The violence in Orissa followed the brutal murder of a revered Hindu pontiff Swami Lakshmananda Saraswathi who happened to be the state vice president of the Viswa Hindu Parishat. He was murdered along with four other inmates of his Ashram including a woman devotee. The happenings in Mangalore Karnataka were again true to form: a neo-convert pastor in Andhra Pradesh wanted to be lauded for being more loyal than the King. His pamphlet, the product of a prostituted, putrefied and suppurating mind portrayed Hindu gods and goddesses in the most obnoxious manner possible accusing them of incest, debauchery and worse.

This article raises certain pertinent questions about the observations of Indian courts which have been generally liberal in preserving individual freedoms vis- Indian or Chinese? ================================================================================ U. Narayana Das on 22/06/2008 21:30:00 “Indian or Chinese?” Sounds like the polite query of a maitre d' as he conducts you to your seat in an expensive multi-cuisine restaurant?
