This is one more of Minakshi Ganguly. This prof is so anti Indian and anti Hinduism that she has become blind in favor of pakistan for anti-India-stance on J&K. Her comment on Gujarat are even more disturbing.

Appeal to CWC: Please inform members on this issue. This is must because she is spreading poison about India and Hindus amongst western media.

You can listen to her interview on this radio link.
http://www.flashpoints.net/cgi-bin/ra.pl?date=20020603&start=36:10

She is not ignorant but purposefully blind to favor Pakis and every anti hindu element. Even if Muslims kill 100 hindus is fine (may be because they are 800 millions) but when one hindu kills one muslims she will start screeming to the world through media forgetting they 100 hindus were killed first.

Same pseudo mentality we have seen everywhere (because of lack of Hindu's awareness about power of media)

Hope more and more people will be aware about this poisonous baseless propaganda.


AND DO SOMETHING TO DEFEAT SUCH PROPAGANDA BY BETTER PR.

Hearing the program, I feel she needs to be condemned, boycotted and told to live in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and convert to Islam. She is horrible....

She is speaking the language of Musharraf.... 'Kashmir will become Palestine......', "In US, Hindus are considered benign, but they are not'. I felt like if I was hearing to a Pakistani, or a person full of hatred to Hindus.

I think she has created her own world of Hindu extremism, which does not exist.

For those who cannot hear her program- read her article.

Thanks Vinayak for providing contact information on this page.

I have sent letter to the radio station and also to KC Pant ob behalf of CWC.

I was wondering, 'CWC' needs active people like you that can spend time on research and analysis of issues so carefully. If you are interested in more active participation on behalf of CWC please feel free to contact me. you will be welcome to help national cause.

Thanks once again for using our message board to educate many visiotrs and members of CWC.

Mahendra Joshi

I sent him an email too and did not receive any reply at all. Was wondering whether you did receive any comments from them?

We did not get reply from KCPant but we did get reply from the radio station producer.

They are totaly aginst India and hateful towards Hindus. Its very clear from what he wrote to us.

Now the links are very clear, therefore they interviewed this pseudo secculer India Professor.

We shall pusblish this reply in our newsletters.

Thanks
mahendra

Do copy that Anti -Hindu reply from the Radio Host to KC Pant, Angana Chatterji as well.

Maybe KC Pant needs to understand Ms. Anganas beliefs.

Thanks for your comments and encouragement.

MOST LIKELY Prof. Angana Chatterji's Home Phone no. is 415-648-0138 and she lives in SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94110 or 94102. (those in San Franscisco can confirm)

Otherwise it is 510-525-6133 and she lives in SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94706 (possibly her old number).

Those interested in calling her directly to change her views can make attempts giving her due honor and respect so that she realizes her mistake of speaking falsehood and bringing disrepute to Hindus and India.

At least we should make her realize, we Indians are not extremists as she thinks and she needs our help to get out of her illusory world. Maybe some elderly persons are able to make impact on her......

Hindi God? I wonder what that is.

It looks Ms. Chatterji is desperate of her fame and dollars. Let us collect one penny each and mail to her as token of her appreciation for a false image. American media, otherwise ignorant of Indian History, wants these kind of interviews to create sensation & increase their ad's revenues. I wonder how Angana can be a member of the planning body while she is unaware of the history of events of Kashmir.

This pseudo-secularist can still be proud of being ian Indian. In Saudi Arabia, they have very simple rules for persons who question the fundamentalist policies -- beheading! So she may feel satisfied to have her ugly head and uglier still brain(if any 0 within it, still sitting on her shoulders. I strongly recommend this psychopathic woman to go to www.faithfreedom.com and the articles posted by Mr. Ali Sina. Mr. Ali Sina is doing a wonderful job. In fact all the persons who read this comment are requested to read Ali Sina's article. As for the grants offered to this nasty woman, these should be withdrawn immediately. I trust all the viewer's shall wrile to planning commission pressing for withdrawal.

Hello Mr..Hindu Hater

I came to know abt u inrerviewing a so-called pseudo-secularist who unfortunately has origin from India. And i also came to know abt ur opinions abt Hinduism.

