No Hindus should vote for congress as congress has in its election manifesto promised passing of communal violence bill. That will make Hindus second grade citizens. Burden of proving one self innocent will be on Hindus. Muslims can get you behind the Bar for any reason such as Not purchasing the goods from their shops etc.

RSS VHP should come out openly to make Hindus aware of communal violence bill sort of Anti Hindu law. Sonia should be booked for an anti Hindu conspiracy and her citizenship should be canceled.

Meanwhile......

AAP candidate Justice Fakhruddin against Sonia Gandhi withdraws candidature from Rae Bareli

So the question why dont ppl have the courage to contest against Mrs.Gandhi???

.....

Not just contesting against her , people are afraid to take her name. When the 'Sonia soliciting supporting from Shahi Imam' incident happened , and there was a debate on CNN - IBN on this, Rajdeep Sardesai was'nt even taking her name .He kept referring to " Congress Leaders seeking help from Imam" . I don't know but there is something about her that makes even opposition leaders shit in their pants and so you wont see any accusations against her personally.Ever.

Infact there is a major story brewing , one that no media or opposition party will have the guts to take up.I am actully beginning to wonder whether she even has an Indian passport.

Sonia Gandhi declines to show US court her passport

New York: Congress President Sonia Gandhi has declined to provide a copy of her passport to a US court, saying that government of India had denied her permission to do so. However, in a letter filed by her lawyer in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York, Gandhi "voluntarily" relinquished the plea of lack of personal jurisdiction "without prejudice to the plea of want of jurisdiction in relation to the subject matter."
Gandhi had filed a motion in the Brooklyn court seeking dismissal of a human rights violation case against her relating to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, asserting she had not been served the summons as she was not in the US between September 2 and September 9 last year.
But holding that Gandhi's January 10 declaration was insufficient to prove her absence from US, Judge Brian M Cogan had March 20 asked Gandhi to "provide a copy of her passport, showing her most recent entry and exit stamps into and out of the United States."

Sonia Gandhi has said that government of India had denied her permission to do so.
"In matters of disclosure of my travels, which are contained in the passport document, the Government of India has informed me that they would not permit such a disclosure," Gandhi wrote in a letter to her lawyer Ravi Batra. "However, as I have nothing to hide, I voluntarily relinquish the plea of lack of personal jurisdiction."
"I may add that the present submission is without prejudice to the plea of want of jurisdiction in relation to the subject matter," she wrote.
The Brooklyn court had in Sep 2013 issued summons against Gandhi on a complaint filed by Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) and some victims of the 1984 violence.
Since Gandhi has conceded the court's personal jurisdiction by withdrawing objection to service of summons, the court will move to subject matter jurisdiction to hear the charges of shielding and protecting those responsible for 1984 anti-Sikh riots, SFJ Legal advisor Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said.
The case against Gandhi hinged on the issue whether she was served on Sep 9 as claimed by SFJ or she was not present in the US during that time as asserted by her.
SFJ claims that on Sep 9, it had served the summons and complaint on the hospital and security staff at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York where Sonia Gandhi was believed to be undergoing medical treatment.

People as a collective in TN decided not to take on Hindi. It was their right and that should end the matter.

I am not asking any Tamil to learn Hindi. I was pointing to peculiar situation where Hindi is not even an optional.

Even if Hindi is an optional, it could still attract Zero takers.


My opposition to @DRAY is that he is accusing people who participated in that thread of being chauvinists who want to impose Hindi while the OP and subsequent debates does not portend to that.

Both You and him seem to have weak grasp over the concept of optional.Presence of an option does not mean someone is forced to do something.

They wont make a provision for something that has no takers.

It is a question of principles and racial bias of periyar freaks. Even if Hindi is an optional, it would be taught only if there is demand.

By not having Hindi as optional, TN board ensures that even if ALL students of some school wants to study Hindi, they won't be able to do so.

