Guest guest Posted November 3, 1995 Report Share Posted November 3, 1995 The HINDU Quotes I read The Hindu on WWW. The best part of it for me is the RELEGION section. I copy and save everyone of them. Personally rest of the paper is more or less typical politics as usual. The next best thing in Hindu paper is readers views (letters to the editor). Unfortunately I have not seen it on WWW. May be it is not covered there. So I go ahead and read Editorial section. In summary, I copy and study the Religion section. I read the editorial I browse through rest of the paper. By the way, every news paper in the US, I ever bought Houston Post (Texas) Lexington Herald(Kentucky) Bartlesville examiner(Oklahoma) Cincinnati Enquirer(Ohio) discuss Christianity Heavily. Even the real estate section is nor free from it-Burial plots! I have not read NY times inside pages. I would very much think thay will also carry religion column (perhaps both Christian and Jewish). Greater than 50% of the people in the US said they believe in Creation as per the Bible. This survey was published in reputed US journal" Science." USA is perhaps as religious country than India -just because they don't talk about Alwars, let us not think they are not religious! In fact, one popular sociologist Peter Berger, interviewed on PBS by Bill Moyers said that Americans are mystical Dreamers. The real materialists are the EAST ASIANS. He said , Americans may even be less materialistic and more religious than Indians. I alos get this feeling after Saturday parties in Indian gatherings- (note: I am not criticising that). News media in the US rightly caters to the Christian sentiments. If it avoids here and there it is with great pressure to be politically correct and also because of a greater Jewish influence in the media. The famous Time Magazine has a section on RELIGION. K.
