Sugata Bose @Joyaditta Brahmachari : Yes, that is the point implied here as well. In fact, this over-identification as a religious community has been the bane of this community and unless they reverse stance, they will fall behind other communities more and more in an increasingly globalised and cosmopolitan world ruled by science and rational philosophy.

Sugata Bose @Joydeep Das : You are right in your perception, too, for it is engendered out of your experience. It is true that this tag is antithetical to social cohesion and was long back remarked upon by Sri Ramakrishna when the seer had said that these names, 'Hindu', 'Muslim' etc. had lost their power for good and were in the modern age divisive forces. No wonder the Avatar of Dakshineshwar had forged future bonds among the various communities of the world by entering into austere practice of the different faiths successively and attesting to their relative truths, one and all. We are on the verge of entering modernity of mind, although, technologically we are already there. But modern thinking is yet alien to most and the sooner regressive distinctive tags disappear, the better for the future evolution of integrated humanity.

Sugata Bose @Subrata Ghosh Just an aside. Let us be God-loving instead of God-fearing which is a Semitic concept and not a Sanatan one.

Sugata Bose @Raka Bhattacharya : You are right and you may read my comments above in this regard. The last point of distinctive separation to prevent the corruption of conversion to take to its roguish course is pertinent indeed.

Sugata Bose @Bhaskar Nath : Yes, so it unfortunately is in a vast number of cases for their religious indoctrination necessarily takes them along that path despite some of their tallest pious protestations which are often pretentious.

Sugata Bose @Bhaskar Nath : I agree and am well aware of this fact of over-emphasis, almost overwhelming emphasis, on their religious identity by the Muslims.

Sugata Bose @Sshivani Durga : How? By disenfranchising them and taking away their citizenship? A traitor to a nation, if he/she is a citizen of a country, may have to court the severest punishment, depending on the offence, but, nonetheless, remains a citizen.

Sugata Bose @Satadru Sovon Ghosh : For this to happen, if at all in the foreseeable future, Hindus will also have to play their part beyond just criticising the Muslims or pandering to their vanity -- the two extremes of human behaviour -- and create through their proper practice of the dharma an atmosphere of righteousness which will make Hindu influence overwhelming. It is only then that Indian Muslims may be absorbed within the vaster Hindu fold as it had happened in the case of latter-day Buddhism when they were reconverted to Hinduism from their earlier number of 2/3 of the country's population to almost cipher thereafter. Thus was Hinduism saved but did not learn its lesson in abstinence from infliction of self-injury which made Islam and Christianity overrun it. What is needed in the Hindus today is that they stop pointing so many fingers at others while idling away time in frivolous and futile pursuits, and go back to austere practice of the yogas that will empower them to rightly resist the corruption of conversion to the Islamic fold.

Sugata Bose @Subrata Sengupta : A righteous Government that does not persecute its own citizens ought to exhibit such a moral courage and fulfil its responsibilities thus on an international scale. It must regularly voice its concerns by highlighting these issues but then it has to itself stand on the secure ground of fulfilling its human obligations at home. Whether individuals object to the adoption of such a stance or not may influence governmental decisions on purely political grounds but it, nonetheless, remains governmental duty to look to the security of its human affiliates in other countries where on a regular basis they are persecuted. That the Indian Government is at last adopting measures that are bringing these matters to the fore may raise a furore over it but the move in terms of pure principle is praiseworthy, although, its internal clauses on the whole may be subject to debate.

Sugata Bose @Pankaj Burman : Can you prove that Netaji or Gandhiji were British agents that you so ascribe this epithet on them, either singly or in unison?

Sugata Bose @Aabir Chattaraj : But beggars nonetheless.

Sugata Bopse @Aabir Chattaraj : Who you call sadhus, those corrupt ones, I call them businessmen as well.

Sugata Bose @Aabir Chattaraj : There we converge at last. And it always is so. Convergence is the ultimate outcome of evolution followed to conclusion.

