Surya Namaskar voluntary

This is regarding the article in the Times Of India about 'Surya Namaskar being made voluntary in schools' here.

Why do these people have to drag religion into everything? Why can't they just take Surya Namaskar as a terrific exercise that strengthens mind and body? 'Mantras' that they are talking about are a form of meditation. And every religion has prayers to allow its followers to meditate since thats what brings you closer to the inner spirit and the universal being (God).

These stupid people are sowing seeds of religious disparity in the minds of innocent school-children. What kind of 'secular' India are we creating? At this rate, we will never be rid of religion-based politics and riots and communal violence.

What surprises me the most is that the Court (law) is bending over backwards to please these so-called religious heads and heeding their senseless and dangerous demands. I feel such people who pose a threat to secularism and breed religious intolerance should be punished most severely.

Mallika 'caught in the act'

This is regarding the article about Mallika Sherawat on Times Of India here.

So whats the big fuss about?? Strippers and nude girls dance during the Kumbh mela and at lots of other so-called 'religious' gatherings. No case is filed over that, nobody bothers about those girls. Its only when the girl is successful and is making a lot of money that these assholes start itching.

Ban the kumbh mela also since there are lots of sadhus who move around naked and those photos are also published in papers, etc. The law must be equal for everyone.
