Hindus need to change
by Srinivas on Feb 08, 2006 07:24 AM

I normally skip through your articles. As most of them seem to a bit on the extreme. But in this article I share your thoughts. All other religious organizations in India also convert people by exhorting that the Hindu gods are demons. I realized after sharing a room from one who has converted recently. I also has an relative who got converted and put the picture of his died father in a trash can saying that they do not believe in respecting died person as the died are equivalent to demon. I think god can be reached in many ways and different religions have given different ways to reach god. If some one says that Hindu gods are not gods then the same goes with other gods too. As most of the religions were born in last 5000 years where as theory of evolution says that humans were started evolving from apes for more than 60,000 years. This has been dealt very balanced by Kenneth C Davis in "Don't know Much about Mythology".

I would be glad to see if you can write an article on reforming the Hinduism. I think castes are a bane for Hinduism. In Bhagavt Gita itself the lord says that a person cannot become a Brahmin by birth, but only by beliefs and practices.
