Baring Faith to Uproot Belief: Agenda for Religious Reversions

That the jihadi Islam, to paraphrase in Telugu, has become the chaapa kinda neeru (stealthily spreading water under the mat) and its fidayeen lurk in every nook and corner of the globe, is a common knowledge for long. But yet, the non-Muslim world, despite the outsider advantage, remains clueless to confront, much less contain, this unremitting scourge. That is in part, geopolitics apart, is owing to an inadequate appreciation of this debilitating Islamic phenomenon, and this is but an attempt .

Semitic Faiths ‘n Sanatan Dharma: A Simple Study of Contrasts

The vital difference between the Sanatana dharma and the Semitic faiths lies in the concurrent philosophical stream of the former and the abject absence of the same in the latter that the Roberto Baggio episode amply underscores.

Going by this analogy, God must be hanged over and again to meet the ends of justice of those who perish in the Act of God Perils such as typhoons, floods et al. How absurd. The cruelty of the capital punishment lies not only in inflicting an unnatural death upon the convict but also in the inimical life he is forced to lead before it ends on the gallows.

On Attitude to Money

“It’s the character of money to corrupt the ardent, tease the vacillating and curse the indifferent. That way, there seems to be no escape for man from money.
