Hyderabad, Oct 25 : The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Tuesday said the issue of triple talaq was an internal matter for Muslims but made it clear that the RSS was against gender bias.
RSS General Secretary Suresh Joshi said the Muslim community was discussing the issue of triple talaq.
Bhaiyyaji, as he is popularly known, was talking to reporters on the final day of a three-day all India executive council meeting here.
He pointed that it was the Muslim women who moved the court seeking justice.
“Any kind of gender based injustice is not good in this modern world. We wish they get justice. The courts must also consider this issue humanely,” he said.
On Uniform Civil Code, he said the issue had been debated for long and the RSS had taken a clear stand that the law must stop any kind of discrimination.
“There can be issues of some traditions but if they are disturbing the cultural fabric of the society, then the law must interfere and end it,” he said.
Denying that the issue of Ram Mandir was being raised for electoral gains in Uttar Pradesh, Bhaiyyaji said the Hindu community desired a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya.
“But to do this first all legal issues have to be cleared.”
The RSS leader said that BJP President Amit Shah addressed the Sangh conclave.
Without making a direct comment on the functioning of the Modi government, he said the RSS as a responsible organization in a democratic set-up had a right to review the functioning of the government.
Calling for protection of Gourakshaks, Bhaiyyaji said cow protection was not just an emotional issue but related with the rural economy of the nation.
“Cow must be protected, Gourakshaks must get protection and specifically there must be efforts to protect and save local cow breeds,” he added.
Asked about the ban on Pakistani artists in India, he said while the RSS believed that art had no boundaries, these were rare conditions and hence they welcome the ban.—IANS
FEMALE INFANTICDE IS THE BIGGEST GENDER BIAS AMONG HINDUS .
TRIPLE TALAK IS NOT THE CUP OF TEA OF COCONUT HEADS
Sad to see those people who do not know ABCD of Quran they are giving lecture. Constitution of India is sufficient for people belonging to all faiths in India. The problem of Muslim womens will be sorted out soon by scholars and not by BJP or RSS. First government should come out of the mindset of supporting corporate alone, our farmers are dying and till date nothing has been done for them but giving lecture of triple talak.
why cow protection? if it is not Hindu religion based,then we can have cow farming like in most other countries.when other countries including Hindu Nepal has no cow protection act why we should have it ? it is causing colossal damage to foreign exchange income of the nation and hence it is anti national act.also inland many are deprived of cheap healthy food and leather industries are having workers retrenchment adding to already huge joblessness among youth.so why this anti national cow protection act?
Our country is better suited for huge production of cows through cow farming that will give the poor illiterates jobs and food to eat,it will earn foreign exchange through huge beef exporr.we will have huge milk and milk products for inland consumption and export.
REALLY THOSE WHO HAVE RESOURCES TO FILE A CASE IN COURTS SHOULD DO IT AGAINST THE NON SENSE OF COW PROTECTION AND SLAUGHTER ANTI NATIONAL ACT.
IF IT IS HINDU RELIGION BASED THEN IT MUST GO IMMEDIATELY AS NON SENSE CAN NOT BE TOLERATED JUST BECAUSE IT IS HINDU RELIGION BASED.
female infanticide is a crime there are laws against it
so likewise muslims harrase women through talaaq
so govt. is also making laws against triple talaaq
males want to indulge in brochury or leave their wives so they just say them talaaq talaaq talaaq and in only 3 seconds they are free from the marital life and at the same time the woman cannot do the same because it is against Islam
what a bullshit
THERE ARE MUCH MORE HARSHER LAWS ARE WAITING FOR PEOPLE TRIPLE TALAK FOR THEIR BENEFITS
DEAR YASHARTH.IN VEDAS IT IS WRITTEN TO WORSHIP ONE GOD TWO DOZEN TIMES ,IN YOUR OWN HOLY BOOKS,WHY YOU GO AGAINST IT.
BJP ONLY WANTS TO SPREAD HATRED FOR MUSLIMS AND OTHER CASTES
DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF YASHARTH .
JUST THINK OVER WORSHIP OF ONE GOD MESSAGE IN VEDAS AND BHAGWAT GITA
IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERTSAND IT ,HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND TRIPLE TALAK ,CONATCT ANY GOOD MULSIM WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TRIPLE TALAK
AND RUSH TO YOUR HOME TO WORSHIP ONE GOD MENTIONED IN VEDAS .
NOW RSS FOOLS ARE TELLING IT IS MUSLIM PERSONAL ISSUE .
FOR A GOOD HUMAN BEING ,INJUSTICE DONE TO ANYBODY HARMS ,
IF A MUSLIM MURDERS MUSLIM,DO YOU CALL IT PERSONAL ISSUE ,NO……….IT IS HUMAN ISSUE.
BUT WHAT RSS IS DOING IS WITHOUT HAVING ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TRIPLE TALAK ,THEY ARE BARKING LIKE ANIMALS
AND AFTER SO MUCH SPOILING HEAD OF SEVRAL MILLION INDIAN NOW THEY SAY IT IS MUSLIM PERSONQL ISSUE ,

HINDUS RAPED MUSLIM WOMEN JUST BEACUSE THEY ATE BEEF TAKING LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS THEN WHAT IS WRONG IF MUSLIMS TAKE LAW INTO THEIR ARMS AND FIGHT BACK

to he’ll with shariah there should also be law against triple talaaq
DEAR YASHARAT
IF YOU ARE INTELLIGENT READ THIS AND FOLLOW ,TRIPLE TALAK IS NOT WEAK HEADS CUP OF TEA .
