Bhagavad Gita, one of the holiest Hindu scriptures, is facing a legal ban and the prospect of being branded as "an extremist" literature across Russia.
Parliamentarians across the political spectrum on Monday asked the government to ensure that the religious rights of Hindus in Russia are protected after a member pointed out an IANS report about the Bhagvad Gita facing a ban and the prospect of it being branded as "extremist" literature there.
This is very disheartening news. Bhagvad Geeta is what every hindu looks upto. And Hindus in Russia must be very disturbed by this. God knows why religious intolerance is so much encouraged everywhere in the world.