Actually Hindus lacks the guts to protect their interest in spite of being in Majority. We shoul learn from Jews how to protect our community. We should become lions like Jews.

In second world war times, Jews used to go to Gas Chambers like pet lambs. Within next one decade they emerged as the lions and show their Guts to fight whole Muslim world alone. In India all political parties are dancing on the chest of hindus on the name of secularism.

To tell you the truth Hindi should never be India's national language. People basically cannot even define properly the difference between Hindi and Urdu and very little of Hindu culture is associated with Hindi.

Hindi is not a national language and i am against it's declaration as such, even though on a different ground.

As i said earlier, it is matter of principles. Periyar freaks in TN have a strong racial bias against North Indians and hate Brahmins, whether Northern or Southern.

That was a past view and it is gone except in some pockets. Much of it was reciprocal bias to North's racism against South. Never heard of idli, vada, sambhar, dosa used as slurs? Lungi-pungi? Kala madrassi? Anda-gunda thanda pani?

Seeing how strong Hindu feelings are right now in TN, anti-Brahminism is a thing of the past.

There are many cases where Gandhis can be bought to Justice. Particularly corruption cases. investigate Rajiv's role in anti shikh riots. Withdraw his Bharat ratna. Change the name of all the schemes and institutes on the name of Rajiv. Investigate Sonia for her huge money stock pile outside India. Investigate Viston George (Her PA). Investigate mother son duo for Herald house property deal, False election declarations etc. Finish them off politically along with other corrupt congress leaders.

Mamata won`t abide by transfer order, dares EC to take action

Election Commission warns defiant Mamata: May cancel Lok Sabha polls in West Bengal | The Indian Express

@DRAY is this the balance that you were talking about that regional parties bring to democracy ?
Infact such a balance in our democracy that WB now may not even have Lok Sabha elections is a wonderful thing right?

After all according to you "But regional parties are going to stay in India and continue to remain a major factor in Indian politics.And it is good in a way, as it prevents the tendency of imposing the majority rule over minorities, including ethnic minorities". And you were actually contemplating on voting for these regional parties.

The red part is a hard reality, and the blue part is a realization. I am not a fan of Mamata, neither I like that party, but these parties are instrumental in preventing bigotry in my state.

Modi seizes control of the political discourse

From noting that the Seven Sisters have long been eight to asserting that India is the natural refuge of Hindus in distress, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate has treaded into areas where few leaders today dare to go

As parts of Tripura and Assam kicked off the lengthy voting process in one of the most keenly contested parliamentary elections, this will possibly be the first time that the North-East is not perceived as marginal to Indian democracy. Mr Narendra Modi can legitimately claim credit as the first prominent leader to give these States a sense of belonging to the civilisational matrix of India, the first to note that the Seven Sisters have long been eight, Ashtha Lakshmi as he calls them.

This is not mere quibbling over numbers, but a display of sensitivity towards a region that has experienced callous neglect at the hands of successive regimes at the Centre, so that its huge potential remains untapped, its territory encroached by neighbours and swamped by demographic invasions, all of which have given the people a sense of siege.

The feeling of being lesser citizens has been aggravated by incidents of harassment of youth from the region studying in Delhi, molestation of young girls, and the gruesome beating to death of a youth, ostensibly over his looks! In several meetings, Mr Modi has expressed sorrow over the incidents and emphasised their equal citizenship of India, even as Congress-UPA leaders maintain stony silence despite the incidents having taken place under their nose.

Mr Modi has taken the nationality issue further by being the first important leader to promise to redress the lack of citizenship rights for those who fled Azad Kashmir after the 1947 invasion, and those who arrived later from West Pakistan during the 1965 and 1971 wars. These families have been languishing in neglect for decades in camps in Srinagar. He has reiterated that the exiled Pandit community must get justice.

