Why is the National HSC Scrambling to Change
its Webpages Now?
June
3, 2007: Last week (05/26/07), we
had promised one question every week for the National HSC
to
respond to. In our first question, we
had asked: Why did the National HSC build the Sangh Parivar's
Global Internet infrastructure and why does it continue to maintain
it? As evidence, we had presented material from our
report in the form of an IP Map. Last week's question and the
IP Map are
available at:
http://hsctruthout.stopfundinghate.org/pr.html
http://hsctruthout.stopfundinghate.org/appA.html
We had noted that apart from
sharing contiguous IP addresses, several important Sangh websites,
including those
of the RSS, HSS, VHP, VHP-America and ABVP list
"Hindunet Inc" as the "Admin Organization" and/or
Ajay Shah (the first president of the HSC) as the "Admin
Name". And the copyright notice on Hindunet says: Please
note that entire collection of GHEN websites is copyrighted
1989-1999, Global Hindu Electronic Networks, Hindu Students
Council.
Our question to the National HSC for Week
#2: Why has the National HSC NOW changed the Admin information
for hscnet.org and also
changed the contact page on Hindunet (hindunet.com/contact.htm)?
Does it believe that by changing the admin/contact information
NOW, the chapter
level
membership will fail to see the connections between the National
HSC and the RSS? Why is it continuing on this path of further
deceit and deception?
In the seven weeks since the publication of "Lying Religiously",
the National HSC has undertaken the following changes.
-
Until recently the domain
registration page for the National HSC's website (hscnet.org),
along with several
other Sangh websites
hosted on the Global Hindu Electronic Networks (GHEN/Hindunet),
listed "Hindunet Inc" as the "Admin Organization" and/or "Ajay
Shah" as the "Admin Name.” However, since
the release of our report, the "Admin Name" for
the National HSC's website has been changed to the rather
cryptic "hv",
and the “Admin Organization" has been left blank.
Compare the archived registration page for HSCNET: < WHOIS_hscnet_old.pdf>,
with the current (changed) registration
page for HSCNET: < WHOIS_hscnet_new.pdf>.
Several other Sangh websites hosted on Hindunet/GHEN
-- RSS, HSS, VHP, VHP-America, ABVP etc -- still retain Hindunet
as the "Admin organization" and/or Ajay Shah as
the "Admin name".
In other words, the National HSC is now making
a belated attempt to differentiate HSC from Hindunet/GHEN,
which it has all along claimed as a HSC project. Suddenly,
Hindunet/GHEN has ceased to be a HSC project!
- The cover-up of course would be incomplete if
the National HSC left any traces of HSC on the Hindunet/GHEN
webpages. Hence
they have gone ahead and also cleaned up the Hindunet/GHEN
pages. Below is a comparison between the old Hindunet/GHEN contact
page (which we refer to in our
report) and the new Hindunet/GHEN contact page:

In short, all references to the HSC have been removed
from the new Hindunet/GHEN contact page. Notably, the copyright
paragraph at the bottom of the contact
page has also been cleansed of any reference to the HSC, thereby
suggesting that GHEN is indeed unconnected to the HSC.
Why did the National HSC change its domain registration details
and the contact page on Hindunet/GHEN (hindunet.com/contact.htm)?
The above changes are meant to place all responsibility for
the Sangh's electronic infrastructure on Ajay Shah (the first
President of the HSC)/Hindunet/GHEN and create a chimera that
the HSC is not part of the Sangh Parivar. We are not surprised.
The HSC, as our report has shown, has a long tradition of such
cleanups and attempts to wipe out the links while still staying
firmly connected to the Sangh at the hip. This latest move on
the part of the National HSC is nothing more than yet another
attempt to dupe its membership. However, the project is bound
to fail as the HSC has left a long and unending set of footprints
that keep leading it back to the Sangh Parivar.
The National HSC's latest cover-up attempt vindicates our claim
that its ability to advance the Sangh Parivar agenda is rooted
in deception.
