I saw this Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachan movie... In that Amitabh goes like I like to stare down the sun as I'm pissed off at it... Something like that, I don't remember it, but he was in a tiff with the sun basically.

Ah! Movies. Entertainment purposes only.

So who knows what illogical notions people have built around the sun, an inanimate object in the space.
This sun god belief goes as far as the egyptians

Those "illogical notions" are based on the fact that life, as we know it, thrives on this but one planet in the entire Universe because of the Sun (and water and air and soil). Atleast the Ancients were intelligent enough to understand what is real and what is abstract! Get the drift?

Exactly!

So people of other religions in India should not have to do it.

Even people with the same religion don't have to do it ..if they don't want to!! ..ie Free will!!

but you surely don't have to go on a pedestal and ask others not to!!..they have brains of their own, don't they? (another byproduct of free will)

Seeing as how in the Ice Age anything that felt warm was probably worthy of worship, I see it as common sense.

How do you explain Gods of the Seas or Gods of Water? How do you explain Sun worship in the warm clime of the Mediterranean?

Bhopal: As Madhya Pradesh government tries to create a world record on Thursday with thousands of students performing the yogic 'Surya Namaskar' exercise, Muslim leaders have equated it with idol worship and issued a fatwa against it.
Leaders of the minority community have termed the move as un-Islamic and equated it with idol-worship, which is prohibited in Islam.
They also issued a fatwa in this regard on Tuesday which was also ratified by the Shahar Qazi, Sayyed Mushtaq Ali Nadvi.

The school education department has made elaborate arrangements to ensure maximum participation in the Surya Namaskar exercise so that a world record can be created by registering the feat in the Guinness Book of records, officials said.
Directives have been issued to all the government and government-aided schools to ensure maximum participation in the exercise so that it can become a world record.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has stated that the participation in the exercise is not compulsory.
State School Education Minister, Archana Chitnis said, "Surya Namaskar is a Yogic exercise aimed at improving one's health and those not interested in taking part in it have an option to stay away from it. Sun is neither saffron nor green."
However, Muslim leaders have termed the move as an attempt to saffronise the education system.

If this Yoga is related to some GOD in Hinduism than Muslims should not take part in it even if it is not its better to avoid it because that is taqwa is Islam to leave suspicious things too because they can lead to Kufr

This will require me to do further research to come up with a hypothesis.

Is pork available in Pakistan or any Muslim majority country for non-Muslims? Practice what you preach.
And BTW, if you havent read the post properly, let me repost what I said earlier. Cow slaughter and Cow meat is banned, not the meat of other bovines - also called beef. Comprende'?

Pakistan is not secular country. pakistan is islamic republic . Is India hindu republic ?but yes there is no law in pakistan where non muslim get in prsion because of eating pork. I heard hindu in sind eat pork.

In secular country peoples should be free to eat whatever they want. cow is sacred animal for hindu not for christian and muslim. why they should follow hindu dogma when they are not hindu. Is it hard to understand?
