Ram has rationalised the netters’ debate on the Sunil Gangopadhyaya court case. I share his views.
The court case reflects the dilemmas of our society: religious, secular, and extreme views as against scientific approaches to issues that bedevil our society. It may be also viewed as ideological conflicts between East and West.
Even freedom of speech at times is carried to the extreme. I give an example. Not long ago Prince Charles was asked in a Television programme whether he slept with another woman? In normal case, the television presenter would have been slapped but the Prince gave an honest reply. It is often asked why very enlightened people continue to adhere to the mumbo jumbo of the various faiths? They do offer cogent reasons for doing so.
By and large India is a tolerant society coupled with the fact that seeking justice in a court of law is costly business which people in general try to avoid.
Just a minor point regarding human images of god or gods. Some religions hold that God made man in his own image. And these images resemble the men and women of the country where they were made. Right?
As the case is sub judice I refrain
from giving an opinion
