STOP CALLING OUR SCRIPTURES MYTHOLOGY..
Kulbhushan Singhal --
It seems that after independence Hindus were transferred as a SALE-ABLE commodity to the new political rulers for exploitation and manipulation. And religious leaders also joined these political rulers to enjoy this fruit of exploitation. Every political party has ruled India, including those who ...have publicly advocated interest of Hindus paramount in their agenda.
One of the simple things that any political party could have done was to at least make sure that Hindu religious books are not called myths and our entire scriptures as mythology. Why no Hindu religious leader has done anything about it, is for readers to judge. But why our Hindu society did nothing is something more alarming and definitely points to our extreme passive attitude.

I have maintained that they are not myths. Pl see my article "Yugantar -- At the cross-roads of Time and Society"

Agreed Leena Ji, but the main questions for attention here is :
1. Every political party has ruled India, including those who have publicly advocated interest of Hindus paramount in their agenda. Yet nothing has been done.
2. Vedas, Puraans, Upnishads, are all Hindu religious books, and just as sacred to Hindus as religious books of Christians are to Christian, and Muslim religious books to Muslim. There have been riots, street fights, bloody protest in case something derogatory is said about the books of Christians and Muslims.
Why are the Hindus so PASSIVE that we cannot get respect like other faiths for our scriptures.

Unlike the western, our scriptures are (i) very ancient which makes proper interpretation more difficult and (ii) the scriptures instruct every individual to have her/his own ANUBHOOTI and also suggest that each person's Anubhooti will be different according to her/his nature. Thus the anubhooti is not standard even though the result of it is. People do not understand this concept easily. Hence there is not much discussion about them.
