India: Two Muslim mothers (honor) kill daughters for marrying Hindu’s « Creeping Sharia
“We have no remorse.” via Turned over to kin after elopement, Baghpat women killed by mothers.
Two Muslim women in an Uttar Pradesh town, 40 km east of Delhi, allegedly killed their daughters because they had eloped and married migrant Bihari Hindu labourers, police said.
The victims had sought police protection after they returned to their homes in Baghpat earlier this week, but the subdivisional magistrate sent them home to reconcile with their mothers.
On Wednesday night, Khatun and Subrato, both of whom are widows, allegedly tied their daughters, 19-year-old Zahida and 26-year-old Husna, to cots and threw a rope around their necks. They then held the girls down and tightened the noose until the victims suffocated to death, police said.
Khatun and Subrato have been arrested. A third woman called Momina, their neighbour in Baghpat’s Muslim-dominated Mughalpura area, who allegedly helped them commit the murders, is on the run.
“We killed them because they had brought shame to our community. How could they elope with Hindus? They deserved to die. We have no remorse,” Khatun and Subrato said Friday.
The women said each killed her daughter at home. Police, however, suspect that Khatun, Subrato and Momina committed the murders together, strangling the victims one after another. Khatun and Subrato live in different lanes in the same locality.
More from Daughters strangulated for ‘honour’:
“Preliminary investigations reveal that the two women assisted each other to kill their respective daughters. Both the cases appear to be honour killings, as initial probe indicates that the two mothers – Khatoon and Subrato – killed their daughters after they learnt about their affair with youths of the same locality,” police Inspector A.K. Kushan told reporters in Baghpat, some 400 km from Lucknow.
“The two women were arrested late Thursday. We started our investigations after we became suspicious about the two deaths after Zahida’s sister approached us, suspecting foul play behind the incidents,” he added.
According to police, Khatoon first killed her daughter Zahida with the with the help of Subrato.
“The two strangulated Zahida while she was sleeping. Later, Husno was killed in similar manner,” said Kushan.
“We believe other members of the family could also be involved in the killings. Investigations are on in this regard,” he added.

Baghpat : Two Muslim women in an Uttar Pradesh town, 40 km east of Delhi, allegedly killed their daughters because they had eloped and married migrant Bihari Hindu labourers, police said.
The victims had sought police protection after they returned to their homes in Baghpat earlier this week, but the subdivisional magistrate sent them home to reconcile with their mothers.
On Wednesday night, Khatun and Subrato, both of whom are widows, allegedly tied their daughters, 19-year-old Zahida and 26-year-old Husna, to cots and threw a rope around their necks. They then held the girls down and tightened the noose until the victims suffocated to death, police said.
Khatun and Subrato have been arrested. A third woman called Momina, their neighbour in Baghpat’s Muslim-dominated Mughalpura area, who allegedly helped them commit the murders, is on the run.
“We killed them because they had brought shame to our community. How could they elope with Hindus? They deserved to die. We have no remorse,” Khatun and Subrato said Friday.
The women said each killed her daughter at home. Police, however, suspect that Khatun, Subrato and Momina committed the murders together, strangling the victims one after another. Khatun and Subrato live in different lanes in the same locality.
Zahida and Husna were good friends who fell in love with two men, who worked at a construction site nearby. The couples eloped to Bihar on May 3, where they got married, police said.
“The couples, who returned on May 10, came to the police station and sought protection. We referred the matter to the subdivisional magistrate,” said Anil Kumar Kusan, SHO, Baghpat.
The SDM called in Khatun and Subrato, made them sign a bond promising that they would not harm their daughters, and sent Zahida and Husna home.
Asked why he had decided to do so despite the threat to Zahida’s and Husna’s lives, SDM V Anand said he intended to prevent possible attacks by the community on the couples.
“This is a communally sensitive area. Had we not asked the women to return to their homes, the villagers would have killed all four, triggering riots,” Anand said.
Saira, Zahira’s elder sister and the complainant, said: “When I woke up yesterday, I found my mother sitting beside my sister’s body. She said she had killed her. I ran to the police station and informed them. Soon we got to know Husna had also been killed.”
