It is now clear that the Communal Socialists in the media would not rest till the phrases “Hindu Terrorism”, “Hindutva Terrorism” and “Hindu Terrorists” gain enough currency to completely dilute India’s War on Terror and strategic response to Terrorism that swears by Islam and Jihad.
It is disturbing to note that some who swear by Hindu Dharma are relishing the currency these phrases are gaining.
It is disturbing not only because they maybe condoning terrorism but more importantly because of their lack of intellectual clarity that makes them succum to the media’s Orwellian tactics.
Here is why the application of these phrases is patently wrong.
Reason #1 – To date there is not even a shred of evidence to conclude that there is a conspiracy to commit acts of Terror by any organization let alone one that swears by Hindutva
Reason #2 -Even if we were to indulge the theory floated in the media?to date there is?no factual basis to establish that those who have committed these acts of Terror ?have sought moral sanction from Hindu Dharma
It is critical to make this important distinction
- There is a variety of Terrorism that swears by tenets of Islam and goes to great length to quote from the Quran and Hadiths to seek moral sanction for its actions
- It does not exclusively target one community and is generally secular in its choice of victims
To date we have not been presented with any claims of responsibility by anyone by claiming moral sanction from any tenets of Dharma or any remotely hindu oriented doctrine of ancient or modern origin.
If anything that can be told of these acts of terror in Malegaon and Modass it is that they were targetted at areas with a high probability that the victims would be Muslim.
Offstumped Bottomline: Hence the correct phrase to describe these acts of Terror would be “Anti-Muslim” terrorist acts and those who have committed these to be “Anti-Muslim” terrorists. It is important to counter the media’s Orwellian bluster by exposing its intellectual skulduggery and by emphasizing intellectually sound phrases to characterize the nature of these acts.

Yoss,
I think we are banging up against a wall. I was doing research on the market caps of these big TV companies in India and their respective share holding patterns and their P & L reports.
The total market cap of NDTV is 594 Crores, Roughly 125 MN USD. But the irony is 50% is held by the promoters themselves.
Until there is a channel like FOX, i donot think these guys are going to listen
Vijay you have hit the nail on the head. It is imperative that we Hindus should have a counterveiling media force. Well one important news is NDTV and IBN are watched only by English educated in metros. So for now these guys aren’t making a huge impact they would like to make.
Slightly off topic
Mark of a great leader

BJP failed Hindus in their six long years rule. They were dreaming power is going to stay with them eternally. They did nothing to punish the Congress monarchy Bofors mafias, which is ruining the nation last four years. Vajpayee was treating Antonia Maino as Apsara from Swarga, while that barmaid was abusing Vajpayee calling him a lier, habitual lier, a mask, a nikamma, and so on.
We are crying in net or streets. Actually, there is nothing to loose for BJP leaders, whether they are in power or in opposition. They have become eaders (rightly or wrongly), enjoying Delhi’s palatial house life in posh areas. Frequently, offering some lip-sevice slogans to convince Hindus that they are their only saviours.
They simply play politics and deceive the common Hindus, who votes them. Look at the anti-Conversion laws in BJP ruled states. When they were in power both at centre and states like Rajasthan, Gujarat, they never thought of it. When they lost power in centre, these states brought laws only to play politics. This is my feeling.
Why BJP choose CNN-IBN for cash for Vote drama? Was it deliberate or they had no opition but to beg to IBN channel? Surely, they had no alternate. They never cultivated any medias. They want Hindus vote them anyhow and they enjoy luvish life in Delhi.
Vijay,
Lets remember one thing, these english media channels are watched only by people who have never gone to the voting booth. If at all some go, they are a very small fraction and i bet more than 70% of them know their games. No true hindu will ever be convinced that a hindu can be a terrorists, do hell with them. BJP is going to win, lets these guys keep trying. But you have a point, once they come to power, a FOX india has to be launched. But for now dont worry man, go to the voting booth and see who votes. Functional literacy in India is till still just 40% and it is the rest 60% that votes. They just vote on the basis of their daily lives. Unless a bomb blasts in their street they dont care. The urban voter is the only person who things beyond daily affairs and whatever the heck these guys try, the urban voter will 150% vote for the BJP only this time.
Just see how the 4 elections are going to go.
Pralay ka aagaman ho raha aur devtha bhi usko nahi rokpayenge. Modi campaign is yet to start in the 4 states and once that happens, just see the magic man. These guys will be reduced to powder.
May be of interests. Interesting article on Narendra Modi.
Why India needs Narendra Modi?

