Only a true bigot screeching in the light of scrutiny could come up with such convoluted nonsense.

The Awaaz report is a sound exposure…

I’d call it a fragile fabrication. It’s something I’d expect to read in the Sun.

These UK pressure groups should be investigated and any ties to extremist nationalist groups like the VHP and RSS should be exposed.

That’s the first time I’ve heard someone call a charity a “pressure group”. Yes, there are links between Sewa International and VHP – this link doesn’t need exposing, it’s clearly stated on Sewa International’s website.

Finally, Awaaz have presented no evidence that Sewa International funds have been used to fund political ideologies.

I agree it’s very easy to see the bigots in the comments above – those who have presumed guilt.

The Awaaz report is a sound exposure of political ideologies being funded through deciet and dishonesty. They are milking the british asian community by selling a false image of charity through their own brand of hinduism, or as it is better known, hindutva.

This is far apart from the values of hinduism.

These UK pressure groups should be investigated and any ties to extremist nationalist groups like the VHP and RSS should be exposed.

They could very well be the new muslim fanatics of the future.

Despite their extremist mode of thinking, they are not going to start suicide bombing trhe London Underground. Comparing them with Islamist fanatics in this context is wrong and is scaremongering. Gurcharan Singh is now discredited and without a constituency of any real importance.

Extremist sites like http://www.sikhsangat.com – sikh politics section, and http://www.saintsoldiers.net, http://www.carnage84.com and extremsit videos regarding Khalistan show the new wave of anti Indian India, fanatical type Khalistani Sikh , he has helped spawn and encouraged.

Good riddance to this Extremist who pretends to be there for the good of the community

Yes its important that the authorities keep an eye on this growing fanatacism amongst today sikhs.

They could very well be the new muslim fanatics of the future.

People in repsonsible positions politically should be more careful.

Gurcharan Singh was a joke

Whereas on the link you provided on Islamic fundamentalist they merely fob them off as a bunch of ‘complex and sometimes highly overlapping political tendencies, organization and network.’
That statement almost sounds like they are acceptable in what they do.

They then further emphasise that the tendencies described are not the ‘organised beliefs of vast majority of muslim populations in the UK.’. Funny they never say that about Hindu organisations.

They defend Islam by saying the war on terror is a witchhunt politics directed against individual muslims individual and groups in the UK’.
Then they describe how the media are twisting the words in deceptive ways’.

How is this secular?

One cannot seriously take the validity of reports made by this group whose sole aim is bring down Hinduism into disrepute.

A country which has 85% Hindus, and to be fair, it is the only motherland for Hindus, their rights has never been addressed or accommodated. The Congress inspired by Gandhi professed a secular state, but has constitutional rights for religious groups. For a secular state to be fully functional, there should be no room for religion in politics.

As for the RSS, it lost its roots for a while but came back with branches attached which has other agendas, like the Bajrang Dal, VHP etc.

Please note that although VHP claim they represent Hindu voice, they don’t. Vast majority of Hindus do not support their hardline attitude and they only operate in the state of Maharashtra, thank God.

Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s enough.

Well, yes it can, if it has qualified that statement.

1. “The extremist RSS’s front organizations” – to call the RSS extremist is opinion, not fact. Sure, this could be expected in a media report, but not in a summary of ‘key findings’.

Maybe. But that’s like saying the same about Hizb ut-Tahrir.

2. “HSS and Sewa International are UK branches of the RSS” – the lies begin; this is opinion, not fact.

That was qualified. See the bit about sharing addresses and charity numbers.

3. “Sewa International’s deep connections with the extremist RSS” – ‘deep’ is undefined an qualitative.

qualified with fact.

4. “The overwhelming bulk of funds HSS and Sewa International collected…were given to extremist RSS fronts in India” – it appears RSS cannot be mentioned without being called ‘extremist’ (opinion, not fact), ‘RSS fronts’ again a construction made by the authors.

Your point being what? The authors fully admit they hate the RSS. The point here is about Sewa International’s connections.

5. “RSS allies funded from UK public donations” – the idea of ‘allies’ is opinion, not fact.

Again, qualified with links demonstrated in the report.

Surely this isn’t the best you can come up with?

1. “The extremist RSS’s front organizations” – to call the RSS extremist is opinion, not fact. Sure, this could be expected in a media report, but not in a summary of ‘key findings’.

2. “HSS and Sewa International are UK branches of the RSS” – the lies begin; this is opinion, not fact.

3. “Sewa International’s deep connections with the extremist RSS” – ‘deep’ is undefined an qualitative.

4. “The overwhelming bulk of funds HSS and Sewa International collected…were given to extremist RSS fronts in India” – it appears RSS cannot be mentioned without being called ‘extremist’ (opinion, not fact), ‘RSS fronts’ again a construction made by the authors.

Sounds like a broad generalisation. Give me an example.

First it was the police who were in cahoots with fundamentalist and terrorist and now it’s the British MPs!

next headlines

xyz MP is loudly cosying up to Sikh terrorist and his friends for political reasons. His constituency has a sikh population. Because he wants those brown votes, wants to make sure he has it on record that he is willing to make loud sucking sounds.

xyz MP is loudly cosying up to Islamic terrorist and his friends for political reasons. His constituency has a muslim population. Because he wants those brown votes, wants to make sure he has it on record that he is willing to make loud sucking sounds.

I lost interest after the zillionth epithet.

That doesn’t take away from the facts that were uncovered.

Incidentally, terms like ‘anti-Hindu’ are as vacuous and devoid of meaning as ‘anti American,’ or ‘anti-Islamic.’

A week is a long time in politics
