I Love Japan...Everyone Loves Japan... Why ?

Status
Not open for further replies.

Japanese are indeed a very evolved race. Something we Indians sadly lack, in spite of having an equally great, or shall we say even better ethos than any other religion.

Have you ever read in the newspaper that a political leader or a Prime Minister, from an Islamic nation has ever visited Japan?
Have you ever come across in any newspaper that King of Iran or Saudi Arabia has visited Japan?
Japan - a Country that keeps Islam at bay.
Japan has put strict restrictions on Islam and Muslims.
Ponder over the following facts:
a) Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.
b) In Japan permanent residentship is not given to Muslims.
c) There is strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan.
d) In the University of Japan Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.
e) One cannot import ‘Kuran’ published in Arabic language.
f) According to data published by Japanese government, it has given temporary residentship to only 2 lakhs Muslims, but they need to follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their religious ritual in their homes.
g) Japan is the only country in the world having negligible number of embassies of Islamic countries.
h) Japanese people are not attracted to Islam at all.
i) Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.
j) Even today Visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign company.
k) In majority of the companies, it is stated in their laws that no Muslims should apply for the job.
l) Japan government is of an opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist and even in the era of globalization, they are not willing to change their Muslim laws.
m) Muslims can not even think about getting a rented house in Japan.
n) If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim then the whole colony stays alert.
o) No one can start a Islamic or Arabic ‘Madarsa’ in Japan
p) There is no personal law in Japan.
q) If Japanese women marry a Muslim then she is banned.
r) According to Mr. Komico Yagi (Head of Department, Tokyo University) “There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it.”
s) Freelance journalist Mohammd Juber toured many Islamic countries after 9/11 incidence and at that time he even went to Japan. He found out Japanese are confident that extremist can do no harm in Japan.
 
Pakistanis in Japan form the country's third-largest community of immigrants from a Muslim-majority country, trailing only the Indonesian community and Bangladeshi community. As of 2000, official statistics showed 7,498 registered foreigners of Pakistani origin living in the country, with a further estimated 3,414 illegal immigrants.

Only an estimated 200 Pakistanis hold Japanese citizenship. In January 2010.
The late King Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia visited Japan in 1970 and met a number of Japanese Muslim delegates including Muslim delegates from Korea. Then Dr. Abdul Basit Al Sebai, the president of “Muslim Student Association in Japan” seized the opportunity and requested the Saudi monarch to dispatch Dr. Salih Mahdi Al Samarrai, professor at Riyadh University, to Japan to help da’wah work in Japan, and he kindly granted the request in 1973. May Allah reward him abundantly for his services to Islam and Muslims.

Mr. Shankar Narayan, In 10 minutes search of Internet I could find so much error in your information. I know you are a BJP and strong Muslim-hater. Is getting rid of Muslim from Tamil Nadu, or is India or from the world your desire. Because it is not going to happen in your lifetime. It is one thing to aspire good thing to happen to yourself, but it is bad to wish it for 1Billion people.
 
I am not at all a Muslim Hater.Not only me,but no BJP activist is also not a Muslim Hater. But BJP is against Bogus Secularist. All political parties in India are Bogus Secularist. In return they used to call us as against Minorities,which is not Correct.

Karunanithi,Jeyalalitha,Vaiko,even Vijayakanth too used to Expose themselves in Muslim Dressing and Propagate themselves as if they are close to them in order to Capture the Minority Vote. That is what the BJP is hating.

They will never make posters during Ganesh Chadurthi or Saraswathy pooja and follow the same way to Greet Hindus.

That sort of Cheat is hated by BJP.

We are insisting article 370 of IPC to be scrapped,which gives special preferrances to Kashmiri Muslims. If we insist that it doesnt mean that we are against Muslims.But we are insisting to bring Uniform rule in INDIA and give equal rights to every citizen as the Constitution says that all are equal.

There is a Proverb ," Be a Roman when you are in Rome". All Indians are Equal,that is what insisted by BJP.

There must not be any special rights or preferances to any one as the Constitution declares that all are Equal..
 
