A humanist future: Now that our Gods are dead |
* Why I Am Not a Hindu
Professor Ramendra's bold manifesto in which he explains why he
rejects the doctrine of the infallibility of the Vedas, varnashram
dharma, moksha, karmavada, and avatarvada. In place of idol
worship and ancient taboo, Ramendra advocates a humanistic
secularism based on liberty, equality, and the inalienable rights
of each individual.
"I have read and admired Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian.
On the other hand, I have also read and disagreed with M.K.Gandhi's
Why I Am a Hindu. My acquaintance with these writings has inspired me
to write this essay explaining why I am not a Hindu, though I was born
in a Hindu family."

The trouble is most people want something to worship and be
grateful for our existence . Hinduism allows you to do that , thats
why its superior to secularism.
