Poor Tarun Vijay
I just came across this article on Rediff
Delhi fiddles while the northeast burns
I really pity the man who wrote that piece. For he doesnt ‘get’ India. India is not a geographical entity. India is an idea. Since time immemorial, Hindustan / Bharat / India has stood for some really simple values. Tolerance, love, brotherhood and peace. Those who came to conquer India have become part of it.
I do believe that the Ramayana is based on true incidents. I may be ignorant, but the relationship between the monkey Hanuman (representing a less evolved ancestor of Homo Sapien perhaps?) and Rama (representing the evolved Homo Sapien who is the future of civilization) carries a deeper meaning for me, than is evident initially.
Aryans came, Chinese came, Greeks came, Alexander came, Turks came, Mughals came, Parsis came, Westerners came. India is still standing.
The Roman civilization can only be studied in history textbooks. The British who conquered us are now American lackeys. Alexanders empire is now a thousand pieces. India is still here.
Poor Tarun, misguided by his RSS ‘leaders’, he thinks some 75000 Bangladeshis coming to India is going to change India in some big way.
Wake up dickhead, your ideas are from a different century. The Nation State is dead
well said. I personally believe India is more than a name, its our future. People will always question things, even more are those who live there itself. They are the most vocal, but they dont matter. What matters is that after all of us are gone, the country and world still stands.

I think you have missed the point. I am an Assamese Muslim and living in Jorhat . i can understand the grave dangers Bangla Deshi infiltrators pose, tthough we belong to same religion the culture and everything else is very different. Its not just 75 thousand in Nagaland, more than 42 constituencies in Assam have become Bangladeshi dominated. You Delhi-Mumbai-Kolkata wallahs have no idea of India, just sing sogs and do business. Its difficult for you metrolpoitan high brows to undestand India is being shrunk . Have you ever lost a piece of land or your daughter by force ? If that have begun happening to Assamese its natural for them to get agitated. India is an idea, true, but India is also a geographic identity and have people of distinct culture. Why should you make joke of concerns re foreign invasion through infiltration? I am a Muslim yet understand why this infiltration is a big challenge to our existence, but sadly you guys live in your own make believe world.

I would not say “poor” for Mr Vijay. He is a single-handed spewer of hate and dislike and nasty communal unindian feelings. He is the one person who makes me ashamed of being an Indian

If you put salt in milk the milk breaks while if you put sugar in milk the milk becomes sweet. So it depends on whom you allow to come and stay in your nation. If USA allows Hindus to come and stay in USA you get the progress of Microsoft if you allow muslim Arabs to come and stay in USA you get september 11.

Response for Vivek Shetty.
What in god’s name are you talking about. Stop being such a stereotype.
Microsoft is not because of hindus or muslims. But due to hard working people from all over the place.
I work at microsoft and I don’t see hndus or muslims. We also have arabs, russians and pakistanis who work equally hard to make microsft the best.
Stop the hatred.
