HAPPY NEW YEAR

May God be kind to all.

INTER-FAITH MARRIAGES

There has been a lot in news recently about two issues - first being inter-faith marriages and second being so called BABAs..

What I feel is that we should encourage inter-faith marriages as that is the best way to integrate the society but if one coerces his or her partner to change faith for marriage then it is a BIG NO NO. The children can enjoys both faiths and choose one they wish to follow once they are adults. They should not be forced by anyone to follow own faith.

If one has denounced the worldly things and become a BABA then how come they still live in luxury and as seen by a few examples satisfy their sexual urges by forcing their female disciples? Most of them do not allow outsiders visiting their ASHRAMs. I feel all ASHRAMs of any BABA should be accessible to anyone at any time, specially police.

MERRY X-MAS

MOLESTATION

Lately there has been a lot in news about a well known girl who spoke about having been physically molested by a person sitting behind her while in a flight. I have two points on this issue.

First being that let us accept what that man says and is supported by his wife. He stated that he is a frequent flier and had gone off to sleep soon after the flight took off. He states that did not do anything inappropriate. He had placed his foot on the armrest of the seat where that girl was sitting. I would like to ask him if it is proper for anyone to place his foot on the armrest of seat in front. Would he accept the passenger sitting behind placing his foot on his armrest? Is this kind of act acceptable in flight? It was a deliberate act of molestation.

Secondly, would the media have given same coverage to this incident had the girl been a common citizen?
