Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is being targeted – this time not by secular and civil society activists,

What a difference an electoral defeat can make. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is being targeted – this time not by secular and civil society activists, but by sections of his own party.
At a meeting of senior BJP leaders in Delhi on Monday morning, an angry Modi, who has, apparently, gone from being the party’s alternative prime ministerial candidate to fall guy in a matter of three days, lashed out against what he called “an attempt to shift the blame for the party’s defeat on me”.
Modi later met some senior RSS leaders with his angst. Many BJP leaders said the campaign against Modi is directly connected with the power struggle among the party’s second-generation leaders in anticipation of the imminent retirement of the old guard. Many of his colleagues are wary of his following among the party’s rank and file.
Soon after BJP president Rajnath Singh announced L.K. Advani’s decision to continue as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Modi got up and complained loudly: “The party had engaged my services in the campaign and I had worked very hard for it. Despite this, some leaders are planting stories against me. You used my services and now want to dump me. This is totally unfair and unacceptable.”
He then reeled off statistics to “substantiate” his claim that the party had done well in places where he had campaigned. Modi had campaigned extensively for the BJP in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Orissa, among other states. The party’s tally in all these states has dipped below its 2004 levels. In Gujarat, his home base, the BJP could improve its score by only two.
There have been media reports comparing this lacklustre performance with Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi’s success in reviving the Congress in UP and helping engineer the UPA’s return to power.
“Not a single leader has spoken out against this malicious campaign,” he said, but declined to name anyone.
Rajnath Singh then assured him that the issue would be taken up during the Chintan Shivir (Introspection Camp) that the BJP would hold soon.
Besides Advani and Singh, senior BJP leaders Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Murli Manohar Joshi, Vijay Goel and some BJP chief ministers attended the meeting.

Mercy Petition of Afjal To Puppet President Of INDIAidentify them as traitors. What Gita says about this

What has happened to the Ideology of the Nation during Sonia Gandhi Regime in power. In 1900 Gurukul Kangharhi Vidhyalaya laid its foundation by  Sri Nitya Nand Swami ji Maharajah . Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya Laid the foundation of Banaras Viswa Vidhyalaya. Both of them started Hindu ( Aryan) Purification Meeting on 22^nd Dec. 1922 at Agra in Sahaganj Area and converted 4.5 Lakhs of Malkhana Muslims to their original Hindu folds, from where they were so converted by Muslim Rulers. One Abdul Rashid committed murder of Sri Nitya Nand Swami ji Maharajah on 23 Dec. 1926 and thus he was hanged on 22.11.1929. about 30 to 40 thousands Muslims assembled and entered in prison by breaking the lock of the door and had taken corpus of Abdul Rashid forcibly Thus the law and order situation remained the similar to the time of committing murder of many leaders of Hindu folds at that time also. The British, who were ruling upon Indians, have not shown any mercy with Abdul Rashid, than why Congress Govt. is lingering the,Mercy Petition of Afjal despite the facts he attacked on parliamentary democracy of our country.  Are they not the accomplish or we may identify them as traitors.  What Gita says about this  - 

