I TOTALLY DIS AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT MADE BY Hon'bl Nariman ji.
The message is where ever the minorities are in majority they are free to act do the things the way they want , like in Sharanpur. How do you rate this? Who was in majority ? It was very unfortunate that at the time of vote of thanks was read a wrong message was being delivered..
More over what minority are we talking about ? All the members on the stage were from one community . This is a wrong message being given to the other minoroties and they are trying to dominate Or dictate but ofcourse the vote bank.
I was personally there at the time of the lecture and strongly protest the views of the members on the stage.

DK Sharma • 9 years ago

UPA Govt gave away huge grants to Madarsa but never thought of making hoisting of National flag and singing of national anthem mandatory.Protection of Minorities is blatant appeasement for votes. Why Mr Nariman is speaking like a 'secular' politician.Is he planning to contest an election.

Happy • 9 years ago

Nariaman trying to be head of Secular department in India. His religion was saved by Hindus who he is forgetting. Nariman should go to Pakistan and preach this Bakwas against Islam and see how he can survive there. He should learn Islam history first before giving advise to Hindus.

sathya` • 9 years ago

Hindus become fanatics because of the exploitation of the word secularism by the cunning and selfish politicians of this country. Let them first define what is secularism. And as far as Islam is concerned, it destroys the other religions by first rooting out a population's culture and then the feeling of nationality. Then forcible conversion or annihilation. Shri. Nariman's community stands a victim of Islam. Even the language was destroyed.

Prithviraj Chatterjee • 9 years ago

I absolutely disagree Mr. Nariman.If you call realities as lampooning it is your privilege. It is because Hinduism is benign throughout the ages it accommodate various sects and communities including the Parsis. It would be an insult to your intellect if I say the root cause of the problem is divergent and diametrically opposite culture. That is why nearly a million people lost their lives during the partition.This problem has been approached in an ostrich like manner since then and much pontification by all &sundry. Maybe a Nelson Mandela like person could have helped in giving an healing touch.
If the Hindu's were so bad then the Kashmir flood relief operation headed by a BJP Govt. unhesitatingly went all hog to rescue people.
Also since 1947 the overall record of treatment of minorities in India is extremely fair and even handed.
Please ponder over what I have said.

Buddham Sharnam • 9 years ago

Hinduism the most tolerant? caste system and killing of Dalits for thousands of years is tolerance? Eradication of Buddhism from India is tolerance ? Buddhism was the most tolerate religion ever to exist in India along with Jainisn, VERY DISTINCT AND SEPARATE religions from Hinduism, as the founders of Buddhism and Jainism both spoke out against hinduism of the Brahmins. Jainism pre-dates Hinduism by thousands of years. Jainism existed even before the first Vedas were written. Jainism is the true indigenous dharmic religion of India. Not Hinduism, even the word "Hindu" was given by outsiders/Middle easterners.

Prashant • 9 years ago

You are right. The concept of "Hindu" and "Hinduism" is a foreign construct. We are all a part of the great Indian culture. Some follow Bhagwan Mahavir''s ideas, some Bhagwan Buddha's ideas, some Vedas and Upanishads and some follow something other. Some follow all these simultaneously. There is nothing called Hinduism. If there is anything called Hinduism then it is this great cultural and spiritual environment of India which provides breeding ground for such great ideas and philosophies to emerge and nourish. This is what the RSS and Savarkar mean by the term "Hindutva".
The worst and most brutal offenders and violators of this great Indian culture ("Hindutva" in RSS's terminology) have been the corrupt Brahmins, far worse than any Aurangzeb or Babur. Brahmins have been the most corrupt, unscrupulous and crooked set of people in India in the last 2-3K years. It is them who institutionalized the caste system and introduced various malpractices, worst of them being, untouchability. It is when these thugs started to become thekedaars and sole proprietors and custodians of "Dharma" and dharmic discourse and traditions of India, the degradation of this great culture began.

