[Reader-list] Yousuf & Manmohan

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Yasir
 
Yes, Buddhist Heritage of Pakistan is being spoken about and worked upon. It is treated as being distinct from Hindu Heritage. There are 2 other reasons. One, the great potential of Buddhist-Tourism. Second, (devious as ever Pakistan) to establish a connection with the Buddhist-Dalits of India.
 
Hindu Heritage of Pakistan being promoted? You must be joking. Could you give some significant examples comparable with the promoting of the Buddhist Heritage?
 
Nothing wrong with "using religion to promote love". That is perhaps the only useful aspect of "Religions".
 
But, you 'promote love' where there is reciprocity. India would be idiotic to repose such trust in Pakistan until Pakistan continues to teach hate against India  and propagate it by both word and action.
 
Kshmendra

religion to promote love - whats wrong with that ! ?
