Yet, the Christian population is only between 2-4 percent in a total population of about one billion in India. Most of the Christian converts are from the low caste and the tribals. Christians are accused of targeting only Dalits (untouchables) and tribals. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, advised Christians to direct conversion to those who can understand their message and not to the illiterate and downtrodden.

  • Arvind Sharma, "A Note on the Worship of Idols in India," Indian
    A Note on the Worship of Idols 1n India ARVIND SHARMA* I As is well known, '' Idolatry'' has always more or less been a part of the Hindu religion.1 There is, however, considerable diver­ gence in the accounts on the nature of its prevalence, though not its vogue,s even if we confine ourselves to the medieval period of Indian history and the modern period which followed it. For instance, Al-biriini remarks, preparatory to his comments on Hindu idolatry: Since, however, here we have to explain the system and the theories of the Hindu3 on the subject, we shall now mention their ludicrous views; but we declare at once that they are held only by the common uneducated people. For those who march on the path of liberation or those who study philosophy and theology, and who desire abstract truth which they called siira, are entirely free from worshipping anything but God alone, and would never dream of worshipping an image manu­ factured to represent him.3 It is clear, however, that even the educated people carried on the \\orship of images and that it was popular even among the Brahmins .1s is testified to by Bernier ·during his travels through the Moghul Empire. 4 Similarly while Al-biruni's remarks above seem to indicate that there were two classes of Hindus-the uneducated idolators and the educated non-idolators-Dara Shukoh, in the Moghul period, speaks of the worship and non-worship of images as representing two stages of spiritual growth and not two classes of people as such.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository From Exclusion to State Violence: The Transformation of Noncitizen Detention in the United States and Its Implications in Arizona, 1891-present by Judith Irangika Dingatantrige Perera A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2018 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Jack Schermerhorn, Chair Leah Sarat Julian Lim ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the transformation of noncitizen detention policy in the United States over the twentieth century. For much of that time, official policy remained disconnected from the reality of experiences for those subjected to the detention regime. However, once detention policy changed into its current form, disparities between policy and reality virtually disappeared. This work argues that since its inception in the late nineteenth century to its present manifestations, noncitizen detention policy transformed from a form of exclusion to a method of state-sponsored violence. A new periodization based on detention policy refocuses immigration enforcement into three eras: exclusion, humane, and violent. When official policy became state violence, the regime synchronized with noncitizen experiences in detention marked by pain, suffering, isolation, hopelessness, and death. This violent policy followed the era of humane detentions. From 1954 to 1981, during a time of supposedly benevolent national policies premised on a narrative against de facto detentions, Arizona, and the broader Southwest, continued to detain noncitizens while collecting revenue for housing such federal prisoners. Over time increasing detentions contributed to overcrowding.

He spoke ill of Islam and Hinduism alike, yet, in the end, both groups claimed him as their own. In this essay, various images of Kab¯ırare discussed. Kab¯ır as he appears in legends; Kab¯ıras he appears in his poems; Kab¯ıras a historical figure. But more importantly, Kab¯ıras he is perceived as today. The image of Kab¯ır, as it were. The question of `who Kab¯ırwas' is posed to members of two groups in the city of Ban¯aras,India | one group Muslim (Jul¯ah¯a),the other Hindu (Yadav). Notes on transliteration and terms Words in Hindi and Sanskrit have been transliterated using standard methods of show- ing pronunciation as used in Benjamin Walker, Hindu World: An Encyclopedic Survey of Hinduism (Volume 1), first published in 1968 by Goerge Allen & Unwin Ltd, (New Delhi: Rupa & co, 2005) and others. That is, using diacritics. Instead of simply writing `dik- sha', the spelling `d¯ıksh¯a'is used, as this follows the actual pronunciation in the original language more closely. Spelling in book titles, quotes and such, are, naturally, given as they were spelled in the original.
