P.S: The author Sudheendra Kulkarni, has just resigned from the BJP.

I remember during the earlier part of the present decade Congress looked like a rudderless ship, when BJP /NDA was going strong supported by an upturn in Indian economy. Many pundits wrote the obituary of Congress under Sonia. Remember Sonia speaking of mild Hindutwa to counter BJP?
Now everything has changed. Congress is looking super-confident while BJP looks completely a house in disorder. But politicians are smart to know how to make the right compromise for putting their house in order and go to the voters with the right issues. Politics finally is all about power- there can't be a power vacuum. You cannot write BJP's obituary so soon.

According to the denizens of the Stinking Calcutta Commie Club(SCCC), BJP is a 'political instrument' of the RSS. Well at least they're an instrument of a national and nationalistic organization, dedicated to the preservation of their national traditions.
But an anyone say which foreign nations these stinking Commies whichever alphabet-soup they may be), are instrument of?
Yes, the instrument of foreign powers dedicated to the destruction of their own homeland (I was going to say 'of their own nation', but realized my mistake- India is not 'their nation'! Their nation is a foreign land- any of the Mandarins can vouch for that)

So Saba NAQLI is a coemdian now! Ms. NAQLI - you were, and are doomed to remain NAQLI. You are a great example to yound writers on - how NOT to write. First go back to a writing school (note - not a journalism school - for alas! you can never become one with your cramped mind and juvenile tendencies) and then STAY there.

BJP is political instrument of RSS: Karat

Bhopal, Aug 30 (PTI) Terming the crisis-ridden BJP as a "political instrument" of RSS, CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat today said the Sangh was dictating terms to the party.

"BJP is not a normal party. It is a political instrument of RSS," Karat told reporters when asked for his comments on the developments in BJP.

The day RSS claimed that it is a cultural organisation after the crisis in BJP reached a crescendo, the very next day, they started dictating terms to BJP to put its house in order, he said.
http://www.ptinews.c...rument-of-RSS--Karat

What makes RSS beyond criticism ? What is it hiding ? Why does not it come out of closet and fight an election ? Why does not it declare its policies in clear and loud ? Why hide behind a "mukhota" ?

Let's have a referendum. Let's have an awareness program of all the RSS policies and speeches and books of its leaders so far. Let's have their leader come out of closet and speak to masses through TV and open sabhas. Let people vote on whether they want to have India as a secular and democratic country or authoritative totalitarian state envisaged by RSS. No violence and very clean referendum.

Ms Naqvi

You are supposed to be a journalist, not a narrow minded prejudiced bigot.

Very poor, third class piece indeed. It is not conclusive, it doesn't proves anything. Written simply for Bhagwat bashing. Why a personalised article for RSS chief? He hasn't encouraged those feelings as pointed in your article, at least till now. He is behaving quiet decently (at least in public). Or is it so that you felt like hitting anyone -anything related to BJP.Poor choice, poor taste.

Saba,
Please take a break from BJP-bashing and go on sabatical. That will give us hapless readers a break as well from your stuck record.

Better late than never!
Wish, bjp had paid heed to the wisdom that calls for 80+ politicians to retire from active politics and act as advisors only. It would not have touted Advani as the PM candidate. Defeat is a great teacher! All this advice of retiring would have been non-existent had the bjp won!

BJP needs to define its political, economical, and social plank to be a viable party. Presently, its plank seems to be anti-incumbency! Spell it out, how it is different than the UPA.

"It goes without saying that Islam stands for equality and human brotherhoods".
Vivek Chatterjee3, Calcutta,
YOU ARE A JOKER BECAUSE YOU ARE CRACKING SILLY JOKES.

Vivek if "Islam stands for equality and human brotherhoods" why are MUSLIMS killing each other all over the world- AFPAK, SUDAN, SOMALIA, CHAD, IRAQ etc etc.

-- If "ISLAM stands for BROTHERHOOD" why is it that the Arab Muslims do not give citizenship rights to Indian MUSLIMS- especially when the Indian MUSLIMs can get citizenship rights in USA, UK, etc which I am sure will be identified as the source of the all trouble for MUSLIMs. It is because the ARAB MUSLIMS consider themselves "upper caste Muslims" and so they do NOT want the "lower Caste" Indian Muslims to be their citizen. The ARAB MUSLIMS treat Indian Muslims who work in GULF COUNTRIES as "slaves" and you talk of "the great ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD".

