Modi is not working for Hindus, he is working to build India into a strong nation

By Harasankar Adhikari 

Swami Vivekananda opined that religion is the driving force of an individual, society, and nation. Religion is an institutional discipline that binds a society with some definite rules of disciplined life for better social, economic, and cultural practice. It usually determines the progress and development of its believers. Different racial or religious groups have their own rituals or practices, and these are surely relevant for a better society.
India is a nation of pluralism—a multi-religious nation—and it is the diversity of unity. Hinduism (Sanatana) is its dominant religion, and historically, it is a country of Sanatani, or a Hindu nation. Before 1975, it was not a secular nation. Mrs. Gandhi tactically amended and endorsed the word secular in its constitution. While India was divided on religious grounds, Muslims demanded a separate nation for the Islamic religious group. The majority of the nation remained in India, with a Hindu majority. But Hinduism lives with its tag of tolerance. It tolerates separate laws, separate systems of education, and so forth for Muslims. 
The political parties with secular faith are, in many ways, on the side of Muslims and for their votes only. Due to this one-sided nature, Muslims are involved in terrorism and their anti-national activities, which are not undermining the secular political parties as they are considered as captive vote banks. Here, the Hindu majority has no own will to protest against Muslim extremism. In many ways, these so-called secular political parties are blind.
Muslims have their own different religious organizations, and these are regularly doing anti-national acts and making plans and programs against the Hindus in a Hindu majority nation. These secular political parties have no voice against it, while secular people are criticizing Hinduism and undermining Hinduism as Hindu. Would they support anti-national and anti-Hindu acts by Muslims? 
Then why are they treating them as secular? They should declare them believers in the Muslim faith. The left philosophy has destroyed our traditional religious society, particularly in Bengal, during their 34-year rule, which implants a fractured Bengal society in all terms. That's why the left philosophy is very irrelevant in India, and it is also almost irrelevant in world society.
The BJP is now tagged as a Hindu political party by the secular political parties, and it is differently publicizing throughout the globe as a Hindu extremist party. It is trying to establish Hindu extremism in India, or it would walk towards a Hindu nation. What are the wrongs with the BJP if, in a Hindu majority nation, Muslims have their own extremist organizations, secular support, and others? 
These secular political parties have ever tried to educate Muslims to stop anti-national and anti-Hindu acts. Is there any action taken to rectify it? But many efforts are potentially added to encourage Muslims only for their votes, and Muslims are abused for vote loot.
Those who are criticizing Modi’s rule have to understand that Modi is not working for Hindus. He is working to build India into a strong nation, and the world leadership would be chaired by India. His different schemes are for all, and even he undertakes programs for Muslims’ progress and development. 
That's why there is a separate ministry for minorities. There is no separate ministry or scheme undertaken strictly for Hindus. The construction of the Rama temple, visits to various temples, or offering prayers never denote Hindu extremism. It is his faith in his own religion. Muslim leaders do the same act. But no one raises any questions. That means whatever a Muslim does is usually right and permissible. Are only acts of Hindu leaders for Hindutva? Is it justifiable and tolerable?
Therefore, all secular parties should rethink it and rectify its approach beyond religious sentiments because they are not at all protected from Muslim extremism. As an opposition, there is a need for true criticism of Modi's rule. It would promote the national development goal.

i am yet to understand what work is done by modi could be attributed to work towards society or for upliftment of human beings, not a single policy of his could contribute anything to society except , making rich more rich, his policy are pro rich and seem to be anti muslim, if you see example of assam caa - it has put hindus in numbers of 14 lakh on road and only 5 lakh muslims on road, while he says - there is no detention camp, amit sha says - they are building detention camps - which is true , if i go on an on, the series of lies begins from election promise , any leader if one is leader, does not srat lying to reach his goal, a Ram mandir or going to mandirs will not protect hindus or build a hindu based society, a mere word secular will not effect Indian democracy- Hindus do not believe each other nor has the capability to make a great society , because puja paths - it does nothing to promote harmoby, eradicate poverty and work towards knowledge promotions

Swami Vivekananda's views on caste and sexuality were 'painfully' regressive

By Bhaskar Sur* Swami Vivekananda now belongs more to the modern Hindu mythology than reality. It makes a daunting job to discover the real human being who knew unemployment, humiliation of losing a teaching job for 'incompetence', longed in vain for the bliss of a happy conjugal life only to suffer the consequent frustration.

Where’s the urgency for the 2,000 MW Sharavati PSP in Western Ghats?

A Hindu alternative to Valentine's Day? 'Shiv-Parvati was first love marriage in Universe'

By Rajiv Shah  The other day, I was searching on Google a quote on Maha Shivratri which I wanted to send to someone, a confirmed Shiv Bhakt, quite close to me -- with an underlying message to act positively instead of being negative. On top of the search, I chanced upon an article in, imagine!, a Nashik Corporation site which offered me something very unusual. 

Will Bangladesh go Egypt way, where military ruler is in power for a decade?

By Vijay Prashad*  The day after former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina left Dhaka, I was on the phone with a friend who had spent some time on the streets that day. He told me about the atmosphere in Dhaka, how people with little previous political experience had joined in the large protests alongside the students—who seemed to be leading the agitation. I asked him about the political infrastructure of the students and about their political orientation. He said that the protests seemed well-organized and that the students had escalated their demands from an end to certain quotas for government jobs to an end to the government of Sheikh Hasina. Even hours before she left the country, it did not seem that this would be the outcome.

By Harsh Thakor*  N. Venugopal has been one of the most vocal critics of the neo-fascist forces of Hindutva and Brahmanism, as well as the encroachment of globalization and liberalization over the last few decades.

Authorities' shrewd caveat? NREGA payment 'subject to funds availability': Barmer women protest

By Bharat Dogra*  India is among very few developing countries to have a rural employment guarantee scheme. Apart from providing employment during the lean farm work season, this scheme can make a big contribution to important needs like water and soil conservation. Workers can get employment within or very near to their village on the kind of work which improves the sustainable development prospects of their village.

'Failing to grasp' his immense pain, would GN Saibaba's death haunt judiciary?

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*  The death of Prof. G.N. Saibaba in Hyderabad should haunt our judiciary, which failed to grasp the immense pain he endured. A person with 90% disability, yet steadfast in his convictions, he was unjustly labeled as one of India’s most ‘wanted’ individuals by the state, a characterization upheld by the judiciary. In a democracy, diverse opinions should be respected, and as long as we uphold constitutional values and democratic dissent, these differences can strengthen us.

94.1% of households in mineral rich Keonjhar live below poverty line, 58.4% reside in mud houses

By Bhabani Shankar Nayak*  Keonjhar district in Odisha, rich in mineral resources, plays a significant role in the state's revenue generation. The region boasts extensive reserves of iron ore, chromite, limestone, dolomite, nickel, and granite. According to District Mineral Foundation (DMF) reports, Keonjhar contains an estimated 2,555 million tonnes of iron ore. At the current extraction rate of 55 million tonnes annually, these reserves could last 60 years. However, if the extraction increases to 140 million tonnes per year, they could be depleted within just 23 years.
