Exactly. The writer of the article has expressed his views. But it's a blunder on his part for hurting the sentiments of others. Bengalis, who revere Durga, hurt. Even Non-Bengalis are hurt.coloring with caste to the pujas is not right.

The future of Indo-Pak relationship looks extremely bleak and Pakistan is solely responsble for this state of affairs. Whenever there have been genuine efforts to make peace with that nation vested interests did everything to wreck it. I knew from the authoritative work of a contemporary leading historian that a deal was almost clinched by Nehru,Ayub Khan and Abdulla towards the formation of a confederation but Nehru's death put paid to that. The reference to German reunification is not apt.The people of Germany never have had a choice in the division of their motherland.

Sir ji I am living in North Rajasthan and my city is adjoining to Punjab and Pakistan, so earthquake is powerful here. My chair was dance for 30 second.
Thank God, you are safe. The intensity of the tremor varied from place to place. Gulshanji ji did not feel the tremors very much in Agra. Whereas, you felt high intensity.

That day, when domestic violence may be extended to men too may come. Now more and more women are becoming self reliant and earning. All these days women were harassed. Now, it's the turn of women. We cannot predict the future.

True. Life style and the brushing away values of life are responsible for this malady.

What next are they going to interpret from such festivals? Seriously, Durga stands for the superior classes that must and will always dominate the lowly ones??? Utterly ridiculous and too pompous an article, what was the writer thinking when he wrote this nonsense??

The writer of the article himself is a Bengali Yes many Bengalis are not aware of this dark side of Durga [puja. he says that Durga's image is depicted Durga's complex as fair and beautiful. Whereas Mahishasur in dark complexion. This symbolizes subjugation and suppression of the dark skinned.by the Fair skinned. This in turn speaks of oppression of Dalits by forward classes.

For men, there is no helpline. They are considered strong. so tere is helpline for women. Now men are also approaching thewomen helpline asthey are harassed and tortured by wives. I remember that there is also a society of men victimed by women viz. Patni Peedit sangh. I visualize that in near future there would be helpline for men also.

Relation with Pakistan had strained and is strained. It is not because of peoples of both countries, it is because of army and some fanatical groups of Pakistan. Unification is hard but not impossible. Future is uncertain. POK and Sindh have spark of unification.

Islamic state is notcompatible with secularism. Similarly Hindu Rashtra. Islamic and Hindustate are just antagonistic. There appears no scope for unification in near future. Possibly in distant future, may be one hundred years later, this could materialize. future generations may be wiser.

Possibly, the dark side is not known popularly. People just celebrate thefestival and recollect onlythe stories heard in fanily or friend circle. we generally don't go deep in scriptures nor isthis necessary. The scriptures are too vast. If we read these from Puranas, we may spend our whole lives just reading these with noting else to do. any way these are just stories. Need not take these seriously.
