Please reconsider "On leaving the list"

[Guest guest]

VERY GOOD ONE indeed :-))))

I did have a good laugh, thanks!

 

 

this is my request to all, indians or not. if you got hurt by teh name

calling etc. and didn't see any valid points or questions at all, then

fine, please relieve your agony and i am very sorry,

 

but if you saw any valid points, then don't throw them away under teh

blanket of 'passion', 'nationailist' and other lables.

 

it is not wrong to be emotional or passionate, as long as one doesn't

misues either. it is not wrong to be proud of one's heritage or nation

or culture. even modern day psychologit will say you can't function

properly without self respect. giude these so called errant or misled

indians properly with your wisdom. you owe it to them, those of you

who think you are anywhere near teh gurus of ancient india.

 

 

for those if any who are mere data processors, thank you for your

time.

 

i wish people would rather put their case than just leave.

just because some one differs one should not walk away.

 

would they expect an indian to walk away when caste system is

discussued saying "you are just stubborn, and don't my point that

catset is good etc?" and still think he is a scholar? you would think

he can't think progrssively.

 

i don't think adjectives against those you differ with are a good

thing unless it is obvious like no one objects against the use of

adjectives for nazi. we all know their violence and results of it all.

 

but branding hindus as fanatcis without countering their arguments is

not scholarly either.

 

and to say things like there are better things to do and not even

answer valid points being raised, is cowardice and lack of competence.

 

if nothing, please enlighten us with the right stuff without being

condescending or arrogant.

 

we are all listening. if you just throw away that heavy cloak of

righteousness.

 

of course you can always make your own groups which you will, but of

what use is knowledge if you won't impart to real people who should be

benefitting from it?
