[Reader-list] dehli caste honour killing

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Today it was very interesting article by Gautier in Indian Express of this
day, about the need of the citizens to unite and also the causes of divided
'hindus' as to how they are divided section, region and caste wise and the
need for unity in the society, the role of money in conversion and the
higher rate of conversion in india after the tsunami, it was quite thought
provoking.
He also articulated as to how it is easy to divide the community, the rise
of fanatic islam and christian faiths with funds from abroad in his article,
which the citizens need to ponder as more westernised aping takes place,
material needs placated, the soul, becoming bereft of social values in
modern india is evident.

rajen.
