Casteism dangerous than terrorism: Prasad | |||||||||
Mysore, June 19, DHNS: | |||||||||
MLA V Sreenivas Prasad said casteism is more dangerous than terrorism. He was speaking at the Loka Shanthigagi Nirantara Buddha Sandesha Yatre (a journey of Buddha’s messages for world peace) organised here on Sunday at the Vishwa Mytri Buddha Vihar. | |||||||||
The MLA said accepting Hindu religion is akin to embracing inequality. However, he said, there is no meaning for religious conversion until and unless there is a good cause. Dr B R Ambedkar accepted Buddhism to free his self from the religion he belonged to way back in 1956. Chamarajanagar MP R Dhruvanarayan said people would love to embrace the religion that promises equality and non-violence. Compared with Mangalore, where many converted into Buddhism, it was vice-versa in the old Mysore region. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/170101/casteism-dangerous-terrorism-prasad.html |
