Re: Muslim Scholars in Pakistan..learn from Pope please
May be its symbolic (I don’t know the history behind washing feet thing in Christianity, but even in our Sindhi culture, I have heard a phrase ‘uski bahu uske paon dho kar peeti hai’ referring to reverence, respect and good relationship among the traditional rivals saas and bahu).
Another aspect about religious lot in subcontinent to ponder over is we all love to criticize caste system in Hinduism and their idea of untouchable and stretch this even as basis for two nations theory leading to partition. But when it comes to accepting different sects (leave alone different religions), over the time, we have developed so much ego that even sometimes people don’t lose a chance to abhor eating with other sects / taking food from other sects. I have heard on this forum and even in real life that Shia spit in food while they offer something to sunnis. This is level of tolerance our religious scholars promoted over the period in a country, which according to them, was made as Hindus considered Muslims untouchable (Muslim Pani Hindu pani rant in our books is the reference).
