NEW YORK: The 12th Hindu Sangathan Divas (Hindu Unity Day) in New York has unanimously resolved to form a Hindu political party in India.
At a meet on Wednesday attended by over 700 Hindus, a resolution on forming a Hindu political party was read by Srichand Sidhwani, a senior community activist.
It was seconded by Babu Suseelan, a psychiatrist from Pennsylvania, according to India Post, an ethnic newspaper.
Hindu religious leader Sadhvi Ritambhara and Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy led the meet.
\"The main aim for this political party would be to safeguard the legitimate interests of Hindus in India, preserve the Hindu character of the country, and ultimately capture political power,\" Swamy said.
Earlier, Narain Kataria, president of Indian American Intellectuals Forum, the chief organiser of meet, congratulated Hindus of America for making the Hindu Unity Day a great success.
\"Your presence here in this auditorium in big numbers demolishes the fallacious theory propounded by the prophets of doom that Hindus cannot be united. Your presence in this hall exposes the myth that Hindus cannot speak in one voice. Your presence is a testimony to the fact that Hindu unity on an all-India level is a practicable and feasible proposition,\" he said.

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....
"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

My understanding was that hinduism is not a religion in the strictest sense of the word.

It seems very clear from the statement that the ultimate goal is to get into political power in the name of religion.. shame on those people who want to do something in the name of religion..again if they are so concerned about India then why the hell they are living in the US and not packing their bags and go back to their intended place where they want to do a lot in the name of religion to safe gaurd all the things what they are saying. They still want to have all the good comfort and rights they enjoy in the US, why dont they give up their US citizenship and show the Indian patriotism in practice rather making all these hulla and dividing India in the name of religion. Already its been tried to be divided and imbalace is created in some states...shame that people who are educated and seen the world from a global perspective are participating for such actions and supporting such things...Isnt this a form of fascism in the name of Hindu religion...
This is my personal view from the things I understand on this post.. people may have different opinion..
I am recollecting an old saying \\\"Think before you act\\\" ..... needs to be reminded to people perhaps

I was salivating when I opened this thread only to find that this is for another Hindu party in India.
Why don't they make a Hindu political party in the US or here in Canada ?? That would make it much more interesting.
Maybe CDs here should band to form the Desi Party of Canada. BL can be our Prime Minister

Its okay to be religous BUT KEEP IT AWAY FROM POLITICS.I have to agree with Marx at times when he says that religion is the opium of the masses.

Irony of the matter - making a religious party in a foreign land for your home country (which you decided to leave behind in the first place).
