In respect to a lively group discussion on Indian
mythological characters, I just could not resist
airing how gross it was:
Its time to introspect once again. Time to question
the canons that established and sustained the ruling
classes, via the use of extremely discriminatory
organized religions of the world (Hinduism is one of
the largest, of course).
A religion having its exclusive biases, fanatic
repercussions, and redundant lessons has become the
centerstage of our discussions.
Religions provide all the answers, I guess, from what
we are discussing. Just wondering if we are asking
the right questions?
For a change, we have another four years of George
Bush coming to power. How will Orissa be affected?

And for a quoter-reversal: in context, from Krishna
to Marx
'Philosophers have only interpreted the world. its
time to change it..."
