In Defense Of Hindus

Western media have embarked upon a crusade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Hindus. I use the word “crusade” because the campaign has been led by Western journalists, aided and abetted by the pseudo secular Indian press, who color their reporting with their Christian bias. Although the media have long been biased against Hindus, their bias has become particularly pernicious since Modi campaigned to become prime minister. In their hit pieces, the media refer to Modi and the BJP as “Hindu nationalist.” Why isn’t the Republican Party the “Christian nationalist party” or Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush “Christian nationalists”? In 2005, the U.S. denied Modi a visa for violations of religious freedom stemming from the 2002 Hindu-Muslim riots in Gujarat. The New York Times published an article entitled, “U.S. Evangelicals, Indian Expats Teamed Up to Push Through Modi Visa Ban,” in which the author admitted to having witnessed U.S. evangelical Christians spearheading the effort to deny Modi the visa despite his having been exonerated by the Indian Supreme Court. The media, however, have ignored the religiously motivated machinations of Christian evangelicals in denying Modi the visa. Recent articles about attacks on Christians in India are nothing more than Christian propaganda masquerading as journalism. The New York Times editorial board, in peddling this propaganda, wrote an editorial entitled, “Modi’s Dangerous Silence,” in which it accused Hindus of attacking Christians in India. Its proof? “Last December, St. Sebastian’s Church in East Delhi was engulfed in fire. Its pastor reported a strong smell of kerosene after the blaze was put out.” How do they know this was arson? Even if it was arson, how do they know it was committed by Hindu groups? If a temple in the U.S. now burns down, it must be arson committed by militant Christians? What is dangerous is not Modi’s silence but the baseless and inflammatory accusations being hurled at Hindus by Christians. Christians are outraged over the mass conversions being conducted by “hard-line Hindu nationalist groups.” While the media bemoan these “reconversions,” they forget to express outrage over the forced conversions of millions of Hindus by Christians. The media have ignored the Hindus’ complaints about evangelical Christians traveling from afar to target poor Hindus for conversion through deceptive and predatory tactics under the guise of charitable works. Christians, ironically, are trying to block the passage of an anti-conversion law in India. Apparently, Christians are proconversion so as long as they are the ones doing the converting. The media should be ashamed for allowing themselves to be used as the mouthpiece of Christian fanatics. The lies and distortions spread by the media have even reached President Obama. Obama, during the National Prayer Breakfast, invoked Mahatma Gandhi in saying he would be shocked at the “acts of intolerance” in India. Gandhi would be shocked at the acts of intolerance, but not by the Hindus. It would be by the Christians … or, perhaps not. Gandhi said: “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

ചക്രം ഇല്ലാത്ത വണ്ടി വലിക്കുന്ന

കാലുകള്‍ ഇല്ലാത്ത കാളകള്‍ അല്ലെ ജീവിതം !

അങ്ങേ തലക്കല്‍ ആരും ഇല്ലാത്ത വടതേല്‍

ആവേശതോടെ വലിച്ചു ചാവുന്നു നാം.

വാതില്‍ കാക്കും വയസന്‍ പട്ടിയുടെ കുര പോലെ വയസന്‍ കാലം.

പിടിക്കാന്‍ ആവാത്ത കാലത്തെ ഓര്‍ത്തു കരഞ്ഞു കവിത രചിച്ചു സുഖിച്ചു.

പിന്നെ ഇ മലയാളി എഡിറ്റ്‌ആരെ ചീത്ത വിളിച്ചു, കമന്റുകള്‍ എഴുതിയവരെ F B I കു റെഫര്‍ ചെയ്തു.

മനുഷ മനസ്സില്‍ മാറ്റം വരുത്താന്‍ കഴിയാത്ത രജന വെറും പൊള്ള വാക്കുകള്‍ .

ആര്‍കും വേണ്ടാത്ത കവിത - വലിച്ചെറിയു ചപ്പു കൂനയില്‍.