Japanese have a strong sense of nationhood, respect for traditions and are quite selective in offering citizenship or allowing migrants. When south korea became a near 100% christian country in a span of 40 years, japan has kept christianity and islam away and conversions are discouraged. One thing is certain - japan will not tolerate islamic terrorist activities and will come down with a heavy hand on jihadis.

Islamic threat to disrupt normal life all over the world is real; see what happened recently as a reaction to the film. Five days of riotous protest in chennai and not a word of condemnation from the authority or the non muslim public.

Individual muslims may be good, but as a group, they are bad.

Individual hindus may be good or bad, but they never form a cohesive group.

Muslims know that violence pays; the producer of the controversial movie (us_egyptian cop christian) has been arrested under a different charge; wikileak asange is another case.

Pop singer madonna has promised to rid herself of her bikini brief if muslim obama wins. Of course she has offered explanation fro her statement. Why did she say it in the first place?
 
Mr. Sarang,
We have our differences. We question each others comments all the time. But you are a man of knowledge. You always back up your claim with statistics and references from reputable sources.
I was pointing out Mr. Shankar Narayan's obsession with Muslim-baiting in a Hindu site, with known falsehoods.

I do not have any special affinity for Muslims, or Islam (I know nothing about this religion or its followers). I believe Majority of them are human beings.

So I do not care about madrasas, I am more interested in Madrasis (Tamil).
 
I feel its better not to have total dislike or hatred for anyone.

After all we can not brand every Muslim as bad and every Non Muslim as good.

There is good and bad in every person,every race ,every caste and every religion.

If you ask me why I love Japan my answer would be becos they are disciplined and have unity and are really hard working.

BTW I like Japan lots cos of Japanese Cartoons/Animations are nice like Ultraman, Godzilla,Transformers(was originally a Japanese Animation) and also I used to like Dinosaucers(about Dinosaurs from space).

BTW the first pic is Ultraman and second pic is Dinosaucers.

Becos unity is lacking most of the while.

Each only thinks of their own community where else Non Hindus have the brotherhood feeling.
 
Not correct. hindus are tolerant. Even krishna could not unite yadhavas to fight. Muslims and christians want to convert the whole world to their faiths. Any amount of cover up or white washing is counter productive.

I do not know what cohesion you are talking about.
As Indians we have created a very cohesive community in towns across USA.
We celebrate all religious festivals in Hindu Temple here. Even among us the Andhra group is more cohesive and are able to get their group in the administration. The Tamil group is the most fractured.
In majority of the world the dominent religious group is not cohesive. Divisions are visible when you are inside the group.

First Fracture : Brahmin v/s Non Brahmin division
Second Fracture : In Brahmins : Traditional V/s Non Traditional Division .
Third Fracture : In Traditional : Iyers V/s Iyengars

True!!!!

Hindus neither have any agenda to convert others to their faith nor they like to unite among themselves to plot squashing people of other faith, unless the situation so demands, to defend themselves.

When the country has only the nationals/citizens of one religion and been called/defined as a country of one specific faith AND when the rulership and governance is under absolute discipline with well defined policies, many many a chance of the country to be recognized as well organized, well established, well developing and well synchronized country, heading towards progress and achievements.

Countries like India where people of multiple faith survive with all their rights as sons of the soil, a high level of democracy in disguise, as political agenda of corrupted politicians is playing tricks and leading to loss of national property due riots and looting, ill will among the brotherens of various faith and ultimately generates personal gains for the ruling class, who all are ruling as politicians, with their powers and some of those who all are dwelling high, with the power of their money.

India still could survive purely due to high level of spirituality and some personal level discipline and honesty among her citizens of all faith. Otherwise, the situation would have been as worst as some of the deadliest and ugliest countries of African continent.


In this context, I wold like to refer to you all a Hindi Movie - "Yeh Mera India". That means - "This is my India". I know it is just a movie and the producer and director can cook up anything to show something to the public, to captivate the emotions of the public and make the movie a hit.

BUT, let me tell that, the opinions of mine that I have shared above is purely mine with what ever I could observe and discuss with fellow people of various faiths in India, in my social circle, much before I happened to watch this movie, couple of months before. As far as I am concerned, I agree largely with what been showed in this movie.

