The Congress party has placed itself at the controls of India and are thus strangling the future hope of the world. Its not just for India alone that the experiantial wisdom of vedic India survives. It is for the future upliftment of the whole world. As long as anti- vedic leaders are controlling India, there is no hope for this knowledge to be effectively applied.THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELEIVE THAT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH INDIA IS ITS CONNECTION TO ITS ANCIENT VEDIC CULTURE. THEY ENVISSION AN INDIA SHORN OF ITS INDIGENOUS IDENTITY. IN FACT THE CONGRESS PARTY IS SO FOREIGN IN ITS IDEOLOGY THAT IT CAN FIND NO NATIVE BORN LEADER TO CHAMPION ITS CAUSE thus THE NEED FOR THE SONIA CRUTCH. The supporters of Hinduism/vedic culture and true secularism only have ourselves to blame. We forfieited the weapons of the modern battlefield ie THE MEDIA. the Hindu leadership has allowed the opposition to deconstruct and degrade every success and highlight every weakness. Despite millions of members and vast resources, the Hindu leadership has yet to create a viable media presence. As long as that is the case, the outlook is grim and the immediate future looks dark. In my humble but firm opinion, the Hindu leadership should make gaining control of a major media outlet its number 1 goal.the Hindus need a global 24 hr tv station. There is no other arena which is as important. After 5 years at the helm of Govt affairs in India, it has all been squandered because India'####### is hostile to its efforts. So what if the converted know the truth, its the uninformed innocent that we must protect from the lies of the oppossition. The fact is now that Vajpayee and Advani are out of office, the true disinvestment of thier works is now beginning. The media has a leading role in this effort. I for one have lost alot of confidence in the Hindu leadership because it seems to not understand the most basic premise of leadership...maintaining the morale of the people and nation. You cant do that without being heard. in the modern age you can not be heard without a strong media presence. namaste,Vrn VFA-family, "K.S.
