often goes out of its way, sometimes in very churlish fashion, to try and keep its jingoistic hyndutva voter base happy by making one move or the other to be seen as anti-muxlim (the latest example being the re-naming of Aurangzeb road in Delhi).
But perhaps the easiest and the best way for the Modi govt. to make its core hyndutva voters very happy is to simply abolish the Haj subsidy !!
Why on earth does the Modi govt. still persist with one of the most unreasonable among govt. handouts ??
The Congress led UPA never tried to abolish it.
But one would have expected the BJP govt. to surely do it !
What stops the Modi govt. from doing away with the Haj subsidy ?
After all, it surely looks unreasonable from any angle to maintain it.
Is the Modi govt. also trying to *appease the minority* ??
The tragedy at Mecca is very sad. Some of the friends are writing hostile language about the deceased persons and their faith. This ia an offence u/s 153A IPC read with 66/67 Information Technology Act.Please if one can do no good or console the family of the dead persons, at least he should maintain silence instead of ridiculing them and insulting their faiths and religion. Accidents do take place every where. So do not make mockery of the law and humanity and Indians who died there.

The deaths have happened because of ignorance and foolish behaviour of these religious people. So the remedy is not speaking kind words buy to address the unscientific views religion brings with it and exhort people to come out of their blind faith and superstitious thinking. No offence.

I am sure you will use the same words, when the next Stampede occurs in a Temple or Yagnya or Satsang. I will be on the lookout.
Wow this looks bad. The people are walking in designated roads wit the police keeping a watch as if these are jailed convicts. Same is the case with some Ganpati mandals where the devotees are pushed like dogs. Its us end of the day which is giving so much name and fame to these places of worship. Scene is to stay away