Haindava Keralam - Rahul - The Shame of India
http://www.haindavakeralam.com/HKPage.aspx?PageID=13837
| Rahul - The Shame of India Dr Mrs Hilda Raja Rahul Gandhi ashamed to be an Indian Rahul Gandhi is ashamed he said to be an Indian when he sees the plight of the farmers. He is not ashamed to be in a party which is covered and reeking with scams. What kind of a statement is this coming from one who is all set to handle the reins of governance? Throughout RG has been exposing his ignorance of Indian affairs and his total alienation from the reality that is India . One could understand if he had stated something similar out of disgust for the corruption that the Congress has blotted this nation with. ************* It is in this background that one must analyze the utterance of Rahul Gandhi when he said that he is ashamed to be an Indian. Does he realize that we Indians are ashamed of being Indians because of the Italian connection –because an un-Indian is at the helm of affairs because ignorance and appeasement policy have destroyed the countryside. We have an economist of a PM who is subservient to Mrs Sonia Gandhi.In no country is a political party leader more powerful than the government of the country. But in India it is the High Command-what a dichotomy to have a High command in a democracy. ******* To be ashamed for being an Indian because of the farmers’ plight is indirectly striking at the Congress-its total failure and it also unconsciously reveals the real RG and his moorings. Inspite of all the failures, in spite of human tragedies in spite of poverty and penury, no sensible patriotic Indian who knows his/her country will ever utter that he/she is ashamed of being an Indian. Because the other side of the coin of the nation reflects the rich hoary parampara,the resilience of a people, the valor and courage of a people to put up with this dynasty regime, the values embedded in its patience, its farsightedness, its ability to still look beyond the scams and the wave of the HAND and proclaim that I am proud to be an INDIAN. |

हमने हिन्दुस्तान पर 800 साल हुकूमत की है।: "
"
उर्दू फारसी पत्र की सत्यप्रति
786
पैगाम इस्लाम 30/11/2008
आप सबको गुजारिश है कि हमने हिन्दुस्तान पर 800 साल हुकूमत की है। अब भी हमारी हुकूमत चलती है पर सीधी तरह से नहीं। सब पार्टियां और इनके काफिर नेता हमारे इशारे पर नाचते हैं। हमको आज मदरसों, मस्जिदों और हज के लिये पैसा मिलता है। यहां भी भाजपा काफिर पार्टी ने भी मुसलमानों के ज्यादा काम किये हैं और आरएसएस के काम बहुत किये हैं क्योंकि उनसे पैसा नही खा सकते। इससे बहुत से निकर वाले भाजपा और आरएसएस से कट गये। 2004 के चुनाव में भाजपा को मुंह की खानी पड़ी मगर हमारी पूरी हुकूमत तो तब मानी जायेगी जब पूरा हिन्दुस्तान इस्लाम के झण्डे के नीचे होगा। इसलिये हर मुसलमान का फर्ज है कि खाना जंगी के लिये तैयार रहें। इसके लिये हथियारों के अलावा बम्ब बनाना सीखें और कुरान के 24 आयतें रोज पढ़ें और उसी के मुताबिक काफिरों के मारने, जलाने और धोखे से पकड़ने का काम सरंजाम दें और उनको लूट और उनकी औरतों को भगा कर शादी करें। गोयह सिलसिला 70 साल से चल रहा है। पूरा जोर तब लगायें जब खाना जंगी के लिये आईएसआई और सिमी के लिये हुकुम देंगे। हर मुसलमान को दूसरा कलमा रोज पढ़ना चाहिये। वो यह है- हंस के लिये लिया है पाकिस्तान और लड़के लेंगे हिन्दुस्तान। अगरचे मदरसा जैल बातों पर आप लोग चल रहे हो फिर भी तबज्जो दें।
1-बिजनौर यू0पी0 फार्मूलाः- यहां पर मुसलमान जवान लड़के हिन्दुओं से दोस्ती करके अपने घर बुलाकर मछली, मुर्गा खिलाते हैं और फिर काफिरों के घर उनकी औरतों से यारी करके फंसाते हैं। ये औरतें मुसलमानों को माल भी खिलाती हैं और पैसा भी देती हैं। बहुत सी काफिर लड़कियों ने मुसलमानों से शादी कर ली है। वाह अल्ला तेरा शुक्र है। औरत को ताज चाहिये न तख्त लौडा चाहिये सख्त।
2-बोतल फार्मूला- गरीब बस्तियों में काफिरों को ज्यादा शराब पिला कर नामर्द बनाओ और उनकी औरतों से ऐश करो। 9 करोड़ चमार वगैरा तो मुसलमानों से मिल चुके हैं और उनकी औरतें तो आराम से मुसलमानों के बगल में आ जाती हैं।
3ः- चोरी डकैती- काफिरों के घरों में धोखा देकर चोरियां करो उनके खेतों की फसल काटो और उनके जानवरों की भी चोरी करो।
