In the context of India being a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic...

Hinduism is a repository of ageless human thinking and ideology, It is multidimensional and thought provoking in myriad ways. For you, what is the most interesting aspect of Hinduism?

Somehow Delhi Belly has managed to offend the religious sentiments of not just one religious group but two or may be more. Reports are that a Muslim lady filed a case against the producers for showing scenes that offend her sentiments and also Hindutva activists protested at many theaters showing Delhi Belly. What is your take on this?

What is the significance of it , why is it undertaken by the believers? Is there any specific context in which it is performed?

If yes , why? What are the prerequisites for democracy to be successful?

Ok. If at all we get a chance to hang out on the moon, with no one else around.. except for the people of our choice, who all would you take? You have a limit of five people.... Friends, spouses , pets, celebrities, sportsmen , comedians.. any of them, just to have a good time there.. :)

Every now and the a minister visits our cities and towns. and during such visits the roads are blocked or traffic diverted, or bad roads are remade within record time(only the ones on which the minister will be going in his fancy imported car)..etc Why this treatment is given to them? Clearly politics has become a money making profession in these days,just like any other profession. When they can waste public money by creating hungamas and gimmicks in the parliament, eat out of the common man's depleting bowl, make Crores of rupees..etc why must they be given this respect and VIP status? It is clearly inconvenient to the people.If they can waste time in the parliament on trivial issues, surely they are not as busy as they claim to be.. Should this VIP treatment be continued or not? And why?

I have come across a few people who do not believe in god or religion and the like.. But they feel that the ambiance of a temple or any such places of worship can uplift the spirits and help them in their spiritual journey.. So what is the significance of these places for the theists and the spiritualists?

Hi everyone. Jassie is back after a long break.. Hope you all have been well and good.. I have missed a lot of intelligent questions of all you contacts,.. :)

Now, do you think India should ban capital punishment. It is given in rarest of rare cases, even then many advocate against this. What is your opinion on this. Do we really need it now a days? Or should we just stop it..!!?

India has had many famous personalities.. Who did good work for the society. May be scientists, artists , actors , social workers , doctors...etc Can you name those that were born and brought up or studied in your city / state and what they were/are famous for ?

I know that he is a Hari Bhakta and have a heard a few delightful stories about him.. But I want to know more about him. What is Narad muni's life story and what is his significance in Hindu mythology ?

I got the scientific ones.. But I want to know how you guys on Y!A S&R category would define a ' human being ' ... :)

Didn't know which category to post it in, so put in one of my favorite ones..

1. You are the center of attraction.

2. Flirt around with every member of the opposite/preferred sex.

3. Booze till you are wasted.

4. Go in a group and come in a group (your close friends).

5. Dance till you are tired.

6. You hate parties.

7. .....................Mention your own way.

I know there are lots and lots of such places all over India.. But I want to know about the most important ones.. and in which State they are.. If you have been to any of them, you can share the experiences of your visit..

Thanks..

And the reason for it.. :)

For me it's Kerala (very beautiful) and Maharashtra (heard it's got a lot of josh..!!) .

But I guess every State has got it's own specialty, so which is it for you ?

What is your understanding on Max Weber's 'iron cage' concept , related to the bureaucracy? Can you explain in simple words?

I don't think anyone ever thought that the Babri would be demolished(in Independent,secular...and all big worded and principled India).. But The RSS , VHP and gang did it (with a big impetus by some political people). Clearly their next agenda is to build a Ram Temple in the disputed site.

Do you feel they will succeed in it ? If they do, what will be its implications ? (Hypothetical question, but some opinions on this would be appreciated).. Thanks..
