Talibanic anti-Hindu circular from Muthoot Financial Group to its staff

Talibanic anti-Hindu diktat from Muthoot Financial Group to its staff

Muthoot Financial Group is a notorious Blade Mafia from Kerala owned by Muthoot Papachan group. They are also one of the prime sponsors of Delhi Daredevils, the IPL team. They have their offices across main cities across the world and in India along with small towns in Kerala. High profile murder of Paul Muthoot had hit headlines couple of years.

A recent circular issued by Muthoot group have now courted controversy because of it's Talibanic nature of strict warnings in the name of dresscode, which has been posted in one of the Malayalam website. (http://www.scoopindia.com/showNews.php?news_id=18855)

Attached the circular which is of self explanatory. The circular bans Hindu lady staff from wearing bindhi and sindoor which is of religious significance and also prevents staff from having sandalwood paste or Rakshabandhan.

It is up to Hindus to decide whether they still want to run to their nearby Muthoot branch to submit their Gold valuables or to have any business with them who thinks such Hindu symbols are anathema to their business.

Chronology of major Terrorist attacks in Bharat India

Chronology (timeline) of major Terrorist attacks in Bharat (Hindustan/India) or on Bharatiya (Hindustani/Indian) Citizens

1. September 7, 2011 1017 hrs - Terrorist attack (bomb blast) outside Gate No. 5, Delhi High Court, Indraprasth (misnomer: New Delhi/Nayi Dilli) - Harkat-ul-Jehadi (HuJI) & Indian Mujahideen

   At least nine people have been killed in an explosion outside the Delhi High Court on Wednesday morning. The explosion took place outside Gate No. 5 of the Delhi High Court at 10:17 AM injuring 45 others. Union Home Secretary RK Singh confirmed that nine people have died in the explosion. UK Bansal, Secretary (Internal Security) in the Ministry of Home Affairs, said that the explosive device was kept in a briefcase. He said that the blast was well planned and of high intensity. The injured have been rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Safdarjung Hospital with some of them reportedly in a critical condition. National Security Guard (NSG) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) teams have also reached the blast site. NSG Director General Rajen Medhekar said that ammonium nitrate has been used in the blast. "Whatever we could gather from the blast investigations is that it is an IED (improvised explosive device) with ammonium nitrate. We are working with the Delhi Police to get details," said Medhekar. The Delhi Police said that Gate No. 5 is one of the busiest areas of the Delhi High Court and have cordoned off the area. Gate no. 5 of the Delhi High Court is where the passes are made for the litigants and the explosion happened outside the reception. Police officials said that about 100 to 200 people were waiting in queue to get passes for entry into the court complex. Forensic experts have reached the site and are examining forensic evidence to find out the nature of the blast. Fire tenders and ambulances have also reached the blast site. Court business is usually heavy on Wednesday which is listed as a Public Interest Litigation(PIL) day when the visitors come to the court in large numbers. It is in the second time in four months that a blast occurred outside the Delhi High Court complex. An explosion on May 25 triggered panic prompting the authorities to sound a high alert in the capital and tighten security at public places. But no one was injured in the may 25 blast. In that blast too ammonium nitrate was used and the explosive device was wrapped in a polythene bag and kept close to the car parked near Gate No. 7. The blast took place at 1:30 PM. Along with ammonium nitrate, a battery-like object, wires and some nails were found at the site by forensic experts. This is the the worst terror attack in the capital since the triple blasts on September 13, 2008 in which 25 people were killed. On September 13, 2008 serials blasts had rocked Karol Bagh, Connaught Place and Greater Kailash in the capital in which over 150 people were injured.

7. February 15, 2010 2030 hrs - Mao-Communist Terrorist attack (gun attack) by at Silda in West Midnapore, West Bengal

   20 Army troops of Eastern Frontiers Rifles murdered by 100 Mao-Communist terrorists. "At least 20 jawans of Eastern Frontiers Rifles (EFR) have been killed in the attack at the Silda camp and the condition of two is stated to be very critical," district magistrate N S Nigam told PTI from Midnapore. The Maoists launched another attack on a CRPF camp at Dharampur in the district tonight. A group of 40 armed Maoists attacked the camp around 8.30 pm in Lalgarh engaging the jawans in an exchange of fire. Nigam said at least 100 Maoists armed with sophisticated weapons came on motorcycles and four-wheelers, exploded landmines near the Silda camp before barging inside with a volley of fire around 5.30 pm. There were 51 EFR jawans and officers in the camp when the attack took place, sources said. The attack took most of the jawans by surprise as they were either "whiling away their time in the camp or busy in the kitchen cooking", a senior police officer said. Meanwhile, Maoist leader Kishenji claimed responsibility for the attack. "We have attacked the camp and this is our answer to Chidambaram's 'Operation Green Hunt' and unless the Centre stops this inhuman military operation we are going to answer this way only," Kishenji told PTI from an undisclosed location.

