While everyone is focused on the grand larceny that is the useless Commonwealth Games it has escaped people's notice that the games have been deliberately scheduled to coincide with the most holy Hindu festival namely Durga Puja, Ram Lila and Dussehra. The four days of Durga Puja are celebrated by all Hindus but mainly by Bengalis, Ram Lila is celebrated mainly in North India and Dussehra is for everyone. The Goddess Durga is worshiped at many sites in Delhi. The Puja in our colony, as elsewhere, is organised by Bengalis but I see Hindus of every description coming to offer Puja and join our festivities. This is one occasion where there is no Punjabi, Tamil, Oriya, upper caste or low caste. All unite in joyous celebration of the arrival of the Goddess. In Chittaranjan Park alone there are about half a dozen Pujas. Sadly this year that number has been reduced to just one by decree. Perhaps the Congress does not want people to stay away from the useless games and have empty seats at the stadiums. It is not just the people of Delhi that will be celebrating even foreigners will be drawn in to enjoy the wonderful festivities. Most people I know have no intention of wasting money on the useless games and be humiliated by the brutal Delhi police in the name of security. Would the Congress ban so called ' Minorities ' from holding their religious festivals? That would be unthinkable. Yet the Congress has no hesitation in violating the most holy festival in the Hindu calender perhaps to show its phony secularism and win votes of ' Minorities .' A cynical ploy. The Congress should understand that it will cease to exist if it is successful in wiping out Hindus because the ' Minorities ' will make no difference when slitting throats.
