The fault lies within us

“The fault, Dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but within ourselves”

- Cassius in Julius Caesar.

As millions of fellow Hindus feeling the pain of being under siege in their own land, I cherished a dream of reclaiming the lost glory, of bringing back the days when Bharatvarsh meant everything from whats Myanmar now to the beginning of Central Asia. It might seem like a pipe dream, but it is by no ways ridiculous. Knowing that our glory is more than a millennia past us, it’s not a weird thought to dream about a resurgence, a regeneration. For a long long time, I had a place in my heart for political outfits who claimed to stand for this cause of making us great again, to undo the wrongs done to us for the last eight centuries and more, which continue still, unabated. Reading the history which glorified the barbarians and demeaned the protectors of this country, sometimes even demonizing or negating them, filled me with great rage (it still does). The chronicles of massacres of unarmed Hindu men women and children throughout the medieval ages saddened me to no extent. Somewhere, someplace, the desire to set this right is in all of us. Idealism seems the most beautiful thing as a child and as a teen, its only when reality sets in that you realise of your naiveté.

I’m now left feeling that I was expecting rusty iron to become platinum.

Its such a misconception today amongst all the people that jehadis are suicidal. What I have learnt and seen so far is that if there is anyone who can be called as suicidal, it’s the Hindu. And he proves it countless of times, time and again. He also proves that he does not need Islam, Christianity or Communism to eliminate him. These three are merely vultures, waiting gleefully for this morbid and suicidal imbecile to torture himself to death. They have already begun feeding on him because they have realized that its not much of a difference in this zombie being alive or dead.

All that anguish at the sight of fellow Hindus suffering, of our culture and identity being slowly and steadily eroded away is useless because it is futile to feel any compassion and pain for a dead and myopic people who are sworn to their own destruction.

Who is responsible for it? The foreign hordes and their ideology?

True, we have been under attack since the last 2500 years, the damages of which have been devastating. Greeks, Huns, Pathians, Scythians and Bactro-greeks racially altered vast parts of the Indian populace by becoming part of it when conquest was impossible. A millennium and a half later, Islam made a bloody entry into India, permanently altering the ideological belief of a fifth of the population over the same period of time, turning them against their very land, the results of which are all for us to see. Its more sophisticated counterpart, Christianity followed a thousand years later with an equally bloody modus operandi. It did not make its converts agnostic, but made them self loathing of their ancestors.

But they did not create this situation. They merely exploited it.

The rot had set in a long time before the invasions.

Since time immemorial, we have the habit of mutilating a tradition and carrying it forward in the mutilated manner till the original is forgotten in the time. The caste system (Varna Vyavastha as it is was originally known) was conceived as a system of division of labour. How conveniently it was mutilated into a division of class so that it was to be used as a system of oppression for the benefit of a few, so that knowledge remained limited to them and that they keep on enjoying their privileged status perpetually. How much this has hurt us need not be told. Thousands converted forcefully to Islam and Christianity were denied re-entry into the dharma by the priestly class. The poor souls had no other option but to remain in their forced religion. Over the period of time, their successors became more fanatic muslims and did more to spread Islam in the subcontinent than the original adherents. It was the converts who made Islam what it is today, an expansionist force which cannot tolerate anything standing in its path.

Who took Alauddin Khilji’s conquest to the south of India? Malik Kafur, a converted eunuch.

Who islamized East Bengal? Murshid Quli Khan, a converted Tamil Brahmin.

Who defiled the glory of Kalinga? Kalaghoda, a convert.

Who wiped out the very traces of Hinduism in Kashmir? Sikandar , a fourth generation convert.

Fifty percent of the world’s Muslim populace is found in the Indian subcontinent today. Had the whims and fancies of a few Brahmins been ignored and had the initial converts been accepted back into Dharma, not just India, but the world would have been a better place. But no use crying over spilt milk now.

Earlier caste system was a trump card for the higher castes. Now it is a trump card for the lower castes. In fact today, it is far more beneficial to them. By keeping the tradition of giving sub human treatment to lowest of castes, we laid the foundation of our downfall. Today, thanks to the constitution, its them who are the bosses of the so called higher castes.

Over the passing centuries, Hindus developed a false sense of pride, that they are so superior , that they need not know what is going on outside their borders. So what if the foreign civilizations are progressing? Surely they cannot surpass our greatness. Al Beruni, the chronicler who accompanied Mahmud during most of his 17 invasions of north India, mentioned “I have never seen such superiority complex anywhere else. These fools think that the world begins and ends with them. They do not care to look beyond themselves to see where the rest of the world has gone”. Is it any surprise that this superiority complex affected populace was caught napping? Agreed that we fought Islam in the most heroic manner, but the damage was already done.

Benefit of the minority at the cost of majority. Is this an invention of the Congress (I) ? Definitely not.

