Hinduism is a very inclusive, peacefful and liberal religion and I have no qualms about a Hindu faith school. There is even a place in Hinduism for aetheists. The idea is that we're all at different levels of spiritual evolution moving towards the same goal, so everyone is right for their level.

how many state funded Church of England or Catholic schools in India ?

Mike, Sole Street, England

Just wondering, will they be introducing the caste system to their students? And all the hindu students who have gained a place, are they all upper brahmin caste members? I'm against all religious schools, especially those that worship rodents and promote the suffering of 160 - 250 million dalits.

Who on earth (or anywhere else) thinks that segregation of children on the grounds of the religion of their parents is good for society?

This is complete and utter maddness, to ensure that people can live together ALL children should be taught together regardless of faith. They are the future and they should learn to work together and accept each others views from the earliest age possible.

It's a bad precedence. I would love to put my kid in a school where she is taught to understand appreciate different culture/religious practices. But these schools
will definitely create social fragmentation and especially it pose a great difficulty for them to amalgamate with the local culture

As a church-going, Lent-observing pure Hindu, I am proud to be an active British citizen. Hindus were feeling a bit left out as everyone else (Muslims, Jews, etc) had their own school! Integration, non-violence and respect for our host country and its faith will always be central to our existence.

Hi Les: As a Hindu who also visits my local Church for prayers & blessings, you will find majority of Hindus who believe this way & respect, appreciate Britain's democracy and loving tolerance. I hope you will not put all religions in one theme of minority.

May God bless you.

For goodness sake, we should stop state-funded religious indoctination of children. Our society is already fragmented - it is going to end up operating in completely isolated enclaves as people of different religions move into an area to try and get into a school of their faith. This is madness.

Donna Walker, Effingham, England

Religious beliefs should be learnt at home or by attending the church of your choice, it should not be apart of state education. We should be abolishing all single-faith schools in favour of secular education instead of bowing to the current politically-correct mania of appeasing the minority.
