Mr. M.F.Hussain has recently drawn some naked pictures of hindu gods and goddeses. And all of us are ready to accept it in the name of artist freedom. I would really like to ask mr. hussain why hindu gods after all ?
This is a big scheme I feel which is run to defame and demoralise hindus. I remember here the incidence a few years back when Ganapati picture was put on toilet seats. I sincerely feel that hindus now should unite togather and show some strength. Whatever great values our culture may have; without strength everything will get nullified.
We should see how the protest was made against Danish magazines printing prophet cartoons. I also condemn this act here. But I need not actually. There community is sensitive and organised enough to respond properly to it. The question is only for Hindus. When are we going to learn our lessons ?
Its time now to act. I feel all government rewards to Hussain should be taken back and we need to develope a mass movement for it than writing a blog.

Honest Indians
This is a real story happened in kerala. Some days back there was a conference in Kochi on laser physics. Around fifty scintists from all over the world had come to attend it of which some were Russians.
On the last day, one Russian scientist left out a little early from his hotel. Later the cleaner found 525 dollars and some 500 rubals in the room. It was very easy for him to keep the money and noone would have known about it. But this man returned it to the hotel manager and manager arranged it to give the money to an another Russian scientist who had stayed back for a few more days.
I heard this story from people who were involved in this affair.
I bow down to this anonymous sweeper of kerala and also in front of our motherland who gave birth to such a person.

U.S. based company taking advantage of Indian tribal knowledge
In India it's a long tradition of ayurvedik medicines. We knew the medical uses of many plants and never patented it. But now alarmingly more and more foreign based companies are making commercial use of it without giving due share to the natives. They are taking advantage in the flaw of patent laws and its nonconformity in various countries. What's worse is they can easily make some life saving drugs vanish from market with such strategy.
For one such story, read this article :
Since ancient times, Kani tribals knew that arogyapacha (Trichopus zeylanicus) was a stress-buster. After nearly a decade of research, the Thiruvananthapuram-based Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (TBGRI) made a herbal product, Jeevani, from the herb and transferred the technology to Coimbatore-based Arya Vaidya Pharmacy to produce and market the drug.
The profit from the licence fee was routed to Kerala Kani Samudaya Kshema Trust, set up for the welfare of the Kani tribe. The move was hailed worldwide as a sterling example of successful commercialisation of traditional knowledge and the benefits were reaped by the tribal community for sharing their knowledge with the world.
That was the story until Great Earth, a US nutrition store, discovered the benefits of Jeevani. The American company is selling the drug under its own brand name - Jeevani Jolt 1000 - without having the permission to do so.
