An Humanist's view about Hindu extremists

Terrorism in our backyard!

Pravin Sabnis on June 26, 2002 writes about the VHP? (the World Hindu Council )


Do you know that they oppose the uniform civil code? Do you know that are against any social reform within the Hindu religion? Do you know that they collect huge amounts of money in the name of God? The "sadhus" who are high on dope are seen brandishing "materialism" in the form of swanky cars and luxurious living.

Any Religion is a bane when it enters public space. Like the saying "going to the dogs",  Hinduism has gone to the swamis and sadhus!

Earlier, Pravin Sabnis had written thus on June 25, 2002 :

Terrorists reject the law of the land. They refuse to accept the verdicts of the court. They dig the graveyards of the past and seek to bury the present and the future of the people.

They identify and persecute a community to further their vested interests. They will never permit the public scrutiny of their illegal funds. They use brutal force and violence to execute their dangerous game plan.

They use religious ideology and ethnic sentiments to provoke social strife. They are a danger to social harmony.

Terrorists come in various garbs and disguises. Like the VHP!
