Work towards eradicating untouchability: RSS

Press Trust of India
Posted online: Monday, December 12, 2005 at 1124 hours IST


Mumbai, December 12: RSS head K S Sudarshan urged RSS members to strive towards eradicating untouchability in the country.



"Efforts should be made to wipe out the barriers of caste and creed and also to include the socially outcast into the mainstream of society," Sudarshan said while addressing RSS volunteers at Shivaji park in central Mumbai on Sunday evening.

Sudarshan said stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi and Babasaheb Ambedkar, who had attended RSS programmes, had been impressed by the working of the Sangh.

RSS had in its own way, played a part in the struggle for India’s Independence, Sudarshan, the fifth sarsanghchalak of RSS, said.



"At that time, our organisational strength was mostly in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. So, the RSS members participated in the freedom struggle in their individual capacity," Sudarshan said.

RSS volunteers had taken initiative in giving asylum to`satyagrahis' during the freedom struggle, the Sangh chief, who arrived here in the afternoon, said.

BJP leaders Pramod Mahajan and Gopinath Munde participated in the programme as members of the audience.

Good for you...I suggest you immigrate to the land where you can practice your pagan demon-worship with others who do so....

You need to quit reading propaganda..Baptists are the farthest thing from terrorists you will ever find.

Of course, they don't tolerate Pagans, etc....

Now...why am I not suprised to hear such a liberal comment?
Especially since it comes from "Moscow on the Colorado" or the "Peoples Republic of Austin"

Christianity doesn't always mean toleration, especially from demonic religons....

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/para/nlft.htm

The National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) was formed in December 1989 for the purpose of seceding from India in order to create an independent Christian fundamentalist state of Tripura. The group was banned under the Unlawful Activies Prevention Act of 1967.

The headquarters of NLFT is located in the Khagrachari district of Bangladesh, about 40-45 km southeast of Simanapur.

In Tripura a systematic surrender of arms by a faction of NLFT insurgents and NLFT fringe groups is due to the increased security pressure and to infighting within NLFT insurgent ranks. Since 2000 a few hundred militants have surrendered in small groups to the security forces, handing in their weapons. The NLFT leadership engaged in peace talks with Mizoram Chief Zoramthanga in April 2001, however the NLFT has not promised acceptance of any future peace process.

The NLFT has set up a number of camps in Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), in the Sylhet, Maulavi Bazar, Habiganj and Comilla regions. NLFT also has ties with Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter Services Intelligence Agency (ISI).

The NLFT is trying to seccede from India. So, should India fight them?

And my point was that those reports needn't always be propaganda.

Alrighty then. I wouldn't expect much more than that from a Confederate.

Psst, you lost. Slavery is illegal now. Get over it.

Of course violence/persecution against any non-violent faith is always wrong.

"I don't however disagree with the ArchBishop's statements, from a religious perspective he's wholely correct and justified, and he is a religious leader."

So I suppose you would not have much problem if a Hindu religious leader is to say similar things about Christianity.

Anyway I am least bothered about what an ignorant ArchBishop has to say about a religion he knows nothing about.

There are Hindu separatists too, who want to secede because India is secular, and not "Hindu enough". Even they must be violently put down.

The commandment is no God's before the Lord.

If there's no other God's exactly what would you call dieties which are not the Christian God?

To: All

The exchanges on this thread show why organized religion is a scourge on the human race. Essentially what it all boils down to is, "my god is THE God and yours is some form of Satan." Well, who knows for sure? Why can't we all agree to disagree, live and let live and let people worship whatever, whoever and however they choose to?

Give it up people, this is the same sort of crap that feeds the Muslims.

With regard to the post itself, one would think that a man "of the cloth" will preach religious tolerance and love of all people regardless of how misguided he thinks their religious practices are. It may be that this is too much to ask of former Communists. Let the people have their temple unless your God (or your faith) is so insecure that it can't possibly deal with this.

Happy New Year folks.

I'm skeptical at what is and isn't considered on the list but I haven't the time to find any alternative stats today, busy day at work.
