Anti Hindu media
It is clear that Hindus are being targeted by Anti-Hindu media. Nothing explains the inclusion of third rated painter like hussain's name for Bharat Ratna award poll by NDTV. It rightly deserved to be attacked by Hindus. Of course so called minorities have come out strongly saying right of expression is curtailed by fundamentalists. NDTV should have added Salman Rushdie to the list to see how saviors of freedom of expression curtail the freedom of expression.
NDTV got what it deserved

The strange case of Lieutenant General HS Panag
There was recent news that Lieutenant General HS Panag is going to be transferred out of northern command. The reason that is speculated in the media is that his probe into army scam is putting lot of people under pressure. But it is interesting to note that Lieutenant General HS Panag was against troop reduction in Kashmir. I still remember his interview to the media saying we shouldn't reduce troops in Kashmir just because of some anti-national politicians request.
Northern army commander may be shifted
No troop reduction in kashmir
Northern army commander may be shifted
No troop reduction in kashmir

Dalits beware
Today the christian organization have projected themselves as the protectors of Dalit rights. But the dalits need to understand who really these christian organizations are. And the history of chritians and their organizations would help them to make them understand the real motive of these organizations.
- How can the people who supported slave trade can uplift dalits of today?
- How can the people who killed countless Indians during british rule of India protect poor Hindus now?
- How can the people who killed Hindus in Goa protect Hindus today?
- How can the people who support terrorists in North East India protect India?
- How can the culture so alien and abuses the Indian culture can save India or Indians?
- How can the people who killed women in the name of witches can protect Indian women?
- How can we let Indian follow the people who cheat people blatantly saying they can cure anyone by praying?
- How can the people who have caste based churches will work for dalit up liftment?
These christian organizations are here to split India just like they did before. Earlier they came in the guise of East India Company. Today it is churches. If we don't act against them then we would become slaves again in our own country.

Another "peaceful" religion shows its true color
A religion that vouches for peace and love showed its true color recently in Orissa. They attacked a VHP activist for working on anti-conversion. Of course the attack didn't get any media attention at all. When the Hindus retaliated against the attack it has caught the attention of media. And all the media reported it as attack on christians completely ignoring the christians deed.
Clashes between Hindus-Christians
BHUBANESHWAR: Clashes between Hindus and Christians continued in the Phulbani tribal district of Orissa on the third consecutive day on Wednesday with a church being attacked and a youth killed despite an indefinite curfew in four sensitive areas, including the district headquarters.
The attack on the church was in retaliation to an assault on Swami Laxmananda Saraswati of the Viswa Hindu Parishad (VHP) near Daringbadi.
Police said hundreds of tribals attacked the church at Sarsalanda village under Sadar police station, about 20 km from Phulbani town.
Raphel Cheenath, archbishop of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar, claimed Hindu fundamentalists had already torched over 40 churches, forcing Christians to flee to the jungles.
Christian bodies have now approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) for protection. Sources say they have even submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister. “One lakh Christians are living in fear,” said Raphel.
“Churches in Baliguda, Pobingia, Baminigam, Bodagaon, Kamapada, Mandipanka, Jhinjiriguda, Uipadaro, Gobarkuttak and Kulpakia have been attacked. Some of them torched,” he claimed.
Miscreants also torched the vehicle of state steel and mines minister Padamanabha Behera, who belongs to area.
Chief minister Naveen Patnaik took stock of the situation at the state secretariat on Wednesday and deputed two senior IAS officers for spot assessment of the situation. He also appealed to the people to maintain peace.
The Orissa government has deployed 27 police platoons and three companies of CRPF in Phulbani. The police are, however, finding it difficult to enter the troubled areas as VHP supporters have blocked roads with logs.
“The roads are still blocked and police are trying to reach Sarsalanda. The state government has sent paramilitary forces and an additional police force to the region to control the situation. They are on their way,” district police chief Narasimha Bhol said.
The violence erupted when on December 9 Swami Laxmananda learnt that Christian organisations were allegedly planning to convert a few tribals on Christmas day. He held talks with the Ambedkar Banika Sangha (Ambedkar Businessmen Organisation) and pleaded that the plan be dropped. On Christmas eve, however, the Swami understood that the proposed conversion was still on. He started for the site but was attacked on way. Though the Swami escaped unhurt, his body guard was grievously injured. In protest, the VHP called for a four-hour Orissa bandh on Tuesday.
The bandh coincided with another 36-hour bandh called by Kui Samaj Sammanwaya Samiti, a tribal outfit, to demand scheduled tribe status for Dalit Christians. Locals are opposed to this demand and the clash of interest sparked violence. One person was killed and several injured in immediate violence.
Meanwhile, the blame game has begun with Hindu Jagaran Samukhya, a frontal organisation of the RSS, blaming Congress Rajya Sabha member and World Vision chief Radhakanta Nayak for the violence and demanding immediate action against him. The outfit alleged on Wednesday that Nayak is the main conspirator of the attack on Swami Laxmananda Saraswati.

