This fighting over symbols is going to take a dark turn. Is Bhagavad Gita the source of everything modern knowledge, and things yet to be discovered? No..but people want spiritual comfort, to get inspired by some myths or stories that they can use to model their personal life and situations....that is all. Looking more into literal meaning is not useful since these were written by men many thousands of years ago...Imagine yourself back then, values are different, environment is different, even basic life is different. So why fight over symbols? Religion has killed more men all over the world than hunger. If we feel others cannot accept our customs why force upon them..let them follow their own. If it is not possible to do so in the same country, make separate countries and concentrate on country's progress without infighting and hating others in society.
