Lets us transform the society into one that believes in love and harmony, I know, its not easy, but that is the only way to achieve a happy nation. If you see, there is some mistrust between many religions in India, let us promote common values in all religions as one common ground that can be shared and practised by all of us. to answer your question, are u a hindu or a secularist ? I would answer 'neither' . I sometimes felt that vote-bank politics was being practised, dividing the people on the basis of religion, caste etc.. The solution would be promote Oneness - Humanity Without Barriers. I am not advocating dormant pacificism - but a gradual progression towards 'Humanity Without Barriers' Kiran == 2 of 3 == Date: Sun, Jan 22 2006 8:22 pm From: "panda" I am a Hndu secularistic atheist. Why? By default or by birth I am a Hindu Brahmin. Most of the relatives, friends and neighbours are Hindus. The festivals and other gatherings(socio-cultural events) are basically having religious tones(in good sense). So all these has given me an identity. Why I am secular? ( not the pseudo-one) because I do not think religion is not that much required as far as governance is concerned. Religion is required for the common mass for spirituality and setting the parameters of principles. Secularism actually means to denounce the institutions. It was a very old theory existing in India. Like CHARWAKS. And a Hindu may be truely secular. Our school of thought is very rich and open minded and ready to experiment. Now why atheist? It is also there in our philosophy. A 'bhakta' gets 'mukti' in 12 lives but a 'shatru' of Bhagawan gets it in 3 lives. Why? Because it's again really difficult to be an atheist and as man is very weak. I am attached to Ramakrishna mission and have faith on Shree Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. They were mortals with flesh and blood. Yes as they believed in God, I have to think very cautiously and may not throw the vanishing act. We are here to work and perform our 'Karma' and 'Dharma which does not mean religion but 'duty'. It is much more above religion. We have to be proud with our culture and heritage. We have to regularly treat and filter our water (life) regularly as dirt always sets in. And 'Vidya dadati vinayam'. True knowledge makes one sober.

I really don't wonder if tomorrow government comes with muslim reservation in education and jobs, since they are as bad as any other backward section in India, though people deny reservations based on caste lines. Instead of mud slinging, we should be better souls if we can call ourselves nationalistic and work together for the betterment of nation. as far as your fifth point considered, it takes centuries for muslims population to overtake hindu population with muslims still being about 18% of total indian population. ============================================================================== TOPIC: The auctioning of India http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/8fab64179b93adc9 ============================================================================== == 1 of 1 == Date: Mon, Jan 23 2006 5:44 am From: "harsha" saswant, Just like one inherit his father's business, politicians like their children to inherit their legacy whether they fit or not for the job. There could be better people who can manage inherited business than you could, but as at one time you are telling, where is the chance? This is not limited to congress alone, probably to any politician irrespective of party line. Believe it or not, being politician is the most competent and toughest job in India. One has to rise to stand such competition. If some inherit it and is incomepetent, he will feather out eventually just like if he is an incompetent businessman. No charisma works. ============================================================================== TOPIC: ever imagined? http://groups.google.com/group/BM_discussion/browse_thread/thread/5cfcb52826e572f2 ============================================================================== == 1 of 2 == Date: Mon, Jan 23 2006 5:16 pm From: Harsha What if axis powers had won world war 2? any guess.
