>>BY BEING SECULAR WE SOUND GOOD AND TOLERANT, BUT IN REALITY WE PROMOTE RELIGION - SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE LONG BEEN DISCARDED BY HUMANKIND. THESE ABSOLUTELY UNSCIENTIFIC BOOKS THAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO COLLAGE, WERE WRITTEN HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS BACK BY PROBABLY SOME WELL MEANING GUYS, BUT ARE NOTHING ELSE BUT COMPILATIONS OF TOTALLY OUTDATED MORAL GUIDELINES AND TOTALLY FALSE STORIES OF ORIGINS OF HUMANKIND AND THE UNIVERSE<<
I have had friends from all religions and like many Indians, celebrated all religious festivals with them with full enthusiasm, despite being a secular atheist ever since my childhood. And till 2014, I never realised that just being a secular atheist could often feel like being spineless.
Because till 2014, I was not a part of a platform called WhatsApp.
After becoming a part of this platform (I don’t really think I need to explain to my readers how from America to India WhatsApp groups divided families and friends across political and religious ideologies, they surely know or can do their own research) I started feeling that secular atheism is a giant compromise and disservice to the society.
It is what stops the spread of right education and keeps the world divided. By being a secular atheist we say we don’t believe God exists but we are fine if you believe God exists. We believe in saying that we respect your belief system.
Though that sounds very good, in my view that’s not the right thing to do. While everyone is free, and must be left free to call the sun as moon and vice versa, it’s wrong on our part to say we believe in accepting your view point - the purpose of secularism. Our job is not only to say that you might believe that’s the moon but it’s incorrect; But our job is to say, it is actually the sun and please do not teach anyone, especially our children, such wrong concepts.
Our job is to clearly tell people what’s right and what’s wrong. And take a stance. We can’t just say murder is bad but it’s fine if you think otherwise. We can’t just say rape isn’t right but it’s your free will. We can’t just say dictatorship is bad but it’s fine to practice it. We can’t just say blind beliefs are bad but as a nation we accept all kinds of blind beliefs and believe in coexisting with them.
We have to be forcefully vocal against certain evils, we need laws to make certain acts illegal and we need to take affirmative action against certain ills that plague our society.
In simpler words, we have to be anti-murder, anti-rape, anti-dictatorship, anti-blind beliefs and in my opinion, exactly in a similar manner, anti-theism. Specially if we want to spread global humanity. So post 2014, I stopped being an atheist.
I became an anti-theist.
Anti-theism is not my religion. I have nothing against theists - unlike religious people who often have hatred for people of other religions and above all else for atheists.
I just refuse to accept anything without evidence or rationale and I do not believe that there is anything called God - simply because there is no evidence. And I believe that there is a case to read/hear me out, because, if there is even one life lost on a blind belief we should be against that. And here we are talking about religion and God - due to which the earth has lost the highest number of lives ever, and continues to lose on a daily basis. Which is the key reason why I not only believe that God doesn’t exist, I am actually against (anti) the illusory concept called God that divides human beings, makes them hate each other fanatically, abuses children, women and poor specifically, and is the biggest hindrance to individual health, happiness and success.

HATS OFF TO SHAH RUKH KHAN FOR STANDING HIS GROUND! IT’S NOW TIME TO END THIS HOOLIGANISM ONCE AND FOR ALL AND MAKE MUMBAI A UNION TERRITORY!

SRK is great! Not just because he is such a star, but because he genuinely is the most amazing person and has such a logical and sound brain. And now the entire nation idolizes this man all the more because he has become a symbol of sheer courage as well! And I think all it required was someone like him to stand up coolly and say, “This is not right, I’ve done nothing wrong and I won’t apologise.” When he was saying this, one could almost see the schoolboy rebel in him – not ready to cow down to an illogical man trying to act as the school headmaster. I am writing this editorial immediately after coming back from a show on NDTV 24x7, which was on the topic, “Is Sena the real power in Mumbai?” I was one of the speakers. It was sad to see Uddhav Thackeray, who was another speaker in that show, sticking to a stance that cannot be defended by any sense of logic. When questioned on the show by the NDTV anchor on his tendentious comments against SRK, Uddhav’s reply was that one should ask th

It’s important for Anna to become more flexible and respectful towards the democratic process, to give a bigger thrust to his movement

I was too young then to really remember it all; but I have heard from many people that the mass protests generated by the arrest of Anna Hazare are similar to the uprising called Total Revolution led by the late Jaiprakash Narayan in the early 1970s. In fact, it was the Total Revolution and the chaos that followed – and a historic blunder by Indira Gandhi – that led to the imposition of the Emergency in India in 1975. Many people are comparing today’s situation to the Emergency days. The people of India are so fed up and so disgusted with corruption and our rotten and corrupt system that the wave of protests we see is hardly surprising. I have often publicly called India not a democracy but a demonocracy where crooked politicians and their criminal cohorts are openly plundering the nation; well aware that a dysfunctional judicial system will allow them to get away. In almost all cases, they have actually got away and have hence acquired the arrogance and swagger of pirates who know

Don’t see “Slumdog Millionaire”. It sucks!

A phony poseur that has been made only to mock India for the viewing pleasure of the First World!! The emperor’s new clothes! That’s “Slumdog Millionaire” for you… Five minutes into this celebrated patchwork of illogical clichés and you are struck by the jarring dialogues. The cumbersome delivery in a language which doesn’t come naturally to most of the actors sounds like someone scratching on walls with one’s finger nails; it ruins the possibility of a connection… Had this film been made by an Indian director, it would’ve been trashed as a rotting old hat, which literally stands out only because of its stench, but since the man making it happens to be from the West, we’re all left celebrating the emperor’s new clothes. The film borrows an undoubtedly interesting narrative style – from films like “City of God” – but then uses it to weave in a collection of clichés from the Third World’s underbelly for the viewing pleasure of a First World audience. The real slumdog in the movie is not
