The Hindu

 Everybody reads, "The Hindu."

"The Hindu," refers to one of the Indian Newspaper. "The Hindu," doesn't refer to the religion.

Perhaps, RSS Chief, Mohan Bhagwat may have a valid reason to suggest "Hindu" instead of Indian.

communal politics

The Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday accused each other in the Lok Sabha of indulging in "communal politics" even as other Parliamentarians wanted to know from the Government whether it subscribed to the Sangh Parivar’s view that all citizens of India are Hindus. 

 In response, the BJP fielded Yogi Adityanath who said the Hindu faith had opened its arms to all faiths but was under threat in its own land. ``There is a conspiracy against Hinduism,’’ he said; adding that tears were shed by the Congress and those who call themselves secular over the attacks on minorities but not when Kashmiri Pandits were forced to leave their native place.

While Communist Party of India (Marxist) member Mohd. Salim said an attempt was being made to impose majoritarian opinion on the country, Nationalist Congress Party leader Tariq Anwar said given the apprehension that minorities have about the BJP, it was important that the Government set them at rest by dealing with all people with an even hand.

Asaduddin Owaisi (AIMIM) wanted to know if the Government would keep as much of an eye on Hindu fundamentalist organisations as it did on Muslim organisations with extremist ideologies. He also wanted to know whether the Government thought all citizens of India are Hindus. 

"If so, then change the Constitution," he said while PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti sought to remind Yogi Adityanath that both Hindus and Muslims were killed in the violence in Kashmir. 

In fact, Indians refer to Native Americans.

A decade ago, in American school, they used to say, "Indians." Then they looked at us and realized the confusion. Now, they stop saying "Indians" and start saying "Native Americans."

Christopher Columbus discovered America; but he thought that that was India. He called the Native Americans as Indians.

We could take advantage of that confusion.

We could go to an international court and present Christopher Columbus statement as an authority and could claim that the whole America is our land. Native Americans are our ancestors.

Once we win that case in the international court, then we could start collecting tax from Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
