Sugata Bose @Antara Sadhu : Happy birthday, Antara! All my blessings I shower on you on this auspicious day, the day of first reckoning.

Sugata Bose @Jagdish Suri : Gandhiji was not confused about Islam but constrained by temperament, conviction, circumstance and historical conditions.

Sugata Bose @Mashud Siam : But faith in what? Only in one narrative about God and life?

Sugata Bose @Agnimitra Paul : Well done. Do not listen to apologists who are now on the backfoot and are playing their old hand at pleading, praying and petitioning. Thus far for 49 years they have had a free reign and have increased their invasive space progressively. Thus far but now no more. Thank you for enforcing law and order in a lawless partitioned province of erstwhile undivided Bengal whose gory history of Hindus suffering at the hands of jihadis none can nor must ever forget. 'Never again', as the Jews say it in traumatic reminiscence of the Holocaust and blood-resolve never to allow its recurrence in any reincarnation of it. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Souvik Sen : Correct. Centre-road salat/namaz is to show political power. Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion and must be treated as such.

Sugata Bose @Arunangshu Mandal : Unless you make your profile public, your posts will not have a wider reach which is necessary to awaken greater awareness of our civilisational dangers.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [Know withVKG] : But jihad is Islam's foundational principle, Narendra Modiji. It is enshrined in the Qur'an by Allah's commandment. So, you are doing doublespeak here which, considering the Hindu philosophical predicament and traditional confusion in understanding on account of ignorance of the trinity of Islamic scriptural texts and your own political compulsions in such an Indian polity of much suffering and little realisation, is understandable but it betrays in terms of statement of truth. 🕉

Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : Come down, come down from your perched up position. We need your divine descent desperately. You lead, we follow to fight in your fertile footsteps. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Partha Ray Choudhuri : They cannot be forced to do so unless legislation enforces it. This is a democracy with all its demerits as well along with its multifarious merits. Can such a law be passed? It can---two child policy for all. But will it be passed?

Sugata Bose @DrMrityunjoy Mahato : Not possible in a liberal democracy. Would you prescribe punishment for monasticism, celibacy and bachelorhood as well then? Neither possible nor desirable. It is a matter of deep concern but also deep reflection as to how jihad may be eliminated from a country with 230 million plus Muslims subscribing to their Islamic tenets which has jihad as its core doctrine by way of divine commandment. The first step must be to eliminate madrassa education and replacing it with modern education. Other measures must follow. Politicians pandering to divisive politics on the basis of religion must be punished by law. Such laws are necessary but here again intractable difficulties will have to be surmounted.

Sugata Bose @DrMrityunjoy Mahato : Not feasible in a democracy based on the Constitutional first principle of JUSTICE.

Sugata Bose @Sai Nilayam : Completely wrong utterance of Shree Satya Sai Baba about the equivalence of all religions. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Obviously Baba was ignorant about the Qur'anic fundamental tenets coming down from Allah through Gibreel to Muhammad. Had he been aware or had cared to learn about them as only few Hindus do, he would have stood better off in his comprehension of the different world religions. Such blanket statements founded entirely on information-ignorance is typical only of Hindus and the sooner such vast influencers as Sai Baba rectify stance through reading and reflection instead of idle imagination, the better for the Hindus en masse. Such misguidance coming from seminal personalities have proved to be paralysing for Hindus in the past, depriving them of the right response to aggression meted out to them by the proselytising Abrahamic faiths, and continues to foster delusion in their minds about the content and intent of these antithetical faiths. It is meet that Hindus take to reading the Qur'an to find the truth about Islam before they form their worldview thus at the instance of great spiritual beings like Sai Baba. Why does the Muslim and the Christian convert the Hindu to his fold? Just reflect on this and you will clearly see how narrow the worldview of these two Abrahamic faiths is. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Agnimitra Paul : May Swami Vivekananda be your guide! Quiet work, not so much fanfare. Slow and steady wins the race. Daily read Vivekananda, especially his 'Lectures from Colombo to Almora' and meditate on its bearings. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Ruma Barman : কুরান পাঠ করা প্রাথমিক কর্তব্য ইসলাম তথা মুসলমানদের দীনের স্বরূপ সম্বন্ধে অবগত হএয়ার জন্য | কোন কার্যক্রমে প্রবেশ করার আগে সেই বিষয়ে বিষদ জ্ঞানার্জন প্রয়োজন | কল্পনালোকে বিচরণ করে ইসলাম সম্বন্ধে ধারণা করলে ঠকে যেতে হবে | তাই পাঠ চাই, জানা চাই, পরে কাজ |

Sugata Bose @Kunal Kanti Sinha Roy : I am not the one you seem to believe I am. See my profile detail and my profile picture. 

You are right. The post is of a few lines, insufficient to validate my point conclusively. It is even flawed in a deeper philosophical, neurobiological, psychological and sociological sense. This is at best a superficial assertion bearing a lot of apparent truth in it but the reality of human failure in understanding the deeper reality of life is far too profound, far too complex to even explain in whole volumes, what chance there be of fitting the same in such a finite post? 

