Laxmi S. Kulkarni, Kalyan : Sonia sevak Mani Shankar Aiyar says the country will have to choose
between Sangh mobocracy and constitutional democracy. What do you say?
What this Congressman actually means is that he wants a demockeracy that depends upon a Constitution that was changed by successive Congress Governments out of recognition eighty times in forty-five years. * * * Why are the Congress and other pseudo-secular parties more concerned about RSS activities than about ISI activities? Because their secular blinkers prevent them from seeing the difference between friends and foes. * * * Congress spokesman Ajit Jogi has expressed his concern about the safety of Indian Muslim Haj pilgrims, but he had not expressed similar concern about Hindus going on Amarnath yatra. Comment. This is because for Congressmen Mecca is the Mecca of secularism. D.N. Sinha, Hyderabad : Why cant we follow the example of Israel in dealing with Pakistani terrorists?Because where there is no will there is no way. * * * Recently a conference called the Muslim Medical Conference was held in Hyderabad. Comment. Our Muslim friends would like to know that all Muslim medicine is finally Arabic medicine, but they would not like to know that all Arabic medicine is finally Hindu medicine. P.R. Akula, Secunderabad : If, according to Congressmen, it is objectionable to attend the shakha of communal RSS, how can they attend Arya Samaj religious activities like yajna and havan?This is because the Arya Samaj religion is too small to be afraid of, but the RSS Hindutva can sweep away their pseudo-secularism. * * * Why is the Islamic world so resistant to be spread of democracy and civil liberties? Because while, according to the Vedas, gods are friends of man, according to Islam man is the slave of God. * * * The English have left, but their judicial system and their language remain. Why? Because the English mindset was left behind in the Indian mind. * * * What do you think of the laws laid down in Manusmriti? According to Pakistani Vedic scholar Anwar Shaikh the legal splendour of Manusmriti far outshone modern laws anywhere. * * * Swami Vivekananda said if a Hindu is not spiritual I do not call him a Hindu. Comment. Swai Vivekananda also said if a Hindu is to be spiritual enough to understand the Vedas he should first be robust enough to play football. Prabhakar Pradhan, Mumbai: How should US President Clinton deal with Pakistans Chief Executive Gen. Musharraf?Clinton could appoint him CEO of Pakistan, a fully-owned subsidiary of the US. * * * What do you think of a Gujarat Government ministers statement that the State Governments order on RSS was withdrawn to save parliamentary democracy? What was actually saved was the unparliamentary mobocracy of the Congress. * * * What is the attitude of the RSS towards this controversy? The RSS "couldnt care less", as the idiomatic phrase goes, because the RSS never grew with government support and never stopped growing without it. * * * Are you not relieved that the BJP-led alliance Government at the Centre has been saved? I would say the Government in which the BJP is led by its allies has been saved. Shrirang J. Godbole, Pune : How is it that whenever the Hindus are insulted Congressmen and Communists support those who do the insulting?Because, as neither Congressecularism nor Communism has anything worthwhile in it, they think insulting Hinduism is service to secularism. * * * Why is Prime Minister Vajpayee dragging his feet in stopping the Samjhauta Express when Pakistani terrorists use it to come to India? Pherhaps he still hopes against hope for an anti-terrorism samjhauta between India and Pakistan. * * * Will US President Clinton allow India to bomb terrorist training camps in Pak-occupied Kashmir? If India needs anybody's permission to do so, India will never be able to do so. * * * Will an Italian dissolve the Congress founded by an Englishman? The English export will continue as an Italian import.
