Mohan: She really is pissed. Like Raj says: "The meek don't inherit the earth, they get sent to concentration camps. Hindus need to learn to push back and fuss." So sue me, but when the end is the preservation of Hinduism in its homeland, ALL means stand justified. Bajrang Dal, rah, rah! Varsha Bhosle BTW, I dont believe in any relegion. I beleive that relegion is the last vestige of scoundrels. But I live life, more or less, according to the Gita, which was probably instilled in me without my knowledge by just being raised where and how I was.

She should be made Tourism Minister Uma Bharti's assistant. Together, they could bring down India's tourism traffic (and revenues) all the way down to zero.

We're witnessing the results of the changes in the demography of the Northeast, in Bengal, Assam, Nagaland, Manipur... Yeah, and the current "Lynch 'em all!" attitude is surely going to endear them and make them all desire to belong to India, that is Bhaarat! In a way, I am rather glad to see the writings of columnists like Ms. Bhosle, and even more glad to see many people buying such arguments -- there can be no better proof that India is firmly on track towards disintegration.
