Regarding your point of 'traditions and rituals' taking over, are you saying is it a good thing or a bad thing becoz traditions and rituals are also a part & parcel of Hindu society.

And Mudy if you could please share with us an example of 'Both sides tries to be better than other in following RIGHT way of tradition and rituals' as the 'RIGHT' way the boys and girls side try to follow 'rituals & traditions' could also form part of Hindu narrative as members of this forum would get more knowledge of the RIGHT way these tradition and rituals are performed.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Person/Persons who had compiled these pages had made reference to Doniger,Macdonell,Courtright,Michaels,Keay,Mate,Goldberg who are known for anti-hindu views, infact very proud of their views. Wiki is not a good source because its very difficult to know who own the page. .
For Hindu narrative we should have practicing Hindus narrative, not from Univ professors from Michigan or Berkeley.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

So your basic reservation is whether the narrative coming is from a non-Hindu source or becoz 'they' may have anti-Hindu views? Also, though we both, I think, totally agree that Hindu narrative has to come forth from a Hindu(i.e. it has to be Hindu's perspective) but would we totally reject any non-Hindu source while compiling such a narrative? Also, would like to know if a Univ. professor from Michigan and Berkeley has converted to Hinduism, would his/hers views still be rejected?

One more thing, merely becoz Wiki may not be a reliable source would itself disqualify Wiki per say though occassionally it may could throw up a good Hindu narrative?
