Now look at this...This is only a part!!!
NEW DELHI, India -- In a bid to shun centuries of caste discrimination thousands of India's low-caste Hindus have converted to Buddhism.
India's most disadvantaged community, Hindu Dalits, defied police restrictions and sweltering heat Sunday in a ceremony that they hope will release them from lives marked by discrimination.
Whilst facing a bronze idol of Buddha, bare-headed converts chanted 'we will no longer pray to Hindu gods and goddesses,' and other mantras.
Police fearful of religious clashes dampened the ceremony, billed as the largest mass conversion in the country's history. |

Here.here..
This is why I love my country more than anything else!!!
Many hope the conversion to Buddhism will lead to better treatment and social equality in a country steeped in a 3,000 year-old caste system.
Supporters of conversion say it is more about liberating the minds of individuals and strengthening the belief that their place in society is not pre-ordained, yet even after conversion they are still considered by many Hindus as low caste.
Hindu activists closely allied to members of the governing political party Bharatiya Janata Party have often opposed conversions, including moves towards Christianity from a religion set at birth. |

Indians believe AIDS can be cured automatically .. lolz
Amit, a 22-year-old driver working on the 1,200-mile run between Delhi and Calcutta, candidly tells me he has been paying for sex 'every two or three days' since he had started as a driver at 18. He also admitted he had twice developed garmi - a Hindi word meaning 'heat' that is a euphemism for gonorrhoea and syphilis - which is common among drivers who eventually contract HIV. 'I've refused to take the blood tests for Aids as I'm not worried. If I was going to get the disease I would have it by now. I've had other diseases and recovered quickly. I'm young, so I don't see why I have to change my habits.' |