4-शहरी फार्मूला-(1) मुसलमान अकल से काम लें, अपने छोटे लड़कों को काफिरों के घर नौकर रखो और 25/25 बच्चे कैसे पालोगे, 8/10 साल के बाद आपके बच्चे जवान होकर घर की हिन्दू औरतों से दोस्ती करेंगे और ऐश के साथ-साथ पैसा भी खूब मारेंगे।
शहरी फार्मूला-(2) मुसलमान जवान नौकर, ड्राइवर, खानसामा, रोटी पकाने वाला, माली, चैकीदार बन हिन्दू नामों से रहो और मौका मिलते ही उपर वाली बातों पर अमल करें। इसके अलावा उनकी गाड़ियों, स्कूटरों वगैरा भी चोरी कर सकते हैं। ये शहर के इमाम से हर तरह के उस्तादों का पता लग जायेगा। काफिरों को जब पता लगा अपनी औरतों के बारे में पता लगा तो उन्होंने नौकरी से निकालने की कोशिश की तो औरतें ही कहने लगी-अच्छा भला ईमानदारी से काम करता है इसे नौकरी से क्यों निकालते हो। कई बार औरतें मुसलमानों के साथ भाग गईं। कई मुसलमान निकाले जाने के बाद दिन में जब काफिर घर पर नहीं होते आकर ऐश, ईशरत करते हैं। माल खाते हैं और पैसे भी ले जाते हैं। या अल्ला तेरा शुकर है तूने किसलिये हिन्दू को अंधा बनाकर रखा है, जिसको पैसा कमाने के अलावा कुछ भी नजर नहीं आता। ये इस्लाम की जीत है।
जेहाद- खाना जंगी के जेहाद में यदि मुसलमान शहीद होगा तो उसे जन्नत मिलेगी, अगर जिन्दा बचता है तो हिन्दुस्तान के काफिरों की सारी जायदादें मुसलमानों को मिलेंगी और सारी हिन्दू औरतें भी मिलेंगी तो यह भी जन्नत होगी। जैसे पाकिस्तान, कश्मीर और बांग्लादेश की सब कोठियां बंग्ले मुसलमानों को मिले थे। जेहाद के लिये 2 लाख सीमी के जवान 1 लाख अलकायदा के लिये मुसलमान तैयार हैं। अब हम 20 करोड़ हो गये हैं इसके अलावा 5 करोड़ बंग्लादेशी जिसमें 1 लाख टेररिस्ट हैं। इसलिये घबराने की जरूरत नही है। हिन्दुस्तान की मिलिट्री में भी काफी मुसलमान हैं और बहुत से तो हिन्दू नामों से भर्ती हैं। पुलिस में भी काफी मुसलमान हैं और वक्त आने पर काफिरों को दोजख पहुचायेंगे।
आम हिन्दू लोगों में मुसलमानों के लिय नरम रूख है जिसकी वजह उपर बतायें है हिन्दू औरतों से दोस्ती है। केरल, मद्रास और हैदराबाद में काफी असलाह पाकिस्तान और अरब मुल्कों से आ चुका है। बिहार में चीन और बांग्लादेश से 60 हजार एके-47 आ चुकी हैं। इसलिये लाल किला पर झण्डा जल्दी झूलेगा। अरब मुल्कों में हिन्दू औरतों को नर्स, आया, खाना बनाने वाली बनाकर ज्यादा से जयादा भेजें। अच्छी तनख्वाह के लालच में गरीब व दरम्यान घर की लड़कियां खुशी से जाती हैं और वहां जाकर रात को सारी की सारी अरबों के पास सो जाती हैं और मुसलमानों की आबादी बढ़ाने में काफी मददगार हैं। हिन्दू लड़की से शादी, हिन्दू लड़की जो भगाकर लायी जाये उसे 2 दिन भूखा रखें फिर अच्छा-अच्छा खाना दें। उनकी सतत या खतना जरूर करायें। अगर उसके रिश्तेदार कोर्ट केश करें तो कोर्ट में ले जाने से पहले 50/60 बंदूकों के हथियार दिखायें और खबरदार करें। अगर हमारे खिलाफ बयान दिये तो तेरे भाई और खानदान को भून देंगे। ऐसी लड़की को वश में करने वाले ताबीज पहनाना न भूलें। ये भी कमाल का काम करता है।
हरियाणा के मुसलमानों का कमाल- गांधी की मेहरबानी से मेवात के मुसलमान पाकिस्तान नही गये थे। पिछले 15 सालों से40 लाख मुसलमान बिहार, यूपी, राजस्थान में आकर बस गये हैं। 70 फीसदी तो हिन्दू नामों से रह रहे हैं और उपर लिखी बाते अच्छी तरह सरजाम दे रहे हैं। पंजाब में भी लाखों मुसलमान पहुंच चुका है। वक्त आने पर ये सब जेहाद के लिये कुरान के मुताबिक काफिरों को दोजख पहुचाने के लिये तैयार हैं। अल्ला हमारे साथ है।
काफिरों का बंटवारा- वैसे तो हिन्दू जांत-पांत में बंटा है आप लोग चमारों के दिमाग में हिन्दुओं के लिये खूब नफरत भरें जिन्होंने इनके उपर सैकड़ों साल जुल्म ढाये। मुसलमानों शाबास। बीएसपी को जीताकर भाजपा को धूल चटाकर दी। अब चमार हिन्दू से खूब बदला ले रहे हैं। तुमने पहले मुलायम सिंह जो एक मुसलमान पहलवान की औलाद है से खूब काम लिया और उसकी गांड भी मारी। अब मायावती से खूब काम निकलवायें। मुसलमानों के काम निकलवाओ और मायावती की दोनों तरफ से मारो। इस्लाम में औरतों के आगे-पीछे का इस्तेमाल करना जायज है।
आसाम और कश्मीर- आसाम और कश्मीर पर तो मुसलमानों का कब्जा हो चुका है।सारे बुतखाने तोड़ दिये गये हैं। महलों व सड़कों का नाम बदलकर जिन्हा रोड व अली रोड कर दिये हैं। आसाम पर भी काफी हद तक मुसलमानों का कब्जा है। काफिरों का कत्ल करके दहशत फैला कर भगाया जा रहा है। इस तरह कश्मीर की तरह हिन्दुओं की जायदाद व औरतें अल्ला की फजल से हम मुसलमानों को मिल रही हैं। सारे हिन्दुस्तान को इस्लाम के झंडे के नीचे लाने के लिये संघ जैल है।