Let me give u some facts

1. Hindu philosophy has Yoga, Vedic science etc. Yoga in itself a Complete science and it is one of the 8 limbs of Hinduism. Vedas are full of knoeldedge of all sciences. If u get a chance i would like u to read Vedic Mathematics (part of UK schools Sylllabus), Light on Yoga (Author B.K.S Iyenger) and practice whatever is written in these books . You will be amazed at the depth and science of Hinduism.

2. When your ancestors used to roam naked and used to eat raw animals in Jungels, Hindus Rishis had touched the supreme level of Conciousness and had discovered the secrets of life and science some of which are still beyond the comprehension of ur modern scientists.
Some Sanskrit shlokas/prayers/proverbs from Hindu Literatute

Vasudhaiv Kutumkam -- All Universe is a family.
Sarve bhavantu Sukhanah - All be happy.
Sarve Santu Niramaya - All be healty ..free from illness.
Na kashchith Dukk bhak bhaveth - Oh..God..no one should have sorrow.


3. Hindu medicine science , Ayurveda is best of all medical sciences in the world. I recommend if u or any of ur family member or friends has any illness which can not be cured by any Doctor here, find a Hindu Ayurveda expert in India and see the patient getting well very fast. Creatures like u should certainly get such uncurable illness.

4. India has NEVER invaded other country .

5. Kashmir....talk abt it now..i m a Hindu and i am proud of it..Many Hindus have been displaced by ur friends ..Islamic Terrorists and they have become refugee in their own country as they have to leave Kasmir in spite of the fact that their families lived there for thousands of Years. U can not practice any other religion except Islam in places of Kashmir where Terrorists have stronghold and women are not free..they can not go to school, can not go out without veil...ask ur mother, sisters and daughters how they feel abt living in such climate. I am sure YOU will surely like it as u are a insect who like dirt.

U will say anything abt Hindus as u think us as coward civilization but i remind u today's Hindus are very well aware of creatures like u ..you are parasite ..who grow on the blood of others (Hindus)..and do ur business by insulting great civilizations, say any such thing abt Islam and see the consequences.

6 Only greatest religion and civilization on earth ..Hinduism., .the followers of which have been killed, their worship places (temples) destroyed , their great invaluable literature destroyed and eliinated , their History distorted, their treasure looted by invaders (mostly Islamic) and attempts were and are still being made to present it in a bad light..u r also part of this, still forgive everyone and ready to forget mistakes.

But now Hindus have realized that they would not let people like u to take them for granted. U are a mindless creature who is completely biased against a great religion without studying it and without having even a bit of knowledge abt it.

7. Now talk abt the lady ( some Chatterji ..i wonder if she really has any knowledge abt India or Hinduism), i would like to ask her what she knows abt Hinduism and its greatness. She claims that her ancestors have formed the secluar fabric in India..ridicoulus ..totally arrogant. I ask u and her who can teach a civilization abt secularism where people from Different religion (Hindus, Christians, Parsis, Muslims , Sikhs, Buddhists and 1000 of subreligions) are living in peace for thousand of years.

One attack on US on 11th sept triggered anti-Muslim sentiments all over US, but in spite of long History of brutalities againt us Hindus, by Islamic ( continuing for thousands of years, read Indian History.. ..and still continuing in Kashmir) , we forgive them and emprace them as our familt members.

Mr. Hindu Hater ..where will u find such a Great and Tolerant Religion in this Whole Universe..????

Hello

Who am i to forgive u..God is the ultimate authority to do so. Its a PITY that u need more info to understand my point of view. Mr., open ur eyes and mind and see the whole past , present ( a la Kashmir) Hindus is evidence of greatness of Hindus and Hinduism.

Read any book on Hinduism( i am sure u will have a libraray at ur plce) and try to understand it.

I dont need to send u any info..just read the Real Religion on Earth ..Hindu Religion.that will be a first step to understand urself and the Supreme knowledge.

IF U CAN APOLOGIZE ON UR TV SHOW ABOUT THE INTERVIEW WITH ANGANA CHATTERJI and TAKE EVERYTHING BACK, WE HINDUS WILL APPRECUATE IT.


Thanks

She is desparate enough to work for the likes of DB, Dawn and Pakistanis.

