RE: Re :BTN: Re: India minus RSS: How it would be ? Mr. Amresh Mishra's Book Vs Sadhuji's Book

I haven't read the book. Yet, RSS, a 20th Century Organization, which is not keeping itself update for leading youths of India in 21st century will fast lose its sheen. Half-clad Khaki - Lathi Brand needs refinement and sophistication in order to imbibe indianness amongst Indians in terms of gaining broader perspectives to have our vibrant hinterland. Rhetorics against anti religous conversion wll no longer work for any organization unless they offer something different. RSS has failed to provide any alternatives, even in the events of growing regionalism amongst British unified India in 21st century. RSS is constantly failing to act against those who are weakening India from financial capital to political capital to knowledge capital. RSS has already failed enhancing the level of regional aspiration to national aspiration. Lack of interest in learning and accepting any langauages in the form of national langauage is hurting Nationalism. RSS never worked for evolving national conscencus on these issues rather wasted time in providing and extending poltical milegae against anti-religous activities to BJP. Furthermore, RSS failed to come up with any schools and colleges that stand tall in front of St. Xaviers Schools and Colleges, in Ranchi, Jharkhand or elsewhere. It is time to introspect........in 21st century and a fast yearning of information age.

Hi Chandan,
               Whenever u will attack Manoj here. Aman and Rajiv are always there to protect him. This scenario I am

watching for last couple of years. I am sure these three are very active member of RSS terror group and they say whatever to protect RSS . You are just hitting your head on the wall.

 
Thanks
Tanweer

Hello,

First of all you dont deserve to say Jai Bihar or Jai Hind. has ever tanveer said that he is not from India. At least I have not heard him saying that. Even then you have erected a wall between what your wrote (Chandan/ Aman/Rajiv / Manoj. etc having different voice and enjoying Tanveer) us and Tanveer. And my dear fotr godsake, pls dont include fundamentalist and separatist Manoj in my category. Forf me, Manoj is  as equal as separatists in J&K. My dear , rajtantra is now matter of past and now loktantra rules. You will have to forget that once upon a time you used to rule over the country as muslims have forgotten after moghul rule.

I think, if members if this group continue to spread hatred and divisive language here, we should change name of this group as hindustoday or anything else but not Bihartoday.

This is now an eye-opener for us. Comparing RSS with Al Qaeda???

Gazni/Gori/Babur/Aurnagzeb or even Khilzi/Iltutmis/Tuglak came and rule our country because there was one King in Chitthor, one in Jaipur, One in Udaypur and One in Jodhpur (all smaller country were part of Rajshthan that time). Same thing started happening here Dost. We are not king but see the voice.. Chandan/Aman/Rajeev/Manoj etc. etc.. having different voice and Tanweer is enjoying it. I know most of us don't care, because we are not affected. But go to Jharkhand/Chattisgadh/MP and see how Lakra/Murmu etc. etc. are going to diiferent fold. I swaer it's our fault and we are one who are responsible not to take care of them, but for god sake please stop this division and think about Hindu religion upliftment.

Please acknowledge the fact. And the fact is we are shrinking populus. No other religion in world shrinked in the pace how we are shrinking. Saying that Nepal/Mauritus are Hindu country is kind of farce. Have you ever heard in any other country (more than 158 countries) that xyz became Hindu. We get away with arguement that we are soft/lenient and our religion never force anybody. Time has gone, be organized, have your own set of methodology to save our society and culture otherwise we'll be extinct. RSS is doing the same thing with some loop holes and we should try to remove those holes instead of body.

I know we are not directly affected and there will be some counter argument but that was in time of Gazni and Gori as well.

Jai Hind. Jai Bihar

Rajeev
