Re: [MTC Global] Gita in schools? Improper, says CPI-M

If I were a dictator, I will introduce bible for all classes. It has more to learn and all the developed countries have benefited from it. But I will introduce it under any circumstances. Let us create a pluralistic society. Let us not see the world through our own colored goggles of religion of our birth.

I concur with the views of Mr Venkatesh.
God is one and almost all the religions, to the best of knowledge, speak of universal brotherhood. Then what is wrong in prescribing a great epic for reading when it has so much to offer for man management apart from spirit and soul. 
It's high time we come out of our parochial thinking. If there is something to learn from any holy scripture  let's not object to it just for the heck of it.
All the members will agree that all the scriptures whether it is Quran or Guru Grandh or bible including BhagavadGita have so much to offer and guide in our life and to become responsible citizens.

Dear and respected MTCians,

If any doctrine or gospel suggests righteous living, the pseudo- secularists will oppose it. More so, if it is from Hindu scriptures.

The civic and social behavior of man is tending to go down all time low and educational system has a role to stem / correct it. Moral education without quoting prophetical ancient scriptures as reference point or anecdote is not at all wrong. For that matter from any religion.

However, we see the vociferousness of a few whenever Hindu scriptures are quoted. They are silent when other similar references from other religion are quoted.

We have a very perverted definition of SECULARISM, particularly in our country.

Let noble thoughts come from wherever is the first verse from RIG VEDA. 

"Let noble thoughts come from wherever" here is SECULARISM but when you say,  it is from "RIG VEDA", it becomes communal or anti-secularism.

Regards,

S Venkatesh

New Delhi, Aug 3: The CPI-M Sunday described as "improper and unwarranted" Supreme Court judge A.R. Dave's suggestion that the Gita and the Mahabaratha should be taught in schools.

 

"What Justice Dave has advocated is religious instruction in all schools from Class I. Compulsory religious instruction in government schools violates the basic secular principle enshrined in the constitution," the Communist Party of India-Marxist said.

 

"It is unfortunate that a sitting judge of the Supreme Court propounds his personal views which go against the grain of the secular democratic constitutional principle which he as a judge is expected to uphold," said a party statement.

 

Judge Dave said here Saturday: "Had I been the dictator of India, I would have introduced the Gita and Mahabharata in Class I. That is the way you learn how to live life. I am sorry if somebody says I am secular or I am not secular. But we have to get good things from everywhere."
