Even though the Jewish uproar over naming of a restaurant in a far off part of Mumbai's suburb, has now subsided, after the owner has very magnanimously decided to change the name from 'Hitler's Cross' to "Cross Café; The Times of India, is not willing to call it a day.

It is not clear what the hidden motives or motivations are for Times of India, to put out two stories, one on front page and second on the third page, giving background to 'Hitler' as pet name acquired or given to two Muslims in the city. Both from very common miliue, are surprised why media should be so interested to know, why they are called Hitler, though their official names are properly of all of Islamic origin.

According to TOI story, it may be the 'enemy of my enemy' factor, that had marked the persona of Hitler as the enemy of British, who themselves were enemies of Indians, having enslaved them for over a century.

The popularity of Hitler, as a symbol of resistance to British Raj, in Muslim milieu does show up some deep rooted commitment of Indian Muslims to freedom struggle, that is now coming out into the open and that has been deliberately downplayed by Hindutva elements, who had all the time been collaborators of the British. But that could hardly be the real objective of Times of India, bent on demonising Indian Muslims on one count or other.

On the other hand, TOI may be on to forestalling a wave of exposure of Hindutva's founding fathers' own fascination with Hitler and fascism, which are all a matter of record. That ruse will not hold for long.

A sustained effort in the US, by Human Rights NGOs' in the US, had earlier resulted in refusal of US visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi over Gujarat genocide and had been dogging the steps of other RSS luminaries who wish to travel to hobnob with State Department Officials, possibly to offer a second line of hope, in case Manmohan Singh led government falls on its proximity to the US government and its compromises with India's security by signing on the dotted lines, impacting the nation's sovereignty to be free to use its right to defend itself through nuclear capabilities.

Those who are aware of RSS collaborations with the British in the past, can hardly be surprised on such moves to surrender to US demands, while appearing to confront UPA government in public.
