Swami Lakshmananda Saraswati was a revered 80 year old monk who had dedicated his life to the noble cause of resisting conversions to the christist death cult of the most vulnerable sections of society in the remotest and most under-developed areas of the Union; conversions induced under duress by force and fraud.
Swamiji had survived many such attacks by Christian terrorists in the past, most recently on "Christmas" day, 2007. How could the government not anticipate a repeated attempt by the same demoniac forces? Why was no security offered by the government to Swamiji when Black Cat commandos have been deployed for the "protection" of Mehbooba Mufti, her father the Mufti and the seditious Hurriyat mullahs? The state government and the Union government are guilty of a grave dereliction of duty and culpable homicide at worst
Swamiji's martyrdom for the preservation of Hinduism - on Krishna Janmashtami day, deliberately chosen to inflict the latest act of aggression by the binary Palestinian death cult founded on the worship of a mutilated Arab corpse nailed to a stick. Low life Christian terrorist scum practising the "religion of love"(sic) like their dead Australian terror mastermind, Graham Stain.
These hateful terrorists need to be crushed urgently for the preservation of Hinduism, true secularism and the very concept of Indian nationhood.
Why on earth are the negationist pseduo-liberals in the ELM describing these
christist terrorists as "Naxalites" and "Maoists". The christist credentials of these thugs are quite transparent to all. Nobody is fooled by the diabolical psec propaganda. If the Christian terrorists of Orissa are "Maoist", then
the logical inference is that the Vatican's Pope practises Scientology and Marxism.
This is where Balasaheb Thackeray's call for a 'Hindu miltant force' needs to be acted upon expeditiously, although it would be more appropriate to think of it as an armed Hindu Self Defense force.
The organisation and discipline required to mount such an effort on a national scale
is available only with the Sangh Parivar. Alas, they only train with canes and occasionally indulge in eulogies of that suicidal pacifist megalomaniac dictator Gandhi. It is the pervasiveness of this suicidal ideology that renders the nation impotent against 3M aggressors.
The absence of such a credible deterrent is what allows Christist terrorists to commit such atrocities with absolutely no fear of retaliation. Therefore, terrorists need to be dealt with as terrorists.
Apparently, the removal of that convict STAIN terror ideologue has not served as an adequate punitive measure for loony bin christist nuts in Orissa. Rise DharmaRakshak Dara Singh, rise in every able bodied patriot, rise in every true son of Mother India and annihilate the enemies of our civilisation once and for all.
Rise DharmaRakshak Nathuram Godse, rise to exterminate the fascist proponents of suicidal Gandhian dhimmitude. Rise Rishi Dadhichi, rise to offer your bones to serve as steel for the thunderbolt Vajra in order to secure a final victory over Adharma.

Yankee fugitive a Christist cult member?
Truly Stunning and Sinister indications of Abrahamic terrorist synergy. A previous thread on this blog pertaining to the Yankee fugitive gave him the benefit of doubt and focused only on the mysterious circumstances of his flight. The fellow is apparently no innocent "businessperson". He is actually a christist evangelical wolf in "multi-national executive" clothing, probably just one of many thugs using this modus operandi to spread hateful christist evangelical propaganda.
Another modus operandi of foreign missionary infiltration into India is "international exchange students". (As an aside - I have personal anecdotal evidence of this stratagem having met with such "students" in India and with prospective "students" in the US. Many years ago, when I was an intern at a software company, one of my tasks was to create websites and register them with search engines. One of these sites was for a Christist church - with operations in India. P.S - I billed the hyenas for it, but never really"registered" their loser website. ROTFL . As a grad student, I was also offered a paid "opportunity" to translate evangelical literature into Indian languages which I refused. In retrospect, I should have taken that "opportunity"and translated Christopher Hitchens instead)
It is hard to believe that a suspect in such a prominent terrorist attack could simply disappear into thin air. This crazy evangelical's "escape" is reminiscent of the defection of RAW agent, Rabinder Singh to the US via Nepal. One need not be a romantic conspiracy theorist or extreme cynic to disbelieve assertions of this fellow's innocence or believe in the culpability of anti-Hindu, anti-national UPA "SECULAR" fascist brutes in facilitating his "free passage".
This is not some concoction of the"Right wing Hindu fundamentalist" imagination. Rediff says so and disgusted Yankee ex-members of this death cult say so. Therefore, it must be true.
This is incontrovertible evidence that the UPA coalition is the Vatican's puppet regime of tin pot dictators in India.
And why is India's ATS negating this fugitive's association with the lunatic Christist cult? It is a significant aspect of the immediate terrorist incident, investigating which might unravel sinister Christo-Mohammedan collaboration in terrorism.
Why is this aspect being brushed under the carpet? And at whose instance?