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : Please ask the Ramakrishna Mission to change the word 'Hinduism' to 'Sanatan Dharma' in 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda' where repeatedly the Swami uses the word 'Hinduism'. I am well aware of the real word 'Sanatan Dharma' but must use the word 'Hinduism' so long as it is in vogue and makes people relate to what I am saying better. Also, usages cannot be neglected in literature till they are absolutely outdated and have fallen into disuse.

Sugata Bose @Partha Pratim Adhikary : Partha Pratim Adhikary Swami also said, "I am proud to be a Hindu.'' He did not say, "I am proud to be a Sanatani" as is currently the usage in the parlance of many.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : You did not fully comprehend the spirit and content of the post. Read it again. I have said, 'the entire culture of the land whose soul is in Hinduism'. The entire culture of the land would necessarily include all strands of historical development in India including those of other religions and philosophies which, sadly speaking, are terribly exclusive though, for what else is Hinduism but the gamut of human spiritual experience and the whole spectrum of relative and absolute truth? This has got nothing to do with politics and its aberrations. Whether India emerges with time a Hindu Rashtra or not is not known to me, neither its outcome for good or for evil. But what I have stressed is that real good cannot be done in India without absorbing, assimilating and giving effect to the grand spiritual-cultural principles and traditions which are intrinsic to its prolonged life as a civilisation. Hence, politics is not what ought to be read in this post by my own assertion and I say so in the capacity of authoring this post which would surely make me cognisant of its intent. My posts in general you may have seen are varied and written from all perspectives, whatever I deem is good for humanity, especially in my motherland. May God bless you !
P.S. The soul of India's culture is in Hinduism, true, but the body of that culture, its limbs and organs, tissues and cells, are spread all over. Tagore has mellifluously sung it in our national anthem's original extended poetic version entitled 'Bharatvarsha'. But at the same time I wish to add that by rejecting Hinduism no real good can be done to India for that would be antithetical to the very essence of what India has through millenia stood for. And the best illustration of it is the Partition of India which took place at the behest of an exclusive system of religious thinking which deems Hinduism to be idolatrous and false, and worthy of being destroyed through mass conversion to the proselytising, exclusive fold of Islam. The same holds true for proselytising Christianity as well and worst of all are the communists in this regard who preach a vicious materialism in the name of bringing socioeconomic justice and are hell bent on destroying religion itself. So much for communist sympathies for inclusiveness. I rest my case here with good wishes to you once again.

Sugata Bose @Swami Sampurnananda Puri : You did not quite get the import of what I had sarcastically meant in my earlier comment with reference to this overstressing of the word 'Sanatan Dharma' in place of 'Hinduism' and in relation to my referring the concerned gentleman to addressing the issue with the Ramakrishna Mission instead of me, for that would be 'working at source' as one would say. However, I am used to my verbal intent being misinterpreted all the time by quick-responsive online readers and 'commentators' thereon. I was merely saying that to use the word 'Hindu' or 'Hinduism' as Swami Vivekananda used was perfectly in place even today and need not draw resistive response each time when verbal usages are often at variance with their original source word. That is all that I meant and no more. However, from a purely objective standpoint what you are stating is perfectly valid and must be adhered to. Text-tampering is not permissible from the standpoint of the representation of historical truth and from the standpoint of the implications thereof. To sum it up let us say unitedly, ''Leave Vivekananda alone and may the 'Incomplete Works of Swami Vivekananda' seek completion in the truest sense of the term.''