That too was a classic Hindu trait. The new ideologies of Buddhism and Jainism received all the support from kings. Every kingdom went out of its way to shower Buddhist and Jain monks with wealth. This despite the fact that the Buddhists had supported Huns and Greeks during their various campaigns in India only because a few of their chieftans converted to Buddhism. The Ashokan era (which the seculars call as golden age of India, no prizes for guessing why) saw almost half of the states revenue going for the upkeep of Buddhist monasteries and monks, at the cost of the hard working populace and disbanding of the military. The working populace lived in poverty and frustration, soldiers were forced to doing menial jobs as a result of disbanding of the army while these overfed and lazy monks lived a life of luxury. Vedic tradition was in the danger of being extinct. Brahmins immolated themselves in large numbers to protest against this but no avail.33 years of Ashoka’s rule saw the deadening of the martial spirit of all north and central India. India became an open ground for Greeks, Scythians, Huns and Parthians to attack. It took a general in the once great army, Pushyamitra Shunga, to kill the last weak Mauryan ruler, to set things right. Pushyamitra then started eradicating the cause of the misery, and his successors followed suit. In Bengal too the Pala rulers followed a similar strategy. Is there any wonder that the secular historians have painted Ashoka as a hero and Pushyamitra as a villain?

One thousand years later, when the marauders of Islam entered Afghanistan after flattening everything in Central Asia, the Buddhists decided to have a similar approach to them as they had with the Greeks and the Huns a millennia ago. And they were promptly massacred for opening their doors to the monsters hoping that they would tame them. The same happened in what is Pakistan today. The Buddhist majority tried to convert and align with the Muslims and were promptly cut down. The land was awash in Buddhist blood. Butshikan is an Arabic word for iconoclast, someone who breaks idols. The word But is derived from Buddha. Judging by this, one can only imagine the humongous bloodbath of Buddhists by the Muslims and the thousands and thousands of Buddha idols broken by them. Hindus fought valiantly and held the attacker at bay. It took just one century for Islam to sweep the entire Central Asia and Afghanistan, but it took them seven hundred years to go from Peshawar to Delhi. The brain dead proponents of “thousand years slavery” never reveal this. All this happened only because Buddhism had spread to titanic proportions, killing the martial spirit among the Hindus due to its influences. At its zenith, it was followed by more than one third of the population residing in India.(Jainism, which was even more non violent in nature, thankfully never spread beyond the merchant guilds.) India became a killing field for Islam only because of the overwhelming majority of Buddhists in the region of what is called Afghanistan and Pakistan today, except Sindh where Hindus were the majority. It was the Buddhist who was cut down like a defenceless blade of grass whenever he was found. Hindus fought valiantly. There are still forty million Hindus in Sindh province in Pakistan despite of a thousand years of genocide. This alone is the proof. Had there been even one Hindu for every two Buddhists in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam would never had come to the subcontinent.

But then what attracted such a vast populace to Buddhism? Spiritualism? Philosophy? No. It was the temptation of freeloading, of living a great life at the expense of others. That is what drew people to become monks The promise of having a great life at the cost of others. And it was an easy way out. That still continues amongst us today. Freeloading, self deception, self denial, escapism and pretending that the problem does not exist instead of combating it.

Our readymade answer to our sorry state is “So what? Our culture, our civilization is much more ancient and superior to the west. We always will be ethically and morally stronger”. I have one question for these wise (?) men:-

Why would we only have the privilege of having traitors? Why are traitors and petty minded people born only amongst us? Why aren’t any traitors or petty minded people or corrupt people born in the immoral western society? Can anyone remember any official of the East India company defecting to the Mughals or the Marathas for his own selfish interests? Can anyone remember any British Civil servant during the Raj embezzling funds that were meant for the Queen’s treasury? Can we ever find any example of anyone in middle ages of an English official selling his country’s secrets to the French crown and vice versa? The most corrupt Senators and Congressmen in USA too will do nothing which will undermine America’s security, however decadent and greedy they may be.

Why is it that its only us greats that produce traitors? And not one or two but in thousands. Traitors are only cultivated in a special type of environment. Traitors and corrupt tendencies are never born in a place where the common man understands that his benefit is not different from that of his society and country. And we have not been able to create such a kind of culture is what is the bitter truth. Glancing through our history reveals time and again that all the great sons of India who fought for us have been defeated by their own petty minded compatriots than the enemies. Muslims never ruled India. They caused unprecedented damage, but it was beyond them to conquer India even with the aid of the biggest war machine at that time. Thousands of mercenaries coming each year to India for replenishing the dead of the marauding muslim armies is more than enough proof of it. The Muslim monarchs were only titular rulers, and the main work of consolidating their empire was done by Hindu kings themselves who happily became their vassals to take revenge against their regional rivals. Does it need to be mentioned here what disastrous effects this had?

Muhammad Ghori would never had won against Prithviraj Chauhan without Jaychand. Akbar would never had gained the upper hand over Rana Pratap without all the Mansinghs aiding him. Sambhaji would never have been captured by Aurangzeb and brutally tortured to death had people like Ganoji Shirke and various others would not have aided him. The British too took full advantage of this, and all the revolutionaries were captured and executed only because they were betrayed by traitors.

