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".
