what is it, death wish on the part of this lady? the communists and
the mullahs will now be screaming bloody murder.
i wish i could have seen romila thapar's and irfan habib's faces when
they heard about this.
an ill-timed and premature discovery of vertebrae by the woman who
would be president?
or should we now say, "would-have-been-president"?
i do feel sorry for her press secretary.
yes, she has been afflicted by the vasundhara raje virus :-), or maybe
the truth virus. after all, she's merely telling the truth.
thanks to AH for the pointer.

End the veil system: Pratibha
Special Correspondent
JAIPUR:
Rajasthan Governor and UPA Presidential candidate Pratibha Patil on
Sunday left historians and Muslim social activists astounded by her
remarks that the purdah (veil) system was introduced in India to
protect women from Mughal aggressors.
8 comments:
it is just a matter of time before she is taught on how to be "politically correct" .. i.e how to lie
The funny thing is that leftist Indian historians are now saying that what British historians said about purdah and the Mughals is wrong. So our left-leaning historians like to pick and choose what they use from the work of Imperial British historians. As examples:
Aryan invasion (Leftist Indian historians say YES!) -- even though it has been proved to be a false theory.
Purdah system (Leftist Indian historians say NO!)
This is pure commie politics in the garb of history.
I am referring to this:

Smt. Pratibha Patil's comments are just a statement of established fact and she deserves to be commended for that. If she does get elected and turns out to be true to her Rajput blood, Soniaji will be at her wit's end !
The Congress has always had a strain of soft nationalism in it, Lokmanya Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Patel, Purshottam das Tandon. More recently, R. Venkatraman, Shankar Dayal Sharma, P.V Narasimha Rao etc. If they could only get rid of the Nehru dynasty and cast off the genetically acquired dhimmitude from 1200 years of subjugation, Hindus could do business with them. After all, use a secular to deal with a secular.
Karya, Patil is not Rajput, but Maratha.
I was alluding to the fact that she's married to a Shekhawat (Rajput sub-clan). Also read somewhere that the Patil family has roots in Rajasthan. Anyway, Rajput/Sikh/Jat/Maratha + all Hindus were all frontline soldiers of the Hindu resistance to Islamic rule. Note how many atheists turn religious in their twilight years. Similarly, if anyone from the Kaangress sees light at the end of their public life, well they ought to be encouraged if it strengthens the Hindu/national cause. Of course, it remains to be seen whether this statement is derived from genuine conviction, (which is possible) OR merely posturing to divide the NDA ranks. Note the Shiv Sena's dilemma in not supporting Shri Kalam (due to Afzal clemency etc) and being seen opposing Smt Patil (a Maharashtrian woman and a soft nationalist to boot). Does anyone remember Karan Singh quoting Vedic shlokas in his election campaign against Vajpayee in the Lucknow Lok Sabha seat ?
Proponents of dhimmitude and our "eminent" historians are now scrambling to prove how the "purdah" actually predated the Mughal era and was an imitation rather than a defense strategy. What is surprising is Congress is actually downplaying the "controversy" and indirectly backing Pratibha, and there is no talk of an apology yet.
Sample this excerpt from a news report by Nadeem Bhat (!) "But more than that, her statement at a function to commemorate the 467th birth anniversary of Maharana Pratap was politically incorrect. And this has triggered a massive controversy with Muslim outfits, the Left intelligentsia and women's groups protesting against it. "

What never ceases to amaze is the sheer shameless pandering to "minorities" by these women's groups. A woman who has been nominated to be President has rightly condemned a retrograde practice unjustly inflicted on women, and these women's groups are up in arms! These same groups would be the first to back her had she condemned any Hindu practice.
PRATIBHA PATIL – THE PRESIDENT
Shrimati Indira Gandhi was the first Women Prime Minister of India, but she behaved like as if she was the Iron man of India. The victory in 1971 Pakistan war was a historic moment in her life. She had taken our country to a global level. She had also made a huge contribution in Nuclear Power, as a result of which we are also a Nuclear Power in the world.
Shrimati Sonia Gandhi sacrificed the post of Prime Minister and set a huge example of her love towards our country. She also looks and behaves very similar to Indira Gandhi. When I see her on television I think that as if Shrimati Indira Gandhi is standing in front of me. She had made an historic decision by nominating Shrimati Pratibha Patil for the post of President of India. Although our country is Male Dominated she had set her mark by getting nominated for the post of President and this proves that Women in India are now a strong force to deal with.
After Sixty years of Independence a Woman leader is going to become the President of our country which is a beginning of a Revolution. Since she had born in Maharashtra which is the birth place of Shivaji and she got married in Rajasthan which is the birth place of Maharanapratap. Therefore she possesses all the qualities of these leaders and she is taking their pride to Delhi.
Shrimati Pratibha Patil had born on 19th December 1934 in Jalgaon. She is a Taurean and her Nakshatra is Rohini. From Moon to fifth house Mars is situated which shows that she is very intelligent. Since Ketu is situated in her third house she is very daring in taking decisions. This can be seen from the fact that after marriage she refused to keep the surname of her husband and kept her own surname ‘Patil’ which was a very big thing in that time. In today’s world women can inspire from Shrimati Pratibha Patil and make their own identity after marriage also.
Saturn is situated in her tenth house which is providing her success in every walk of life. Coincidentally her Nineth and Tenth house lord is also Saturn. According to Parashar rule it is a very big Rajyog and hence she can definitely become the President of India.
In the coming time it is very necessary for us to wake the Women Power in our country to save our country from Terrorism and other Illegal Activities.
With God’s grace we have to get rid of all the Devil power which is stopping our country to become the most powerful nation of the world. During the Pakistan war Shrimati Indira Gandhi had made an historic moment. Since 1971 war nobody has created an impact like Indiraji as she had done in her time. Prime Minister like Atal Bihari Vajpayee was also not able to cross the border line of Pakistan at the time of Kargil War. As a result of which we had to face a very serious loss. If we would had Indira Gandhi at that time instead of Atal Bihari Vajpayee we would had cross their border and given them a beating of a life time.
Lately, but Sonia Gandhi has awakened the Women Power in India. In the coming future 33% Women reservation bill have to be pass and this will happen in the present Loksabha till 2008. Our country is going through a revolution of Women Power and we will soon be observing an era which is totally Women Dominated. Now the time has come in which Women should be equally respected like Men, because according to my calculation Women are the future of our Country.
Shrimati Sonia Gandhiji you should move forward towards development of our country because the whole nation is with you. Although you come from a Royal family you behave like a common woman. Looking at the stars of Pratibha Patil she is definitely going to become the President of our country Shrimati Sonia gandhiji has done a very good job by nominating her name for the post of President and it will be very beneficial for our country.
