aussiefan Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Wrong. That's the faulty/flawed unedrstanding of Hinduism by westerners and many western educated Indian Hindus/self-proclaimed atheists. apologies if wrong, certainly can say i know not enough about Hinduism but am very interested to understand/learn more /back to research Link to comment
cricket my love Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 In India, people are used to of calling each other as sala, harami, kanjar,..and if you would go in the details of these words, they could be quite offensive but these words are quite routine on everybody's tongue. Same in the Westeren culture, word "Bastard" " **** you" is routine and does not consider as offensive as calling a black man as " Niger". Remember people have lost their radio shows because os using this word on air. Bhaji has made a mistake and had to pay the price but I dont agree with the three test match ban, a one match ban would be enough to set the examples for others not to use this words against black people.

living Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 if a black dude call another black dude nigger it aint racism. Bhajji is a monkey too (no offense) , and hence calling symo a monkey is not a racist comment. Link to comment

CC1981 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hinduism is a PANTHEISTIC religion- ie, it includes monotheism AND polytheism AND dualisms as well. There are many schools of thought in Hinduism- from Advaita to Shakta, Vedanta, etc. all focussing on different avenues. Link to comment