"Thousands of innocent men have been killed and muslim women raped in Kashmir by security forces".

The recent incident at SHOPIAN has been perpetrated by "KASHMIRI ISLAMIC POLICE" . You are spreading PAKI propaganda with out ascertaining facts. Indian Security Forces have never ever used "Heavy Guns or planes to bomb civilians in KASHMIR even at the peak of terrorism" like what is happening in AFPAK.

If MUSLIMS insist in studying in MADRASSA and then demand job of "Top professionals/Govt jobs, it just can NOT happen. They must educate themselves to get good job. If you are one of the advocates of proportional representation in GOVT jobs equivalent to the population of MUSLIMS in India, it is unlikely to succeed and if implemented will benefit BJP most.

@ Avivek Chatter

“-the Muslims in India after independence have become a poor and persecuted minority” -Sandilya

>> The Sachchar commission has aptly dealt with the above subject and found out that there is a profound low representation of Muslims in many government jobs. The incidents in Gujarat(2002-3) and Mumbai(92-93)prove that Muslims are not safe in this country.

In a span of sixty years India has had four Muslim presidents- two were of course outstanding men. Four Supreme court chief justices, one Air Chief marshal- 30% of Air Chiefs were minorities- and umpteen no. of governors and elected ministers and even CMs. This is about the share of Muslims in public life.

In the commercial world where survival of the fittest is the deciding factor, few examples of Muslims who excelled are given below. This is not my statement but by Dr Farrukh Saleem,a pakistani journalist..........

“-For the record: Azim Premji, the richest Muslim entrepreneur on the face of the planet, was born in Bombay and now lives in Bangalore. India now has more than three dozen billionaires; Pakistan has none (not a single dollar billionaire)”.


Dr. Y.K. Hamied,CMD of pharma giant Cipla is another well accomplished industrialist. In cinema too there is fairly good share of Muslims by their own merit and accomplishments. In games & sports we had muslim captains of Indian teams, and Sania in Tennis is well known.

It would be interesting if any other nation- especially a muslim nation- can be named where the share of minorities in public life and commercial world is as much as in India.

-they are not being given employment in public and private sectors in proportion to their population; and>>Sandilya

>> The low representation of Muslims is an eye-opener for blinkered bajrangies like you. Avivek

There cannot be openings to people who do not want to upgrade their knowledge and skills being low in intelligence and motivation but big in emotional driven foul mouthing like you idiot.

The above examples prove amply that there is no problem what so ever for any hard working muslim but if one chooses to lean on his religious card to cover one’s own incompetency, well, there is always Hindu bogey.

UPSC , IIT and IIM entrance examinations are all fair and islands of excellence. Why your tribes are not seen in droves? Its bcze your tribe is intellectually challenged. Instead of exploring the hard ways to win over with knowledge-based achievements, young radical Muslims are indulging in mindless violence, justifying it by quoting holy texts. They are only bringing down Islam. Instead of accepting that you try to cover up by raising the bogey of discrimination. My left foot.

Aren’t you ashamed that on one side you gloat that Muslims ruled India for 700 years and on the other side you claim victimhood and backwardness. Hasn’t it occurred to you that despite so many years of alien rule, Hindus have not done bad at all, why?
Hindus are much more progressive than you foul mouthed.

In the article ‘The future belongs to Jinnah’ published in ‘The news (Thursday, August 27, 2009)’ Yasser Latif Hamdani says the following-



“In the 1930s and the 1940s, the Hindu bourgeoisie was not nearly as mature – though much more so than its Muslim counterpart -- to look up to a successful and secular barrister from the minority community ....

Doesn’t this amply exemplify that Hindus have adapting to changing times and even among Muslims also those who had adapted are doing well and only those bums like you keep complaining.

I respect your respecting of prophet Mohammed. I even break Iftar with one of my junior muslim colleague bcz I find him a good individual. But you and reddy never follow that golden rule of 'treating others the way you like others treat you'. You indulge in abuses of revered Hindu Gods.
Is this what your education taught you? And you lecture us on tolerance. Why should any respect you when you do not extend similar niceties?
Live and let live and mutual respect shall be the policy.

Criticising HINDU organisation has become a mandatory pre-requisite to prove secular credentials while questioning other religions has come to be equated to "communalism" in present day India.

