A look at the pathetic bunch that wants to benefit from the strident calls for
"Swadeshi" from the utterly clueless "Garv se kaho hum Hindu hain" crowd...

Raj:
Welcome to the thread. A breath of fresh air.

Here is something a universal man appreciates:
Bangalore: The character of every day Indian, to take the good in any religion, however foreign it is. An observation by an American. In the past , I also posted that in one of the famous Hindu temples, there is a mini temple where a muslim princess is given a special place for adoration by Hindus. Re SriRangam Ranganatha Temple

When I went in to work in the afternoon, I told a colleague about the morning and her reaction was "You went to Russell Market on September 8!" as if we should have known what was going on. It turns out that this was "St Mary's Feast". The highlight is a parade where they bring out one of the icons. This event is also very popular with Hindus which believe that this icon will bring good luck. It turns out that the majority of the crowd waiting to get into the Church probably were not Catholic.

Raj:
Tolerance is the middle name for most of the Indians of all religions. The Indian, esp Hindu character and genes, however much one denies their existence & disparages their value, they are appreciated by people of all religions.

Adoration of Islam:

Adoration of Christianity:

'..some people are wise while others,otherwise'..

Say Raj,

See if you get anything out this, a chuckle, a smirk, a grin or perhaps nothing at all.

THE TIMES, they are a changing. And fast. If you did not notice that until Bob Dylan reminded you, then perhaps you are a specially gifted person. Perhaps you are alive too, and that's certainly a bonus! If you are not, it's probably because you seduced a rare virus and she teased you into becoming its lunch. Well, do you think the world cares about rare microbes or their eight-course meals? So why do you think we spent millions on research and development of Viagra? If potency is really that important to society then why is Clinton being persecuted and why doesn't Pfizer adopt Laloo Yadav as the mascot for the new drug?

Chopsticks-Asia and Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.

Hey Raj and thread:

Here is an article [bit sarcastic i might add] regarding the current goings on in Asia particularly the attempt of the Confucian Tribe to exclude India from the Asian continent.This is all really silly if you ask me but amusing reading nonetheless.

Enjoy.
