Fresh air...By: Amit Purohit | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 12:57:25 PM Reply | Forward I can say and all Congress,Communist and caastiest seculars will differ that this is also secularism by choice and not as vote fetching gimmick.

Great Step to religious toleranceBy: Hari Mohan | Wednesday , 8 Jul '09 11:52:21 AM Reply | Forward What an excellent story. It is good of the muslim priests to offer aarti as well as the hindu folk to continue to worship at the temple. God is everywhere and the sooner we all appreciate each others faith the better for the future.
