A truly significant interfaith dialogue: in whose interest? - III

The interfaith dialogue, Mumbai

 

As the despicable actions of different Christian denominations continued unabatedly, including alleged complicity in the murder of Hindu saints in Orissa and the blasphemous distortions of Hindu sacred scriptures in Karnataka, the majority community spontaneously reacted with a vengeance as the acts went beyond the limits of tolerance. As expected, the Church played victim and projected Hindus as communal marauders.

 

The UPA government and the 'secular' media also projected the Hindu majority in a bad light, and the Prime Minister shocked the nation by slavishly assuring the French President instead of telling him not to interfere in India's internal affairs. The secular brigade's act of internationalising India's domestic issues resulted in the proposed visit of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to Gujarat and Orissa.

Subj: Hindu-Christian counterpoint
1. From: James Treibert
Hello
It seems that the Christian stand point is more arrogant and dogmatic than the Hindu view.
Also Hinduism seems to have hope and more good deeds.
This is just my opionion.
James

2. My Take:
Jim: The Christian view point is more arrogant because, Christianity is over-loaded with ideology. In fact, Christianity is an ideology, not a religion at all. But it is so well-disguised as a religion, that most people do not notice it.

3. Christianity cannot succumb to the fairness-doctrine of a dialogue, it would rather have a monologue. This is because it ( Christianity ) is convinced that it has a monopoly on truth. Consequently, it is in no meed to hold a dialogue, with any type of Paganism, and Hinduism certainly is a Pagan religion.

4. Because Christianity believes that Hindu view point is false, it is not at all interested in knowing, the other side of the argument, the Hindu argument, no matter how legitimate the Hindu argument is, Christianity wants to completely shut down all Pagan Values, Hinduism included.

5. It can be correctly deduced that, this Christian attitude is intolerant, and highly-hypocritical. There is nothing open-minded about it.

Subj: Marseille Memorial ( for Veer Savarkar )

1. July 8, 2010 will mark the centenary of the attempt by Veer Savarkar to escape from S.S. Morea when the ship was anchored at Marseille (France)for refuelling. I understand plans were devised to erect a suitable memorial in Marseille to mark this event some years ago but that the current federal givernment in India is dragging its feet from actively supporting the project. As a result, it is not certain if the memorial will come up on July 8, 2010. Are there any private plans to mark this event?

S.Tilak

2. My Take:

To carve & chisel a memorial at Marseille, France, in honor of Great ( and Gutsy ) Veer Savarkar, is a most Fitting Idea. It is very decent & decorous to all those amongst us, who love liberty & dignity.
