Image
    In India, there are a number of religions that are living under the same sovereign means the “Constitutions of India”. Constitution provides fundamental rights and legal rights to the citizens and every person who is living in India.   The majority religion in India is Hindu dharma and in Hindu dharma, there are many gods or goddesses. Different sects of Hindu dharma preach different gods or goddesses and every sect has there one KULDEVI or KULDEVTA. When we talk about West Bengal’s people, they preach KALI MATA and in North India, most Hindus preach GAURI MATA. Ramakrishna Paramhansa who was known as GURU of Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramhansa was an Indian Hindu mystic and religious leader who lived in the 19th century Bengal. He was the devotee of KALI MATA and once he said that "I do not worship Kali made of clay and straw. My Mother is the conscious principle. My Mother is pure Satchidananda — Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute. That which is infinite a...

Kumbh Mela Is Not Any Better Than The Tablighi Jamaat

Corona knows no god or goddess. It kills regardless of any person’s religion, caste or creed. It is a disease wreaking havoc in unimaginable ways. Yet, what is ironic is the way some select few humans use the situation to manipulate, cheat and deceive other humans to ensure their own survivability. One year since the onslaught, there is now the second wave of corona spread and the numbers have increased to colossal figures. India ranks number two in the world behind America and it has no impact on the Government in its seriousness to combat Corona Virus. Here is the problem with India, on one hand for all it has is a Government filled with old folks who care only about power and politics, and on the other hand there is a flock of sheep that would jump into the well at the mere saying of the people who run the Government. Sandwiched between these two powerhouses are the minority (in terms of people who are educated) who really have an opinion and are of any material value for upholdin...

Are you a citizen of Secular India or a puppet of religion? Does ‘oneness’ is superior or religion is? Why secularism is misused so much? Why do you think that secularism and Islam are not compatible? Recently an advertisement aroused an uproar in the commercial market and various online platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. when Tanishq jewelers launched an advertisement showing a bond between a Muslim mother-in-law and her Hindu pregnant daughter-in-law. In this ad, the th eme is related to promoting and understanding inter-religious faith by holding a ceremony of a baby shower which is Hindu faith practice and not celebrated by Muslims. Why this issue became so tensed that the company has to take down the advertisement for the safety of its employees and staff? Is it right, that on one hand we want unity and equality for all religions and on the other hand, people's sentiments get hurt when unity is portrayed in some way?   As, one set of the viewers of the adver...

RAM MANDIR & BABRI MASJID DISPUTE- THE DISPUTE OF DEITY OR LAND?

Image
One of the longest-running confrontations or battles in the history of India has now settled andthe Supreme Court gave its verdict and allotted the so-called disputed land of 2.77 acres to Ram Janmabhoomi and gave an alternative land of 5 acres to Sunni Waqf Board. But even after the verdict delivered by the court, certain questions remained unaddressed. The history of this case is about 500 years old that began in 1528. Now if we consider this land dispute, the question here is that from when it should be taken into consideration? Whether from 1528 when Babri Masjid was constructed or from 1949 when the idol of Ram was placed or from 1992 when Babri Masjid was finally demolished? The article is an attempt to analyze the Allahabad High Court judgment and why it was not accepted. What the Archaeological Survey of India report stated? Why mediation failed in resolving the dispute? Whether it was actually a land dispute or was a religious dispute? Whether the title of land was involved o...
