The muslims do not seem to agree with your assessment. Nor do the Mormons who were driven out of other states and had to seek refuge in Utah. Until today the most eligible candidate for the presidency in USA can only be a WASP. Oh really, now you are talking about realism? When you want you will talk about freedom of choice, when you want you will talk about realism. All according to your convenience. While you will deny freedom to choose their destiny to Hindus and impose secularism on them and deny their reality and impose Muslims rights over their rights. Also dare to declare the secularism of all other countries when reality is otherwise.
I have maintained India is a traditional country. When I warned Dray that one day people will say enough is enough it was on that basis that Indians are deeply a people of faith. The losing faith happens in those educated and brainwashed by the secularist and of course the govt has tried damn hard to do that too. Only it has been as incompetent in achieving this nefarious goal as in everything else.
Yeah they can build a statue of Buddha and still be secular while India cannot build a temple and be secular right?
LOL. The geopolitics reality that there are Christian countries who wont agree to the muslims demand is the only reason the resolution failed. That you do not see this as a religious slug fest is a remarkable indication of your political naivety.
No I am not agreeing with you on Pope. That Pope is receiving so much coverage for rehashing old failed models and garbage says the church and the media and the govts want Christianity back.
Schools run by Hindu organizations are taxed and Christian organizations are given tax exemption. Likewise the Madrassa which are given state subsidies. Which is why Ramakrishna Mission tried to declare itself a minority institution. It was to escape taxation.
Yes it is wrong to try to attempt to steal private monies for what should necessarily be state function. People donate money to the temples after they have paid their taxes and did their obligation by the society. That is their private funds not some state fund. The state also has a 2% educational cess. When it is not able to utilize those funds, you start eyeing the temple gold. Why did you not ask the Christian organizations to sell their land and fund education free for all Indians. Why are the Christian schools the most expensive ones. What will the Christian organizations do with so much land? So when you eye temple gold for public expense you do not see any wrong just like you do not see any wrong in 2% population holding the most land in India. Now tell me what was not garbage about your thinking.
Sorry. That is not true. Sarvarkar may have been an Atheist but Hindutva itself is not atheism. It does not hold brief on religions but it heavily promotes Hinduism or at least theism. Their prayers and deification of Bharat Mata should put any doubt to rest.
What? Where did I say country should not get educated? Where do you draw these weird conclusions from? I just said getting a country with a population of 5-10 million with extensive resources educated is not that much of a challenge compared to India with its billion plus people. So comparison with Scandinavia was invalid and false.
Indians are educating and getting more and more educated. Apart from the WB region, in all other states educated people are tending to get more religious. This is the nature of Hinduism. Example the ISRO chief who goes to Tirupathi before every rocket launch.
Freedom of choice is guaranteed by constitution,ur saying he should deny it to indian citizens.How are we denying hindus freedom to choose their destiny?I'm not imposing any rights over them,hindu leaders are doing that for vote bank politics.Don't blame secular persons for the actions of our corrupt leaders which are not controlled by us but by their greed for power .I am as much against reservations as anyone.
What realism?I asked u a simple question and ur going from here to there.Do u want to start mass riots by demolishing mosques en masse because we had a bad history with islam?Its a simple question.
I don't dare to declare secularism of any countries,they themselves have declared it.U are the one who's 'daring' to revision these concrete facts.Just go to the europe ,china world affairs boards and ask the members themsleves if they believe their country is secular or with a state religion.U'll have ur answer.
Faith that stifles progress is a useless hindrance.Move with time or stay back and die.Ur opposition to education is criminal and shows just how medieval and outdated u and ur ilk are.You are nobody to warn anyone.Stay and live life acc to your own principles and don't bother others,try and impose ur views on everyone and u'll get backlash and be smacked back to ur mud huts.
No one is stopping anyone from building a temple,nor is there a shortage of temples,nor am i against it.Don't try to divert the issue.
Akhilesh inaugurates project to build tallest temple in world - The Times of India
And the govt is building temples,only some blind fanatics like u ignore it.
Reality is that resolution was a direct violation of freedom of speech article that is inherent in all western countries constitutions and thus were rejected.
Christianity isn't gone,its still the largest religion in the world and growing in china and africa.Its stale in america and europe.Look at you taking potshots at christianity which admittedly is far from perfect at post after post,and when someone
points out the glaring flawed practices in hinduism(idol worship,animal worship,caste) u hurry to its defense blindly.
Yes i agree,this is discrimination and should be immediately removed.There should be no discrimination between any faiths in a secular country.Thus u can attack the current version of secularism in practice with its vote bank politics,but not the concept of it which protects human choice and values.
I'm not eying temple gold at all.I made a comment that that gold would have been employed far better in development of children than sitting in a vault.If there was a god,he too would have liked it that way.And there is nothing wrong with that,it was not a demand as i have no right to make one..just a statement based on reason.I don't like any religious institutions holding much land,so if ur assertion on christian organizations is true then i concur with u on this point.
Good if ur not against education,then i've no issue with u being religious either.But the post before that u blamed educated people.My problem would be if u prioritized religion over education. Let ISRO chief go wherever he wants,as long as he does his job with competence.His personal beliefs are his private matter.
More cr@p .....
The second verse,
tri yac chata mahiṣaṇam agho mas tri saramsi maghava somyapaḥ, karam na visve ahvanta deva bharam indraya yad ahim jaghana
it simple translation will be ,
Three hundred great scholars from the 3 mighty rivers come together to offer their faith to the lord of all the rivers and not only to glorify the one who fills the cosmos, the divine indra who can strike like a serpent.
Sadly for your "somyapaḥ" is not Soma
............. its somya apah ..i.e. Calm Lord
Again ur making ur own translations as usual.Somya means soma loving.Apah means water or god of water (which might refer to indra,god of rain)
