<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Who carried out the blasts at Ahmedabad and Bengaluru? Investigating agencies say they were masterminded by <b>two Karachi-based men -- Rasool Khan Parti and Mohammad Sufiya Ahmed Patangiya</b>.

<b>The duo, who currently reside at Farahan Arcade Gulistan in Karachi, are originally residents of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh</b>. Prior to fleeing to Karachi, the duo were involved in recruitment of youth for jihadi activities in Hyderabad and other parts of the country. They were both allegedly members of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami, but recruited youth mainly from the Students Islamic Movement of India. <b>Both men are wanted by the Gujarat police in connection with the murder of former state minister Haren Pandya.</b>

An Intelligence Bureau officer investigating last week's blasts told rediff.com the duo planned the attacks during a meeting in Kotli, Pakistan, in May.

The investigating agencies have also got information on the manner in which the blasts were executed. <b>They say the entire operation was carried out by Indians, unlike in past instances where Pakistanis or Bangladeshis were used</b>.

Both Parti and Patangiya handpicked Indian youth working in the United Arab Emirates for the operation. This indicates that the youth had been picked well in advance and sent off to the UAE on the pretext of jobs there. This could have been done to avoid coming under the scanner of the Indian police, the officials say. From the UAE they were flown into Dubai from where they were taken to Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

The youth were divided in two groups and then trained personally by Patri and Patangiya. They were taught how to prepare bombs and execute the attacks. They called it training in alternate explosions. They were specifically taught how to make bombs using ammonium nitrate and directed to pick up the material locally. The use of RDX was ruled out since it was a problem to smuggle it across the border.

After undergoing training for a month, the youth were flown back to Dubai and then taken to Bangladesh. They were directed to cross over into India through the porous border. Investigating agencies say they took this trouble to avoid the police and security agencies.

Once in India, the two groups split up and undertook the operations in Bengaluru and Ahmedabad separately, although they kept in regular touch. The date and time of the attacks was fixed by Parti.

The police are now trying to ascertain how many members were in each team and also from where they picked up the ammonium nitrate and other material required to make the bombs. The police suspect that the two teams assembled the bombs separately in the cities they attacked.

The Bengaluru police believe that the ammonium nitrate must have been brought into Karnataka from Kerala via Mysore. However, police says the terrorists dumped a part of the consignment about 50 kilometres from Bengaluru as they feared detection. However, they managed to smuggle in enough material to carry out the blasts.

<b>IB sources say they are concerned by the growing number of Indian youth being lured into terror outfits. They say that intercepts from Pakistan indicate that there are many Indian youth outside Parti's home in Karachi daily.</b>

Investigating agencies are also looking into the statements made by SIMI activist Riazuddin Nasir aka Mohammad Ghouse. After his arrest in Karnataka earlier this year had told the police that he had met Parti in Karachi.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Manmohan promoting many nation idea</b>
http://www.organiser.org/
By J.G. Arora

Immediately after Muslim League demanded Pakistan and exchange of population, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar wrote his book “Thoughts on Pakistan” in 1940 in which he held that creation of Pakistan would act as a ‘settlement’ of Hindu-Muslim conflict, and also held that exchange of Hindu-Muslim population must accompany the creation of Pakistan.

Countless Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators bent upon creating one more Muslim country on Bharat’s soil, genocide and eviction of Hindus from Kashmir, global missionary organisations Christianising India, government control over Hindu temples whereas no mosque or church is covered by such control, special privileges to non-Hindus under Article 30, special rights to Muslim majority Jammu & Kashmir under Article 370, de-Hinduisation of education and history and banishment of Sanskrit from education, denigration of Hindus and Hinduism by most of media, and provision of Haj subsidy though none of 57 Islamic countries gives any such subsidy are just a few perversities of secular India.

Justice and equity demand that Bharat should be declared a Hindu Republic. It is a logical, laudable and achievable goal which will boost Hindu morale. Apart from protecting Bharat’s Hindu identity, Hindu Bharat will transform the present imbecile India into an assertive nation. No one can object to a Hindu Bharat when the world has over a hundred Christian and 57 Islamic countries. All pro-Hindu individuals and organisations should join hands to transform India into a Hindu Republic of Bharat by all peaceful, constitutional and lawful means.

Despite the Supreme Court’s judgements delivered on July 12, 2005 and December 5, 2006 to deport infiltrators, the government has done nothing in this regard. Rather, more infiltrators are entering India through soft borders every day.

Though Bharat’s Hindu identity is being hammered and erased bit by bit every day, the Union Government’s affidavit filed before the Supreme Court in September 2007 rejecting the existence of Ram and Ram Sethu de-legitimised Hindu faith itself.

This affidavit is the latest ploy to demolish Hinduism the way other native religions and cultures have been wiped off in the world.

