Ramayana: Divine Loophole

Veteran animation artist Sanjay Patel has come out with his own illustrated version of the Ramayana entitled "Ramayana: Divine Loophole" - check it out, as you may enjoy the art.


His particular drawing style is very geometric and iconized and yet also very colourful. It could probably even be suitable for logos, emblems, insignia, etc, because of its distilled simplicity.

Ramayana: The Epic

Yes, it's another new animated Ramayana movie, by Maya Entertainment:




Looks pretty good, and has a hip sound. At this rate, you'll have to add a separate bookshelf just for all the Ramayana movies. Everybody has their digital Valmik ready to push out a story.

Belated Wishes on December 6th

Belated Wishes on Shaurya Diwas to one and all. The pernicious ideology of "Secularism" has inflicted innumerable calamities on the Hindu nation since that momentous day in history when oppressed Hindus rose up as one man to offer their symbolic resistance to the brutal fascism of the Hindu hating "Secular" Indian Stalinist state.

The collaboration of the "Secular" Stalinists with Islamist Jihad, Christist evangelical terror and Maoist insurgency presents a far more serious threat to the Hindu civilisation today that is existential in nature, hence subsumes several battles against symbols of medieval Islamist pestilence inflicted upon India. Decimation of those anti-national forces is therefore an urgent priority.

The heroism and sacrifices demonstrated by the Kar Sevaks (many of them lacking a Western "education" (sic), although most certainly NOT lacking in wisdom or valour) in emulation of Lord Ram's war against terror should be an inspiration and object lesson to contemporary Hindus in the current war to safeguard Hindu civilisation from Mullah/Missionary/Marxist terror.

Manmohan's daughter denigrates core Hindu beliefs

From The Pioneer - Book by PM's daughter stirs controversy

A book compiled by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's daughter belittling characters of Ramayana has snowballed into a major controversy with the BJP threatening nation-wide stir against it for it "hurting Hindu sentiment".

The book prescribed for second year undergraduate students of the Delhi University dubs Hanuman as the "henchman" of Lord Ram and calls him a "tiny monkey". At one place it portrays Sita as the daughter of Ravana and at another place it accuses Hanuman and Ravana of seducing Sita.

These "derogatory references" are contained in an article titled 'Three hundred Ramayanas: Five examples and three thoughts on translation' that forms part of the book compiled by Prime Minister's daughter, Upinder Singh, who is a professor of ancient history in Delhi University.

"The book has assaulted the religious sentiments of Hindus. This is not tolerable. We would like it to be removed from the course. Else, we would be forced to take it to the streets," BJP's deputy leader in Lok Sabha Vijay Kumar Malhotra said.

Maintaining that the BJP was not against freedom of expression, Malhotra said his party did not want the book to be banned, but only withdrawn from the curriculum.

The article that has agitated many Hindu outfits talks about Ravana conceiving Sita as a result of eating the fruit given by Lord Shiva, which was for his wife Mandodri. Eventually, it says, Ravana gave birth to Sita through nasal sneeze (Sita meaning sneeze in Kannada) and out of public shame left Sita in the fields of king Janak!

The mask of innocence or Shikhandihood is off. The unbridled and undisguised efforts by the "secular progressives" since they usurped control of our dhimmocracy 4 years ago, to annihilate Hindu religion and Indic civilisation is no coincidence. Some people have attempted to minimise MMS role in this by describing him as Sonia's puppet. But, statements by him on a range of subjects expose his Khalistani mindset. These constitute a pattern of ManMohan Singh's genocidal ideology. Here's a non-comprehensive list of his assaults on the nation -

1. Atrocious allegations that the RSS was involved in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi, whereas it was Kaangress thugs who were responsible.
2. Apologising to the Sikhs on behalf of the entire nation for the rioting by Kaangress thugs.
3. Accusing Hindu nationalists of involvement in terrorist acts such as the Samjhauta express incident.
4. Filing the anti-Hindu affidavit in the Supreme Court on the Ram Setu issue.
5. Losing sleep over the "suffering" of Muslim terrorists' families and not
doing so for Hindu victims of Islamist terrorism.
6. Inaction over Mohammedan Jihadi oppression of the Hindu minority in Malaysia, indeed augmenting defence cooperation with the jihadi regime.
7. Gifting $700 million of Indian taxpayers' money to Pakistani "earthquake victims", thousands of tonnes of grain and millions of dollars to Bangladeshi "cyclone victims" when suicides by destitute farmers continue unabated within India.
8. Issuing a diplomatic demarche to Denmark on harmless cartoons and remaining inactive when his own daughter launches frontal attacks on core beliefs of the Hindu religion.

Manmohan Singh is a bigot and an enabler of Islamic terror.