The movie is not about any specif group of people belonging to specific faith. The movie is all about INDIANS, in India, where each Aam Aadmi irrespective of the faith system he/she belongs to, live their life to the best they could manage with their surroundings.



I would suggest members to watch this movie because I feel the movie would be worth watching. No masaala no punch dialogues. Its all about the day to day affairs of Aam Aadmi who all live with lots of every day challenges and still continues to carry some love, compassion, sympathy and consciousness in their heart.


Find below a short video clip of the movie with Tittle Dialogue that gives an idea about the theme of the movie. I searched for the video with English Subtitle for the benefit of all the members here who can not understand Hindi and I am happy to find one. May be after watching/listening to this short video some members would like to watch the whole movie. I assure such interested people that, they would not repent spending their time, watching this movie.

Frankly speaking I feel Indians( as in PIO) seldom see themselves coming under the same Hindu Umbrella.
The caste division comes first.

Indians who are Christian or Muslims too in normal situations also still practice caste divisions but at times of adversity as in when they feel their religion is under threat they will set aside their differences and unite under one umbrella.

This is what Hindus lack..each will be thinking "why should I help the caste which is not mine..
My style of praying is different from his... he does not follow culture and tradition like what it should be like...he is different as me as night and day" but later go one singing Chidananda Roopah Shivoham Shivoham and claim to have Sama Darshinah.

It's times we Hindus stop praising ourselves and actually start to realize God and Humanity.

Dear Sarang,

I totally disagree with this statement.
There is nothing impossible for God...it looks impossible becos we are humanizing God.

I am sure we are quite aware there is something called Leela of God.
Krishna is Maya Manusha Vesha Leeladhara..His actions might appear human like but never a time He is not able to carry out what is destined.

Isn't there a verse in Geeta where Lord Krishna shows Arjuna in the battlefield the outcome of the war where all the Kauravas are entering the mouth of destruction?
That itself shows that God is in control of everything and the outcome.

We should never forget that God is the Sutra Dara(Director /Screenplay) for entire Humanity.

Nothing is possible without God and with God nothing is impossible.


11.26-27
amīcatvāḿdhṛtarāṣṭrasyaputrāḥ
sarve sahaivāvani-pāla-sańghaiḥ
bhīṣmo
droṇaḥsūta-putras tathāsau
sahāsmadīyair
apiyodha-mukhyaiḥ
vaktrāṇite tvaramāṇā viśanti
daḿṣṭrā-karālānibhayānakāni
kecid vilagnā daśanāntareṣu
sandṛśyante cūrṇitair uttamāńgaiḥ


TRANSLATION

All the sons of
Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with their allied kings, and Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa — and our chief soldiers also — are rushing into Your fearful mouths. And some I see trapped with heads smashed between Your teeth.


PURPORT

In a previous verse the Lord promised to show
Arjuna things he would be very interested in seeing. Now Arjuna sees that the leaders of the opposite party (Bhīṣma, Droṇa, Karṇa and all the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra) and their soldiers and Arjuna's own soldiers are all being annihilated. This is an indication that after the death of nearly all the persons assembled at Kurukṣetra, Arjuna will emerge victorious. It is also mentioned here that Bhīṣma, who is supposed to be unconquerable, will also be smashed. So also Karṇa. Not only will the great warriors of the other party like Bhīṣma be smashed, but some of the great warriors of Arjuna's side also.

Dear Renuka,

Allways there exists multiple perspectives, looking at the issue in hand.

Tomorrow if a person find his/her family member in trouble, he/she will first look at them and do all the best needed to protect them. Only then he/she will be mentally capable to go out and help others

A patriotic who is highly religious and has the sense of Humanity, considering this whole world as his/her family and expressing love and care to all in this world, would first attend to the needs of his/her country, demanding his contribution towards protection of the country and maintainig solidarity among the citizens. Unless he/she could fulfill his/her duties as a truly patriotic person, he can't be expected to ignore his/her country and care for other countries (because there also only Human exists), unmindful of what the country needs from him/her, at the need of the hours.


The sincerety, love, care and responsibility starts from one's home. A person being a God Father to outsiders and a mischievous and cruel person at home or vice versa, can not prove him/her to be a Holy person.


