Who remarked in the following way? “There is a danger of our religion
getting into the kitchen. We are neither Vedantists, most of us now, nor
Pauranics, or Tantrics. We are just “don’t touchists”. Our religion is in the
‘kitchen. Our god is in the cooking-pot, and our religion is “don’t touch me, I
am holy”. If this goes on for another century, everyone of us will be in a
lunatic asylum’.

the old habits of our people when the most sacred of our castes indulged in all
the abomi- nations? The dead and the burnt once for all and the dead past can
not, therefore, be revived’ ..