Sugata Bose @Swami Sampurnananda Puri : I was talking of the deliberate gaps created in print by the Mission in many of the Swami's speeches to avoid political controversies, no doubt an expedient move to foster communal harmony but at the cost of rendering the original rendition somewhat devoid of the primal fire.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : This saving of humanity is a complex issue and does not merely involve the political man and the economic man but the social man, the intellectual man, the moral man and the spiritual man as well. To reduce this resolved complexity called man into compartments which are mutually exclusive and in violation of each other's right to exist is a dangerous proposition and this is what has been seen in the modern history of revolution beginning with the French and followed by the Russian, the Chinese and the like. All such changes are historically driven and by forces that can but surface only by displacing others which have blocked their way thus far. So, feudalism had dealt the death-blow to priest-craft in its original state and made common cause with it with the tussle for supremacy raging for ages till the feudal class got the better of their erstwhile adversaries and reduced them to their aids in oppression of the common man. Ages later the Industrial Revolution came and dealt the death-blow to feudalism in its existent state to usher in the nation state. It was a violent turnaround of things, a revolution or a 180 degrees cyclical rotation where the high were reduced to dust even as the low were raised to a semblance of violent and barbaric humanity. Marx came as the logical development of the historical process and laid down his elaborate theory based on his lifelong research into the heart of European political life dating two millenia. He enunciated principles and programmes which were carried out with their violent effects and aberrations by men equally violent in mentality and attitudes and in the action thereof. Religion was crushed wherever communism made its way and capitalism was rooted out to be replaced by state holdings. What Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Guevara and the like did is but every child's knowledge and hundreds of millions were raised from barbaric servitude of ages to a quasi-scientific barbaric civilisation called the communist mode of living where an equal tens of millions were executed and nations reduced to a savage despair. The very theory of communism based on rank materialism and justifying violence of a brutal order to attain ends was responsible for this human disaster even as it for the first time duly highlighted the equally barbaric scientific drainage of blood of the masses by the syringe of capitalism. Now where lies the solution? Despite humanity's tallest claims to science and civilisation, in real terms it is still the rule of the mighty. Nations armed to the teeth with military arsenal rule the world. 'Might is right' is still the dominant active principle despite the facade of the United Nations and Peace Conferences duping men into meek acquiescence of the powers that be. Indeed, where lies the solution? Capitalism is a necessary evolutionary evil and so has communism been. One has to wait for evolution to roll out in millenia hence, perhaps, an order of humanity that is better equipped to face the challenges of these killing inequalities that are due to last now and for the foreseeable future if humanity survives the environmental challenges till then, that is, for the inertia of ages imply will not go despite revolution. Unless mass human character changes to churn out millions of noble men and women, there seems to be little chance of this predatory behaviour in men changing to the more enlightened mode of selflessness and service. India resolved this issue theoretically and largely practically, too, ages ago but then even in India with the developing complexity of society what gross injustices the lower classes had to endure for ages. Let us brood on these issues and instead of arriving at definite conclusions based on prior indoctrination, let us keep finding solutions and activating them so that a new wave of humanity strikes the hearts and minds of those surrounding us to in turn build up the altering human movement. My heartiest commendations to you for being a perceptive reader for you are a thinker after all. May God bless you and yours whose limits you have set for yourself to include the entire body politic of the masses the world over !

Sugata Bose @Tapan Kumar Chatterjee : তপনবাবু, আপনিও আছেন এই মিশনকর্তৃক গঠিত চরিত্রের দলে ।

Sugata Bose @Sulekha Basu : You write beautifully. Very intelligent and creative. Keep it up. God bless you !

Sugata Bose @Subrata Sengupta : All of these separate aims may have been simultaneously true for they may have been cooperative. The medical question I have raised to elicit a response from the doctors who may have something to say in this regard based on their knowledge of the anatomy, its functioning and its probable reactions to certain physiological conditions brought about by certain ways of living.

Sugata Bose @Narayanan Gandhi : Read 'The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda' in print. You will find it 'filled' with such gaps. The adjective 'deliberate' need not be taken to imply anything vicious but merely means that such omissions have been made to suit convenience of compromise in community living to avoid communal crisis at places and to maintain the privacy of personalities as in the gaps kept in the epistles of Swamiji or where mere initials have substituted the names. Overall, as I have said, the Mission has done what it has done with due consideration as to consequence no doubt but the fact remains that these glaring gaps are there and anybody who has been thorough in his study of Swamiji's Complete Works will have noticed it over and over again.

Sugata Bose @Swami Sampurnananda Puri : But the original manuscripts are not available. They are with the Mission. In that case let them release them for everybody's perusal.