.........................But Haywood's unorthodox departure has put the
spotlight on his employer, Campbell White, which presents itself as a trainer in soft skills with offices across India. Its website details its expertise in imparting soft skills, and has undergone major changes since L'affaire Haywood, and there's an explanation for why its staffers have been reduced to mere first names, and directing all queries to one email id: info@campbellwhite.net
Interestingly, Haywood doesn't feature on its list of employees. The Indian Express reported on August 14 that the company's Mumbai office 'is located in two small adjoining
rented rooms on the ground floor of Sanpada railway station complex', and that
'the two rooms also serve as prayer rooms on Sundays and Thursdays for Potter's
House. A notice on the wall says community service has been cancelled until further notice and is signed by Haywood.'
Potter's House is part of the
Christian Fellowship Ministries based in Arizona (Haywood's home state,
incidentally), and appears under a number of different monikers: the Door
Christian Centre, La Puerta, Potter's House, and Victory Chapel.
US media accounts of the group, which date back to the early 1980s, paint the group as a far-right Christian cult, determined to evangelise the entire world. It's been the subject of scathing critiques, including some by former members.
One former member, Steve Schoner, was so affected by his experiences that he created 'Life After Potter House' a website for those attempting to leave the group.
Haywood reportedly was personally ordained as a minister by Wayman Mitchell, founder of CFM. Though he resented himself as a corporate executive in India, people in his hometown say otherwise. In e-mail correspondence with some from Arizona, rediff.com has learned that Kenneth Haywood was/is a pastor at the Flagstaff Christian
Fellowship. When asked why he left Arizona, rediff.com was told that he had
"become a missionary". So what is the link between Campbell White and Potter House? Was Haywood the only common element between the two? In the past, Mitchell has pointed to India as a country where CFM could make significant inroads. And Haywood is seemingly not the only Campbell White employee with links to CFM. The Internet is full of postings and message boards about many of its past employees having similar links.Today, the additional commissioner of police in the Anti-Terrorism Squad, Parambir Singh, told rediff.com that the ATS was not focused on Haywood's possible association with Potter's House Church, and is more concerned with determining the origin of the terror e-mail............... deleted

"Terrorists have NO religion" Alert
Jaipur: Rajasthan Muslim Forum convener Kari Mueenudin says:
"Terrorists have no religion, they just disturb communal harmony in a country like India, which is advancing and showing global presence,"
Er, We don't buy this negationist propaganda, which effectively states that the Jihadi terrorists are actually atheists! Whereas, the terrorists themselves have absolutely no compunctions in identifying their doctrine of world conquest.
And for once, lets allow the Jihadis to speak for themselves, shall we?
The candour and clarity of thought of the Jihadi enemy is not something to be sneezed at.
The overt Jihadis are preferable to insufferable practitioners of Al-Taqiya any day. The latter's dhimmitude is analogous to insisting that a Mohammedan is vegetarian simply because he refuses to consume anything that was not ritually slaughtered per Koranic scriptural instructions, i.e. Halal.
Or Kaangress dhimmis stating that the Jamaat E Islami or other Islamist organisations are "secular" because they opposed the partition of India on religious lines. They opposed the partition because they desired ALL of India to become an Islamic Caliphate!
Here's a rare good analysis in the CHINDU, of the Koranic underpinnings of the Jihadi terror doctrine. The Chinese Communist regime must have had it with the Jihadi thugs in East Turkestan (Xinjiang) if an analyst has been permitted to publish this in N. Ram's dirty psec rag!
It would be misleading, though, to understand the e-mail only as a claim of responsibility. Like a similar document issued by the Indian Mujahideen after the bombings of three trial-court buildings in Uttar Pradesh last year, the e-mail is — despite its crude style and poor spelling — a political manifesto.
According to the authors of the e-mail, the bombings were carried out to meet two purposes: first, to “blow part your tourism structure” and, second, to “demolish your faith in the dirty mud, in the name of Hanuman, Sita [and] Ram”.
But the e-mail is, for the most part, concerned with explaining just why the Indian Mujahideen are conducting terrorist attacks. Violence, the e-mail states, is a means to “to clearly give our message to Kuffar-e-Hind [the infidels of India] that if Islam and Muslims in this country are not safe then the light of your safety will also go off very soon”.
Citing from the Koran and the Hadith, or traditions of the Prophet, the Indian Mujahideen argues its actions have theological legitimacy. Scriptural calls for forgiveness relied on by the Deoband clerics, it says, are only relevant after a decisive military victory. Dialogue, it continues, is futile: “there is no existence of compromise between a believer and a non-believer.”

