I always felt that one couldnt choose one's religion when you were born but could do so later where you switch faith either you are pissed off with the existing one or you are getting some kind of incentive converting to another. Whatever the case may be, i agree with china's concept of keep all the crap inside and perform things inside the privacy of your homes and dare the risk of showing one's affection and beliefs in public. The same is the case with political leaning, you dont go around thumping your chest that you steadfastly support some party or aligning with some party's objective. This ranting is due to a news article .....
New Delhi: At a time, when a political battle is being fought in Parliament on the very existence of Ram, a different version of Ramayana is being shown in several parts of Uttar Pradesh. The CD shows Lord Ram in poor light. He is portrayed as someone who was anti-Dalit, so much that he even killed a Dalit, whose feet he touches by mistake. The clips were exclusively available with news channel IBN 7 and are all part of a movie called Teesri Aazadi. The movie is being produced and sold in many parts of UP and Gujarat by an organisation called Bhimrao Ambedkar Samaj Sudhar Samiti. Activists of this organisation claim that they have the support of a BSP MP. However, the MP seems to deny encouraging the organisation.
I see this as a cheap shot in highlighting the ills of being a hindu and a stimulus to get the membership drive up and running for some hidden agenda. Thing is no one cares a damn in cities and they must target the confused segments with poor family values and culture to get popular. There wont be any credibility at all if it comes from someone who have little knowledge of what he or she is talking about. Its akin to a milkman concocting a new drink and trying to say that his cocktail is better than coke and pepsi because coke and pepsi use water and he is using milk and water...both natural ingredient :D ...He may get some publicity to some extent and some curious customers on the fringe or someone who hates colas may become a steadfast supporter and loyal consumer. But which is important....eroding a major market share of established existing company or get the consumers who werent drinking any colas?
