HINDU?
An emphatic YES!
Recent article by CHAN_Akya in Deccan chronicle caught My eye.
this is about Rahul gandhi being a parama Shiva Bhakth.
Interesting observations .
"In a globalised world, where instantaneous and relentless information flows enable the world to observe in detail how Indian democracy plays out, are religion, caste and money power the only issues that animate the political class? For days now, the prime time debate on TV is about whether Rahul Gandhi is a Hindu or not. Registers are being pulled out to see whether he signed on the one meant for non-Hindus or for Hindus. His assertion that he is a Hindu, and a Shiva bhakt, has become grist for a kind of politics in which the selective use of religious exclusion is far more important than issues about the performance of a government. It would appear to any foreign observer that in India elections are not about such vital issues as the state of the economy, and the fulfilment of promises that touch the lives of ordinary Indians — roads, hospitals, schools, jobs, agricultural productivity — but about who, among Hindus, is a real Hindu. The simulated furore this issue has created is amusing, to say the least. Buddhism began by negating the basic tenets of Hinduism, including the sanctity of the Vedas, and yet many Hindus consider Lord Buddha to be an avatar of Vishnu. For a religion so tenaciously accommodative to deviations — because of the inherent beliefs in its own strengths — to be reduced in the hands of cynical politicians to such an abysmal level of illiterate rejection is an insult to Hinduism. And yet, the juvenile debate goes on, even as the citizens of the country wonder when real issues that directly affect the quality of their lives will be discussed. "