This ability to address the core of an issue without getting embroiled in community affiliations or biases has enabled Mr Modi to frame the terms of debate in this election, putting his rivals on the defensive! The Congress especially has been at a loss to match his powerful oratory and rebut his myriad charges and challenges on the agrarian crisis and farmer suicides, decline of manufacturing and employment opportunities, economic stagnation, price rise and inflation, lack of opportunities for education and skill development, and above all, the better performance of non-Congress Governments, mainly those led by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Having seized the intellectual high ground, Mr Modi has deftly de-fanged the warped (anti-Hindu) definition of secularism in India that has hitherto been wielded as a weapon to demonise and disarm the BJP, and Hindus in general. He has done this by adroitly lampooning the word, equating it with a mask behind which the ruling Congress, its allies and friendly parties hide their multiple failures on issues of critical importance to the people, viz, water for farming, employment and opportunities for youth, alleviation of poverty, the physical safety of women and girls, et al. The bogey of ‘secularism first’ or ‘secularism in danger’ is raised by non-BJP parties to dodge accountability for their sins of omission and commission whenever they are in the dock, he has charged in rally after rally, leaving them fuming in impotent rage.

To the Congress’s consternation, Mr Modi has repeatedly raised the issue of Bangladeshi immigrants in Assam, who are ‘stealing’ (cornering) the resources and employment opportunities that rightfully belong to Indian youth. He has boldly condemned the State Government’s policy of interning Hindu youth in detention camps on grounds that they are not bona fide citizens, as part of vote bank politics, while refusing to seriously identify and deport illegal immigrants. He has clearly asserted that India is, and must be, the natural refuge of Hindus in distress in any part of the world; no politician has ever made such a public assertion.

But Mr Modi has conducted his marathon campaign as a parallel chargesheet against the ruling Congress, accusing UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi of functioning as a puppet master and her National Advisory Council of being an extra-constitutional body with no accountability. In this spirit, he robustly attacked the Prevention of Communal Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill, 2013, a brainchild of the NAC, for poaching on matters on the State List, violating the federal structure of the Constitution, and being motivated by vote bank politics. He has pointedly attacked the Muslim-centric Sachar Committee, a brainchild of the Congress president, and denounced the attempt to force a communal census on the Armed Forces, which was mercifully resisted.

It is obvious that Mr Modi is an unconventional politician who evades straitjackets. At Patna on October 27, 2013, when bombs exploded in the penumbra of his Hunkar Rally (six unexploded bombs were later found at the venue; one beneath the podium), he displayed sterling qualities, issuing an appeal to Hindus and Muslims to unite against divisions fostered by failed leaders and fight the common enemy of poverty. On another occasion, he berated Mr Rahul Gandhi for claiming that after the Muzaffarnagar riots Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence contacted Muslim youth in the relief camps and told him to either prove his allegation or apologise for the “communal slur”.

A quintessential heritage politician, Mr Gandhi has not been able to counter Mr Modi’s barbs on issues such as party nominations to tainted leaders (Pawan Bansal, Ashok Chavan); alliances with convicted leaders (Lalu Prasad); changing the party candidate for Vadodara; the entrepreneurial skills of Mr Robert Vadra, et al. Nor has he contributed a single idea to the national discourse.

Now, as voting begins in the multi-phase polls, a question agitating the minds of citizens is whether political parties enjoy a level playing field. In November 2013, when there was no model code of conduct, Mr Modi mentioned a “khooni panja” in the context of the genocide of Sikhs in 1984. The Election Commission chided him for remarks “injurious to the cause of decorous political discourse”. Yet, with the model code operational, even suo motu notice was not taken of Ms Gandhi’s appeal to the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid that Muslim (communal) votes should not be divided. The Imam later accepted the appeal and endorsed the Congress.

Since then, a sting on Ayodhya having elicited yawns, attempts are being made to target Mr Modi through his principal lieutenant, Mr Amit Shah. Asking people to avenge grievances through the ballot, rather than with bullets, is unexceptionable. Yet a cacophony has been raised and a report sought; this is unfortunate.