      At least five persons were killed and 28 others, including a foreigner, injured when a powerful bomb exploded in the complex of International Society For Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Wednesday evening when the shrine was teeming with Janmasthami devotees. The toll might go up because some of those who suffered injuries were in critical condition, sources in the Regional Institute of Medical Science and Hospital said. The five victims included a 10-year-old boy and a 70-year-old woman, the sources said. Several important persons, including chief priest of the ISKCON's Damodar Das, were among those who were hit by splinters of the bomb which was reportedly hurled at the Tulihal airport area in Imphal West district of Manipur by some unidentified persons. Reports said that today being the birthday of Lord Krishna, there was a huge gathering of people at the ISKCON complex, about five km south of Imphal, and the bomb exploded among the crowd at around 7 pm. No individual or organisation has claimed responsibility for the explosions, official sources said.

      That the Varanasi blasts was not a stray incident, was confirmed by the detection of two kilograms of explosive ammonia nitrate from the Byculla Railway Station in Central Mumbai on Saturday, March 11. Apart from the explosive filled in a plastic water bottle, the police recovered a pocket-size transformer that could have provided the power if a detonator was to be attached to the device. Police Commissioner A.N.Ray said a high alert has been sounded in the city and security tightened at all places of worship, railway stations and vital installations. The seizure came a day before the 13th anniversary of the serial bomb blasts on March 12, 1993 which killed 256 persons and injured 713, besides causing damage to property worth Rs. 27 crore. Early this year, three terrorists from Jammu and Kashmir, allegedly having links with Laskhar-e-Taiba leader Sayyad Salahuddin, were arrested from the busy Nagpada area of central Mumbai, along with highly sophisticated wireless detonators. In neighbouring Goa, the police arrested a militant on charges of plotting an attack. Director General of Police Niraj Kumar said in Panaji on March 11 that the police arrested Tariq Anwar at Margao railway station. He was found to be carrying explosives and fire arms. Tariq is reported to have confessed during interrogation that Pakistan-based Tehrique-ul-Mujahiddin, the terrorist outfit to which he belongs, was targeting busy tourist places in the state. The police recovered two kilograms of RDX, two Russian hand grenades, a detonator, three mobile phones and three cameras from Tariq. The DGP said that Tariq had undergone two and a half years of training in Pakistan and had also traveled to Bangladesh and Nepal. Police teams have fanned out across the state to check his local links and more arrests are likely.

    • Varanasi blasts : New wave of terror

      Two bomb blasts ripped thorough the temple town of Varanasi in Eastern Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, March 7, heralding a new wave of terrorist attacks in the country. There are indications that the Varanasi explosions were mounted by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed groups which have been responsible for many such incidents in the past. A little known outfit, Lashkar-e-Kahar, believed to be a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba or Jaish-e-Mohammed, claimed responsibility for the blasts in which more than 20 people died. The Varanasi Cantt Railway Station and Sankat Mochan Temple were the main targets of the attack. The worst hit was the railway station where 14 persons were killed and 30 injured in a powerful explosion outside the waiting room on Platform No. 1 where a Delhi-bound train was at the time stationary. Just before this, a bomb want off at the Sankat Mochan Temple which was full of devotees. At least six persons were killed and 25 injured in the explosion. The security forces also recovered explosive devices at other places in the city, which did not explode and were defused later. Home Ministry officials said that they believed that the blasts were part of a planned conspiracy. They said the terrorists chose Tuesday for the blasts as there is a heavy rush of devotees at the Sankat Mochan Temple on that day. Within hours of the Varanasi blasts, a special task force team of the Uttar Pradesh police, helped by a team of the Jammu and Kashmir police, gunned down a terrorist in Lucknow on Wednesday morning (March 8). The police later claimed that the killed terrorist may have been involved in the terror attacks in Varanasi. The STF team said that the terrorist, Salar Aka Illullah Aka Doctor Aka Saleem, was an expert in planting explosives and was the area commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Uttar Pradesh. The STF claimed that he was also involved in the attack on Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, in which a scientist was killed. A Pakistan-made “Star” pistol, a telephone diary containing slips issued by PCO booths for overseas calls made by him, detonators, fuse and 2.5 kg. of RDX were recovered from his possession. On Wednesday itself, two terrorists owing allegiance to Lashkar-e-Taiba, were gunned down in an encounter with the Delhi Police in North West Delhi. The police say that the persons gunned down wanted to carry out a terror attack in the national capital. The deceased have been identified as Lashkar’s Bangladesh chief Ghulam Hasan alias Kajol. Forty pockets of plastic (PETN) explosives weighing four kilograms, one AK 56 with two magazines and 51 rounds , four hand grenades, two Luger-make imported pistols with two magazines and fake currency were recovered from the slain militants. “Intercepts of phone conversations between Abu Ali Kama and Tariq Ahmed Dar a few days after the Delhi serial blasts revealed that LeT was planning more attacks in the city and busy markets are their specific targets,” a senior police official said. The terrorists were carrying plastic explosives which, experts say, could cause an explosion stronger than the one seen during the serial blasts.

