Chowkidars,

Kyaa hua? Double posting of entire pages of interacts and now this, re-posting what has already been posted.

Remember the time when you posted an article three times in a row and our one and only Wisdom of the East aka Farzana complained about a conspiracy to move her article to the archives?

Whatever it is, I hope you aren`t turning to El Shrinko for treatment of your loss of memory. You want to see a neurologist, not a psychopath, for that.

Gowardhan,Jay,

is this the sophisticated ancient religion of tolerence ,in which Gandhi found solace or the sharade of non violence is just another feather bought & pinned like another activism button on south asian acticivists lapel??

Man sacrifices son for supernatural powers

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Chennai, Sep 3



A 46-year-old self-styled `godman`beheaded his son in a gory occult ritual early Monday in the belief that he will propitiate the Gods and gain supernatural powers.

Police arrested Chandrasekharan, who was holding his son Shanmuga Sundaram`s (20) head and chanting hymns while sitting in front of portraits of Gods after chopping it off with a sword.

Earlier, on hearing the cries of the boy, Chandrasekharan`s wife and mother-in-law tried to rescue him but were attacked with sword in their house.

They were admitted to the Stanley Medical college hospital with injuries on their hands.

Police said Chandrasekharan confessed to having killed his son as he had dreamt that he would gain supernatural powers if he did so.

A case of murder has been registered against him.

Chadrasekharan has two other sons and a daughter.

Bapu,

That is too horrible for words. Probably this guy went bonkers like the Ukranian fellow who killed his entire family some days ago and has lately been in constantly in the news here in the states. But still, the fact that someone could use any religious excuse for such monstrosity is sickening....

Shame shame and more shame on these Indians!

But just wait. Can you see difference. In India these people are caught and put behind bars but in your great country, they are set free to indulge in sectarian violence and are called defenders of faith, fidayeen, jihadis, freedom fighters and their parents who send their sons for such suicides are honoured. None of them are put behind bars neither those who kill nor those who act as agent provocateur.

Now, since you are an intelligent youngman, I am sure you can see the difference.

Have a sunny day.

If India arrested all culprits why culprits of Babri masjid demolition ,Sikh riots of 84 ,Bombay riots of 92-93 ,are never prosecuted?

If it was not for ILYAS ABBASI ,working on Z t.v. counterpart of Americas Most Wanted you would have had even less prosecution.Are you suggesting Indias prosecution & case solved % is BETTER THAN USA .And you have no idea about Pakistans prosecution.Laws may not be same ,but illegal action is punished better in Pakistan than tehar Jail in which international criminal SHOBH RAJ ,held birth day parties with ever over supply of Prostitutes & then just walked out to freedom to enjoy life in Paris after dozen murders .

You have NO CHANCE debating as far indias loop holes are concerned .

Debating with you?

What an insult for me!

I was only trying to put some sense in the head of a person `jisne aqal vech ke pattisa kha leya.`

My dear Child, please check out I never said India is heaven but in comparison to its neighbours, well modesty stops me from saying anything further.

Since, you are an extremely ill-mannered kid, I say Bye Bye to you now.

Keep scoring imaginary wins.
