I am curious as I am not able to wholeheartedly try to correct humanity (try to make maximum amount of humans live a quality life if not all) when these questions of how problems are required for humans to overcome them, that without pain and hunger etc, we would not value the happiness we have, boredom would set in. so how are you able to satisfy these logical (i hope) questions that arises when I think. adityahttp://spider.nitt.edu/~adityapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-24227076052509443942011-07-31T01:36:10.475+05:302011-07-31T01:36:10.475+05:30One of the best blogs I came across !

I havent read any article yet but I expect this blog to provide some intellectual succor albeit one sided.I know little about Telangana so I expect to learn a lot. From what I gather, I agree with you and disagree on certain issues. You have called yourself a rational being and in the same tone speak condescendingly of commentators. Even unintelligent comments should have an outlet unless they are abusive. I hope you dont block them, because it goes against the tenets of free speech. You cannot expect readers to not change opinions in the light of superior arguments. That is super irrational. <br />Also , coming to religion, as a Hindu born agnostic, I can safely say that the threat from Hinduism is much less severe than that from organized religions. If I was born in a Muslim family, I could have been killed for abdicating the faith. Anyway, this was my rant. <br />A slightly less belligerent attitude and a better sense of humor would go a long way in helping things. <br />I agree with you on other issues, especially very strongly on labels being put on people and stereotypes being created (eg: radical communist, free market supporters) which encourage people to subscribe to a package of beliefs as opposed to choosing their individual beliefs on issues separately.Pravin Sharmanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-23106023265907726142010-04-03T10:12:29.277+05:302010-04-03T10:12:29.277+05:30hear, hear!!hear, hear!!Hitherto shalt thou come, but no furtherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01590460582595502662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-52110959829576634942010-02-11T07:42:42.876+05:302010-02-11T07:42:42.876+05:30Prabhakar,

I cannot refrain from discussing what I think I know.<br /> The difference I always look for more than one opinion whether it is crisis or normal issue.<br /> Not that I have self-doubt but I believe that every issue has multiple facets which one single person can understand.<br /> <br /> Usually criminal investigations are successful in revealing the identity of criminal by one of the two ways.<br /> Mistakes: criminal where he leaves some clues by mistake.<br /> Celebration: criminal wants to celebrate the success of his crime. Well you need at least one more to celebrate.<br /> <br /> But there are other kind of criminals who are difficult to catch.<br /> Natwarlal does not steal for wealth but cherished fooling poilce.<br /> When Sobharaj escaped Thihar jail there was anaylsis in India Today.<br /> Those like Sobharaj do not derive anything in committing crimes. No money. No wealth. <br /> They do not even derive 'pleasure' like sadists or intelligent criminals.<br /> This is not even a mental illness. They commit crimes just for the sake of it. <br /> It is just their behavior and no motive can be attributed to it.<br /> <br /><br /> As I have mentioned already no need to look into your intentions, nor judge your behavior.<br /> But my problem is where to place you?prabhakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-53289975937785461542010-01-15T08:37:38.816+05:302010-01-15T08:37:38.816+05:30Sheena Roy:

I turned to atheism after sudying hinduism in some detail. Not that I consider hinduism an abomination. I still admire many facets of hinduism esp. the liberty it grants me to be called a hindu despite my avowed hinduism. However, I do believe that followers of neo-hinduism tend to take themselves too seriously and it is high time that their bluff was called.<BR/><BR/>I also agree to your point that by and large religion should be judged by the actions of its followers, not its scriptures. However, I draw a line between innocuous superstitions such as paganism, wicca or christianity and destructive cults like Islam. In this I tend to go by Sam Harris' assessment that even though all religions are superstitions in the final analysis, the case of Islam is different from others in the breadth and scope of its totalitarian ideology. Destructive cults like Aum Shinkyo, Nazism, Fascism or Islam need to be confronted at its source (read scriptures). My interaction with muslims on various Islamic forums (www.yanabi.com, www.irf.net, www.zakirnaik.com) have only confirmed this perception. Islamic views on not only just right wing Islamic forums but even on enlightened Islamic forums have convinced me that treating Islam as just another innocuous superstition is akin to living in a state of denial. You may not have defended Islamic fundamentalism outrightly but you seem to have downplayed the actual threat of Islamic ideology in most of your blog to make it look balanced. <BR/><BR/>While I understand the danger of playing in the hands of right wing hindu elements by adopting an islamophobic attitude, forcing a balanced view in an unbalanced world may itself be a denial of reality.<BR/><BR/>I believe that all totalitarianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-12767107512118800212007-09-15T23:33:00.000+05:302007-09-15T23:33:00.000+05:30Sujai,I don't think the guys who accuse you of a c...Sujai,<BR/><BR/>I don't think the guys who accuse you of a communist or Hindu hater can understand the nuanced position of yours and many other saner people around. The reason for this is simple. It is beyond the comprehending ability of these people. Now you can understand why I treat these people on the right like a dirt. Thatz the only language they seem to understand. <BR/><BR/>Have you noticed this among the Hindus? Unlike the Islamic or Christian right, who take pride in being a right winger because of the strong belief in their ideals, Hindu right withers when they are characterized as right. For some strange reasons they believe in what are universally identified as right of center ideals but want to call themselves liberals.
