“I’m Christian But Still Fond Of Hinduism”: Supreme Court Judge KM Joseph

Judge KM Joseph of the Supreme Court stated on Monday that he is a Christian but remains very devoted to Hinduism.
The remark was made by Justice Joseph, who presided over a bench that also included Justice BV Nagarathna, during a hearing on a petition calling for the establishment of a renaming commission to restore the “original” names of historical, cultural, and religious sites throughout the nation that had been “renamed” by barbaric invaders.

“I am a Christian but still I am very fond of Hinduism, which is a great religion and should not be belittled. The heights which Hinduism has reached and is mentioned in Upanishads, Vedas and Bhagavad Gita is unequal in any system. Hinduism has reached great heights in metaphysics. We should be proud of this great religion and not belittle it.

“We should be proud of our greatness and our greatness makes us magnanimous. I am trying to study it. You should also read the book of Dr S Radhakrishnan on the philosophies of Hinduism. In Kerala, there were several rajas who had donated land for churches and other religious places,” he said.