    • Judgement day Monday in August 2003 Mumbai twin blasts case by IANS, Daily Pioneer

      Six years after the twin blasts at Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar, which left 53 people dead, a Mumbai Special Court is expected to deliver its judgement on the "rarest of rare" case here Monday. A terror module of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) outfit was involved in planting the powerful bombs in two cabs and triggering them by timers on Aug 25, 2003. It is the most awaited judgement in a terrorist case after the Special TADA Court completed the March 2, 1993, serial blasts trial in 2007 which led to the conviction of 100 people, including Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, now a Samajwadi Party leader. The terror attacks were carried out to "avenge" the deaths of Muslims during the 2002 Gujarat riots that broke out in the wake of the Godhra train burning of Feb 27 that year. After painstaking investigations, the Mumbai Police nabbed the prime accused - Mohammed Hanif Sayed (35 then), his wife Fahimida (30 then), Ashrat Shafique Ansari (26 then), Zahid Yusuf Patni, Rizwan Laddoowala and A. Shaikh Batterywala. One accused and the blasts mastermind - identified only as Nazir, was subsequently shot dead in a police encounter in Matunga suburb in September 2003, said advocate for the accused S. Kunjuraman. A total of four cases was filed against all the accused in the case in which a total of 101 witnesses were examined in the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) Special Court, according to Kunjuraman. They are: the twin blasts at Gateway of India and Zaveri Bazaar which killed 53 and injured over 100; and a blast outside Ghatkopar railway station July 28, 2003, which left two dead and 31 injured. The fourth case pertains to planting a bomb in a public BEST bus Dec 2, 2003, at the Special Electronics Export Promotion Zone (SEEPZ), a major commercial hub in Andheri east, which failed to explode. "If found guilty by the Special POTA Judge M.R. Puranik, then the accused could attract the maximum death penalty," Kunjuraman said. Zahid Yusuf Patni offered to turn approver in the case in June 2004 and made a confession of his role in the terror attacks. He revealed how he lived and worked in Dubai where he met Hanif, who had gone there to work as an electrician. There they met some other persons who provoked them "to take revenge for the Gujarat riots of 2002". After hatching the blasts conspiracy in Dubai, they prepared themselves for the assignment with all the required resources and finally carried out the terror strikes in Mumbai. Patni also revealed that he had been "elected" as chief of the LeT module in Mumbai called 'Gujarat Defence-Revenge Force' and he directed all the blasts in the city. Meanwhile, midway during the trial, a POTA Review Committee recommended that Laddoowala and Batterywala be discharged from the case for lack of evidence, but the POTA Special Court rejected it. The matter was challenged before the Supreme Court which finally ordered their discharge in November 2008, proving a setback to the prosecution case, spearheaded by Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. Incidentally, Nikam conducted the March 12, 1993, Mumbai serial blasts case and is also handling the Nov 26, 2008, Mumbai terror attacks case. The duo was accused of connecting the timer with the detonator and preparing the other electrical circuits used in the bombs. During the six-year long trial, 101 witnesses, including a taxi-driver who identified the accused planting the bomb in one of the taxis, were examined. Three Special POTA Judges conducted the trial - A.P. Bhangale, S.S. Joshi and currently, Special Judge Puranik.

    • Akshardham attack suspect arrested

      Nearly seven years after the terrorist attack on Akshardham in Gandhinagar, a prime suspect of the case has been arrested from Hyderabad. The terrorist attack on Akshardham on September 25, 2002 had left 34 people dead and at least 76 injured. Two terrorists involved in the terror attack were also killed in the night-long operation by the National Security Guard (NSG) commandoes who were flown in from Delhi. Shaukat-Ullah Ghouri, believed to be the financier of the operation, was arrested from the Hyderabad airport on Saturday night soon after his arrival from Saudi Arabia where he had fled after the Akshardham attack in 2002. A team of the Gujarat Police has rushed to Hyderabad for bringing Ghouri back to Ahmedabad where arrest warrants are pending against him and his brother Farhat-Ullah since 2002. Three culprits of the Akshardham attack were sentenced to death by a POTA Court in July 2006 while one was sentenced to life imprisonment. Two others were given prison terms of ten years and five years respectively for their involvement in the terror attack. Shaukat-Ullah and his brother Farhat-Ullah were trained by the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and were engaged in raising funds for terror attacks. They fled to Saudi Arabia after their names cropped up during the investigations into the Akshardham attack.

      A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, Ghauri, who is a close associate of the mastermind behind the attack, Abu Hamza, had attended the pre-Akshardham attack conspiracy meetings at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, and later at Hyderabad in 2002. Ghauri is also accused of raising funds for the attack, DCB sources said. Ghauri and his brother, Farhatullah, who is also accused of supporting and motivating the terrorists who carried out the attacks, were in Hyderabad at the time of the attack. They later fled to Saudi Arabia after their names figured in the list of suspects. Thirty-four people, including two National Security Guards (NSG) commandos and two state police commandos were killed and more than 80 others injured when two Pakistan-based terrorists stormed the temple in Gandhinagar on September 24, 2003, and opened indiscriminate fire with their automatic weapons and lobbed grenades. A designated POTA court in Gujarat convicted three of the six accused, arrested in the case, to death, in July 2006. Another accused was sentenced to a life term in prison, while two others were awarded punishment of 10 and five years each.

While two Pakistani terrorists were killed by the National Security Guards (NSG) in operation Vajra Shakti at the Akshardham Temple, three were sentenced to death and 10 to life imprisonment in the case.