Sugata Bose @Partha Gupta : Come on, there are so many fake ones masquerading as messiahs of the masses. The latter part of your statement I agree with, though.

Sugata Bose @Partha Gupta : I am talking about these wholesale fraudulent people who are duping the masses with their gibberish in the name of wisdom in words which are unlived in their own lives.

Sugata Bose : @Pulak Ghosh : হতভাগা এই সব লোক, শ্রদ্ধাবিবর্জিত আহাম্মক ! ব্রহ্মচর্যের একান্ত অভাবে বাঙালির একাংশের আজ এই অবস্থা, একথা স্বয়ং স্বামীজীই বলে গেছেন ।

Sugata Bose @Jeevesh Saini : Idle? Ideal? Idol? Good one if you really cracked it on intent. Idle worshipping !

Sugata Bose @Sulekha Basu : You are a marvel. God bless you !

Sugata Bose @Jeevesh Saini : I do worship what idolatrous critics term idols but what I deem to be palpable reality.

Sugata Bose @Pankaj Gupta : I hope you got the implicit sarcasm of the whole matter.

Sugata Bose @Aniket Dey : For future survival. Either you grow or you diminish. It is not merely a question of numbers but it is a question of increasing or decreasing influence. Small nations may also influence large on account of better cohesion and concentration of forces. But in the case of us, Hindus, we are ever declining in influence in the world and in our country as well on account of diverse reasons whose discussion I exhort you all to enter into and illumine us all.

Sugata Bose @Shakkeela Ambattuvalappil : You are so humorous as always and so carrying in your message thereby.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : Just trying to trigger a discussion in these days of blurred idealism and intent and action thereof in the hope that sanity prevails.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : Post colonisation by the British. The exact date is not known to me. But by 'Hindu' is meant here those who have held and hold the Vedas as sacrosanct.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : I see you see my response in an altered light, sensing the caustic humour in it, perhaps, and I commend you for it. This is how social discourse ought to be with mutual respect and good humour spicing up dialogue instead of scurrilous speech soiling it.

Sugata Bose @Tapan Padhi : Read my earlier response. Post colonisation by the British this term has become a part of the modern world lexicon. Of course, the term 'Hindu', as you rightly have averred, is an aberration from medieval times or, perhaps, even earlier, of the name 'Sindhu' which underwent mispronounced rebirth thus. The Arabs and the Turks and the Iranians called India 'Hindustan'.

Sugata Bose @Dip Ur : Who knows the future though? What lies ahead is shrouded in dense cover and one may not peep into the future with any sense of perceptive satisfaction, for the possibilities are latent and the variables beyond the count of man.

Sugata Bose @Dip Ur : True. They are very committed to their religion and their religious cause, that of spreading their faith across the world till the world is a religious monolith, an impossible dream for them to achieve for they themselves are a greatly fractured lot with sects inimical to each other and bent upon mutual annihilation. But the average Muslim, I must say, is very committed to his faith and observes much more diligently his various religious disciplines. The average Muslim is also very reverent in his religious dealings but when alien influences come upon him from abroad, he loses his mind and it is then that mischief-mongers play their vicious cards upon an otherwise peaceful polity. It is politics that rules the roost then and perverts the pious citizen into collective frenzy whose sad reflection and reality we have seen in the Partition of India. Thus, I feel politics must always be done on secular lines of economics and religion must be left out of it to avoid this dangerous and explosive mix which can tear communities apart and terribly weaken a nation. But this is possible only when enlightened leaders with a clear future view of man come along and implement measures which are progressive and not so religiously regressive as to take us to the dark ages. May God grant us wisdom and vision to chart out our future course through this meandering maze called life !

Sugata Bose @Subhadeep Banerjee : Oh ! Is it so? Then, perhaps his communist affiliation prompts him to ideologically perceive Netaji thus and articulate likewise.