Vande Mātaram! 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Disciple : Just wholesale dewesternise yourself. Be an Indian through and through which you are not at all.

Sugata Bose @Veer Savarkar : 

Devoted descendants of The God,

Practising The Deen with the rod,

Kicking fruitless la horses unshod,

With mullahs malevolent giving the nod.

Sugata Bose @Shankar Kumar Chatterjee : কাছে পিঠে লুকোতে হবে | নইলে সবার সামনে চোখ টিপে থাকতে হবে যতক্ষণ না দমকল আসে |

Sugata Bose @Snigdhodeb Sinha : Correct prescription for the deadly disease of dangerous demographic change.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [TimesNowKhobor] : Qurbani is originally a Jewish practice passed on to Islam which is the sequel to Judaism. This practice of mass animal slaughter must not be allowed in the land of Mahavira, Buddha and Gandhi who stood for non-violence. Let Muslims evolve to modernity that protects animals from such injustice. It is a violation of animal rights and must not be allowed. Let legislation be passed to that effect and till that is done let this practice be weeded out progressively by effective executive action following existing laws in this regard.

Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : I must then take you along as torch light showing the path.

Sugata Bose @Swapan Kr Jana : Swami Vivekananda has contradicted this theory. He has said that it was the absence of dharma, that is, its right application, that was the reason why we sank as a civilisation, and it will be with the proper application of dharma that India will rise again.

Sugata Bose @Sai Nilayam : This was a puerile observation made by Sai Baba, utterly missing the mark in spirit as proximity in body was averred, although in a lighter vein humorous, not quite in keeping with the spirit of the episode though which merited greater seriousness in addressing. Strange or perhaps characteristic levity as becomes a debilitated race subjugated for 13 centuries by alien powers and their corrosive culture which succeeded in degenerating Sanātan civilisation to its lowest ebb where levity rules and gravity misses the mark. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Agnimitra Paul : Your portrait below Manik Bandopadhyay's is incongruous as it is self-flattering and out of place with your personalities, area of activity, ideological inclination and achievement hardly intersecting. Such homage out to be paid entirely out of heart-felt reverence, sincerity and without a trace of deriving popular capital out of it. Thus is how politicians voted into power by the people who adore them gradually lose their personality, moral strength and public goodwill before they veritably 'become lying masks of men', to quote Swami Vivekananda. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Agnimitra Paul : Show business continues even in ministry. Old habits die hard. Do real work and let it speak louder than photographs. We haven't voted for you to see you pose so often before the camera as even ill-befits a film personality who has turned fake in faking roles for long.

Sugata Bose @Sanranu Bannerjee : That would not have been the fault of the RSS neither does ideological position or truth depend on individual affiliation however great. And who is this lady (Anita Pfaff) who is not even a citizeness of India speaking on Indian affairs and why is she being given prominence thus? The RSS has given India backbone through its clear conception and articulation about our civilisational truths, following the principles derived from Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo in modern times among many other historical greats, medieval and modern.

Sugata Bose @YouTube [BBC News] : Aurangzeb did not believe in Īshvar. He believed in Allah. And the twain are poles apart.

Sugata Bose @X [@jihadwatchRS] : Robert, massive cleaning up of jihadi activity has already started in West Bengal, India, where the BJP on May 5 secured a landslide electoral victory. Your seminal work to awaken people to the danger is bearing effect far off from your shores. Thank you from the ❤️.

Sugata Bose @Ujjal Kumar Ghosh : No, they don't. They are being gradually educated. It is a laborious process with people deluded enough with dopes of secularism to come to an illumined understanding of Islam's fundamentals and the dangers it poses to India's future. The history of thirteen centuries has failed to teach lessons adequate to these people oblivious of both past perversions, present perfidies and prospective possibilities. It is unlikely they will wake up as yet, inebriated as they are with sensuality brimful masquerading as culture, and a self-loathing which is the legacy of a faulty westernised system of education. Here work will have to be done patiently with absolute focus for it to pay long-term dividends. We are nearing a precipice and not too long a period we need to wait to see India's free fall into Islam. Lest such a fate again visits our hapless brethren drunk mad with the liquor of world love, we, the nationalistic Indians, need to buck up and aggressively defend our culture. Else, annihilation awaits us. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : You have stumped me through and through. 

Sugata Bose @The Mother (of Pondicherry) : This false assurance in the name of divinity has destroyed the moral fibre of the nation. Self-reliance is spirituality, not debilitating dependence of self-proclaimed divinity.

Sugata Bose @Mother's Prayer Box (of Pondicherry) : All weakening assurance, comforting words that teach not people how to face reality head on like valorous soldiers of the soul but to seek like helpless children support in a senior that will come to consequence in the larger war of life. This is superstition that weakens man. Rather than offer such support, spiritual personalities ought to teach people self-dependence. "Independence is bliss, dependence misery," said Swami Vivekananda. 🕉 Hindu! 

Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : If Modiji said so, it was from a popular misconception or from a purely political perspective aimed at deflecting discussion from a particular point, may be. He may have meant that Hinduism is a dharma in the Indian sense and not a religion as in the Abrahamic sense. As dharma also connotes a way of life, he may have cleverly used it to his advantage in discussion then. I am not privy to the event. So, this is my educated guess at best. But it is true that many a Hindu often avers that Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life, statements which have compromised Hindus in gaining minority protection in certain western countries where communities are accorded such rights on the basis of religious affiliation. This has been pointed out by Rajiv Malhotra, founder of 'Infinity Foundation'. Such narratives must change and Hinduism must be properly represented in national and international fora on solid scriptural grounds. Swami Vivekananda must be studied by all Hindus and scholar sannyasis must interpret his teachings about Hinduism accurately and without bias or partisanship. Then alone will the clouds of confusion clear and sanity be restored regarding this whole system of Sanātan Dharma and sanskriti. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Subhrajyoti Bhowmick : Mamata has not become X (ex) but Z. Don't ask me Y (why).

Sugata Bose @Niton Nabin : Effeminate rendition of a devotional song not quite in keeping with the exhortation of manliness by Swamiji.

Sugata Bose @Utkarsh Chaubey : Kindly edit the word 'she' in paragraph 4, evidently a typographical error of what was intended to be 'he'. The error has cropped up twice in close succession. The essay was a delightful read. Exquisite English. Thank you. Awaiting more from your pen. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Soham Pain : You are always a delight to read. Such clear thinking in crisp language replete with facts is not commonly come by which is what lends it value especial. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Arunangshu Mandal : The difficulty with your posts is that your account being restricted in some sense, that is, not being open to public, your posts cannot be shared. I had brought this issue up earlier as well.

Sugata Bose @Facebook friends and followers: I exhort all my Facebook friends and followers to actively share this video clip (Swami Shuddhidānanda's) by way of a massive awareness campaign that needs must be done to combat jihad aimed at the destruction of our country and its Sanātan culture and civilisation. Better still if you pin this post to your profile wall after sharing it. 🕉 Hindu!

Sugata Bose @Agnimitra Paul : Because Muslims revere their mother but worship only Allah. They do not worship their mother. That would be the highest heresy, 'shirk' or partnering a deity with Allah, which goes against the fundamental tenet of Dīn e-Islam. The very word 'Allah' means 'The God', 'Al' standing for 'The' and 'Lah' standing for 'God'. Hence, Muslims find their utterance of certain words like 'Vande Mātaram' itself objectionable as the said address means 'Worship Thee Mother'. Theologically speaking, a Muslim would lose imān (faith in the Dīn) if he utters 'Vande Mātaram'. This is their official theological stand. Moreover, Allah is neither male nor female nor neuter but transcendental, according to Islamic understanding. Hence, although in linguistic terms in English Allah is addressed using the masculine gender, to call Him 'Mother' would again be heresy for the Muslim if they are to be expected to look upon the motherland as Allah or a derivative of Him. These things must be understood while giving explanations, Madam Minister. As regards practical considerations, those are executive matters and prerogatives of the state in their bid for national integration which are beyond the purview of this discussion of mine. What I have stated is purely from the Islamic theological standpoint as regards the rationale behind objections raised by certain Muslim clerics in this matter. The Bharatiya Janata Party leaders must make sure that they get their reasoning correct if they are to be convincing in their arguments in this matter. And that can only come from a minimum crash course in Islamic theology. Sorry to say that the leaders are largely ignorant in this matter, yet rush in to proffer flawed arguments to hold their ground when queried in regard to these issues, the ground sinking like quicksand soon to undo matters entirely. 🕉 Hindu!

IN RESPONSE TO A COMMENT:

You have not read well my introductory observation. Please read it well and understand what I have said. I have spoken about the Islamic rationale behind the objection raised by certain Muslim clerics. That must be addressed reasonably with adequate rational affirmations and not entertaining puerile ideas about Islam and pronouncing them. As regards singing 'Vande Mātaram' in madrassas is concerned, I would be persuaded emotionally for it as it would foster nationalistic feeling in the students across the board but in legal terms taking minority rights into due consideration, I am a bit more hesitant about the validity of such a course of action as I feel it infringes upon the Constitutional right afforded to all religious groups to pursue their faith as per their scriptural injunctions so long as they do not contravene with the fundamental provisions enshrined in the Constitution itself. This, I believe, is a legal matter that can best be addressed by the concerned Minority Affairs Ministry, the Law Ministry and the law courts. Unless the Constitution is duly amended, I feel, the current course of action would be in violation of its Article 25, if I am not mistaken. The Government of course can persuade the concerned institutions by clarifying that 'Vande Mātaram' per se does not mean that Muslim children by singing it are worshipping the motherland but are merely singing in her praise. This may not be strictly speaking theologically tenable but could prove persuasive enough given that the average person is not politically motivated so much as he or she is made to be so by motivated politicians and their accomplices donning the religious robe. 🕉 Hindu!
