Hindutva seems to have got new vigour now. The Advisory Board constituted to examine Varun Gandhi’s hate speech and booking under the National Security Act has recommended the withdrawal of the said Act against Vaun Gandhi. (news item here)
The three member panel comprising two retired HC judges Justices S N Sahai and P K Sareen, was understood to have stated in no uncertain terms that the inflammatory speeches made by Varun were not enough to attract the deterrent provisions of the NSA and the action takes was disproportionate to the nature of the alleged crime committed by Varun Gandhi.
But what exactly is this Advisory Board? Who constitutes it ?
Under the National Security Act, Sections 9, 10 and 11 govern the formation of the Advisory Board. Once a person is booked under the NSA, the appropriate government forms the Advisory Board and transfers the case to it. The main function of the Board is to look into the alleged acts and opine if there was sufficient cause for the person to be detained and booked under the NSA. If the Advisory Board opines that there wasn’t any sufficient cause for the detention of such person, the Appropriate government must revoke the order of detention.
The National Security Act governs the arrest and detention of persons acting in any manner prejudicial to the defence of India, relations of India with foreign powers, or the security of India.In Kartar Singh v. State of Punjab, the phrase ‘defence of India’ was construed to mean not only external sovereignty but also internal sovereignty. This, added to the phrase ‘security of India’ might have seemed appropriate to book Varun Gandhi to say that his hate speech might have instigated a riot or harmed the security of the state. The hate speech of Varun can be viewed below,
Well, he might want to cut the hands of people from another religion, But surely Varun Gandhi has had the laugh now. The question remained as to whether this speech was sufficient to harm the security of the state or ‘defence of India’. The Advisory Board found otherwise and thus the booking against him under the Act has been revoked against him. He may however, still be booked under the Indian Penal Code for incitement to violence and religious hatred.

Is this moron related to the great Nehru? If so, Marx was right: when history repeats itself, it’s in the guise of a farce!

The real downfall of India started when the Khajuraho temples were built. The public display of eroticism is against Hinduism. The Khajuraho temples were built from 950 AD – 1150 AD. And shortly after that, Shahabuddin Ghori invaded India in 1175. The erotic sculptures in the Khajuraho temples need to be “broken” out and replaced with beautiful “paintings” of Hindu Gods. There is an argument that these foreign rulers saved India from Mongol invasion, but if Khajuraho temples were never built, even Mongols would have been defeated. Even Alexander the Great attacked India but failed, although western historians made another story out of it but Alexander was defeated. No one who won India ever returned back. Only those who were defeated returned back. For India to regain its old glory, Khajuraho temples and other temples where erotic sculptures/paintings are displayed, they need to go. Pornography is against Hinduism. One can have as much sex as one wants but adultery and pornography is against Hinduism. The erotic sculptures in the Khajuraho temples and other temples need to be “broken” out and replaced with beautiful “paintings” of Hindu Gods. And then India will rise and will remain at the top.
