Religion
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time

other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.

has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.

Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
-Deep Trivedi
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
