1. Clarion Call To The Nation, By: Sadhu Prof Rangarajan, Sister Nivedita Academy, Bangalore
When thousands of Hindu women were raped and children were mercilessly butchered by the Mussalmans in Punjab and Sindh, our 'secular' Hindu leaders were sitting comfortably in their prayer halls singing "Ishwara Allah tere naam"!

Today, it is a matter of great shame and dishonour that even a democratically elected Government at the Centre is utterly helpless to contain the Islamic fundamentalism growing inside the country and the attack of the militants from across the border and they look to USA, Britain and other European nations for permission to take action to protect our own country's integrity and its border!

Those Indians who have extra-territorial loyalty and look towards European and Arab countries for guidance and inspiration whether in the matter of religion or politics must necessarily be thrown out of the sacred soil of Bharatavarsha if we have to preserve our nationality and independence.

2. Pakistan: A big Vote for Jihad, NewsWeek
The Islamist leader could scarcely contain his glee. “This is a revolution!” crowed Qazi Hussain Ahmed, promising to evict not only U.S. troops but every trace of Western culture from Pakistan"s soil. Not even Qazi himself, had expected to show

3. Being Indian abroad, II – Francois Gautier, Rediff
My article, Being Indian abroad, I triggered such a massive reaction that I felt it is better writing another column to respond to points made by readers, rather than answer e-mail

4. Kashmir: The need to square the circle, ATimes
Washington"s reticence in putting any real pressure on Pakistan to curb cross-border militancy is rooted in the belief that Kashmir is simply not an issue on which President General Pervez Musharraf can move decisively

5. Married to the Mob, TimeAsia
Bollywood stars are in a shotgun wedding with top gangsters. Sometimes the bullets are real. The Big Boss, a gangster who controls the film industry and whose menacing mantra is: "I"ll be watching. I always am."

6. Temple Slaughter – Not the starting point, Saag
As usual the Temple attack issue has generated another debate on the failure of the Government to combat terrorism. But is this tragedy the starting point of terrorism in the country? Such incidents have become routine in this biggest democratic country.

7. Playing with fire, Guardian
If George Bush"s "war on terror" were remotely rational, or even roughly reasoned, then its next target might be Pakistan, not Iraq. It should be said that the US is not justified in pre-emptively and unilaterally attacking either country

8. Nobel rebuke for Bush as Carter wins prize, Guardian
Jimmy Carter, the only US president since 1945 never to order American soldiers into combat, yesterday won the Nobel peace prize in what the award committee made clear was a deliberate slap at President George Bush.
