In reply to Mr Jubel D’Cruz’s letter dated 17th June one can keep healthy even if he does not eat beef or pork. The scriptural injunctions of any faith had not to seek support of scientific basis which are diverse and full of changes, and as such unreliable. They are not blind faiths, but are staunch principles guiding the followers to achieve profound advantages to society. To speak against such religious tenets is sheer blasphemy.
The constitution of India considers all faiths equally. Mr Modi and his followers love all. Mr Modi has given Bhagavat Gita as a gift to the Japanese PM on the ground of his Hindu religion, one of the indigeneous faiths in India. The British people have their Christianity in their British constitution and democratic government, and Mr Modi follows the democracy given by the mother of Parliament in Britain and asserts the indigenous faith’s ‘Hindutva’ as his right.
Anybody would agree with the author’s statement that all people of different faiths are responsible for India’s over population. Mr Modi’s supporters believe in his policy. People realise the benfit of his demonitisation a step towards eliminating corruption.
Study of all religious text books should be compulsory in all schools, so that students can make comparative study to have choice of his faith.
The author can site other worst Indian PMs as he blames.
