Hindu extremists converting schools to their version of Madrassah

[Shabz Nist]

Article is idiotic.

Hindu missionaries can not make the people radical in the line of Islam.
E.G what will happen if they taught Gita?
Gita is now been taught in management in Harward and IIMs also.

Gita lacks the justification of being militant and teaches to become a karma yogi.

Teaching of Gita will make the people the better human being. Try to establish parity with Madrasa and Islam is an act of ignorance.




We shall teach them what Hayward is teaching to their management students.

If you think that you are left behind, Start teaching quaran in BD. That will help your country to become another syria, Iraq very fast.



No our society has survived at the cost of dirty dance on the chest of Hindus by insulting their ethos. recently NC MLAs denied to Joint hand with BJP because it will led to a Hindu CM in J & K. This has been happening with Hindus since the independence and before. As this discrimination is not enough, Party like congress try to bring communal violence bill to make Hindus second grade citizen. We are stooped to learn some philosophies from our precious holy book which are taught in universities like Harward.

If anybody find any objection in Gita preaching than let your children learn somewhere else. We can not deprive our children from learning something which will build there corrector and led them to the path of morality.

Lol

This reminds me of the same self-righteous holier than thou attitude that prevails among many muslims when it comes to the madrassa. I agree with the article. Hindu extremism is definitely going to be a problem for India in the immediate future.

 

[Tshering22]

what nonsense ! no need to teach religious books how ever great they are to children. if they are interested they will learn on their own or from their families.

Then you don't know the difference between an organized religion and an ancient cultural scripture.

Please study the difference and come back.

Can you say the same for students not having to learn certain subjects taught in school considering that you support "if they are interested, they will learn"?

Sir, everything is not based on interest. Whether it is our book or your book, it is about the values that are imbibed in them.

Having read my own Sutras and Tripeetaka, the Gita,the Guru Granth Sahib and Kalpasutra all four, I can safely say that in none of the books, there is anything that says, 'our teaching is superior, those who don't follow, convert or kill them'.

Therefore, these are systems of life and not religions like those that originate from the Middle East.

I request you to please look at what is happening than just follow what the leftist media and influencing sources talk about.

Making India intoa tinderbox duplicate of the established Western order is not the way to see our country the way we are.

I am surprised that you as a Hindu have to be told this.

Indian Muslims are worse off than even the lowest caste untouchables in India.

Do you know that Muslims make up 13% of India's population but 28% of Indian prisoners? Similarly, Christians make up 2.8% of India's population but 6% of India's prison population? Meanwhile, the newly elected parliament has just 4% Muslim representation?

Have you seen the ghettoization of Muslims in Indian cities? Have any Muslims told you that they are excluded from living in nice urban neighborhoods?

Do you know that Indian Muslims are now worse off than the lowest-caste Hindus, or Dalits, in terms of education and employment? Have you seen the 2013 update of the Sachar Commission report which shows little improvement for Muslims since the original report published 2006?

They are prisoners because they commit crimes, and most of Indian gundas are muslims..starts with Dawooooooddddd..

Seems like Hindu extremists are getting inspiration by their counterpart "Mullahs" (whom they criticize day in day out) and converting schools into religious seminaris.

Rest assured, slowly but surely, these fanatics will completey re-write everything and poison minds of school going childeren by feeding them hatred.

What strategy should neighbors of India adopt to counter these hindu version of Talibans and de-radicalize the Indian society?

Haryana to introduce Gita in schools

CHANDIGARH: The Gita would be taught in Haryana schools from the next academic session from class V to XII.

Education minister Ram Bilas Sharma made the announcement on Monday while terming the Gita "supreme source of culture and human values in society''.

Sharma said the scripture is not only about dialogues between Arjuna and Krishna but is accepted worldwide as a supreme source of knowledge.

"A committee of educationists would decide on the inclusion of specific shlokas of the Gita in various standards. We are working on it to ensure that it is included from the next academic session," Sharma said.

Panjab University sociologist Manjeet Singh said the move was against the constitutional spirit.

