Dear Anirudh & Ragini
                     I beleive there are two aspects to your posting 
expressing disgust.

1. How relegious a person should be?

2. Abstaining from debates involving controversial issues.

I'm fully with Anirudh when it comes to the former aspect. I defenitely 
belong to your bandwagon. God fearing and not an ateist (I assume naastik 
means atheist. Pardon me, not a natural Hindi bhashi) but secular and 
practical when it comes to every day life. I'm strongly of the opinion that 
religious faith should be only a guiding factor. It does not mean that one 
should strictly adhere to a holy scripture (or Kitab in the words of MC 
Gupta)

However I differ when it comes to the latter. Just because a topic is 
controversial doesn't warrant a complete taboo on deating it. Not everything 
around us are cosy and warm. Be it plight of women, bride burning, 
fundamentalism, religion etc, just because the subjects are dark and 
controversial doesnt nullify the ground reality. We the educated lot should 
have the ability to judge matters and events based on its merits. The 
problem crops up when emotions overrule better senses and one stops low and 
indulge in mud slinging. But a politically correct approach of abtaining 
from such scenarios is not the right thing to do, at least from my view 
point. Also benefits can be derived out of mud slinging. Isn't the popular 
technique "brain-storming" all about that?

Anyone free to correct me if wrong.


Bye
