    Federation of Karnataka Christians Association (FKCA)has done the right thing and it should continue to do so. When the justice in India is different for different people, we the people of India should come out open and protest.

    It is believed that, on the eve of Indian independence in 1947, Winston Churchill said, "Power will go to the hands of rascals, rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw." (Wikipedia, 2007). India has proven him wrong by producing more than a few brilliant leaders.

    However, the underlying problem of corruption remains. As long as we have even a fraction of our politicians, or for that matter even one politician, for their own political agenda, inciting uneducated and misguided youth to create disharmony by using religion as their focus, I believe that Winston Churchill may, perhaps, be right.

    Exactly Bajranga Dal is a group of uneducated people, Few years earlier there were no problems of such as we have these days in South kanara. One stick is easy to break but its difficult to break a bunch of sticks, So this is the right time we need to wake up protest against this DAL and prove as a true "Konkani Yuva Awaaz " so that it only does not remain as just a piece of painting on banners.

    One more thing mostly we see our Holy Cross been used as a piece of fashion in movies especially hanging in ears and necklaces of film stars. Why dont any of our catholic friends protest on this matter because our Holy Cross is not meant for fashion we need to raise our voice and try hard so the producers avoid such things in movies.

    What Karnataka needs today is deployment of Indian Army to control such goondagiri & vandalism. Virus is spreading and destroying our peaceful Districts around coastal Karnataka. Government must try to provide education & employment to these jobless youth. Othervise they may get used to this kind of easy profession!

    No doubt Bajrang dal is anti social element and its a group of uneducated,jobless,uncivilised drunkards. They have nothing to do with Hindu religion.They only bring hatred among Hindu Muslims and Christians. Its the right time now for all of us to pressurise Indian Govt.to BAN this group.

    The Christian institutions and hospitals are providing self less service to the nation in India. They must be protected and encouraged. The RSS and its allies like Bajrang Dal, Ram Sena and Hindu Yuv Sena must be labelled as terrorist outfits and must be banned. Justice should prevail and culprits must be brought to justice.

    This Bajarang Dal is nothing but a group of Jobless uneducated people.They really interested in creating nuisance in public,harrassing people and other lawless activities.They have nothing to do with the Hindu religion.

    If we think of the past few years back there was no problems in Karnataka particularly in south canara. Hindu,Muslims,Christians were all mingling with each other and were living in brotherhood,peace and harmony.  But these cowards put the seeds of division and hatred among the communities. Minority communities as well as our hindu freinds should pressurise Indian government to ban this group.