पाकिस्तानी फार्मूला- सन् 1947 में हमारे जवानों ने काफिरों के छोटे-छोटे बच्चे आसमान में उछालकर नैजे व भाले पर लिये थे। इनकी औरतों के साथ 10/10 मुसलमानों ने जिन्हा किया था और अल्हादानी लोहे की नोहर गर्म करके लाल-लाल उनके थनों पर चिपकाई गई थी। कई औरतों के थन काट दिये थे। उनके बच्चों को मारकर पकाकर खिलाया भी था। राजीव गांधी के राज में फार्मूला काश्मीर में आजमाया गया। नतीजा यह निकला कि साढ़े तीन लाख पण्डितों से कश्मीर 2 दिन में खाली हो गया और करोड़ों बल्कि अरबों रूपये की काफिरों की जायदाद पर मुसलमानों का कब्जा हो गया।
जेहाद में औरतों के लिये खास दस्ता- मुसलमान जवान का यह दस्ता स्कूटर कार छोटे ट्रक वगैरा पर हिन्दू देवताओं की फोटों चिपकाकर रखें। ड्राइवर व कंडक्टर हिन्दू वेश में हो। जब अफरा-तफरी फैले तो काफिरों को जिनमें औरतें ज्यादा हों मुसलमान मोहल्लों में भगाकर ले जायें। औरतें को वहां पहुंचा दी जायें। काफिर मर्द और बच्चे मारकर दोजख भेज दें। ये नुस्खा 40 साल पहले अहमदाबाद में आजमाया गया था, उस समय वाई वी चैहान होम मिनिस्टर थे। इसी दस्ते के लिये जयपुर फार्मूला कई साल पहले हमारे मुसलमाना जवानों ने जयपुर में फसाद शुरू किये थे और हिन्दू घरों से व लड़कियों के स्कूलों से उठा ली थी। 6 माह बाद जब 2/3 लड़कियों ने अपने घर खबर भेजी तो खानदान के उन लोगों ने उन लड़कियों को वापस लेने से इन्कार कर दिया। 1948 में जब हिन्दू मिलिट्री, हिन्दू औरतों को निकालकर हिन्दुस्तान लाई तो उनके खानदान वालों ने लेने से इंकार कर दिया। इस वास्ते कुछ ने तो खुदकुशी कर ली। ये सब मुसलमानों के लिये अच्छा हुआ। इसके लिये हिन्दुओं की दाद देनी चाहिये।
मुसलमानों और हिन्दुओं के मरने की निस्बतः- जब पाकिस्तान बना तो एक मुसलमान शहीद हुआ था। काफिर मारे गये थे अब तो बम्बों और एके 47 का जमाना है, अल्ला ने चाहा तो एक मुसलमान के मारे जाने पर 100 हिन्दू मरेंगे अल्ला हमारे साथ है। मुसलमानों को अल्ला का शुक्रगुजार होना चाहिये कि वो सब भूल गयें अल्ला ने उसका दिमाग बड़ा कमजोर दिया है। इसलिये हमने 800 साल हुकूमत की और इन्सा अल्ला फिर करेंगे। इस बात से साबित होता है कि अल्ला भी चाहता है कि मुसलमानों को हिन्दुस्तान की हुकूमत मिले और हिन्दुओं की औरत को जन्नत मिले। चीन, पाकिस्तान और बंग्लादेश से हथियार व नकली नोट हम मुसलमानों की मदद के लिये अल्ला भिजवा रहा है। हिन्दू अफसर और पुलिस वाले इसी पैसे से अंधे बना दिये जाते हैं। यह खत मस्जिदों में जुमे के रोज सब मुसलमानों को सुनाया जाये। खाना जंगी के वक्त पाकिस्तान, चीन, बांग्लादेश व नेपाल भी हमारी मदद के लिये हिन्दुस्तान पर हमला बोल देंगे। नेपाल में काफी मंदिर तोड़ दिये गये हैं और आईएसआई की मदद से काफी लोग मुसलमान हो गये हैं।
कलावा मोटर साईकिल-मुसलमान जवानों को चाहिये अपने हाथ में कलावा बांध कर अपना नाम बदलकर हिन्दू नाम अपना लें। मोटर साईकिल पर सवार होकर हिन्दू मोहल्ले में कालेजों और स्कूलों के पास खड़े होकर हिन्दू लड़कियों से इश्क लड़ायें। होटलों में भी खुद भी ऐश करें और उनसे काल गर्ल्स का काम लें। इस कमाई से कुछ हिस्सा हथियारों पर खर्च करें। कारों वाले भाई जान भी करें। अरब मुल्कों में इसके लिये काफी पैसा हम तक पहुंच रहा है।
भाजपा का डर था कि वो कुरान की 24 आयतें कहीं छापकर नहीं बांटे मगर अल्ला की मेहरबानी से वो अंधे हो गये और नहीं बांट सके। अल्ला तेरा शुकर है कि भूल कर भी सिखों को न छेड़ें। ये जालिम होते हैं बल्कि चक्कर चलाकर उनको हिन्दुओं से दूर रखें। 80 साल के ये सिंधी पंजाबी बड़े नेक इंसान हैं, गरीब मुसलमानों की मदद करते हैं। ये मोहल्ला पीर गैब मुरादाबाद यूपी में रहते हैं, मगर भाजपा के जानी दुश्मन हैं। कहते हैं कि भाजपा वालों ने राम मंदिर और हर बात पर हिन्दू की पीठ पर छूरा भोंका। हमारे हिन्दू वाजपेयी की इज्जत करते थे मगर अब तो उसके मुंह पर थूकना भी हिन्दू पाप समझता है। कहते हैं हिन्दुओं को अपनी तवारीख लिखनी चाहिये जिससे 20 वीं सदी के गद्दारे आजम वाजपेयी और आडवाणी हों। 20 वीं सदी के गांडु नेता वाजपेयी और आडवाणी, 20 वीं सदी के सबसे पहले गद्दार व गांडु पार्टी भाजपा है। ये खत किसी हिन्दू को न दिखायें। आपका खादिम

BJP government sanctioned Rs. 185 crore for minority development
BJP government sanctioned Rs. 185 crore for minority development: "N.B.Abubakker, the president of the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation Ltd., said that minorities have got more benefits after the BJP came to power. He was addressing reporters at a press conference held at Circuit House on May 3, Tuesday."
Mangalore(Karnataka):N.B.Abubakker, the president of the Karnataka Minorities Development Corporation Ltd., said that minorities have got more benefits after the BJP came to power. He was addressing reporters at a press conference held at Circuit House on May 3, Tuesday.
