The official version of events raises scores of doubts. The team wanted simple clarifications from the Commissioner of Police, Nagpur and approached him continuously for five days. That the Commissioner persistently declined to meet the team and answer these simple queries, reveal his unwillingness and/or his inability to answer these questions.It also suggests that he chose to hide certain

What makes one or an organization terrorist?

While Americans have been focused on the war on terror, Iraq, and the future of democracy in the Middle East, democracy has been under siege in another part of the world. India -- the most populous of all democracies, and a country whose Constitution protects human rights even more comprehensively than our own -- has been in crisis. Until the spring of 2004, its parliamentary government was

A holy site in the small Indian town of Ayodhya has become the focus of communal strife between Hindu nationalists and Muslims - hundreds have been killed in the past two months. At stake is the plan, backed by rabble-rousing politicians, to build a temple in place of a ruined mosque. Behind it, Pankaj Mishra uncovers a saga of falsified history, opportunistic abbots and a spurious legacy of the

We give below, state-wise and district-wise, the particulars of Muslim monuments which stand on the sites and/or have been built with the materials of Hindu temples, and which we wish to recall as witnesses to the role of Islam as a religion and the character of Muslim rule in medieval India. The list is the result of a preliminary survey. Many more Muslim monuments await examination. Local

We have documented no less than seven widely publicised statements made by the VHP and BJP, in tandem since December 2002, that are indirect threats to demolish mosques and churches in different parts of the country, in the guise of ?liberating 30,000 Hindu temples?. These statements are particularly ominous in view of the as yet "incomplete" yet extraordinarily long list of shrines targeted

Women cannot become members of the R.S.S. The R.S.S. opposes the women's voting right. Only CHITPAWAN BRAHMINS (Blue eyed people - generally identified by low caste Hindus as "Cobras") can become top leaders of the R.S.S. Almost all leaders of this movement to date, from Hegdewar, Golwalkar, have belonged to this race. It seeks to eradicate Communism, Sikhism, Christianity and Islam from India.

"The RSS adopts a militant and aggressive attitude and sets itself up as the champion of what it considers to be the rights of Hindus against minorities. It has taken upon itself to teach the minorities their place and if they are not willing to learn their place to teach them a lesson. The RSS methodology for provoking communal violence is: a) rousing communal feelings in the majority community

There are people. Some of them are good, others quite good. Lot of them are bad, some very bad. Luckily, all the bad people happen to be in Hindu fundamental outfit, jointly grouped as "Sangh Parivar."Sangh in Sanskrit means group and Parivar in Hindi also means a group. A little redundandancy here that no one particularly cares. Some seventy-five years ago, a Congress party worker from Nagpur,