If they are from muslim community, they are misguided youths. The usual rhetoric “terrorists have no religion”. They do belong to religions, but to mask the misdeeds, they camouflage it by saying “terrorists have no religion”. They do every act by quoting from the scriptures. As yossarin said, has anybody claimed the alleged terrorist activity of hindu outfits ? Whether they have quoted from any of the hindu scriptures ? Have they done it in the name of hinduism. But the secular fundamentalists are after hindus. They have to hurl abuses so that something will stick.If anybody has indulged in any terrorist activity, he/she/they should be punished. Let them prove their innocence. But in the case of muslims all hell breaks loose. The media, the secular fundamentalists, political charlatans start screaming. Vice chancellor of university decides to defend the alleged terrorists out of the funds of the university.
But the hindus are on the receiving end the day this nation attained independence. Take the instance of Kerala where more than 60 to 70% educational institutions, including higher education, are run by minorities. The so called majority community has become a silent third in every aspect of life. Their temples are in the hands of so called dewaswom boards which are run by the minions of either the congress or communists by turn. The temples are milked dry by these anti-hindu and athiests. Is this secularism ? Taking over by force the religious places by the so called secular governments have become the order of the day. They overcharge for the electricity, transportation services, water, medical facility to the pilgrims. But provide subsidy to pilgrims for the minority community.
The other day the woman belonging to Criminal Party of India called the entire hindu community as fundamentalists. Now the media, congress and the secular sadists have started calling hindus as terrorists. They have already labelled hindus as fascists, fundamentalists. Have they got any further words in their dictionaries to hurl abuses on hindus.
Accuse hindus, forcibly take over their temples and loot them, handover their offerings to the minority communities, treat hindus as second or third class citizens, allow aliens to come over to India and settle down, keep silent when hindu religion, their Gods and Goddesses are abused by painting or writing books, aver their Gods/sacred books are myths, that is secularism in India.
There may be more to come. For example photographs may surface that show the arrested people in the company of BJP leaders. That could be taken as proof of conspiracy at many circles befitting a trial at the Hague.
Modi handled Godhra, post-Godhra, and post-2002 vilification of the entire Hindu community of Gujarat splendidly to come up trumps in 2007. I doubt if the BJP national leadership has the same calibre to face this challenge. There are several talking points – the speed at which this Melagaon blast was cracked compared to the absolute inaction following repeated blasts all across India, the very real sense of outrage Hindus felt at being repeatedly targeted, and the ignominy of secularists always at a rush to create justifications for those bombings – one editor wrote a piece in a foreign journal following the 2005 Mumbai train bombings to say that the bombs targeted upper class coaches that ‘Gujaratis’ travel in.
I am sure most people already see this in the complete context, just like the gujaratis did. It would only take some guts and sense on the part of the BJP to channelise that. But given their new secular ways, I doubt if BJP central leadership is upto the task now.
Did you hear the latest. They will not pay veterans of armed forces. But they will pay for Haj Subsidy and Bethlehem subsidy.
This SOnia Maino is a terrible disease
Enough of this. Its time that hurting anti-majority(anti-hindus) is also made a lucrative career. At least BJP ruled states should use a section tax payer money to help build such careers. Some communities that currently have both power & money can take the lead. Gather all real, useful journalists and reporters under one umbrella to start a channel or at least a 30-min program. Many people are doing great work on the internet, Its time we move onto MSM too. Even Pranay Roy initially started out with a 30-min “world this week”. We have to begin somewhere small. Fighting directly against en-trenched establishment is hard and foolish. Is somebody already doing this ?. I am sure we can get airtime and people if we can thrown in money, Come on! even evangelicals are getting air time, what are we doing. Why cant we create programs that go under the secular Indian banner but give coverage only to Hindus. They can show how Hindu temples are being looted, Hindu human rights being abused etc etc in vivid documentaries on public television without ever explicitly using words christian, Muslim, Islam, Xtianity etc etc. Once we gain some ground, we can move up the ladder.
Can we approach the Dainik Jagaran group to start their own Hinglsih 24×7 news channel? Can’t imagine it would be that costly to lease a transponder these days. The vernacular media is followed by aam aadmi, aam voter and is much more factual and nationalistic than the angrezi dhimmedia.
I imagine there’s serious demand out there for an unapologetically nationalist news channel that isn’t apeing western values, tastes or interests but is instead rooted in Indic values and looks out first and foremost for Indian interests above all else.
Imagine having talk shows featuring Shourie, jaitely, LKA, NM, Chandan Mitra, Swapan da and other nationalists (who we may not even know about yet) on a regular basis? Imagine telling it like it is, w/o political spin. Imagine the heartburn among psec dhimmedia and their attack tactics, controversy and muck-racking that will follow. Wow. If any businessman worth his salt is listening, this is a chance waiting to be taken.
JMTs etc.
I agree Hindu Terrorism is not rooted in theological/ideological justification as muslim/christian/communist trrorisms are. However, since when has having such justification become a prerequisite for a terrorist act to be called a terrorist act? I’d define terrorism as follows:
1. It is violence directed against random, innocent people
2. It is not a “crime of passion”; the perpetrators commit their murders in cold blood, with elaborating planning, and far from ever expressing any remorse, they believe they have done something “right”. (the vermin caught for Guj blasts flashed v sign in courts)
Note that motivations and objectives are irrelevant to this definition, though granted theologically inspired terrorisms, such as the muslim/leftist/christian variants, are the deadliest.
Is there an alternative to the pseudo-secular,anti-majority , Islamic terror supporting mainstream media?
Why not RSS or other organizations fund for nationalistic and patriotic national channels?
Why not take these pseudo secular intellectuals propaganda day- in and day- out for the last 4- yrs?
I think RSS which has a pan – national presence should collect funds from hindu – pilgrim centres like Sabarimala and Tirupati and other hindu pilgrim centres and also make aware of the innocent hindus that they will either have to be slaves under Islamic or Christian Rule for their ostrich like attitude.
