Sugata Bose @YouTube : This young lady, Tina, like many others, speaks of logic in a bombastic way but is woefully short of it. Gullible to the core, she fell into the proselytising trap of Islam and by dint of past good karma got out of it before it was too late. She had neither read Swami Vivekananda nor Dayananda Saraswati nor Sri Aurobindo nor Sita Ram Goel nor Ram Swarup which would have given her sufficient academic training in the Sanatan Dharma to avoid such a craftily laid conversion trap. Every Hindu should be exposed to the thought of these great Hindu thinkers. The security of our Hindu brethren lies in studying these seminal thinkers of the Sanatan Dharma. One seriously hopes that this young lady now studies these Sanatani thinkers and comes to a solidified stable philosophical base that will secure her future without fail. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Sharmistha Chatterjee : There is much to do for the Dharma. I am spending night and day labouring for the cause. Perhaps I'll have to be reborn to continue with this dharmyuddh. Who knows what lies in store? Only this much I know that I shall not rest till the regeneration of the Hindus is complete and the Sanatan Dharma is safe and secure from the assault of barbarians.

Sugata Bose @Vidya K : I am a practitioner of the Upanishadic truths you refer to within my limited capacity. So be you. And likewise, I am sure, others shall follow suit. Thus, with the individual the movement ever starts and gains momentum over time to draw millions in till the cumulative strength is able to withstand adversarial onslaughts and survive the ravages of time. Let us not be defeated before waging war. Let us not even expect anything from others when we have as yet failed to deliver the goods ourselves. Instead, let us bid each other godspeed in this collective resistance to conversion that is eating into our vitals. Appreciation and encouragement would do a world of good instead of denunciation. Even I do grumble about the passivity of my Hindu brethren to my posts here on Facebook but none can doubt my sincere and sustained effort at awakening them. Be you my helpmate in this regard and raise consciousness about the dangers that threaten us as a community, culture and civilisation. Sure enough that will work wonders. Right now not even a single soul is eager to conjointly work with me. As you are evidently a practitioner of the Upanishadic truths, I am sure you will comply with this request of mine unless, of course, you, like some Advaita Vedantists, hold this universe as an insubstantial dream to be renounced through discrimination and, thus, see no sense in fighting for our civilisational survival. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Sanjay Choudhry : Read the Qur'an and find out. It is the scriptural mandate of Islam that all Muslims should practise the Dawah.

Sugata Bose @Sanjay Choudhry : Not at all. Read the Qur'an before you speak. This is explicitly there in the text and is mandated on the Muslims which is why they practise the Dawah.

Sugata Bose @Harshita Mishra : Brotherly love is all that I can give, genderwise male that I am. In this earthly incarnation I cannot offer sisterly love, for my psychophysiological condition constrains me from doing so. But I offer my undiluted brotherly love to all my sisters and brothers who have stood by me, and so do I offer you, sister Harshita, the same. I hope I have clarified my position and cleared any linguistic confusion that may have crept in.

Sugata Bose @Utpal Aich : Wonderful piece quoted by you from Netaji's 'The Indian Struggle'. A most accurate appraisal of the Mahatma by Netaji--- perceptive, penetrating.

Sugata Bose @Arey Noor-e-kamal, kuchh gutftagoo karey?

Sugata Bose @Arey, Gulshan-e-Bahar, zara fursat toh bana mere liye.

Sugata Bose @Khalid Umar : Burkha and beard. Bravo, what a brilliant alliteration!

Sugata Bose @YouTube (RKM monks and devotees dancing round a seated Swami Purnatmananda) : Effeminacy in exhibition, something which Swamiji detested.

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Superbly put! I call it 'geosarcasm'. Coined the word just now under your inspired input.

Sugata Bose @Indranil Bhattacharyya : Yes, but a lot of early Vedic civilisation was in that part of Aryavarta which is today Pakistan.

Sugata Bose @Ranita Indic : But Swami Vivekananda hailed Michael Madhusudan Dutt as a literary genius and his epic poetic work, 'Meghnadbadh Kabya', as a literary masterpiece the like of which, in his considered opinion, was not to be found anywhere in contemporary Europe. He especially praised the poet for his uniquely new way of representing the epic saga while simultaneously showering accolades on Dutt's representation of the character of Ravan for the manly valour it exhibited after Meghnad had been felled by Lakshman. Deeply distressed by the death of his valorous son with a grieving wife (Mandodari) imploring him not to enter the battlefield, Ravan, like a true hero and a karmayogi, cast aside his grief and rushed to war with the enemy, a spirit that Swamiji felt was to be imbibed by his passive countrymen to throw off the foreign yoke. Swamiji was in conversation with his lay disciple Sharatchandra Chakrabarty and got so animated in discussion about the epic that he asked the latter to fetch the book from the Belur Math library downstairs and then asked him to recite the relevant portion. The disciple failing to recite it with the said vigour, Swamiji himself took up the book and started reciting the way he deemed it should be. He further lamented the fallen state of the Bengali intelligentsia then for their failure to duly appreciate such a masterpiece and censured them for their lowly caricature of the grand epic in the form of 'Chhunchobadh Kabya' (the poem on the killing of a mole) which they presented the public to poohpooh the masterful poet Madhusudan. Swamiji was grieved at this lowly jealousy of the people which he characterised as a vicious attribute of a slave race.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Kumar Datta : Why have you been posting the same comment over and over again for the past several years? Innovate and be topical please.

