Instead of being worried about fate of 'Scheduled Castes' in India & elections in Kashmir, General Pervez Musharraf should worry about elections in Pakistan which are increasingly looking like a joke.
What should be of concern is other states following suit and enacting separate laws to suit the political environment of respective states citing the Punjab bill as a precedent.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
BJP has no dynastic succession, at least not at the top. You can trace this back to Vajpayee-Advani era. This act of spotting, empowering younger talent is even more striking with the choice of BJP presidents.
Culture, society,duties,nationalism, sense of pride these are the words that we Indians who were ruled by the congresis are not aware of. Basically we don’t understand all this rubbish. We understand nepotism, corruption, appeasement, slavery, which were embedded by the so called great leaders of post independence era. So now when somebody talks about sense of nationalism and society we are the first one who heckle s him. Look at Israel, Japan, Singapore then u will understand what does these words mean.
Very thought provoking article. I agree what Dr Hilal is saying in his article. RSS has never believed in our constitution, national flag and so on but their own saffron flag and dream to change the constitution. They cannot do it, ours is a multicultural society and we indians have a tendency to respect every culture. Our culture does not teach us to hate but to accept and respect the other culture. I disagree on one point, RSS more particularly after 1984, openly asked for militarization of all hindus against alien religions. Shah bano movement and ram janam bhumi issues provided them fertile ground. I am a nationalist, but not on the lines RSS defines nationalism, I support india will can be a vishv guru, but certainly not on the lines RSS borrowed nationalism lines. We indians have a rich tradition to accommodate and respect various cultures, second we did not fight independence movement based on the skin or color or the British, but our fight was based on principles. We are not racist. We love each other. We have to leave RSS kind of nationalism from our day to day life, it will only bring hatred, violence and destroy our civic life. Remember the past of a beautiful country Shree Lanka. Third many countries got disintegrated, but India stood firm, although many writers of 50s, 60, used to believe india is going to face a disintegration and many states will separate itself from indian union, this did not happen and will not, reason is, we respect various cultures, languages, religions and so on. India will teach the world how to live in diversity, how to respect diversity and how to accommodate diversity. The concept of vish guru comes from this very concept. Talking about military training to citizens, fake nationalism, and spreading hatred by using various symbols will only destroy our real values that is love, care and respect of every culture.
if congress has any brains they should say that if we r elected to power first thing we ll do is abolish Income tax and Modi s finished…..cos Subramaniam Swamy has d most superior brains as an economist n if he s saying this I believe him but Modi s ignoring it is becos Subramaniam Swamy ll walk away with d name…..Arun Jaitley is d most miserable fellow of all seasons….he has never won an election cos he is n egoist n also not a large hearted giver like Subramaniam Swamy…..
does Rahul Gandhi understand anything what this great person who s a veteran of many a issues of this Country….what does Rahul Gandhi want for India ….is he a patriot….does he love India remotely….he s surround by a few woman coterie who is handling his affairs like a college campus electioneering with all young giggling girls like Priyanka Chaturvedi and road side Spandana etc
According to the article, RSS is separate from average Indian society? Are Swayam sevaks more virtuous and competent than an ordinary Indian citizen? How is NCC inferior than RSS in Discipline, the Indian armed forces impart training to NCC in school & colleges, is this training in anyways inferior to the training given at RSS Shakhas? Bhagats idea of Indian society is too fragmented. It seems RSS have now hired services of people like you to rational foolish statements from their top brass.

So, without RSS saying anything, NCC training is imparted to willing citizens by the Same Army.. and that’s OK. But just because RSS utters a word , same NCC like training become Fascist?
After all he is not saying Citizens should be forced or Unconstitutionally trained, nor trained as/ or by a private army.
Militarisation of the public will lead to Yemen and iraq.like situations.rss is facist to the core.
Even if you don’t train Yeman situation is coming fast , pandits out from Kashmir scenario is being created in many parts of India ,police can’t save from Muslim love for voilence and religious intolerance for others ,so it is better to get ready. Otherwise Hindus will be Yazidies.
If Mohanji is blamed by Rahul and his ilk, then i think Rahul should be answering for the anti party rants of his mentor and party leader Mani shankar that too in Pakistani soil.
If he gets so much love there and hatred in India , then he better stay in Pakistan permanently and then see the enge in treatment he gets. He does not know that he is just a tool in their hands and would be discarded once the utility is over
Bhagwat has National interest uppermost in his mind .The RSS is a cultural, highly disciplined organisation whose main objective is Nation building. They have rendered yeomen services during India-China and India-Pakistan wars, sacrificed many of their cadres in the process, they have also done commendable work during National disasters and natural calamities like earthquakes, floods, famines etc. They are only next to the Indian Armed Forces in protecting the borders. Against this background Bhagavat is absolutely right in making this statement

What is wrong in military training to youngsters. It does not mean you are going against the principles of constitution. Like any other field, military is a field in the society. If a person goes through a year of military training, he can be of use anytime in his lifetime.
If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.

Someone rightly said, Mankind must end wars before the wars end mankind. Today’s war mongers must realize that jingoism leads to destruction only.
