Untouchability

[Guest guest]

My Dear Brother,

 

Love and Love alone.....

 

It is not at all my intention to enter into an argument with you, but

let me put the things straight only once for you and for every one

here in this group.

 

First of all, I am very happy to receive your mail. Yes, it is true

that its simple to cut and paste lengthy stories from other sources.

But, I feel happy to do so, as I am not cutting the throats of other

innocent and helpless human beings or living creatures in the name of religion.

Hinduism never ever preached barbarism in the name of religion. Please keep this

always in the back of your mind before commenting on the other religions.

 

Visiting temples, etc., please go to any good temple like Tirupathi

or any other, you will find thousands of people practising other

religions, and the " low-caste people " as you put it, are also in the

same line to worship the God, as anybody else, wither high-caste or

rich. Nobody is denied entry, whereas in Mecca, only a Muslim is

permitted. Is it not? Highlighting one or two rare examples, as you

did, is height of foolishness and stupidity. In fact, one of the

wives of Lord Venkateswara is Bibi Nancharamma. Do you know that? So,

kindly remove the tainted glasses on your eyes to see the things in

their right perspective.

 

We have only four varnas, but people who invaded this sacred land,

ruined the varna dharma under their sword. Now, preaching or

questioning the Hindu dharma is only to cover up their brutality and

to exhibit to the world altogether a different face. Anywhere in the

world, the moment one used the word " Terrorist " , only one religion

comes to mind. Is it not? Why it is so? Let us question ourselves

before questioning others and trying to preach others.

 

The so-called untouchables are ruling the country in India. We have

presidents, chief ministers, ministers, chief justices of Supreme

Court and senior high ranking officials and everywhere people from

other religions are thriving in this sacred land. Can you show me

just one example in the neighbouring countries or for that matter

anywhere in the world, where other religions are in majority but a

minority person is at the helm of affairs? Still, one has the

audacity to question others, as if one is sacred and the others are

sinners?

 

Sant Kabir Das was a low-caste (cobbler). Valmiki, the author of

Ramayana, was a hunter. The writer of Indian constitution was a low-

caste. Sage Vishwamitra was a Warrior. Lord Rama is a Kshatriya. Lord

Krishna is a Cow-hard. We wholeheartedly worship all of them. How

many example do you need like this? I can give thousands. Can you

name a few like this from other religions? So, before barking at

others, please look into details, you will get aplenty in Hinduism

and no other religion can even boast that kind of greatness even in

their wildest dreams. Please remember.

 

We have complete freedom in all respects, irrespective of sex,

region, religion, etc. Can you show me this anywhere in the world,

including in the neighbouring countries? You cannot, I challenge you

dear Brother. Try to understand the greatness of Hinduism, before

questioning. Learn and practise to preach and evolve as a real human

being but not a branded human being as in other religions. We worship

every deity, we have that freedom, do you have that? We have the

liberty to go to church, masjid, gurudwara or anywhere, do you have

that freedom in the neighbouring countries?

 

It is wise not to get into this kind of argument, but since you have

started without any concern and respect for others sentiments and

feelings, I have to reply you and this is my first and last reply to

you. Henceforth, I sincerely advice and request you to limit yourself

learning the things than questioning, without looking into your own

backyard.

 

Many thanks for giving me this opportunity

 

Love and Love alone....

Brother,

 

Inter cast marriage is not only the main difference between sects.

The other religions allow every one to visit their worship places,

their homes, meet them with shaking hands .... whereas in Hinduism?

When some say they belong to same religion even though of different

sect, they come forward and treat them as their brothers, eat from

the same plate, drink from same glass - is it also in Hinduism? Why a

harijan or low cast person can't enter temple? Why they have to be

away from city/town forced to a abandon area? Why they are treated

even today as untouchables?

 

Try to think about other religions with open mind and honest. You

will find many positive things which Hinduism lost because of aging.

I respect sacred texts of Hinduism, but where are the original copy,

in its original written language? Even if exist, its not available to

others except of those from High cast Hindus. Why? If its for whole

humanity, they should be available to all.

 

My sincere request to you brother, read the sacred text of your

choice, try to list out what does its each paragraph/page teaches,

how can you implement it in your life and advice others. Its simple

to cut and paste lengthy stories from any of other internet sites,

but search of reality guides you to a straight path which one day you

may achieve it.

 

May Creator of you, me and whole universe guide us towards straight

path and protect from all evil and wrong faiths.

 

Best wishes,

 

Fellow human brother,

We feel apologetic about the differences in Hindu society especially

since we think that the followers of other religions are not divided

in the same way as we are. The latter are scornful of Hinduism on

this score and some Hindus themselves feel that the differences in

our society are unjust. But, if you pause to reflect on the subject,

you will realise that if our civilization has survived from

prehistoric times until today it is only because of these very

differences in our society, the differences according to varna

dharma.

 

In other religions too, even if there is no caste according to their

scriptures, the communities are divided. Some of the divisions are

almost like jatis and they do not intermarry. Muslims are divided

into Sias (Shias), Sunnis and Ahmadiyas. In the south the Pattanis

(Pathans) and Labbai Muslims do not intermarry. Among Christians

there are Catholics, Protestants and followers of the (Greek)

Orthodox Church. Hindus are divided on the basis of labour or work,

but are united on another level. But followers of other religions,

though themselves divided, speak ill of us. Yet we do not respond

properly to their criticism.
