You want to hear tamil imperialists views you should see Makkal Tv. These scounderels think Tamils have been displaced from Himalayas to Cape Comorin. No Keralite should ever forget the 100 years war from the Chola period. If not for Parasuram's western ghats equivalent to the Great Wall of China, Kerala's damage would have been permanent.It is time to demolish the Mullaperiyar Dam and reinstate TamilNadu's original landscape.

This land thieves had ursurped all the hill stations which were once occupied by the British army batalion under the Madras Presidency. Pazhassi Raja's kingdom destroyed as a result of the tyrant Tippu's imperialism. Likewise the phenomenal population growth of the Pandyas in Kanyakumari led to its breaking away from Kerala. Tamil Nadu per se never existed before the colonial amalgam of Madras Presidency that being spoils of war. Now watch out they are digging trenches at Hogenakkal

No Bias towards Kerala, Rajeev!
by Subramanian on Apr 14, 2009 07:07 PM

While i wholeheartedly agree with Rajeev and major portion of his article,i feel he has biased views on the railway issues of kerala.People of TN have suffered at the hands of keralite officers who control zonal and Divisonal positions.Why Coimbatore was neglected so badly?(by Palakkad division)why Mallu contractors only will get all plump contracts?Why almost all TN bound trains should go through kerala?Why Mallus dominate the officer ranks even in TN railway offices? Please know the truths before taking one side views. Otherwise, hats off to him for exposing the sham of the so called secularists - communal cong/DMK/Commies, etc.

India is lucky to not have Sashi in the UN chief
by Arun Venkataraman on Apr 14, 2009 06:59 PM  | Hide replies

Its fortunate that Shashi Tharoor didnt make the UN Chief, there was no possible benefit had he become for India. It was proved pretty clearly in his stint at UN that India was hardly benefited, ofcourse he had to take an 'impartial' position since he was in UN. Nevertheless, he lost no oppurtunity to do his favourite pastime of Hindu bashing. btw, he has a canadian wife, lives american and yet he is a possible foreign minister, dont know which way pendulum will strike if he is a foreign minister.

He will do the remaining part of sale of India. The political parties should be careful to choose Ministers and heads of other decision making bodies. Should have a thorough verification of his history. Avoid anyone holding a green card. He can not do justice to India. He may have a legal right to hold any office. Use our discrimination to keep him away from such posts.

Hey Prakash,

You are also a genius just like Bala and Rahim. Rajeev is the main Genius, you are number three and bala number two. So all three of you please stand for election under a new banner. And take good care of hindu brothers and sisters.

Marad - have you forgot the story ?
by Prakash Narayanan on Apr 14, 2009 06:01 PM  | Hide replies


I congratulate Rajiv for this excellent article. Hindus of this nation are treated very badly every now and then by the kaangress and the communists.
Just remember about the incidents in Marad, Calicut. 8 hindu fishermen were brutally murdered by muslim fanatics. Kaangress and communists have forgotten those stories altogether. No one is bothered if hindus are targetted...
Kudos to Rajiv...

no, muslims did not get brutally murdered. muslims teased a hindu girl, there was an argument that became a riot, and three muslims and two hindus were killed.

why didn't it occur to the dead hindus' friends to ambush the muslims and hide the weapons in a temple? the muslims ambushed unarmed hindus sitting on a beach, massacred 8 of them, and then ran off and hid the bloodstained swords in a mosque.

muslims believe their lives are worth more than hindu lives.

bullshit
by arun mehta on Apr 14, 2009 05:15 PM  | Hide replies

the author almost sounds like a petulant child crying for attention. These are the kinds of people Hindus should never ever take seriously! the strength of our nation is in its pluralism which Tharoor always states and the pride of Hinduism is in its liberality. There is no point in competing to be intolerant just because others are the like that. This article should actually be removed for trying to whip up communal tensions! India is one and will always be one! im a hindu and i love all religions!

Sure, I respect your hindu sentiments- problem is Not that hindus don't respect other religions- but other religionists dont respect hinduism.to prove your liberalism -Shri Mehta please try your liberalism say in Kashmir, Or In Mizoram- if you succeed even a bit come back then we can debate. also please ponder- India canbe ONE oly till the time Hindus are in majority- the area, state which loses hindu majority- secessionism begins!!!

Hey Mahadevan,

You respect Shri Mehtas sentiments and you speak about how hindu sentiments are hurt in other states. Yes maybe they are being hurt and you have to do something about that but not by cursing and making things worse. Mr. Mehta respects all religions like most hindus and like many muslims who respect hindus and many christians who respect other religions. But the problem starts when you start your hate trip. Try and help instead of being part of a group out to hurt. None of these parties have any interest in improvement. Otherwise it would have happened many many years ago. The minute you take a side, they win and there is no room for improvement. I am sure you are a good man and with good people like you this nation will prosper and poor people will get their food and people will respect each other.

Kerala is a unique state. Hindus are 60%. Policy decisions of government are in favour of minorities. Hindus keep mum. National parties should open their eyes and keep an eye on their leaders from Kerala. Kerala Hindus are secular. Muslims has their own political parties. Christians has their own parties. Congress monopolized by Christians. Hindus are driven to the back bench. What a wonder? They have no organization to look after their interest. Every political party assures minorities of their interest. Political leaders cannot get sleep if they do not make a commitment to minorities the day before. Poor Hindus vote for all political parties. A backlash can be expected any moment from now.

what was expressed is the deep felt hurt of the hindu Psyche.i dont expect others( semitic minorities) to understand- but it is time they realise -or ignorance will at their peril, for a revolution-which the whole world will reverberate- is in the making.

Hey Mahadevan,

What happened to you. How did someone hurt you? Just tell me you what you do for a living and a bit of your self. I will give you a remedy. If you have been mistreaed, there has to be justice. If you feel bad for someelses mistreatment then you should help them, instead of cursing others. Be true to yourself, have a soul, be a proud hindu who is capable of being a complete man.
