Governance and Indian Nationalism (GAIN)

I am not a Shiv Sena empathiser nor do I approve of its recent alignment with NCP-Con to form govt in Maharashtra. In my view, SS-BJP alliance would have been the most fruitful alignment for Maharashtrians. It is now a thing of past as SS-NCP-Con are set to form govt in the state.  However, this is not an encouraging sign for Hindutva as BJP-SS parted ways in an un-amicable way which has furthered the distrust among them. If we analyse the root cause of current situation, we will be able to identify the reasons that widened the gap. Was it BJP that forced SS out or was it SS that cut out BJP? To begin with, after 2014 victory, BJP miscalculated it's existing equation with SS and erred in decision-making that irritated SS leadership. For example, facilitating a secret understanding with NCP in 2014 assembly elections but later allying with SS to retain power in the state.  BJP appointed Suresh Prabhu as railway minister, which pricked SS. Prior to Nov 2014, Su...

Since I belong to an Army background, eating non-vegetarian came naturally to me. Moreover, Army's culture of parties and intrinsic stress over non-veg eating activated my taste buds quite early in life. I am also from a Punjabi Khatri family where having non-veg is considered a matter of pride. This early conditioning towards non-vegetarianism deeply influenced my psyche which eventually became a strong barrier when I struggled to leave non-veg. I continued to relish non-veg (mainly chicken & goat mutton) till I was 21 years old; however, it was around this time that I seriously began to have second thoughts about it. It all began during a post dinner family conversation over eating habits .. whether one should eat non-veg or not. Ours is a highly religious family too, so these conversations were given equal importance. My father and brother proudly stated that, in Hinduism, Kshatriyas are allowed to eat non-veg as it helps to build aggression among them. However, I c...

Love Jihad's growing influence is indicative of a deeper level of cultural contamination that may imbalance the heterogeneous structure of Hindu society.    Increasing incidences of 'Love jihad' in India reflect a complete lack of understanding among Hindu girls about the tricks and lies leveraged by Muslims to fool them.  The fact that Muslims are using 'Love' as a tool to change the demographic equation of India is a sufficient condition for Hindu girls to reject Muslim guys. Even if Hindu girls refuse to see this propaganda, then they must utilize all resources to assess the intent of a Muslim youth.  For example, instead of falling for the trap of conversion to Islam, they could test such lovers by asking them to convert back to Hinduism.  In Muslim world, where polygamy & Talaq is a norm, re-visiting the meaning of love is important. Globally, love has a special place for everyone and is considered stronger if it is perpetual, long-lastin...

While BJP has just recently come to power on the back of popular mandate, it doesn't have much time to rest on its laurels. This is predominantly due to the extent of damage inflicted by the anti-national UPA regime over the last 10 years. For example, India faces multiple challenges on different fronts such as Economy, Defense & Security and Home & Foreign affairs.  In case of Defense, the past UPA government has considerably weakened the strength of armed forces primarily on account of lack of modernization and limited stockpile of weapons. Moreover, Congress unleashed more corruption within Army ranks which is evident by the extent of defense scams and penetration of ISI controlled drug mafias. This has led to the creation of a strong defense lobby that operates an anti-India agenda.  The recent controversy over the affidavit submitted by BJP government has not done any good either to the reputation of Government or its own MoS Gen VK Singh. While Congress dr...

Dr. Swamy, t he real anti-corruption crusader,  has not only been a vocal opponent but also the most aggressive and active fighter against the corruption of fake Gandhis. He  has been fighting a LONG battle and finally seems to be nailing t he Gandhi Dynasty which is  the fountainhead of corruption.  Despite the hiccups and multiple obstacles that were deliberately imposed by UPA and its strong team of sycophants, Dr. Swamy has managed to pull down UPA single-handedly. While many may perceive Anna's 'Lokpal movement' as a Watershed moment in India's modern history, in reality it is not so. The actual Watershed moment of the country took place on February 2, 2012, when SC cancelled all the 122 2G licenses on a petition filed by Dr. Swamy.  It was this judgement that hit the innermost core of Congress and HIT it so badly that UPA never recovered thereafter. The judgement served two main purposes, firstly, it caused an irreparable damage to Congress led...

India is a Hindu Rashtra and those Muslims, who do not accept their Hindu ancestry, should be first stripped off their voting rights. And even then, if they don't make amends, then they should be asked to pack their bags and sold to Sheikhs as slaves. That is the ideal treatment for these Traitors. Germany's 50% population is Christian, still the government calls the country as a Christian nation. Then what is wrong in India (with 75% Hindus) calling itself a Hindu nation. Hindus should not be shy of calling India a Hindu nation because the majority is Hindus. Those who want to live by the Western defined concepts of secularism will not be able to save themselves from the Islamic onslaught which is just round the corner. One must also understand that moderate/modern Muslim is an oxymoron.  Every Hindu must learn from the history of Jews and if they don't do so, then that day is not far when Hindus will be running away from their one and only homeland to other countri...

Shri A.K. Antony February 26, 2014 Minister of Defence South Block, New Delhi Dear Shri Antony: Enclosed is a copy of a news item from the Feb 22nd Hindustan Times, Delhi Edition, that states the French police had arrested Dassault Aviation Head for a bribery charge. Dassault has entered into a controversial deal to sell Rafael fighter jets for the IAF. Since this news item brings prima facie the issue of a scam in the Rafael deal also, I urge you to put the deal on a hold till the Defence Ministry gets the full details, and takes a view on whether the deal should reacclosure or not. Yours Sincerely Subramanian Swamy