Sugata Bose @Prasanta Kumar Datta : But why the same comment on every post of mine with no bearing to the content of the post? Your personal spiritual aspiration is laudable but need it be made public thus and, that too, without any variation whatsoever in linguistic terms? Will such public expression conduce to your spiritual fulfilment or is it not better to allow privacy of spiritual emotion gather force till awakening comes in the fullness of time flooding your being? Do not take me amiss, though. I fully appreciate your sentiment but find it misplaced in the comment box where observations related to the post are expected. Private affirmations of devotion are best kept private, I feel. Sadhu Nag Mahashay, a householder devotee of Sri Ramakrishna and a highly realised soul, used to say, "Jato hoy gupta, tato hoy pokto. Jato hoy byakto, tato hoy tyakto." ("The greater the secrecy in spiritual matters, the firmer the hold on it. And the greater the public expression of spirituality, in equal measure is its wasteful loss.") Once more, I say  do not misunderstand me but take it as due discussion on a subject raised by one who has witnessed you commenting thus for a protracted period of time, quite uniquely in the selfsame way with identical articulation. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Kirti Malkan : This post is by way of response to the very pertinent question raised by you in the comment section of my previous post. Work is in progress here. Keep reading please right till the end. The post will take hours on end to see final fruition.

Sugata Bose @Siddhabrata Das : Syamaprasad Mookerjee was not the breaker of Bengal but the saviour of Hindu Bengalis for whom he fought to carve out West Bengal. As such, he was the maker of West Bengal by default. Otherwise, the whole of Bengal would have been lost to Islam in Partition. To compare him with Chittaranjan Das who had died in 1925 and was, thus, historically dated elsewhere with respect to Syamaprasad Mookerjee, is a travesty in historical terms.

Sugata Bose @Nitin Pandit : I will write on it in detail. But you will have to wait. My past post on this subject has been in Bengali and I will have to trace it. You must regularly read my writings and not infrequently so. Then and then alone will you find your questions duly answered as a matter of course. Also, keep communicating thus in the comment section of my posts.

Sugata Bose @Nilanjana Chakraborty : You write beautifully and with power and punch.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Speaker's Corner---Evangelical Christian trying to convince an Ex-Muslim lady by name Shahada] : The lady is too intelligent to be cornered with such stupid Christian arguments about God sending His children to Hell for failing to accept Him. Is spirituality a child's play? Read the Sanatan Dharma and come to enlightened understanding thereof of your Bible in Vedantic terms.

Sugata Bose @Ranita Indic : Bankim Chandra Chatterjee was of all the literary giants of the time the truest nationalist. He was unambiguous in identifying our cultural enemies and unhesitant in articulating his views about them, taking care further to caution the Hindus about the urgency of defending their civilisation and showing them the path in unequivocal terms to do it. Reverential prostrations at the feet of this mighty wielder of the pen who fulfilled the old adage in this regard to the hilt.

Sugata Bose @Deep Mukherjee: The problem is that such indoctrination in Muslim families begins from birth. Before rationality eventually through education seeps in, the brain has been moulded in the medieval Muslim cast to stifle independent thinking and either destroy the rational instincts or delay development till a critical rejection of absolutist Islamic doctrines becomes well nigh impossible owing to the passage of time and consequent adjustment of the nervous system---despite its fleeting rebellions---into the conservative pattern of submissive reactions.

The human brain is highly susceptible to suggestions, highly plastic, so that it can be given any desired shape, and if the potter starts clay-moulding early, the pot hardens into an irreversible mould where it prefers death in the potter's cause than denial of the potter's handiwork.

You see, psychology works on a first come, first served basis, and second takers, unless they be stupendously strong, do not stand much of a chance in disrupting original stance and help the individual start afresh.

The Reformation, the Enlightenment and the Renaissance all had to battle hard against unyielding Catholicism, and now it is the turn of intransigent Islam to face the force of science and reason.

