Agent Provocateur: Don’t block the ‘Internet Hindus’
YouTube - bareilly curfew 2 march 2010
Nepal wants to paint Mount Everest pink. It wants gay honeymooners trekking through the Himalayas. It wants to host the world's highest same-sex wedding at Everest base camp.
But mainly, the conservative Hindu nation wants a chunk of the multibillion-dollar gay tourist market to help pull it out of poverty.

Surendranagar district’s Patdi village observed complete strike on continuously second day following a death of Hindu Thakor youth attacked by a group of Muslims.
Patdi’s Hemant Thakor was attacked by group of Muslims on 5 March after verbal argument over occupying seat at a circus show. This had triggered a clash between two communities on 6 March.
Hemant was taken to hospital in Ahmedabad for treatment where he died yesterday. Traditionally women do not take part in funeral procession, but yesterday even village women joined Hemant’s funeral after which the incidents of stone pelting compelled local police to lobb a couple of rounds of teargas shells to control the crowds.
The culprits Anwar Riyaz Pathan, Iqbal Abu Vora, Sakir Ibrahim Khan, Inayat Khan Ibrahim Khan, Chatur alias Slim Daval, Abbas Abdul Mohammad Khan, Abbas Abdul Mohammad Khan’s son, and Abbad Abdul Mohammad Khan’s another son are arrested. One culprit, the son of Abbas Abdul Mohammad Khan’s driver’s son is still at large.
Lure of Christianity divides Ulhasnagar Sindhis
For the last five to six years, Ulhasnagar has been seeing a quiet spurt in the number of “prayer halls” where a pastor chaperones a weekly congregation. There are now between 50 and 70 such halls in Ulhasnagar, a hub of Sindhi traders and businessmen.
Whether it’s due to losses suffered in business or traditional family ties breaking down, several thousand Sindhis in Ulhasnagar have found themselves drawn to Christianity. Some of them belong to Hindu scheduled castes and a large number are poor Sindhis.
Local politicians say the number of “converts” in Ulhasnagar is around 7,000. “But the real figure is closer to 25,000,” says Pastor Chawla, who runs a trust that owns a 2,000-sq-foot prayer hall in Ulhasnagar Camp No 3.
That growing number has now drawn a sharp divide in a town that was, until now, more homogenous than other parts of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
A large number of Sindhis fleeing Pakistan during Partition arrived in Mumbai’s suburbs, settling in Chembur, Thane (Kopri) and a large number of them in Ulhasnagar, on the banks of River Ulhas. As the area developed, Sindhis nurtured their culture, making Ulhasnagar synonymous with the Sindhi population.
Indian bishop bailed on conversion charge | CathNews Asia
Indian Church people, including a bishop, yesterday sought anticipatory bail after police booked them for violating Madhya Pradesh state’s law on religious conversion.
Bishop Mathew Vaniakizhakkel of Satna, a diocese in Madhya Pradesh, has dismissed the case against him, two priests, a nun and two laypeople as “totally fabricated”, UCA News reports.
Police registered the case under non-bailable sections of the state’s stringent anti-conversion law after one Christopher Pavy, a Christian, complained that a woman converted to Catholicism before her marriage in May 2009.
Pavy also sought action against the bishop and others under the state law that forbids conversion through force or allurement.
हिंदू सांसदों ने किया पाक संसद का वाक आउट
पाकिस्तान में अल्पसंख्यक हिंदू समुदाय के सांसदों ने एक शीर्ष जज की टिप्पणियों पर आपत्ति जताते हुए नेशनल असेंबली से वाकआउट किया। इसे न्यायपालिका के खिलाफ पाकिस्तानी संसद में पहला प्रदर्शन बताया जा रहा है।
सत्तारूढ़ पाकिस्तान पीपुल्स पार्टी के सांसद रमेश लाल ने नेशनल असेंबली में यह मुद्दा मंगलवार को उठाया। उन्होंने कहा कि लाहौर हाईकोर्ट के चीफ जस्टिस ख्वाजा मुहम्मद शरीफ के अवांछित बयान से 40 लाख पाकिस्तानी हिंदुओं की भावनाएं आहत हुई हैं।
अफगानिस्तान के तालिबानी नेताओं का प्रत्यर्पण रोकने संबंधी याचिका की सुनवाई के समय चीफ जस्टिस ने कहा कि अमेरिकी सुरक्षा फर्म ब्लैकवाटर एवं हिंदू आतंकी हमलों में शामिल हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि संभवत: हिंदू ऐसे हमलों को धन मुहैया कराते हैं।
