The small Indian will win the war

In spite of the stink of badmouthing in the public domain and all the wrongdoers around assaulting an octogenarian fighting against the corrupt, India is not a land of the hopeless. Everywhere I go, I find sparks of progress even among the poorest of the poor. The cobbler, the labourer, the rickshaw puller and the small shop owner. A pandit in Pehova and a farmer in Bijnor. They take loans, curse the administration or the politician, struggle to send their children to the best possible schools they can afford and see them qualifying in IITs, PCS, IAS or becoming pilots. There are pavment dwellers, who have spent their lives eating a chapatti with onion chutney, and never had the privilege of getting a reasonable medical treatment, but they are not out. They are found fighting a battle many of the affluent would have lost after the first step.

Indian response to Chinese arrogance inadequate

Tarun Vijay

Commenting on the Chinese refusal to receive Lt. Gen. B.S.Jaswal, Shri Tarun Vijay, national spokesperson of the BJP and MP (Rajya Sabha) said the response of the Indian Government should have been more stringent and adequate. He said an abrasive attitude towards Indian sensitivities and helping India’s enemies has become a hall mark of China’s India policy while carrying on trade and commerce activities which are heavily in its favour.

Tell US to end romance with Pak: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would like the Government to tell the United States during their upcoming strategic dialogue to end its romance with Pakistan and cooperate with India to defeat Islamist terrorism, says party spokesperson Tarun Vijay. That's the area Indian External Affairs Minister SM Krishna, who would be leading the June 3-4 dialogue with US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, should focus on, Tarun Vijay told IANS in a phone interview from New Jersey. "India has to fight terrorism on its own sinews," he said. "And it should tell America that if you don't cooperate with India on fighting terror, it will be a great loss to its own fight against terror." "At present America seems to be siding with the dictatorial army junta (in Pakistan) and is itself obsessed in its own fight against terrorism," Vijay said.

RSS chief's Pune speech again misinterpreted, wronged . Identify the mischief maker!

Shri Mohan Rao Bhagwat, Param Pujya Sarsanghchalak of the RSS never said the lines which have been attributed to him by certain news agencies (that he said ‘BJP a divided house’). He was at Pune today to participate in the 115th birth anniversary of a great social reformer Lahuji Ustad. I tried to know the facts late night from Pune and was told thathe said that, India stands as a divided house today on caste, parochialism and language lines.

Indus Saga

Abandoned

They were fiercely angry and threw the slaughtered cow’s head at the temple gate to underline the seriousness of their threat — no temple in this locality. The leader of the crowd that had gathered at Shah Alam immediately after the Jumma namaz shouted religious slogans and their leader Haji said there would be bloodshed if the temple relocation continued.

And the government decided to halt the temple construction.

No Jinnah for India

In the collective conscience of India, Mohammad Ali Jinnah is a hate figure like Mohammad Ghori, Mohammad Ghaznavi, Babar and Aurangzeb. Jinnah is disliked more because his actions are fresh in memory, and millions of victims of his hate campaign are still alive.

There have been many attempts to whitewash the crimes-rape, rapine, forced conversion, loot and pillage of temples and mass slaughter of Hindus by the invading Muslim marauders-by Marxist historians like Romila Thapar, RS Sharma and Irfan Habib but no historian worth the name in India dared paint Jinnah a paragon. Because it is an impossible, thankless task.

Why India needs the BJP

The ideology that the Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] represents and its pan Indian appeal makes it an important cog in our democracy, argues Tarun Vijay

In a nation where most of the political parties are known by the names of their 'owners' turning the political process into a kind of family fiefdom, the existence of a party that still runs on democratic norms and represents a completely different ethos, must be valued as a need of the society. That is the Bharatiya Janata Party. It is useless to indulge in the contemporary dichotomies and scuffles that mar its current framework.

These are trivialities and have been a part of every political party, including the Jan Sangh that saw much bitter scenes involving top guns even when that was hardly as strong as its new avatar the BJP has become.
