a Taliban face for Hindus as Vedas are turning into quran slowly.

My remarks might seem to aggressive but there is some views i would like you to read before you turn to next page or before you send a threatening email to me. You might have heard of Sri Ram Sene group active in Manglore. It was in news in past month for thrashing girls in a pub, abducting a girl and a boy, just because this girl was talking to this Muslim boy and finally for publically humiliating two girls and a boy in which case one girl committed suicide. That's a kind of moral policing which probably nobody wants but nobody can't do anything. We, the common people, can't do anything because we are not united, or police will take action against us if we do. Politicians won't do anything because, hey, why would they want to ruin their vote bank? Police won't do because "unke paas oopar se order nahi hai!"
Well, forget who does what. I guess you can easily extrapolate the activities of Sene and see that finally what you get is a Hindu Taliban ruling over us, the common Indian chickens. "Aurat ghar main hi achchhi lagti hai" (women's place is home) ....Well, that's what Sri Ram Sene wants and that was the philosophy of Taliban and actually still is in many countries, Saudi Arab being top at list.

Taliban treated women like this because of the misinterpretation of Quran. Quran is certainly very old and the language used in it is difficult or words are obsolete. Because of this, many verses in Quran are ambiguous and are left for a individual's ability to interpret them. And That's why Muslim countries differ so much in their laws towards freedom of women.

While attending saraswati puja in my college, i was listening to a young pundit who was chanting mantras very fast and even forgot a few lines in between. Every time he missed a line, he would repeat the complete mantra, clearly showing that he had a hard time remembering them. I wondered he even knew what those mantras mean. And if he didn't how would any one else know, after all sanskrit language is something none except pundits is supposed to understand.
Whole indian culture, perfect ways of living, traditions, is written in 4 Vedas and 18 Purans. But unfortunately, these great books are written in Sanskrit, which as said above is obsolete. It was never a language of common man. Only elite group in our society was taught Sanskrit. That elite group consisted of Brahmins and Rajas. Now as I see, it is rare to come across a person knowing Sanskrit. I met only three such persons in my life who were my Sanskrit Teachers. And from that two knew Sanskrit just good enough to teach us from prescribed textbooks.
So without the knowledge of Sanskrit, who is going to interpret Vedas in their correct sense. Who will be able to read the part where Nari ( woman) is compared with Devi (goddess). I guess nobody. That's why groups like Sri Ram Sene are interpreting Vedas in their self-suiting manners.
All I say, let us HINDU not become a synonym of TALIBAN. Do not forget the original sense of Hindus religion and of Vedas. Do something.
