I knew Gandhi better than most because he opened his real FANGS to me and I could see the inside of the man. If I DISLIKE him, it is because I LOVE India more. - BR Ambedkar

A secular State has NO business running Madrassas and at long last, here is a Chief Minister daring to implement true Secularism and not the pseudo variety we have been fed on for decades.

"Hindus should keep rice and Christians incense, for their last rites. You can live in our land if you live decently, and if you don't, we know how to deliver Azadi!"
This is what this little Muslim boy is chanting at a rally in Kerala, God's own country.

Madrassa, the word itself, should cease to exist. Teach Quran at home, for hours, if you want, but at school a child deserves to be taught science and maths. In fact, for a child to be admitted to a madarasa is a violation of his human rights:

For to say India is not a nation, is to deny and wipe out our 5000 year old history. For me - and I say it with pride - India is above Modi, but if you were to tell Sonia or Rahul that India is above them you’ll be kicked out of Congress there & then: .

The more worrying part of Rahul Gandhi's speech was not his stupid assertion that India is not a nation, it was his claim that, with the country now doused in kerosene, all you need is a spark. What is he planning?
This man is not dumb, he is dangerous.

Rahul Gandhi is either completely dumb or comfortably numb when he peddles this Leftist semantic drivel that India is not a nation.
India has been described as a nation multiple times in our Constitution, most prominently in our Preamble itself & under our Fundamental duties.

Rushdie's Satanic Verses named whores on the prophet's wives, called him false, his companions bums, Allah a destroyer, Mecca Jahilia.
If you stood with him and his right to free speech, how can you celebrate Ratan Lal's arrest? No double standards.

31 years ago almost to the day, May 21, 1991, a suicide bomber garlanded Rajiv Gandhi and detonated herself. The Prime minister could be identified later only through his shoes.
Here is CM felicitating the man who supplied the batteries for that very bomb.

Seeing many angry Hindus retaliating to crass jokes and sexual innuendos on the Shivling, with crude images of Islamic figures and shrines. Don't. They will be safe but you will be chased by a mob baying for your blood like what happened in Hubli and then killed. So please don't.

Mathura's Kesavadeva temple. Aurangzeb demolished it & built an Idgah atop. This blistering book by Dr Meenakshi Jain provides the intellectual thrust for reclaiming it.

This is the easiest of the three to adjudicate on. Ample evidence exists to confirm, that Aurangzeb ordered demolition of the Mathura temple, that he ordered the Idgah to be built over it, and that he ordered the idols to be broken and fixed into the steps of the Jahanara masjid.

“No place of worship that has been usurped or built upon another place of worship shall be allowed to be used as one unless its ownership is rightfully settled in a court of law.”
This according to me should be the real Places of Worship Act. As simple as that. Single sentence.

I confess I didn't know till last week that Gyanvapi was in constant use. I thought with its history of unimaginable cruelty being meted out to Hindus & their most revered God, the State as well as the Muslim community would have sealed and barred its use. Incredible provocation.

He heard their cries he heard their call
He lived through it he saw it all
But not a whisper not a groan
Life he knew was but on loan
And then, after centuries of pain
When his moment of joy came
He saw them claim
It was just a fountain

His legs buckled his eyes wet
Carved in stone but heart beset
He sat outside with perked up ears
Waiting patiently for 400 years
He saw the monster and his hordes
Charge his lord with rusted swords
He saw them wash he saw them spit
In those waters of the pit...

Claiming a broken fountain as a #Shivling , reminds me of a Bollywood movie, "Oh, my God".

Tamilians owe a special thanks to Chhatrapati Shivaji. When he learnt that the famous Shiva temple at Tiruvannamalai had been demolished and a mosque built over it, he went over and promptly demolished the mosque and restored the temple to its full glory. ia601703.us.archive.org/2/items/dli.er

Climbing the steps of Agra’s Jahanara Masjid, Asif squeezed Sultan’s upper arm and cried: “Look below, under your feet, at the scattered idols from the Mathura Keshavdev Temple - I could have sworn they stirred! Perhaps they too have heard the news coming in from Kashi.”

Sir, when the ineffective & feeble State does act, eminent warriors like you call it the "mirror image of terrorists"; you don't want 370 abrogated; and when it doesn't, you endorse coup fables; you cheer anarchists, and you support their illegal blockades that seed terror. WDTT

News just in says NIA has found RDX and thinks this bus ferrying Vaishnodevi pilgrims was attacked by terrorists using IED.
Four devotees were burnt to death including a three year-old. Do you know their names? No? Good. It only means you are an Indian. Carry on with your lives.

Sikandar Shah Miri (1389-1413) who commissioned Jamia Masjid & is still eulogised in Kashmir, collected 3 khirwars, or 210 kilograms, of sacred thread from Kashmiri Hindus & burnt them. A single sacred thread weighs 7 grams.
Time hasn't healed anything. The suffering continues.

The parallel being drawn between Sri Lanka and India and the scaremongering on account of it, is illogical and ridiculous, and most probably the work of a toolkit prepared by a Modi-hating lunatic.

Agree. Kashmir Files, released on March 11, 2022, is responsible for ‘Run, Convert, or Die’ being relayed from Mosques on Jan 19, 1990; for rice laced with BK Ganjoo’s blood being fed to his wife on March 17, 1990; for Girija Tickoo being raped and sawed alive on June 25, 1990.

Very true. Except that Germans forbade any marked grave for Hitler. They even removed tombstones from the graves of his parents so that people do not pay a visit and pray. But here in India we allow praying and worshipping a monster hundred times more evil than Hitler. WDTT
