You are right. They love Islam & Mullahs but no love for motherland. Gandhi tried but the cunning fox Jinnah(like Musharaff who took Vajpayee for a ride)scuttled everything because he had the ambition to be the leader. Poor Gandhi was even prepared to make that Jackal the PM of Akhanda Bharat. God saved us from more savagery.

I don't think Muslims can be blamed for owing allegiance only to Islam, Allah, Arabia etc. Because in the Quran, Allah clearly tells Muslims to fight in Allah's cause and Allah's cause only, to death, since a "beautiful paradise" awaits good Muslims. It even condemns Muslims who don't fight in Allah's name (remember the war chant of Allahuakbar), so peaceful Muslims are bad Muslims. If you want to know more about the "paradise" of Allah, go to this site: prophetofdoom.net

SHUT UP AND CALM DOWN. YOUR WORDS DOESNOT HELP ANYONE IN THIS FORUM AND IN THE WORLD. THE PRACTICALITY IS THAT, MUSLIMS ARE ALSO ONCE PART AND PARCEL OF HINDU SOCIETY. THEY WERE CONVERTED EITHER BY FORCE OR EITHER BY TRULY MAKING THEM UNDERSTAND THE ISLAM OR THEMSELVES CONVERTED DUE TO THEIR INTEREST IN CERTAIN ASPECTS OF ISLAM. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS, WE FIRST UNDERSTAND THE MAGNANIMITY OF INDIAN VEDI SPIRITUAL VALUES AND THEN WE REALIZE THE DIVINITY AND THEN TELL OTHERS.
INDIAN SPIRITUAL VALUES ARE SO MAGNANIMOUS THAT INDIA HAS PRODUCED CHRIST LIKE KRISHNA LIKE SAINTS IN EVERY GENERATION WITH OUT FAIL WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD HAD SEEN ONLY VERY FEW LORD JESUS CHRIST LIKE OR LORD PROPHET MOHAMMED LIKE SAINTS SO FAR.
SO, FIRST YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR RELIGION AND THEN REALIZE DIVINITY AND THEN DO ANYTHING. TILL THEN WHATEVER YOU DO OR SAY WILL ONLY ADD TO THE CURRENT CHAOS AND NOTHING ELSE.

Good large hearted people, who are not dogmatic, have understood the greatness of Hinduism & have high opinion of Hinduism/Sanathana Dharma. Here is a sample:
Vedic Hinduism, Upanishad, Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta represent true spiritualism. It deals with human psychology beyond mind. It deals with space, time, creation, metaphyscis, philosophy, cycle of soul reincarnation, casual effect, cosmology, creation of universe and concept of life. HINDUISM IS WORLD's most INTELLECTUAL religion. Read Vedanta, Upanishad, Bhagavd Gita and Vedas.
There is no true religion except Hinduism. Read Advaita Vedanta and Bhagavd Gita. These two spiritual classics relate religion with psychology and metaphysics where as no religion has ever attended to touch the paradigm of consciousness and mind with respect to soul and ego.

"The Bhagavad-Gita (HINDU HOLY BOOK) is an empire of thought and in its philosophical teachings Krishna has all the attributes of the full-fledged monotheistic deity and at the same time the attributes of the Upanishadic absolute." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita (HINDU HOLY BOOK), in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seems puny and trivial." ~ Henry David Thoreau
"The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states..." behold we are not an earthly but a heavenly plant." ~ Carl Jung

Not just Albert Einstein, but many scientist who touched the border line between the matter and mind and the world that is beyond both matter and mind are looking at Vedic knowledge in wonder.
Please read the book "AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A YOGI" by "Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda" and you will find that Modern Science is RE-AFFIRMING (not discovering any thing new but re-establishing) what is said in the religious scriptures like Vedas, Geetha, BibleA TRUTH.
THIS BOOK IS THE SPIRITUAL MASTERPIECE OF THIS CENTURY THAT HAS RECEIVED ACCLAIMS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD MEDIA AND ENLIGHTENED INDIVIDUALS IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR RACE, RELIGION, NATIONALITY OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL OR MIND LEVEL DIFFERENCES.
EVEN IF ONE DOESNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SAIND IN GEETHA, OR VEDIC SCRIPTURES, BY READING THIS BOOK, ONE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW PRACTICAL AND TURE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT IS DOCUMENTED IN RELIGIOUS TEXTS. WE EVEN NOW HAVE CHRIST LIKE, KRISHNA LIKE SAINTS BETWEEN US, BUT ITS JUST THAT WE DONOT KNOW OR DONOT KNOW HOW TO FIND THEM. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYONE LEFT WITH NOT EXPERIENCING ALL PERVADING DIVINITY OR GOD BY THE TIME THEY COMPLETED READING THIS BOOK.

