Must  Read ! Very Powerfully Worded. Bravo – Prakash   Bajaj, Editor of Times  of India .

LETTER   OF THE EDITOR OF “THE TIMES OF INDIA ” 

   TO THE PRIME MINISTER                                 OF INDIA

I am born and brought  up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years.  Believe  me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that  in Bihar .  Look at all the  politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan BhujbalNarayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj         Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in  money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst    Chief ministers I have seen.

His only business  is to increase the FSI every other day, make   money and send it to Delhi , So  Congress can fight next election.

 Now the clown  has found new way and will increase FSI for  fishermen, so they can build concrete

houses  right on sea shore. Next time terrorists can   comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the  beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at  their will.

Recently, I had to purchase a  house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders.    

Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common   person like me knows this and with all your intelligence agency & CBI, you and your   finance ministers are not aware of it.

 Where all  the black money goes? To the underworld, isn’t  it? Our politicians take help of these goondas  to vacate people by force.

I myself was victim  of it.  If you have time please come to me, I  will tell you everything.

If this has   been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not   have ever cared to write to you this letter.

Just see the tragedy. On one side we are   reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on  the other side,

 you politicians have converted   nectar into deadly poison.

I am everything  – Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled   Caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian SCHEDULE   Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what I   am not is INDIAN. 

You politicians have raped  every part of Mother India by your policy of  divide and rule.

Take example of our  Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an   intelligent person; such a fine human being. But  you politician didn’t even spare him and instead   choose a worthless lady who had  Corruption  charges and insignificant local politician  of Jalgaon WHO’S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just  wanted a rubber stamp in the name of president.   

Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER  OF INDIA ‘S THREE DEFENCE FORCES.

 What  morale you will expect from our defense  forces? 

Your party along with opposition joined hands,   because politicians feel they are supreme and  there is no place for a good person.

Dear  Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most   intelligent person, a most learned person. Just  wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost,   expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks  to give names of all Indian account holders.  Give reins of CBI to independent agency. 

Let   them find wolves among us. There will be  political upheaval, but that will be better   than dance of death which we are witnessing  every day. Just give us ambiance where we can  work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care  of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister.  Do you want to be lead by one person, or you   want to lead the nation of 100 Crore  people?

Sri Padmanabha Swami Hindu Temple


Sri Padmanabha Swami Hindu Temple
SOME TIMES BY : SANTOSH BHATT

Times of india wants all the wealth found to be distributed amongst poor. What a pathetic idea this dumb editor comes up.

Times Of India, Yellow Journalism..

” Unlike, say, Switzerland, India isn’t rolling in wealth. Even as we trip GDP figures off our tongue, a country is deemed wealthy not when it has plenty of rich people but when it has no one mired in poverty. Tough scenario for a country for a billion-plus people but with India home to enough

folks not getting a square meal a day, there is something awry about a temple in Kerala sitting on a treasure trove supposedly worth ‘Rs 1 lakh crore’ — that is Rs 1,000,000,000,000.
 Oh, we know the sanctity of the right to own your wealth and spend it (or not) in whatever manner you choose.

But the Sri Padmanabha Swami temple in Kerala, now unofficially considered the richest temple in the country, isn’t exactly just a fixed deposit that will take care of a family’s Bugatti bills, or even the local mandir or gurdwara providing succour to souls with a cash flow on the side.

In fact, such temples are gargantuan vaults of tax-free wealth. So how about dismantling what are essentially parallel economies by opening these vaults up and use the money to set up private schemes that can bring material comforts to the poor?

Sure, many of these religious institutions have social sch-emes already running. But clearly, much more needs to be done.

If the incentive for such a move is lacking from the trusts of these temples or mosques, why not consider taxing these institutions?

The purpose of taxing people much less wealthy than those who own the wealth of the Padmanabha Swami temple is to bring about some amount of redistribution of wealth through building public facilities such as roads and power stations.

With the temples having enough money to spare, surely being a charitable body won’t make them stingy about spreading the cash for public good?

Especially, since they should be happy to share their wealth in good faith for the purpose of making India a truly rich country.”

With views like these, there is no need of ghoris and Gaznis to break temples and loot when such people with such anti Hindu views are present in Hindusthan

Go after Muslim and Christian first who stole all the land and wealth from native Hindu and then talk about sharing Hindu wealth. Period no if no but and nothing less.

Why are people always after the temples and not after anyother worship places? you are speaking of taking the money from the temple and using it for public good……one fact that you have forgotten my friend is that the so called politicians of this country has more wealth than the worship places,.

