[Reader-list] Fw: Baba Ramdev claims Yoga has a cure...

[Rakesh Iyer]

Since people have raised the question of homosexuality not being natural, I
would also like to know what is this 'natural'. In their evolution, human
beings must have killed animals, and now continue to do so (though mostly in
the name of poaching). Is that natural, or not?

Women would have not been subjected to marriage in very early history of
existence of human beings, but now they do marry. Is that natural?

There must have been a time when it must have been decided that women have
to stay in 'purdah' by someone. At that moment of time, would that have been
natural?

The biggest problem is that one can't be sure whether something is natural
or not. What is only natural, is change. Change has to take place with time,
and changes do occur. And as for homosexuality being natural or not, if the
scriptures of the 'Hindu religion' have content on it and these scriptures
are quite old, then obviously by your definition, they can't be considered
'natural'.

The correct statement should be that homosexuals are in a minority in India,
and it's not the mainstream practiced custom in India. That is certainly
true as of now.