Sugata Bose @Nirmal Kumar Dey : What about it? Are their ideologies more significant than Swamiji's and Shankaracharya's in case you deem them to be different or if at all they are indeed different? Age-old India's ideology is going to triumph for sure. Read the Svadesh Mantra of Swamiji. See if Tagore's and Netaji's ideology perfectly tallies with it or not. If not, then Swamiji's will surely still prevail for it the Rishi's insight into India's heritage and destiny and not an yet perfectible human being's, and, hence, inviolable by all means. History will fulfil Swamiji's prophecy about the resurrection of the Sanatan Dharma and the rise of India like never before with Vedanta brain and Islam body.

Sugata Bose @Sipra Banerji : So, Netaji was murdered, according to you, which means that he has been long dead. Right? Or, perhaps, you would like to elaborate further.

Sugata Bose @Swapan Pal : Are you a student of the Vedanta? If so, please take care to spread the message through social media as much as you can. That is as much an individual can do. The rest depends on the resolution of historical forces and the will of God.

Sugata Bose @Parnika Bubna : I am proud of you, Parnika, even as your writing humbles me in almost mute admiration, for I know that every word spelt here finds resonance in your soul.

Sugata Bose @Rajarshi Chakraborty : No, poverty creates capitalism, I guess.

Sugata Bose @Shaikh Abdul Alim : Correct interpretation of Swamiji's words. I purposefully waited for someone to give it and restrained my keypad from doing so.

Sugata Bose @Alok Mukherjee : What about the write-up? The content matters more than the appended photograph even if it is that of the great and venerable Vivekananda.

Sugata Bose @Subhrajyoti Bhowmick : Their preaching of secularism with proselytising agenda is equally pretentious but Christians, post the Enlightenment, have uprooted the theological hold of orthodox Christianity in their emerging nation states themselves. Hence, they have been here absolved of this reference to religious pretention en masse.

Sugata Bose @Thomas Das : Pandit Nehru was a great soul, although, he did not believe in the soul, spiritually speaking, perhaps. I respect you, too. Does it mean that I disrespect Netaji thereby? Or, to respect Netaji, ought I necessarily have to disrespect you and everybody else? What is your take on that? How can you be so presumptuous about others' opinions and peremptorily pass fatwas on them, so to say, with linguistic implication alone implicit in the particular Islamic epithet used here and nothing more?

Sugata Bose @Haradhan Mukhopadhyay : Who else to blame but the blameworthy?

Sugata Bose @Nitin Diwadkar : Oh, you are too simple a person to comprehend linguistic implications ! Hence your simplistic interpretation of my post.

Sugata Bose @Raka Bhattacharyya : You mean by inter-religious marriage to change the gene of futures generations?

Sugata Bose @Amrita Bhattacharyya : Depends on what you make of it anyway. The universe is there. Some accept it as true. Some deny it altogether. So is everything else within the spectral bounds of perception, appreciation, analysis and understanding. What will be your take on it is entirely yours and I welcome you to it. As for mine, the note of interrogation at the end of the sentence makes it amply clear, I guess. If doubt still persists as to my intent or as to the reason I have raised the issue the way I have done it, let me clear it once and for all that all my posts generally are to trigger public thinking on issues from as many angles as possible which is why I welcome your take on it whichever way you may direct it.

Sugata Bose @DrMrityunjoy Mahato : Thank you for at least not pulling down Gandhiji as well from the realm of greatness. Hiren Mukerjee calls Nehru, though, 'The Gentle colossus'.