Shubha Srinath • 9 years ago

Sir, with due respect to you, please also can you spend a little while addressing persecution of Hindus in the past 1000 years, in India and across geographies? Or is it that you are trying to say, let Hindus die and become extinct some day, but just protect muslims and christians at any cost in India?? More than 30 crores hindus have been persecuted in past 1000 years. Does their blood and life not carry any value for you? Sir, you and your clan are living in India coz of we Hindus allowed your forefathers to settle here centuries ago gave you equal rights as Indians, when the whole world was persecuting your clan in Iran. Don't you owe anything to that clan of Hindus? How many more years and after how many more genocides do you want us to become awakened to this brutal society? Why do you make such insensitive remarks when it is not asked for, is it just to please a section of society whom you consider as minority?? Don't you see what's happening in the west, how brutal "your Minority" are? Do you want the same to happen in a large scale in India to Hindus too? Please also talk about lakhs of temples destroyed over centuries, and are constantly destroyed even now. Over 1000 Temples were destroyed in Kashmir in last 3 decades. Despite it is proved in the Supreme Court that Babri Masjid was built on our most revered RAM TEMPLE, still we are not allowed to re-build our temple in Ayodhya. Above all these, can you assure Indian muslims will be safe in Islamic countries? If so, let them go and settle there for sometime, and also why don't u go with your family to your origin country Iran see what religious freedom do you get ... Please try without miss, respected Sir!!

Rajan • 9 years ago

RSS have been misusing religion to gain votes and political power. Meaning of secularism has been twisted by them beyond logical comprehension. Slowly the poison has crept in even at the highest judicial level. The govt too is playing along as it benefits them and no action is taken against communal statements by its affiliates although officially it feigns ignorance of any violations of law/constitution. The comments section is full of hardcore irrational arguments in favour of radical Hinduism as if Hindus have been persecuted and discriminated against which is far from the practical truth. If at all, Hindus have been oppressed by other Hindus. Extremist activity among a section of the minority community is being generalised into a scary bogey to target all minorities and push them into second class citizenship. Minorities Affairs Ministry is a total sham and is acting against the interests of minorities.

Indian • 9 years ago

In India it is fashionable to bash a Hindu and speak as if you are all for minority rights. Minorities in India are enjoying more rights than the majority Hindus. If Nariman were in Pakistan and made a similar comment about the majority religion there he might have happily been either hanged for blasphemy or killed by a pious mussalman.

MangoManav • 9 years ago

from Greeks to Turks to Moguls to British to Italians have mis-used our tolerance to screw us. On other country the majority are as tolerant as Hindus and still be insulted by the govt and the western educated leftist sickular elites in media.

one should be as tolerant as the situation demands. not more than that, and not less than that. over tolerance is very bad and hinduism have already seen the results to that. its not wrong if you are decreasing your tolerance. its a very situational thing.

Chintu B • 9 years ago

"Nariman, who began the lecture by saying that he welcomed the single-party majority government at the Centre but also feared it because of “past experience with majoritarian government(s)”, said Hinduism has traditionally been the most tolerant of all Indian faiths."

It is obvious that he wants that minorities should lord over Hindus who should be consigned to a life of perpetual slavery, torture, insult and exploitation under the minorities, and then only the minorities will be happy. Sorry Mr. Nariman, whether you like it or not, Hindus are not THAT "tolerant", and there is no reason to be that tolerant. You are hypersensitive for minorities and have absolutely no regard for the rights and aspirations of the majority. A Hindu becoming PM in a Hindu majority country seems "intolerance" to you and you show no knowledge or concern for the vilest things that lots of minority leaders keep saying about Hindus, and the severe atrocities that the minorities keep committing on Hindus. Either you can update your selective knowledge and correct your wholly minorityist bias, or keep fretting. The fault is on your side, not with Hindus, whom you hate, disregard and distrust so much.

sangeeta • 9 years ago

HINDUS and HINDUSIM does NOT NEED politically powerful individuals for its REVIVAL. History shows, Hindusim has been revived time and again by SPIRITUAL THINKERs and teachers like Sri Ramkrishna Paramhans, Mahaprabhu, Swami Vivekananda, MIRABAI and many others. Political and business leaders cannot be LEADERS OF HINDUISM just because they are powerful and hindus, in that order. Jai Shri Krishna.

