lets see if this goes now.
Also: If RSS chief is really interested in uniting Hindus he should go to
Kamakhya temple etc and order priests to enrol Dalits as interns (to become
future temple priests there ) with RSS paying their expenses. Same with
Shankaracharyas in various other temples.
I wonder how a religion can have imperialist designs - only humans can.

Thwart fundamentalist activities in NE, says RSS chief
By A Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Dec 10 RSS chief KS Sudarshan today called upon the people of the
North-east to unite against imperialistic designs of the Christian church as
also the Muslim fundamentalists who had set their eyes on the region to further
their plans for dominance of their religions. Both the Christian church and
the Muslim fundamentalists are engaged in an aggressive pursuit of their evil
designs of imperialism across the world, and the Northeast happens to be an
important area of their focus due to its strategic location, Sudarshan said
while addressing a Prabuddha Nagarik Sanmilan (Enlightened Citizens Meet) at
the District Library auditorium.
Terming the unabated infiltration from Bangladesh, increasing activities of the
church aimed at spreading Christianity, and the growing consumerism among the
people as the major problems faced by the country, Sudarshan said that only a
united front from the people could defeat such evil forces.
DN Bezboruah, former editor of The Sentinel, in his speech, said that
infiltration from Bangladesh was the result of inaction on the part the elected
representatives of the State since 1962. We cannot blame others for the
problem created by us, because our own leaders consistently deceived the people
on the Bangladeshi issue for their narrow vote bank politics that is determined
by the illegal foreign settlers, he said.
Terming India as the only country where the majority is rendered second class
citizens due to the unabashed minority-appeasement policy of the governments,
Bezboruah said that even hard facts and data about the status of the Muslim
minority (i.e. their abnormal increase in population) were sought to be brushed
under the carpet for upholding the so-called secularism. Only yesterday even
the Prime Minister spoke about minorities having the first rights over the
countrys resources, he said, adding that the state of affairs in Asom where
the Bangladeshis are the first class citizens best sums up the situation.
Stating that the prevailing situation did not hint at a healthy democracy in
the country, Bezboruah said that the time had come for all the Hindus to unite,
discarding their differences on grounds of caste. Nowhere in the world can one
witness such blatant appeasement of the minorities to the extent that the
majority is in grave danger of losing their identity. The only way out of this
morass is a united stand by the Hindus, he said.
DN Chakravorty, editor of Dainik Asam, was of the view that the openness of the
Hindu religion was being taken advantage of by outsiders, putting in jeopardy
in the process the very existence of the indigenous population. The need of
the hour is to have unity, uplift and understanding among the Hindus, he said.
Chakravorty also advocated a policy for separate electorate for the Urdu- and
Bangla-speaking Muslims on the basis of the 1947 population status who would be
electing their own representatives.
Chakravorty also lambasted the ULFA for their pro-Bangladeshi stand and termed
its leaders as traitors. Ridiculing the outfits call for boycott of the
forthcoming National Games in Asom and its demand to name the event as Asom
Games, he said that there should be a limit to ones absurdity. The ULFA is
agreeable to funds for the Games coming from the Centre but at the same time
demanding a change of name to Asom, which is simply ludicrous, he said.
Former State Chief Secretary JP Rajkhowa stressed the need for stern opposition
to the move of some minority organisations to bring in a clone of the IM (DT)
that would be applicable to the entire country following the Supreme Courts
repeal of the IM (DT) and the Foreigners (Tribunal) Order. All political
partiers and organizations of the State should evolve a common stand to thwart
this sinister design, he said.
