I Spy Hindutva

Vaibhab,
You can derive positive energy or negative energy from looking back to your history. The saffronisation (so called) does not create negative energy ( destructive) like Islam creates amongst muslims. You will find large number of mosques and madressahs associated with terrorist activities accross the world.
Positive energy can be brought with proper history.R K Mission, Satya Sai Institute, Arya Samaj, Mata Amritanandamayee have demonstrated that in India. I am sure, they provide one of the best academic environment in India. ISKCON, Art of Living, R K Mission serves people worldwide.

Harishbhai,

I think I framed my words badly. What I meant was that I had never abused any chowkie on chowk. So with suitable amendments #124 stands.

Regards

Bhoots (esp of undesirable people) ain't allowed to become chowk members.

There you go Majumdar bhai! See, it took just a couple of posts for you to do the exact opposite of what you were saying earlier :-P

Sanatani, Vengat...
"Also if we have to fight this sort of casteism (I believe in caste but not caste pride and esp not one that is detrimental to any other caste) it has to be done by religous or cultural groups and not by so-called progressives."

Ans: The very purpose of caste is not applicable now. So, the caste identity should be abolished. I prefer the way South Indians represents themselves. Name+Father Name+Village Name. This is very good. Some caste groups are now in socially disadvantegious position. Special positive discrimination should be provided to them such that they can compete in all sphere of life they wish.
I Bengal, caste system has become irrelevant. The brahmins enjoys no special status for being a brahmin.

Tata to invest in Bd...

Ans: This is nice opinion Mr. Ahmedmadani. China and Pakistan had opposed the very concept of a country called Bangladesh and right to use their mothertongue. And Bangladesh should promote Chinese and Pakistani companies!!!

Re: # 105
Sanatani..

Problem with RSS...
Ans: RSS has no problem. It sometimes try to create uniform Indian identity, which is mostly Ram centric. Lord Ram do not have pan-Indian appeal.So, outside cow belt. It is very thin. Dalits and SCs were kept out of any religious activities. So, they are also not keen to join RSS (though RSS new feels the need to include them enmass).

Harishbhai,

Bhoots (esp of undesirable people) ain't allowed to become chowk members.

Majumdar,

See Harish ...He's pushed you to a tight corner...LOL

#124 by majumdar

To tell you the truth I dont think I have abused anyone on chowk (hopefully).

Majumdar bhai, Bapuji is asking if he isn't a part of Chowk? ;-)

Vengy Garu,

Err... yes. But with so many multi nics sprouting all over the place mainly with the object of abusing people and derailing discussions, thought best to clarify matters.

Re: # 124

Maju Anna,

I know you haven't abused anybody on chowk...It was for fun...

Re: # 114
There is nothing monolithic in Sanatan dharma. I am sure, the prohibited list defers from region to region and sage to sage.

Vengy Garu,

(Dint see you for a few days or you were on another nic abusing me? )

On weekends I dont appear on chowk 'cos my wife does not approve of chowking. Mon and Tues I was away on an official trip.

No I haven't been abusing you with another nic. To tell you the truth I dont think I have abused anyone on chowk (hopefully).

Regards

@ Ananth07

well, each to his view.
Personally, I find Girilalji's scope of ethnicity and culture quite baffling.
But his writing basically highlights one of the main ideological agendas of Hindutva; that of needlessly drawing inspiration from archaic events/stories/notions and neglecting/misrepresenting immediate history.

Re: # 120

Maju Anna,

I thought you've been banned from writing on chowk...:) Dint see you for a few days or you were on another nic abusing me?
