It wasn't intentional, but I guess it did tell us some things. The Puri incident, as you rightly indicated, would be not be subscribed by most Hindus - and will probably consider it an aberration. Incidents like that, unfortunately show Hindus in bad light whether they are Puri or Polaxbari.
The incident at Puri definitely can't be a reason for Assam to secede from
India. I think they are grasping at straws. Looks like they are fast running out of good reasons, so now anything will do. Bamuns going berserk in Puri or an earthquake in Gujarat...... --Ram
Ramgopal succeded in sending you off on a tangent by taunting you on a subject so dear to you. Lighten up. You said, " *** And I asked WHY NOT? If the kind of Hinduism the custodians of one of its holiest seats are practising, is cited as a reason for Assam to NOT seek independence, then SHOULD Assam ought to buy such reasoning from those who seek continued control over Assam by India?" Did someone say that the kind of Hinduism practised at Puri is what Assam should practise to be part of India? Ramgopal has not. The incident at Puri definitely can't be a reason for Assam to secede from India. That will be no better than what the priests did when a non-Hindu (polluter in the eyes of the priests) entered the temple, in fact it is the same kind of reaction - rejection. Now on the incident at Puri - Change is bound to happen if the educated and liberated Hindus in India stop visiting or donating to the temple. Temples need money to run. Absence of money will cause a quick change in the thought process of the priests and the board of trustees.

You tell us if it is a reasonable argument. Or if such an argument should be given any respectability? _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