Awareness4All • 9 years ago

Do you know Hindus god RAMA’S MOM HAD SE X WITH A
DEAD HORSE:The Asvamedha yajna was a celebrated sacrifice in which many ancient Hindu queens & ksatriya women in various provinces had se x with a dead horse, and Rama’s mom (Kausalya) & co-mom’s were no exception. Rama’s mom
spends a whole night having se x with a dead horse for the purpose of
‘righteousness & cleansing of sins':– Ramayana1:13:24-33.

Spiritual Wisdom • 9 years ago

LOL...This must be your own mother's story. Instead of a Horse I think you used her. That is not Ramayan buddy, it's called your family life. Ramayan does not go by 1:13:24-33...these stupid numbers are in a book where a saviour could not save himself.

Its because of crack knuckleheads like these that we are facing existential crisis!!! Few more years, you may see Hindus as minority struggling for their rights like what is happening in Pak and BD.... Wake up mandh Buddhijeevion before its too late and your great grand children are born as Hindu minorities in Hindusthan!

V.Viswanathan • 9 years ago

If any census fig of different groups of minorities say between the one
In 1947 and 2010 is analysed one will know the status of affairs.
Coming to the conversion the privileges to the minorities itself is an attraction
for leaving behind their originals .If it was limited to this only we can't say there is a problem.
What about seeds of violence? Where from it is pushed? If the conversions has
foreign hands what is the way to handle it?

IndianWellWisher • 9 years ago

The famous quotation of Mahatma Gandhi on Hindu cowards and Muslim bullies deserves to be read in full: "There is no doubt in my mind that in the majority of quarrels the Hindus come out second best. But my own experience confirms the opinion that the Mussalman as a rule is a bully, and the Hindu as a rule is a coward. I have noticed this in railway trains, on public roads, and in the quar�rels which I had the privilege of settling. Need the Hindu blame the Mussalman for his cowardice? Where there are cowards, there will always be bullies. They say that in Saharan�pur the Mussal�mans looted houses, broke open safes and, in one case, a Hindu woman's modesty was outraged. Whose fault was this? Mussalmans can offer no defence for the execrable conduct, it is true. But I, as a Hindu, am more ashamed of Hindu cowardice than I am angry at the Mussalman bullying. Why did not the owners of the houses looted die in the attempt to defend their possessions? Where were the relatives of the outraged sister at the time of the outrage? Have they no account to render of themselves? My non-violence does not admit of running away from danger and leaving dear ones unprotected. Between violence and cowardly flight, I can only prefer violence to cowardice."[

Raj • 9 years ago

Have lots of regards for the author however if one calls some one on the subject which he was to talk, what does one expect? There is a need to discuss appeasement/fragmenting the society had led to this situation. Why is majority feeling uncomfortable in its own country. Hardliners are symptoms of extreme frustration with the system. Rather than chide them, need to understand the problem and then address it. Issue is - are Hindus upset with appeasement? Answer is of course, Yes. The solution lies in looking at the nation beyond the stupid, divisive vision of Nehru and Co.

Are Parsis, Jains, Buddhists feeling insecure in this country? True Muslims feel happy else how can you imagine the democratically elected government in J&K. At least intelligentsia should not stroke the sentiments of the Indians who are misled by uneducated leadership.

I don't see any Muslim "minority" speaking up against the atrocities against non-Muslims by Muslims in an Islamic country!

Until and unless these "minorities" stand up not just for their own kind but for humanity as a whole, I have no sympathy for these jerks who take free handouts from the government and still cry to the world about being oppressed~!

And enough of this bs about being like Gandhi who was a waste of skin and made people weak and cowardly~!

Lola • 9 years ago

Moron Nariman does not find anything wrong about Owaisis' hate speech or Kashmiri muslims' hate speeches . For anti-hindu nariman, it's always hindus who are guilty of communalism. Has Nariman forgotten that it's because of tolerant nature, his community Parsis are thriving in India after being kicked out of Iran by muslims. If he hates hindus, he can go back to Iran.