The ideological war has to be fought on all fronts and humanity rescued from the octopus-grip of medieval monstrosity.  In this ideological war every intellectual kshatriya must play his part as units in a freely orchestrated whole, a contradiction in terms, perhaps, but not quite so. It means that conscious citizens must conscientiously play their parts and the overall harmony of collective effort will usher in the dawn of an enlightened world civilisation. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Deep Mukherjee: Muslims are scripturally enjoined to practise the 'al taqiyyah' or deception/concealment/lying to further the cause of Islam. Hence, their statements in defence of morally indefensible position need not be given much credence to. One must form one's own opinion about Islam by studying a wide cross-section of books, both primary source material and secondary analyses and interpretation, as well as critiques of Islam by non-Muslim experts such as those from Christian, Hindu, Jewish and secular backgrounds. Above all, the bloody Islamic history must be studied and commonsense applied as to where the Islamic doctrines have thus far led humanity and threaten to lead it hereon. The Islamic terms must be understood well, especially jihad and jizyah, zimmi and taqiyyah, murtad and munafiq, kufr and kafir, hoor and jannat, jahannum and Dajjal, Ghazwa-e-Hind and mushrik, and so on and so forth.

While Muslim apologists, trained in western universities in applogetics, keep defending Islam, ex-Muslims are setting fire to the flammable foundations of the faith. An ideological war is on with 24% of North American Muslim youths having already renounced their faith, and the numbers are swelling everywhere.

Apostasy is a crime in Islam which is not a religion as such but a Deen or a religiopolitical way of life, ideally to be lived in an Islamic state (Dar-ul-Islam), but if not so, then to be lived in consonance with Qur'anic injunctions and the Sunnah (the way of the Prophet Muhammad). As such, apostasy in Islam is deemed a criminal offence akin to treason in s democracy and is punishable by death as per the Sharia.

Entry into Islam by chanting the 'Kalima' is easiest of all the world's faiths but exit is not permitted. Hence, millions of disenchanted Muslims for fear of persecution, do not publicly announce their disapproval and disbelief in Islam. Family pressure, the pressure of the Islamic community (the Ummah), ostracisation from family, relatives and friends, chances of financial loss, disinheritance from family property, divorce from wife, beating by family and the worst threat of death from anybody close or far who may be a fanatical follower of the faith, keep these ex-Muslims below the radar. But they, nonetheless, are in the tens of millions and are loosening the structure of the Ummah and undermining Islam.

This is the situation and it does not augur well for the future prospects of the faith. The new generations are questioning erstwhile unquestioned tenets of Islam even at the risk of their lives. The recent hijab unrest in Iran following Masah Amini's death is a pointer to this effect.

Meanwhile the dynamics of geopolitics, Christian proselytisation and the Hindu remaissance in India are posing terrible challenges to Islam. It is at war within and without. The outcome of it all we can only wait and watch but rest we may not. It is bounden on us to save our Sanatan civilisation and thwart the malicious intent of rising Islam in India. Then the subcontinent has to be reconverted back to the ancient Vedic fold from where they have been perforce perverted to Islam.

Europe is now under siege. Here the Christians, the secularists and the Muslims are waging war on each other in units or in shifting alliance. Douglas Murray predicts the demise of Europe but I prophesy the fightback of Europe to deny Islam its attempted stranglehold. Let us see what the future has in store for Europe, for India and the world. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Biswadip Biswas : Websters, I think is the best. But you get everything online these days. So, purchasing is often wasteful. You could look it up online and meet your necessities.

Sugata Bose @Biswadip Biswas : Ah, you put me on a pedestal where I scarce belong! Tharoor's style, though, is different, his content and presentation characteristic of his personality, upbringing, experience and erudition, and mine of my evolution along my own radial line. Tharoor is more given to literary flourishes in oration rather than in writing where he simplifies his style much to cater to his readers' convenience with an eye towards the commercial interests of his books. His style is more on the literary-artistic side and less philosophically-rationally rigorous, if I am not too sweeping in my statement. However, Shashi Tharoor's vocabulary is vast, his reading wide and varied, but his conscious assemblage of alliteration to repetitive effect a feature of his speeches on the British drainage of Indian wealth. His intellect is sharp but not deep, debating skills pronounced and an overall grace that is his, abides like aroma in all his speeches, discussions and debating encounters. He is a thorough gentleman who, but for his almost dogmatic adherence to surface liberalism that deliberately chooses to ignore pertinent historical realities of our much-molested motherland, would have cast his name in the annals of our history instead of writing it on water, to pilfer the aqueous quote from poet Keats. Herein lies our difference, although I must hasten to add that I stand in Tharoor's comparison as but a mole hill to a mountain. I am forthright in my views, not so chiselled to liberal 'perfection' but rather caustic quite often out of sheer desperation on beholding the plight of my co-religionists and our culture that is being virally eaten into by our own collective negligence, the conspiracy of proselytising cults and the betrayal of the leftists. Here Shashi Tharoor maintains a studied silence. Of what avail is erudition if it serves not deeper civilisational interests?