Providing further explanations, he said that the BJP Government has sanctioned funds and loans at lower rates of interest to minorities, amounting to 10 times the funds sanctioned by previous governments. While previous governments had earmarked Rs. 14 crore for minority development, the BJP government has sanctioned Rs. 185 crore.
Speaking of how the government is generating job opportunities, he said that the government is using NIIT schemes to provide job opportunities in IDB Bank and ICICI Bank. Around 60 candidates are likely to receive jobs in 2010 – 11, and candidates with BCom, MBA, and accountancy qualifications can apply for the post. The government will provide 3-month training at centers such as Belgaum, Mysore, Bangalore and Gulbarga. The minorities’ corporation will provide the training fee of Rs. 55,000 as a loan at 2 percent interest and will provide permanent jobs to the candidates in banks after six months. The candidates can then repay the loans at the rate of Rs. 5000 per month.
Regarding the success of the same scheme last year, he said that 10 candidates received jobs in banks last year. Of the 18 candidates who applied, only 10 turned up for the exams and are now receiving salaries of Rs. 20,800 per month. Six of these candidates were from Mysore, 2 were from Mangalore, 1 was from Sirsi, and one was the Gulgarga. While six of the candidates were women, four were men.
He also said that the corporation will provide loans of Rs. 2,50,000 to farmers to purchase agricultural land. While repayment of 50 percent of the loan will be borne by the government, farmers will have to pay 50 percent of it within 10 years at the rate of 6 percent in 20 installments. Beneficiaries will also receive loans of Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 3 lakhs at 4 percent interest to purchase 3 cents of land for the construction of houses. If the beneficiaries already own land, they will be given loans for constructing houses at 4 percent interest, which should be repaid in 36 to 60 installments. He added that silk growers will receive loans of Rs 1 lakh each.
Further, he said that the government has sanctioned Rs. 50 crore for the development and repair of Christian institutions and churches, adding that the head office of the Minorities Corporation will be soon computerized. According to a government order, 80 percent of the fund is allocated to Muslims, 10 percent to Christians, and 10 percent to other groups.
Corporation members such as Abdul Kunni, Fazeel Asaigoli, Arif, and others were also present.

Haindava Keralam - Asianet warns Reality show contestants - Never make fun of Minorities
http://www.haindavakeralam.com/HKPage.aspx?PageID=13831
| Asianet has been always in the forefront in abusing Hinduism through it's various programmes like Kannadi, Idea Star Singer, various comedy shows and never ending serials. Even never ending bhakthi serials are full of concocted stories aimed at abusing the Hinduism. But today in one of it's programme 'Vodafone Comedy Stars' the reputed judges were quick to warn the contestants that never ever dare to make fun of Minorities as it may hurt them and according to Jagadeesh, Film actor and Congress sympathiser – It is a big risk to themselves and their channel if such groups were ridiculed. In one of Reality Show segment of comedy stars the contestants – who always got used ito ridiculing Hindu symbols for a change took Pentacost Christians and their faith healing through irritating prayers as their theme. The person who was in coma got up from unconscious state after listening to the irritating prayers of the pentacost gang and from coma she sprang up and slapped the pastor .

Freelancers of God
Prakash Messi (right), a borewell-operator turned-preacher, has attracted people from all Religions, including Catholics
Singh is one of the thousands of preachers who have come up across the country, altering the way the gospel is spread and conversions are carried out. These freelancers of God are growing while mainstream churches are facing a decline in their missionary activities. Even as Hindutva groups raise concerns over Rs 10,000 crore in foreign contributions coming into India every year from abroad, mostly for missionary activities, independent churches are turning out to be the biggest beneficiaries of the funds.
Brother Dinakaran draws big crowds across south India
A kilometre away from Singh's church is the Believer's Church in Gurala, which came up in December last year. It is one of the newest links in the "church planting" movement, a process that involves setting up a new church under a preacher with a membership of 10 to 20 believers. These churches are almost always unaided by formal missionary structures but remain connected to their network.

"When I completed 20 baptisms, I wrote to the headquarters for setting up my own church," says Tarsem Lal, who runs the Believer's Church. He conducts Sunday prayers and regularly visits homes of people belonging to his church. Many of the parish members are encouraged to start their own churches, which operate from new buildings or residences of the members.

The hostility towards evangelical activities in India has also necessitated the need for promoting individual preachers instead of old missionary structures. "India's Christians are capable and committed to carrying the Gospel into their communities. They know the languages and customs and can work effectively in sensitive areas where a Western missionary could never set foot," says a Mission India brochure, requesting donations from the US.

From Messi's prayer hall, the road curves to cross a wheat field. On the far side stands St James Catholic Church. Set up in 1994 by the former bishop of Jalandhar, Syphorian Keeroath, known for building many Catholic schools and hospitals across the region, the church has been closed down. Many of the parishioners have joined Messi's prayer group and the rest travel to nearby Ajnala town for Sunday mass.
The Catholic Church is not amused. "These preachers are not trained in theology. They often play with the sentiments of people and lure them with incentives and create communal tension. We are forced to take the blame for their wayward preaching methods," says Sister Annie, the principal of All Saint's Convent School in Ajnala, who has been working in Punjab since 1984. Messi retorts, "If you close your doors, your church will also be closed. We travel among the people and visit homes of our parishioners regularly. Catholic missionaries have no time for the poor and the needy." Most new pastors work among Dalits in the region. They also widely use faith-healing methods, which are not popular among mainstream churches. Political parties such as the Congress and the Akali Dal have refused to make conversions a controversy and the VHP and Bajrang Dal have accused both parties of playing to the Christian vote bank.