Its such a fashion among all Hindutvavadis to condemn the Turks, Mughals and British for being cowardly and winning by attacking our weaknesses and taking advantage of petty minded people amongst us by luring them away with all sorts of temptations. This is an absolute idiocy. They are our enemies. And they have and are and they will harm us. And they have done it very very successfully. The terror machines of Islam and Christianity are doing their job perfectly well, the Jehadi who uses all measures from war to taqqiya to overcome the infidel; the Missionary who is carrying out his respective church’s ,Catholic, Evangelical or Baptist, to the fullest of giving the Bible to gullible fools and take away their land in return. They are doing perfectly what their faith is demanding from them.

The question is, what are we doing to protect ourselves? Are we doing even remotely what our faith demands from us?

Today the situation is no different. We are unable to produce a single person of integrity to occupy public office, may it be of any level. There is not a single institution in our country that we can look upto without any doubt in our minds. That itself is enough to highlight our failure as a people.

How long are we going to live in self deception of calling ourselves “ethically and morally superior”, and degrading the west by calling it decadent? Do decadent cultures bring corruption into the smallest nooks and corners of their societies? Do decadent people feed their own children with adultrated milk ? Do decadent people loot their society and country?

And what ethically and morally superior culture are we talking about? Do we even remember what it is?

Its unthinkable to find a Christian who hasn’t read the Bible. Even a Muslim rickshaw driver knows his ayats and suras by heart. But only the rarest of the rare Hindu has even opened the Bhagwad Geeta.

As usual, are we going to find faults in everyone else except us and say that its Macaulay and Maxmueller who have done this damage? Who went eagerly to them to become a brown Englishman? Who threw away all his traditions and values and swallowed eagerly whatever was fed to him? Who became secular willingly? And joined his tormentors in condemning his own heritage? Who made the theatre and cinema halls his new temples?

The Hindu .

Who has become a traitor, an appeaser, a coward, a spineless blob of jelly who can only condone his enemies and appease them, frequently ganging up with them against his own people for some short term gains?

The Hindu.

The only English translation of the Vedas is by foreign scholars. Am I to accept an idiotic excuse that vedic scholars in India are not upto it? The wealth of all the major temples in India is managed by the secular government which conveniently directs this money for popular schemes and diverts it to madrassas and missionaries. This can never happen without the active participation of Hindus.

A culture is destroyed not by the forces that attack it, but by the decay that sets within.

“We learn from history that we never learn from history”. This applies to none other than us.

Let us analyse in short the reasons given by knowledgeable (?) Hindus whenever confronted with questions about their existence

“We have prevailed for thousands of years through all adversity, and we will still prevail, going by our glorious history”.

So it’s a belief amongst our scholars (?) that just because we have been saved till now by heroic battles means that we can be saved henceforth just by looking back at these incidents. A prime example of the pompous pride that we have sunk into. One only needs to look at the Zoroastrians (Parsees). One of the most ancient civilizations, one of the most formidable in the entire world in times of Xerxes and Darius. Today they are only a shadow of their past glory. Agreed that they have contributed immensely to India’s glory, that they are a minority every country will love to have, but at the end of the day if one doesn’t have the required numbers to ensure the continuity of ones way of life, all the glories and achievements come to a nought. Today this glorious community is not even classified as a religion, their numbers are so low. Their subsequent extinction in the coming two or three centuries is a bitterly true fact.

Why should we be an exception to this? Just because we have survived till now dos not mean that we are going to live forever. I’m sick of the so called scholars who act as if we are going to live forever. If a single titanic catastrophe (natural or extraterrestrial that still is the debate) can wipe out the very signs of dinosaurs that had dominated this earth for 150000000 years, the wiping out of the thousands of years old most glorious civilization of the homo sapiens is merely child’s play in comparison.

So, if we erstwhile glorious people want ourselves to be past tense, our entire existence being limited to museum artefacts like that of the Babylonian, Sumerian, Assyrian and Mesopotamian civilizations, we are going the right way.

“Our heritage and culture is timeless. We are intellectually superior to these Semitic religions. We will always have an ideological edge over them”.

To this I have one question “What good is your superiority if you don’t have any head left??? “The pen is mightier than the sword” is only good as a metaphor. Try fighting with a pen with someone who has a sword. Wars cannot be fought on heads alone. Ideas make plans, they don’t make war.

“Hindus have always been non violent”.

This is a classic argument by secular mental retards whose heads and posteriors are interchangeable.

If Hindus had non violent, would there be a single Hindu in the world today? Hindus single handedly fought the biggest war machine in medieval times. Since time immemorial, Hindus have been the most fiercest and ethical warriors. The fact that eighty percent of divided India are Hindus is more than a proof of the fact. The very fact that I’m a Hindu today is because some Hindu fought, killed and died for me. The Islamic war machine that flattened everything in its path was stopped for six centuries by the Hindus. East India Company was kept out Indian waters single handedly by only one family. These liberal morons probably think that the Marathas were spinning charkhas for fifty years in their fight against the Mughals.

