"INDIAN SOLDIERS 'MURDERED'&'BEHEADED' BY PAKISTAN IN KASHMIR"



In the second clash in three days between soldiers from the nuclear-armed rivals, an Indian patrol found Pakistani troops about half a mile inside Indian territory, an army spokesman said.
A firefight broke out and two Indian soldiers were killed. Indian army sources claimed that one of the soldiers was decapitated and his head taken away by retreating Pakistani troops. His body was found "badly mutilated" in a forested area of the Himalayan territory, said Rajesh K. Kalia, a spokesman for the Indian army's Northern Command.

"We can confirm that one of the Indian soldiers was beheaded by the Pakistani army in Kashmir," the spokesman J Dahiya told AFP.

"It was a dastardly act as they have taken away the head," he added.

Military sources had earlier indicated that the soldier had been decapitated but Dahiya said he was only able to confirm the beheading on Wednesday afternoon after the victim's next of kin had been informed.
A spokesman for the Pakistan army denied that its forces launched an "unprovoked" attack and dismissed the claims as Indian propaganda.
Salman Khurshid, India's minister for external affairs, described the incident as "unacceptable, ghastly" and "short-sighted" on the part of Pakistan. He said any response would be "proportionate".
India's ministry of defence issued a statement denouncing the incident as a "provocative act" and said the government would take it up with Pakistan.

The news that Pakistani and Indian soldiers are engaged in what look like escalating tit-for-tat deadly attacks is very bad in itself, but making matters worse is Wali Ur Rehman, a leader of the Pakistani Taliban who in a rare video statement has threatened “to send fighters in Kashmir and wage a struggle for implementation of Sharia rule in India”, as Outlook Indiareports.

Swami vivekanand Speech at World Parliament of Religions 1897

Speech delivered by Swami Vivekananda, September 11, 1897, Chicago. Response to Welcome Sisters and Brothers of America, It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects. My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and ...

Swami vivekanand on hinduism @ chicago, Illinois, 19th September , 1893

On Hinduism Chicago, Illinois 19 September 1893 On Hinduism By Swami Vivekananda Three religions now stand in the world which have come down to us from time prehistoric – Hinduism , Zoroastrianism, and  Judaism . They have all received tremendous shocks, and all of them prove by their survival their internal strength. But while Judaism failed to absorb  Christianity  and was driven out of its place of birth by its all-conquering daughter, and a handful of Parsees is all that remains to tell the tale of their grand religion, sect after sect arose in India and seemed to shake the religion of the Vedas to its very foundations, but like the waters of the sea-shore in a tremendous earthquake it receded only for a while, only to return in an all-absorbing Hood, a thousand times more vigorous, and when the tumult of the rush was over, these sects were all sucked in, absorbed and assimilated into the immense body of the mother faith. From the high spiritual flights ...
