Stress and anxiety can make you feel angry or sad at times when you’d never normally feel that way, and it can cause major losses in focus for people with lots of responsibilities to keep track of.2227546669 VIEW MORE:- <a href="https://themindtreat.com/" rel="nofollow">best counsellor in noida</a><br />visits of indiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439132659680599200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-85182682417372493132013-12-04T02:40:19.596-08:002013-12-04T02:40:19.596-08:00Hinduism is so complex and so multi-faceted that f...Hinduism is so complex and so multi-faceted that few Hindus actually understand their own religion, philosophy, culture, social mores and the like. This is especially true of educated secularized Hindus, whose knowledge of their own cultural past is shallow. One can hardly expect such an empathy from a film director like Danny Boyle. In fact, the most vicious attack on the Hindu ethos come from people who are born Hindus or are nominaly Hindus. It is rather infrequent, at least in India, that a person who intellectually attacks the Hindus is a non-Hindu. All these people know that the Hindus are too unorganised to retaliate with fatwas and bombs.Gururaj B Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964816448433835494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-4691625150047356122013-11-26T03:28:01.303-08:002013-11-26T03:28:01.303-08:001.

See Indian government's labor ministry data and social HDI surveys for last 15 years.<br /><br />2. Arranged marriage, as well as child marriage rates are highest among Muslims, in India and worldwide. Majority of these Muslim arranged marriages are within family, as cousin and other consanguineous marriages. See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3419292/<br /><br />3. It is true that Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and even Buddhists are defamed and disorganized. They suffer stereotypes, hate stories, media spins at much higher rates than other major religions. Jains and Sikhs are small in numbers, a smaller target but suffer as much. Hindus are more numerous, more common targets.<br /><br />Given Hindu's beautiful concept of non-violence (ahimsa), retaliation or violence of any form is uncommon, culturally unacceptable and inappropriate. That leaves peaceful protests, perhaps combined with sanctions - that is, refusal to do business with people or companies or media who distort, spin, bash and slander Hindus. Or anyone for that matter. <br /><br />Violence of any form - physical, words or emotions - should never be acceptable. The principles of Ahimsa - injure no one by your action, words or in your thoughts - apply not only to others in one's life, but also to oneself. Human history tells us that defamation and dehumanization through slander is a prelude to greater and sustained victimization.<br /><br />A polite, love-inspired protest and refusal to accept hate, is necessary, and often sufficient. At least protest letters, getting officials and peers involved, letting the tormentor know his or her error, questioning their conscience is the minimum Hindus must do.Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687845102811849258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138082354348831474.post-67680114389115522982013-11-25T17:29:36.373-08:002013-11-25T17:29:36.373-08:00what you remark is absolutely true about the "...what you remark is absolutely true about the "cultured soft Hindu" but it is not just the battle with outside forces it is also a battle raging inside.<br /><br />It is all very well to say one is defending Hinduism and speak in radically extreme positions but Krishna's breaking of the rules in the Mahabharata was sophisticated and complex.<br /><br />what happens when the democratised crude uncultivated group routinely bases it's idea of virtue on what has been created and what in spirit it destroys.The aesthetics of our ashrams in contrast with our temples in the south and in Kedarnath, a good example of what I am talking about....Concrete ugliness is the word not Aranyakas reinvented!This is the dilemma of trying to seeking a middle path.<br /><br />Elite gurus get the kudos from the extreme Hindu right and are found preaching "peace" and visiting the Badshahi mosque in Lahore.<br /><br />For real people who want to match Hindu self-respect with commonsense and a liking for Moorish motifs....the road is hard and untravelled.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Rita Narayananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571424829504222267noreply@blogger.com