Bharat VIJ • 9 years ago

I have a lot of respect and genuine admiration for Mr.
Fali S. Nariman. I however, disagree with some of
his statements. “Hinduism is losing its
traditional tolerance because some Hindus have started believing that it is
their faith that has brought them political power — and because this belief is
not being challenged by ‘those at the top’”.

As Mr. Fali S Nariman would agree, Hinduism cannot surely
be represented by a few “Hindus” and their beliefs. The “Hindus” that have gained political power would number only in the thousands (543 MPs maximum) out of a billion Hindus in
India. Even assuming the worst case
scenario, approx. two thousand out of a billion is not representative of
anything certainly not all of Hinduism or of all Hindus or even of a majority
of them. How can Hinduism lose its traditional
tolerance based on the beliefs of a miniscule/negligible minority from their
midst???

More importantly, I was under the impression that it is
the BJP and its candidates that have gained political power, and not “Hindus”, who
also comprised the majority of candidates of other political parties. When the congress was in power it was still “Hindus”
who were the majority of MPs/those with political power. Were these Congress MPs any less “Hindu” or
any more than the current (BJP) “Hindus” of Mr. Nariman’s delineation???

It seems Mr. Nariman believes that religion is
represented by people with political power—and that is a grievous error in judgment. In other words, his position would appear to
be a very communal one – or he is looking at politics through the prism of
communalism. Political parties win and
lose elections based on a host of reasons and when more than one candidate is
from the same religion in a constituency, the candidate’s religion can obviously
not be the deciding issue. In how many
constituencies, in the recent LS elections, were there candidates who belonged
to a particular religion to the exclusion of other candidates of the same
religion??? Not even one I’d say, thus proving
Mr. Nariman’s belief to be incorrect.

Now let’s deal with “beliefs”: “….some Hindus have started believing that it
is their faith that has brought them political power — and because this belief
is not being challenged by “those at the top””.
As everyone knows, beliefs are quite individual. To even try to control
someone else’s beliefs is quite untenable a proposition besides it being unthinkable
to any rational and reasonable human being.
One may be “at the Top” that doesn’t mean one has the power to change
another person’s beliefs. An unrealistic
expectation is how I would term this particular flaw in logic.

In fact in my opinion, it is time Hinduism’s traditional
tolerance be adopted by “adherents” of other faiths not only in India but also
globally. Really, one must forget to be
too quick in applying labels like “hate speech”, and “fanaticism” to the venting
out of issues perceived as genuine by the people most affected. This verbal venting out and catharsis in my
opinion is far superior to the alternatives.
As long as such venting out is of a “non-violent” in a “non-retaliatory”
sense, I would ignore it legally, but try to investigate the truth in their
assertions instead of off-handedly labelling it “hate speech”. More tolerance is required and a wider scope
is to be given to our understanding of “Freedom of Expression”. To illustrate, in the US, legally, even holy
books of other faiths can be burned if one disagrees with their content, and
this spectacle be put on the net!

By the way, I really would like to know Mr. Fali S.
Nariman’s views on a uniform civil code for India??? What are they???

KrishMadathil • 9 years ago

Tolerance does not mean Hindus have to endorse others holier than thou attitude always(if that is what is considered as tolerance).

Subhash Bhagwat • 9 years ago

If indeed it is to be called intolerant, the Hindu response is to the attacks from Islam and Christianity and is a natural survival instinct. Hindus have historically only responded, not initiated intolerance. With all due respect Mr. Mistry, you have got your facts backwards!!

Cyberai • 9 years ago

Hinduism is still the most tolerant faith but if it still remains tolerant like Manmohan it risks being wiped out by Islam and Christianity..I cant bear the fact that as a human someone cant tolerate any human being believing in any other faith.Hindus relish festivals and programs be it any faith.I doubt if Mr Nariman is a Parsi whose community found refuge in Hindu India and still Hindus strive to save zoroastrianism.
