What are we trying to prove by these violent acts? I agree with Sai...just a question to the "BIG MOUTH" politician of SP...if you were so rich to announce 51 crores for the death of a person, why couldnt you help the Tsunami victims in South India...the earthquake victims in Kashmir...the 26/7 victims of Mumbai??? Why??? As a responsible citizen it is better for you to shut your mouth and do something constructive. People have elected you to work and not "SCREAM" on the mikes to gain "CHEAP POPULARITY". If we are responsible and matured citizens of "NON-VIOLENT INDIA" why are we harrassing fellow Indians by this protest? Why can't we have non-violent satyagrah to show our concern? Can we bring back the lives of the people who died in Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan and all over the world over this controversy? Who is responsible for this? Lets get up and realise that we have better way to raise our concerns.
I completely agree with the article in all it says. Including the hullabaloo and the protests over the cartoons. Personally i think it doesnt matter to anyone in the wisdom that we have cultivated in this modern age. Just a small point though was the comparison of the Hindu and Muslim reactions to similar incidents neccessary? If yes then i wish we would have looked a little closer home, where even passing references to religious icons can create riots
Dear Mr.Sai, Appreciate your views and concerns as a whole,sir. Simply hoping for a Redeemer to save the Universe is foolishness,I believe.Educated and experienced men And Wimen (Judiciary experts,scientists,literary masters,prominent social workers,economist,media experts,religious experts etc..)of the world over must put their views very cordially and systamatically on this matter and try to eradicate the petty ignorence of the people the world over and I hope something positive and constructive will emerge. But still, the stupid politicians and Industrial Giants or the Drug/weapon Mafias will jeoparadise any efforts towards this. No wonder, at least we can satisfy our humanitarian thoughts into practice and then let us dream or wait for the real Redeemer to come! hari.
Christianity, Islam and Judaism All sprang out from the same source Harmoniously; only at different ages And traveled far and away only to fall apart Seeking supremacy by men who preached What the religion never proclaimed.
2. Embracing any while you (are born and) live away
Trace back and you would find Language, culture and religion Are bound to the places of their origin Embracing any while you (are born and) live away Makes you an alien in your own place of stay Even when you are in your homeland.
3. Presently abandon peaceful means
Human culture and religion That grew out of violence and Pursued the path of invasion Presently abandon peaceful means Over the pretext of salvation and Defying endeavor to undo stagnation.
A very well-writen article... here are a few six-liners from me to show him my solidarity...
Stage-1
1. Religion is all that but
A devoted fidelity A belief in powers unseen Pursuing holy rites Religion is all that but Never a retreat with blind faith That eludes the path not illumes.
2. Dissent with others and puritans would waste away
Keep in religion at home Inside your own heart Bound only by your own belief Dissent with others and puritans would waste away Inequality causes and concatenates all trouble Religion only a commodious veil.
3. You make a paradox in disgrace
You equate nation with your religion Denying others equal rights Crown your religion with tolerance You make a paradox in disgrace Fear not from others when You have faith in your own.
4. A way of life for its followers
Hinduvta is a culture as ancient as mankind With origin obscured, hailed as a religion Only with others in comparison A way of life for its followers Believing in every other belief That followed embracing its virgin edict.
The author wishes the government to have steel while he displays all signs of being a mudpot. The article is supposed to be about Protests vs. Danish cartoons, and more than 50% material is about something else. He is making sure he won't incur anyone's wrath.
The truth is as clear as daylight. If you are afraid about something, write an article about your fear, not about protests.
