According to the UN, over 50 million girls in India are missing: having been aborted, killed, or neglected to death simply because they are female. In some regions, no baby girl has survived in years. Help us make a difference.

Thank you for commenting and joining the group, Shree! This information is very helpful. I agree, with the world opening up on a global, intellectual, and spiritual level, hope is blossoming for lifting the shrouds of ignorance and division.

dharma is differ than religion in the sence of deep analysing
but religion is close to dharma dharma is way of life .dharma giveing happy in household life dharma giveing moksha,moral,values of life
Religion preaches ethics, good character, virtues and values. So Religions
ought to unite. But in practice they divide due to lack of understanding of the
purpose of religion. Also wrong interpretation by followers of the teachings of
Prophets and founders result in tragic consequences. Politicians have always
used religion to gain power and to acquire territory and followers.
talents etc, and to ignore all the divisive factors. MNCs are operating in many
nations where their managers are drawn from all over the world. Narrow loyalties
to nationality, race and religions are waning. 200 million tourists leave their home
and travel all over the globe every year. They see for themselves how others
think and live. Finally, education levels are going up which removes rigidity and
opens up the mind. Genuine secular and democratic governments try to reduce
religious conflicts. The need to separate religion from politics is being recognized.
These are favorable factors which promote inter-religious understanding.But certain developments during the last fifty years may help to break
down the barriers caused religious fanaticism and extremism. Technology has
brought peoples of the world together. Rapid transport, Instant communication, IT
and E-mail, Computers and associated gadgets have enabled peoples all over
the world to know more of each other, thus removing ignorance and opening up
their minds to facts. Globalization of business and trade has compelled
industrialists and mangers to focus on growth, profits, raw materials, markets,World population now stands at 6.2 billion. Christianity with 2400 millions
is the majority religion in 100 countries, and Islam with 1200 million in 60
countries. Hinduism has 820 million followers who are the majority in INDIA and
tiny Nepal. Buddhism has 600 million adherents who are majority in 10 countries
in the East, who coexist with other cultures following the teachings of Confucius
and Lao Tse.
Four religions were born in West Asia – Judaism, Zoroastrianism,
Christianity and Islam. Four, though not religions in the strict sense of the word,
are followed in the East – Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism and Zen. Four were
born in India – Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. The last three are
considered to be off-shoots of Hinduism, but jainism& buddism is totally different from hinduism jain ism belive karma siddantha& 7 philosophical thought saptha tattva&navapadhartha
jainism simple live highthinking worlds 50,00000 falloweres through out world majority of jain in india&usa though they have separate identities Christianity and Islam do not believe in rebirth. Hindus accept that all
religions are different paths to the same God. Sri Ramakrishna declared that he
realized God by observing the principles and practices of Christianity and Islam.
Islam is against idol worship. But jainism ,buddism Hindus, though believing in one Supreme Being, pray to hundreds of Gods and Goddesses as different manifestations of
the one God.
