Hindus Greet Jews

Hindus Greet Jews

Hindus have sent greetings to Jewish communities world over on Hanukkah (Chanukah), eight-day Festival of Lights beginning December 11.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a release in Nevada (USA) today, expressed warmest greetings on Hanukkah festival, wishing happiness, peace and joy to all the Jews.

Zed, who is the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that all religions should work together for a just and peaceful world. Dialogue would bring us mutual enrichment, he added.

Hanukkah (Hebrew word for “dedication”), with origins in second century BCE, begins on 25 Kislev and is observed by kindling of lights of Menorah. It celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, and of spirituality over materiality. It also refers to a legend of one day’s supply of the holy oil miraculously lasting eight days.

Judaism is a monotheistic religion of world’s about 14 million Jews whose most sacred text is Torah. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.

Bangladesh is known as Democratic Country But as per article ( section ) 70 of the constitution of Bangladesh all power lies or centralize within single hand that is the Party Chief.

Second one is very age old or left over British Colonial laws and Judicial System for ruling the people.

Due to which hard earned cash money of common people are spend behind thousands and lacs of pending suits or litigation in the court which may not be settled even in life time not to speak off any certainty of result

Now the question- who are direct beneficiaries for such Colonial laws which takes away valuable times of active life of both the contesting parties

Trillions of Dollars are spent to conduct these long pending suits or litigation in the courts of Bangladesh every year .

ARE THESE PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES ?

If not why the colonial laws and legal system are not changes yet ?

Experts are in opinion that in no way Bangladesh can face the current trend of advancement of Science and Technology like other Asian countries nearby Bangladesh

Even Bangladesh will not be able to dream the face of digital world with existing Colonial Laws and Legal Patterns

Third point which is most significant and important is the lack of accountability in every stage of life for people or for Government Personal / Officials
