Response to "If you take away RAMA and Hinuism from india all that left will be ashes"

dear ashok,
Shut your mouth and stop suporting the stupid statement the congress government is making.All congress leaders are licking sonias feet ,just because they want to be in power.If you are a real hindu protest it ,I dont mean you to support BJP or RSS but atleast save your individuality.If you take away RAMA and Hinuism from india all that left will be ashes

Above are the amusing comments left by some anonymous reader to my previous post about Ram and my support to UPA for issuing such statement. I am a Hindu by birth but I am not very proud to be called one, because the purpose any religion is to unite people and make their lives more enjoyable. I bet Hinduism was doing the same and is intended to do the same now, but we divided our religion into multiple casts and even barred some of the casts from entering temples. I reckon for any religion temple is a place to show your unity and show your goodness to the world, there every one should be equal which is not true in our temples. If any hindu temple is not restricting people based on their cast, they are dividing them based on their financial capacity( The best example is TTD).

Coming to these comments "If you take away RAMA and Hinuism from india all that left will be ashes", I really don't know what to say about these comments, because the comment itself is a big joke. Let me explain. Even considering Mr. Ram existed and he was a good king, what have we learned from him except making him a political figure and destroying integrity of this country over his temple. If Mr. Ram was the person, people had described him, he would never accept anything like this to happen in this country, he might have rubbished Ram Sethu issue even he had built it him self. Ultimately the goal of any good king is to give good to people and his country.

I still stick to my opinion about the government's short lived claim. It's bad that they had to eat their words over this issue. I repeat my statement that "Hinduism is not a religion, its a way of life". All the hue and cry over Ram Sethu is a political gimmick and its not at all an issue. We have much bigger problems to solve in this country like education and child labor. Let me conclude this post by saying, "I am hindu and I will be an hindu for my life treating Hinduism as a way of living life".

    You don't believe in Hinduism , fine but don't talk badly about it , Have you read Alex Hele's book "Roots" , do read this book after that you can talk about hindu religion ,also it is not just history part of it , see the environmental implications to it.You have a right to agree/disagree but first read everything about Ram sethu by visiting this link : www.ramsethu.org , do read all the links and sections,after that if you want to disagree you can disagree but i strongly recommend you to read all the links coz half knowledge dangerous.

  3. For your kind information, I have never been ill treated as I belong to the upper cast and I have all the privileges to buy poojas (lol) in temples when ever I had to go with my family. I don't even care if the sethu was built by Ram or not, if you can do something good to this country by cutting that so called sethu, I want it to be done.

    Government is trying to building canal between Indian and Srilanka to reduce the distence need to be traveled by ships. My only concern about this project is environment and sea population. If the environmental damage is real I will also oppose.

    Why are you so emotional? Be practical man.

  4. Government already have six other options. Still it want to destroy the sethu built by Rama. Govt.'s decision hurt the sentiments of hindu folk.

    Child labor can be erased by looting and robbing all corrupt and rich fellows and distributing tht money euqally. Miru aa pani cheyyagalara anDi child labor ni pogoTTaDaaniki. Education can be given to all if all of us educated ppl spare some of our valuable time for few years. inta maatraniki Ramula Vaaru nirminchina bridge ni kulchaala.

    EITHER YOU BELIEVE IN GOD OR YOU DON'T THERE IS NO IN BETWEEN AND THOSE WHO DON'T THEY NEED NOT COME IN BETWEEN THE BELIEVERS OF GOD, THIS GOVT. HAS NO GUTS TO QUESTION THE FAITH OF OTHER RELIGIONS , HAD IT IN IT'S AFFIDAVIT STATED THERE IS NO JESUS OR PROPHET WE CAN IMAGINE FOR YOURSELVES WHAT THE REACTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN?This kind of act was never conducted by any Govt. in any part of the world.By the way , i never voted in my life nor i have any association from any party.I feel sorry for hindus that it's not the people of other religions who are stabbing us ,it's our own who are anything but anti hindu , hindu is a bad word in this country.
    I'm more practical n rational than you , i have friends from all castes n religions , yes , i do admit some of them were ill treated during a particular time period in history ,yes still discrimination exists here n there , but not as you have projected it out tobe , these divisions are not just in our religion alone,,see iraq and iran i would be happy if you are against religion itself(whether hindu..,islam....et al) , ..What i want to say is " IF AT ALL THIS PROJECT IS SO IMPORTANT IT CAN BE BUILT WITHOUT DISTURBING THE RAM SETHU , THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS , BUT THE GOVT. IS HELL BENT TO HURT THE SENTIMENTS OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR COUNTRY, AND IN THIS ATTEMPT IT 'S ALSO NOT CONCERNED ATLEAST ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPURCATIONS" ...THE MOST UNFORTUNATE THING IN OUR COUNTRY IS WE HINDUS BRING DOWN OUR SELVES.. ..without even knowing the details of anything we are always in a hurry to comment first.