    • Death for three Muslim Terrorists in Lajpat Nagar blast case

      Describing the 14-year-old Lajpat Nagar blast case as “rarest of rare”, a city court on Thursday awarded death penalty to three of the six convicts. The explosion had claimed 13 lives in the Capital.
      “Aggravating circumstances have outweighed the mitigating circumstances. It is one of the rarest of rare cases, where the extreme penalty of death is required to be given to the convicts. I direct that these three convicts be hanged by neck till death,” said District and Sessions Judge SP Garg. Mohammed Naushad, Mirza Nissar Hussain and Mohammed Ali Bhatt were awarded the death penalty, which is subject to confirmation from the High Court.
      The court awarded different jail terms to the other three convicts, including life imprisonment to one, for their roles in the gory incident. Sending the three convicts to gallows, the court said, “On scanning the aggravating circumstances whereby 13 innocent persons lost their lives, it is certain that the convicts do not deserve to be dealt with leniently.
      There cannot be two opinions that looking at the prime conspectus of what was perpetrated at the Lajpat Nagar Market, it was the most dastardly act. The case comes in the category of rarest of rare cases. The convicts indulged in killing innocent persons without any provocation.”
      While awarding life imprisonment to Javed Ahmed Khan, the court said, “Though Javed’s case also comes in the category of rarest of rare cases, on taking into consideration the mitigating circumstances, Javed does not deserve the extreme penalty. He was residing in Nepal and not even known to Bilal Ahmed Beg. Earlier, he was not aware of the conspiracy and when he found arms and ammunitions lying in the room, he made inquiries…and came to know of the conspiracy to cause (the) bomb blast in Delhi.”
      The court also said that on instructions of Mirza Nissar Hussain and Bilal, Javed delivered ammunition at the Delhi residence of witness Wazid Kasai. “At the time of incident, Javed was not present in Delhi. After considering his role and his confessional statement exposing himself and the co-accused, case of Javed stands on a different footing,” it added.
      The court imposed a fine of Rs 42,000 on Mohammed Naushad. Mohammed Ali Bhatt, Mirza Nissar Hussain and Javed Ahmad Khan have been fined Rs 37,000 each under various penal provisions, dealing with murder, conspiracy and attempt to murder.
      Convict Farooq Ahmed Khan and lone woman convict Farida Dar were held guilty under milder penal provisions of the Explosive Substances Act and the Arms Act, and were allowed to walk free. The imprisonment served during the trial was their punishment, the court said. It fined Farooq Ahmed and Farida Dar Rs 10,000 each. “The term already undergone by Farooq Ahmed in this case shall be counted and Farida Dar is ordered to be released for the period already spent in jail with reasonable fine,” the court ordered.
      The court said the offence committed by the convicts was pre-planned and calculated. The apparent motive was to indulge in disruptive activities and to strike terror in the minds of the people. The convicts had used powerful material, including RDX. “These convicts had no feeling of remorse or repentance. The convicts had no apparent justification or motive to take the lives of innocent citizens. The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire city and the collective conscience of the society,” said the court. All these convicts were arrested in June/July, 1996.

What is Secularism?

What is Secularism?

Secularism means पंथनिरपेक्ष/Panthnirpeksh. Panthnirpeksh means "No preference" to any Sect or Group. It absolutely and categorically does NOT mean that all religions are equal. It literally means indifference to, or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations in public life and government policies. This is also validated as per 42nd amendment to the Preamble of the Constitution of Bharat (misnomer: India) in 1976 by then despotic Prime Minister Indira Nehru Gandhi. Unfortunately, this amendment was passed without any debate when opposition was in jail during the dark days of emergency, which remains a blot on Indian Democracy and was enforced on India by dictatorial Indira Gandhi.

Secularism ≠ धर्मनिरपेक्ष/Dharmnirpeksh

Secularism means पंथनिरपेक्ष/Panthnirpeksh and does NOT mean धर्मनिरपेक्ष/Dharmnirpeksh. Let me say it again, Secularism ≠ धर्मनिरपेक्ष/Dharmnirpeksh AND Secularism ≠ बिनसाम्प्रदाय/Bin-Sampradaya. Those who say this are fools and may be unintentionally calling themselves as fascists. To understand this, we have to understand what does Dharm means?

What is Dharma?

Sanatan Dharm is too vast and deep to be defined in one line. Its a popular misconception that Religion equals Dharma. It is a misconception because Religion is only a minuscule part of Dharma. Its a misnomer that they are exactly same and it is inappropriate to loosely use them interchangeably.

Here are few attempts to define Dharma in Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) history:

तादृशोऽयमनुप्रश्नो यत्र धर्मः सुदुर्वचः
दुष्करः प्रतिसंख्यातुं तर्केणात्र व्यवस्यति ९
प्रभावार्थाय भूतानां धर्मप्रवचनं कृतम्
यत्स्यादहिंसासंयुक्तं स धर्म इति निश्चयः १०
- भीष्म उवाच दशाधिक शततमोऽध्यायः शान्तिपर्व महाभारत

"Dharma" is that which upholds, nourishes or supports the stability of society, maintains social order and secures the general well-being and progress of mankind.
- Supreme Court of India

As India has recognised national flag, national bird, national anthem and national flower, the Bhagwad Gita may also be considered as the Rashtriya Dharma Shastra. The Gita inspired our national struggle for freedom and all walks of life,. It is the duty of every citizen of India under Article 51A of the Constitution of India irrespective of caste, creed or religion to follow the dharma propounded by the Bhagwad Gita,.
- Prayagraj High Court

Dharma is not just mere Religion as latter is minuscule part of ones Dharm (righteous duties). Religion is a sect or group of people following certain beliefs or ideology which can be truly defined by a Sanskrit word "Panth" and not "Dharm". Hence, if Dharm is "that which upholds, nourishes or supports the stability of society, maintains social order and secures the general well-being and progress of mankind" and "Nirpekshta" means "no adherence to" then "Dharm-Nirpekshta" means "no adherence to Dharm". Which means those who claim themselves to be Dharm-Nirpeksh, as do most of the Bharatiya (misnomer: Indian) politicians especially from Indian National Congress, RJD, DMK, BSP, SP, etc political parties, are actually saying that they have no adherence to upholding Dharm (upholds, nourishes or supports the stability of society, maintains social order and secures the general well-being and progress of mankind).

