General Forum: My Motherland | | Hinduism & Patriotism | |
| I differ with the people who say "Indian culture is not Hindu culture". As Ravi said Hinduism is not only a religion but is life style. As Gopi was stressing, it taught us the behavior.
The idea of linking religion with nation is the significance of India lies in its culture which has basically come from the Hinduism.
Ms. Snigdha rightly pointed out that National interests are important to us, the religion comes later.If a particular nation is against our country, we must save our country from that country. If other religions other than Hindu are creating problems to our nation, our concentration refined to those religions. In those other religions, if a particular religion is a problem to our nation..we try to concentrate and try to save our nation from it. And the similar analysis applies to a particular person aswell.
Now see where exactly our situation is. The neighbouring country is creating problems to us. This is evident. Our first fight is against that country. The religion of that country is encouraging terrorism in our country with the help of the same religion people who are in India which is not acceptable. The second fight is obviously on that....
I will continue it..........

if any one have complete understanding about HINDUISM they don’t criticize the statement “INDIAN CULTURE IS HINDU CULTURE”.
HINDUISM is not a religion it is a life style. And it is not one two days or one two hundred years old, MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND we are practicing those teaching, any HINDU priest teaches against other religions or homeland???
What is wrong in narrating unacceptable anti nationalists?
Why today people want to separate Hinduism form India??

hey this is not fair.........asking telugupeople.com gals ..... if they know about festivals.....yes we know about all festivals. Though i personally belong to rayalaseema i know about bonalu,atla taddi which are not so very well celebrated here.
We too went to christian schools but it never restricted us to learn geetha or to go to temples. We too had our own share of fun during sankranti and dussehra.....raatri 1 or 2 varaku chalilo muggulu vesi ......and after getting up first thing which we used to do was to rush out to see our rangoli and compare with others and to keep gobbemmalu also .
And now coming to bhogipalla pandaga its not for elders but for kids. Memandaru bhogi pallu poyinchukunnavallame and i still remember going for 50 paise or one rupee coins which they used to mix with regipallu and cheruku...i think now kids here will go for quarter coins and dollar coins. We have bommala koluvu during dussehra time(think differs from region to region).
I think enough of talking about festivals ......the fact is it dosen't matter to which school u go ..... u should have interest in ur culture and tradition and ofcourse a whole lot depends on elders. Gudiki velli rendu chetulato namaskaram pettakunda cross namaskaram pedithe(which they do in church), its the duty of elders to correct them. Very recently i attended a marriage in banglore and the bride was chewing a bubblegum all the time . I heard others talking "she is an nri what can we expect"? What a sad state of affair.
Finally what i personally feel is a whole lot depends on the attitude of the individual irrespective of going to a christian school ,hindu school or living in USA.

hey,
I wonder how patriotism is linked to a religion or minorites.
well, everyone has a right to spread their religion and its nothing wrong if the missionary schools do spread Cristianity. That is for what they get funds. Neither can one stop minorities for exercising their rights.
But its true that these days "patriotism" is lacking in students. (Whether it is in a missionary school or in a general school (other than govt schools)). So govt must take steps regarding that. It is responsibity of everyone of us to educate the young ones regarding these things.
Lets do that.
And let us not give hard statements like "Indian culture is Hindu culture" or people who love India are Hindus etc etc. It doesn't make sense.
Enjoy!

Gopi,
Sorry if I differ with your opinion. If parents want their children to follow our culture and other stuff, let them not join their children in that kind of schools. As everybody know, they are funded and run by Christian organizations in our country. In that sense, they are following their religion and want those who join there, they must follow the rules and regulations of their religion for the purpose of making intellectuals, professionals. Similarly the Islamic schools if they are running. But as u know the purpose of Islamic schools is totally different. If their says, they must use weapons, that kind of religion is not accepted in India and the people who follow that kind of religions must be expelled from our country, so we must join hands to do that in the interest of our nation
as our Govt and Police are not that capable.
When it comes to National anthem and Vandemaataram, maa telugu talli, they must follow it as it is general rule applied to all Indian schools. See the problem heirachially.
My point is that the islamic schools are teaching their youth how to use the weapons which might lead to tensions as their intension is to destroy India under the guidance of Islamic terrorists.
One ideal, Excellent, Master mind, the patriotic real Indian, current Defense advisor Abdul Kalam and the people similar to them are included whenever I referred
words like "our", "we" etc.,
"My conclusion is all Real Indians are no doubt Hindus and my definition to Real Indian is whomever strive for his India from birth to death and they must have born in the soil of great minds".
Cheers