The fact is that today Hindus have no stomach to fight the threats that stare them in the face. They have become the wimps who are looking for soft targets. They have no desire to fight the problems facing them, so they sidetrack the real dangers, and attack the smaller rivals who are inconsequential and who cannot fight back. They have become seculars and liberals only because cowardice and self denial has become a virtue and a way of life for them. All the anti hindu forces are comprised of Hindus themselves. We have exactly become the cowards that our beloved Bapu and Chacha wanted us to be.

All that the Hindu organizations do is lament the fact that how Christian and Islamic institutions are never losing a single opportunity to attack Hindus. They should instead look within and ask themselves,

Why cant a single Hindu organization gear up to combat them?

Why cant a single Hindu organization answer effectively at the various accusations being heaped on them?

Why cant a single Hindu organization come up with an agenda to stop religious conversions?

Why cant a single Hindu organization adapt itself to modern times, make themselves relevant for the youth, introducing to them the heritage that has been forgotten?

All that they do in the name of saving religion is talk about banning cow slaughter (conveniently forgetting that they themselves wear leather belts and leather shoes). Their second rung leadership is full of rustic idiots who cannot speak one legible sentence nor have any relevant knowledge about the religion or the world around them. That is why jokers like Zakir Naik can call themselves scholars on Hinduism while these morons circulate pictures of Reese Witherspoon as that of a young Sonia Gandhi. No wonder the seculars are laughing all the way.All they can do in the name of being aggressive is burn Valentines day cards and slap young couples in parks. Some of these eunuchs (in my humble opinion, real men never hit women) get the wrong feeling of being men by storming into pubs and beating up women. Where do these mongrels go when temples are desecrated and Hindus killed in riots?

One of these cow piss drinkers had written somehwhere “The most painful sight for a Hindu is to see a cow being slaughtered”. Someone tell the retard that most painful sight for a Hindu is to see himself and his culture being persecuted in his own land. If these organizations cannot prevent it, they should drown themselves. Just giving empty slogans like”Hindu jagega, Vishwa jagega” is mere tokenism.

And then these same morons lament about the cunningness of the enemies.

Hindus today should be ashamed of themselves. If not their history, then atleast others history should inspire them. The children of Israel have been persecuted and driven out since time immemorial. Nineteen centuries of Christian love and fourteen centuries of Islamic love has threatened them with extinction constantly. But today they stand with their heads held high, and they have earned their respect.

These proud people finally fought and wrestled their land from the people who were sworn to their destruction. Two thousand years of wilderness and various pogroms and a holocaust was an inspiration enough. Israel is hardly as big as a small district in India, its population being equal to an average Indian city. An Israeli is outnumbered by his enemies by one to one hundred. But it does not deter him, because he remembers the following:-

“What the world says about us is not important. The only important thing for us is that we should be able to live with dignity in the land of our forefathers”- David Ben Gurion.

But a hypocrite, morbid, cowardly race who have by hearted Gandhian pious platitudes and Nehruvian cowardly lies can never live by the above statement. And these imbeciles dream of being a world superpower.

There is no use wasting time on crying about the Islamization and De-Hinduization of India. It has been done long ago, and done effectively by Hindus themselves in sixty years , the very task that could not be done by Islam and Christianity in more than ten centuries.

There is no use harping about past glories, and praising the religion if one cannot live by it. Nine Hundred Million Hindus are insignificant in their own land, the rest scattered like dust around the globe. On the other hand , twenty six million Jews are a fearsome force to reckon with.

What are we proud of then?

And when are we going to start living instead of merely existing?

We are Beautiful...

Arent we beautiful?

We have been taught from childhood that we should be proud of our great culture and heritage. That Indias greatness lies in never invading anyone else. That tolerance is the greatest virtue that we have, and we must abide by it no matter what.

In short, a Hindu grows up learning about everything that paints his religion as a docile, non violent doctrine. All he learns in the name of religion is going to the temple or sing some half concocted hymn in respective regional languages in front of idols. He is influenced from the very beginning to idolize spiritually “holy” men of learning (?) who wrote paeans of god praise all their life smoking away marijuana, his political idols being the persons who dedicated their lives to clearing away the very signs of aggressiveness in his mind. In the name of history, all he reads is the chronicles of foreign invaders being painted as true heroes. In the name of fraternity, he is imbibed with the motto that his brotherhood starts and ends with his caste and at the most the speakers of his regional language.

It is always inculcated in him that vast talk and spiritual discussions is all that is needed to make him a true titan.

And we all wonder what makes a Hindu such an insignificant thing in the world today.

It seems that it starts straight from home.

