Being A Non-Hindu Is Good For The Environment In India!

It may never be too late to mention the Sethursamudram Project, to link the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar. Because the forces who want it, despite the end users and the environmentalists saying it would be a disaster, are still at work. From my recent talks with a colleague, I understand it is DMK chief Karunanidhi's personal ego that is making him push for the project. That is what today's democracy is for you. Even if it means wholesale death and destruction, a megalomaniac masquerading as a popular leader can do whatever he wants to!

The Sethusamudram Project will be an environmental disaster, will cost a bomb to maintain and will be of no real use as a shipping lane. Still we are spending crores on it on a daily basis. The fact that it would hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus hasn't been taken into account either. Just imagine, if it was the religious sentiment of the Muslims or Christians the project would not even have seen the light of the day. The same would have happened if it was a really good project, unlike this one is. That is secularism for you!

Just one question: is being a Muslim or a Christian good for the environment in India?!

God Works, Through Radical Muslim Youth, This Time!

The hunt for fake godmen that has intensified over the last few weeks in Kerala is something that should be sustained. I had read a few years back about some great sage, forgot who it was, saying the fake godmen are the scum of Indian society and when the society starts to become dynamic, they will be washed away. I think it was Vivekananda.
And now that time seems to have come. These self-proclaimed godmen thrive by instilling a sense of fear and dependence on people who flock to them; those are the very opposite of the qualities you need to discover and realize yourself, according to the Himalayan masters. I personally know of a fake godman in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, who claims to be Hanuman.
He was a perfectly ordinary guy, with a little bit of intuition, before his marriage. Then the mutation happened - he decided that he was Hanuman, and he got mad at me when I questioned it. He still runs a thriving business in Thiruvananthapuram, complete with personally selling women's underwears in a textile shop supposedly run by his brother-in-law.
The campaign against these godmen are spearheaded by Solidarity, a movement of radical Muslim youth. But in this case I think they are doing a wonderful service to society. These godmen are a curse on society - whichever religion they are from - and need to be rooted out. For once, I think, the agenda of these young Muslim activists is in perfect harmony with a national need.
And, after all, God is in them as well as every one else!
