beckham,i already informed u that india is a heavenly place with fertile soil and perfect weather conditions.
such conditions give people the chance to engage in deep introspection.
when u have to constantly hunt for food and the weather is extreme,u r more concerned with saving the life.
this ancient civilisation has lots of things to offer,if u look with awe.
it is also a fact that through the ages,one class trampled upon other classes by using divine sanction.
in such a long history,perversion bty human selfishness is bound to come up.
there were reforms,by buddha and mahavira in bc,
and by others till the modern day reformers like raja ram mohan roy and periyar.
u reveal ur immaturity by ur posts.

So, it is generally accepted that the Vedic Political system using the caste division was a total failure.
So, why do 500 million people still follow the caste system spread by Ram?

Mr. David Beckham, when you look for the truth, can you point out which religion offers total explanations for all of its rituals and miracles?

by on...Christianity has atleast one illogical concept - the birth of Jesus to virgin Mary. Scientifically this is impossible. So you can go back to your Church and believe in Jesus to escape hellfire.....

sure..you are more than welcome to ask anything about Christianity. I would more than be able to help you. It's about time people in india need to know about Christianity. If you have little spare time you should visit a church near you. I'm sure someone will be able to answer your questions.

David Beckham,

Hinduism is about preserving nature and ecology. That why Ganapati Idol is made of clay, pooja is performed for number of days depending upon hosts financial ability and then Idol is immersed it water as it was formed from nature.

Hindus have three phases of life, childhood for pleasure, Adulthood for earning wealth and old age where people used to retire to woods or living on minimum needs.

Your evengalical friends wont understand this as they would leave having fun till they are put grave, will find another partner as soon as previous one is dead or out of fevour and in process create tons of garbage.

You guys are far away from what crist preached.
