I'm all up for Secularism.

But not the kind of secularism that is anti-hindu and pro-non-hindu. Period.

If you go into the past, even the Mahabharata is all about wars. They had nothing better to do those times, I guess - no cricket, no football, no movies. So, let's just talk of the present.

Rape, loot cities, plunder - these were part and parcel of semitic religions since their birth. A simple glance of their history is enough.

Mahabharata war - strict rules of warfare, no fighting after sunset, no civilians, only warriors, and no back stabbing.

Admn. Sir and Dear All,

It is a good decision to put a full stop to this topic.  But there is another topic on almost same lines - Why I might want to vote for BJP this time... started by Mr.Murali, almost simultaneously 

That line may open up another pandoras box for comments by the same community that is vociferously following this subject.

Better close that topic also before it escalates.

Many BJP followers have, in a state of hurry to popularise themselves or with over confidece, exposed the hidden agenda of the party that is dreaming of capturing power at the Center during LS 2009 elections.  Varun's communal tinged hate speech and assault on secularism  is a classic example of how the young/old BJP warriors are ready to weild the sword and extend the Hindutva cult by any and all means.  I am yet to find who , a real Hindu is, and what are his manifestations concerning  humanity.  Geeta-ki-kasam, un logon ka haat ..... 

India has lived and will continue to live as the greatest living democracy in the World.  Can we wish away our muslim/christian and other community brothers and sisters who are contributing their might with honesty, integrity and patriotic fervor? Where will they go if communal hatredness is spread in an unabashed manner by a few power hungry politicians?  Do they have to live in perpetual fear and with a syndrome of being attacked by cult following butchers? Such people should know that muslim population in India is much more than the entire populace of Pakistan and they have lived for centuries like the Hindus.  Why this sudden love for Hinduism? It is becoming another -ism and is almost akin to internal terrorism in India.  Will BJP convert all of them into Hindus?  Please be clear about your stand on how you are going to keep the other community people safe and secure?  It is possible for BJP to capture if only it comes clean and declares its secularism bereft of such hate syndroms being spread by its rank and file.   

BJP is being pulled by strings attached to Bhajrang Dal, RSS, Moral Police and a host of other cults with Hindutva as their plank.  Its double standards are evident - wants to ban pub culture - bans arrack - issues licenses for wine manufacturing,  opens Wine Parlours; Mysore Sugar Company, Mandya to Manufacture Mywhisky, Myrum, Mygin and a host of other hard liquors.  By banning arrack, BJP socially elevated the BPL family drinker to a higher strata of whisky, rum, gin guzzler and making his family poorer by evening. 

Hundreds of farmers are committing suicides due to loan burdens.  They are the 'true sons of the soil like the CM' and are the  'VOTE GIVING LIVING GODS' but are starving for basic needs for their livelihood like two pots of clean water and a few kgs. of rice, WHEREAS, Government is splurging  hundreds of crores of rupees for renovation of the abodes of 'imaginery and unseen gods'.   Whereas CM/ministers are not finding time to clear files relating to peoples' welfare schemes, they are finding time to heli-hop from one temple to another for archanas, yagas, yagnaas, homaas to appease and get blessings for keeping them in power for ever and ever.  Foreign tours are being arranged for handpicked and select farmers who are BJP workers. Bicycles and other benefits are being doled out only to children whose parents are BJP sympathisers.  This is the kind of Agenda that we will have to face if BJP comes to power, touch wood! 

We need to be extra cautious during 2009 LS elections;  we must exercise our franchise with care; elect a stable government at the center that swears by real secularism and to showcase to the international community that India is a safe place that lives and breaths unity in diversity.  We must create majority voters rule without giving room for a hung verdict that results in horse trading, unholy alliances, live-in arrangements; 20:20 power sharing syndrome; ditching; party hopping etc.  

It is time to establish a secular system that cares for all the people and works for all the people irrespective of caste, creed or color.  We need a system that reduces the gap between the 'haves' and 'have nots'.  We must demand necessary amendments to election rules and its processes with a provision to 'Recall the Unfit'.  Make voting compulsory by giving some incentive like 5 per cent rebate in electricity/water bills to motivate them to vote.

WHOM TO VOTE? - A good question. We know that we cannot wish away politicians; they have become necessary evils in our society; it is we the people who allowed these demons to surface from the abyss of the political black hole called 'minority voters rule' and because we never barred entry of criminals into politics and the loop holes in the constitution helped them to continue their dragnets even from Jails.
All of them are chips of the old block and the big neta in some other party today, was a worker in Congress party. Many have criminal records and are netas.  Still, we have to vote. So, whom to vote? 

VOTE TO THE LEAST CRIMINAL