The money that people paid as tax for the betterment of the country,was robbed by them and kept in forgein banks,don’t you have the guts to ask them to give it back.

They enter politics as just an average citizen,they go to their graveyard as millioners,leaving back millions for their decendents to live in lavishness………This money belongs to the God……it was donated by humble beleivers,

As a note of thanks giving…….it should stay in the temple,as temple property.

One thing forgotten,its not containers of hard currency which is found,its valuables worth crores,how are you going to use it?

Pave the roads with gold and diamonds?give one diamond to each person?one coin to each person?Sell the valuables?????????

It should be protected,try to generate a revenue from it,by building a museum inside the temple premises for the public to see the heritage,the forgotten era, and a minimal charge taken from them,the revenue of the temple is to increase now as devotees would be flowing in….and that money can be used in public interest.If we oblige to give away the treasure to the benefit of the country,

you would say the Idol is worth crores of rupees,lets sell it for the country……wont you?????

The MAHARAJA who saved this treasure from british rulers should be awarded by the best award(which is given after death) of our country. he was a REAL KING AND REAL DESHBHAKTA.

अतः इस लेख के माध्यम से मैं सुप्रीम कोर्ट से अपील करता हूँ कि वह “स्वयं संज्ञान” लेते हुए ताजमहल के नीचे स्थित 22 सीलबन्द कमरों को खोलने का आदेश दे, जिसकी निगरानी सुप्रीम कोर्ट की निगरानी में हो ताकि पता चले कि कहीं शाहजहाँ और मुमताज सोने की खदान पर तो आर…ाम नहीं फ़रमा रहे? इन सीलबन्द कमरों को खोलने से यह भी साफ़ हो जाएगा कि क्या वाकई ताजमहल एक हिन्दू मन्दिर था? इसी के साथ सुप्रीम कोर्ट में जनहित याचिका दायर करके यह माँग भी की जाना चाहिए कि ज्ञानवापी मस्जिद के नीचे, अजमेर दरगाह के नीचे एवं गोआ के विशाल चर्चों तथा केरल के आर्चबिशपों के भव्य मकानों की भी गहन जाँच और खुदाई की जाए ताकि जो सेकुलर-वामपंथी हिन्दू मन्दिरों के खजाने पर जीभ लपलपा रहे हैं, वे भी जानें कि “उधर” कितना “माल” भरा है। हिन्दुओं एवं उनके भगवान के धन पर बुरी नज़र रखने वालों को संवैधानिक एवं कानूनी रूप से सबक सिखाया जाना अति-आवश्यक है… वरना आज पद्मनाभ मन्दिर का नम्बर आया है, कल भारत के सभी मन्दिर इस “सेकुलर-वामपंथी” गोलाबारी की रेंज में आ जाएंगे

Times Of India, Yellow Journalism..


This is article is about a  Leading Yellow journalism News Paper called  Times of India  which is puppet of Moslims and Congress and Anti Hindu writers  against Agniveer for exposing Lies of Islam and Congress and educating masses about Hindu Sanatan Dharma,

Instead of debatin g or disputing disagreements  TOI has gone lowest of low level of Yellow Journalism.        September 23, 2010

By Agniveer

We came to know that Times of India (TOI), the leading newspaper of India, published a story against Agniveer where it denounced Agniveer as attempting to instigate violence after Sept 24. It allegedly linked Agniveer with RSS. RSS has denied any links with Agniveer.

While we appreciate the zeal of Times of India to propagate the cause of Agniveer, we are appalled by the shamelessness in which TOI has attempted to use Agniveer to spread cheap sensationalism.

They have referred to the article http://agniveer.com/2029/alert-ayodhya/ but also used other articles on the site to create their masala story through selective misquoting.

 You can study the TOI story at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/RSS-denies-links-to-Facebook-page-set-up-in-its-name/articleshow/6596836.cms

 Here is the Agniveer stand:

 1. Agniveer severely condemns TOI for trying to spread hatred on eve of the Ayodhya verdict by spreading such baseless news demeaning a well-intentioned site for no reason.

2. Readers are requested to carefully review the article themselves and state what is instigating in the article. On contrary, we believe that we are only furthering the cause of all peace-loving people, regardless of difference in ideologies.

3. The article specifically instructs to cooperate with police and not take law in own hand. TOI finds this objectionable! It misquotes alleging that Agniveer asks “people to ensure full security by alerting the police and be prepared to take on rioters.” In reality, the first part of sentence is true but “and be prepared to take on rioters.” was cooked up by TOI.

Another example is when it puts quotes around word ‘prepared’ to convey as if Agniveer is asking to be prepared to become lawless!

