Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Namaste Suryaji and Arthaji, I agree that all true religion is secular but no one can deny that some well known religions actually hold as a main tenent that their 'Truth' is the 'Only Way.' Hinduism is not one of those religions. ALSO THERE IS A FLAW IN YOUR LOGIC.IF HINDUISM IS TRULY SECULAR, AS YOU CLAIM TO RECOGNIZE, THEN WHERE IS THE NEED TO DECLARE NEPAL A 'SECULAR STATE?' According to that logic, Nepal was already secular when it was an official Hindu Nation. The only real reason to declare it secular is to appease the Maoist Terror Movement and disempower Hindus. Also I noted your organization titled 'World Society for Peace and Harmony.' I am sure you mean this as a world without wars but you cant artificially achieve this.Therefore its just a slogan. Its theoritical. As I look around the real world I notice very few examples of peace and harmony. I look at the parks, kids playing, yelling loudly. I look at the churches, mosques and temples. Not peaceful but very loud and exciting. I look at everything thats alive and flourishing and its not peaceful and seldom harmonious. Where do we find peaceful places in the real world? Museums and Graveyards. Very quiet, calm, serene places but also places dedicated to death and the dead. So I dont know you or yr org personally, but calls for Peace and Harmony that do not take into account that the real world is not about Peace, its about dualities are delusional. Your ideas that you can support injustice and disempowerment of 80% of a Nation's culture, the Hindus of Nepal, and achieve Peace are unrealistic. Also I find it of interest that you and yr group are based in the Islamic Kingdom of Qatar. I hope you are extending yr concerns for Peace and Harmony there as well. Your Neighbor Qataris deserve your concern for the lack of 'Democracy'gender equality and religious freedoms as well. Nepal was peaceful until your Maoist friends funded by the London Based 'World to Win' folks began killing and abducting inncocent Nepalis. You say waste no tears yet I mourn the oppression by the Maoists. The fact you have no tears and outrage against the Maoists says alot regarding what you mean by Peace and Harmony. The Killing Fields of Kambulja are peaceful places and now it is being duplicated in Nepal. Also Suryaji, you accuse General Bharat Keshar Singh and offer no proof. Are your words enough to try, convict and hang someone? Vrndavan NepalWatch, "Prof. Surya Subedi" <s.p.subedi wrote: > > I agree with Artha jee.
