Did you hear this?

[Aditya, the Cheerful Hindu Skeptic]

Arun Gupta <suvidya at OPTONLINE.NET> has written as follows:

>I'm also told that the Bhagavad Gita is extremely popular at one of the
>Indian Institutes of Management.
You are confused about the issue.
Gita is a religious text regardless of which language it is written and has
no place in secular studies any where.

>
>Horror of horrors !  How can this be permitted ? The Gita isn't used at
>Wharton or at Stanford.  Only Indologists and descendants of the flower
>children pay any attention to that primitive superstitious book.  Quick, let
>us find a Times of India correspondent to write about it.  We should point
>out that IIM using the Gita is antiquated, irrelevant, anti-secular, anti-
>Muslim, Hindu revivalist, caste-ist, fascist.
You are unwittingly  right so far but no more in the next sentence.
>The Gita is written in a dead
>language which no respectable person should want to learn. A few sneers will
>help.

Have a peaceful and joyous day.
