May 1998
For the last time this century the Indian city of Haridwar in the foothills of the Himalayas was the setting for the mother of all festivals.
Haridwar is one of the seven most important sites in the world for devout Hindus. Here the River Ganges enters the plains of India. For this year's Kumbh Mela bathing festival a staggering 7 million Hindus have arrived. After three months of dancing, the characterful Bath of the Saddhus, the reclusive Hindu holy men, takes Place. According to Hindu mythology, the waters of the Ganges turn into the nectar of immortal life during this auspicious time. To bathe is to gain immortality, and millions do. The atmosphere of the scene is like a rave, whistles blowing, crowds everywhere. But with their thick dreadlocks and ash-covered bodyguards (nargas), the Saddhus steal the show. This year's festivities took Place without violence - proving India's Holy men can show more restraint than its politicians.

I want to request all the Hindus to stop reacting to the comments made by Pakis(may be some Indians Muslims too). Hatred can not be stopped by hatred, let them abuse, they have been doing it for centuries and that is why the non Muslim world relate them to terrorism. On the other side, we Hindus belong to religion of piece and tolerance, and we respect all the religions. People from all the religions except Muslims respect each others religion. Many Indian Muslims are also good,not like Pakis.

I would rather be a Hindu than a murdering fundamentalist muslim. Sunni and Shia can't even stop killing each other. And what hope do the Sufi's have.
As for your idea's on reincarnation I don't know but it will be gods will (if there is such a thing). I like to think of muslim fundamentalists being reincarnated as Hindus. Or what about a Sunni becoming a Shia or even a Jew.
To me it doesn't matter there are good Hindus, good Shias, good Sunnis good Christians, good Buddhists and the others.

I do not support your ideas. As a Muslim you should not say bad to anyone. Your religion shows to respect not to disrespect :).

As a Muslim from Afghanistan I beliveve tha every human being is free to follow his/her own religion and practice their own beliefs. In the last chapter of Quran it is clearly written that let everyone practive their own religion and everyone will be judged according to their own beliefs/books. I believe that there is only 1 creator with different names (Allah, God, Goth, Bagwan, Aloha,Khuda) and etc. Prophet Mohammad said: " Best human being is that who respects others and their religions".
