• Will the powerful pro- Hindu  organizations and organizations using the name of Dharmaveer Sambhaji Maharaj do something against such threat ? • What action is Modi Government going to take against Abu Azmi ? • If Aurangzeb is going to be glorified in the regime of Modi Government, it is a sign of bad days for Hindus ! It is also possible that Aurangabad could become another Kashmir ! Sambhajinagar (Maharashtra) :  Aurangzeb was most secular. Muslims cannot forget the sacrifice he has made.  (Aurangzeb was a cruel king who had imprisoned his own parents. He intimidated his brothers and had tortured Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj till death. Those, who consider such cruel Aurangzeb as a secular person, do not know the history ! – Editor, Dainik Sanatan  Prabhat)  The name of Aurangzeb is associated with this city; therefore, there would be bloodshed if the name is changed to Sambhajinagar.  ( Hindu  leaders had fought with Aurangzeb even after d...

Friends, I’d like to ask a very relevant question – Why can’t the  IPL  be postponed when our good neighbors have lost so many lives, in fact in 1000s to be precise? Why – doesn’t that tragedy deserve a courteous human touch, when all is lost of a chunk of our friendly fellow nation; can we not at least stop enjoying cricket for a few days to stand briefly together in these trying hours of grief of ill-fated  Nepal Earthquake?? If not, then what is the rationale and who gives whom the right to ask why  Arvind Kejriwal continued with his rally and speech which was held for a much larger cause, a huge purpose (unlike IPL) that in order to avert further tragedies from occurring, that of stopping farmers committing suicides! In the run up to the by now a kinda murder mystery thriller of Gajendra Singh of Dausa village, Rajasthan! The amazing BJP CM of Rajasthan Madame Raje – when asked about, if she’d plan a visit to the by now, famous suicide victims’ home at Da...

My younger son is a man of reason. He is obedient, reticent, agnostic and perfectionist. I may often disagree often with what he has to say but I always lend my ears to what he shares. During this  Nepal Earthquake  Calamity, he proffered a question, rather a statement:  Several religious scholars of all faiths attribute these apoplectic calamities to the wayward behavior and sins of mankind.  Have the natural calamities something to do with the moral behaviour of the victims?  The list of these transgressions consists of broad spectrum and varies from faith to faith. However, most of the people in Japan accept these catastrophic developments as an outcome of geological and climatic changes. The countries of these religious scholars spend a negligible amount The countries of these religious scholars spend a negligible amount on research and development to study the vicissitudes of nature or for the preparations of disaster management. They simply blame t...

Nepal  and Bihar (particularly Mithilanchal) share common geographical location, culture and to some extent history too (particularly the eastern Tarai region of Nepal).  Till  Sugauli agreement between India & Nepal in 1816, Eastern Tarai of Nepal was part of the Mithila territory having capital at Janakpur, now in Nepal. We have also shared a grief of flood, drought & earthquake like the natural disaster. The rivers like Koshi, Kamla-Balan, Gandak, Baghmati etc. all originates from Himalaya & flows through Nepal & North Bihar. Catchment area of all these rivers constitutes Nepal region which causes flood in North Bihar, resultantly vast loss of lives & property every year. In fact, Nepal is the natural allies of India. India all along helped Nepal with all its resources both in peace & turmoil, natural disaster, Infrastructure development ,with great respect of its sovereignty, even though Nepal time to time has shown coldness in relation...

The intelligence agencies have warned the Narendra Modi government of a threat posed by rising instances of Tablighi preachers entering India on tourist visas and starting religious preaching. The Union home ministry has alerted all states and UTs in an advisory that there is a major surge in individuals coming to India with tourist visas and then preaching Tablighi doctrine. The Tablighi Jamaat is a kind of back-to-basis movement that aims to turn ordinary Muslims into believers and to revive the faith. The movement has been banned in many countries as it is seen as encouraging extremism. The MHA letter last week says foreigners coming from Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, UAE, Qatar, Myanmar, France and Bangladesh, among others, were found indulging in this practice, and it asked states to identify such persons on an urgent basis and deport them immediately. Other countries from where such individuals have come include Algeria, Sri Lanka and Malaysia. The home ministry...

In an interview to BBC in February 1955, Babasaheb elucidated the reason why the British left India in 1947. Subsequently, Attlee agreed Netaji was the toughest challenge the Empire faced. Several defence and intelligence experts agreed, too. Why even after 70 years of his disappearance the people of India are so keen on finding out the truth about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose? A part of the answer has to do with what Netaji did for us. Declassified records, testimonies of those who had a ringside view of events coupled with sheer commonsense make it quite evident that Netaji dealt a body blow to the British Raj. As such, for us to brush under the carpet the poignant issue of his fate — how and where he actually died — would constitute a gross affront to his memory and all those associated with him. For reasons political, the authorities in India will never acknowledge the paramount role of Netaji in forcing the colonial British to transfer the power in 1947. Per...

Whatever Dr. Swamy and Sanjay Raut have expressed is truth and it is based on proper study and facts. Moin Siddiqui should note that this is not ‘Islamic state’ where he can behead people just because they are telling truth and Siddiqui is not agree with that. Also Hindus should unite and come ahead to protect Hindu leaders from Jihadis ! – Editor, HJS Senior  Bharatiya  Janata Party (BJP) leader Dr Subramanian Swamy got a death threat on Wednesday, April 22, from none other than controversial Muslim cleric Moin Siddiqui, the President of All India Faizan-E-Madina Council. Death threats are not something new for Dr Swamy, who is fighting a lone battle for what he calls the ‘Hindu Renaissance’ in India. But it is not just Dr Swamy who has received such threats, senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has also got a warning from the same entity that he will be killed. As per reports on  Jagran.com , Moin Siddiqui has yet again delivered a controversial remark. He has...

Joe Biden pins an epaulet on the  uniform of Vivek Murthy. (AP photo) Washington :  At about the same time the death of a farmer in New Delhi brought the capital’s attention on farmer suicides, a young Indian-American was invoking with gratitude the Indian roots of his success in the United States: his agriculturist grandfather’s resilience and sacrifice that led his parents emigration and his own remarkable achievement in this country. “By any reasonable measure, I shouldn’t be standing here. My father is the son of a farmer in rural India. He was supposed to have been a farmer, as was I,” Vivek Murthy recalled to a gaggle of supporters gathered at a military base in Fort Myer after he was administered oath (on a Bhagavad Gita) on Wednesday by vice president Joe Biden as the 19th surgeon general of the United States, America’s doctor-in-chief. Clearly unaware of the tumult in India over the farmer suicide, Murthy then added, “But for my grandfather’s insistence that...
