sachin34357 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bhagwad-gita-dictator-supreme-court-justice-ar-dave-children/1/375317.html Indian Supreme Court judge Justice A R Dave on Saturday said that Indians should revert to their ancient traditions, and texts such as Mahabharata and Bhagwad Gita should be introduced to children at an early age. "Our old tradition such as 'Guru Shishya parampara' is lost, if it had been there, we would not have had all these problems (violence and terrorism) in our country," Justice Dave said, speaking at an international conference on 'contemporary issues and challenges of human rights in the era of globalisation'. "Now we see terrorism in countries. Most of the countries are democratic... If everybody in a democratic country is good then they would naturally elect somebody who is very good. And that person will never think of damaging anybody else," he said. "So by bringing (out) all the good things in each and every human being, we can stop the violence everywhere. And for that purpose we have to go back to our own things again." The conference had been organised by Gujarat Law Society (GLS). The judge also proposed that Bhagwad Gita and Mahabharata should be introduced to students from the first standard. "Somebody who is very secular... so called secular will not agree... Had I been the dictator of India, I would have introduced Gita and Mahabharata in class one. That is the way you learn how to live life. I am sorry if somebody says I am secular or I am not secular. But if there is something good, we have to get it from anywhere," Justice Dave said. Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, Justice Mohit Shah, said 'development for all' should be the core value behind the idea of globalisation. "The concept of global village does not mean everybody just thinking of the world, but it should also be expanding of functions of development for all... If we don't share the profits of globalisation, the benefits of globalisation, it would be raising serious challenges," he said.

Alchemist Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 What's wrong with what he said ? Teachings of Gita are good. Problem is, we don't follow it.
CSK Fan Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 What's wrong with what he said ? Teachings of Gita are good. Problem is, we don't follow it. Let people decide what is good and bad, not you
Muloghonto Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Let people decide what is good and bad' date=' not you[/quote'] Yep. In any case, most hindu children do learn abt ramayana and magabharata at an early age, mostly as bedtime stories told by mommies and grandparents. Sent from my GT-S5830D using Tapatalk 2
JaiRamesh2 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 A bit of fantasy reading can't be that bad. I say throw in the Koran and Bible too at the kids, but as long as it is taught as Science-fiction literature.

Marco Polo Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Freedom of speech applies to the judge as well. He was giving his personal opinion. What's the big deal?
Number Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 BTW, @1983-2011 off topic: but why no thread on this ? Why victims of custodial deaths in Maharashtra only from minorities, Bombay HC asks http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Why-victims-of-custodial-deaths-in-Maharashtra-only-from-minorities-Bombay-HC-asks/articleshow/39378139.cms I am sure if it was Gujarat or any other BJP ruled state, some posters would have come out of their month long break from ICF to post this and outraged. :winky:

Question that Bombay HC asked is very pertinent and needs to be answered. It is related to Law and Order which judiciary has significant responsibility for. What SC judge has asked in OP is totally isolated thing from his area of work.
achilles Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 What is wrong with introducing Gita in Class 1? I've studied in a Jesuit school. They had learnings of the Bible from Class 1. My Muslim friends going to Madrassas are taught their learnings. So what is wrong with introducing Gita?
