	Selva, I thought I will never confront you. But since you have
	mentioned my name, you deserve a prompt reply. It is not shame
	but a grace of hinduism that we are talking against the barbaric
	politics of India. Ayodhya is just a symbol of that voice. I
	don't know how much you know of hinduism, I can defend the so
	called barbaric act of Mosque domilition based on hindu argument.
	Can you tell me how many dead bodies the kar sevaks have to go
	through before they demolished the mosque? None. The violence
	in the aftermath of that demolition is created by Congress and
	other pseudo secularists so that they can get widespread support
	for anti-demolition activities and particularly to diminish the
	popularity of BJP in the hindi-belt. I have no problem with this,
	it is all poltics. Let us apply a spiritual argument.

	The killing of innocent people is anti-hindu. Using violent means
	is also anti-hindu. That is not the only hindu idea. Hinduism also
	talks about evil as God. When the system gets beyond repair, the
	evil forces of God take control of the situation. This may sound
	evil to you but from a non-ethical point of view, there is nothing
	wrong with this evil. It is due to our lower understanding of
	knowledge of things (which is predominantly by natural forces of
	guna) that we categorise between good and evil. It is because of
	this philosophy that Krishan had to ask Arjuna to kill Kauravas.
	When a person raises himself beyond the forces of gunas, that
	consciousness is what Krishna was talking about as Divine nature
	which does not distinguish between moral and ethical aspects of
	good and evil.
