[Reader-list] HARAM

[radhikarajen at vsnl.net]

Aarti,

 if you enjoy the vague comments of Inderji, like the rioters getting upset because of something written about "pandavas" it is upto you. Please read the exchange of our thoughts carefully before jumping to protect Inderji with lots of love.Orissa happened because a 80 year old revered person along with aged persons was shot dead, not because of vague comments. Further Inderji in his glib posts with occassional ghalib quotes gets away with sedition, but being apologists to secularism, we always tolerate. When he says --"what is sacred to you, need not be sacred for him," the secular credentials stand totally exposed. 

 For me, what is sacred for him, may not be sacred, but i will not ridicule that feel of sacredness. That is tolerent human being in me. But he not only prefers to ridicule and Aarti for her love is prepared to chastise others to be tolerent of his posts which at times are games of dividing the citizens on yardstick of caste and faith, support to separatists tinged with ghalib's quoates.?

 So, just to get him a feel of what it means to hurt others of the social ills the two incidents are given, not that in other communities the events of such magbitude do not happen, but priests in our society have no right of fathwas.

   If you like the circumsized cock it is your choice, but it does not give right to you to keep mum when that person ridicules what you consider as good and sacred. Tolerence does not mean that Inder can ridicule everything that is sacred for hindu to please his bosses in power. When he talks of caste discrimination, he seems to overlook the ills in other faiths and communities and faiths, with humans in every community, the faults are there in all the faiths. Let us try to figure out at reforms from our homes first, as charity begins at home, but it does not give any moral high for a person like Inder salim to talk up above from clouds.! It is for this reason, that i gave the incidents for him to reflect on the role of fathwas, let him respond, if he wants a decent debate, but that does not mean we should take his intolerence in our strides.?

Regards.