Here are the WORLDWIDE REVIEWS that this book received:
The origin of the caste system, formulated by the great legislator Manu, was admirable. He saw clearly that men are distinguished by natural evolution into four great classes: those capable of offering service to society through their bodily labor ( Sudras); those who serve through mentality, skill, agriculture, trade, commerce, business life in general (Vaisyas); those whose talents are administrative, executive, and protective%u2014rulers and warriors ( Kshatriyas); those of contemplative nature, spiritually inspired and inspiring (Brahmins). "Neither birth nor sacraments nor study nor ancestry can decide whether a person is twice-born (i.e., a Brahmin);" the Mahabharata declares, "character and conduct only can decide."Manu instructed society to show respect to its members insofar as they possessed wisdom, virtue, age, kinship or, lastly, wealth. Riches in Vedic India were always despised if they were hoarded or unavailable for charitable purposes. Ungenerous men of great wealth were assigned a low rank in society.
"Inclusion in one of these four castes originally depended not on a man's birth but on his natural capacities as demonstrated by the goal in life he elected to achieve," an article in East-West for January, 1935, tells us. "This goal could be (1) kama, desire, activity of the life of the senses (Sudra stage), (2) artha, gain, fulfilling but controlling the desires (Vaisya stage), (3) dharma, self-discipline, the life of responsibility and right action (Kshatriya stage), (4) moksha, liberation, the life of spirituality and religious teaching (Brahmin stage). These four castes render service to humanity by (1) body, (2) mind, (3) will power, (4) Spirit.
"These four stages have their correspondence in the eternal gunas or qualities of nature, tamas, rajas, and sattva: obstruction, activity, and expansion; or, mass, energy, and intelligence. The four natural castes are marked by the gunas as (1) tamas (ignorance), (2) tamas-rajas (mixture of ignorance and activity), (3) rajas-sattva (mixture of right activity and enlightenment), (4) sattva (enlightenment). Thus has nature marked every man with his caste, by the predominance in himself of one, or the mixture of two, of the gunas. Of course every human being has all three gunas in varying proportions.

Very well explained by Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda. All societies have division; for example the division is based on wealth in countries like USA. You hear about "Boston Brahmins" the so called priveldged class of rich influencial people who mingle & marry only among themselves to preserve the priviledges.

Serious evils arose when the caste system became hardened through the centuries into a hereditary halter. Social reformers like Gandhi and the members of very numerous societies in India today are making slow but sure progress in restoring the ancient values of caste, based solely on natural qualification and not on birth. Every nation on earth has its own distinctive misery-producing karma to deal with and remove; India, too, with her versatile and invulnerable spirit, shall prove herself equal to the task of caste-reformation.
"To a certain extent, all races and nations observe in practice, if not in theory, the features of caste. Where there is great license or so-called liberty, particularly in intermarriage between extremes in the natural castes, the race dwindles away and becomes extinct. The Purana Samhita compares the offspring of such unions to barren hybrids, like the mule which is incapable of propagation of its own species. Artificial species are eventually exterminated. History offers abundant proof of numerous great races which no longer have any living representatives. The caste system of India is credited by her most profound thinkers with being the check or preventive against license which has preserved the purity of the race and brought it safely through millenniums of vicissitudes, while other races have vanished in oblivion."

WE KNOW THAT CASTE SYSTEM WAS MISUSED BY OUR OWN PEOPLE SOMETIME BACK, AND WE REALIZED THIS MISTAKE AND THE SOCIETY IS ON THE PATH TO CORRECTION, EVEN THOUGHT, ITS A SLOW PROGRESS, IT IS DEFINITELY MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
BUT THIS DOESNOT MEAN WE SHOULD WILDLY GO OUT AND FIGHT AMONG OUTSELVES FOR SILLY THINGS AND GIVE OUTSIDERS CHANCE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR NEGATIVES.
ALSO, SO CALLED CHRISTIAN AND ISLAMIC MANIACS WHO ARE COMPLTELY LOST ON WHAT WAS TOLD TO THEM TO PRACTISE, FORGOT WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND WENT ON CONVERSION SPREE AND NOW THESE TWO RELIGIONS ARE AT A STATE WHERE ITS FOLLOWERS LOST ALMOST 99% OF WHAT IS TOLD BY LORD JESUS CHRIST OR LORD PROPHET MOHAMMED AND HENCE WE SEE THE CURRENT CHAOS IN THESE TWO WORLDS THAT WE SEE NOW.
RE:Caste system?
by Umesh Verma on May 04, 2007 03:31 AM
I agree with the thoughts and views put forward "Sridhar Gorantla". A good example to explain caste system in the contemporary time is the Organization or Company. CEO of a company earns lot more than the new incubent (new employee). Experience and Skill also counts in determining the progress of the employee within the company which is also equated to "Karma" or "actions". Therefore it is important that how the lower level employees are treated by the superiors ? When you join a company or an organization as the following questions :=> 1. How the lower level employees are being treated by their boss ? 2. How the people who are employed in the cleaning jobs (Toilet, Loundry, Vaccum Cleaners, etc..) are being treated ? 3. Work Culture is getting worse each day. What is the attitude of the fellow employees towards you ?
RE:Caste system?
by Raju Puducode on May 04, 2007 02:22 AM
The caste system as it is practised is really bad. Sri Krishna talks of divisions of humans based on their tendencies & actions in Bhagawad Githa. But now the division is based on birth alone which is very bad. There could be chandalas among the brahmins & vice versa. Real brahmin is a person who is engaged in pursuit of "Brahman" or the supreme godhead/God realization irespective of birth. Good example is Gandhiji who was a real Karma Yogi. There are some brahmins who cannot live without meat, drinks or smoke. They are worse than Shudras.

It is a good thing to give the option to comment by all the readers. But I feel that there is a need to filter/edit before these comments are posted on the website, not afterwards. Sometimes the readers are getting highly emotional and attacking other readers personally which will never do any good. The whole purpose of sharing mature and sensible thoughts is getting lost in this war of the words. I also feel the image of the website is getting damaged because of this.

No I do not share your views. First, there will be a long delay for your post to appear & people will rather go to other web sites. Second, the politically correct press will not place anything remotely offensive to minorities, just like the bloody Congress, to curry favour from them. Third, they will more than eager to publish anything as long as it is offensive to the Hindus & they are kicked on their groin.
