Religious tolerance

I am not a religious man!!!

But by birth I am a Hindu, when someone talks bad about my religion it hurts me, at the same time when somebody forces about other religion and indirectly convinces me to convert my religion, I feel defensive...I am of that type who belives in humanity than that of religions, moreso I would like to say there should be no religion in the whole world...how nice it would be...No Christians converting the poor backward people..no islamic wars in the name of religion...no sethu samuthiram issue...No issue for Dhasavatharam movie"

After thinking...its also not good to be without religion, because religion teaches the value for perfect,Obedient,respectful, it will make people to follow the rules..in this jungle of society..if not Might will be right...like the law of the jungle.

My conclusion is the need for Religious tolerance, people should accept other people's religion...I mean no forcing convertions, we all should see the difference and should practise to live with it...

I realy appreciate when something like that happens...

The one good news is that Britain to get first Hindu school


Britain’s first state-funded Hindu school was founded in Horrow, North London, with chanting of Vedic hymns and a Bhoomi Puja, the traditional foundation laying ceremony today.


There are 6,850 faith schools in Britain -- about a third of all state schools. The large majority is Christian. There are 37 Jewish, seven Muslim, two Sikh, one each of Green Orthodox and Seventh Day Adventist schools. These schools have a total of 1.7 million pupils.

The patron of the school is the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).

Pupils at Krishna-Avanti Primary School, which will open its doors to the first reception class in September, will have dedicated yoga and Sanskrit lessons and will grow vegetables, in line with the strict vegetarian principles of the school.


There had been no Hindu state school until now because the community was not ready to take on the responsibility, Nitesh Gor, chairman of governors of the school told newsmen.


"It has taken the Hindu community the last few decades to establish its roots in this country. There has been no focus on education yet because the school system is a strict statutory regime and only now are we coming up to that level of expertise to say 'we can deliver this'," he said.
