US bank cheque printed, 'Hinduism is most scientific'

US Bank Cheque
US Bank Cheque
 Mumbai: Recently Hindu Voice received a one-year subscription payment from a reader in USA. On this cheque the sentence "HINDUISM IS MOST SCIENTIFIC" is printed in capital letters . A copy of the cheque is reproduced near.

The editor of Hindu voice says, 'While we do receive many subscription cheque from NRIs in USA & UK (mostly from unknown subscribers as Hindu Voice is promoted by many overseas well-wishers through internet), we found many things pleasantly surprising in this particular subscription check.'

'The subscriber is one Steve Brown. The gentleman does not seem to be a person of Indian origin, although Pushpa (an Indian) seems to be his wife. In the cheque, in the column "For", he has written "Jai Sri Krishna" in Hindi. Generally in this column the word 'magazine subscription' is mentioned. (We were wondering whether this cheque will be honoured by his bank, but that was not a problem for his bank at all.) In the cheque provided by his Bankers, Kirtland Federal Credit Union, the sentence "HINDUISM IS MOST SCIENTIFIC" is printed in capital letters. Can a bank in India do like this? Will not our secularists bounce on the bank for being communal?' (One Foreigner can understand the value of Hindu culture; but Indian can’t. This is very unfortunate! Indian should learn from this foreigner! – editor)

'Earlier we have reported how Deepavali and Gokulashtami is celebrated in the White House (USA) and the House of Commons (UK). Well, all this is possible in Christin-majority USA, but are prohibited in Hindu-majority India, although both claim to be 'secular' democracies. In his brief covering letter, Steve writes: "Please keep up the good work in the best interest of Dharma and the Vedic Rashtra ... Help unite and mobilize the Hindus". We are indeed proud of such subscribers, says editor'

In US, you are allowed to print whatever you want on your checks. In addition, there are many private companies which print checks.

S jain is an example of typical intellectual Hindu ready to point the negatuve or over anaylyze instead of being encouraging.