Which means they are proudly claiming themselves to be Adharmi & may be unintentionally calling themselves as fascists.

Are Hindus secular?

Heck Yeah! Hindus are inherently pluralistic in nature & believe in secular value of not giving preference to anyone sect or group. Certainly, allot more Pluralist & Secular than those who follow Abrahamic mythologies which are all based on intolerant concept of "Holier than thou" or "أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله و أشهد أن محمدا رسول الله / ašhadu ʾan laa ilāha illa (A)llāh, wa ʾašhadu ʾanna Muḥammada(n) rasūlo (A)llāh / Allah is the ONLY God & Mohamed is his messenger, no one before them" (shahadah). It amazes me when Leftist bigots or self-righteous Westerners out of their Dhimmitude accuse Hindus of not being "secular" but conveniently ignore intolerance of these totalitarian ideologies like Islam & Christianity.

Leftist bigots or self-righteous Westerners should teach these supremacist cults to Mutually Respect us non-believer/infidel/kuffar Hindus rather than "tolerating" us.

Has any other sect or group of people, like Hindus, been so religiously tolerant and mutually respectful to any other sect in the history of Humanity? No. We have survived over 20000 years with natural & man made calamities, atrocities and genocide led by Muslims, Mongols, Alexander, Evangelic Christians missionary conversions, British et al and we are still over 800 Million Hindus in the world.

It's been possible to be the longest surviving civilization in the world only because of the strong fundamentals and ground work of Sanatan Vedic Dharm done by our Rishi Munis (seers), our Gods avtar (incarnation on Earth) like Baman ji, Shri Ram ji, Shri Krishna ji and it's Sanatan Vedic Dharm Anuyayi's (misnomers: Hindus) big heart to still let at least 4 other religions (Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, et al) to originate and also assimilate other fellow sect of most oppressed people in the world, the Jews, Parsi, Zohrashtrians et al, by letting them settle with peace and honor in Bharat. So don't tell us Hindus, if we are "Secular" or not. We don't need your certificate.

Following is a debate on "Is Secularism the Solution to Communal Conflict in India?" at Rethinking Religion in India in 2009. Its a nine part series but I am posting only two important parts in which Prof. S.N. Balagangadhara and Dr. Jakob De Roover of Ghent University, Belgium presented their views on how to define Secularism.

Andhra CM Samuel Reddy's Christian Tours & Travels paid by Hindu temple donations & tax money

Thanks to Rajeev Sriniwasan for the tweet tip. On July 21 2008, Minority Appeasement Department of Christian Rightist Government of Evangelic Christian Chief Minister Y Samuel R Reddy of Muslim Rightist Congress issued an Official Government Order (GO) 29 to waste tax payers money to send Christian Mythology followers on a free vacation to foreign fairytale land where their Mythological prophet is said to have born to a Virgin Mother (noun: a person who has not had sexual intercourse), Died, became alive again from dead and then got "crucified" as per their mythology. The text of this Government Order is so vitriolic and preaching Christian mythology that it doesn't look like that the order has been prepared by some "Secular" "Democratic" Government but by some "Theocratic" "Nonsecular" Christian State run by some Evangelic Catholic Church. The Government Order is available here, here, and here. On June 25 2009, Christian Rightist government issued another GO 10 amending the GO 29 issued on July 21 2008.

As per the Christian Rightist Government's communal nonsecular discriminative order, रु २००००००० (~$415196.1802) of Tax Payers and Hindu Temple Daan (selfless donation) money will be wasted on these Christian escapades. Which is allot less than what Muslim Rightist Congress had spent on Muslims last year. According to government’s own official auditor Comptroller and Auditor General's (CAG) report, रु ५१४ crore or ५.१४ Billion (~$1.067 Billion) of Indian Tax Payers money and selfless donation of Hindus for Temples has been redirected as subsidy for Haj Charters while only रु ७८ crore or ७८० Million (~$16.1926 Million) for national fellowship for Scheduled Castes. This shows how serious this Muslim Rightist Congress government is about uplifting the so-called "lower castes". It is doing nothing but Muslim appeasement divisive politics and exploiting the people on the basis of castes while doing negligible in return. Who is suffering the most in all this? Hindus and the Indian Tax payers. Such gross mismanagement of funds as revealed in the CAG reports can be read here. Now they want to waste Tax payers money on similar divisive entitlement policies for Christians also,

"In the Budget 2008-09 an amount of Rs.2.00 crores has been provided under new scheme for assistance to Christian pilgrimage."

