Hurting the Faith

September 17, 2007

I begin this blog with my criticisms of the Congress government’s secular credentials. The so-called secular party of India is by far the worst among the evil and corrupt forces that threaten the peace and stability of this nation.

I am an ardent fan of the late Indira Gandhi, whom I consider the best leader India ever had since independence. A valiant, courageous and plucky leader that she was, her death signaled the end of the last of India’s charismatic leaders. She would now be turning in her grave if she was to witness how her Congress Party, the oldest in India, has been stooping to low levels of ineptitude.

The party that was formed to fight against foreign rule continues to look up to the Italian Sonia Gandhi for guidance. The party that boasted of leaders such as B.G.Tilak, B.C.Pal, Lala Lajpat Rai, Nehru, and Indira Gandhi could not come up with an indigenous leader and this reflects the sad state of affairs in the grand old party of India.

The claim that Congress is secular is as ludicrous as Sonia’s claim that she is an Indian. Amidst the controversy surrounding the Sethusamudram project, the Congress’ insistence that there is no evidence to prove the existence of Hindu God Ram not just shows Congress’ hypocrisy but the intentional hurting of the faith of millions of Hindus exposes the party’s unsecular credentials. The Sethusamudram project is merely a prestige issue for the Dravidian government in Tamil Nadu. But more about the fallacies of the Dravidian politicians in my later posts.

Hindus are tolerant as people of no other religion are and that is both the weakness and the strength of India. However, political parties such as the Congress take advantage of the meekness and play a dangerous game in the name of secularism that threatens to derail the nation’s foundations of equality and freedom.
