'Secularists' see Poverty on Communal Lines
Amba Charan Vashishth
The interim order given by the Supreme Court of India to 4 percent reservation in jobs to ‘backward classes of Muslims' given by the Andhra Pradesh government has unleashed a wave of jubilation among the self-claimed ‘secularists' and a minority section of the people although the matter has finally to be heard by a larger bench for final verdict on its constitutional validity. The Supreme Court is the final arbiter in interpretation of the word and spirit of th...

Nostradamus Debunked
 Dr. Koenraad Elst
Are Nostradamus' predictions true? Why, they aren't predictions in the first place, and neither were they written by him. Here my discussion of Prof. Cambier's book debunking Nostradamus, originally posted to a Hindu web forum in 2005. Many Hindus with their soft corner for astrology and other forms of divination believe that there is something to the "predictions" of Nostradamus (1503-66, hereafter ND), witness e.g. the book "Hindu Destiny in Nostradamus" by G.S. ...

Kancha Ilaiah's Post-Hindu India should be essential reading for all who get panicky about Mayawati's brand of Dalit politics. Unlike the bsp supremo's bid to empower marginalised groups through the levers of electoral democracy by wooing a wider ‘sarvajan samaj', Ilaiah wants to launch an all-out civil war between Dalit Bahujans and Hindu society. This is an angry, provocative book written by a leading Dalit thinker, who is convinced that Hinduism is the root of all evil in the country. Indeed, virtually every sentence here drips with venom against Hindu society, underlining ...

| The Intellectual Dishonesty of Pseudo Secularists | The Intellectual Dishonesty of Pseudo Secularists
Dev Nadkarni
India's pseudo secular brigade is at it again. Artist M. F. Husain's decision to accept citizenship from the Middle Eastern state of Qatar and live there has them raving and ranting against the Hindu majority, blaming it squarely for forcing him out of the country. It beggars belief that these left leaning so called liberals can't see the fact that it is the tradition of tolerance that is deeply embedded in Indian culture that gives them the very voice they use to criticise everything innately Indian, such as Hindu culture and social mores, with such impunity that borders on inte...
