Wonderful post Dr.Shiv. Dharma is the golden string that binds hindus together. Mahabharata and Ramayana emphasize Dharma and not any god in particular. Thus, Dharma can be regarded as a constitution tailored for the well being of mankind. The gods in Hinduism are merely gaurdians of Dharma. India s...

Says you, but what do they say? In fairness, why should a Muslim or a Christian say they are Hindu, only because they are citizens of India? I say that is unfair requirement to impose of fellow citizens. Isn’t this fear of being imposed used by the minorities to justify their special status in th...

Muslim society too is moving, in its own way. For India, perhaps th best thing would be to get both these societies to move in a direction in which the meet and move in parallel rather than collide. Dr.Shiv, point taken. Yes, it is to India's advantage if Muslim society can co exist and evolve peac...

Nice graphic Dr.Shiv. The ultimate solution, in guess is enacting a uniform civil code for all citizens( with the abolition of polygamy being first). Re-enactment of POTA,TADA etc .

Surely, the question is what one does about all of these problems, and how one goes about dealing with them. Just not sure that focussing on religion is the right way to tackle these problems. Sorry. This is avoidance of a question that has as much reality as poverty or anything else. Everything mu...

Till the communists are wiped out from India, this state of affairs will continue. people have come to know the true colors of commies, especially after Nandigram riots. they will no longer enjoy popular support as they used to, except may be in kerela. anyway, why wasn't ESMA imposed during 1962 w...
