Why are we Hindus so insecure? Insecure over the muslim population rise, insecure about Cathlic conversions. Now we are even insecure about our faith. It makes me really wonder if I ought to abandon such a faith with insecure followers. Anyway, I was never a religious bigot. I was and am a rational logical human being who asks, seeks and questions. The biggest evil is to blindly believe what our ancestors have benn drilling into us. Most of it is drivel. So wake up and ask, question, seek! This is the basis on which great nations made progress.

No one is insecure, but it seems you are! And completely ignorant and ambivalent about your faith! And a excellent candidate for conversion. The very fact that you suggest the possibility of you converting says it all.
Hindus, because they are secure and firm in their faith, are asking for the same respect that other religions aer asking and receiving.
There is enough evidence, through numerous scientific and historical research and studies, to show that jesus the 'son of god' never existed, and that christianity was a complete invention of a Roman empereror to control and rule over the tribes. Should we then not ask for all the churches to be demolished, because they represent a bogus faith and a bogus son of god? Yet the GOI under a christian leader, Sonia Gandhi, will never suggest even remotely for such a thing. But, yet will throw all kinds of insults and insinuations against hinduism adn hindus. This is blatant hypocricy.
And dull-witted, indifferent hindus like yourself are willing partners in this assualt against other devout hindus. You and your kind make a perfect candidate for conversion - if you haven't already converted. I suspect you are already a convert, but parading around as a hindu to make a point.

HI who told you hindus are insecure? Its just that the goverment action is irresponsible. Dont you see how would people of other religions react to an issue like this, if it concerns their religion? there would be marches, bandhs,rallies etc, and they would pressure the goverment to make the minister resign,apologize...
HIndus did not resort to any such thing, reason being we sincerely beleive that such utterences are foolish. for that matter had hindus felt insecure, they would not have allowed (i am not speaking of armed invaders of other religion.Those who came here to live here but practising other religions)
So hindus are the most secure people bcoz they dont convert others, they dont force others to follow others to follow hinduism...
It has total freedom such that being a hindu i dont have to visit temples (i don't for that matter), or for that matter, i can be an atheist (which is still accepted as one of the sects in hinduism) too!... Such a religious freedom exists in hinduism. I dont want to comment on other religions.
So when there are some people in goverment who are hell bent on destroying the bridge, which is precisely to hurt the sentiments, then the reaction to the same, is just what is necessery.

it's not insecurity, It is insulting. C'mmon tell me who is your father? How do you know your father is the man you see? I'm saying he is not your actual father and someone else is.

You got my point better. This is not a platitude but it did hurt you when someone is questioning your belief. Start respecting others belief. Do not question them if you don't want to get questioned.
Eminent astrophysicist J V Narlikar, when contacted in Pune, said he had seen reports claiming about the mythical bridge, but there was no evidence to suggest that what had been located had links with the bridge mentioned in the Ramayana. "There is no archaeological or literary evidence to support this claim," eminent historian R S Sharma told The Times of India in Patna. "The Ramayana itself is not that old. Nor had human habitation occurred 1.75 million years ago," Sharma, an acknowledged authority on ancient Indian history, said. The oldest evidence of the Ramayana is around 400 BC and running across five strata, its shloka multiplying from 6,000 to 24,000, it comes up to 1200 AD. "Even if you want to rely on literary evidence, the oldest literary evidence available is only from 1500 BC." Sharma said that even the location of the bridge and of ancient Lanka had yet to be conclusively established. D N Jha, professor of history at Delhi University, said what had been captured by NASA's cameras was a geological formation. The issue had "more to do with geology than history", since the claim was 1.75 million years old. "To link that with Rama or Ramayana is ridiculous." "Linking just anything found with Ramayana or Mahabharata may be mythology, but it certainly isn't history," said Jha.

Why? He had sleepless nights over terrorist getting caught. He definitely don't have any sleepless night or comments to make for Hyderabad blast victims and he feels right by denying that Ram was born on earth and the complete epic was a truth at a point of time.
Just writing will not help, can we highlight this to a level and contact someone who can file a petition in the court to stop the dregding work of Ram Sethu.
Some media do their job good. But some are ready to show distorted news item. Media must have a policy, otherwise media will also get the image what our political parties like Congress and BJP have today.
Ram Bridge bridges the gap of Congress and BJP. Both Congress and BJP calculated Congress' 150 MPs BJP's 150 MPs = 300 MPs. But people of India understands the formula. Congress and BJP leaders have the same policy, betray their cadres and supporters for George Bush.
Crores of arms deal; alliance to attack on Iran; CPI(M) opposes it. Now Congress partymen speaks as RSS cadre that the Left is anti-national.
Congress and BJP are against every progressive works like to omplement Sachar committee Report, Reservation for Dalits, etc. People defeated BJP government at the 2004 General Elections, because their brutality on farmers, company employees, Muslims, Christians, social activists, Communists, lower casts, artists, media etc.
Govt. n sonia tried to test reaction of Hindus by giving Afidawith saying there is no records for existance Rama n Ramasethu ..but when failed..now playing another drama of withdrawing Afidawith...shame on u Mr. Manmohan sing n chelas of sonia....

Hey Man, What nonsense are you talking about? Have u not seen BD, BJP and VHP goons creating chaos against MF Husain paintings? Well, Muslims do strongly condemn MF Husain for his deeds. His act on the name of "Freedom of Expression" is not tolerated by muslims. ISLAM STRONGLY CONDEMN AND OPPOSE THIS TYPE OF ARTS and so called Freedom of expressions. As per Quranic teachings it is prohibited to Muslims to abuse, degrade or insult the other religions teaching and respected personalities/deities.
Second thing, MUSLIMS ARE no where involved in this issue. Muslims are not asking to prove the existence of RAMA to anyone. Here the Government and the court is involved. So do not link and drag the Muslims unnecessarily in it.

Hi Bombay Boy, No one is dragging muslims here. Only becoz someone said that reactions of hindus to husain's paintings are rude, just wanted to draw a comparison to what would have been his status in that case...
With due respects to islam, You just cant deny the fact that there would have been a definite strong reaction in that case...
