Re: No political articles on SRH? Really?

Reservations based on religion is certainly of interest. While you may not

place in a hindu religion news-group. The article deals with the direct
material consequences of being a Hindu. While you may be on the highest rung
on the spiritual ladder, many of us here are not, and are still stuck in the
mundane affairs of life.

If articles about the BJP or VHP had been given, extolling their policies etc,
that would have been purely political.

ayodhya - Ram temple - not hindu?
