ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?
My friend in the West recently saw a photograph related to my daughter’s engagement ceremony and told me: “It is very funny to see a person like you perform ancient tribal rituals…Your religion is plagued by enormous superstitions, wrong customs, bad and ugly rituals, ceremonial impurity and immoral traditions…It is high time that your religion is modernized and move according to time like the Semitic religions in the West…”.

Hi Uday,
Awesome response. The article emulates the story of a blind man hitting a pillar on a road where he blames the pillar in-turn blaming himself. The same way where the Vedas/Upanishads are being blamed but its our mind/thought who has not understand the true sense.
