[Y-Indology] an appeal to scholars

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr. L. Suresh Kumar:

 

I have reacted to this posting below -

 

>The Christians and Muslims in India, through their organisations,

>have connections with foreign missionaries and forces inimical to

>India. The fundamental problem lies with Christians and

>Muslims - or rather, Christianity and Islam and not with Hindus.

 

>Problems arise when,

> either

>Christians take up the divine right to convert Hindus either

>forcibly or other means, and continue to ill-treat , insult, and

>humiliate the Hindus and Hinduism,

> or

>Muslims, continue to treat Hindus as kafirs and idolaters and

>hence must be killed;

 

 

How could you even post such a thing? This is a blatant display of mere

propaganda attempting to stir up religious hatred and violence towards

Muslims and Christians. It even advocates killing them! This is absolutely

the worst post I have seen yet, and that is saying a lot.

 

 

>It is this factor which is crucial to understand, highlight and

>emphasise, before the world criticises the Hindus of being

>fanatics. This is the fire. The reactions of Hindus is the smoke.

 

 

You state in your posting that Hindus are the "smoke" reacting to the "fire"

of Christianity and Islam. This is often the excuse of every criminal and

racist: that they are just reacting to persecution against them?

 

Also, certainly, not all Hindus feel as you do, so, as well, you should not

claim to speak for them.