 Also it quotes Agniveer mentioning RSS and VHP to be peace-loving nationalist organizations as if it was an act of treason. While we have removed RSS and VHP references in updated article to put a stop to any future mischievous journalism, .

We fail to understand that if RSS and VHP were anti-national or anti-peace, why are they being permitted to operate by government along with tax exemptions on donations?

 4. TOI has used readers comments on Agniveer as well as on RSS facebook site to create this news story.

5. The news admits that the site states that its purpose is to spread non-violence, tolerance and peace, but still finds it difficult to digest how a critic of Babur can appeal for peace from all communities.

 6. Agniveer has made it clear innumerable times that it believes only in Vedic religion of humanity which is defined in http://agniveer.com/1634/vedic-religion/.Non-violence, Peace, Unity and Compassion across ALL human beings regardless of their birth or beliefs, from the bedrock of this Vedic Dharma that is supposed to be unaffected by Time, Situation and Geography.

 7. Agniveer has thus never ever appealed for use of violence nor can it ever do so in future. However it has been severely critical of those who support use of violence to force their viewpoints. Agniveer will continue to do so.

 8. If Agniveer would have hatred against any person or group of persons, then the comments on the site would have been heavily moderated or disabled. We however believe in Freedom of Speech and respect all humans regardless of whether we agree or disagree to their views. In fact we respect all life forms because the core of the Agniveer ideology derived from Vedas is that each soul is equally capable of achieving the Ishwar.

 9. We raise a concern against TOI and all such newspapers who are driven by commercial motives and not genuine quest for truth. They are driven by a corporate body having sole goal of wealth maximization. Sensationalism and biased reporting may benefit them for various reasons, but for Agniveer, the sole mission is to spread the Vedic Dharma as propounded in Yoga Darshan of Patanjali.

We finally, appeal to TOI team behind this news, to kindly review http://agniveer.com/1634/vedic-religion/ as well as all other articles in Vedas category plus Introduction to Vedas in Downloads section to understand the perspective of Agniveer as well as bring transformation in their own lives.

 On Sept 24 issue, we want to summarize our stand very clearly once again here:

 “Regardless of whether we agree to the judgment or not and our individual viewpoints, we should all cooperate to ensure peace. We should not be instigated by any force to get violent. We should cooperate with all peaceful and security forces and not take law in our own hands. We should not judge a person by his birth, name or community but only by his or her deeds and beliefs being nationalist. We should have unity across all peace-loving forces across all communities to thwart the designs of those who may try to create violence the way they did recently in front of Jama Masjid.”

 We also now state that we should be very cautious in taking media reports by profit-driven newspapers like TOI with a pinch of salt and not allow their sensationalism sway away our rationality.

The split of Muslims and Hindus visiting this site is almost 50-50. We thus appeal to them to not take this Babri issue as a religious issue. Let we debate and discuss on various topics and assert our viewpoints. But let there never be hatred  against any particular person or group of persons. Let not money-driven media houses be successful in creating unnecessary divides.

 Finally, we put the same allegation on TOI that is has put on Agniveer. TOI has deliberately tried to malign both Agniveer and RSS and create panic among masses by publishing this baseless news reports by borrowing splinter comments from here and there. There are at least ten thousand blogs on this very topic on internet and thousands of groups and pages on Facebook and orkut. The prominence that TOI has given to this very blog and that too on eve of a sensitive judgment hints at provocative journalism with ulterior motives. Specially when there are so many locations on internet who openly abuse and threaten and provoke.

We appeal to all people within TOI as well as with other agencies to explore the mystery behind such an instigating story that could break the delicate thread of brotherhood across communities. We recall that after the Godhra incident, these media houses, instead of condemning the terrorists, were trying to put blame on people who died by creating false stories. Their irresponsible journalism led to so much of violence. Let all of us proactively work to ensure that irresponsible journalism does not cause any violence or hatred against communities.

May truth and peace prevail!

 PS: We recommend that instead of such misquoting, it should freely use the content of Vedas section of Agniveer.com for its newspapers. That may be much more useful and popular for their readers. We allow permission to TOI to use the content attributing it to Agniveer, but without selective misquoting.

 WE DEMAND TIMES OF INDIA TO APOLOGIZE NOT ONLY TO AGNIVEER BUT ALL ITS READERS FOR THIS IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISM.

 We have little hopes that they would do so considering their past track record, but if they do so, they shall only be raising their own stature. And if they do not, Agniveer promises to teach TOI the same lesson that Gandhi is supposed to have taught British after he was thrown out of train by a British, in times to come.