This is the true sad story of a once great people. They are divided into three categories today:-

One are the Seculars, the grandiose result of experiments started in the cottage industry of Macaulay & Co. They surely laid a great foundation, to make pseudo Englishmen out of us. And it is us, who willingly and conveniently became a part of these systems. The beautiful organization called Indian National Congress was started with the aim of keeping these brown Englishmen in mind, to promote them to lead the masses, so that independence remains a distant dream. This experiment was so successful that it still continues in independent India. These seculars abhor anything which can link them to their religion , denigrate everything that is Hindu or even have a trace of it. Communists have preyed on these retards, and it is because of them that communism still thrives in India, its adherents protected as some endangered species. These morons have the Stockholm syndrome in their DNA, and cannot praise enough the tolerance of Islam and the scientific temperament of the Christians and the business acumen of the Communists and at the same time condemning the futility of being a Hindu. These people are found in various types, from the traitor to the brainless liberal to the politician and the civil servant who take pains in ensuring that India remains the only place where 20% rule the 80%

It needs to be remembered that seculars are found only among Hindus. No other religion has allowed them to survive.

Second is the Hindu who likes to call himself a Hindu. On paper this person looks every bit a virtuous citizen that any country can desire. But reality bites they say. This camp itself has many divisions. There are firebrand Hindutvavadis who adhere to what is right and hence are sidelined. There are the pure ritualists, for whom religion is nothing but worshipping and fasting. This lot can give the seculars a run for their money where cowardice and hypocrisy is concerned. Then there are the half literate fellows who know nothing, they only take the limited knowledge they can fathom and shut themselves in it, their service of the religion limited to burning valentines day decorations and being a pillion rider holding a saffron flag.

The third is a purely opportunist kind. He can adapt himself to any situation. Can call himself a Hindu when the wave is going that way, or a secular or a centrist when the tide is going that way. He merely milks the religious cow for his own benefit. Religion is only a matter of convenience to him, ideology a pair of goggles that are to be worn when the heat is on and kept in the pocket when the weather is fair.

He merely toys with ideology, plays with his core voter’s emotions, uses him to get to power and once there, reverts to the very antics of his predecessor , and when he loses, feigns ignorance as to why he was voted out.

Saffron organizations. They seem very impressive from a distance, but as you near them they are reveled to be a part of the problem, and not its solution. They have completely lost their touch with the modern world and think that big talk and big camps are alone going to make them a major force. The leadership comprises of old men who are excellent in heaping abuses at the seculars and jehadi-missionary combine. But their effectiveness stops right there.

All these organizations do is lament the activites of the secular-missionary-jehadi combine which is wreaking havoc. Why are they being angry at your enemies for working towards your destruction? They are enemies, and it is their duty to harm you. And they are doing it very efficienty. You lack brains and commitment and hence you are losing.

Their cadre too therefore can never rise above the semi literate and limited brained louts at the ground level who are only good at taking out rallies crying in hoarse voices or being saffron flag holding pillion riders in bike rallies. Their valor lies in storming the public parks and beating up young couples, storming pubs and beating up boozing women, burning valentines day cards and other innumerable ridiculous and idiotic activities.

Where are these testosterone pumped baboons when there are sporadic riots in which Hindus are killed and their property is damaged? Or when some Imam of a big Mosque calls the faithful to bring back the days of the “800 year rule”? Why cant they storm madrassas and beat up the budding jehadis there with the same enthusiasm as they use against women in pubs? Why cant some of their slaps be directed at the various imams and missionaries who leave no opportunity in defaming the Dharma?

We cant blame these imbeciles. The organizations which have moulded them are all talk and no substance.

All their camps and rallies cannot bring a solution for uniting the Hindu to reclaim his land.

They still cant have a solution of overriding the divisons in Hindus which exist in form of castes and regional languages.

They still have no concrete plan on how to stop forcible religious conversions.

There is no effort to be relevant to today’s youth nor any effort in improving their intellectual capacity.

And there is no willingness even to address them.

In 2003, three dalits were lynched in a village in Jhajjhar (Haryana) by an angry mob. Their crime? They were caught stripping and skinning a cow carcass. There was a big hue and cry, and the story was on all newspapers and news channels for more than a week. No Hindu organization condemned the killing of a fellow hindu. What followed as a consequence was reported by only in a small paragraph in one or two newspapers. The families of all the three dalits converted to Islam, vocally confirming that they were too happy to be liberated for such a religion.

Fast forward to 2010

Bareily, UP where Muslim mobs wreaked havoc as they were offended with Hindus playing Holi during an Islamic religious procession. The looting and burning of Hindu properties went on for two days before action was taken.

Miraj, Maharashtra. A Muslim mob wrecked havoc in the city after a hoarding depicting the slaying of Afzal Khan by Shivaji was put up in an election rally. Scores of policemen were injured and Ganesh idols were desecrated. The violence soon spread out to hit the general public as well. As usual, action arrived too little too late.

In both the above cases, no voices of dissent were heard from any Hindu organizations or political outfits or the public in general. A cow’s carcass is worth three lives and their three families, but the desecration of idols, the insult of a national icon and economic and physical damage to the Hindus is worth nothing.

And we wonder why people are not passionate about the dharma.

Lets look at the erstwhile Hindu party which used to call itself a party with a difference.

It was very vocal about the pseudosecular corrupt forces wreaking havoc in the country. About how the system in India was corrupt to the core, how national security was being compromised because of minority appeasement.