In Orissa, where Maoists are strengthening their hold, churches are also drifting towards the Left. "You are breaking the rules. I will sit on the floor whenever you sit on the floor," Pastor Tirupati Rao tells a Kuvi tribal who has brought a chair for him. His group, organised under an NGA called Assist, preaches liberation theology in Raigarh district, discussing and reading the Bible from the perspective of the the poor and downtrodden. "God created mankind equal. Nobody has the right to crush fellow humans. All of us have equal right to a life of dignity," he tells a group of 50 sitting in the middle of a double-rowed maze of tribal huts.
There has been a spate of new, independent churches in Orissa after attacks by Hindus on Christians in Kandhamal in August 2008. After the riots, Maoists said that they were prepared to protect the lives and livelihood of the minorities. "The violence in Orissa forced many Christian missionaries to leave the state. Nothing is as precious as life and the security of nuns and priests," says Babu Joseph, spokesman of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India. But liberation theologists have found an opportunity in these areas. Maoists had driven away middlemen in the tobacco and spice trade in tribal districts and Assist has set up volunteer groups among tribals to sell their produce. "We have three such groups in Mukundpur, Jimidipeta and Keshingapur where we collect the produce, store it and sell it when prices go up. The income from the sales is used for the welfare of the tribals. They are given soft loans and they are helped financially during medical emergencies and marriages," says Yunesh Mandagni, a preacher associated with Assist.
These groups never baptise tribals and form "base communities", as the grassroots building blocks of liberation theology are called. They believe that the church's job is not just to bring people in contact with God but to ensure direct collective action against injustice. The idea has always been opposed by the Catholic church, which, under Pope Benedict, has gone against such movements in Latin America, calling the theology of liberation "a singular heresy".
In south India, the new churches are led by telegenic public speakers. Tamil Nadu has attracted most of the independent churches, thanks to foreign contributions, which stood at Rs 775 crore during 2002-03 and went up to Rs 2,244 crore during 2006-07. Chennai tops the list of cities receiving foreign contributions: Rs 363 crore in 2002-03 to Rs 929 crore in 2006-07. Paul Dinakaran and Mohan C. Lazarus are the leading evangelists in Tamil Nadu. It is said that actress Nagma took to Christianity because of Lazarus's preaching. His Jesus Redeems Ministry is quite popular in the state's southern districts such as Thoothukudi, Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli, where conversions are said to be rampant.
Andhra Pradesh also hosts many independent churches. The late chief minister YSR Reddy's son-in-law Anil Kumar's church, called Anil World Evangelism, has prospered in different parts of the state.
Hindu organisations have long been crying hoarse about conversions in Kerala but recently, those in the forefront against conversion have been the traditional Christian churches themselves. Evangelical and charismatic churches, which swear by the "gospel truth of the Bible", attract more Christians from traditional churches than members of other religions through mass prayers marked by hysterical outbursts of faith, passionate addresses by articulate pastors and emotional sessions conducted for "miracle healing" of terminal ailments.
The number of churches attached to the Kerala-based Pentecostal Council of India (PCI), an umbrella organisation of five Pentecostal groups, has gone from 700 in 1996 to nearly 3,000 and is still growing. According to PCI, more than 1,000 applications for affiliation are pending. The membership strength of these churches has increased to one million from 25,000."The rise in wealth and hierarchy of thetraditional churches have distancedtraditional churches from ordinary believers who are attracted by the personal,emotional and evangelist appeals of the new groups that offer instant wealth and health through prayers," said Father John Isaac, a Catholic priest. A new church, Divine Feast, in Kottayam, Kerala, hasattracted more than 8,000 members within three years of its formation.
The continuing exodus from their flock has shocked the state's traditional churches, which have a total membership of more than six million, or 19 per cent of Kerala's population. The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC)-the apex organisation of bishops from the Catholic church, the largest traditional Christian church-has made a fervent appeal to its flock to distance themselves from the "new generation churches" and prayer groups. In a pastoral letter, the kcbc condemned the new evangelists' fundamentalist attack on Indian traditions-such as Christian women wearing a mangalsutra-by calling them non-Christians. "Messages like these would harm communal amity," warned the KCBC.
It is difficult to count the number of independent churches in India. The Evangelical Fellowship of India (EFI), an umbrella group of evangelical organisations in India, has around 35,000 independent churches under its wing. "These are strictly registered churches with a certain level of maturity and 5,000 such churches have come up during the last five years. But there are many independent churches which are not registered and they are not part of us," says Richard Howell, general secretary of the EFI.
The flexibility of these new churches allows them to take on opponents like Hindutva parties and mainstream churches. Their grassroots links permit them to work all over the country. In Punjab, unlike in Kerala where Christianity had taken root much earlier, churches are using the local language and traditions to assimilate faster. Pastors are encouraged to retain their Hindu or Sikh first names. They greet each other with "Jai Messi ki".
"Listen to this gospel song that sounds like Gurbani (hymns written by the Sikh gurus)," says Singh, as his daughters play the song. Then he calls out to his wife, who is also a pastor, with complete Punjabi flair, "Pastorni, pastorni."

Questioning the Mahatma (book review)
Questioning the Mahatma (book review): "Mahatma Gandhi was a heartless and manipulative tyrant without the redeeming feature of political merit. On the contrary, his vision for India was confused, he twisted the meaning of straightforward terms like Swarajya (independence) to suit his own eccentric fancies, he never overcame his basic loyalty to the British Empire, and he didn't have the courage of his conviction when it was needed to avert the Partition of India. While playing the part of a Hindu sage in sufficient measure to keep the Hindu masses with him, he never championed and frequently harmed Hindu interests. Finally, his sexual experiments with young women were not a private matter but had an impact on his politics. Thus says a new study of Gandhi's political record by Hindu scholar Mrs. Radha Rajan.
