Hindus Fight for Marriage Rights in Pakistan

Hindus Fight for Marriage Rights in Pakistan Just Like Gays are Fighting for Marriage Rights in the West.   By Linda Brock Lahore, Pakistan (CHAKRA) – A Hindu couple, Mukesh and Padma in Hyderabad Pakistan, tied the knot with a traditional Hindu ceremony but in a fashion different from the rest. The wedding, while having the seven pheras (seven circles around the holy fire) was held on the streets for two purposes. The start of a new relationship for the couple as well as to publicize a stance against the complete disregard of Hindu couples existence. Since 1947, the Muslim-backed Pakistani government has not recognized Hindu married couples as legally married. Due to this ignorance and disregard for Hindu individuals, many families have had to deal with social, psychological and even domestic problems including domestic violence against women, says Guru Sukh Dev, the pandit who solemnized the Hindu ceremony with Vedic verses.

A Lion Who Thinks He is a Mouse

The Plight of Hindus – A Lion Who Thinks He is a Mouse? By Francois Gautier I have fought for the Kashmir Pandits ever since I covered Kashmir in the nineties and saw them flee helpless and terrified. In 2005, I received the Natchiketa Award of Excellence in Journalism at the hand of the PM in Lok Sabha and with the prize money, I started a Foundation FACT (Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism) and my first exhibition was on the plight of the KP. You can see information and pictures on it here . HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was so touched by it, that He took it all over the world with Him. We showed it to the Polish Parliament, the Israeli parliament, the Scottish Parliament, in the Commonwealth Club in London and even to the US Congress in Washington, which led to a Resolution on the plight of the Kashmir Pandits. But I have to tell you something, Hindus are still a huge majority in India , but it’s like a lion who thinks he is a mouse and does not know its

'Flash Mob’ directionless and ineffective !

Pune (Maharashtra) : Inhuman rape case in Delhi, incidents of oppression of women taking place frequently, rulers’ indifferent stand towards such incidents; besides their wasting breath by only promising to do many things for people ! To express their anger against all the above things, youth from Pune got together on Republic Day at Mahatma Gandhi Road and performed a ‘Flash Mob’ and disappeared. ‘Flash Mob’   The basic concept behind ‘Flash Mob’ is taken from western countries. The meaning of it is to come together for a while and dance on the roads. The persons, who take part in dance, suddenly come, dance and disappear also suddenly. Although the purpose of youth dancing on M G Road was good, the path undertaken (or danced) by them was contemporary; but will creating such chaos on the road, create awareness? It is doubtful that how many of the viewers could know the purpose behind such dance. The common citizens felt that youn

'Saffron terror’ charges a conspiracy to defame Hindus - Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi

Citing a UN resolution which had found hands of Pakistani terrorists behind the Samjhauta blasts, veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi On Saturday said linking saffron with terrorism is nothing but an attempt to defame the Hindu community. “They say again and again that Hindu terrorists were involved in Samjahuta blasts. I want to tell Shinde, Chidambaram and the Centre that there is a resolution of UNSC’s Committee on Sanctions which states that Arif Kasmani, the chief coordinator of LeT, had funded the Samjhauta blasts, with the al Qaeda providing staff for it,” Joshi said. He read out a document in support of his claim and said the resolution had quoted Pakistan’s Home Minister Rehman Malik as saying in January 2010 that Pakistani terrorists were hired for the blasts. “Although these findings have come out, still these people are talking about ‘Hindu terror’. This is such a dirty politics and conspiracy to defame the Hindus of the country,”

Mehboobnagar : miscreants damaged an idol of Lord Hanuman

Police charge with Tear Gas Mehboobnagar (AP) : On 25 th January at Mehboobnagar in Andhra Pradesh (AP), miscreants damaged an idol of Lord Hanuman. (Incident which occurred on 25 th January is published by us today after 7 days because other news agencies did not publish the same. If such incident had occurred with fanatic Muslims, it would have been promptly spread all over the world. Anti-Hindu media always suppress news about attacks on seats of worship of Hindus ! Hindus should boycott such media ! – Editor SP) After the incident, enraged pro-Hindu Organizations and parties tried to hold demonstrations by blocking the road; but fanatic Muslims pelted stones at them. (Since fanatics pelted stones at Hindus, it shows that fanatic Muslims are only behind the incident of damaging idol. Establishment of Hindu Rastra is a must to stop such insolence of fanatics permanently ! – Editor SP ). Police charged at Hindus with canes instead of t
