*** India decides on Congress led UPA – is it a default, surprise or strategy? ***

Guest Post by Ashwin Kumaraswamy

The following reasons in my opinion led to Congress victory:

BJP’s short sighted attempt to make this election a presidential form of election and by making personal remarks on Dr Singh calling him a “nikhama” and weak Prime Minister.

RTI, NREGA have been a massive hit in those states where it has been utilized properly

The 3rd front myth has been busted

Rahul Gandhi being the youth icon

Emergence of Rahul Gandhi

DMK and SP holding roughly to their position this accounts for roughly 50seats

हारना वाकई दुखद है, लेकिन सच्चाई स्वीकार करो और पुनः काम में जुट जाओ… BJP Defeat, UPA wins, Election Assessment

हारना वाकई दुखद है, लेकिन सच्चाई स्वीकार करो और पुनः काम में जुट जाओ… BJP Defeat, UPA wins, Election Assessment

किसी ने भी नहीं सोचा था कि इतनी महंगाई (आम आदमी के रोज़मर्रा के जीवन को छूने वाला एक मुद्दा) तथा भयानक आतंकवाद (“एलीट क्लास” का मुद्दा) जैसे मुद्दों के बावजूद जनता कांग्रेस-यूपीए को जितायेगी, लेकिन यह हुआ।

यदि सरसरी तौर पर विश्लेषण किया जाये तो भाजपा की हार के कुछ कारण दिखाई देते हैं, वे इस प्रकार हैं –

1) लालकृष्ण आडवाणी की स्वीकार्यता जनता में नहीं होना,
आडवाणी को प्रधानमंत्री पद का उम्मीदवार बनाना शायद एक गलत कदम था, उनकी बजाय नरेन्द्र मोदी या सुषमा स्वराज को यदि ठीक से “मार्केटिंग” करके मैदान में उतारा जाता तो युवा वोटर का रुझान भाजपा को अधिक मिलता।

2) कम वोटिंग प्रतिशत, तथा

3) मीडिया का एकतरफ़ा सतत चलने वाला भाजपा-विरोधी अभियान।

लेकिन इसका मतलब यह हरगिज़ नहीं कि भाजपा-संघ-हिन्दुत्ववादी कार्यकर्ताओं को हतबल होकर बैठ जाना चाहिये।

क्या हिन्दुओं और हिन्दुत्व के चारो ओर मंडरा रहे संकेत मद्धिम हो गये, हरगिज़ नहीं। आज जनता इस बात को समझने में नाकाम रही है, तो हमारा यह कर्तव्य है कि उसे समझाने का प्रयास लगातार करते रहें…

यह उतार-चढ़ाव तो आते ही रहेंगे… लक्ष्य पर निगाह रखो और पुनः उठ खड़े हो, चलो…

Self-surrender only after establishment of Hindu Nation – Savarkar

Mumbai: Swatantryaveer Savarkar lived only with the goal of establishment of an undivided Hindu Nation. I also made efforts in that direction.

I am called as an old lion; but a lion will never eat grass even if it becomes old. I shall strive to create an undivided Hindu Nation and then may be, I’ll think about self-surrender.

The above fierece thoughts full of love for his nation and Dharma were expressed by Shri. Vikramrao Savarkar, former President of Hindu Mahasabha.

Shri. Vikramrao Savarkar being felicitated

What they teach in madrasas?

What they teach in madrasas?

By CK Mohan

None of the 55 Muslim countries of the world have made madrasa education equivalent to modern education in their countries. Hence, candidates with madrasa qualification would not get jobs in Muslim countries.

But in Hindu-majority secular India, the madrasa-qualified candidates are made eligible for selection to every government jobs, at par with CBSE qualified candidates.

Muslims tricks to shut down faithfreedom.org

Muslims tricks to shut down faithfreedom.org
May 11, 2009

Muslims have sent protest letters to Limestone Network, who is Internet Service provider of a Faithfreedom.org.

Faith Freedom International is an organ providing a venue for ex-Muslims to express their views.

Leaving Islam is a crime punishable by death. We constantly receive death threats and most of us write anonymously to protect our lives and the lives of our loved ones. The instruction of Muhammad in regards to apostasy was clear. “whoever leaves Islam kill him.”

We left Islam and we oppose it. We oppose Islam because Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims and abuses the human rights of minorities and women. Islam expanded mostly by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers.

Our site is not spamming. We have a weekly newsletter that we send to all those who subscribe. At the bottom of the newsletter there is a link to unsubscribe.

Muslims know that truth is the biggest enemy of Islam. They have tried in every conceivable way to stop faithfreedom.org. They used every trick in the book to shut us down.
