Leaving /and of
During our brief stay in In-
dia, we came in contact with
people of many different
religions...Hindus, Sikhs,
Christians, Muslims and
Buddhists.
Hinduism is, of course, the
main religion, and to the out -
skier, it seems a complicated
system of gods and leaser
gods. Unlike any other
religions, whose basic beliefs.
stem from the teaching of one
person, i.e., Jesus Chris-
tianity, .Buddha and Bud-
dhism, Mohammed and
Islam; Hinduism does not
have a specific founder. It is
a complex set of doctrines
and rules which encompass a
of people have died, so the
problem is deep rooted and
will not go away overnight.
One of the other offshoots of
Hinduism is Jainism which
presents an extreme form of
asceticism. We had a brief,
but interesting encounter with
a group of Joins on one of our
domestic flights. In the tiny
airport of Bagdogra, we saw
three white clad, hooded
young women hovering over
two elderly men in
wheelchairs, who were wear- •
ing white loin cloths, much
like Ghandhi used to wear. All
of them, men and women alike,
had . small, square masks
hanging over their mouths,

great range of beliefs, but
which all maintain the .doc-
trine of reincarnation.
A Hindu believes by obser-
ving certain ethics 'of
behaviour, he can improve
his spirit and be reborn into a
superior form of being. One of
the most important features
of Hinduism has been the
' caste system, which, in recent
times, has been outlawed, but
which, nevertheless, still
plays an important role in the
thinking of the average
Indian.
The Jains and the Sihks are
reformist groups of Hindus,
but are gtlite different from
each other. The Sihks live
mainly in the Punjab area
and while many of them are
peace loving farmers, there
are the elitist radicals who
are demanding special status.
The recent trouble with the
Sihks was just the beginning
to come to a head when we
were in India; there had been
four killings, and when we left
New Delhi, security had
tightened up considerably,
compared to what it had been
when we arrived.
The Indians we talked to
were very upset/over the
bloodshed and were hoping
the situation wouldn't erupt
into something like another
Northern Ireland. Of course,
since then, there has been the
seige at Amritsar, thot.ands

and each carried a small
white mop. We could only
deduce the men were invalids
and the women, their nurses.
However, after we had board-
- ed our plane and had the good
fortune to sit beside a very
friendly Indian man, he com-
menced to explain to us that
this was a group of Jains, who
believe all life is sacred.
Hence, the small masks are to
keep themffrom swallowing a
bug (which would seal its
fate), and the mops are to
brush the ground so they will
not step on and kill an ant or
any other crawling insect.
Since Jains cannot take any
kind of life, their religion for-
bids them from practicing a
number of occupations, but
our seat partner assured us
they are very astute lawyers
and bankers.
Buddha Gautama also
broke with Hinduism to begin
his religion of Buddhism
which spread quickly to China
and other Asian countries.
Islam was imported from
Persia, and the differences
between that religion and
Hinduism were the main
reasons for the separation of
Pakistan when;India received
Independence in 1947.
surprises too soon
It is said that Christianity
was brought to India by the
disciple, 'Phomas, so it has
been there for hundreds of
years. Nevertheless, it is still
a minority religion al h it
has been responsiblee for
many of India's hospitals and
schools. 1 ven today, we found
that the well-to-do Hindus
prefer to send their children
to Christian run schools.
Despite all the diversities
and the trouble we now read
about in the newspapers, my
friend and I found people of
different religions living
together very happily. In one
of the Christian homes we
stayed, friends of many
religions came to call, show-
ing, we thought, much more
tolerance and respect than we
often find in Canada.
When it came time to leave
all the colour and contrasts of
India, we were very sorry.
Nevertheless, on our last day,
we rose at 3 a.m. so we could
be packed and at the airport
to catch our 5:30 flight. Ewen
