It is very sad to see that Brahman stop to pray the Union Minister family atleast at the time when he was so sad and his one grandson has died.This made them religious but the brahmans of the temples hurt their sentiments.Islam is a religion of equality and it never previal untouchabilty all the humans are equal in Islam either they are upper caste or lower caste all can read namaz in any mosque any where in world nobody can stop them.

hi zaheen, i agree with you. but hinduism is also not as potrayed by these acts.. lord krishna divided the human folk in 4 diff categories based on the work they did.. Also, it dint supported untouchability.besides the distinction in various castes was not on the basis of lineage as currently followed but on basis of work a person does. such distinction is followed in every society..it helps joining the like mindied ppl together..also the code of conduct in day to day life is different for ppl working in diff places. eg: a soldier is fighting for freeing his homeland and saving his ppl. So if he kills somebody for that, would that be a sin?? But on the other hand, if a merchant kills some1, its a sin for him.. But as in all religions, the later followers used the text incorrectly to their advantage and propogated such silly things..things have changed a lot over previous years. i accept there are some like the priests still existing but can say in the same breath that they are hugely outnumbered. we the modern day literate hindus stand against such priests and are very sad to hear such one off cases.regarding islam, i think the same applies true.. and i know a lot of good ppl whose stand is against the fanatical stand proposed by the minority there

Boss... thanks for your enlightening words.. the minister nor his faimly was stopped from worshipping in the temple! Get your facts right. I would love to see non-muslims being allowed into your mosques

Mr. Zaheen No point in comparing religions based on practices. Most of this traditions are made by humans themselves....I feel Upanishads dont preach untouchability. Similarly for Muslims there r so many unislamic traditions being followed by Muslims. U cant blame religion for that. There r many Brahman who dont care for casts.. So its the mentality that one possesses is important not his cast ..creed ..
You are not supposed to blame Brahman ... thats UNISLAMIC...
