It is a news to me. I am Hindu and proud to be Hindu but do not follow any rituals, then no question of going to any temples, not even Rameshwaram, Puri, Dwarka, Badri Nath, Kailash than wahat to talk of this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
