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. ] |