The latest American book on Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Joseph Lelyveld’s Great Soul, has drawn a lot of attention. This was mainly because of its allegations about yet more eccentric sexual aspects of his Mahatmahood on top of those already known. In particular, Lelyveld overinterprets Gandhi’s correspondence with German-Jewish architect Hermann Kallenbach as evidence of a homosexual relationship. Bapu’s fans intoned the same mantra as the burners of Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses: “Freedom of expression doesn’t mean the right to insult revered figures.” Well, if it doesn’t mean that, it doesn’t mean much.
In particular, Lelyveld has all the more right to disclose what he found in the Mahatma’s bedroom because the latter was quite an exhibitionist himself, detailing every straying thought and nocturnal emission in his sermons and editorials. But do these tickling insinuations carry any weight? Other, more troubling aspects of Gandhi’s résumé are far more deserving of closer scrutiny. Some unpleasant instances of his impact on India and Hinduism have been discussed thoroughly in a new book, Eclipse of the Hindu Nation: Gandhi and His Freedom Struggle (New Age Publ., Kolkata), by Mrs. Radha Rajan, editor of the Chennai-based nationalist website, www.vigilonline.com .
Radha Rajan was already the author, with Krishen Kak, of NGOs, Activists and Foreign Funds: Anti-Nation Industry (2006), a scholarly X-ray of the NGO scene, exposing this holier-than-thou cover for both corruption and anti-India machinations. The present book likewise takes a very close look at a subject mostly presented only in the broad strokes of hagiography. In particular, she dissects the Hindu and anti-Hindu content of Gandhi’s policies. Both were present, the author acknowledges his complexity, but there was a lot less Hindu in him than mostly assumed.
Rama had Vasishtha, Chandragupta had Chanakya, Shivaji had Ramdas, but Gandhi never solicited the guidance of any Hindu rajguru. By contrast, every step of the way in his long formative years, he read Christian authors and welcomed the advice of Christian clergymen. This way, he imbibed many monotheistic prejudices against heathen Hinduism, to the point that in 1946 he insisted for the new temple on the BHU campus not to contain an “idol”. (p.466)
Gandhi took his Hindu constituents for granted but never showed any concern for specific Hindu interests. The story that he staked his life to quell the massacres of Hindus in Noakhali in 1947, turns out to be untrue: his trip to East Bengal took place under security cover and well after the worst violence had subsided. There and wherever Hindus were getting butchered en masse in 1947-48, he advised them to get killed willingly rather than fight back or flee. It is breathtaking how often his writings and speeches contain expressions like: “I don’t care if many die.” And it was the first time in Hindu history that anyone qualified going down without a fight against a murderous aggressor as “brave”.
All his fasts unto death proved to be empty play when he refused to use this weapon to avert the Partition, in spite of promises given. It was the only time when he ran a real risk of being faced with an opponent willing to let him die rather than give in. Radha Rajan documents how unpopular he had become by then, not only among fellow politicians who were exasperated at his irrationality, but also among the masses suffering the effects of his confused policies. Had Gandhi not been murdered, his star would have continued to fall and he would have been consigned to the dustbin of history.
Gandhi made a caricature of Hinduism by presenting his own whimsical and eccentric conduct as quintessentially Hindu, such as the rejection of technological progress, maintaining sexual abstinence even within marriage, and most consequentially, extreme non-violence under all circumstances. This concept owed more to Jesus’ “turning the other cheek” than to Hindu-Buddhist ahimsa. He managed to read his own version of non-violence into the Bhagavad Gita, which in fact centres on Krishna’s rebuking Arjuna’s plea for Gandhian passivity. He never invoked any of India’s warrior heroes and denounced the freedom fighters who opted for armed struggle, under the quiet applause of the British rulers whose lives became a lot more comfortable with such a toothless opponent.
The author acknowledges Gandhiji’s sterling contribution to the weakening of caste prejudice among the upper castes. His patronizing attitude towards the Harijans will remain controversial, but the change of heart he effected among the rest of Hindu society vis-à-vis the Scheduled Castes was revolutionary. However, once educated SC people started coming up and speaking for themselves, his response was heartless and insulting. Thus, a letter is reproduced in which the Mahatma with chilling pedantry belittles an admiring Constituent Assembly candidate from the scavengers’ caste for his “bookish English” and because: “The writer is a discontented graduate. (…) I fear he does no scavenging himself” and thus “he sets a bad example” to other scavengers. In conclusion, he advises the educated scavenger to stay out of politics.(p.480) Few readers will have expected the sheer nastiness of this saint’s temper tantrums.
Likewise, his supposed saintliness is incompatible with his well-documented mistreatment of his sons and especially of his faithful wife, whom he repeatedly subjected to public humiliation. Here too, Gandhi’s sexual antics receive some attention. The whole idea of an old man seeking to strengthen his brahmacharya (chastity) by sleeping with naked young women, is bad enough. Perhaps we had to wait for a lady author to give these victims a proper hearing. Radha Rajan documents the fear with which these women received Gandhi’s call to keep him company, as well as their attempts to avoid or escape this special treatment and the misgivings of their families. She praises the self-control of Gandhi’s confidants who, though horrified, kept the lid on this information out of concern for its likely demoralizing effect on the Congress movement. The Mahatma himself wasn’t equally discreet, he revealed the names of the women he had used in his chastity experiments, unmindful of what it would do to their social standing.