The situation is out of control
The video is about negationist dhimmitude of "secular progressives" at work, in Sweden. But, the video could accurately portray the situation in India, accurate to a fault, with a few transposed images of Mohammedan aggression in India and it's dhimmi "secularist" enablers. An Indian mutation is the never ending Kaangressi/Babu refrain of "The situation is tense, but under control" as opposed to "Out of control". Otherwise, there is nothing to distinguish Indian dhimmi footsoldiers of Mohammedanism from their European counterparts, except perhaps their physical characteristics.

MMS says Religious extremism hurdle in women's empowerment
From The Pioneer:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has singled out 'religious extremism, fanaticism, fundamentalism, political and social violence against women' as the greatest hurdles in women's development and empowerment.Er, a clarification is in order. Which Semitic death cult is MMS referring to in the context of religious fanaticism, fundamentalism, political and social violence against women? The answer should be self evident: Both ROP, ROL fit the description. But, that would be totally uncharacteristic of MMS to make such a bold indictment of the imperialistic death cults. MMS must be fully aware of the reality of Semitic oppression of women, yet true to his negationist dhimmitude, he makes a broad and dishonest generalisation that potentially includes Hindus in his enumeration of those obstructing women's empowerment.
Speaking on the occasion of the East Asia Gender Equality Ministerial meeting here on Thursday, Singh recalled that the Women's Manifesto during last general elections had referred to the 'alarming rise of religious fundamentalism that excluded women from public life.'..........

Malaysia’s Racial Policies Draw International Scrutiny
Finally, it appears that the Hindu diaspora has found it's voice and the world takes notice, even if grudgingly. This acquired some momentum only after Hindu organisations in India protested against Malay Muslim discrimination against Hindus, i.e. "DHARMO RAKSHATI RAKSHITAH". Now, several Indian politicians have discovered a hitherto latent "compassion" for Hindus, albeit as "Indians" or "Tamils". Hindus are unworthy of compassion, you see. Typical negationism to be expected from Dravidians and Communists who are repressing Hindus within India itself !!!
And yet that champion of Tamil interests, the LTTE does not find this a worthwhile cause to support? The Malay Mohammedan repression of "ethnic Indians" actually has little to do with their being "Indian" and is rather based on a doctrine of religious and racial supremacy that clearly inspires temple demolitions and forcible conversions of women and children in Mohammedan "re-education camps", all done with the enthusiastic support and approval of Muslim Indians in Malaysia. No amount of rationalisation by secular dhimmis can minimise or negate this fact.
Side note: Consistent with his policy of muzzling debate over the past 3 years, Lok Sabha speaker, Marxist lunatic Somnath Chatterjee disallowed a debate on the matter saying: "We are a very responsible democracy. We don't discuss any friendly country in such a manner"
Does democracy mean a sinister silence of "See no evil, Hear no evil, Say no evil" in Parliament when a hostile Jihadi regime is brutally and deliberately repressing your own people? What flavour of Stalinist democracy is that? The "German Democractic republic" one or "Democratic People's republic of Korea" one? Meanwhile, on the floor of that friendly Jihadi democracy's parliament, some pompous official said "Indians in Malaysia were better off than those in India" The cheek of the fellow!

