TAGORE AND NATIONALISM
by TAMIL KELVAN on Mar 07, 2016 10:55 AM  | Hide replies

I think intellectuals have lost their thinking capacity.If Tagore is for human religion why should he fight for INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE. The commentator should explain why did sing JANAGANA MANA? I am confused about the identity of INDIA. LET KANHAIYA KUMAR please explain wht do you want.If India is a nation of ethnic tribes and Hinduism does not have natural right why should there be country? Why did not you accept SIR C.P.RAMASWAMY IYER'S CONCEPT OF CONFEDERATION OF INDIAN STATES AND NOT INDIAN UNION. Are you bold enough to admit at last only Sir C.p has won or PERIYAR and GANDHIJI UTTERLY GOT DEFEATED? If you are inteleectually honest and sincere adopt SIRC.P'S concept of CONFEDERATION OF INDIAN STATES or Periyar's independent sub latern India.Please don't raise slogans of INDIA UNITY IN DIVERSITY since Unity itself denotes absorption and not amalgamation. Be clear in your idea and not empty and verbose slogans. There can only be two concepts--either INDIA is a unitary nation or SIR C.P.'S AND PERIYAR'S confederation of Indian states

A nation cannot survive treason from within
by Vijay Kumar on Mar 07, 2016 10:40 AM  | Hide replies

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself" - what Smriti irani quoted a roman philosopher suits this occasion. They raised slogans against India, to break it, to destroy it, and yet managed to garner some support from the students. Their language is self victimizing, oppression, freedom of speech etc diverting and most importantly dividing the thoughts of common man. They spin you round so much that you will forget what is the danger to your country, you will forget that they actually threatened you, the country. While our soldiers are sparing their lives for our freedom, within the country these vested forces try to divide it, at the very notion of its existence for political gains. The policy of left has been the same throughout the history, throughout the world. Funny, wherever they managed to accomplish their goals, they offered none of what they are asking you today. I think of which communist country has freedom of speech offered so widely that lead to their ideology prevailed.. They killed religions, faiths, distorted histories, abused sentiments, jailed priests until they were rotten to death. They harmed religions like Christianity, Islam in other countries. Th

Their way of attacking religions is notable. Like they encourage counter views of sentiments with-in a religion, and break them. Like they did it with Greek-Catholics and exterminated them to obsolete. History teaches us important findings, if we are prepared to learn from it. Jai hind

Bharat Mata
by sawan on Mar 07, 2016 10:29 AM

The very literate author don't have logic behind the bharat mata, it is very simple mother of all, no need to praise goddess but remember to praise always to our mother. Different kind of mentally sick authors are their who are trying to debate on illusion of their own mind, rather being practical. If Gandhi would have been today, he made one more Pakistan. Where were these authors when pakistan was crushing Bangladeshi's. These are the coward people who are ready to make our country slave one more time. They don't want to learn from their past. 1000 years of slavery still has no impact on these sick people.

We are talking about humanity. Do we think forgetting humanity and start atrocity against certain gender, religion or community (Caste) will unify us make us great as a nation.

confused
by Force Kirpan on Mar 07, 2016 10:24 AM

what has tagore got to do with JNU row ? ...the interviewer and interviewee both seem to me as more in theatrics and less on content.

were there not communal riots during tagore times ? ..

these leftists want to break up india by encouraging opposing views. we should have diversity and everyone has a place in india... but in what sense ? ..if everyone objects to others views then this nation will break up.

this simple logic is lost on this man ranabir who is on heavy dose of marx and lenin, who actually does not belong to this land nor their philosophy suits us... JNU is full of dreamers and idealists... this is dangerous for a practical nation building

Absurd article
by anil sood on Mar 07, 2016 10:24 AM

Author seems to be a big fool writing absurd and his reasoning is also absurd. There woulfd be cold war if such things happen and if what Tagore had said and under what conditions I don't know but nation is supreme irrespective of religion or caste. Democracy is there, you vote out the party or people you don't like but you can'r abuse India and talk of decimating it. Rediff is deliberately deviating from the issue being the channel run by Brinda's sister. Developed democracies too don't tolerate all this non sense. Then why people against this nation are being fed from the money collected by the govt. in terms of taxes. Kanhaiya is there for last 7-8 years without completing his Ph.D as he is enjoying the high subsidy provided by JNU and indulging in anti national activities. lawyers made him to change the slogan from azadi from Hindustan to azadi from poverty. Shameless people abusing the motherland and hailing terrorists.
