Comment on Hinduism or Talibanism: In Support of Wendy Doniger’s book “The Hindus: An Alternative History” by Arun Shetty

Rajaji,

Did it ever occur to you that the people who have criticized Wendy have as much right as her to post their views without being called names like ‘Taliban’?
Hope the counter petition (no locked!!) didn’t stem out of your arrogance or ignorance.

Comment on Hinduism or Talibanism: In Support of Wendy Doniger’s book “The Hindus: An Alternative History” by John Weibull

Huh? Hindus signing online petition is like Taliban? Are you out of your mind? I think you have no clue about what the Taliban did.

As for Mrs. Doniger. I know quite a bit of inside information about her. She is as dumb as they come and is a professor only because of affirmative action. A few years ago, Microsoft Encarta investigated complaints of racism by Doniger and found her article to be unscholarly and racist and also full of factual errors and replaced the article.

I think you lost it when you compared people expressing their opinion on the net as something similar to what the Taliban did. Sorry, that does not cut it. Besides, you clearly do not understand what freedom of expression means.

Boycotts and private citizens applying pressure on commercial houses are legitimate means of expressing dissent. It would be denying one’s freedom of expression when the government uses force to prevent one from expressing oneself freely. If private citizens use coercive methods, it would be unacceptable.

I think you must be new to the United States and you do not understand what we stand for. We believe in freedom of expression and it includes internet petitions and pressure on commercial houses in non-violent ways.

You just waded into the deep end when you compared such methods to that of the Taliban. I shudder to think what would happen if people like you come into power. You would ban the internet because those of us who use it are like the Taliban!

As a self-appointed Protector of Academic Freedom and Tolerance, are you capable of appreciating the irony in finding yourself censoring every opinion that may alleviate your ignorance? You censored out 80 percent of your own supporters, and 22 out of 23 (i.e., all except your own pompous self) from your Petitions In Support of Pornography.

The people who expressed outrage at the peddling of pornography at the expense of their most cherished beliefs, feel compelled to chuckle at your being laughed out of town.

In short, Raja, you are an idiot. Face the truth.

You have not explained why both petitions started by you on behalf of two organizations, have been closed. You owe it to all lovers of free speech and antihinduism.

Are you a supporter of blasphemy of Doniger?

Hey Raja: thanks for the post on “JAIN ENLIGHTENMENT: A Cosmic Way of Life” –

Have to take a break from the TV series and fly to India on another assignment working with the poorest of the poor …

Definately plan to have a cuppa coffee in Delhi and discuss your plans, as you were always a great creative visionary when you arrived in New York from the U.K.

it is easy to learn Yoga although it seems difficult at first try. I practice Yoga mainly for relaxation and for improving my blood circulation.

Many yoga classes are out there, and you may be turned off if you pick one that does not suit your personality and state of physical fitness. For most beginners, a hatha or vinyasa class will be most appropriate, depending on whether you want a slow or fast-paced class. These are basic styles, and you can always try something fancier later.