They fought for mainly three issues, thereby giving themselves a credibility of being a modern democratic party:-

  1. Uniform Civil Code
  2. Abolishing Article 370
  3. Building a Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

During its six years at helm, it did not even touch the subject of Uniform civil code and abolishment of Article 370. Not once in those six years was even a motion tabled in the parliament. The Ram mandir issue too was conveniently sidelined.

Instead, Haj subsidy was increased. New love for Pakistan was found, completely allowing the guard to slip, which culminated in a fifty day war claiming more than a thousand lives of our armymen. If this was not enough, a few months a hijacked Indian Airlines plane was allowed to fly from Amritsar after refueling to Kandahar, where eventually it had to be freed after releasing a dreaded terrorist who now has been the mastermind of many subsequent attacks on Indian soil. A couple of years later, Bangladesh was not even threatened for killing sixteen BSF soldiers in cold blood. A certain gentleman, called “Iron Man” by his followers, was the home minister during the regime of that govt. This magnificent lion of a man had one brilliant answer to Pakistan sponsored terrorism against India; after each attack, this brave leader used to plead to the United States of America to declare Pakistan a terrorist state. And that was all. Scores of women and children riddled with bullets in Akshardham temple too didn’t make him consider another course of action. Maybe this was his idea of ideological integrity. We are indeed fortunate to be graced with his presence even now when he graciously apologises to the president of the ruling party for doubting that she might have accounts in foreign banks.

The head of the govt of this party was a dreamy poet who was in a divine quest to become the messenger of peace. So what if he forgot a few realities.

This grand party then decided to form coalitions with lots of eminent regional parties, including the party symbolized by a white elephant and a party which is exactly not known for its allegiance to India.

They also showed the generosity of letting their not so capable allies of taking credit for the development that they had done.

They were then kicked out of power. All hell broke loose between them. What wrong had they done? They were the next best thing to divine honesty. Differences broke out.

Then they played a perfect opposition party by doing nothing but raising ruckus, doing walkouts and also by voting against a nuclear bill which they themselves would have approved had they been in power. One excellent development during this time was that they had their hands full of prime ministerial candidates.

Due to such great developments ,they lost, second time in a row.

Not surprising, as this once party with a difference is today a party with differences.

They have got what they deserved what they got. They deserted their core voter.

When the National Socialists came to power in Germany in 1933, Hitler revealed what he and six others had vowed-“There will never be any deviation from ideology, and that they will as long as they remain in existence, be the only power in Germany”. And it was till the last that none of the national socialists ever deviated from their ideology. Till the very end. Hate the Nazis with all your heart, but you have to admire this.

Moral corruption can be corrected. But once ideological corruption sets in, then there is no way back. The affected becomes like a blighted plant, which is useless while alive and unsightly when dead.

And that is what the whole lot of us have become. Ideologically corrupt. That’s the precise reason for abominations like “Muslim Rashtriya Manch” to be started by organizations like RSS. It is as ridiculous as the SS having a Jewish Wing. But then, we have a history of making the ridiculous possible.

But then, the Hindu has himself thrown away ideology from his life, in effect he is culturally useless today. He has become a funnily ridiculous creature.

He feels that he is deeply religious, but the reality is that he is a mere ritualist, he is like a moron who throws away the fruit and eats the peels instead. He teaches his children to pray daily, teaching them all kinds of hymns made in regional languages, but never exposes them to the Bhagwad Geeta or the sagas of the real heroes. He makes them ritualists like himself, and then takes pride in sending them to Convents and Govt run schools which do an excellent job of making him feel ashamed of his culture (which thanks to his shallow minded parents he finds limited to idol worship and mindless hymns). He grows up finding solace in foolish ideologies like Communism and finds Christianity and Islam as cool .Look around and you would find hundreds of urban Hindus who take pride in their ameicanized nicknames viz Andy (Anand), Sid (Siddharth) plus many other names like Daisy, Sally, Mike etc that these idiots are proud to call themselves. Or ultra secular art loving Hindus who blabber Inshallah and Subhan allah at the drop of a hat.We are so very proud to show off to everyone that we can speak English, however pathetic it may be. Strewing regional language with English vocabulary is seen as a sign of intelligence (when actually it is a sign of linguistic ineptitude). This attitude has percolated to the highest level. Can someone please name one country whose native language is not english (except India), whose leaders speak english in world forums and diplomatic summits ? Even a country like Bangladesh does not do it from the day of its inception, but it took more than fifty years after independence to have a PM who spoke in Hindi in the UN General Assembly. This is the kind of inferiority complex that we have . And it is frightening. All this evil starts in every middle class home in India, middle class Hindu homes. As a result no development has been made to upgrade the Indian languages with regards to today’s world.

Instead of looking for answers in ourselves, we have based the framework of our country on a corrupt copy of the Western system, without adapting it to the conditions here. Hence there is nothing Indian in the Constitution of India. Or Indian Polity. Or Indian Parliamentary Democracy.