This pilgrimage covers a very large number of places connected with the life of
Jesus Christ in Israel. Mainly, they are:
a. Place of birth - BETHLEHEM
b. Place of Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection – JERUSALEM
c. Place of bringing up - NAZARETH
d. Place of Baptism - JORDAN RIVER
e. Places of preaching - around DEAD SEA and SEA OF GALILEE
f. Several other places connected with Christian faith.

Pilgrimage to Holy land is very sacred to all Christians and is a trip for Spiritual Rejuvenation. The pilgrimage covers several places of Worship, Tradition and Christian Rituals. At almost all the above places, churches are built and during visits, the pilgrims have opportunity to pray and worship besides two most important aspects of pilgrimage, i.e., Baptism and Eucharistic Celebration. Groups of about 50 pilgrims are being led by Travel agents who are well experienced and exposed to the above Christian holy places, traditions and Christian Practices. Ordinarily, the tour period is for a week (Israel Government issues visas only for 7 days). It is proposed to evaluate the standard tour packages being offered by travel houses now namely Jordan and Israel package, Egypt – Israel – Jordan tour package

With Rs. 2.00 crores had been budgeted by the Govt. in a year about year about 900 - 1,000 pilgrims in batches of 50-100 can visit the Holy land through this scheme sponsored by Government of Andhra Pradesh.

d. Rs.20,000 may be granted for each pilgrim by the Government of Andhra Pradesh., on par with Muslim Haj Pilgrims. Over and above this, the expenses are borne by the pilgrims themselves.

Not just that. So serious is this nonsecular Government that it has also created an itinerary already and wants to ensure that only "bonafide Christians" go on this Tax Payers sponsored Christian vacation. They have to ensure that those damn Hindus who will pay at least $415196 every year of their hard earned money to sponsor this Christian Tours & Travels don't take advantage of the system and go to visit the mythological birth & death place of mythological Christ instead of "bonafide Christians". Don't worry Samuel Reddy, we ain't interested.

As per this diktat by the Government, the tour operator will have to take a Pastor/Priest on every trip for free. Hallelujah!

Role of the travel company
c. A comfortable stay in Israel should be ensured – in any case not below room with double occupancy in a standard hotel.
d. All meals should be ensured i.e., breakfast, lunch and dinner including atleast five liter of packaged drinking Water.
e. Transportation along with Guide to take the pilgrims to places as per itinerary should be ensured.
f. All entry passes and tips for various services will be the responsibility of the Tour Operator and shall be borne by the tour operator only.
g. In case any pilgrim requires medical assistance, the same shall be ensured by the Tour Operator.
h. The travel Operator should provide free travel to one pastor/priest in every batch which will facilitate them to be guided, led in prayer/worship at each of the spots. Spiritual significance of the pilgrimage will be explained in depth by the priest.
i. Besides this, the Tour operator shall send a representative of the company as a tour leader to oversee all the arrangements, ensure safety and comfort of the Pilgrims. He will coordinate with all agencies, right from the time of starting till completion of the tour:
1. The Tour Operator will receive documents from the concerned Minority cell in the Secretariat i.e. an application, a copy of the valid Passport, and SSC Certificate, or MRO’s Certificate of a Baptism Certificate to confirm that the candidate is a Christian.
2. The Govt. share will be released after satisfactory completion of tour.
3. The Travel Company should settle all the Bills of the Pilgrims and give them a memorable Pilgrimage which is “all inclusive”

Luckily, the courts in Bharat are still somewhat not pseudo-Secular and have put temporary brakes on fundamentalist Christian Samuel Reddy's communal nonsecular agenda of wasting Tax payers money on unethical & divisive religious entitlements.

State can’t fund pilgrimages: High Court by Times of India

Just two months before the Haj season is to begin, a verdict of the AP High Court on Wednesday, which held that the state cannot fund any pilgrimages, sent the YSR government into a tizzy.

Responding to two PILs challenging the government’s order allocating Rs 2 crore for Christians to undertake a pilgrimage to holy sites including Jerusalem, the division bench comprising Chief Justice Anil Ramesh Dave and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan set aside the GO No 29 issued on July 21, 2008. While petitioners Satish Agarwal and G Raghava Reddy wanted the GO to be quashed on the grounds that it was unconstitutional, the second PIL wanted similar facilities to be extended to Hindus going on a pilgrimage to Mansarovar, etc.

The bench, however, made it clear that though the petitioners questioned only the state sponsorship of pilgrimage to Jerusalem, their order was not limited to it. “Our order covers every religion. We will not allow the tax-payers money to be spent on such activities,” the Bench ruled.

Legal sources told TOI that this order would jeopardise AP’s Haj plans. In fact, after the Bench gave its verdict, additional advocate general A Satya Prasad had submitted to the court that Haj falls within the purview of the Haj Committee Act 2002, which is a central Act. “Hence, the court cannot pass an order without hearing the Centre on the issue,” he said. However, the Bench said it would consider this matter during further hearings.

For this year’s Haj, the state has been allotted a quota of 6,222 pilgrims with another 150 on the waiting list. Some lawyers were of the view that the HC order would not affect the Haj. “The subsidy given for the pilgrimage to Mecca is a central subject and therefore it cannot be affected,” said Shafeeq Rahman Mahajir, a lawyer specialising on minority issues. The Centre spends about Rs 400 crore every year on pilgrims going on Haj from India.

