George Menezes of Hindustan Times exposes himself

That bare fundamental facts do not matter in getting yourself published in the "secular" tabloids like the HT, IE, TOI and The Hindu is glaringly evident by this column from Christian fundamentalist George Menezes, a columnist for the Hindustan Times. George in making a case for opposing anti-conversion laws which have been enacted in 5 states, and pending enactment in Rajasthan, exposes his brazen ignorance twice over by first saying:

"In my personal opinion, the legislation to ban conversions is not worth the paper on which it is printed. All these legislations can be challenged in the Supreme Court."

The Supreme Court actually has in fact heard this matter before and ruled in the favor of the govts of MP and Orissa in the 1977 Rev Stanislaus case. It is based on this ruling that let alone state govts, there could be a national anti-conversion law if only the Indian people have the resolve to do so.

Christian fundoo George Menezes then shoots again:

"Today, anti-conversion bills do not really want to deal with forced and fraudulent conversions because such a thing hardly exists. Chief secretaries and collectors in the states of Orissa, Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, when asked about the number of forced and fraudulent conversions they have seen, caught or punished in the last 25 years, confessed that the number was zero."

The above actually had me in hysterical splits because all the states named above are precisely those which have anti-conversion laws in place! When peddling "secular" trash, the 4 leading tabloids of the Indian media do not so much as require rudimentary research. Just blow hot air and sprinkle your article liberally with the magic phrase "Hindu fundamentalist" and the editors like Gupta, Sanghvi and N Ram salivate to publish you.

To date I have yet to read a single Indian Christian asking the Christian fundamentalist Pope who himself presides over a Christian theocracy, to butt out of the internal affairs of democratic India. I have yet to read about a single Indian Christian condemning the govt ban of The Da Vinci Code in Nagaland, Goa and Punjab. But then those with Hindu names are themselves busy on a witch hunt in Gujarat and lapping up the likes of Muslim fundamentalist Aamir Khan. When so called Hindus themselves cannot put their house in order, what else could be the outcome in the face of belligerent minority Christians and Muslims?

Vir Sanghvi performs his characteristic tightrope walk

Ahhh...the times they-are-a-challenging for the pseudosecular mafia of the Indian media. Issues that test the "secular" mettle of the likes of Sanghvi are flying fast and furious. As these are being played out nearly simultaneously -- Hussain controversy came together with Muhammad (PBUH) cartoon controversy, Hussain yet again with The Da VInci Code and so on. Only a spinmaster of the caliber of Sanghvi could juggle these issues at once, Houdini would be proud. Now "secular" and "liberal" maestro that he is, Sanghvi but of course has to rubbish the Hindu outrage at the Husain pornography and defend Hussain much like a Lioness guarding her cubs or like a threatened Cobra hissing. When something like this happens at the same time as when Sanghvi's pet minority's sentiments are hurt, Sanghvi mumbles and complains and begs with the minorities and criticizes them just for the record.

Pope Ratzinger criticized India for some states not allowing a free harvest of souls for the Christian lord. This was over a week back. In about 3 days after this BJP president Rajnath Singh asked the Pope to mind his own business and not to meddle in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. In response to the BJP expressing outrage at this, after much debate and midnight meetings and after having consulted all the reverends in the country and of course Catholic Antonia Maino's go ahead, making sure that delicate minority feelings are not hurt, the Indian govt finally a week later, issued a formal rebuttal yesterday. Sanghvi who did not have a pip-squeak to say immediately after the pope spewed his customary trash, now gets the moral courage to support the govt decision, more like a govt peon waiting for his Sahab's go ahead. But then to make sure his christian Memsaab Sonia's feelings are not hurt, Sanghvi performs his characteristic tightrope act. This act is not for mere mortals and best perfomed only by a professional spinmeister like Sanghvi. He blasts the BJP for asking the Pope to stick it where the sun dont shine, as the BJP does not have the "secular" certificate that all the other parties have. Watching out for so called Hindu interests in its own place of birth and its own land, arouses the "secular" rage within Sanghvi. But then this is just a small part of the Houdini act by the likes of Sanghvi. More to follow soon enough, as the English media continues with its "secular" crusade.

Indian English media reaffirms their laserlike devotion to the Congress party

All it took is a week to reveal how objective the Indian english media can be. Exactly a week back,to the day, 2 BJP workers were murdered by Islamic terrorists while taking part in a rally in Doda, J&K. The news barely made it as a PTI snippet to Hindustan Times, hidden somewhere in the deep confines of the web, it was completely blanked out by the TOI, Hindu and Indian Express. Only The Daily Pioneer gave it the attention that it deserved in its Sunday editorial. Cheap Hindu lives, the likes of Shekhar Gupta must have thought, not newsworthy and that too BJP workers at that! Bah, to hell with those, why did they have to rally, surely they brought it upon themselves! This is the same perverse logic that the media used in Godhra, why did those Rama Bhaktas have to go to Ayodhya, surely they brought it upon themselves. Its important for Hindus to be on their best behavior you see, else the Muslims get very angry very quickly. Why the hell don't these damn Hindus understand such basic funda thinks the media. And Shekhar Gupta in particular has personally assured the Pakistanis while visiting there, that it should be left to the press to take care of the BJP. Two less BJP workers would surely make my job easier said a beaming Gupta.