The Jewish race kept its traditions alive, throughout two millenia of persecution. After Israel was achieved, Hebrew was made the official language of the new state. Today, it is very easy for any Jewish youngster to find his roots. For a Hindu youth, its only confusion.

Confusion because it still cant be made out by the average Hindu as to what is religion and what is ritual. In the name of religion, godmen are worshipped. Every day some new godman or miracle man crops up wearing saffron and white robes. And they find no dearth of followers, given our nature of gullibility. The morons who become their disciples think that these are men of religion. In reality, they are nothing representing religion. They only make their own cults. And they are most happy to become the agents of hiding the ill gotten wealth of politicians, businessmen and other tax evaders. Another remarkable figures worthy of worship include the tombs of fakirs who spent their entire pathetic lives on alms.

Godmen have existed since hundreds and thousands of years and survived on the following that they had. And if they really had any miraculous powers then this great land would never have suffered from pestilence of foreign invaders. There would be no disasters, nor any evil in the society ever if these godmen had powers. The fact is that we go to these godmen to hide our own weaknesses.Instead of following these bogus frauds, people don’t have the guts to set their own lives in order. Hence these tendencies thrive.

Similar is the brainless practice by the Hindus to venerate the fakirs and sufis, who infact were the ideological centres to encourage the islamization of India.

For us, godmen is a touchy issue, cow slaughter is a sensitive issue. Caste is a super sensitive issue.

But the survival of our way of life is not an issue. The security of our territory is not an issue. Our children’s future is not an issue.

Why are we blaming the politicians for selling the country? Are we ourselves any sensitive about it?

Do we vote for a candidate thinking about national interest, Hindu unity et al?

We merely vote for him on caste issues and the petty gains that are derived from it.

We cry about the barbarity of the Semitic faiths. Yes, the Muslims teach their children the Koran and the Hadith from the cradle. Yes, the Church teaches the Missionary to zealously bring the heathen to its fold.

But what are we teaching our children?

We consider it as a matter of pride when our son says that he cannot speak his regional language and Hindi properly and puts on a fake Yankee accent. In case of other religions, the sons make sure that their wife accepts their faith. The Hindu youth converts in case he marries a woman outside his religion. We are raising pussies instead of men.

How proudly our hearts swell when we see our little girls shaking their booty to third rate Bollywood songs. They grow up jiving to Bollywood music, idolize the Khans that dominate the screen.

And in case they run away with some Khan or Ansari, its nothing but a natural result of a hideous story that we have started. But we still keep wondering how women fall prey to love jihad.

Is it any injustice then that the other faiths are preying on these naïve people? Two millennia of mistakes are not enough to make us see the obvious. We continue staying in a fantasy world, without realizing that it is only us that keep on propagating idiotic concepts like “All religions are equal”, “God is the same”, “Sarv Dharm Samabhaav”.

Just find one Muslim or a Christian or a Sikh who says all religions are the same. There are none.

All these pious platitudes are but a cover of our tendency to avoid resistance and finding an easy way out.

That is why Gandhism and Congressi influence was adopted by us instead of Hindutva.

Who are the seculars that we hate today?

Who are the people who have made minority appeasement the norm and raison d ‘etre of this country?

Who are the biggest enemies of the Hindus ?

It’s the Hindus themselves.

And until this changes, nothing is going to change for the better.

A large and divided majority is no threat for a small but ruthlessly effective minority.

Things cannot get any worse now, that’s the only positive thing one can take from this. The only way to go is upward.

So its upto us, whether we want to start becoming real people, or remain beautiful people as we are right now.

What the Cricket crazy public are forgetting

India Invincible???

After playing test cricket for 77 years, India finally managed to become the number one test cricket playing team in the world in 2009 (among ten countries that play it). It has done well to hold on to this fragile title for more than a year now, and it needs to be seen how far it can take it. For the 78 years of being a test playing country, India’s record has been pretty dismal, it took 17 years to win its first test match. Its success has mainly comprised of not matches and series won, but that of individual brilliances. One can count India’s test cricket series wins on one’s fingers. Its track record overseas has been similar to that of Dev Anand’s films at the box office.

The current team that India has is certainly the best it has ever had, at least in the limited overs format. But it still is a far cry from a long lasting world beater. But the hysteria of the media has us believe that this is going to last forever. And that India is going to be the team that will replace the erstwhile Australia and West Indies units.

Lets face it. Looking at the talent that exists in the team in form of Rainas and Sharmas, if India is to maintain its No.1 position for the next few years , then the trio of Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman will have to continue playing at least till the age of 45. These three have for a decade and a half (In Tendulkar’s case two decades ) skillfully hidden Indian batting’s insipidness by their breathtaking strokeplay. Dravid and Laxman have never got their due, losing the attention to the likes of Dhonis and Yuvrajs. They have so beautifully played their role that one doesn’t realize their worth in the side. Sachin Tendulkar on his part has skillfully carried the burden of a mediocre team on his shoulders so efficiently for the last two decades that when he is at the crease India look like world champions. People like him grace any sport just once in three or four decades.

