Perturbed by hackers attempts to spoil various Hindutva related discussion forums on Orkut, the popular social networking website, the supporters of the Sangh Parivar linked communities have decided to prevent such acts by joining hands.
Presently, the alleged hacked communities include Hinduism, Jai Hanuman, Lakshmi Mata, Veda - sanatan dharma and Lord Shiva.
Many other communities also suffered a similar fate. I hope the present efforts will awaken Orkut towards Hindu sensitivities, said Vivek Chudamani, owner of a revived group with 51,626 members.
But the once affected owners or in-charge of these communities have now decided to use identical display picture showcasing Goddess Durga killing demon King Mahishasura. They hope it would help the members to recognize the group.
Also, all the major communities related to RSS, Hindutva, Nationalist leaders and preachers communities have been requested a change in their main profile picture meant for identification.
The pro-Hindutva communities have decided to hold Orkut Hindu Shakti Vijay Saptah (Victory day for Orkuts Hindutva communities) from June 10 to 17.
“Our main objective behind changing the display pictures is to promote discussions in a more organised and coordinated way and indirectly protest Orkut’s handling of Hindu’s feelings. And, also celebrate the incident of our communities reactivation as a victory day every year now onwards for all Hindus on Orkut,” said Vikas, in-charge of the RSS Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh community (31,785 members).
There are presently several Hindutva related communities existing on Orkut which have over 100,000 members linked to them.

NAGPUR: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief KS Sudarshan on Sunday blamed India’s first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, for rejecting Nepal’s proposal of merger into India on the lines of other princely states shortly after Independence.
Sudarshan held Nehru responsible for today’s turmoil in Nepal and Tibet, which, he said, was handed over by him to China, despite being aware of the neighbour’s expansionist tendency.
“It was a mistake on Nehru’s part that he refused a proposal by Nepal’s prime minister Matrikaprasad Koirala for including the Himalayan kingdom in India,” Sudarshan said at the concluding function of the third-year officers’ training course at Reshimbaug grounds.
Elucidating that national interest was being sacrificed for personal or selfish interests, Sudarshan said China’s excesses in Tibet were the fallout of Nehru’s folly. “Nehru had no propriety to hand over Tibet to China, which is now staking its claim on Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim,” he said.
Sudarshan targetted Communists for bullying UPA government to side with China. He said India’s communists wagged their tails before China while belittling their own country. “They take credit for the good things and blame UPA government for the bad things,” he said. “Even as oil prices and inflation are rising, they are pretending to be opposed to it; if they are so, they
should withdraw support.”
Sudarshan criticised the Centre for following the western economic model and rejecting India’s cultural and traditional wisdom.
“This is because the people of this country cannot decide what is good for them,” he said.
Taking a leaf from the chief guest, the shankaracharya of Ramchandrapura Math of Karnataka, Shri Raghaveshwar Bharati, who said cow slaughter was a reason for farmers still committing suicides in Vidarbha and elsewhere, Sudarshan appealed to the prime minister to introduce anti-cow slaughter bill in Parliament and get it passed with Congress and BJP support. This, he
said, was an example of selfish political interests overriding national interests. “Stopping cow slaughter was important to the propagation of organic and natural farming, which, in turn, would stop farmers’ suicides" he said.
