Dear Walter, No one can defend witch hunting in any way.. and i appreciate your magnanimity in accepting this fact.. More details about witch hunting can be found at.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch-hunt Personally, i believe, that historic incidents should be discussed as it is and should not be used for allegations, caricaturing and for character assasinating.. how far the caste system has been distorted and manipulated to make it as one of the most evil things in the world, while in reality, it was NOT.. Please remember, how even raju charles, portrayed devadasi community, in ultimate negative form, rather than discussing facts as it is.. While devadasi system cannot be revoked, its really worthwhile to understand why devadasi community was denigrated.. In many of the earlier discussions, one of the members, even pointed that if NOT for christians, indians would have been living in jungles.. Next, witch hunting is result of many factors, the most of which are due to the concept of heresy..If we are really serious in correcting ourselves, then its ultimate to review the history in neutral perspective, and reform ourselves, to have a better and peaceful future.. To quote one example, the act of New life organisation in Bangalore, which had portrayed hindu gods as prostitutes and satans.. a thing that happened in 21st century, by the supposedly educated persons.. Such things can be avoided, if we could understand the underlying reasons of the past historical incidents like witch hunts, inquisitions, instead of merely stating and accepting the facts..