Philippines reaches deal with Muslim separatists
Christist Philippines accommodates Jihadis it has been fighting for long. That sets something of a precedent. Such Abrahamic synergy has been at work in India for long to persecute Hindus. Yet, it would be interesting to watch their interaction in 3 areas: 1) Christist proselytism in Muslim majority Kashmir, 2) Mohammedan demography and terror in Kerala where Christists are present in equal strength, 3) Bangladeshi Mohammedan infiltration diversifying from Assam/West Bengal to christian majority states like Nagaland and Mizoram. A new, atypical mutant of Indian negationism will be spawned, fathered by the John Dayals and Asghar Ali Engineers with the purpose of minimising Mullah-Padre conflict. As a consequence, the traditional JNU, ASI negationists like Romila Thapar whose sole reason for existence is to conceal the Islamic holocaust in India will find their relevance and utility for the seculars diminishing.

India named among world's 10 most 'gender-biased' economies
"In the overall ranking, the country has slipped from 98th rank in 2006 when the index included a total of 115 countries..................The countries ranked below India include Bahrain, Cameroon, Burkina Fa's, Iran, Oman, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Benin, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Pakistan, Chad and Yemen with the lowest gender equality of 45.1 per cent." .... deleted
What are they smoking? Note how the countries ranked below India exclude hellholes such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Somalia, to name a few. Is it the World Economic Forum's contention that women in those countries are more liberated and empowered than their Indian sisters? Or have some Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib clones infiltrated WEF to propagate their negationist worldview?

Hindus missing the wood for the trees
Dr.Gautam Sen on the real holocaust that everyone, including the
"Hindu nationalist" BJP fails to recognise.
The nuclear "deal", the RamSetu demolition, the negationist affidavit, the Bangladeshi demographic invasion, Christist proselytisation, Naxalite anarchy, reservations for Mohammedans & Christists, Sharia law in Kashmir .... all these
are not isolated incidents, rather comprise links in a common thread of destruction of Hindu civilization by it's enemies.
Of course, dhimmi practitioners of Christo-yoga may have their heads buried too deep
in unnatural positions to pay attention, but failure to take cognizance of the gradual extermination of Hindu civilization on it's own soil constitutes suicidal negationism.
Is it any surprise then that Shikhandi Manmohan Singh has been emboldened enough to
pronounce the post Godhra riots a "holocaust"? .
The anatomically deficient MMS is never known to speak audibly or legibly; his
prime minister ship is an anomalous accident of history. Yet, he makes bold to label Hindu reaction to Islamic terrorism a "holocaust".This after absolving the genocidal British of all wrongdoing in India and certifying at Oxford that their holocaust in India had "beneficial effects" for the natives.
MMS contradicts every single ideal that the valorous Sikh Gurus stood for.
Rather, he is adhering to the tradition of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's minor son who was
whisked away to England, placed in the care of a Christist foster home and baptized.
I have not seen a single statement by anybody condemning MMS for giving credence to this perverted "holocaust" mythology. Despite his Shikhandi image, MMS is a very devious character - a career bureaucrat and a career Nehruvian Stalinist.
Actually, he is doubly dangerous because he is under-estimated by virtue of Shikhandihood.
The Gujarat "holocaust" myth should not go unchallenged by the right.

