Re: [IAC#RG] Definition of "Hindu"

I see many post from well meaning persons trying to give suggestions for taking the nation forward with least amount of conflicts and people living in harmony. IT IS AN UTOPIA. We cannot wish away the sway RELIGION has over the people. Also our society has not yet got over the divides caused by CASTE and CREED Way forward may be evolved by wide discussions among various religious heads instead of only the HINDU's just foregoing their identity without others showing any indication of any matching move.I am proud to be a HINDU following SNAAATAN DHARMA and worshipping IDOLS as physical representation of various devis and devtas .

               I am retd defence officer with 35 years of service during which We practised SARVDHARMA and APOLITICAL working. I have studied various religions wherein I have found many similarities. But in civil life I have seen that pamphlets circulated by some religions advocating superiority of their religion over others.Such ONE UPMANSHIP does not facilitate harmony and peace.Unless all mutually evolve a way forward, nothing worthwhile is going to happen.

every time a new topic of discourse begins,it may be prudent to see
how directly(and not through some circuitous manner) is it related to
the core objectives of the forum.Meandering and criss-cross dialogues
could hardly serve a good,much less great purpose of the forum.Every
one is,at the end of the day,back to square one.
