The psychological explanation for this type of paranoia came from you in the first place: I quote: On Wednesday 18 Jul 2007 2:57 pm, ashok _ wrote: > ==Criticism is usually felt as a personal attack or insult, an > attempt to humiliate them.

By all means criticize the RSS, but unfortunately for the RSS's critics the RSS are perfectly right in pointing out the huge footprint of Hinduism. They tend to sing its praises - but I am trying to point out that the "unifying spirit" of Hinduism extends to the social ills and denial that Hindus are responsible for those social ills all over India. Indians all over India are united in screwing some lower stratum while they doggedly assert that the same thing occurs everywhere and is not a Hindu problem (EXACTLY as you have asserted above). Oh but it IS a Hindu problem. Do you mean to say the social ills in India are not a Hindu problem? It is someone else. The RSS perhaps? > > You also make very sweeping assumptions of people and about their > psyche without ever having met them. > > But this is not the first time, since you have written a voluminous > tome on Pakistani society , whether ever having traveled there :) You are of course entitled to your views - but this is a digression from the topic of Hindu irresponsibility and denial to talking about me and my characteristics. Are you trying to change the subject? shiv
