Jammu & Kashmir erupts once again
Religious unrest in the troubled Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir rose to levels not seen since the late 1980’s, after the state government’s decision to grant the use of approximately 40 hectares of land to the Sri Amarnathji Shrine Board for provision of overnight housing and food for the millions of Hindu pilgrims who visit the site every year.
After several days of protests and rioting by Muslims in the state, the Jammu & Kashmir State Government revoked the decision to …

What are Muslims on about? Why are they insecure they might be reduced to a minority, if so why don’t they move to their given Muslim homeland of Pakistan?
Imagine if Muslim Pakistanis in Bradford started refusing non-muslims to come into Bradford out on the insecurity that they might become a minority? Is this acceptable? They are just insecure and if the Indian government do not give the much needed land for thousands and thousands of Amaranth devotees, they will have basically given into Islamic extremism

This whole situation is totally messed up. I can’t believe that there would be such a massive uproar over a little help for the Amarnath pilgrimage. What is the world coming to?

It makes out that Hindus are all to blame and being unnecessarily aggressive. Talk about only telling half the story!

Just reading the following makes me angrier about the whole situation.
“The shrine in Amarnath, where an ice Shiv Lingam in a cave is the focal of veneration, is one of the four holiest sites for Hindus. It is accessible only in July and August every year.
The arduous trek on foot or ponies for the pilgrimage is undertaken under intense security since various terrorist groups have attacked devotees in recent years.
The proposal to lease out a piece of land to the Amarnath board was made in order to build temporary sheds for tens of thousands of pilgrims who often get stranded in biting cold, bad weather and, very often, snowfall and landslides.
Some years ago, more than 250 pilgrims perished in a landslide.”

Apparently temporary beds and safety measures for Hindu pilgrims are too much to ask for.

If Geelani regards himself as pakitani and other s like him, then GET OUT AND LEAVE FOR PAKISTAN.
The article 370 should be scrapped.
Kashmir is ancestrally and alienable part of Bharat Mata.
Tjhe Kashmiri pandits are still not allowed to return to their ancestral lands.
Oh Shubhas Chandra Bose type leader is required to properly handle this situation.

These guys don’t want Kashmir. The moderates are not appeased by land grants. These guys want to take over India and destroy India and any worship of Hindu deities. Their political agenda is a cover for the destruction of Hindu and Indian secular culture.
If there are armed groups marching in India calling for the downfall of India, these armed groups constitute a revolutionary army and should be attacked full force by the Indian armed forces. Anything less is to encourage the next splinter group to form armies/militias to overrun the country.

The country was partioned on the basis of religion. Its the folly of Nehru and the likes that we still have problems in Hindustan. The Muslims in India should join their own kind in Pak or Middle East

What the hell is going on this country. Practically hindus are the second class citizen in India. You are requested please come to India and see the plight of Hindus in every state. In Jamu and kashmir is only the tralors in a inema. In AP the chief Minister himself is a chrstian. He is doing everything for the Muslim(5 % reservation) and special piligrim to Jeruselam for Chrstias. This is only happen in India. Because the reote controll is in the hand of Mrs.Sonia Maino Gandhi-who herself is Catholic Chrstaian. Mrs.Ambica Soni, Ajit Jogi, Jaya Prada, Jaya Sudha these all are converted Chrstian and very close to Sonia. This nited Pro Agressive Allinace is known as UPA govt at centre is dividing this country on the basis of religion.If right wing raise there voice they defamed as communal.But in other hand there is no problem if Mulayam, lau openly support to SIMI like organisation. What can u expect for hindus in this boneless country. This is the fact in India.Jai Hind.

Does anyone know of stats behind Indian vote banks:
Do muslims only vote for muslims?
do christians only vote for christians?
Do Hindus only vote for Hindus?
If one knew this, it could be used to build coalitions and power sharing across party lines to support a true Hindu parliament - bypass the party structure.

muslims like the true patriots they are (NOT) block vote for any scumbag whether “hindu” or muslim that panders to their desire of going back to 7th cent arabia.
xtians are more mixed, the “dalit” xtians vote for any scumbag who promises them reservations while in north east they vote for various regional parties that make noises about independence.
hindus mostly vote based on caste or promises of freebies (free tvs, free electricity etc) except maybe in areas like Gujarat. Don’t forget that Hindus also have a sizeable number of drohis/scumbags (they would be beheaded if they were muslim) like kamlesh who also vote for whichever party panders to osama types.
So the end result is a constant decrease in Hindu population % (85% to less than 80 today) along with blasts every month.

So a hindu political movement would woo the muslims and xtians into chaos and strengthen a hindu identity.
Bring self declared “tolerant” muslims into support of egalitarianism (unified civil code) and how this would mean that they would be empowered because they would succeed if they were treated as true equals, bring xtian dalits back into hinduism by supporting hindu dalit reservations and pensions, and engage in propaganda about how jesus worships Indra (our father in heaven) and “hindu xtians” can bypass jesus and straight to Brahman.
easier said than done, eh?