Negationist Archaeological Survey of India
Posting text of the article here, instead of a link on account of the Pioneer's
changing URL's. Prafull Goradia makes a forceful indictment of the negationist
track record of "eminent" sarkari historians. Negation of Islamic iconoclasm in
India seems to be the sole reason for the existence of the dhimmi archaeologists,
other than manufacturing true mythology such as composite culture, secularism of the Mughals - the excessive benevolence of Akbar in particular and so on.
The reasons for such concealment are not hard to guess.
Debunking secular shibboleths would necessarily lead to a nationalist upsurge
and Nehruvian Stalinists would end up losing control over the levers of power.
The ASI would deserve to be shut down purely on the basis of a cost/benefit analysis
of it's track record. However, in my opinion, winding up the ASI is not the answer to leftist negationism. Rather, the stranglehold of the negationists over institutions like the ASI needs to be broken by fighting and winning a sustained ideological battle in the Schools, Universities, law courts, print and electronic media.
Abolish ASI: Prafull Goradia (The Pioneer)
The Director of the Archaeological Survey of India, Mr C Dorjee, is reported to have claimed in his affidavit before the apex court that ASI has to be scientific in its approach. To quote him, "ASI is a science and technology department. The issue has to be approached and examined in a scientific manner." There is no historical or scientific evidence to establish the existence of Lord Ram or the other characters of Ramayan, he added.
ASI has been presumptuous in claiming to be scientific. If one reads its performance since independence, it would appear that it has been mostly burying communally embarrassing places of worships rather than excavating new sites. Let us detail two of the prominent temples that were the targets of concealing, rather than revealing, ancient heritage. They are Bijamandal at Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh and the Rudramahalaya Complex at Siddhpur, Gujarat.
One night during the monsoon of 1991, heavy rain washed away the wall of the Bijamandal, a temple in Vidisha, desecrated four times and last converted into a mosque by Aurangzeb in 1682. The broken wall exposed so many Hindu idols that ASI was left with no choice but to excavate. For three centuries, the idols were buried under what was used as the prayer hall. The district collector in 1991 happened to offer protection to the surveyors of ASI, who were otherwise reluctant to expose themselves to the wrath of bigots. Treasures of sculpture were salvaged.
Some of the statues were splendid and were as high as eight feet. The work of the archaeologists, however, did not last long. ASI soon received instructions to stop further work. The officer of ASI working on the excavations was transferred, as was the collector. Whether this had anything to do with the new Human Resource Development Minister, Mr Arjun Singh, 1991-94, is not certain. Since then, the Bijamandal is marking time with a great deal of sculpture hidden under it.
Alexander Cunningham had visited Malwa twice in 1874 AD 1876. He wrote in Volume X of the ASI Report: "Inside the town there is a stone masjid called Bijay Mandir. This Hindu temple was thrown down by the order of Aurangzeb, and the present masjid erected in its place; but Hindus still frequent it at the time of the annual fair."
It is difficult to redeem the pristine glory of Vijay Mandir, whose scale and dimensions are reminiscent of the Konark temple. Nevertheless, is it scientific for ASI to deliberately bury architectural treasures?
Coming to Siddhpur, the National Minorities Commission in 1983 prevented ASI from carrying out excavation in or around the Rudramahalaya complex, where once existed the tallest temple in Gujarat. From its top could be seen glimpses of Patan, the capital of the ancient kings of Gujarat. From the top it is believed were visible some temple mashaals in Ahmedabad, which was 112 km away. The National Minorities Commission influenced Governments, both in Delhi and Gandhinagar, into freezing the excavation work that was begun by ASI in 1979. The details are available in the Commission's Fourth Annual Report, 1983.
An improvement of the environment around the masjid was conceived in 1959 in response to a complaint repeatedly made by the local Muslims that ASI had been neglecting the repair and upkeep of the masjid. Yet, after 1983, the commission not only had to ensure that the work was frozen but also that all the excavations made had to be covered up. On my visit to the site in June 2000, I was able to see a dozen or so statuettes including a stone Nandi bull in a mutilated condition. The rest of the relics had been covered up.
According to the commission report, Begum Ayesha, MLA, played a leading part in the cover up operation. KT Satarawala, the then Adviser to the Governor of Gujarat, also played a yeoman's role in the concealment. AS Quereshi, advocate, for the (Muslim) Trustees, issued a notice dated February 6, 1980, to the Superintendent, ASI, asking the department to build compound walls in order to cover up the temple remains.
The Superintendent explained in person the importance of the discoveries made and the need for revision of the Muslim demand in the interests of preserving the precious cultural heritage of the country. Quereshi visited Siddhpur on March 8, 1980, alongwith the Superintendent. At first, he agreed to the preservation but later insisted on getting the trenches closed. The Superintendent complied with all his demands as recorded in the commission's report.
How scientific or technological was the performance of ASI in Siddhpur and Vidisha is for the reader to judge. There is no doubt that instead of excavating and preserving our cultural heritage, ASI has been involved in the concealing of heritage. Should ASI not be wound up to prevent its destructive role as well as to save public money?