But, state government legal sources said the HC order had wider ramifications. “While the state does not directly fund the Haj as such, it shortlists the pilgrims every year, and looks after all their arrangements including their boarding and lodging at the Haj House in Hyderabad. The state spends up to Rs 50 lakh every year in providing these facilities. Now, as per the HC order, we will not be able to do it,” said sources.

Christian Rightist Andhra Pradesh Government is now said to be exploring its options of taking the matter to Supreme Court. So why is the government so adamant on divisively appeasing Christians by giving them Job & Educational Reservation Quota on the basis of Religion and now these free vacations? We have to see the background of the man leading the government and his ideology.

Mr. Samuel Reddy is a second-generation fundamentalist Christian. His father, Mr. Raja Reddy came across Christian missionaries in Burma and soon converted to Christianity. It was in 1947 that the Church of South India was formed. Mr. Raja Reddy began to attend the Church Services of this congregation.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Fundamentalist Christian Mr. Samuel Reddy and family share the stage with CM's son-in-law Evangelist Christian Benjamin Anil Kumar at latter's proselytization rally to convert Hindus

The Church of South India is headquartered in Chennai with dioceses throughout South India. Any one could contact the Diocese of Krishna-Godavari [Machilipatnam-Bishop Rev. G. Dyvasirvadam - also Past Professor in Andhra Christian Theological College - an ecumenical Seminary in Gandhinagar, Hyderabad] or the Diocese of Nandyal [Nandyal-Bishop Rev. G.T. Abraham - also Past Professor in Andhra Christian Theological College, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad] to verify the antecedants as stated.

Mr. Y S V Reddy, the brother of Mr. Samuel Reddy is a fund-raiser and member of the local committee of the Bible Society of India headquartered in Bangalore with auxiliaries in each state. Likewise, Mr. Samuel Reddy's sister is into conducting Bible classes for women. Mr. Samuel's son-in-law Brother Benjamin Anil Kumar is a global evangelist speaker and has been alleged of carrying out mass conversions of Hindus through lurement by misusing the office of his father-in-law.

There have been suspicions voiced by many Civil Rights & Liberties groups over the alleged biases held by Samuel Reddy. They say that Chief Minister Samuel Reddy has used his position to bring Christian institutions into the decision making loop of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanam, which governs Hinduism's most visited shrine and that he may even be facilitating a church to be built on the holy hills of Tirumula. Suspicions were aroused due to a sudden proliferation of churches along the roads leading to the holy shrine and a recent auction of Hindu temple land in Tirumula being hastily called off when it became known that Christian groups were attempting to make a bid.

Reddy belongs to a Protestant evangelical organization. As he belongs to Indian National Congress (INC) whose chief is Italian Roman Catholic Antonia Maino aka Sonia Gandhi, Hindu Civil Rights & Liberties organizations believe that he is trying to destroy the Hindu religion and Hindu holy places in Andhra Pradesh.

Mr. Samuel Reddy's nonsecular actions speak louder than the words of those who are concerned about his questionable support for the illegal & unethical mass conversions of Hindus by fundamentalist Christian organizations. Following articles, excerpts, pictures, etc. tell the scary tale of Andhra Pradesh where Church is the State.

Missionary agenda of YSR CM of Andhra Pradesh: From the Horse's Mouth by Nizhal Yoddha

For people who believe only in "evidences" here it is. its a collection of all the Government Orders (GO) by the Government of AP allotting funds to various Churches in AP. source of information is no secret either. It is the online portal of Govt of AP listing all the GOs it issued (the government portals are treasure houses of information; you just have to know how to dig out what you need). You can see the data in this page:

http://suryassk.googlepages.com/AP_GOs.htm

The following is the summary of the data from that sheet:
1. The GO portal is active only from February 2008, hence the data given is only of 1 year (ie., Feb 2008 to Jan 2009). Note that although vast, it is by no means comprehensive (ie., I have shown Govt 263.07 lakhs to Christian institutions. This amount is the minimum spent on them, not the maximum).

2. But even for a single year, an amount of 263.07 lakhs was given as aid to various Christian institutions.

3. More than 258 churches benefited from these grants for construction/renovation of churches.

4. An amount of 1316.54 lakhs was given as aid to various Muslim institutions through Wakf boards.

5. Not a single GO granting any aid to a Hindu temple can be found. This in spite of the fact that in AP, the Hindu temples are managed by the Endowments Ministry (put it simply they take all the money which the temples generate).

6. Govt takes away all the money which Hindu temples generate, but do not grant a single penny to any of its temples. It does not touch the money from Christian and Muslim institutions, but grants them huge amounts of money.

I have always argued that the "Missionary Charity" is just a myth ( http://ssksurya.blogspot.com/2006/05/questioning-myth-of-missionary-charity.html ). These new evidence only reinforce my earlier points. I do not want to waste more words how the Christian CM of AP is perusing his missionary zeal not just through individual actions, but also through direct grants from the Government of AP. As I said, the facts speak louder. Let the reader judge for himself.

Christian Communal Socialism Congress Style by Offstumped

Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy’s evangelist son-in-law has been accused of misusing Government Machinery in launching himself as an alternative to another tele-evangelist KA Paul. The Indian Express has carried a detailed story on this. The most interesting part of the story is how a case of telecom fraud against YSR’s son-in-law has been conveniently covered up while the man himself has been busy spreading the “good news”.