QUESTION 1: Re: What should our Attitude be towards Birds, Animals and Other Creatures that we share this planet with, according to the Gita? "BWC Editor" QUESTION 2: There was a question recently on our attitude towards animals. I would like to know further whether killing those little insects cockroaches, mosquitoes, rats, lizards for the purpose of keeping our house healthy and clean is wrong. OR It is right under the pretext that this is the law of nature that stronger creature wins and since we cannot allow our houses to be full of these little creatures. Sadhaka, regarding our attitude towards animals, birds, other creatures. Every life in this world is created by Him and hence it must be treated with love and respect. Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita, "Sarva bhuta stham atmanam, Sarva bhutani catmani, Ikshate yoga yuktatma, Sarvatra sama darshanah. " ( Gitaji 6,29) Which means, 'A true yogi sees Me in all beings and also sees every being in Me. The self realized person sees Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, every where. ' Once we train ourselves to see the Lord in every creature, then naturally we treat them with compassion. A sage or learned person sees every living being with an equal vision as stated in the following Sloka, "Vidya vinaya sampanne, Brahmane gavi hastani, Suni caiva sva pake ca, Panditah sama darshanah. " (Gitaji 5,18) Which means, 'Panditas, by virtue of their true knowledge, see with equal vision, a learned brahmana,a cow, an elephant or a dog. ' For a person with spiritual wisdom, every creature is a reflection of God's creation and hence treats every life with love and respect. Thank You Hare Krishna. Prasad.A.Iragavarap u,M.D 1. Gita says that one should realize that God is in every creature and every creature exists in God.  So animals, birds,  and other beings whether small or tiny or big, whether peaceful or  violent / ferocuous, are all transformation of Gpd. They should be viewed as the same as anything else including any human being. One should practice equanamity - every thing is the same - no difference. 2. If one realizes that in the true sense and therefore become ego-free, desire-free, fear-free and attachment-free, one does not  bother at all being killed or adversely affected by other humans, wild animals or insect bites. Corres[pondingly, all beings tend to love such a person. 3. Till such time, one has reached the stage, Gita says that one needs to realize that one cannot kill or destroy or hurt any creature because the Atman in any creature is indestructible and unaffected by any external event/ force. Thus the question really does not arise of killing someone. Gita also says that one must realise that  whatever happens to a particular creature is determined independently of decisions/ actios of other creatures or human beings. Therefore, one need to worry if one were to kill or hurt another creature for reasons of safety, food or other reasons . Please note that Gita is not pleading against what you refer to Natural Law. Gits preaches Divine Laws of which Natural Laws are consistent parts. 4. How one interprets Gita and follows Gita are also part of the same Divine Law and Gita's God says that the behaviour and actions of different creatures are going to be different in accordance with the Guna-combinations each creature is endowed with. Only those creatures who have realized souls in them  at some stage (as referred to in 2 above) may behave similarly witl love and equanimity and with out desire, attachment, anger, fear, and ego. 5. Gita is the ultimate science: it analyses what and how things happen in this World: it does not prescribe any medicine or solution  to suit guna-imparted individual beings under delusion. It says that those who have overcome the Gunas and the Illusion successfully and completely are the ideal of human endeavour.

What is Justice and how it can be ascertained Application of Islamic Justice

What is Justice and how it can be ascertained

The concept of “Justice” is not exact science. It also developed and matured throughout human history. “Justice” in ethical theory may or may not agree with “Justice” in political theory. I am not interested in discussing such scholarly differences that are better left for academicians. I am interested in social justice. Islam claims to offer social justice and I suspect that Muslims who say “Islam is just” have the concept of social justice in mind.

One of the best social concepts we have is the golden rule “treat others as you would want to be treated”. This is a great rule that is golden indeed. It promotes the genuineness of human equality in social affairs. There are no classes, and there are no caste systems. It means humans are brothers and sisters, and ought to treat each others in a decent and humane way. Every decent human being should practice and promote such a rule.

Even though the concept of Justice may not be defined in exact terms, we know what may or may not constitute a just rule. If every individual in the state can run to be elected president of the state, that is a just rule. If some individuals cannot run to be elected as a president of the state because of their eye colors, or because of income level or religious convictions, that is not a just rule. In summary, we can recognize the applications of Justice when we see them. We also know the converse.

Application of Islamic Justice

Let me move now to Islam and its applications of Justice on certain matters. There are certainly other matters in Islam that one can analayz to see if they insure justice or not, so my list is not conclusive by any means.

