“The purpose of the statement,” according to @pbmehta "was to subtly signal out the Indian state as a protector of Hindus". What’s wrong with that?

#Leicester #Birmingham #HindusUnderAttackInUK As and when, there is a real or imaginary attack on Christianity anywhere in the world, the US and the UK are the first ones to react. So do Islamic nations when they think Islam is under attack in any part of the world. @pbmehta

It was not a Hindu-Muslim dispute in #Leicester. It was Ind vs Pak. The violence began on Aug 28 after Ind defeated Pak in a T20 match. British Muslims of Asian origin snatched the Indian flag and desecrated it, resulting in clashes between anti-India and pro-Pakistan elements. On Sep 4, Pakistan won the match and almost 10,000 youth joined in from Birmingham. Charged Muslims assembled in a stadium and declared ‘Islam is in danger’. This slogan is a euphemism for declaring a war against non- Muslims by the believers.

With the last batch of 55 Hindus and Sikhs landing in Delhi Sunday last, only 43 of them are left in Afghanistan. A thousand year back, Afghanistan was a thriving center of Hinduism and Buddhism. Subsequently, successful Islamic invasions in Afghanistan followed by forced conversions to Islam, brought down the number of Hindu-Sikhs to an estimated seven lakhs by 1970s. The two communities have become nearly extinct during the lifetime of many of us! Why and how?

भारत को जख्मी केवल औरंगेजब ने ही नहीं किया। इस जैसे कई इस्लामी आक्रांता थे, जिन्होंने 'काफिर-कुफ्र' अवधारणा से प्रेरित होकर स्थानीय हिंदुओं, बौद्ध-जैन अनुचरों और सिखों को 'मौत या इस्लाम' में से कोई एक चुनने का विकल्प दिया। यह चिंतन आज विश्व शांति के लिए चुनौती बनी हुई है। वर्ष 712 में जब अरब आक्रांता मोहम्मद बिन कासिम ने सिंध पर हमला करके राजा-दाहिर को परास्त किया, तब उसने गैर-मुस्लिमों को 'जिम्मी/धिम्मी' घोषित करके उनपर शरीयत अनुरूप जीवित रहने हेतु कर (ज़जिया) थोप दिया। इसे कालांतर में कई इस्लामी आक्रांताओं ने लागू किया।

खंडित भारत सहित भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में औरंगजेब जैसे पिशाची इस्लामी आक्रांताओं का रक्तरंजित चरित्र और शासनकाल को उनके समकालीन इतिहासकारों और दरबारियों द्वारा लिखे वृतांतों से स्पष्ट है। इस्लामी दरबारी सकी मुस्तईद खान द्वारा लेखबद्ध ‘मासिर-ए-आलमगीरी’ नामक पुस्तक औरंगजेब प्रदत्त क्रूरता की संहिता है, जिसमें इसका स्पष्ट उल्लेख है कि औरंगजेब द्वारा जारी फ़रमान के बाद काशी विश्वनाथ मंदिर को तोड़कर वहां मस्जिद का निर्माण कर दिया गया था... *1/3

Roughly put, what @INCIndia stands for, is a queer mix of vestigial Gandhism, confused socialism (a washed-out version of outdated Garibi hatao), crony capitalism, and unhinged 'secularism' which oscillates between public display of soft Hindutva (pre-poll temple hopping).. **1/2 **2/2 ... and working with 'tukde tukde' gang (TTG) – pushing its divisive agenda. This conundrum simply can't work. Kanhaiya Kumar's joining the party is a quintessential example, underlining the ideological confusion within Congress.

Dynasty acolytes hit back and pointed out, that @INCIndia's existence was intransigencally linked with the Gandhi family. In the last week of April, Veteran Cong leader A K Antony candidly admitted "The Congress cannot exist without the Nehru-Gandhi family". Recently writing in a multi-edition, national English daily, #ManiShankarAiyar, another senior Cong leader observed, "...it is the Gandhis who together constitute the glue, or the bonding adhesive, that keeps the partly together and gives it an all India profile.”

.@INCPunjab leader @sunilkjakhar's exit on 19 May, and @HardikPatel_'s acerbic missive to Congress President #SoniaGandhi a day earlier, have paid put to the hopes of the loyalists- expecting an end to the continuing haemorrhaging of talent from the beleaguered party...1/7 2/7 ... - and its revival in the aftermath of three day #udaipurchintanshivir. #HardikPatel's resignation is important: both for it's timing and content. It came about just within days of the conclusion of much-hyped shivir.

#Pope Honorius I (625-638) was condemned and excommunicated for heresy by the sixth general council in 680. Stephen VI (896-89) had the body of his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed and put on trial (this is the famous cadaver synod) for his unbecoming conduct during his tenure. Stephen had Formosa's papal vestments removed and two fingers from his right hand cut off. Formosa's' body was thrown into the Tiber. After the synod, public opinion turned against Stephen. He was deposed in an uprising and strangled to death.

In the 13th century, Pope Gregory IX (#Pope from 1227-1241), believed that cats had Satan himself within them . Following a Papal Bull (essentially laying down #Church doctrine), virtually everyone in Western Europe began to exterminate cats. #Christmas #Christianity Thousands were accused of #witches or devil worshipers, and either tortured, killed or both. The cat genocide petered out following Gregory death, but the gory tradition remained alive. #Christmas #Christianity

However, #Pope Julius l decision to steal a pagan event and re-launch it under a Christian brand didn’t go well with a large section of devout #Christians. There were instances, when Christian authorities put a stop to #Christmas celebrations. In 1659, the Massachusetts Bay colony banned #Christmas, as in subject to criminal prosecution and a fine of five shillings (now, about $ 8000) as part of its efforts to "reform" and 'Purify' the church by purging it of the idolatry and ceremonial excesses.

.@ImranKhanPTI जिस "नए #पाकिस्तान" की बात करते है- क्या वह कभी मूर्त रूप लेगा? शायद नहीं, क्योंकि इस इस्लामी राष्ट्र की वैचारिक पृष्ठभूमि- काफिर, कुफ्र और इस्लामी कट्टरवाद के इर्दगिर्द घूमती है। यदि इन तीनों मूल्यों को पाकिस्तान बरकरार रखता है, तो न ही उसका चरित्र बदलेगा और ना ही भारत व गैर-मुस्लिम (हिंदू सहित) के प्रति व्यवहार में कोई सुधार आएगा। यदि #पाकिस्तान इन मूल्यों का त्याग कर देता है, तब उसके लिए एक अलग राष्ट्र के रूप में जीवित रहने का कोई औचित्य ही नहीं रहेगा।
