The Gujarat 2002 Riots Milk Federation is almost bankrupt. The Chairwoman Chairperson is making a desperate attempt to keep it going.
How do we remember what we wish had not happened? On February 28, it will be six years since the Gujarat riots. An event that polarised this generation as the Sikh riots before it, and Partition earlier. It is not improbable to think there will be another slew of violence for the next generation.
Activist Teesta Setelvad has had the unfortunate task of playing Cassandra in Gujarat and picking up the pieces of a world wrecked. The organisation she is a part of, Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), is now attempting to ensure no one forgets the events of February 28, 2002. They are planning a memorial of resistance in Gulbarg Society, where at least 70 people were killed in 2002. “With the courts delaying our cases, it’s been a huge strain to keep the struggle alive. We need something to keep our witnesses strong. That’s how we hit upon the idea of this museum,” she says.
Read the whole thing and try not to feel sorry for her.

Jazzia in Modern India: Are Hindus paying Tax for being Hindus in India today?
It is known widely that Hindus were made to pay Jazzia(Religious Tax) during the Mughal days for being Hindus. I believe the tradition is being sustained in modern India thanks to Congress and Communists. Most tax paying Indians are Hindus if classified according to their religious denominations. In return Hindus do not get even basic ameneties like roads, power, education and health care. But Congress and Communists heap special treatement to minorities. How can one justify Haj pligrimage subsidy? Why would a secular government pick and choose among religions? Now YSR Rajasekhar Reddy(a Christian who converted from Hinduism) announced a similar package for Christians in Andhra Pradesh. They can now undertake pilgrimage to Jerusalem in Israel fully funded by Andhra Pradesh Government.
So in effect Hindus pay tax and do not get anything in return but are only being abused for being Hindus and law abiding citizens. They have to bear the one-sided Pseudo Secular assault on their religious beliefs. Communists and Congress will to defend the religious feelings of Muslims( be it Danish Cartoons or Taslima Nasreen) and Christians(Kandhamal incident) but would instigate an affidavit in Supreme Court against the existence of Lord Ram and of course go ahead with the destruction of Ram Sethu. They do get support from Karunanidhi and Buddhadeb from Tamil Nadu and West Bengal respectively. They have the backing of the Communists lead Indian Media.
How are we going to put an end to this atrocity?
SANDEEP PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE UP AND WRITE YOUR VIEWS

Where is freedom of speech? Why was this not reported by any national TV or newspaper?
This is selective oppression of Hindus.
Secularists are playing politics over dead bodies. What a shame!
Please Hindus. We need to fight for our rights. I have been discriminated because of my religion in India by Christians and Muslims. I took it quietly then because I was a Secular.
See what CPI has done to BJP worker in Kannur. Why didn’t the media cover this? They showed Sitaram Yechury’s windscreen been broken. This is oppression on Hindus in their own country.

Let us arise and awake. We have never fought for our religion before we have to do it now to protect ourselves. Vote BJP and only BJP and let us form a formidable vote bank. Gujarat is our best example.
