ome months ago I attended an SInterfaith Dialogue in Delhi. Hindus, Muslims and Christians spoke, all were nice, smiling. But it was not a dialogue. It was a pro- motion for the Abrahamic reli- gions. Christians praised Christianity, Muslims praised Islam, and Hindus praised Christianity and Islam. Why were Hindus extra careful not to step on any toes? Christians and Muslims never showed such consideration towards Hindus. It almost looked as if Hindus still feel the need to please their for- mer Christian or Muslim masters. Fortunately, those masters are gone.
