| The Modern Day Robert Clive ... |
Editorial: The Modern Day Robert Clive ...
The story is not new. It has been happening for centuries. Foreigners’ obsessive inclination in exposing India’s woes has always had the support of “deshi” connivers who were more than ready to oblige them. Earlier the missionaries did it to justify conversions and Britishers practiced it to rationalize their ‘civilizing mission’. Now they are coming back in new forms.

A considerable section of the international community, not only in India or the other neighboring countries, but also in other parts of the world is busy in making merriment over the stunning triumph of progressive and secular forces in the land of Bangladesh.

Law Should Liberate, Not Enslave
Jurisdiction of court is like that of constructor of a building which has either perfection or many defects. The final word of posterity is dependent upon the skill and calibre of builder who may heartily desire to build up it like expert builders with architectonic virtues to amend or/and add some material both by method and uniformity and if the structure itself does not found ventilation for the want of windows and lake of sufficient light or other deficiency in the architecture, whatsoever, ...

A video <
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l6nFYwYPnc&feature=related >
labeled “Spiritual attack against Hindu God by a young Australian Hindu
girl with Indian background who converted to Islam” is doing the rounds
on the internet. It shows a girl in Islamic hijab, claiming to be Hindu
of Indian background, breaks with a hammer, a clay idol of Lord Ganesha
with a background of chanting of what seem to me to be Koranic verses.
