It was quite interesting that, when I wished my Hindu friends a Happy Diwali, they would wish me a Happy Diwali as well -- I figured out that they really meant it! This year, some friends invited us to their temple to celebrate. We couldn't due to prior commitments, but the thoughtfulness was appreciated.how nice it will be if we all stop following the religion of hatred and discrimination and start following the religion of happiness, joy, acceptance and love
I believe that your assessment has an application far beyond India: it would go a long way toward curing the ills in this country, as well as many others in this world.
We all like guns here: how nice it is to share, welcome others, and feel welcomed and respected one's self.
