It is high time we Indians hosted a theme-based international event that is, frankly, a bit whacky.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://desicritics.org/2007/10/10/100020.php">I have been mulling this for some time and think that one theme which we Indians should celebrate should be paganism. Coming to think of it, Hinduism is itself a bit pagan. And there is a resurgence of paganism in other parts of the world. The ancient pagan religions of Asatru and Druidism, as well as new age Wiccanism are gaining followers from around the world. A lot of Wiccans flock to Hampi every year.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://desicritics.org/2007/10/10/100020.php">I have come up with some ideas and outlines for such an event. I am warning anyone who is reading this that many of them are intently a bit outrageous. But I believe that those factors would only make it more popular, especially among the pagan crowd.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/67F74AEC-1B9D-4836-A722-F4637C4D6EAC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