AKIL
I pity you Akil you donot know yet the true tenets of a secular in our country. For your ready reference I post the following. For your future compliance pl.

The word secular is defined in the dictionaries as “the belief that the state, morals, education, etc. should be independent of religion.” But in India it means only one thing — eschewing everything Hindu and espousing everything Islamic.

Every one who wants to qualifying as secular should subscribe to the folowing articles of faith :

-the Muslims in India after independence have become a poor and persecuted minority;

-they are being deprived of their fair share in the fruits of development;


-they are not being given employment in public and private sectors in proportion to their population; and

-the preponderance of Hindus in the security forces puts in grave peril the lives, honour and properties of Muslims.

-Every Hindu politician or pen-pusher who aspires to pass the test has to

proclaim that Islam stands for equality and human brotherhood;

celebrate the prophet’s birthday with fanfare and throw an iftar dinner at the end of Ramzan;


-support the claim of Urdu to be the second state language in all states where Muslims are in a minority;


-abuse Israel and applaud Arab countries.
He should also keep quiet or look the other way when Muslims

-refuse to give modern education to their children;

Isn't what is being stated about lack of "fund accountability" of RSS TRUE for all religious organisations in India??? Is the inflow of FUNDS for CHRISTIAN evangelical activity or ISLAMIC conversion activity audited???

KARUNYA UNIVERSITY in Coimbatore run by PAUL DHINAKARAN, the multi-crore evangelist, collects Rs 10000/- in cash from all students joining the University, irrespective of their religion, as membership fee for "JESUS CALLS" organisation. Mr Pranab Mukherjee, the present FM may claim ignorance but Mr Chithambaram, the previous FM can certainly NOT be ignorant about it as he is from TN. Is this FUND collection legal and is it being audited???

Criticising HINDU organisation has become a mandatory pre-requisite to prove secular credentials while questioning other religions has come to be equated to "communalism" in present day India.

Seshadri,

>> its (RSS's) relatively free politicians tend to conflict, mostly bec of inducements by chrislamics in the press and electronic media only.

Do the "chrisislamics" have such a hold on the press as to rattle those sanghis? Such a silly comment!

Clearly, psuedo-sec saba naqvi is clearely unhappy that the bjp, devoid of dictats from church like the congress nor those from china like the leftists, finds someone like the RSS-chief to stabilize its shaking ship, when its relatively free politicians tend to conflict, mostly bec of inducements by chrislamics in the press and electronic media only. But, she can be assured that the RSS will not fall to her bait and become the equivalent to bjp of what the church and china are for the congress and leftists, respectively.

Seen through the sarcasm painted over by Saba, the suggestion of bhagwat is only a very good one: that those in their eighties in the bjp leadership should move above as only an advisory group, like what the rishis were to the rajas in ancient india's aarya-varta. rishir bhavet raaja-guruh, prucchataam eva vaacanam. They should remain uninvolved observers, offering correct comments, only when asked. Like transducers in control systems, potentiometer-types, they will give correct readings only when not loaded, the galvo must read zero, when readings are taken!

In fact, the RSS chief could be the head of this senior advisory-only group and all ex-chiefs of rss could also be associated as additional members, besides senior bjpians like advani, joshi, ex-vp et. al. giving policy advices only, not dictating the choice of leaders. Leaders should only be democratically and openly elected from duly constituted member-bodies in all states and the centre.

"The Sangh would become accountable to the Indian public, the BJP’s health may improve as party leaders could then stop second guessing the RSS and take direct instructions from the Godfather"

RSS has kept itself out of purview of Puclic accountability for so long for nothing. Joining politics would finish it off in no time. It operates as a charitable trust. Its funds are unaccountable. It points fingers at everyone else but never has been audited. Even a suggestion would seriously damage it like now. People would start asking all sorts of questions of its funding and its undemocratic culture and facsist ideology. Last of all it would become accountable to Indian public and if public is not satisfied it could kick it in back like it did bjp. How could it put itself out there like that ?

There is a moral dilemma too. It does not believe in democracy. It does not believe in entity (nation-state)called India or Indian constitution or its flag (I could go on but you get the idea) so how can it participate in an election ?

Miss Bhowmick just by putting this suggestion on the table you have created a ton of problems for RSS.

P.S: RSS does not recognize Indian Republic or its flag or its constitution.

Saba Naqvi should continue to be an incisive and often witty reporter that she is and leave satire to others.