When Sardar Patel expressed his stern disapproval of these experiments, Gandhi reacted with a list of cheap allegations, which Patel promptly and convincingly refuted. Lowly insinuations turn out to be a frequent presence in the Mahatma’s correspondence. As the author observes: “Reputed historians and other eminent academicians have not undertaken so far any honest study of Gandhi’s character. Just as little is known of his perverse experiments with women, as little is known of his vicious anger and lacerating speech that he routinely spewed at people who opposed him or rejected him.” While careful not to offend the powerful among his occasional critics, like his sponsor G.D. Birla, “he treated those whom he considered inferior to him in status with contempt and in wounding language”. (p.389)
Unlike in Lelyveld’s account, the references to Gandhi’s sexual gimmicks here have political relevance. More importantly, Gandhi’s discomfort with Patel’s disapproval was a major reason for his overruling the Congress workers’ preference for Patel and foisting his flatterer Jawaharlal Nehru as Prime Minister on India instead. Thus, argues Radha Rajan, he handed India’s destiny over to an emergent coalition of anti-Hindu forces. To replace Nehru as party leader, he had his yes-man J.B. Kripalani selected, not coincidentally the one among those in the know who had explicitly okayed the chastity experiments. The Mahatma’s private vices spilled over into his public choices with grave political consequences.

Double honor killing in India: Muslim mothers murder daughters for marrying Hindus - Jihad Watch
Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. As far as these mothers are concerned, to have allowed such marriages would have been worse than murdering their own daughters. “We killed them because they had brought shame to our community. How could they elope with Hindus? They deserved to die. We have no remorse.”
"Turned over to kin after elopement, Baghpat women killed by mothers," from Indian Express, May 14 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
Two Muslim women in an Uttar Pradesh town, 40 km east of Delhi, allegedly killed their daughters because they had eloped and married migrant Bihari Hindu labourers, police said.The victims had sought police protection after they returned to their homes in Baghpat earlier this week, but the subdivisional magistrate sent them home to reconcile with their mothers.
On Wednesday night, Khatun and Subrato, both of whom are widows, allegedly tied their daughters, 19-year-old Zahida and 26-year-old Husna, to cots and threw a rope around their necks. They then held the girls down and tightened the noose until the victims suffocated to death, police said.
Khatun and Subrato have been arrested. A third woman called Momina, their neighbour in Baghpat’s Muslim-dominated Mughalpura area, who allegedly helped them commit the murders, is on the run.
“We killed them because they had brought shame to our community. How could they elope with Hindus? They deserved to die. We have no remorse,” Khatun and Subrato said Friday....
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar defends SASB decision to curtail Amarnath yatra - .:::Kashmir Dispatch:::.
Srinagar: Hindu spiritual guru, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who also is member Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), on Tuesday, defended the board’s decision to curtail the duration of the Amarnath yatra.
“It has come to my notice that some people are creating rumours that the board came under pressure from anti-religious elements to curtail the duration of the Yatra. As a member of the Sri Amarnathji Shrine Board, I would like to say that these allegations are baseless,” Sri Sri said in a statement issued here.
“The date of commencement of the Yatra was determined with a view to ensuring, as far as possible, that the Yatris are not stranded as in the past. Considering the weather pattern during June in the past years, the Shrine Board was not inclined to commence the Yatra before 1st July. However, the Shrine Board decided that the pilgrimage should begin on 29th June 2011 as this day is a Wednesday, Maasa Shivratri, Rohini Nakshatra and Subha Yoga, which is good for the commencement of the holy Yatra,” he added.
As the VHP has already threatened that they would proceed to the Yatra from June 15 only, Sri Sri appealed to the people not to disrupt peace in the state.
“I appeal to all those who are planning to undertake the forthcoming Yatra to start the Yatra on 29th June. 15th June which is Jaisht Poornima day is not a good day for commencement of the Yatra as it is Dwanksha Yoga. I also request people not to be swayed by rumours and not to play into the hands of those who want to disturb the peace and harmony of the region,” he said.
While ridiculing all claims made by "anybody" on the auspiciousness and significance of the yatra, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president, Dubey asked, " Where were those who claim now to be organizers of the yatra when in 1995-96 militants had issued the threat and the holy mace had to be flown by helicopter to do the ritual".
"This is quite ironical that some immediately spring up with appeals and sloganeering on the holy pilgrimage who otherwise show no concern anywhere throughout," said Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president who is also founder trustee of BAYN.
Dubey said that whatever BAYN has decided to take out the yatra on June 15 is final and binding and nothing is going to be changed, come what may.
Meanwhile BJP state chief spokesperson & national executive member Jitendra Singh reiterating his warning said that for any unwarranted conflict in the name of ensuing Amarnath Yatra the sole responsibility will lie on Governor and the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) constituted by him.
He said that right from beginning the BJP has been urging the Governor to take "Baba Amarnath and Buda Amarnath (BABA) Yatri Niyas" into confidence in deciding the timing, duration and conduct of Amarnath Yatra but the authorities have shown total disregard for the sentiments of people and arbitrarily curtailed the Yatra period only to appease the diktats of separatist leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
Expressing worry over the impending confrontation between BABA Yatri Niyas and SASB, Dr. Jitendra Singh refuted one by one each and every argument forwarded by the government to curtail the period of Yatra.
The BJP spokesman however refused to comment on Ravi Shankar's statement, but said any mischief from government to put pressure on the people to misguide them would be bringing Niyas' ire from all over India.
