Dear Editor,
The letter from Swami Aksharanandaji on April 18 2008, ‘Freedom of thought and religion must not be taken for granted,’ brought out an excellent analysis of the many ways in which the Hindu religion was and is still being compromised, not only in Guyana, but wherever Hindus are present globally.
It is commonly accepted that the requirement for a harmonious society is a good moral upbringing, coupled with a sound education and a respect for all religions. When these elements constitute the main focus of parents and children’s dialogue, and are adopted in our school system, then we are paving the way for a society of rational leaders.
