Group submission address: srh@rbhatnagar.csm.uc.edu Moderator contact address: srh-request@rbhatnagar.csm.uc.edu (Ajay Shah) For your newsgroups file: soc.religion.hindu Discussion about the Hindu dharma, philosophy, culture. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the call for votes: Hindu dharma (religious philosophy and way of life) is followed by over 650 million people in the world. Prominent among its teaching are the acceptance of various religious paths, and the sprit of universal family. Although there is soc.religion.eastern, soc.religion.hindu will be different. It will be the forum to discuss various Hindu docterines as they are applicable to day to day living. Unlike soc.religion.eastern, it will also be used as a forum to discuss various issues that affect Hindus living around the world. These issues include, environmental awareness from the Hindu perspective, war and peace, human rights and participlation of Hindus in political process to promote the universal ideals mentioned above. It will also be used as a forum for cultural news about Hindus from around the world. This forum will also be different from soc.culture.indian (sci) because, sci is more concerned with the issues affecting India, whereas soc.culture.hindu will be of interest to the people from around the world who are eager to learn about the Hindu dharma (religious philosophy + way of life) and culture. The moderation will be used mainly for netiquette. It will follow the same standards that have been followed on alt.hindu (which I moderate as well). Primarily, these are: 1. No personal attacks. 2. No "malicious attack" on Hindu dharma. Please note that although this sounds like a broad classification, it is not. On alt.hindu have rejected less than 5 out of over 3000 postings based on this criteria. 3. No commercial announcements (unless made for Hindu related books/fonts etc., and that too, it should be more informational than commercial) 4. No chain letters. 5. No posts that are outside the purview of the clearly defined charter for soc.religion.hindu (Please refer to the charter of the newsgroup). I have had to reject a total of less than 40 posts in about 3 years, and out of over 3000 postings for alt.hindu. So, debates and discussions are more than welcome, as long as it is "clean".