At CWC, We have got this feed back from many people so far. Whoever writes to Mr.DB, he is giving similar reply to all of them (one good thing he is replying).

He says please provide me more information to uderstand your point. He also expresses regrets if he has offended you and your belief with all due respect.

Mr.DB has realized his mistake but does not want to acknowledge publically to CWC. Therefore he is doing it to everyone who writes to him personally.

Thanks for your update on this board.
Mahendra Joshi

I have sent the following letter to Angana:-

Dear Angana,
Some friends forwarded me link to your interview to Flashpoints and your article entitled “India/Pakistan Mourning this time” of May 31, ’02. I wish to clarify some of the issues raised by you.
I am a Kashmiri Hindu, quite well versed with the history of Kashmir. Our land was a symbol of communal harmony for centuries even in the midst of the pogrom that characterized the partition of India. We never witnessed any communal problems even in 1953 when Sheikh Abdullah was arrested by the Govt of India and anti-India feelings were witnessed in Kashmir. With Sheikh’s return to power and assuming the Chief Ministership of Kashmir in 1975, Pakistan lost the Kashmir case that it had nurtured for three decades to turn the attention of its disenchanted public away from its internal strife and also deflect India’s priority of economic development. (Read for example; Z A Bhutoo’s “Myth of Independence” where he says that Pakistan’s foreign policy must be based on anti-India stance). General Zia was quick to realize this lapse and started “Operation Topac” his famous proxy war strategy in Kashmir to bleed India. After failing to exploit the Punjabi Sikhs, it turned its attention further north and passed on the same strategy to Kashmir. At the time things were peaking up in Punjab, I remember our liberal Muslim friends in Kashmir praying to God that Kashmir may not see such a misfortune. But persistent General continued and Kashmir saw the worst crimes in history in 1989,1990,1991 when killings, rape, brutalities and ethnic cleansing was the order of the day. I am sure you have been referred to the sites to see for yourself how three hundred thousand Hindus were hounded out of their homes in Kashmir after the worst brutalities, killing and rape of about four hundred of their community members. The country watched it silently and is still doing so since that is the definition of “secularism” for progressives like you in India. The world couldn’t care less.

As for the human rights violations of Kashmiri Muslims, it is true that they are suffering immensely at present. But large part of it is a disinformation campaign, part of the Zia Plan whatever is left of it now. I appreciate all actions of the Indian government and others who raise their voice against such atrocities. And for giving relief to the Kashmiris it is important to root out the basic cause of the problem, which is terrorism, and wiping away the infrastructure laid out by Pakistan in Kashmir to enact the proxy war. That is precisely what India is doing. Military action against militants and political process to help locals solve their problems is the only way to bring permanent relief to this state. Free and fair elections would certainly help Kashmiris choose a state apparatus for themselves. India has left it open for international observers to watch the elections. I would urge you to observe the elections to see for yourself how independent Indian electoral system is.
Any sovereign country has the right to resist a proxy war by its neighbor designed to secede part of its territory on the basis of a religious majority. I am surprised at your accusation that India is forcing a war on Pakistan. India has been waiting meekly for the past two decades for Pakistan and the world to see reason and stop from terrorist and nuclear blackmail. Nobody believed India up to 9/11 that it was a victim of the worst terrorist acts. It is this inaction of the Government of India that forced Gujaratis to take the worst step of reprisals against Muslims in response to the Godhra massacre. By saying that I do not condone their behavior. All forms of killings of innocents are a blot on humanity and need to be condemned. What I am trying to point out is the helplessness of the people in the face of Govt inaction when minorities in Punjab, Kashmir or Godhra were selectively killed and the Government only offered vague assurances. If US can bomb Afghanistan and decimate the Taliban infrastructure to avenge the killing of three thousand of its subjects within a matter of few months, what do you expect India to do for the killing of thirty thousand of its citizens in Kashmir and hundreds in other states?