Though the affidavit was withdrawn after protests, it would never have been filed if truncated India i.e. Bharat had been proclaimed a Hindu Republic in 1947 as a logical consequence of India’s partition on religious basis, and creation of Pakistan as demanded by Muslims.

And why should Hindu majority Bharat and Nepal disown their Hindu identity when over a hundred Christian-majority countries are declared as Christian countries and 57 Muslim-majority countries are declared as Islamic countries?

Besides, why cannot Bharat, the birth place of Sanatan Dharma, commonly known as Hinduism, and having Hindu traditions since time immemorial be a Hindu Republic?

No more Pakistans
Pre-1947 situation which created Pakistan is being re-enacted in India through divisive ‘communal budgeting’ and through Sachar Commission and reservation for Muslims in government jobs though such measures are unconstitutional, and also unwarranted after the creation of Pakistan as demanded by Muslims.

To prevent the creation of more Pakistans on Bharat’s soil, one must remember how Muslim League grabbed one-third of Bharat as Pakistan.

Bharat Varsh comprising of entire Indian sub-continent was Hindu land with zero Muslim population till 711 when Muhammad bin Qasim’s Arab army attacked Sindh. Hindus lost Afghanistan in 987, and present day Pakistan and Bangladesh to Muslims in 1947. During the repeated Muslim attacks for a thousand years, Hindus kept on fighting valiantly to defend their Dharma and motherland.

After overthrow of Muslim rule, the British took over India from 1857 to 1947. Muslim League was formed in 1906, and demanded Pakistan for Muslims in 1940.

This is what Muhammad Ali Jinnah said in Lahore on 23rd March, 1940 while demanding Pakistan, a separate country for Muslims, comprising of Muslim majority areas in India:

“Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs, and literatures. ….. and to two different civilisations. Hindus and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history. They have different epics, different heroes and different episodes. Very often the hero of one is a foe of the other, and likewise their victories and defeats overlap. To yoke together two such nations under a single state, one as a numerical minority and the other as a majority, must lead to growing discontent, and the final destruction of any fabric that may be so built up for the government of such a state.”

Immediately after Muslim League demanded Pakistan and exchange of population, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar wrote his book “Thoughts on Pakistan” in 1940 in which he held that creation of Pakistan would act as a ‘settlement’ of Hindu-Muslim conflict, and also held that exchange of Hindu-Muslim population must accompany the creation of Pakistan.

In 1945-46 elections, Muslims voted for creation of Pakistan.
Muslim League kept up the pressure, and in 1947 got a third of Bharat’s land as Pakistan comprising of West Pakistan and East Pakistan. In 1971, East Pakistan became Bangladesh while West Pakistan remained Pakistan. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh are Islamic Republics, and have driven out most of Hindus and Sikhs from their land.

However, most of Indian Muslims who had demanded Pakistan and exchange of population did not go to Pakistan. Rather, the present percentage of Muslim population in India is much higher than that in 1947.

Further, to plant one more Islamic country on Indian soil, Pak-Bangla combine has sent countless terrorists and crores of infiltrators into India.

Despite the Supreme Court’s judgements delivered on July 12, 2005 and December 5, 2006 to deport infiltrators, the government has done nothing in this regard. Rather, more infiltrators are entering India through soft borders every day.

Secular Bharat is being battered and grabbed bit by bit by Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators every day.

Fraudulent ‘secularism’
Logically, on India’s Partition on religious basis and creation of Pakistan for Muslims, Bharat should have been declared a Hindu republic. But surprisingly, Bharat was made a ‘secular’ country. However, in India, ‘secularism’ stands for anti-Hinduism. In secular India, Hinduism is being persistently attacked and demolished.

With each passing day, India is being made more Islamic and more Christian and less Hindu.

Countless Pak-Bangla terrorists and infiltrators bent upon creating one more Muslim country on Bharat’s soil, genocide and eviction of Hindus from Kashmir, global missionary organisations Christianising India, government control over Hindu temples whereas no mosque or church is covered by such control, special privileges to non-Hindus under Article 30, special rights to Muslim majority Jammu & Kashmir under Article 370, de-Hinduisation of education and history and banishment of Sanskrit from education, denigration of Hindus and Hinduism by most of media, and provision of Haj subsidy though none of 57 Islamic countries gives any such subsidy are just a few perversities of secular India.

Similarly, late Pope John Paul II’s outrageous call to convert Asia to Christianity was given in secular India’s capital in 1999.

Moreover, since secular India did not help Hindu Nepal, combined might of Maoists, Christian missionaries and Pakistan’s ISI divested Nepal of its Hindu identity in 2006.

Logical solution
Since sham ‘secularism’ and secular India have been a disaster for Hindus, only the Hindu Bharat can protect Hindus, Hindu Dharma, Hindu heritage, and Hindu identity of Bharat. Besides, since secular India never helps Hindus in distress either in India or abroad, Hindu Bharat would be a source of strength for the Hindus worldwide.

