Jayant, Do you have any recommendations on an Asian perspective on the freedom FROM religion as it pertains to Goa?
There is a SecularGoa Yahoogroup which is concerned with interference of politics into religion and vice versa but I was wondering if any of the encouragingly successful humanist/atheist Indian organizations had made any head way into the Konkan region. http://www.positiveatheism.org/tocindia.htm#SOUVENIR http://hinduwebsite.com/history/athiesm.htm ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2006 01:07:06 -0400 From: Jayant Vaidya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Re: *** Goanet Reader: Wanted: an Asian perspective on the freedom of religion (Eduardo Faleiro) On this matter- I would highly recommend Amartya Sen's book "The Argumentative Indian" that gives an excellent account of how India is steeped in a tradition of tolerence and heterodoxy (as opposed to orthodoxy).
