How is the caste system related to induism?

It is shameful that caste system is still prevalent to some extent in remote villages of states like Bihar, U.P. of India.Poeples of lower castes whom Gandhiji referred to as 'Harijans' are still subjected to untouchability. They are not allowed to enter shrines, draw water from village wells and so on. In fact, they are treated as people of lower strata.Due to their ignorance for illiteracy, governments aids/grants rarely reach their hands. Until the mindset of people is changed and these people are brought to the national mainstream, the situation is unlikely to change in the near future.


How many times a year do the Gods allow mortals to see them?

There is no definitive answer to this question as beliefs and myths about the interactions between gods and mortals vary across different cultures and religions. In Greek mythology, for example, interactions between gods and mortals were fairly common. In some traditions, gods are believed to be ever-present and can be seen or felt by those who are receptive to their presence.


Do religious beliefs and laws work together?

They can. In most Islamic Republics, the law of the land is the Koran, and so there would rarely be any conflict between religious belief and the law. In other places there may be some conflict, but these conflicts should be workable. For example in the US people are free to practice religion and to observe any laws connected with religion as long as they do not violate the civil law in the process. Many practice the Jewish dietary laws and no one is going to suggest that there is any problem with the civil law. Catholics must receive communion at least once a year in order to remain Catholics, and civil authorities are not going to prevent someone from obeying that law. If a religious law required that someone be severely beaten, or kept prisoner in his/her own home, then the civil law would have to step in. In the US, everyone's right to practice religion freely is protected by the fact that there is one law, the civil law that comes from the People's adherence to the Constitution. While there may be some examples where the Constitution and local law would trump religious law, it is all part of the greater good and the greatest protection of everyone's basic rights.


What religion was Tupac Shakur?

How he was raised:He was raised a Christian by his mother. He is shown in many photos wearing a cross. He also had a tattoo of a cross on his back.He never claimed a religion:Shakur never professed following a particular religion, but his lyrics in singles such as 'Only God Can Judge Me' and poems such as The Rose That Grew from Concrete suggests he believed in God, meaning he was a deist.Bottom line:No one can say for certain, but the arguments are as follows:There are those that say he is merely deist because of his aversion to organized religions.There are those that say he is a Christian because he has been quoted as saying "the reason I can sell 6 million records is because of my faith in Jesus, in God."

How can religion be used to bridge the gap existing among communities in today's context?

Religion does prove useful at times in maintaining group cohesion and discipline, but rarely assists in bridging gaps between or among communities. Instead, religion has a powerful tendency to divide. Even when two communities adopt the same religion, that religion sooner or later splits, creating new divisions, as we see between communities that follow Shia Islam and Sunni Islam, or Catholic and Protestant Christianity.The one way religion can sometimes be used, although in practice this is rarely tried, is to appeal to the common message of all religion, for peace and goodwill.