What I mean to say is, though there is a need to realize god and humanity in general, realizing the values, speiciality, greatness of one's home country is neither irrelevant nor would mean any narrow mindedness. Nor would mean devalueing and degrading other countries.


When people of other faith praise their belief system, there is nothing wrong in we Hindus praising our faith and our Mother India. All that makes differences negatively is, when you start taunting and degrading other people's faith in the pretext of glorifying your faith.


For PIO's, IMHO, it can be a very pathatic situation. Because, there can be some PIO's who could Neither find themselves as the true citizens of the country they were born into, living and settled ( I mean emotionally), having been identified as specific race people with roots from outside Nor could find one self as some one having great affliation and emotional attachment with Mother India. It would be a some what peculiar feelings without any intense attachement towards Mother India.


Let us all as Hindus be proud of our Religious philosophies, spiritual concepts and amicable and peace loving attitude with all humans around us, Without putting down people of other faiths.

Nope you are wrong....the PIO who have some adjustment disorders to any new found land might be those who are working abroad for the first time in their life or some newly migrated person.

Most of us are well settled cos we are citizens.

Political differences will be there in any country just like how some Brahmins in TN feel unhappy in their own land of birth.

But overall life is good here and I am not complaining.

I think you could be speaking about your own feeling cos you are basically Indian who is working in a different country so you miss home a lot I guess.

For me this is my home...Home sweet Home.

I like India cos God walked that land many times.

So I love India cos of God and for no other reason.
 
Ok friends the debate on who is a True Indian and what being an Indian means can be debated endlessly .
Here is a piece from Osho from the Book - India My Love and he describes what India is in a different flavor .
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Geneva,Monaco]India My Love - by Osho
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Geneva,Monaco]India is not a piece of land or some political entity or a part of some historical facts. It is not a mad race for money, power, position and prestige. India is a longing, a thirst to attain truth - the truth that resides in every heartbeat of ours, the truth that is lying asleep under the layer of our consciousness, the truth that is ours but yet forgotten. Its remembrance, its reclamation, is India.

The days of the Upanishads in this land were the most glorious. The only search, the only seeking, the only longing, was to know oneself - no other ambition ruled mankind. Riches, success, power, everything was absolutely mundane. Those who were ambitious, those who were running after riches, those who wanted to be powerful were considered to be psychologically sick. And those who were really healthy psychologically, spiritually healthy, their only search was to know oneself and to be oneself and to declare to the whole universe the innermost secret. That secret is contained in this statement, ''Aham Brahmasmi''.

The lotus flower has been very symbolic to the East, because the East says you should live in the world but remain untouched by it. You should remain in the world, but the world should not remain in you. You should pass through the world without carrying any impression, any impact, any scratch. If by the time of death you can say that your consciousness is as pure, as innocent as you have brought with you at birth, you have lived a religious life, a spiritual life.

The lotus flower grows from the mud in the water, and yet remains untouched. And it is a symbol of transformation.

The East has so many secret keys, but even a single key is enough because a single key can open thousands and thousands of locks. The relationship between master and disciple is one such key.

renukaji!

to me i miss dharma purusharta here in singapore very much.

Even though pitru shrarddham can be done here, there is always quantity/quality of those we invite for brahmana bojana is not to satisfaction.

Also only can get Yajur veda vadhyars not Rig Vedha vadhyars.

otherwise a much much better place to live....

Dear sir,

Well..for my family..we keep rituals to barest minimum now cos mind set of my parents are more into spiritualism and not ritualism.

Even Shraddha is not in their list.

So for us its ok here.

You're so right Renu. Very well said! If PIOs condition/situation is considered pathetic then what about the very many TB who feel like outsiders in their own land, own state Tamil Nadu. Thats far more pathetic if you ask me!

Yes Amala..you are right.

In fact sometimes I feel so bad to read what some members write about what they face in their own state Tamil Nadu especially when TBs have contributed so much to TN and all that does not seem appreciated.

I have not lived in Tn, but still have close family there.
Not all Brahmins in TN feel this dejected or hopeless. Yes there are hardship in everyplace, but people are resilient and find there own solutions.
Some how in the TB site people are more sad and hopeless. It night be that this site only attracts, people who have no other outlet for venting their frustration.
