‘Wailing for help’: passengers and bystanders tell of India train crash horror

The carriages from three separate trains sat piled high in an entangled wreck. Some lay sideways, others had been thrown so high into the air on impact that they had fallen back to earth twisted and upside down.

A line of dozens of bodies covered in white sheets were laid out next to the wreckage waiting for vehicles – ambulances, local cars, even tractors – to take them away to local hospitals, while more bodies were piled up in a nearby school. Passengers’ possessions lay scattered around them, shoes and toys and suitcases thrown open.

The Kerala Story: Why an Indian film on the Islamic State is so controversial

A new film that claims to tell the story of Hindu and Christian women who were lured into joining the Islamic State (IS) group has stirred a huge controversy in India.

The Kerala Story – set in the southern state of Kerala – has been criticised by many opposition politicians, with some calling it propaganda and an attempt to destroy religious harmony.

But it has received support from leaders of the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Prime Minister Narendra Modi who praised it at a recent political rally. Some party members have also hosted screenings and distributed free tickets.

Perfect storm besets ethnic pandering pols…

Mosque officials call on Ford government to combat Islamophobia after ‘shocking’ hate-motivated attack in Markham, Ont.

The Mohammedans are asking Ford to protect them from the spillover into Ontario of the interfaith Hindu-Muslim conflict currently roiling India.

We also have the India-Khalistan conflict to contend with on our shores, several Hindu temples have been vandalized recently.

And the anti-Israel Jihad is now mainstream in “polite circles.”

And don’t forget the problems with our Communist China sympathizers.

Ain’t multiculturalism grand?

Canada has been reduced to a balkanized state of multiple 5th Columns.

Thank the Uniparty.

Surge in Hindu vigilante mobs who ‘attack and kill’ beef-eating Muslims

India is seeing a surge in Hindu vigilante groups violently targeting Muslims for eating beef, with one leader vowing to protect cows “as if they are our daughters and mothers”.

The slaughter of the bovine animals – which are considered holy in Hinduism – is already banned in 20 out of India’s 28 states, and police can make an arrest without a warrant.

Most of the states ruled by India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have established vigilante squads made up of government officials and private citizens to implement the ban

While We Celebrated Christmas, Hundreds Of Indian Christians Were Assaulted By Hindu Mobs

In the liturgical calendar, Christmas Day is immediately followed by the feast of St. Stephen, the very first martyr of the church. Two days after that is the feast of the Holy Innocents, honoring those children under the age of 2 who were murdered by the brutal tyrant Herod. As many wiser than I have observed, our celebration of the birth of the Christ Child is marred by man’s sinful desire to stamp him out, as well as those associated with him.

India-China dispute: Shadow of 60-year-old war at border flashpoint

The fighting began early on a bright autumn morning 60 years ago.

On 23 October 1962 Chinese solders entered and engaged in intense artillery fire in what was then a far-flung Himalayan region in north-eastern India called North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA), bordering China and Bhutan.

Today it is Arunachal Pradesh, an Indian state with more than a million people that China continues to claim as its territory, and where the latest flare-up between the two sides in more than a year took place.

“Explosions lit up the sky and echoed between the mountains,” Indian army personnel told Bertil Lintner, a Swedish journalist and author of the China’s India War: Collision Course on the Roof of the World.

India’s envoy calls on Canada to crack down on Canadian funding of Khalistan separatist movement

Ottawa can help repair frosty relations with New Delhi by cracking down on diasporic funding of the Sikh independence movement that is seeking to create a sovereign homeland known as Khalistan, India’s new envoy to Canada says.

Sanjay Kumar Verma told The Globe and Mail that India has long been concerned that some segments of the Sikh community in Canada are offering support and money to secessionists who want to separate Punjab from India. Punjab is an Indian state where the Sikh religion is the majority.

Jagmeet Singh’s comments on Khalistan risk undermining Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy

… Ottawa and New Delhi want to turn the page on the past and focus on shared goals, including commerce. That’s why it’s disappointing that Mr. Singh, whose party is propping up the minority Liberal government with a supply-and-confidence agreement, took it upon himself to make clumsy comments about Khalistan independence that risk derailing Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy before it’s even off the ground.

Diversity means supporting foreign terror campaigns.
