On the recent happenings, (Idols drinking milk, sea water turning sweet and a visage of Sai seen on a building), Soldiers spoke to DefenceIndia: |
|
|
| Vice Admiral R B Suri (Retd). |
It’s a question of faith. One can start to believe many things.
They (The People) are allowed to do anything, but there is no scientific explanation for this. But Modern society should not mind all these.
India is a democratic country and everyone has a right to do whatever he or she likes. It is a not a question to be worried on, Its all about faith. |
| |
| Rear Admiral Raja Menon (Retd). |
Logically, people should not believe but sometimes due to some tragedy, people begin to search peace and support and if they get peace from all this, then it is OK.
Some people think that after feeding milk to ‘moortis’, they will get success in business, in this way, its really very bad… |
| |
| Wing Commander Yuri (Retd). |
People should not be superstitious. Some people influence others by making stories…and taking advantage of emotions for their own greed; But they should think rationally. Science has gone so far and these things have no logic. This is really not good.
|
| |
| Major General Ashok Mehta (Retd). |
Whatever people want that should happen, because no one can go against his or her emotions. If people think that they are doing right, then its OK; I personally don’t believe in these things but of others have feelings for these kind of things, then its OK. |
| |
| Air Commodore Raghubir Singh (Retd). |
All these are a way to earn money for some people; You can see scientifically that due to surface tension, ‘idols’ soak milk. Now Pluto has lost, what would happen to Astrology? So, there is a science behind everything. We should go forward and must have scientific explanations for all these things. People should think rationally, otherwise we would go back (in time).
People can’t progress if they still keep on believing in all these things. So, to progress, we must think rationally. |