National Liberation Front of Tripura - a christian terrorist organization
Even though it is clear that christian organizations in North East India are supporting terrorist organizations we have failed to check the growth of christian organizations in South India. I wonder how long our politicians would remain mute to the christian aggression in our mother land.
Church backing Tripura Rebels
The government in India's north-eastern state of Tripura says it has evidence that the state's Baptist Church is involved in backing separatist rebels.
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar said state police had uncovered details of the alleged link after questioning a church leader.
Nagmanlal Halam, secretary of the Noapara Baptist Church in Tripura, was arrested late on Monday with a large quantity of explosives.
Mr Sarkar said that allegations about the close links between the state's Baptist Church and the rebel National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have long been made by political parties and police.
Now for the first time, he said, hard evidence supporting the allegations had been found.
Explosives
Mr Sarkar told the BBC that Mr Halam was found in possession of more than 50 gelatine sticks, 5kg of potassium and 2kg of sulphur and other ingredients for making explosives.
Chief Minister Sarkar says he has proof
He said that two other junior members of the same church, arrested last week, had tipped the police off about the explosives which were meant for the NLFT rebels.
The chief minister said that Mr Halam confessed to buying and supplying explosives to the NLFT for the past two years.
Another church official, Jatna Koloi, was arrested in south Tripura last week.
Police say Mr Koloi had received training in guerrilla warfare at an NLFT base last year.
Conversion
Guards have been placed outside the headquarters of the Baptist Church in Tripura's capital, Agartala, to prevent possible attacks on it once the news of Mr Halam's arrest spread.
The NLFT is accused of forcing Tripura's indigenous tribes to become Christians and give up Hindu forms of worship in areas under their control.
Last year, they issued a ban on the Hindu festivals of Durga Puja and Saraswati Puja.
The NLFT manifesto says that they want to expand what they describe as the kingdom of God and Christ in Tripura.
The Baptist Church in Tripura was set up by missionaries from New Zealand 60 years ago.
It won only a few thousand converts until 1980 when in the aftermath, of the state's worst ethnic riot, the number of conversions grew.

