How sad! In the 21st century, We, the People of India, continue to fool ourselves with these messy, murky, silly, meaningless issues and wallow in these dirty old traditions, while elsewhere in the world people have turned their attention to improving the quality of life - and all vital issues to make life meaningful, and achieving them. But we .. ?
I don't know who the Gods of Guruvayur and other such temples will bless - or punish - Brahmins who protest the entry of "lower castes", or such "lower castes" who despair for and dare to take a darshan at Hindu temples! Purifying the temple because a human being came in to see the God - what bull shit man!
India, my dear mother India, please wake up and give us the strength to smash the chains that have kept us down to stupid beliefs, traditions and customs. Give us the strength to realize we are just human beings, man & woman, mother & father, brother & sister, friend & colleague, no less - even animals with lower senses don't distinuguish and differentiate one another, why should we?
And these hatreds, these impositions, these idiotic attitudes, in the land of Buddha, and Gandhi, and Periyar and scores of such enlightened leaders? Shame on us!

Great message shankar. It is time we stopped hating and arguing who is better, and in fact start getting better.

You are right.... we are a nation chained.... but you know who are the culprits? The Congress, the Islamists, the secularists like you, the lousy Journalists, the Parasite Communists, the Gandhi-Nehru rascals.

Yes, everybody else is the culprit, except any individual who talks...and nobody will ever accept that they themselves have something..a tiny bit to do with this situation.
