Support reservation, save Hinduism
by Chanakya on Mar 30, 2007 06:39 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

We should support caste-based quotas in every sphere to save Hinduism. That is the only way to stop the mass conversion of poor, lower caste Hindus. We all know the monetary benefits of conversion. In this age of globalization India is getting lot of attention of the international community. The negative side of such attention is that lot of people - we all know who they are - are suddenly discovering that India, with its huge population of poor, socially as well as religiously oppressed people, is a huge opportunity for conversion. What is worse is that such people have solid financial backings too.

It is really insane to think that caste based quotas are going to save Hinduism. When you indirectly talk about the Christian communtiy converting the Hindus, with wat autority of proof do you say this. All information that you get in such regard is fake and untrue and just made up stories to benefit the dirty side of politics. Now lets do a comparision, lot of foreigners are converting to Hiduism, so are their countries setting up reservations to save Christianity or say their majority religion?? Come on people do not be narrow minded. You are actually pushing your self down into the dumps by asking reservation. You make me wonder as to whether you are a person of the modern age or date back to some primitive ages!! you have also mentioned that conversion is happening to the socially as well as 'religiously' opressed people...so you accept that you opress people of your own religion..get to terms with that first!! India is a democratic and secular country..learn to live with it..!!Dont make life a living hell to the others who think normally and otherwise as you!!
