D,
It seems you are not a Hindu. If you are to qualify to be a secular, just stick to your religion and do not meddle in our Sanatana Dharma.
If you are doing a scientific study it is ok, if you are doing an objective journalistic analysis that is ok, if you are an inquisitive visitor, you are most welcome. As a well meaning critic, we will accept you with open heart.
But, and this is a big but(!) if you seek to convert or malign our religion, the consequences is that this is not covered by free speech under Constitution but liable for punishment. If others take law into their own hands, as even CM Modi seems to have done, our stretched Constitution may not be able to cope with to safeguard your other fundamental rights.
Suggest, stick to secularism of the Indian kind, genuine kind, not the Ramanian sickular!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hindu parents covertly brainwash their children to coerce or manipulate other kids as per caste hierarchies.........I have been seeing the same message posted by various persons and wonder from where they have copied the same.
My parents had not told anything like that to me nor do I tell anything like that to my children. Is this the mentality of those who are posting such comments or have their parents told them to do like that??????????

my dear friend cast system was based on functions performed bby people and not by birth. the practise later seeped in. all the kids irrespective of the caste were given the sacred thread 'janeu' after performing the yagnopavitam rights which instilled the fervour to serve the society in best possible manner. also one is called brahman who worships brahm; and brahm is given parlance of knowledge and in more social terms the grain. Those who are saadhak i.e. those who strive for the brahm(grains and knowledge) are called brahman. Moreover caste system was never divisive. nowhere in any of the scriptures it is written that people of a particular community can't enter a temple or perform certain rituals.In ancient india temples were the seat of learning as well. in the temples there were held schools which were the source/ center of genesis of grammar. arithmetic, astrology, political science and economics. and mind you india is land where maximum number of languages have taken shape- hindi and urdu being the latest add ons. Moreover for your kind information there is no such word as hindu in any of indian scriptures like ramayan, mahabharat or vedas. the term was given by persian civilisation to people living east of hindukhush mountains as people of indian civiliozation used to call them sumerians.Hinduism was always a pattern of living and continues to be so. It's not the religion or the lords who are good or bad but the followers.
I wish Mr. Raman had written this article eons ago. Yes Mr. Modi has brought back the pride in being a Hindu rather than cowering to the brute force of Islam or the lure of the lucre of Xtianity. Hinduism is probably the world's oldest surving faith which has withstood the severe trials of brute force. It should not be apologetic to say one is a Hindu- it should be a matter of pride to say so, because it implies the strength of haracter of ones forefathers some of which must have passed on to the present generation, because those worthy ancestors were able to resist the brute force of the state power in medieval Islamic India and stick to their own believes rather than convert just to save heir lives. No wonder Hindus today excel in more fields than do the converts (of their are notable exceptions). It would be better that all present generation specially Muslim and Christian Indians realise that most if not all of their ancestors were forced to convert to a religion either by threat of death or by dangling the carrot of prosperity and now they themselves are in a position to right those monumental wrongs done to their forefathers. If they have an iota of self respect and some mettle in the genes that have been passed on to them over generations, thay will know what to do.
Rediff is the only media covered the Gujarat election very accurately. Their article on election day (16 th Dec.) regarding "Undercurrent favours modi" is the accurate prediction about Gujarat election. All other media NDTV, CNN-IBN--- are completely biased.
Rediff really understood the pulse of the Gujarat people.
%u201CThey are secular in the genuine sense of the word, but for them secularism does not mean developing a guilt complex about being a Hindu and all the time conceding the rights of others.%u201D --- B Raman
This kind of thinking is not even a communal mind, rather a sick mind. Who is compelling Raman to develop guilt complex? Why is seeing ghosts where there are none? In Bharatiya vidya terms it seems he has also fallen victim to mayavee shakti.
The word secular in genuine sense of the word has meant the following. %u2022 separation of the state from religion %u2022 fundamental right to privacy and choice of religion %u2022 respect and acceptance of all religion

separation of state from religion not individual's thoughts from his religion. A hindu unfortunately is made to do the latter by mostly who else but other hindus(the 'secular' lot)
Secularism was forced on the majority in 1976. Until then were hindus nonsecular? We actually don't need to be called secular. We are by nature through generations. Races came, conquered,converted... did we ever do it back? Don't have to prove any point to anyboddy on the secular identity.
