JihadiDi showing class, even if inadvertantly.
There are those who might say this is "Indian" class, often with good reason, unfortunately. :(

A London hotel I stayed in during a business trip sent me a revised bill adding upwards of 20 pounds a few days after I checked out. They said I took some fruits from a fruit platter which was not complimentary. I emailed the person in charge at the hotel who turned out to be a Sardarji. He refused to accept that I did not take those fruits. Said he sees this all the time with some of his guests. I replied saying that there was no reason for me to fly business class, stay at his hotel overnight and "steal" fruit. I told him that I would pay up but will ensure that no one at my employer would ever stay at that hotel. He apologized and waived the charge. The few bad "fruits" ruin it for all the rest of us.

Does Kendriya Vidyalaya's Morning Prayer Promote Hinduism? Supreme Court To Decide :cry: :oops: :facepalm:
The court was acting on a petition by a lawyer who argues that the morning prayer is in violation of the constitution as it promotes a particular religion. The lawyer's children also studied in the Kendriya Vidyalaya.
https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/does-ke ... ide-179822
"there is no scientific reason to call this prayer beneficial, so it should be scrapped."

The prayer is "constitutionally impermissible", says his petition, adding that institutions funded by the state cannot propagate any religion.

Compulsory shlokas and prayers, the petition says, are contrary to the Articles in the constitution that state that "no religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution maintained out of state funds" and "all citizens shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression."
I was raised in KV. Throughout my childhood sang tamso ma jyotirgamay..(Lead us to light from darkness), never realised it was communal!
Forget us, no peaceful friend ever complained about KV prayer!

Yes John they are.
Doesn't have to be. It basically means a planned police ambush of the bad guys. If they surrender, it leads to arrests. If not, well....

The thing about shlokas is that it's not merely religious, its also cultural and historic. Hence the bhoomi poojan when digging the foundation of a government building, or Ganesh pooja before launching a rocket. It is very much rooted in the history and culture of the land, and Hindus cannot and must not be penalised just because other religious groups do not have the same cultural and historic affiliation.

Each indian culture is becoming communal now. It is ultimate unbecoming of india. No country in the world, absolutely no country, demotes its history and culture like Indian government and judiciary does.

Not always. In this case I think they have taken every police raid as an encounter. Usually an encounter is where shots are fired and culprit is nabbed/injured/killed.

I’m sure BJPs resident EJ, Fadnavis, will lead the charge

“The RSS has tried to convert Christians into Hindus. Do you think they will try to convert Meghalaya into a Hindu state?”
So EJ's and Peacefools converted (& Killed) half the humanity in their quest to impose ways of Allah/Jesus but Heavens forbid if Hindus would even think about bringing back some of them in the fold.

PS: Article so conveniently talks about Xtian clergy influencing the elections to prevent Hindu BJP from forming the Govt but Nooo, Communal Hindus must be taught a lesson by creating fissures in the Hindu society.
Wonder if Pappu will visit few temples in Meghalya and flaunt his Jenau.

David fednavis is an EJ, wolf in sheep's clothing. He needs to be fired. If modi/ bjp doesn't dump this man, I pray that MH votes for anyone but BJP. At this point fednavis is as bad as congoons
DAVID fadnavis !! :shock: :o :mrgreen: :rotfl:

oh man !!! I was banned on BRF1 because I was putting anti-Modi posts. But my posts were no way closer to this one !!

But I do like the phrase DAVID fadnavis . I will publicize it on my FB profile. I have some 5000 followers -- all will love it. Let me also cook up names for other RSS leaders such as Venkiah Naidu etc --- how about Victor Naidu? I thought I was the best BRFites when it came to name calling. But for this jan-2018, you get the gold.

(added later --- victor naidu, veronica (or vanesa?) raje schindhia, mcmohan bhagwat :lol: )

---------------

FDI and more FDI. So looks like Modiji knows ONLY one trick to improve economy - hand over sectors of economy to usuk-elitemen in the name of FDI etc. And then how to improve education, health for poor? Well, missionaries will make schools and hospitals. So handover economy to usuk-elitemen and handover poor to missionaries. And almost all RSS-workers I see on FB etc support this plan. And in turn, let India become a camel so that usuk-elitemen and missionaries can make destroy islamists and china. So basically, fight USUK's war against china and islamists, and paidmedia funded by usuk-elitemen will give cerificate of nationalists to Modiji and rss-workers !!!

Mehta ji, my disdain for Fadnavis doesn’t extend to Modi or Yogi. While Modi isn’t as pro-Hindu as I’d like, he’s not the outright EJ Fadnavis is. So it would be wrong of you to come to that conclusion. My contempt for the man (David) is based on his continuous anti-Hindu diktats

As far as Naidu is concerned, I’ve not heard much about him to come to any judgment.

I am simply shocked at the Nehruvianism of Fadnavis. Especially since I thought he used to be a pracharak.

JT, Is this sentiment shared by upper echelons of BJP and RSS that DF has soft corner for EJ's or is this more hype than anything else.

^^ I think we're well past hype and hunches. When voices were raised against fadnavis early into his term for some anti hindu decisions, it was brushed of as babus trying to discredit him. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

We're now well into his tenure to use that as an excuse and there is ample evidence of his cozying upto missionaries in the form of his wife and her activities. So no, it isn't hype it is fact. Whether RSS and the BJP brass share the same sentiment is irrelevant.

I am not sure indics are happy to make a compromise for better infrastructure at the cost of our culture and long term survival. I definitely am not - and frankly such a compromise need not be made because the two are not in conflict.