"Our society has survived under adverse conditions, especially after Independence, due to its patience and capacity to absolve issue of various class and communities. If the majority would start taking such decisions, it would amount to fascism."

Good news.

Why would I be happy to see my country going down the drain ? A goddamn tragedy is what it is. Now it is just a matter of time...a train wreck waiting to happen.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

Abolish all religious schools.

India's Secularism Is a Myth:
Regarding secularism, here's how Kapil Komireddy demolishes the myth of Indian secularism in a piece he wrote for the Guardian newspaper:

For decades Indian intellectuals have claimed that religion, particularly Hinduism, is perfectly compatible with secularism. Indian secularism, they said repeatedly, is not a total rejection of religion by the state but rather an equal appreciation of every faith. Even though no faith is in principle privileged by the state, this approach made it possible for religion to find expression in the public sphere, and, since Hindus in India outnumber adherents of every other faith, Hinduism dominated it. Almost every government building in India has a prominently positioned picture of a Hindu deity. Hindu rituals accompany the inauguration of all public works, without exception.

The novelist Shashi Tharoor tried to burnish this certifiably sectarian phenomenon with a facile analogy: Indian Muslims, he wrote, accept Hindu rituals at state ceremonies in the same spirit as teetotallers accept champagne in western celebrations. This self-affirming explanation is characteristic of someone who belongs to the majority community. Muslims I interviewed took a different view, but understandably, they were unwilling to protest for the fear of being labelled as "angry Muslims" in a country famous for its tolerant Hindus.

The failure of secularism in India – or, more accurately, the failure of the Indian model of secularism – may be just one aspect of the gamut of failures, but it has the potential to bring down the country. Secularism in India rests entirely upon the goodwill of the Hindu majority. Can this kind of secularism really survive a Narendra Modi as prime minister? As Hindus are increasingly infected by the kind of hatred that Varun Gandhi's speech displayed, maybe it is time for Indian secularists to embrace a new, more radical kind of secularism that is not afraid to recognize and reject the principal source of this strife: religion itself.

Oh come on sir. India is. Pakistan is not.

when muslims teach kuran to their children its right and when we teach geeta its crime??

Yes.

its not about the teaching .. they may be great. But a govt sponsored/run school is not the place to learn these. The nearest religion can come inside a school premise open to all religion is in the form of Moral tales.

Oh come on sir. India is. Pakistan is not.


Yes.

why we should bother? they can teach their children to blow themselves.not my headache.

FYI
Bhagavad Gita is an important subjects in different western institutions.Christian Westerns dont have any problem with
Gita.So what is your problem?

You guys didnt see The Bhagavad Gita in your life .That is why you spitting this much of non sense here.Noone in this world cant twist Bhagavad Gita moral values.You cant understand it.
Because you dont know how it look like
to question a God.

Zero Radicalism that is the power of Hindu texts.And in India historians can scrutinize the entire subjects.

Change the thread title .... Bhagvad Geeta is not book which preaches about who will take of what percentage of WAR BOOTY .... Its a book of moral purification n following path of dharma thru righteous Karma ......

On topic
Its good to for young minds to lead their life with morals n dharma n must be taught in schools not as religious text but it should not be made compulsory for everyone.....

 

[Sugarcane]

Why from grade V to XII, why not from grad I to XII and as optional subject in colleges and universities?

it is the same in U.K too .. 27% of prisoners in U.K are muslims whle their population is jst 4.7% ....

Calls for inquiry as figures show 27% of London's prisoners are Muslim - UK - News - London Evening Standard

 

[अखण्ड भारत!!!]

What's the big deal,there are christian schools/muslim madrassas so what's wrong in hindu?

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Not a big deal. We already have versions of Gita in Tamil poetry. But I think we studied that only one year.
We studied Tamil Koran or Bible too. Its mainly about the good things in all..

I am not sure how they are going to implement those though.. We studied as a poetry which is fine, but if they are implementing it as a separate studies, then its not so awesome...