You have said that US people are not doing enough to counter what you call Hindu fanaticism and ironically have quoted “Coalition Against Communalism” which is out to spread the same message that you are trying to give on Hindu fanaticism. As an Indian I would have expected you to spread the message that fanaticism and terrorism is alien to Hindu philosophy of “Vasudev Kutumbkam” i.e. this whole humanity is one family. Americans have a lot of access to Oriental literature and I am sure they would not be impressed by your misinterpretation of Indian philosophy. American support to India is not only based on geo-political reasons but also on moral considerations as one democratic nation to another. More than the Muslims in India, it is Hindus who raise questions on any injustice to minorities in India like Muslims, Christians and others. It would probably be a surprise to you that about 50 books have been written in India on human rights violations in Kashmir and Hindus author more than 40.

I wish well of you in your profession but would urge you to be a true Indian, a messenger of peace and not a zealot out to incite feelings like saying Kashmir may turn Palestine way. I pray for peace for my motherland and do not like people putting oil on fire.

Regards,

does anybody know who is boss is? Surely he does not own the radio show?

one needs to copy him too an inform him of DBs response.

I am a Bengali born and brought up outside the state of West Bengal (but lived in WB for a number of years). What we see in the so-called Professor is common in many so-called "Intellectual" Bengalis. So we should not be discouraged by their 'character'. It is time these characters realize that they are Indians, as well and also Hindus. They should open their eyes and look at what Muslims do to them in areas like Park Circus, Diamond Harbour, Metiaburuz, etc areas of Calcutta. They have seen how they brazenly support Pakis and that they are totally Anti-Indian.
When India tested Atomic Bomb (which was critical for our own defense) - I saw big big demonstrations against it in Calcutta. But I never saw a single demonstration because thousands and thousands of Muslim Bangladeshis are illegali crossing the Border and settling down in India in places like Midnapore, Assam, etc. Now, many of these Muslims have started working for ISI to destabilize our motherland.
People like Angana Chatterji is a SHAME to our society and nation. They believe in cursing Hindus and Indians because they are desperate to prove that they are 'Higher Mortals' (Ha! Ha!). But end up as a laughing stock in front of everyone.
Like the Muslims do - we should also take out some kind of fatwa to break the legs of 'Traitors' like Angana Chatterji and their like minded India Haters.
Jai Hind....

I read the article. Though I don't agree with it. Such arguements are being made by many people from left so I don't want to be alarmist. Also to say that she should be in Pakistan for writing such an article, is not good at all.
I consider myself a die hard Nationalist. But I also can not support VHP top leadership. Killing innocents and celebrate "Gourav" is really not way a brave hindu will behave.
This of Shivaji, and think what will he say after Modi's behavior who failed to protect his "janata".

If you have any respect or any knowledge about Shivaji I think you will come to the same conclusion. Shivaji had clearly spelled out to one of his guru's that leave administration to me and concentrate on 'Adhyatama'. When I see these bunch of retarded Sadhus dictate how we should govern ourselves then my blood starts boiling down.
Worst effect of these guys is legitimate arguements on common civil code, article 370 have taken back seat.
Anyway I felt strongly about these issues so I took effort to write this down.
So if you want to argue with Chatterji you can. But please stop talking about throwing her out of the country, religion. You will not have my vote for that.

Sir,

While I agree with the comments about being "alarmists", I have a few questions.

>This of Shivaji, and think what will he say after Modi's behavior who failed to protect his "janata".

Does this "janata" include Hindus? Specifically the unfortunate 58 who happened to be travelling on the day when godhra terrorists decided to take "direct action"?

>If you have any respect or any knowledge about Shivaji I think you will come to the same conclusion. Shivaji had clearly spelled out to one of his guru's that leave administration to me and concentrate on 'Adhyatama'.

Disagree. Shivaji himself had offered this guru you mention (Samarth Ramdas) his kingdom. It was Ramdas, who declined and preferred to concentrate on his 'Adhyatma' in his cave in konkan.

As far as VHP is concerned, please take a look at their agenda on vhp.org.
Did you know they have programs that - among other noble deeds - support orphan children?

Looks like these days it's fashionable to criticise Hindus/Hindu organizations even among "educated" Indians.

----------

The first one was put in absolute reverse manner. And is wrong in totality.

With my knowledge of Shivaji, the second argument is consistend and true.

Any update from K.C. Pant ???

We did not receive any response from KCPant.

