Thought provoking

Sir, - The articles and illustrations in your Folio on Faith (Sept. 23) were excellent and well-timed. The Kaaba (which means the `cube') by Mr. H. Masud Taj clarifies how the cube represents the global consolidation of a sacred centre and the mother of all monumental art. Truly faith and reason are complementary, not contradictory ways of seeking the truth as admirably said in the first sutra by Mr. Rudolf C. Heredia in his article, `Dichotomy or dialectic'. It is interesting to note Mr. Baiji Parthan's well-reasoned conclusion that technology's newest venture is intrinsically similar to the one that has always been the domain of faith and religion.

All attempts to politicise faith and religion are corroding influences which require to be curbed as argued well by Mr. Ranjit Hoskote in the article, ``Faith in Transition.''