A sampling of videos on YouTube belonging to the Ministry run by the son-in-law reveals that this is very much a YSR family enterprise with YSR’s mother euologised as the patron maternal figure, YSR’s sister giving divine testimony and pious anchors from the Televangelical channel praying for the “State and its officials”.

The whole story can probably be dismissed away as family soap opera but for the brazen manner in which YS Rajashekar Reddy aided by his son-in-law have been promoting Christian Communal Socialism.

Andhra CM son-in-law's mammoth religious meet draws flak

Evangelist Anil Kumar's debut in Secunderabad bore all the hallmarks of a gala event. A sprawling parade ground packed with nearly 1.5 lakh people, a 250-member choir and guests including Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, his wife and only daughter. So why are the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Telugu Desam Party crying foul over the Evangelist's religious sessions? For Anil Kumar is YSR Reddy's son-in-law, and the Opposition parties have started questioning how Anil Kumar's mammoth congregations were funded.

Very few people were aware of who Anil Kumar was till hundreds of huge hoardings, welcoming people to his 'Grand Christmas celebrations', sprung up all over the twin cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad. After it was revealed that Anil Kumar was the chief minister's son-in-law, the TDP and BJP demanded an inquiry into the source of funding for such large-scale publicity, insisting that ill gotten money was being used to promote the Evangelist.

While Anil Kumar avoided the media, YSR quipped, "What is wrong in it," when asked about the publicity machinery being used to promote his son-in-law. Anil Kumar told the congregation that he had experienced many miraculous changes in his own life after he adopted Christianity. Reddy, his wife Vijaya and daughter Sharmila also addressed the congregation. While the chief minister restricted himself to extending Christmas greetings to the people, his daughter stole the show with her spirited speech. She drew huge applause when she quoted a passage from the Bible, "God gives us power but we should rejoice in God". Though Brother Anil Kumar has held such congregations at many places across the state including Rajahmundry and Warangal, this was the first time that he held such a session in Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

Incidentally, Anil Kumar is being promoted as an Evangelist at a time when the ruling Congress is embroiled in a running feud with another internationally famous evangelist K A Paul, who is facing legal problems in the state. "Rajasekhara Reddy is promoting Anil Kumar so that he can become more popular than K A Paul," alleged TDP leader N Rajakumar.

Incriminating photograph of YSR, wife, daughter and son-in-law "Brother" Anil Kumar (aka 'Benjamin') Komanapally at this Evangelical rally: ‘All you have to do is believe in Him’ by New Indian Express

They came dressed in their Sunday best to listen to the first family of Andhra Pradesh. Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, his sonin- law Brother Anil Kumar `Benjamin’ Komanapally, daughter Sharmila Reddy and wife Vijaya Rajasekhara Reddy, all spoke at the `Grand Christmas Celebration’.

The day marked the culmination of the three-day festival. An estimated 1.5 lakh people turned up at the Parade Grounds, filled to capacity by the time Anil Kumar took the colourfully-decorated stage. Before he spoke, however, his wife Sharmila urged the audience to introspect on their lives and make time for God. She quoted her dad’s favourite verses from the Bible, `God gives us power, but we should rejoice in God’. In between the speeches, a 250-strong choir sang and danced to popular Christian numbers. A row of lights supported by two huge cranes located behind the stage illuminated the stage. A laser show on Christ’s life was a hit with the crowd.

Brother Anil Kumar spoke for an hour about the importance of accepting God into one’s life. He claimed that miracles had occured in his life since he accepted Christ. He also claimed, ``No doctor has a solution for AIDS, but there is a supernatural doctor and all you have to do is believe in Him.’’ The Chief Minister drew the maximum applause when he stepped on to the stage. In his brief remarks, he wished everyone a merry Christmas

Yeah all you have to do is believe in him, after that you rape, murder, rob it doesn't matter. Even if you have AIDS, it doesn't matter just believe in Christ and it will be cured. What kind of superstitious bullsh*t is this?

In the end, all I can say is look at the kind of culture that this Christian Rightist CM comes from and the ideology that he propagates: Christist CM of Andhra stoops to lowest possible level: Insults Chandrababu Naidu's mother

The Andhra Pradesh Assembly witnessed an unprecedented clash between the ruling Congress party and almost the entire Opposition when Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, in an intemperate outburst against leader of Opposition N Chandrababu Naidu, dragged Naidu's mother into the debate.

Replying to the allegations of serious irregularities in mining activity in the Obulapuram area of Anantapur by the company of Janardhan Reddy, Rajasekhara said that he would expose Naidu in such a way that he would regret his birth.

"What I am saying now is only a preamble. There are a lot of things to say. After I complete what I have to say, Chandrababu, you will, in fact, regret why unnecessarily you came into your mother's womb and you will feel that it would have been better if you were not born at all. What are you talking! I will expose you," the Chief Minister said as the entire House was left stunned for some time before the TDP benches burst into protest.

The outburst, which left almost all the Opposition members shocked and pained, came after the Question Hour when the TDP members tried to raise the issue of alleged siphoning off of minerals from Obulapuram mining area, the scene of a protest by the TDP since Saturday.

In what part of Christian Mythology did Christ give a sermon to abuse someone's Mother is beyond me? Totally unbecoming of a Chief Minister or any Public "Servant".
