Dear Radhika Rajen
You just mentioned about "the likes of Kafeel, Sabeel
and Haneef"... What do you have to say say about the
following report:
 
New Report Points To Growing Sangh Student Network in
the US

New Delhi, Thursday, Jan 17, 2008 : The Campaign to
Stop Funding Hate (CSFH) will release its latest
report "UNMISTAKABLY SANGH: THE NATIONAL HSC AND ITS
HINDUTVA AGENDA" on the growth of the Sangh Parivar's
student wing in the USA - the Hindu Students Council
(HSC). The press conference and report release are
scheduled at the Press Club, Raisina Road, at 3 PM
today. The report documents a long and dense trail of 
connections between the HSC and the Sangh from 1990 to
the present. Ironically, the HSC exists on US American
university campuses because of the liberal policy of
multiculturalism that allows for diversity of cultures
and tolerance. Yet HSC has promoted divisive and
sectarian speakers such as Ashok Singhal and Sadhvi
Rithambara. Indian American youth many times join the
HSC without an awareness of the "invisible"
connections between HSC and the Sangh.

The HSC was founded in 1990 as a project of the VHP of
America. In 1993, Ashok Singhal, the then General
Secretary of the VHP declared, "Now, the first project
we have in mind is strengthening the Hindu Student
Council".1 The report Unmistakably Sangh, provides the
first comprehensive documentation of the origins, 
methods and practices of the HSC and directly counters
the claims of the HSC that it "has been independently
run since 1993".2 The report uses documents from Sangh
sources - VHPA tax returns, filings with US Patents
Office, Internet domain registry information, archives
of the HSC, and publications of the Sangh Parivar in
North America and elsewhere, to establish that the HSC

was and remains an arm of the global Sangh Parivar.

Between 2002 and 2004, two reports, "The Foreign
Exchange of Hate", and "In Bad faith" exposed the
siphoning of funds by the Sangh in the US and UK
respectively. This new report establishes that the
Sangh's interests and activities in the US go far
beyond funding, and that the HSC represents a grooming
space for young Sangh leadership and the entry of the
Sangh ideology into second generation Indian American 
spaces. "The Hindu Students Council claims to be 
an independent organization with no links to any 
Hindutva organization or movement. This is patently
unfair because most of those who join HSC do not know
of the strong ties between HSC and the Sangh," says
Ashwini Rao, a campaign coordinator for CSFH. Several
of the HSC's early recruits on American campuses are
leaders in the Global Sangh operations today. "How
important the HSC is to the Sangh can be seen from the
fact that the HSC built and operated a significant 
part of the Sangh's electronic infrastructure out 
of a server cluster in California" Raja Swamy, another
CSFH coordinator pointed out. This runs counter to the
policy of multiculturalism that allows organizations
such as HSC on American campuses.

The latest report is part of CSFH's Truth Out on HSCs3
Campaign aimed at educating Indian-Americans on the
Sangh Parivar and its operations in the US. For more

Summary and full versions of the report will be 
available at the press conference and online at 
www.stopfundinghate .org after 3:00 PM IST on 
January 17.

Hi, 
   every human for better opportunities do migrate for
greener pastures
  and for better life, but none other than the islamic
followers prove
 to be more fanatic to faith , that is why you will
find the names of
 the likes Kafeel, Sabeel and Haneef and now latest is
two more in spain
 detained for being subversive with terror acts. !
     You will find a patel or a singh or a south
indian any where in
 palnet earth, jokes are about a keralite who sells
chai in moon, but none
 have taken their faith to public domain, but practise
  it for their
 well being, not foisting the faith on the society
they have adopted to
 live in. ?