Contrast that with the round the clock updates from the super sleuths of these tabloids, now that people were murdered in a Congress rally in Srinagar. Its replete with possible suspects, motives and investigative reports. In Saudi Arabia, there's a table which how valuable a human life is based on their religion and sex. Surely enough at the bottom of the list are Hindus, Hindu women being at the bottom of the list, with Hindu men barely worth a few hundred more Riyals. The priorities of the editors of the leading English dailies seem to closely resemble the Saudi priorities, with human value being decided by religion and party affiliations, with Hindus and particularly BJP party workers ranking at the bottom. Now the paradox is while these pseudo-secular mafia have Hindu sounding names, they treat other Hindus as trash while grovelling before the minorities mostly for the Muslims and Christians. With such a value sytem (non-muslims are called Dhimmis in the Islamic world meaning their value is at par with trash) is it any wonder that an ex baby sitter runs the country with mere frowns and shrugs? Indians are the easiest people to be ruled by rank outsiders as convincingly demonstrated by the anti-national English media.

Meanwhile home minister Shivraj Patil, has declared that no matter how many innocents are murdered by the Islamic goons, it cannot shake India's resolve to do business with the terrorist state of Pakistan. The "peace process" is irreversible according to the UPA govt, meaning that no force on earth inculding Pakistan can shake it in its resolve to gift away the Kashmir valley. Someone overheard Patil saying with his fist clenched and an iron resolve -- "Bomb daalo ya na daalo hum Kashmir dekar hi rahenge". Pakistan meanwhile senses the Indian resolve in gifting away the valley but keeps up the fireworks just as timely reminders as to the continued implementation of the "peace process".

Vir Sanghvi's "sickular" double standards on stark display

Vir Sanghvi put another sickening show of his pseudosecular credentials on brilliant display with his latest editorial. In an earlier editorial, titled very belligerently "None of your business", which is more the language used by squabbling teenagers than what befits a national daily, Sanghvi and his fellow secular thugs, in a no-nonsense belligerent tone, ostensibly defending "artistic expression", showed their middle finger to the extremely upset Hindu community who despite being greatly provoked by pornographic display of their gods and goddesses, took the lawful route and have dragged MF Hussain to court. Apparently Sanghvi and his cohorts have a problem with any kind of action being taken against their pet minority communities no matter what the cause.

Note when it comes to dealing with minority protests, how Sanghvi's views suddenly becomes very nuanced, goes into deep analysis and simply blames the entire country as simply being protesters. When the Christian's display a stinky trait Sanghvi magically transforms it into an quintessentially Indian quality, gone is the belligerent in-your-face tone that was displayed when dealing with the Hindus protesting the Hussain pornography, and instead literally begs and pleads with the Christian community as to why they are being so unreasonable as after all they are a very "liberal" lot, never mind that they are on a virtual rampage in most parts of the country, particularly the North East where the Church actively foments terrorism and arms cachets have been found stocked in Churches. Nevermind that they shove their God down the throat of all unsuspecting pagans and will not acknowledge the possibility of other Gods also being in existence. Anyway I digress... Sanghvi conveniently labels the US and the west "Christian" countries, and that they have viewed The Code without loud protests, nevermind the fact that the film has been made and lapped up by those in the west who in fact do not see themselves as Christians. The same Sanghvi, I am sure, in true "secular" style, will make the US and the West "secular" countries when needed, to buttress his lofty "secular" ideals. If Sanghvi indeed thinks that the west that he would like India to emulate, is Christian, why would he have a problem with a India that is Hindu as he has spewed umpteen times in the past? Inconvenient questions for the "secular" elite I think.

Sanghvi also asks how would Hindus react if such a movie was made about their Gods. The answer to that is Hindu mythology itself is full of stories of a philandering Krishna or a gluttonous Ganesha, so if a similar movie as The Code were to be made, Hindus would happily take it in their stride! In fact its this very realization which makes a MF Hussain go the extent of displaying Hindu Gods pornographically because that is what it would take to get the Hindus provoked! The Code merely gives a more humanistic portrayal of Jesus and that is so supposed to be blasphemous to the Christians! Actually on reason why the book and the movie are popular in the west is that the Catholics are in a state of shock at the the rampant pedophilia in the clergy who are supposed to be the very representatives of Jesus and have slowly started looking beyond the conventional stories fed to them by the clergy. Another reason is Christians are intrigued by the idea of a humanistic portrayal of Jesus and that he might have led a normal life, something which is so inherent in the stories of Hindu gods.

Indian Express: Gujarat courts must understand that Muslims are our honorary guests

While Gandhi might have perfected the art of Charka spinning, the columnists of the Indian Express are taking the art of journalistic spinning to never before seen heights. Pratap Mehta of the Indian Express while exchanging high-fives with his 4M(Mullah-Marxist-Missionary-Macaulayite) mentors like Shekhar Gupta and genuflecting before the Indian minorities who have gotten used to believing that they ought to be treated like minor royalty, feels that no matter what the merit of the case, nevermind that about 20 temples too were demolished, Muslims unlike Hindus should be treated extra tenderly and with kid gloves, otherwise the press in its self appointed role as the pseudo-secular police of India, reserves the right to stick it to Modi. Meanwhile in Madurai more than 250 temples have been demolished without any protest from the Indian Express's secular police because these are merely Hindu temples and Hindus merely murmur wimpy protests and eventually take it in their stride in the greater interest of the community at large, unlike their muslim brethren who protest violently and get stellar assistance in this from the likes of the Indian Express. Here are some pictures of the temples being demolished in Vadodara.