Sugata Bose @Shaikh Abdul Alim : You are marvellously human in your approach to things and, hence, an adornment to society. Please keep illumining us with perceptive observations like this, balanced, rational, liberal and introspective. However, your comment falls short of the intended order of the post which aims at cultural preservation which also is the sine qua non for the proper functioning of a modern society in due inheritance of its historical heritage in whose absence it dies for want of character and severance of roots. Hence, your observation, while it highlights the preeminent surface feature of a modern society, I chose to re-observe on through this appending of a further comment. However, I am well aware that this latter addition of mine and the original content of the post may be deemed by strict secularists to be regressive and reactionary to which my plea will be to them to deepen cultural and civilisational introspection. For which tree can survive on its stem other than creepers which subsist on other trees with roots of theirs well planted? Every country has its natural sources of civilisational life and it ought to be well preserved. India's is this grand spiritual source in the Vedas and the Vedanta. If it be lost, India will be lost, too. This is the import of the post. However, medieval culture in Islamic import and influence and local developments must be preserved equally. Otherwise, the country's history will be lost and she shall suffer on account of a vacuous stretch of history that has been lost, a brazen breach of cultural links, a la Pakistan fate which refuses to acknowledge its ancient Indian Hindu roots and attempts to trace it only up to medieval Islamic conquest of north-western India. This ought not to happen in a modern society as well and it is the people's responsibility on all sides to realise this cultural necessity.

Sugata Bose @Amit Saha : The population of India's Muslims is right now 195 million and they have a distinct religious and cultural identity of theirs over and above their Hindu roots. Most of them are the descendants of Hindu-converts. Their fused civilisation of the Middle East and India have lent them a vibrant cultural identity which is rich and resourceful and has every element in it which a civilisation ought to possess for it to subsist and thrive. Their manner and means, modes and methods, attire and attributes have all their distinct fused cultural identity which is very much more Indian than Arabic or Turkish or Iranian as opposed to what some of their adherents now by way of foreign reaction choose to exhibit. This is the genius of India/Hinduism that it can accommodate other cultures within its universal ambit and refashion them after its own heart. To call the Indian Islamic culture un-Indian in roots beyond its Arabic origin would be the greatest cultural blasphemy and a statement in outright falsity. The Indian Muslim is as much Indian as the Indian Hindu and both these cultures have drawn from the perennial source of Indian civilisation which pre-eminently is Hindu and at source so, barring tribal cultures of remotest antiquity, and as such, the Indian identity necessarily includes the Islamic identity for 195 million of the followers of the faith.

Sugata Bose @Hitendra Mehta : Hindus can coexist with the Muslims but Muslims cannot unless they be in the majority and can impose their supremacy on the rest of humanity not belonging to their faith. This is the history of political Islam worldwide and it continues to this day throughout the world. Look at the number of Islamic states that the world has and compare it with any other religion, and this blatant fact will be even more apparent. However, enlightened a leadership there may be that will accommodate Muslims within the polity, their demands will keep on growing with increase in their population and a greater say in the state of things for it is divine injunction on them that they expand their religious influence and convert the infidel (kaffir/kuffar) to their fold everywhere and bring peace on earth, a peace of total subservience to their God and His commandments, a peace that does not allow for coexistence except as a temporary arrangement of expediency, a truce, to buy time till the world may be suitably subjugated to the Islamic fold. Hence, coexistence is the Islamic cry only in those countries where they require it on account of numerical minority but the moment they grow into majority, they impose the Islamic dictate, the Shariat. It is living in a fool's paradise to imagine that a religion that calls Hinduism idolatrous and false and enjoins upon its followers to hate the kaffir and destroy his religious symbols and places of worship should suddenly alter stance and become magnanimous enough to accommodate them when they hold the reins of power. They have partitioned the motherland on the basis of this religious demand of theirs. It has been gullibility enough thus far and one must be circumspect in treading one's steps in the uncertain future, armed well in knowledge about their scriptures and their intent, about their history and devastation of cultures of countless lands and peoples.

Sugata Bose @Dhananjoy Das : Adage alright but in real terms impracticable.

Sugata Bose @Shaikh Abdul Alim : Lovely. What a beautiful way of putting it ! Almost like an aphorism in altered terms.

