In his address to the assembly, Shri Dilip Mehta outlined the current political situation in the country, and highlighted the fact that Hindus do not have a political voice in India. When Dr. Manmohan Singh had proclaimed that Minorities in India had the first claim on country's resources, there was no opposition to his views in the Parliament. The principal opposition party had become hostage to the compulsions of coalition politics, leaving the Hindu majority without a political voice. Hence, all Hindu political activists must work hard to send a minimum of a dozen MPs to Lok Sabha under an explicit Hindu banner. This banner could be that of Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha. There are two years left to the next Lok Sabha, and all Hindu political forces must coalesce to open the Hindu political account in the country's parliament, so that whenever the next secularist Prime Minister goes out of his or her way to appease the minorities, at least a viable political Hindu protest could be registered in the Lok Sabha.

Further elaborating the political future of the Hindus in India, Shri Mehta said that the demographic situation in West Bengal, Assam and rest of Eastern India is getting worse by the day, and anti-national forces may cause another partition in the next 10 to 20 years. He added that doing social work alone is not enough, as political power is necessary for basic protection. Hence, all Hindu political forces need to unite towards a single purpose of attaining Hindu political power.

Shri Mehta visited and consoled several Hindu girls who were rescued by Hindu activists from the homes of Muslim goondas, where they were being kept against their will and raped daily by their abductors. Shri Mehta expressed shock at the insensitivity and helplessness of the local police in maintaining basic law and order, and compared the situation to Noakhali in 1947.

Unrequited love is a condition that afflicts most people, at least once in their lives. Having suffered from it myself, I decided to do some research into it, and my findings are given below for you to enjoy.

Unrequited love is a condition when you love someone but he or she does not love you back. Knowing that it is a common occurrence in relationships and friendships alike should help in the healing process but often it doesn't.

I visited India, the country of my birth and the land of my dreams for the second time this year, during September and October of 2011. In this report, I present my impressions of India. Even though India has made rapid progress during the past decade, it has not reached its full potential and is lagging far behind China, a country with similar characteristics e.g. large population and recent history of backwardness. The reason behind India lagging behind China lies in its rampant corruption and religious superstition.

November 11th, 2011 (Houston, TX) - Mr. Pradip Parekh, Convener and Spokesperson of the Global Affairs Committee of the Hindu Mahasabha of America, on behalf of the organization, strongly condemned the killing of four Hindu doctors in Pakistan, and congratulated the State Dept for prodding the Govt of Pakistan to conduct the invesitgation and prosecution of the culprits involved in the killings. The Hindu community in Pakistan,  constituting well over 30 pct at the time of independence in the region in 1947, is now reduced to barely one percent. The Hindus  constantly have to look over their shoulders lest they incur the wrath of the local Islamists for any perceived wrongs. The girls are often kidnapped, never to be seen again by their families.

Occasionally, from the womb of Time, cometh a “renaissance” man, a man like Steve Jobs, who gives us new eyes to look at old issues, and sets the world alight with a simple mantra, “Stay hungry, stay foolish.” Paving the way to digital bliss, the wizard from Cupertino, is a man of many parts.  Embodying the conquering vigor of pioneering America, and the innovative ecology of Silicon Valley, he followed his heart to create a technological Universe that shone with his products and spun on its own orbit. And on the way, he ignited the world of soulless techies to listen to the beat of their own drummer and dared them to follow their own intuition and vision.  Melding 20^th century technology with the beauty of art and poetry, he repeatedly invented sleek new products – iPad, iPhones, iTunes, Power G-4 and many more that fascinated the world with its elegance and design.  And he accomplished magic with a burning vision and an extraordinary intensity to bring giant resources into the hands of ordinary people. The world was never the same.

Diwali is the most important festival in Hindu tradition.  Diwali means festival of light. Also can be said as triumph of knowledge over ignorance. Light over darkness. There are few stories about the begining of this celebration. One story is about Shri Krishna.  When Shri Krishna defeated demon Narkasur he freed 16000 princesses kept by Narkasur. These princesses asked Krishna who will marry them because they stayed with Narkasur. Shri Krishna said he would. This way he lifted those unfortunate princesses.

It could be a scenario straight out of any decaying empire where the rulers have long stopped to think, feel or act.  An old man runs this empire of the corrupt along with his much-loathed foreign sphinx.   While the old man manipulates a rickety old congress that belches smoke yet calls it oxygen, the grand dame somberly presides over the tricks of a virulent empire that divides and robs with deadly precision.  Rising from the anger of this injustice are a billion people whose hurt and rage have snowballed into a tempest of protests led by a simple man with an epic faith, Anna Hazare (Annaji).

Hindu Mahasabha of America (Hindu Congress of America) observed Hindu Memorial Day on August 13th, 2011 at the India House, in Houston Texas. This event memorializes the millions of Hindu lives lost in various partitions of India, and during other pogroms of Hindus. The day long event was opened by Rudranath Talukdar who gave an overview of why the event was being observed and memorialized and the need for increased Hindu activism. The event was very well attended and almost doubled the attendance from last year with a standing room only crowd. Tapan Ghosh, a frontline Hindu activist from India spoke eloquently about the demographic changes occurring throughout a corridor between the Eastern and Western ends of India. He spoke of the native Hindu population being slowly displaced from the areas bordering Bangladesh by illegal Islamic migrants from that country. He stated that the portends for the future were dire indeed unless this vast demographic change was not countered. He said that Islamic militancy has been rapidly rising in these area and that this posed an additional area of alarm, not only for India but worldwide.

July 14th, 2011 (Houston, TX) Mr. Pradip Parekh, Spokesperson and Convener of the Global Affairs Committee of the Hindu Mahasabha of America (aka Hindu Congress of America), on behalf of the organization, expressed his categorical rejection of  the "Communal Violence Bill" as proposed by the Government of India of the ruling Congress party for a vote of approval by the Indian parliament. Expressing his agreement with the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jailalita, who characterized this bill as "fascist", Mr. Parekh said that This bill is mischievously conceived in order to vest extraordinary dictatorial authority in the hands of central government at the expense of the state governments.  The aims of GOI are transparent in that it seeks to unfairly topple the legitimate, duly elected state governments at will, specially the ones it does not or may not like, on the slightest pretext or even cooked up pretext of communal violence.

Welcome to a familiar story of India.  The enemy hits us and we do everything but give it a fitting reply.  For example, the satanic spooks of the Pakistani ISI armed with a hideous agenda and a killing machine regularly unleash terror and blood on the tranquil snows of Kashmir or the soft heartland of India.  In response to this macabre, decades-long assault on the Indian nation, our clueless government retorts mildly with dossiers of peace and compromise.  The Pakistanis greet us with accents that drip with loathing and contempt, but we always greet them with a brotherly eagerness yearning to be loved.
