May we should consult the true historians who say most things in India are because of white man, you know Hilter's (or British imperial creationists) Aryans, and locals, those dravidians, were just waiting to the educated, such as, say, Prof Witzel to tell us what to do. He has western name - so he's probably a neutral, secular party. From Harvard? Even better. I am sure 50 other secular historians would sign his letter including plently of Sikhs who are not too sure why they should grow out their hair.<BR/><BR/>I guess it's time to update this table. Add another column for Sikhism - it too came from that lesser holy land. Can't listen to practioners; need secular validators.<BR/><BR/> Islam Judaism Christianity Hinduism <BR/>Organized community advocacy <BR/>groups lobbying for change? YES YES YES YES <BR/>Academics protesting against<BR/>community activism? NO NO NO YES<BR/>Empaneled hostile academics<BR/>as advisors? NO NO NO YES<BR/>Advocates of religion were <BR/>branded as “chauvinists”, <BR/>“fundamentalists”, <BR/>and “nationalists”? NO NO NO YES<BR/>Repeated scrutiny of edits <BR/>proposed by religious advocacy <BR/>groups? NO NO NO YES<BR/>Utilized secretive processes<BR/>in making final decisions? NO NO NO YES<BR/><BR/><BR/>At least CA teenage Sikh eight graders won't be humiliated in front of his utter understanding peers and run to his Mom asking to be converted to a Christian or a Muslim - those with historically accurate religions. Why? Our religion is not about what you said - satya meva jayate or about taking different paths to moksham. It's about beating up ones wife, or burning her on a pile of wood, and kicking a fellow man when he's down, and seeing monkeys everywhere. What? They didn't tell me about jihad, jaziya, killing kafirs, or 72 virgins in after-life. Well, it'd better be Christianity then - I may get luck in this life.<BR/><BR/>I guess that the multicultural world of secularists.<BR/><BR/>Chandra (a hindu name.
