Tehelka sting

Seems like everyone joined the "kill Muslims" party in Gujarat, the police, netas, aam admi, everyone with an ax to grind. Killing women, the aged and children, and violating women are not condoned by any religion or way of life, Hinduism including. That, to me, seemed really despicable and downright cowardly. If the Hindu way of life, so sublime in its beauty and compassion and well-regarded for its deeply thought out philosophy of life and the after-life, is left to these marauding hordes, then i shudder at its prospects. A belief system that has withstood wars, invasions, crusades and savagery at the hands of countless "others" should not be appropriated by brutal usurpers who have little clue about its great ethos. It is the duty of every proud Hindu, yours truly including, to wrest Hindutva (which means the Hindu essence) from scavengers intent only on using religion to futher their short-term political ambitions.
