    Katju Saab,

    This is what you SHOULD NOT do and talk about......

    1. Dont praise the White invader for building railways and roads... THEY DID IT TO ROB US BLIND AND CONVERTED BHARAT MATA FROM THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO ONE OF POOREST IN THE WORLD.
    2. Dont praise Muslim invaders for your ridiculous affection for dargah, perfumes and mosques built on Hindu Temples from the stones of the demolished Hindu Temples.
    3. Dont praise any of the invaders who invaded Bharat Mata.

    This is what you SHOULD do and talk about.......

    1. PRAISE BHARAT MATA FOR ITS INDIGENOUS GLORY FOR GOD SAKE.
    2. EXPOSE THE GENOCIDE OF THE WHITE INVADERS.
    3. EXPOSE THE GENOCIDE OF THE MUSLIM INVADERS ON HINDUS.
    4. EXPOSE THE ETHNIC CLEANSING AND DEMOLISHING OF HINDUS AND HINDU TEMPLES IN KASHMIR, PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH.
    5. EXPOSE THE FOREIGN FUNDED NGOs WHO ARE DESTABLISING THE INDIAN SOCIETY AS WHOLE.

    Do not give an inch when some one criticizes India. You might not be invited again to speak on topics but our respect towards you would increase exponentially. Thanks

    Hi Sir,

    Please decide whether to speak truth about greatness of india and how Kashmiri pandits are driven away or just play to gallery like many other speakers before you to get limelight in TV channels and probably a new Post like head of Human Rights.

    Thanks,
    Srinu.

    प्रणाम सर ,

    काटजू साहब हम हिन्दुओं ने बहुत सहा है , हम में बर्दाश करने की क्षमता है , इसका मतलब यह नहीं की कोई भी हमें गाली देकर चला जाए | हमने हर उस को भारत में शरण दी जो मुसीबत में था | बदले में हमें गाली और बैज्ज़ती ही नस्सेब हुई है |

    Respected Katju Sir,

    Just as we were all praise for you when you exposed Gandhi, give us another chance to praise you by exposing genocide on Indians by Mughal and White invaders.

    Please speak about

    genocide of Kashimiri Hindus by Pakistan,
    genocide and rape of Bangladeshis by the majority Muslims in that country, genocide of Pakistani Hindus in that country,

    and the unquantified holocaust of Hindus in the last 1000 years which does not get the press it deserves.

    Katjuji pranam,

    We wish you all the best for your speech tomorrow at the University of California on "Future of India". We would have been very glad if you had shared the gist of your speech with your readers too.

    We hope you will have freedom to add a few extra points extempore in your speech. If you are not permitted to speak "out of the box", you can at least try to include following points in post-lecture discussion/QA session.

    Please tell the uncle sams there that they should not be excessively worried about religious tolerance in India and should refrain from sending any US congress commission to India to inquire into the same. India is the safest place on this planet for deshpremi minorities. Don't forget to express your concern about growing racial intolerance in US instead.

    Please tell them to stop invading our agriculture with their GM crops. We are happy with what our farmers produce here traditionally. Ask them not to damage our crops by HAARP or pollute our minds with the bullshit of climate change.

    Please tell the bleached ones there to stop meddling in any of our internal affairs (LGBT/NGO/CBFC/MSM freedom/funding). We are capable and intelligent enough to solve our own problems.

    Please ask them to stop manipulating the UN, WTO, WHO and other international forums to suit their own agenda. If they start a WW3 at this time, they will be at the risk of losing their superpower status forever, and the BRICS will take over. They will be shamed and dragged to the international court of BRICS post WW3 and the culprits will be hanged with a fanfare in Siberia.

    As a sovereign nation, we don't require US help in getting matrimonial offers from our neighbor nations. We have enough gray matter to understand these relations.

    IMF, WB, and EU are now talking about India being a "bright spot" in otherwise gloomy world economy. The 21st century and all the centuries hereafter are going to witness a truly vibrant India.

    At this stage and stature, fame and money are certainly not going to affect your career or image. Expression of some patriotism will easily go well with jet lag, your age and your track record of being a free thinker.

    We wish you turn this event into a "Chicago moment" (like Swami Vivekananda).

    Sir, you can choose to speak better of India this time, without trying to appease any one (religious) community.
    Its important that you mention the vested propaganda by West (by US and UK) in India promoting cultural teorrorism to secure their slimy deals, though their NGOs and backed media outlets like TOI, NDTV, etc.
    You can choose to not ignore the elephant in the room this time.

    Dear Katju Saab,

    Great to know that you will be addressing the folks Institute of South Asia Studies at UC Berkeley. Please do not forget to highlight the Spirituality of Hinduism, the tolerance shown by Hindus to various races seeking protection from prosecution, such as Jews, Pharisees, etc.
    Also, highlight that the false flag attacks which show Hinduism in bad light are bound failure. I am particularly worried about the Studies done by Haas School of Business at UC Berkely, titled "Armed Conflict Resolution and People’s Rights" which has Teesta Setalvad, Harsh Mander, etc as members highlighting possible future communal clashes when BJP comes to power.

    Sir,
    why don't you ask them why so many Westerners are choosing to cremate themselves, as stated in their wills? Their religion advocates burial.

    Justice Katjuji pranam:

    Turn your topic into "The Future Is India" or "The Future of USA". It will be funny to watch the faces of the organizers.

    The future of India won't be decided by the USA, and it is high time for them to worry about their own future.

    Mr. Katju,

    Please unravel the glory of ancient India. We NOW know and are glad to know that you would not include Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Tagore.......the whole lot.....

    Cite Chanakya, Upanishads, Vedas.............These people want you to portray Bharatmata as wretched and poor.....

    Please have one section dedicated to the plight of Kashmiri pandits, how ancient Indian temples have been ruined for centuries in Pak, Afganistan, Bangladesh...

    Please have a section how India is the most secular country than any other in the planet....I used to get Hindu, Christmas and Muslim holidays every year......Recently in NY the school district accepted Ed Ulfitr and Eid Adhaa as holidays but not Diwali........remind them this decision making policy....


    Remind them how they come to sell free internet and 100% FDI and GM foods.....so that West can live happily........

    Remind them the contribution of Indians in US........it is the most progressive communities in the US (economically and culturally) and that too on its own steam...

    I hope you do justice to the speech (pun intended)

    Thank you for reading

    Saurin