Moreover, only an assertive Hindu Bharat can liberate Hindus from tyranny of fake secularism; and restore Hindus’ fighting spirit and self-esteem. Hindu Bharat will also remove enactments and laws which discriminate against Hindus.

And there should be no apprehension, whatsoever, about Hindu Bharat. Since Hinduism is all embracing, Hindu republic of Bharat will give justice to all and appease none. In Hindu Bharat, there will be one law and one nation; and no distinction of majority and minority, and no discrimination, whatsoever, against any community. And all citizens in this Bharat will have equal rights. Such a Bharat will also dismantle fake-secularism, and liberate the nation from countless terrorists and crores of Pak-Bangla infiltrators.

And Hindu Bharat will remember M.A. Jinnah’s above-mentioned ‘Two Nations’ theory expounded in Lahore in 1940, and take pre-emptive action to prevent creation of more Pakistans on Bharat’s soil.

Justice and equity demand that Bharat should be declared a Hindu Republic. It is a logical, laudable and achievable goal which will boost Hindu morale. Apart from protecting Bharat’s Hindu identity, Hindu Bharat will transform the present imbecile India into an assertive nation. No one can object to a Hindu Bharat when the world has over a hundred Christian and 57 Islamic countries. All pro-Hindu individuals and organisations should join hands to transform India into a Hindu Republic of Bharat by all peaceful, constitutional and lawful means.

And this endeavour will certainly succeed as Atharva Veda proclaims, “Kritam may dakhshine haste, jayo may savya aahitah” (effort is in my right hand, and victory in my left).

I don't know where to put this. What this is about is generating a list of short letters that can be cut-pasted in their entirety into the comments sections of blogs people visit. Please add you own.

It is with sadness i hear of the demise of DR. Jagatpati Joshi . May i express my condolences to friends and family on the loss of this scientist and historian to the community of Archaeologists , Historians and to the Republic of somebody who has made signal contributions to these fields. I have not had the pleasure of conversing with him and I cannot do justice to his many accomplishments , but i understand that he was instrumental in discovering Dholavira, one of the largest cities in the Sarasvati Sindhu civilization. Many feel that 1.5 million square miles is an understatement of the extent of this civilization, which dwarfs all comparable river valley civilizations of the ancient era and Dr.Joshi played a key role in the determination of the vast expanse of this civilization.

We were expecting him to play a key role in the ICIH 2009 conference but that was not meant to be.

It is because of the work done by dedicated ardchaeologists such as Dr. Joshi that we are able to piece together the history of the ancient era. Now the task begins of reconciling the vast amount of archaeological data with the equally large massive literary tradition that is the unique legacy of the Ancient Indics.

Sources said the saffron party is in a fix and fears of a backlash in either situation of the government winning or losing the trust vote.

"The National Democratic Alliance is nowhere in the picture. If the government loses, the credit goes to Mayawati and the Third Front. If it wins then Mulayam would emerge as a winner and strategist," a leader of one of the NDA constituents told PTI.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think this is a psy-ops. It is obvious that NDA alone can not bring down the govt. They need leftists to bring it down, and BJP has to make them do that. If BJP becomes active, left may not do its task. So, the silence from BJP/NDA is also a strategy.

This thread is to show the low level harassment that
hindu temples face in the west

Also other opposition to hindu culture

Mostly and majority of Indians r Veges. Stroke incidence is higher in India. I associate it with consumption of Ghee. Here is another cause of it:
While 20% of Indians suffer from diabetes and high BP," says Dr Arun Garg, consultant neurologist, Max Hospitals, "incidence of homocysteinemia (increased levels of homocysteine, an amino acid) caused by vitamin B12 deficiency, is 70%. This is seen more among vegetarians as this vitamin is mainly found in meat and milk, if it's neither boiled nor pasteurised." In fact, deficiency of vitamins B12, B6 and folate causes two-thirds of strokes.

This risk is four times higher in vegetarians. As folate is found in vegetables and fruits, its deficiency is rare among Indians, but that of vitamin B12 is common.

I don't think so. As it is both the major parties BJP and Cong r already in election mode + Cong wants to leave NoClear deal for the next Govt to handle which I doubt will be UPA and needless to say BJP is doing it's overtures to BSP and other like minded parties like INLD, AGP and so on.
As if this is not enough, here is 1 more reason:
NEW DELHI: Admitting that ruling establishment is pulling all stops to get smaller parties and individual MPs to vote in favour of UPA during the trust vote, Left is also attempting to rally political parties so that the government can be toppled on July 22.

On Saturday CPM general secretary Prakash Karat had a meeting with party's parliamentary leadership to decide on the strategy inside and outside Parliament. [FONT=Impact][COLOR=red]