Sugata Bose @Siddhartha Ghanti : You cannot change the scripture of the Christian or the Muslim. They are supposedly uniquely revealed inviolable scriptures. Social and cultural practices arising directly out of such inviolable injunctions cannot be changed by man, so the Muslims say. Hence, the predicament continues. Christians during the Reformation and the Enlightenment either reformed these practices or did away with them at the cost of a deluge of blood that flowed in the ensuing conflict between the establishment and the reformers but Muslims the world over are yet to do this.
As of now, they are caught in their medieval trappings and cannot but subscribe to archaic scriptural practices as their rigid religion prescribes them and proscribes any change whatsoever which will be deemed as going against the will of their God. Your other point of every religion having produced sages who have ascended the summit of spiritual realisation is right but you have to historically see what happened to most of them post pronouncement of their sublime findings. Either they were by decree of Church silenced or by Islamic order beheaded. A case in point is of the enlightened one who declared 'Anaa-al-Haqq' (I am the Truth). Moreover, individual souls in other religions may have realised the supreme Truth of the non-dual Self (Brahman) and may have articulated it in local terms but such declarations have never found acceptance in exclusive proselytising religions which have remained dated in their original medieval beginnings.

Sugata Bose @Nilanjana Chakraborty : But what about the humour implicit in the climatic part of the post? I understand, in these days of hyper-seriousness and lack of general humour, such caustic jest will escape most.

Sugata Bose @Comal Mahadevan Amrtheswaran : Humour there is but then these days who understands linguistic subtleties and yet appreciates the deeper implications which in their implicitness become expressly more explicit? These are materialistic days of rough recourse and coarse communication when humour that conveys the idea better has taken to wings. Hence...

Sugata Bose @Rajarshi Chakraborty : Regrettable that you think so. Proper Marxists are generally deep political and economic and even philosophical thinkers.

Sugata Bose @Rajarshi Chakraborty : Mock the principle but why the man? Why call him a commie in a mocking tone?

Sugata Bose @Milan Brata Basu : Calling me communal and running away by blocking me without waiting to read my response is a cowardly act.

Sugata Bose @Hindol Sengupta : The anchor (Hindol Sengupta) ought to behave in a more masculine manner devoid of his pretentious mannerisms which through habitual repetition, it seems, has now become a sick behavioural attribute.

Sugata Bose @Deepanjan Mitra : Had not seen this comment earlier but, nonetheless, unwittingly acceded to your request, and it is well that I did so for my heart was filled to the brim after having offered my obeisance at my blessed Guru's feet. Thank you, Deepanjan, for having been at it all this while and for not having let go of me till I had somewhat delivered something on this day of epic moment.

Sugata Bose @Sameer Banik : That is the challenge the Muslims face the world over. Christians did it largely in the Reformation and the Enlightenment, albeit amidst dreadful bloodshed, for the inertia of the ages does not give in easily and must be rooted out with force which entails huge violence and consequent loss of lives et al. The world is more modern today and, hence, in cue with what Hiren Mukherjee in relation to the reformation of the classical revolutionary movements had suggested, Islamic reformation may be likewise attempted along evolutionary lines. ... [To be continued in further expansion and elucidation]

Sugata Bose @Nirmal Kumar Dey : Study the Hindu scriptures and the Islamic ones and see the difference for yourself. If the difference is not apparent, then see an optician.

Sugata Bose @Nilanjana Chakraborty : Please read the Islamic scriptures before coming to conclusions this way or that.

Sugata Bose @Soham Pain : There is wide world of difference between what the Hindu scriptures very infrequently in places say and what is the general intent and tenet of Islam as revealed and recorded thereafter in their scriptures. Literally, a universe apart these are !

Sugata Bose @Shaikh Abdul Alim : Thank you for elucidating. As always, very illuminating.

Sugata Bose @Joydeep Das : I do not have much experience in this regard. So, I cannot vouch for it this way or that. But fanatical outflow is regrettable in modern society anyway.

Sugata Bose @Shaikh Abdul Alim : Let love run free in the truest sense of the term, and for this we must love with strength and not weakness, freely, spontaneously, without bars, even while holding on to our respective religio-cultural identities. But the ground reality is such that archaic injunctions, and institutions feeding on such, prevent this free social intercourse and commingling of cultures. You are an enlightened person from an Islamic background and must further the cause of this close communion of communities almost hopelessly split apart by misapprehension and mistrust. Come, work with me. Surely, I shall help you spread your harmonic message.