Buddhadeb Bhattacharya ridicules Hindu faith

Just a few days ago, this Stalinist gerontocrat was genuflecting to Mohammedan obscurantism and harassing Taslima Nasrin for alleged "blasphemy". All of a sudden, he's developed some testosterone to indulge in real blasphemy and laceration of faith. No wait, the recipient of his ridicule are the Hindus, a demographic, cultural, religious soft target whom every emaciated scum feels emboldened to denigrate.

Denying Ram is denying India: Tarun Vijay

"Mythology. The whole construct is a British anthropological revenge on us....."

The use of the word "mythology" in the context of Hindu heritage is indeed a
jarring English construct. Why Indian hacks persist with this pernicious
colonial nomenclature to the present day is inexplicable.

"Didn't the political masters who cleared the affidavit know that Ram doesn't need any birth certificate from occupants of the paan-stained dirty corridors of State?"

Indeed, that is what the arrogant seculars want, i.e. for the Hindus to grovel
painfully before the secular apparatus and beg for a birth certificate from some
half literate babu. And if they did stoop to that level and manage to acquire such a certificate, the seculars would wag their fingers condescendingly and declare that it was not duly attested. If the Hindus had the document attested by a registrar, they would derisively say No, this does not have the Sarkari round seal in blue ink.
If that too were obtained, sworn affidavits from eye witnesses would be demanded.

In other words, the secular thugs and their Mullah/Missionary/Marxist benefactors
want nothing less than the complete annihilation of India's Hindu identity.
The affidavit filed by the ASI in the Supreme Court is nothing but a pre-meditated act of aggression against Hinduism and India itself.
There needs to be proper accountability for such actions, otherwise the aggressors would be emboldened in their agenda to subjugate India yet again.

"Perversity as secularism": KPS Gill on the Rama Setu issue

It is heartening to know that the Sikhs are as offended as the Hindus with the Kaangress's insistance on Lord Rama's non-existence. I guess 70% of the Sikhs' holy scriptures contain one form or the other of Lord Vishnu's name.

From the article:

The individuals concerned at every level of the drafting and approval of this pernicious affidavit need to be clearly and publicly identified and penalised for causing unnecessary offence to Hindus - the majority community in this country, and one that is evidently not regarded as a vote-bank by the so-called 'secular' parties - and, indeed, to many non-Hindus who share in the vibrant collective and cultural consciousness of India's variegated civilisation.

Nationwide protests over Sethusamudram project

"No evidence to prove existence of Ram, Centre to SC"

http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/sep/12ram.htm

This is a deliberate assault on Hindu faith by the mullah, missionary, marxist combine and their GOI stooges. It should be seen in conjunction with their deliberate aggression since the UPA coalition was formed in 2004.

Repeal of POTA, Reservations to Muslims per Rajinder Sachar report, Reservations to christists per Ranganath Mishra report - an open inducement to christist conversion, preparations for creating an Islamic banking system,
establishment of a virtual parallel judiciary, i.e "Darul Qaza" for Muslims,
distortion of history in school text books, appointment of compliant ideologically motivated governors, presidents, election commissioners, wilful neglect of impoverished farmers, troop withdrawal from Kashmir, enabling amendment to the Foreigner's act to encourage Bangladeshi Mohammedan infiltration, increasingly bold terrorist attacks by muslim terrorists and maoists across the hinterland, surrender of strategic space in friendly neighbours like Nepal & Sri Lanka to inimical powers, deliberate lethargy in implementing projects pertaining to infrastructure and defense, emasculation of the nation's nuclear deterrent - and now, the deliberate
attack on all objects held sacred by the Hindus.

Contrast this brazen insult to the Hindu majority to the deferential treatment accorded to adherents of predatory Semitic cults. After all, would any babu dare to
question the "virgin birth" of the mythical jesus or the cruci-fiction story.
Even an innocent cartoon in distant Denmark incites mohammedan rioting in India.

The dravidian christist minister, T.R Baalu is the prime culprit in this case.
Scum like Baalu & Karunanidhi cannot be allowed to monopolize something that concerns the entire nation. Hindu nationalists need to mobilize on this issue to protect their heritage and demonstrate that they cannot be taken for granted.

It is the peaceful disposition of Hindus alone that allows the seculars to take such liberties with them; and it is very lamentable that Hindus are being left with no recourse other than mass action for their survival.

Animated Music Video of Ramayana

Here's a music video on YouTube which is set to the footage from the animated Yugo Sako Ramayana:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF04pqctocM

I thought it was quite nice how they choreographed the music to the animation. Good video editing skills, and the music was a nice fusion of classical with a modern beat.

With India's heritage in creative storytelling and mythology, it would be nice to see something beyond the Bollywood film circus which is sinking deeper into self-parody, or the Vikram Seth / Jhumpa Lahiri timepass. Now Indian Graphic Novels may be poised to move into the vacuum, and tap the interest of a large and growing youth market.
