Dear Goanetters The Indian Government has pumped in billions of tax payers money to fight Terrorists, Jihadis, Maoists, Naxalites, North-East Rebels but nothing is being done to fight the Hindutvawadis ( RSS, VHP, BAJRANGDAL, SHIVSENA, etc.) why this hypocricy..
The Hindutvawadis are masquerading as Hindu cultural groups when the fact is whatever the Hindutvawadis are doing is based on the Manuals of Nazism. Just as for the Nazis, the Jews were a great threat, so the Hindutvawadis considers the Muslims, Christians, Dalits, Tribals, Socialists, Communists and modern Hindus a great threat. The Hindutvawadis definition of Nation, is not acceptable. It is monocultural negating other religions and people. The struggle between the Brahminical forces under the disguise of Hindu nationalism on the one hand and the dream of an egalitarian, pluralistic and democratic Indian State and society on the other hand, will determine the direction and the destiny of the Indian State and society. The Hindutvawadis have a wide network in cities and towns of India. Why is it that the Hindutvawadis are not attacking Slumlords, land mafia, corrupt ward officers in Muncipalities. Many Politicians and IAS/IPS officers have accumulated lot of wealth through corrupt activities. Why is it that the Hindutvawadis are not attacking corrupt politicians and corrupt ias/ips officers. Many farmers and tribals have lost their land & livelihood due to the land acquisition policy. Why is it that the Hindutvawadis are not opposing the Land acquisition policy. In Kandhmal the Maoists gunned down one Hindu Swami and took full responsibility for killing of the swami. But instead of attacking the Maoists the Hindutvawadis attacked Christians. Would the Hindutvawadis dare to attack the Christians if like the Maoists the Christians were also armed with guns and bombs. Just because the attacks on christians and vanalization of churches in orissa, karnataka, maharashtra, madhya pradesh, etc has stopped or subsidized that does not mean the Christians should rejoice. After the calm there will be storm.. But blaming the Hindutvawadis for all the problems that Christians face in India will not be justified because the Christian missionaries due to their fraudulent conversion activities are giving an opportunity to the Hindutvawadis to attack Christians. How nice it would have been if the Christian Missionaries had utilized their foreign funds for the benefit of poor-christians instead of utilizing the foreign funds to serve poor-non christians with an intent of fraudulently converting them. How nice it would have been if the Clergy had utilized the church assets/resources/properties for the benefit of poor christian parishioners instead of misusing church assets/resources/properties. How nice it would have been if Christian schools/colleges/institutions had reserved 30% seats for poor Christians. How nice it would have been if Christian Hospitals & Charitable Institutions had served poor christians. Majority of the Christians in India are poor but nobody cares for Poor Christians. May God help poor christians in India.
