NEED OF THE HOUR !
People have to realize that no 'god' [the greatest delusion]would come down from non existent heaven to restore goodness and to sort out mess created by man.It is man alone who can clear up this mess since it is his own creation.To become creator and shaper of his destiny,men and women have to outgrow from the false legend promoted by the teaching of various religions.Because of these teachings,superstitions and regressive thought process is still hanging round the neck of majority of Indians.Intellectual life of majority of the Indians ,is very much permeated with prejudices,blind faith and sectarianism, metaphysical assumptions-all that is contrary to scientific temper,supremacy of reason and humanism.It is ironical that this very segment is most vulnerable and susceptible to the socially malignant concepts of fundamentalism and obscurantism.They are living under illusion and euphoria that 21st century messiah is coming soon to settle their all problems-once for all !