We are going to lose the services of these three exceptional players- Sachin Tendulkar , VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid, at the same time, a time which is not so distant. And that day, will be a disaster for cricket in the country, because forget about showing promise to replace them, the young guns are not even one tenth of the caliber of these three.

The greatest of them all, has always been blamed for not winning enough test matches for India. The geniuses making these accusations forget the simple rule of cricket “Bowlers win matches. Batsmen only save them”. Is it his fault that nobody else in the batting lineup was half as good? (Azhar and Jadeja were hit and miss in the later 90s; Ganguly became a regular much later ,in 1996. No comments about the Kamblis and Manjrekars and Shastris and Prabhakars). Is it his fault that in the 90s, Indian fielders were known for letting the cricket ball pass between their legs to the boundary? (Slip fielding was a joke) Is it his fault that India has not been able to put together a decent bowling attack ever? (Those were the days of Srinaths, Prasads and Rajus getting whacked all over the ground).

Calling a cricket team without a decent bowling attack as number one is myopia. India has never once been able to put together a decent bowling attack. It has simply failed to produce two international level pacers and two international level spinners to play at the same given time. And that has been the major difference in India and teams like Australia and West Indies. Only three Indian pace bowlers have gone over 100 test wickets (Kapil Dev, Srinath and Zaheer Khan). The current Indian pace attack (?) will require a superhuman effort even to reach 150. The best excuse being given for this is the lack of good pitches in India. Pakistan has produced Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar with much poorer infrastructure than that of India. We might accuse the Pakistanis of ball tampering, but the fact remains that our bowlers will not be able to bowl like them even after tampering the ball.This has been the main reason why Pakistan dominated India in the better part of their cricketing history. No team can become a dominating force without good pace bowlers, and even if they do, the reign doesn’t last long (Sri Lanka is the prime example).

The tale of spin bowlers in India is as dismal. All that was in the name of spin in India was Anil Kumble. And now its Harbhajan (whos lost most of it). The paucity of spinners in India can be judged from the fact that the best spinner in the world currently is an Englishman.

The only area where considerable improvement has been made is fielding. But that again without the support of batting and bowling cant take you far.

The root of all this lies in the mentality. The image of cricketer in the Indian mind is that of a batsman. Kumble has never had the adulation that Tendulkar and Ganguly had, inspite of going beyond his abilities each time. Parents eager to send their boys to cricket academy want their child to be the next Tendulkar and Ganguly rather than the next Warne or McGrath. The results are for all of us to see.

Australia dominated cricket for more than a decade largely due to Glen McGrath and Shane Warne. The Gilchrists, Haydens, Langers and Waughs could bat freely only because of this. The Afridis, Anwars, Yousufs could indulge in flamboyance only on the assurance of Akram, Younis and Akhtar to complete the tale.

One can win consistently with excellent bowling attack and decent batting line up, but seldom with a good batting line up and mediocre bowling attack. Its really a cause of worry that all these pace academies cannot produce decent bowlers.

The future looks very bad for India as far as talent is concerned. It atleast threw up some individual talent in the 90’s. But that is not the case now. The next crop of India players is clearly not upto the the international level in the long run, in all three departments.BCCI needs to put its act together if it does not want the India Cricket Team to resemble Bangladesh after a decade.

Bottom of the Barrel

Cricket in general is going through a very lean phase . All the money is there, but the number of exceptional individuals who can make us forget about rest of the world is dwindling at an alarming rate. There is a severe shortage of world class talent. Very few exceptional players have been produced in this decade (and as if things weren’t worse, two of them were lost to spot betting ). What wont a cricket fan give to turn back time to the marvelous sights of McGrath and Warne wreaking havoc, of Donald and Pollock running in, of Amborse and Walsh streaming in, of Wasim and Waqar making mincemeat of the batsmen’s toes. If only we could see again Brain Lara mesmerizing us, Mark Waugh taking those stunning slip catches, Jonty Rhodes flying , Gilchrist bludgeoning the bowling to shreds….

Why are such sights becoming a rarity day by day? Why is it that not a single young player today threatens to unsettle the greats from their pedestal today or for quite some time to come? Take a look around and give the name of one new talent who can pull crowds to the ground just to watch him bat , bowl or field?

Greatness is vanishing. Talent is dwindling. Faster than anyone can imagine. No point in blaming T20 or various leagues in that format coming up. Everyone, the public and the cricket boards, seem to forget that there is no one to replace the greats. There is no effort made on a huge scale to hone the next generation. West Indies cricket committed this horrendous mistake and today we see this once great side reduced to the level of a local club team. Australia too seems to be heading the same way. Pakistan is already there.

It is not that those days cannot come back. But it will take a considerable amount of time for this recovery (Australia took fifteen years to rebuild their team that became world champions). It’s a question of until then, what effect is this situation going to have on the sport. Already, the once frenzy evoking tournaments like World Cup hardly have any excitement today.

A lean and barren spell lies ahead….
