    Upper cast and lower cast or casteism is almost vanished in India. Now think of suicide bombing in mosque by Shia and sunni like it happend in kuwait in Shia mosque during Ramadan.

    I don't think shia sunni applicable in India.where sadwi keep bomb in mecca masjid, purohith in ajmeer , godra by chaddis and supporting so called nationalist.

    Indians scared about sanghi terrorist not out side terrorist.

    So we recommend to arrest these goons to have peaceful BHARATH.

    The Congress Party, headed by the Italian Catholic Sonia and her corrupt political cronies are always anti Hindu. Hindus should unit now and wipe out this corrupt minority appeasement Congress throughout Bharat.

    Dear Manju,
    I apprehensive about your dream come true any time soon, ... so long as the law of the land uphold the secular credentials.

    b'coz the problem is.., the self proclaimed nationalist organisation (...in doubt after lalitgate episode) RSS consider (with whom BJP's umbilical cord is embedded..., i may be wrong also) Hindu's as nationalist & patriots only if they support political outfit called BJP.
    Hence the divide among Hindu's is very much open, wide & deep within based on political affiliation.

    We all know that the - 1st round fight in Delhi election : AAP made BJP bit dust
    2nd round Comming soon in Bihar -
    - BJP is expected to go into oblivion (less than 25 seats).

    Delhi case is different. Now Delhi- ites understood about Kejriwal. All they want was free or half rate. BJP purposely loose the election by experimenting Kiran Bedi as CM. Bihar is different, sure they will vote BJP with majority because of Modi. The Lalit Modi issue happened during UPA government not during Modi govt.

    Why do we need debate on Bhagavad Gita ?? It is a sacred book for Millions of Hindus like Bible and Quran to Christians & Muslims. If few people like Bagvan don't believe in Gita it's their choice but why opposing if we want to follow Gita & its principles.

    Since bulk of the population are believers of some ideology, debates are nice. Political parties should not come in the way of free speech and sharing of ideas. At the end of the event it is left for the population to accept it or reject it.

    Prof K S Bhagwan and his followers are compledtly idiot and stupid gang....

    For publicity, he was ready to burn Bhagawad Gita. He should have been punished at that time...

    We all, including most of the sensible Indian population, strongly believe that every religious texts, be it Gita, Quran, Bible.. all are symbolic and we cannot take a literal meaning out of it. Each book has good information as well as controversial statements... At current age, we the people need to be intelligent to take only the relevant meaning what is required for us...

    People like Bhagwan are so called as Dalit leaders have great responsibility to make betterment of Dalit population and uplift them. Instead, these people are spending time in cheap stunts such as above....

    Pure waste of time....

    Dear Bhakt's,

    In my opinion the oppression of dalit community by upper class through the system of varna bheda neethi prompted dalits, somehow caused to loose faith in religion.
    this will change only when upper class come to the temple to take prasadam from the hands of dalit purohits.
    BJP is doing a great job in this regard (B Janardan Poojary - a man of impeccable social reformer)

    First see how many of them have read the Gita.To speak in favor and against are from the same community and the ugly outcome will be blamed on Siddaramaih, saying that he is anti Hindu. Bjp backed organizations organize these type of programmes to make things ans situation more complicated. Well done Mysuru police. Baghvad Gita is a holy book for Hindus and why should any body speak against it.