1. Jizya: This is a tax levied against non-Muslims living in a country ruled by Muslims. Please note that the “amount” of this tax is immaterial for our discussion. This tax is unjust regardless of how you look at it. Imagine if you live in a country that forces you to pay a special tax just because you are a Christian, or a Hindu, or a Buddhist. It just does not make sense to force people to pay a special tax because they hold certain religious beliefs. Individuals in a specific state must be obliged under the same tax laws that apply equally to all citizens of the state, regardless of their religious convictions. The golden rule is clear on this matter.
2. Politics: In a country ruled by Muslims, only a Muslim can run for election as president of the state. The same applies for other elected seats. Is this a Just practice? Off course not. The golden rule tells you that you are disenfranchising individuals who may be highly qualified to run for such positions, and be very good for society if elected and allowed a chance to serve. The only reason they were not allowed to run for a political seat is because they are not Muslim. What a silly reason indeed. A person can serve well his society regardless of his personal religious beliefs.
3. Women: A man can beat his wife (Qur’an 4:34). A woman cannot beat her husband. Is this a just practice? The golden rule says that this is indeed not a just practice. The Qur’an does not have the equivalent of verse 4:34 that gives women a chance at beating their husbands. I reject the Qur’an as a useful book. But if one accepts the Qur’an, and the golden rule at the same time, then one accepts contradictions. Such a person believes that a man can beat his wife, but the wife cannot beat her husband. This is a contradiction in and of itself with regard to the golden rule. The golden rule is an instruction and a universal moral command to treat people equally and fairly. Also, a man is allowed to marry up to four wives in Islam. A wife is not allowed to marry up to four men. Is this a just practice? Off course not. The golden rule tells you that if you want to allow men to marry up to four women, the converse should be allowed too. A woman should be allowed to marry up to four men. However, Islam is a one-way street here. Hence, again, it is in contradiction with the golden rule.I do feel I need to insert my personal convictions about having multiple wives here. I think it is an ugly practice. It is crude and inhuman. I believe it degrades women as full human beings.
4. Inheritance: Islam has so many rules about inheritance. It has rules who gets what, and in what proportion. But one of the ugliest inheritance rules in Islam is that when a man dies, his sons get twice as much as his daughters. What an ugly and inhuman rule? It is a rule that is clearly designed to degrade women, and violate any universal moral code of decency, let alone the golden rule of what is just and fair.
5. Punishment for crimes: “Stealing” is an example of crimes and punishment in Islam. The punishment for such a crime in Islam, regardless of the amount stolen, is to cut the hand(s) of the perpetrator.

I submit to you that the cutting of hands in this case is one of the most inhuman acts a religion can do. First, when you cut the hands of an individual, you have put him/her at a disadvantaged position for the rest of their lives. Most jobs require hands to be able to work and make a living. If the hands are cut, society has to pick up the tab and pay for that individual’s life for the rest of his/her life. Second, the amounts of theft matter. When one steals a can of soda, the punishment should be much lighter than when someone steals a million dollar or a car or a motorcycle. So, clearly, stealing is a crime that requires a detailed system of gradual punishments according to the amount stolen.

Hence, Islam’s code of punishment does not promote a just society that deals in a fair way with criminals. “stealing” is just an example of how Islam’s laws of punishment should never be applied. They do not belong to human society, period.

Where does the golden rule apply here? Well, if you stole something, would you want your hand removed, and rely on state benefits to live a marginal life for the rest of your life, Or would you want to make up for your mistake and move on with your life? The golden rule takes the second choice for any individual. Islam’s rules of punishment are not fit for human consumption here.

Conclusion

The above analysis showed many problematic issues in Islam’s value system. Islam does not treat individuals in the same state equally. Islam does not provide a good value system in dealing with men and women. Islam’s political system does not promote the golden rule of fairness between people living in the same country. Islam’s system of punishment does not help individual’s in their lives, rather it is designed to maime people and render them useless for the rest of their lives. In short, Islam is unjust, and, in Sina’s words, “belongs to the dustbin of history.”

Our Indians' Money - 70,00,000 Crores Rupees In Swiss Bank*

When Indians  specially millions of Hindus reel through untold miseries due to man made poverty
at least 70lakh crore Indian rupees deposited by criminal looters  of India in collusion with Swiss banks who encourage people  to do so makes the west shine .Our Indians' Money - 70,00,000 Crores Rupees In Swiss Bank*  1) Yes, 70 Lakhs Crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money.
2) German Government has officially written to Indian Government that they (German Government) are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 Lakhs crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them.
3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on German Government's official letter to Indian Government.
 4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official enquiry to Germany for details of money which has been sent outside India  between 1947 to 2008. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian's money.
 5) This money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country's foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Centre's yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families.

 6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh crores, then how much money is lying in other 69 Banks? How much they have deprived the Indian people? *Just think, if the Account holder dies, the bank becomes the owner of the funds in his account.*  7) Are these people totally ignorant about the philosophy of *Karma*? What will this ill-gotten wealth do to them and their families when they own/use such money, generated out of corruption and exploitation?

 8) Indian people have read and have known about these facts. But the helpless people have neither time nor inclination to do anything in the matter. This is like "a new freedom struggle" and we will have to fight this.
 
 9) This money is the result of our sweat and blood. The wealth generated and earned after putting in lots of mental and physical efforts by Indian people must be brought back to our country.
 
10) As a service to our motherland and you contribution to this struggle, please circulate at least 10 copies of this note amongst your friends and relatives and convert it into a mass movement.
