Mohan:
Thanks for the links on Kashmir. Very comprehensive. What worries me is that nobody is concerned about the Pandits. IT looks as if they don't exist or matter.
Any religion by its very nature is a conglomerate of beliefs, practices, ideas and prejudices and some violently thrust their beliefs on others.
If there is somebody, who can fuse all these religions Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism etc into one entity, infuse, & reinfuse new vigor in to this entity, discard all discordant elements from each one of these religions and create a dynamic universal religion of codes and conduct, both private and public, that will bring more peace on earth. A religion that is exclusive, monolithic, solidified,& petrified, in its ideas, conduct, preachings and practices as some are, lacking dynamism, and change with the times in an evolutionary way is not a religion at all. Let me give U an example: Is there an acceptance of homosexuals and women as priests? If the answer is an YES, that is dynamism and an evolution of a religion according to the changing times. A petrified religion is doomed to die, no matter how aggressive & strong it is in its beliefs, and in number of adherents.
