...Harvard students fully aware of the reputation that their school carries, a reputation which they can either uphold or destroy? My experience on January 4 told me that either they are not aware or that they don't care. Chanting that RPI students are MIT rejects, and then putting down MIT, shows independent observers a few things about those who attend Harvard. First, it shows that those at Harvard are a little behind the times in terms of their knowledge about the country's leading technological universities.

Yet this interpretation misstates, the true nature of the Hindu religious tradition; the non-credal, non-dogmatic nature of Hinduism allows it to be extremely pluralistic and to uphold coexistence with the Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs. Moreover, to pit Sikhism and Hinduism against one another overlooks the long history of cross-religious linkages.