But there is some development on Time/Kashmir issue. Indian govt may be taking this with Time magazine. (I hope)

CWC took this issue few months back and 800+ of CWC members had sent protest mails to Time magazine on this.
http://indiacause.com/TimeJKCountry.htm

hope the Indian Govt seriously takes this matter further.

Thanks
Mahendra

Do we have people in India who can meet K.C.Pant personally and raise this issue?

KCP only encashed his father's name all his life. His accomplishments or contribution to his constituency or people is BIG ZERO. I think this guy sleeps 24 hours. We need active politicians to steer our country not `sleep walking men' like him in high positions. Please raise the matter to Yashwant Sinha, L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj and George Fernandes asking them to wake up Mr. Pant:-) (Apologies for my harsh comments). We lose because of such people and Mr. Nambiar (our rep. in UN).

L K Advani lkadvani@nic.in

Yashwant Sinha ysinha@sansad.nic.in

Sushma Swaraj swaraj@sansad.nic.in

George Fernandes george@sansad.nic.in

I have some understanding of subtler truth in this matter. I have noticed that in Bengal mostly Brahmins speak against Hinduism these days. Any who so ever on Earth is bashing Hinduism, he or she is definitely against God and spirituality. It is well known fact that the Brahmins in Bengal were very oppressive for a very long period of time. Using the holy religion, they oppressed the poor and other caste of the society. Naturally those souls have lost faith in eternal religion. And in present birth they are born as anti God and have come under the umbrella of Communism. By the bad karma of Brahmins, there are out of spiritual track.
Surprisingly mostly Brahmins cry against Hinduism in Bengal today where other castes are inclining more and more to discover the spiritual truth of Hinduism.

But I want to mention also that as all Brahmins in Bengal were not oppressive in the past, similarly all Brahmins are not today against Hinduism.

I have noticed that many Bengali people are strongly Marxists. Some have attended Jawaharlal University where, because of their anti-Hindu views, they were promoted to a status of "scholars" by publishing their anti-India papers. These are the scholars who invent the history about Budhhists having been massacred by Hindus, Hindu temples being built on Budhhist Vihars, Greatness of Aurangjeb as a just king, Aurangjeb having been attacked by Hindu Kings and having been incited to become angry towards Hindus, Hindus deserved Great Auranjeb's punishment and many more.

Unfortunately, such are the scholars who get Indian Government funded projects of recording the history of India. Prof. Panikar and his Marxists colligues have successfully published official Indian History. At one incidence Panikar successfully defended his position when there were very few documents about Gandhiji, however he had put hundreds of Marxists and communists documents in one volume. In USA, he even defended Marxist ideaology while answering questions about the History of India. If anybody is interested I have a Email from an American Woman fighting and questioning Mr. Panikar on bias history being recorded and declares that it is difficult to defend the truth about India, because there is no support for her cause in USA.

Ms. Thapar is another Marxist, I had written to CWC about. I know she gets open invitations to speak in US academia, supported by NRI funding, to spread derogatory lies about India.

My point of view:
1. All these Marxists are on payroll of government of India since the time of Indira Gandhi. New government has continued the funding blindly without any review.
2. Many writers on CWC forum suggest that Angana should be educated about the truth. Marxists already know the truth. They are permanently molded into anti-Hindu thinking, and they will even worship devil if they have to, in order to defame Hindu culture. Do not waste efforts or mind to educate Marxists.
3. Many Marxists in US universities must have been either US citizen or have permanent residency status. US immigration law requires all immigrants to declare that they have never associated with communist organization and never were sympathetic to communist philosophy anywhere in the world. I am sure many of these communists have lied on immigration papers. They may have violated the US law. This is the time to expose them. You cannot educate them.

you are posting the home phone numbers of an author with whom you disagree in order to target and harass her and have the feeble-mindedness to suggest this will prove indians are not extremeists? it will solidify all thoughts to the contrary, which you yourself have supported. i see little evidence on this website that the hindus/indians you represent are at all tolerant, democratic or interested in political debate or critical inquiry. i see a forum organized to foment and promote hate, hate crimes and communal violence, not to mention very specific calls for violence for those targeted by this forum as anti-indian. shame on you for speaking hate in the name of peace, for instilling fear in the name of family.
