These remarks were made in response to a post put up by Milligate , in protest against loud noise created fr a temple, when namaj was going on in the near Masjid. Bharatbhai R Pandya These are the BJP and RSS ( mis) culture. They do not know that peace is dear to God and not noise or khuna marki. Our shstras are full of murders, mass killings and stories of the upper strata of society so they do imbibe such culture. ------ When I was in Junagadh , I visited a Christian Church , one of our colleagues was a christian by heart, I noticed complete silence , pin drop silence, and one would feel that he has come into some another world ! In Masjid same would be the case, although I have never visited the masjid during their prayer time, of course, I have when some ones from the street expired and were to be buried in the Kabrastan, But at the same time the noise let out by the lod speakers for inviting the believers, Ajan, to the Masjid is too much unpalatable. All Muslims know the timings of the Namaj, what is the necessity of blaring loud speakers ? When I was living in Saiyedpura , a Masjid was just a furlong away, and a chacha from our street used to climb the minaret and m speak the Ajan. During those times loud speakers were not allowed for this. and there was total communal harmony . It is after the placement of loud speakers on the minarets , that jealosy has come up among the Hindus. It was noticed by me that in distant villages, even if there lived only one Muslim family, they would buyild a make -do Masjid and plant loud speakers ! These gestures have created malice. Why ? Because we Hindus hardly visit temple, those who do are a microscopic minority , so we do not like the Muslims visiting Masjids 5 times a day ! So you observe now, when the communal riots take place, the first aim of the Hindus is the loud speakers ! This was imitated by the Hindus during Navratri festival and where there was no loud speaker during the garbas, they started putting up loud speakers with full noise .So a ban was put on the loud speakers during the Navratri beyond 1000 PM. I bet, you remove the loud speakers from the Masjids and there will be restoration of good will..... In fact we, the Hindus are noise loving people, there would be drums, manjiras and beating of thali during the bhajan , this is entirely unnecessary, where there is a need to give good advices, guidance on honest and faithful living, we Hindus, create shor bakor and there are no sermons on noble living, like those done in the Churches and the Masjids, We go to to temple with blank mind and return with full pollution of noise and discriminations ! ----------- Some days back, while returning from garden in the morning , I elected to visit an old friend who use to sit in varanda of a temple. Arti was going on, and there was full noise, he was also clapping with both the hands, but did not choose to talk to me as he was busy in clapping in the Arti ! So, I returned without exchanging a single word with him ! We call these gestures religious !

Govt arranged Yoga prog. are non sensical and unconstitutional
This Yoga is a non sense. It makes the man idle and in active. The exercise should be such which may vitalise the organs of the body. 2. Yog is Hindu specific and India being a secular State , this is unconstitutional. 3. The prime duty of the Govt. is the Governance and not to indulge in such religious specific activities. BJP Govt.s have forgotten to govern secularly and have started implementing Hindu specific agendas which is objectionable. there are Crores of people in India who are not Hindus , Why this is imposed on their body and mind 4. Today you are imposing Yoga , will you impose Namaj in the Schools and Govt halls with the same spirit ? 5. Will you arrange Sunday meets as done in the Christian Churches ? 6. Will you arrange Budhdhist prayers . 7. Will you also start to make the students and Govt officers to drink urine of the cows, in the same way ? 8 . RSS chief had said a few days back that he had eaten a fistful dung of the cow . Will you also introduce this practice for your Ministers and Govt officers as well students ? And will the Confidential Reports of the Govt Officers spoiled if they do not drink cow urine and cow dung ?You are a hypocritic lot and are out to destroy the integrity of the country. Pl stop this .and take interest in the work of Governance,
Frewnch Revolution coming to India
and most of them deserve to be shot.
The Indian judiciary is largely corrupt and beyond redemption. The bureaucracy and police are largely corrupt. Even the army has been affected by corruption
The Constitution of India, made in 1950, served some purpose for a few decades. Now it has exhausted itself, and become a caricature, the institutions it created and the fundamental rights and democratic system it laid down, have become scarecrows.
Poverty and unemployment are on a massive scale, healthcare and good education hardly exists for the masses, 50% of our children are malnourished, farmers are committing suicide. Women, minorities and dalits are discriminated against.
Everything in India is over, sab khel khatam.
When I was asked what is the alternative I answered : " Some kind of French Revolution is coming "

No photos of my marriage
I saw an album of the photos of a marriage fr frd Rajiv Lal Chaudhari . He and others are lucky to have such treasure of photos. I have none because I did not engage a photographer believing that the bride family might have engaged one. They did not engage either believing that we would be taking a photographer. As such there is no photo of my marriage .Aftere the ceremony was over and we had to depart for Surat , all wept when we left Grant Road , Mumbai from Bombay Central Rly Stn, except my father-in-law. He wept when he saw off my mother-in-law to bring back my wife at the end of 10 days as per our custom . He said to others " I have not informed my wife that the son-in-law and his family are living in a kachcha house . Here I have given every facility to my daughter and there she will have to bear many discomforts. I have not said this to my wife. "..... My father-in-law was a well to do man , and was a millionaire at the time . .... And she changed my and the life of my family

Desi Chula and the wind pipe
iving fresh air and oxygen to the burning wood. Can you see the pipe used by the woman before the furnace ? It is meant to give air to the slow burning wood and to reach oxygen to it , so that it burns more speedily. Some 70 years ago , this type of chula was used by my mother and air pipe was used by her to give fresh air to the slow burning wood. Some times she asked me to do this and I had a goos experience as burning flames charred the skin ! My wife , though coming from a well to do family of Bombay , had to sit before this chula and give air to the wood with this pipe for quite some years. But she was a brave lady and tolerated this torments of the chula.
How Islam fell behind Christianity 1
Some Westerners say that the Muslims have not contributed towards development and Science . They are basically wrong. It was thru Islam that the great Industrial Revolution started from Constantinople. But the islamic Kings gave greater weight to the spread of Islam than concentrating on the new inventions. Here they took Islam forward but the Muslims backwards and the Christians who had earlier taken an orthodox attitude and punished men with new thinking and inventions like
