On the same lines does China also have a similar problem? Apropos the General’s quote. Lessons are dime a dozen… but an army is only as good as it’s soldiers. That is a major subjective factor in the equation of war. Look at any recorded war in history. Tailpiece: Luck is directly proportional to hard work. And one more point. Wars do not ever result in absolute victory…. Every participant, these days non participants too, lose something or the other…. Rhetorics notwithstanding. And one more point. Yes. Concessions are given to those who deserve, to those who recognise them as a sacrifice from someone else , and to those who are grateful for the same. To give something to some one, you have to take it away from someone else. For instance, releasing 90,000 Pakistani prisoners of war in 1971/72 was a concession….Then, what happened? (Not all Indian prisoners were returned).

@Opp_Man yeh. Your sentiments are well taken. But to say “alienation” in a democracy like India is presumptuous. If you mean discrimination of sections of population in the social environment, yes, Maybe. That is a social issue and not Governance issue. The constitution, franchise, freedom to built religious edifices, law, justice etc… are amply clear on not discriminating… Tailpiece: Love, friendship, bonhomie etc are two way process. All sections involved need to work towards Dealientaion. If you mean religious discrimination….then let all religious leaders come on to one platform and unequivocally declare that “Your God is as great mine, the way you pray is as pure and effective as how we do it… etc”. The issue is not political (politicians merely exploit). The issue is societal where all religions are equally responsible to maintain harmony.

Yes. Concessions are given to those who deserve, those who recognise them as a sacrifice from sine ine else , and those who are grateful for the same. To give something to some one, you have ti take it from someone else.

@Opp_Man Friend. That is the half way…. Hijab is something not mandated by religion, it is just a practice. So go half way…. There are such issues in the Vedic practices too. For instance the Vedas mandate only 7 rituals during a marriage ceremony. But many social dispensations in India do much more and term them as a religious practice. So I say Hijab is dispensable (as not part of religion) I am not saying it because it is the custom (not religious) in a community and not against Islam. I maintain that all religions was formed with good intentions. But religions have been exploited by unscrupulous elements from within. We have to recognise that first..before we point fingers on outsiders.

@Cyrano1971 Barlekha, it is all perception. I request discuss a point, if you can or if you must. That is free speech and democracy we are privileged to enjoy. Attacking a person, thick headed etc., does not speak well of anybody. Reflect. Enjoy. Stay safe.

@Opp_Man Not in religion. But customs, yes. There is a difference. Customs are wrongly and wilfully passed on, by those within the religion, who want to exploit, as a religious practice. This happens in ALL religions. Some fight, some succumb to the exploits. It is your choice.

@Opp_Man Friend... Why do you say that? What has any government to do with it? I grew up in a Islam neighbourhood in the 50s and 60s. I know what I am saying. The problem is US. You and me and the religious leaders. Religion is NOT a set of customs... It is much greater.

@MichToJoshya Yes. But when some, after an M Phil or Phd, talk like running a Nation or organising the Defence of a large country like India can be handled in drawing room discussions, you can’t let them get away. Such commentaries mislead a lot of gullible fellow Indians and provide a rallying point for the ignorant and mischief mongers.

@maquacr7014 The major problem are these so called "religious scholars" whi mislead. You need not be a scholar to know the basics. For e. g. Ine need not beca scientist to know Newton's laws of motion.

@maquacr7014 OK. Though I have read all texts... I have not memorised them or studied them. But I can tell that all of them (of ALL religions ) have been written by Humans (scholars ? As you say) fir a time and space as visualised at the time of writing.All have flaws. I grew up among Muslims and studied in a jesuit school more than half a century back. I have relatives and friends from different religions . So from experience , I can tell.

@maquacr7014 I wonder where in the Holy script ( the original holy script and not the add on) is it said explicitly that women should be covered all over in public. Prove the positive..that they should wear. The negatives prove themselves as they are not written. I am not arguing for or against any religion. Exploitation and misrepresentations are part of all religions. . Religions are man made as none of them is as old as the Homo sapiens.Enjoy. Stay safe

@maquacr7014 sure Maqua... These add ons...like in all religions the followers added "customs etc to control and discriminate. IN AL RELIGIONS. This exactly is my point... Discriminate and Control. I repeat, in ALL religions.

@maquacr7014 "Ḥadīth or Athar in Islam refers to what the majority of Muslims believe to be a record of the words, actions, and the silent approval of the Islamic prophet Muhammad as transmitted through chains of narrators. In other words, the ḥadīth are transmitted reports about what Muhammad said and did." Maquua, it has been a very informative and satisfying duscussion with you. I will cintinue to learn. If we and especially our children want to live in an atmosphere of love, religions have to evolve and change. Thank you. Bye. Enjoy. Stay safe.
