Swedish Model, Teach all major religions mandatory for all

Below mail sent as input suggestion to New Educational Policy.

Namaste,

The country is seen in turmoil over lack of proper understanding on religious values. Kashmir Youth and even school students are in streets, why? Do we provide a platform for all children to learn,understand and accept that all different religions talk on love,compassion and truth?

Sweden schools, make it mandatory for all children before they complete their school life to learn about all major religions of the world for all students. I felt its a shame that children in Sweden learns that Caste is Security, while here in India we are taught Caste is bad, how ignorant we are of our own strengths? Please bring real secular education of treating all major religions equally, making it mandatory for all children.

If Rene Guenon talks of Caste for preserving Hinduism, Jagadguru Kanchi Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi elaborately explains all these....why are we denied all these wisdom? Is not education which says 'thamasoma jyothirgamaya', and we claim SatyameJayam, its time we share these truths to our future generation without sacrificing more human suffering and lives because of ignorance.

If Christianity is given the special treatment in Sweden, for exactly the same reason in India Hinduism could be given special treatment.

Also attached contents of Swedish religious book about Hinduism, which may be a shock to many of us about how Caste is Security to Hinduism.

The sister religions of Hinduism, for example, the religions of Greece and Rome, have long since perished. But thanks to the caste system with the Brahmins as safe-guarders of religion we have today a Hinduism which is still living and which down to this century has produced flowers of sanctity.

In a move described as "the government steamrollering the agency", Björklund has decided that Christianity should continue to receive special treatment when teaching religion in schools.

“It’s not that the Christian religion is better than any other, rather it has to do with the enormous influence Christianity has had on our country, and still does have in our part of the world,” Björklund explained.

The agency had proposed that the world's five main religions, which are all taught in religious education classes Swedish schools, should be given equal emphasis.
