling in the dismissal of P.Venugopal Rao, the AIIMS head, the UPA’s ineffective management of internal security and most importantly 26/11.
- And what really made the youth dissociate itself from the BJP has been the pub attacks in Mangalore and the antics of the Shri Ram Sene. I have seen many friends of mine, who were openly critical of their tactics, and mind you most of them are not the pub going, Westernized kind.
- Trust me the moment the BJP comes up with a plan to revitalize higher education, its going to receive enthusiastic support from the youth. If the youth is veering towards Rahul Gandhi, its not because of his cute dimples, its because they feel that he could understand their concerns better. This is what the BJP needs to do immediately.

- Child Prostitution in Bangladesh
- The whole system in Bangladesh is male-dominated, inspired by common prophet religions that have a culture of suppressing woman historically. We need to deal with these oppressors first. Many aw and wonderful steps had taken to bring an end to the suppression to woman and children but hopefully none of them succeed.
-
- More than anything, the religion of Islam encourages the majority of people in Bangladesh in the historical cultural traditions of oppressing women. Laws can change, while religion inspires adherents through heaven and hell; in this light, how will jail or capital punishment be able to make any significant change?
- A Woman is Harassed by Police in Bangladesh
- The Prophet Mohammed said, “I was standing at the edge of the fire (hell) and the majority of the people going in were women.” When the Quran and the Prophet Mohammed guide the majority of people in Bangladesh, and the Quran (4:34) orders a man to beat his wife if she doesn’t obey him, how will the law prevent the beating of women? Laws and conventions contradict the holy sayings of the Prophet and Allah and will surely fail to ensure the rights of women.

- kashmiir के सोपिया शहर में इन दिनों जश्न मनाया जा रहा है। यहां की एक लड़की फरहा पंडित को अमेरिकी विदेश मंत्री हिलेरी क्लिंटन ने राष्ट्रपति भवन व्हाइट हाउस में मुस्लिम समुदाय का प्रतिनिधि नियुक्त किया है। किसी भारतीय को पहली बार यह सम्मान मिला है।
- भारतीय कश्मीर की एक मुस्लिम महिला को व्हाइट हाउस में पूरे अमेरिका के मुस्लिमों का प्रतिनिधि बनाने को ले कर पाकिस्तानियों का नाराज होना समझ में आता है। पाकिस्तान सरकार ने तय किया है कि इस संबंध में वह व्हाइट हाउस से जवाब तलब करेगा।
- पंडित परिवार 1970 में अमेरिका चला गया था जब फरहा सिर्फ चार साल की थी। उनके पिता मोहम्मद अनवर पंडित के पूर्वज पहले हिंदू ही थे मगर बाद में उन्होंने धर्म परिवर्तन किया मगर अपने नाम के आगे लगा पंडित शब्द नहीं छोड़ा।

» Blog Archive » सूचना का अधिकार कश्मीर में भी लागू होगा
- आलोक तोमर
डेटलाइन इंडिया - अब कश्मीर में भी सूचना का अधिकार लागू होगा। कश्मीर को यह विशेषाधिकार प्राप्त है कि किसी भी केंद्रीय कानून को वह अपने यहां लागू करने से रोक सकता है। इसीलिए सूचना का अधिकार भी यहां लागू नहीं हो पाया।
- जब देश की संसद एक कानून को लागू करने के लिए संसद से प्रस्ताव पारित करवा सकती है तो अक्षम्य और लगभग आपराधिक धारा 370 को हटाने के लिए कानून जारी क्यों नहीं कर रही, यह सोचने की बात है।