NLFT in SATP
Formation
The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was formed on March 12, 1989, with Dhananjoy Reang (former Vice-President of the Tripura National Volunteers) as its ‘chairman’. Reang after being ‘expelled’ from the NLFT in 1993 formed a separate outfit, the Tripura Resurrection Army (TRA), but surrendered in the year 1997. After Reang’s removal, Nayanbasi Jamatiya became leader of the outfit and later Biswamohan Debbarma took over. However, another split occurred in September 2000 following differences between the Halam and Debbarma tribal members of the NLFT. Thus, the Borok National Council of Tripura (BNCT) was formed by Jogendra alias Joshua Debbarma. Personal ambitions of the leaders and parochial religious considerations are believed to have caused yet another split in 2001 when Nayanbasi Jamatiya and Biswamohan Debbarma parted ways from the parent outfit to have factions of the NLFT under their respective leaderships. Further, the fourth split is said to have occurred in June 2003 when Biswamohan Debbarma was deposed allegedly at the behest of NLFT’s patrons inside Bangladesh and Mantu Koloi was placed as the leader of that faction. Debbarma is reported to have subsequently set up separate camps on the Tripura-Bangladesh border with his followers.
The NLFT was outlawed in April 1997 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, following its involvement in terrorist and subversive activities. It is also proscribed under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA), 2002.
Split
The NLFT split into two groups, one headed by Biswamohan Debbarma and the other by Nayanbasi Jamatiya, in February 2001. Following the expulsion of Nayanbasi Jamatiya and Joshua Debbarma from the NLFT, nearly 125 cadres of the group formed a parallel outfit under the leadership of Nayanbasi Jamatiya. Police records based on interrogation reports of surrendered/arrested cadres reveal that the split occurred as a result of:
1. Reluctance of the Central Executive Committee of NLFT led by Biswamohan Debbarma to nominate Joshua Debbarma as the King of ‘Tripura Kingdom’;
2. Misappropriation of funds by senior leaders;
3. Lavish lifestyles led by the senior leadership; and
4. Forcible conversion of tribal cadres/civilians to Christianity.
Leadership
Nayanbasi Jamatiya and Biswamohan Debbarma have been heading two factions since year 2001. In June 2003, ‘General Secretary’ Mantu Koloi was reportedly made leader of the faction Biswamohan had been heading. Earlier, internal bickering within the NLFT had led to a spate of violent internecine clashes in Tripura and at the outfit's camps in Bangladesh. Senior leaders such as Utpanna Tripura and Mukul Debbarma are believed to have been killed in such violence. However, other leaders of the undivided NLFT included ‘Vice President’ Kamini Debbarma, ‘Publicity Secretary’ Binoy Debbarma, ‘Chief of Army’ Dhanu Koloi, and ‘Finance Secretary’ Bishnu Prasad Jamatiya. While the Debbarma faction reportedly has an estimated strength of 550 cadres, the Nayanbasi faction comprises approximately 250 cadres.
According to the State police sources, community-wise break-up in the NLFT is as follows. Debbarma- 40 per cent, Jamatiya- 30 percent, Reang- 10 per cent, and others- 20 per cent. About 90 per cent of the top ranking NLFT cadres are Christians.
Objectives
The purported objective of the NLFT is to establish an ‘independent’ Tripura through an armed struggle following the liberation from ‘Indian neo- colonialism and imperialism’ and furtherance of a ‘distinct and independent identity’.
Headquarters and Linkages
The headquarters of NLFT is located at Sajak, a camp in the Khagrachari district of Bangladesh. Approximately 65-armed NLFT cadres are permanently stationed in seven huts at the headquarters. Another NLFT camp is in the Mayani Reserve area, also in the Khagrachari district. There are three huts here where 10-12 NLFT terrorists are present. Boalchari, the ‘general family headquarters camp’ of the NLFT is located in Khagrachari near the Sajak camp. Family members of top NLFT leaders reportedly stay at this camp.
Besides the camps mentioned above, the NLFT also has camps in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Sylhet, Maulavi Bazar, Habiganj and Comilla areas of Bangladesh. According to official sources, the outfit has approximately 21 camps in these areas. Alikadam, a ‘major’ training camp for the NLFT, is located in the Bandarban district. This camp is also used to procure and store arms from the Cox’s Bazaar port in southeastern Bangladesh.
Usmanpur is yet another camp used for transit. This camp is located in the Habibganj district under Chunarughat police station limits. The outfit reportedly carries out strikes from this camp in the Khowai East and Khowai West regions of West Tripura district.
Details of other camps used by NLFT for subversive activity against India are as following:
Tailongbasti Transit Camp: Located in the Moulabibazar district, this camp is two km northwest of the Indo-Bangladesh border in Kamalpur, in an area dominated by the Debbarma clan. The camp is allegedly used for strikes in the Kamalpur and Kailasahar sub-divisions of Tripura.
Niralapunji: Located two kilometers southeast of the Indo-Bangladesh border at Kamalpur in the Moulabibazar district, the outfit uses this camp for attacks in the Srimangal town.
Kurma / Khasiapunji: The Nayanbanshi Jamatia faction of NLFT uses this camp that is located four-km north of the Indo-Bangladesh border in Kamalpur.
Cox’s Bazaar: A rented transit house has been set up by NLFT in the Sripur area for procurement of arms from this port town.
‘Safe House’ in Chittagong: Earlier there was a NLFT ‘safe house’ in Chittagong Road No. 8, in a three-storied building bearing a signboard of the Bangladesh Urban Development Centre. The safe house then shifted to Chittagong Road No. 1 in a Government housing centre in Halisahar. The Biswamohan Debbarma faction was using this safe house that has modern communication systems including mobile telephones, computers and satellite televisions. Latest status of the ‘house’ following the reported removal of Biswamohan Debbarma is not yet known.
Mog Bazar, Dhaka: This ‘safe house’ in a three-storied building was rented after the NLFT vacated their New Eskaton Road house in Dhaka. This is another major communication centre of the NLFT. According to the Bangladesh Rural Phone Authority, they had recently sanctioned a mobile phone with ISD (international phone call) facility at this address.
NLFT has further links with the Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency and its counterpart in Bangladesh, the Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI). During 1997-98, NLFT leaders are reported to have visited Pakistan to receive training and arms from the ISI. The ISI had allegedly arranged the passport and visas for the NLFT leaders.
NLFT has also developed trans-border linkages in Myanmar and Bhutan. Besides these, according to Tripura police, the NLFT has also linkages with the Nagaland-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), the Manipur-based Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL) and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), which is active in Assam. NLFT's nexus with the Meghalaya based Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) was revealed with the December 17, 2007 neutralisation of a joint HNLC-NLFT camp in the Narpuh reserve forest in the Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya.
