A Sacred Land Reclaimed :

There comes a moment in a nation’s
history that plays a decisive role in shaping its future. That moment has come with BJP’s emphatic win in Bengal. The State is coming back into the fold of uncompromising nationalism after over a century.

How a land that produced spiritual & nationalist giants like Vivekanand, Aurobindo, Pravananand, Netaji Bose, SP Mukherjee, Rabindranath Tagore & countless revolutionaries like Khudiram Bose who forced the British to unite divided Bengal in 1911 , slipped into the hands of pseudo-nationalists & anti-Bharat forces is some kind of a mystery.

The roots are in Congress’s compromising nationalism that led to phenomenons like Muslim
Appeasement & ‘ Non-violence at any cost’ which destroyed the State’s virile immunity system which in turn was fully exploited by Jinnah to divide Bengal & our nation.

This victory coupled with BJP’s equally emphatic win in Assam - also a state facing threats from intruders like in Bengal - under the most dynamic leadership of Himanta Biswa Sarma — has proved that the forces of nationalism will lead the nation against the threat of divisive forces.

Clearly, there is still a lot of stuff left in Bharat or that it has gained in past 11 years under PM Narendra Modi‘s leadership than that meets the eye.

But on the flipside there is also a challenge in how to restore the legacy of these great men. Clearly, short-cuts won’t work, long-term vision based on the principles of these great man will. Ideological commitment has no option is what the new rulers of Bengal will have to remember.

People might be surprised how Veer Savarkar figures in the attached photo. Well, the answer is that, apart from Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, it was Savarkar who played a key role in saving half of Bengal. And not many know that it was Savarkar who brought Mukherjee into active Hindutva politics in 1939.

True history remains a most interesting subject.

Today is watershed day in India’s electoral politics . And the biggest beneficiary is Bharat & its national security. The historic BJP win in Bengal against the threat of intruders & TMC’s Goonda politics marks the dawn of Shyama Prasad Mukherjee-Savarkar era & does justice to the land that produced giants like Netaji Bose , Vivekananad, Aurobindo, Pranavanand, Rabindranath Tagore & Khudiram Bose , Bagha Jatin & scores of other revolutionaries.

The BJP victory in Bengal has secured the great land from approaching shadows of division which had partitioned it once before in 1947.

I have complete faith in the abilities of PM Narendra Modi & HM Amit Shah that they will be able to bring Bengal into mainstream politics of development against imminent threats from anti-India elements just as they have done in Muslim majority J&K which was in a worse situation & under the grip of Pak-sponsored anti-India forces for years.

It is unfortunate that Govt of Goa under CM Dr. Pramod Sawant is gunning for Hindutva activist Gautam Khattar for speaking the truth on atrocities committed by Portuguese on Goan Hindus at behest of radical Christian cleric St Xaviers . He only said what has been described by famous Goan Author AK Priolkar in his book ‘ The Goa Inquisition’

According to Priolkar & many other authors, it was St Xaver’s who urged the King of Portugal in 1545 to establish the Roman Catholic religious court called Inquisition in Goa to punish Hindus who had accepted Christianity but left it later in secret or openly.

True history tells us that St Xaviers, in whose name hundreds of schools & colleges are run in India, was in some respects a bigger religious fanatic than even Aurangzeb. Untold atrocities were committed on Hindus in Goa & Mumbai province of Portuguese in medieval period under the Inquisition.

While reasons for maintaining communal harmony may compel a Govt to take deterrent measures, no one can be punished for speaking the truth.

Would urge CM Pramod Sawant ji & national BJP leaders to treat the case based on this truth.

Since Khattar was not found by Goa police after lodging an FIR on him for his speech on St Xaviers , it arrested has his brother from Dehradun. This is a most questionable act.

. Riteish Deshmukh, I worship Ch. Shivaji & can call myself an expert on his life story. I was moved by your words on your new film, Raja Shivaji. They seem to come from your heart. Don’t worry about criticism. I am confident the film will succeed. Any such national project executed with devotion has blessings of Khandoba, Jyotiba & Bhairoba.

The trailers i saw are impressive & the music is quite good. Your words in which you called yourself ‘ Maharaj’s Mavla doing his small bit for him’ reflected true respect for the great national hero.

Wishing you & your equally devoted wife & producer Genelia all the best. She looked fantastic in Nav-Vari saree & i was moved by her emotions.

Deeply mourn the demise of eminent journalist, thinker & former BJP national Vice President Balbir Punj ji. In his departure the nation has lost a figure who persevered to fight & expose divisive forces with his powerful pen.

At this sombre moment I recall
many thought-provoking discussions I had with him which left me wiser in my understanding of many national issues.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to my friend & former colleague & to other members of the Punj family.

Om Shanti!

In a gesture worthy of emulation at national level to protect Bharat’s culture & character, 600 youth drawn from all corners of Gujarat resolved with misty eyes under the aegis of our Save Culture Save Bharat that they will marry only with the consent of their parents as parents are a family’s 1st Bhagwan & Bhagwati.

The resolve was expressed by the youth at a ‘ Matru-Pitru Vandana’ programme in Gandhinagar under the banner of Save Culture Save Bharat Foundation while taking a pledge that they will keep away from all types of addictions through out their lives.

The programme was organised under a scheme of Ministry of Youth Affairs ( Mera Yuva Bharat - MY Bharat ). It was planned by the foundation’s cultural director Abhay Shah who is leading a series of such culture-building programmes with the Gujarat Govt with the active direction of CM .

Roots of TCS Nashik scam lie in Ahle Hadees & why there is need to probe the tanzim’s leadership
———————————————
All accused in the case are radical Salafis & followers of Ahle Hadees which is closest to mainstream Wahabism of Saudi Arabia (SA). The most radical SA Wahabis visiting India never fail to visit the Jamiat Ahle Hadees’s Delhi campus in Okhla & Darul Uloom Deoband, headquarter of India biggest Wahabi tanzim.

In Nov 2024 Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Al Buaijan, the Imam and Preacher of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, visited New Delhi to address the 35th All India Ahle Hadees Conference & met Maulana Asghar Ali Imam Mahadi Salafi , president of Jamiat Ahle Hadees Hind.

So , if the Maharashtra Govt & Union Govt ( NIA_India ) are are keen to go to the root of this racket to convert Hindus by exploiting their women then they must interrogate & probe the top leadership of the tanzim including Maulana Ashgar Ali.

Also should be probed the role of activists like advocate Faiz Saiyad of Sambhaji Nagar who are very active in the corporate sector with an ultra-Wahabi vision.

Bharat should also know that terrorist Hafiz Sayeed & his Lashkar e Toiba are followers of Ahle Hadees ideology.