  8. That should read as "Alex Haley" and this book is - ROOTS.

    There is a Telugu translation available. By "sahavaasi"(సహవాసి)(?), who recently passed away.

  9. Hello Aruna Madam, please don't talk like a communist why rich people need to be looted if they made their fortune in a right way. Please don't argue that there is no right way make a fortune. Coming to your point on child labor stuff and education, why the political parties are not doing the same, they are ready to unite people and raise funds to organize road blocking and bharnas. why are they not doing the same thing for under privileged child's eduction and destroying the child labor system? because they will not get votes by doing that.

    if India is really a secular country why only income from hindu temples is taken by the Govt(endowment department), why not from dargahs,church,mosques, they don't even dare do it?and we hindhus always talk badly about ourselves.

    "వామపక్ష భావ జాలంతో భ్రష్టు పట్టట" మంటే ఆ పార్టీ లో సభ్యత్వముందని కాదు.., మనం చిన్నప్పటి నుంచి చదివిన చరిత్రంతా వామపక్ష మేధావులుగా చెప్పబడేవారు తయారు చేసిందే..!అంటే నీకు సంబందించిన ప్రతి దాన్నీ నీవు అసహ్యించుకొనేట్లు చేయటం...!

    అవును, మన సమాజం లోనూ అనేక అసమానతలు ఉన్నాయ్..., చెడు ఉంది.., సోమరితనం ఉంది.., ఇవన్నీ ఉన్నాయ్ కాబట్టి నేను వ్యతిరేకిస్తున్నాను ...!? కాదు ..! ఈ సమాజం నాది...దీనిలో ఉన్న చెడు ని తీసేయటానికి నేనేం చేయాలి..? ఇది మనమేసుకో వాల్సిన ప్రశ్న.

    నువ్వు కాని నేను కాని పుట్టినప్పుడు రక్తం తో ఉమ్మనీటితో చాల అసహ్యం గా ఉన్నాం, కాని అమ్మ అసహ్యించుకుని పోలేదు కదా.., శుభ్రం చేసి తన పొత్తిళ్లలో పెట్టుకుంది.

    ఇప్పుడు నువ్వైనా నేనైనా ఎవరైనా చేయాల్సిందిదే..!!

    ఇప్పుడు నీవు లేవనెత్తిన చర్చ కేవలం సేతు కి సంబందించింది కాదు.., విస్తృతంగా చదివి ఆలోచించాల్సిన విషయం..!! గుడ్డిగా ఎవడోఒకడిని అనుసరించెయ్యెద్దు.

  14. Exactly my point, Sethu is just a cause I have taken to reflect how foolish we think and how easily we can get emotional. I bet congress is going loose many votes in next general election because of this issue, irrespective of the progress they have made developing this country(its totally a big and different discussion).

    Hello my dear culture preachers why do you all want to represent this country's culture with something merged in sea or something made of stone. If you don't know the dictionary meaning of culture, it is "The tastes in art and manners that are favored by a social group".

    I think the changes the Govt wants (nuclear deal, this change of the canal) is for benefit for all.

    The political parties need votes and hence trying to prove their loyalty (by pointing out the religion and all)

    I think all of us need to grow up as a country. Just bcoz ppl get their way by violence, dosent justify everyone to be violent.

    BTW, i was under the impression, the only god we had was Sachin Tendulkar :D :D

    I read all the comments so far, with out rationale towards any religion I wanted to make comment on the whole discussion.

    As you mentioned, if cutting down ram seth is good for nation, then I won't oppose the thing done by Govt of India, but at the same time I wanted to ask one question to congress goverment, what is their stand on improving standards of people who are paying taxes, but cutting down Ram seth won't bring properity,instead change the political system,and the judiciary system ( rewrite the whole judiciary) . can congress govt can issues statement like this on Muslims. Mohammad prophet is not born on this land, there is nothing there here which of their religion can they ask muslims to leave the country. I am not against any religion or community but major invasions are caused against Hindus. why the discrimination?

    Ashok one thing i will agree with you whenever there is an issues like these, political parties should think wise and stop all the dramas they are doing on roads, there are people in india who earn roti on daily basis, if you do bandh's or Darna's they are indirectly causing trouble to the people, for them no god come and help them.

    Hindus are the one who are always target for these kind of things, i doubt some day hindus will become minority.

    If we keep quiet on such issues, that is going to happen in few days. But to condemn the govt acts we should move in peaceful way rather than doing hungama. By these activities only political parites are gaining.

    Whether Rama existed or not nobody knows, Religion is a belief, why to break that and hurt people, instead Govt can come up with proper reason for demolishing the Rama Sethu.