CONCEPT OF GOD IN HINDUISM
1. Common Concept of God in Hinduism:
Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.
The major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!
Islam, on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself. Muslims therefore believe that everything is God’s i.e. the word ‘God’ with an apostrophe ‘s’. In other words the Muslims believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.
Thus the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs is the difference of the apostrophe ‘s’. The Hindu says everything is God. The Muslim says everything is God’s.
2. Concept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:
We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures.
BHAGAVAD GITA
The most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita.
Consider the following verse from the Gita: “Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.” [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]
The Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. ‘gods’ besides the True God.
UPANISHADS:
The Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus.
The following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:
“Ekam evadvitiyam”
“He is One only without a second.”
[Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1
“Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah.”
“Of Him there are neither parents nor lord.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2
“Na tasya pratima asti”
“There is no likeness of Him.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3
The following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:
“Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam.”
“His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye.”
[Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4
THE VEDAS
Vedas are considered the most sacred of all the Hindu scriptures. There are four principal Vedas: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda and Atharvaveda.
Yajurveda
The following verses from the Yajurveda echo a similar concept of God:
“na tasya pratima asti
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]5
“shudhama poapvidham”
“He is bodyless and pure.”
[Yajurveda 40:8]6
“Andhatama pravishanti ye asambhuti mupaste”
“They enter darkness, those who worship the natural elements” (Air, Water, Fire, etc.). “They sink deeper in darkness, those who worship sambhuti.”
[Yajurveda 40:9]7
Sambhuti means created things, for example table, chair, idol, etc.
The Yajurveda contains the following prayer:
“Lead us to the good path and remove the sin that makes us stray and wander.”
[Yajurveda 40:16]8
Atharvaveda
The Atharvaveda praises God in Book 20, hymn 58 and verse 3:
“Dev maha osi”
“God is verily great”
[Atharvaveda 20:58:3]9
Rigveda
The oldest of all the vedas is Rigveda. It is also the one considered most sacred by the Hindus. The Rigveda states in Book 1, hymn 164 and verse 46:
“Sages (learned Priests) call one God by many names.”
[Rigveda 1:164:46]
The Rigveda gives several different attributes to Almighty God. Many of these are mentioned in Rigveda Book 2 hymn 1.
Among the various attributes of God, one of the beautiful attributes mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3, is Brahma. Brahma means ‘The Creator’. Translated into Arabic it means Khaaliq. Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Khaaliq or ‘Creator’ or Brahma. However if it is said that Brahma is Almighty God who has four heads with each head having a crown, Muslims take strong exception to it.
Describing Almighty God in anthropomorphic terms also goes against the following verse of Yajurveda:
“Na tasya Pratima asti”
“There is no image of Him.”
[Yajurveda 32:3]
Another beautiful attribute of God mentioned in the Rigveda Book II hymn 1 verse 3 is Vishnu. Vishnu means ‘The Sustainer’. Translated into Arabic it means Rabb. Again, Muslims can have no objection if Almighty God is referred to as Rabb or ‘Sustainer’ or Vishnu. But the popular image of
Vishnu among Hindus, is that of a God who has four arms, with one of the right arms holding the Chakra, i.e. a discus and one of the left arms holding a ‘conch shell’, or riding a bird or reclining on a snake couch. Muslims can never accept any image of God. As mentioned earlier this also goes against Svetasvatara Upanishad Chapter 4 verse 19.
“Na tasya pratima asti”
“There is no likeness of Him”
The following verse from the Rigveda Book 8, hymn 1, verse 1 refer to the Unity and Glory of the Supreme Being:
“Ma cid anyad vi sansata sakhayo ma rishanyata”
“O friends, do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One. Praise Him alone.”
[Rigveda 8:1:1]10
“Devasya samituk parishtutih”
“Verily, great is the glory of the Divine Creator.”
[Rigveda 5:1:81]11
Brahma Sutra of Hinduism:
The Brahma Sutra of Hinduism is:
“Ekam Brahm, dvitiya naste neh na naste kinchan”
“There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.”
Thus only a dispassionate study of the Hindu scriptures can help one understand the concept of God in Hinduism.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS AND FOLLOW IT AND SPRAED THE MESSAGE OF WORSHIP OF ONE GOD AMONG HINDUS .
IF YOU CAN NOT UNDERSTAND ,THEN WHAT CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ,HURRY UP
I am very much confused with the Indian Media and Indian Government as to which is bigger issue for the people of India?
1) Prostitution or Tripple Talak? Where women are helpless to sell their body for their survial.
2)Human Trafficking or Tripple Talak? Where a ten year old girl is sold to sixty year old man.
3) Extra Marital Affairs or Tripple Talak? Where a man has affair with another women without giving Talak.
4) Live in relation or Tripple Talak? Where a man is nor required to marry or give Talak.
Why don’t our main stream Media raise this issues and debate on this burning issues untill this evil issues are eradicated from our country.
