[Assam] Beef eating; Much ado over nothing

[Chan Mahanta]

Hi Ram:

You got it all wrong.

It has nothing to do with BASHING Hinduism or Hindus, but everything 
to do with challenging them to be what they are more than capable of. 
But there-in lies the problem: Hindus' cavalier, even fake, fealty to 
what they wave as their faith. Where are the 'Hindu' intellectuals 
challenging those whom you attempt to portray as "fringe" or 
extremist elements, conniving to change history, or to hide what 
stares them in the face? They would like their faith to be taken 
seriously, admired, while they will not stand up to do what is right.

Until Hindu intellectuals can accept their charge and challenge of 
leading their fellow men to a higher plane, Hinduism will continue to 
remain where it withers, getting to be the laughing stock of all 
those who can think.

Take care,

c-da
