Distribution of a book, that too in a school, should not be seen as a crime. Moreover, everyone should read the Bible. It is, if nothing, a famous book. We should similarly distribute the Gita and invite the students to listen to talks on Bible and Gita. We would be more influential because Bible treats man as a weakling requiring faith in Jesus (who himself did not have faith and cried to God for forsaking him while on the cross - thereby requiring his followers to cover-up his failure by inventing the fable that he arose from death!) whereas Gita treats man as the source of all power and calls man to wake up to this fact and realise his immortality.

Mr Venugopal is simply quibbling when he mentions that distribution of bible should not be taken as a crime.It is quite funny that he thinks school children have no other work to attend to but strive to become experts in theology by indulging in comparative study of religion! Be that as it may why Mr Venugopal confines himself to Bible and Gita only? Why not Quoran or Tora or all together? To reduce the burden on children? Small mercy indeed.Hundreds of thousands of theologians of Christian and Muslim religions for more than one thousand four hundred years,i.e,after the advent of Islam,have been busy studying comparative merits of their religions and they have not moved an inch forward. And now the merit is decided in a practical way- the Christians bomb all Islamic states for no concievable reasons and Islamists cut the throats of the christians for the same reason. Both together contibutes to the major chaos of the world.And think of of it-it is done in the name of the two books, the Bible and Quoran. Mr Venugopal,pleae spare the children of the Bible also in the same manner you would not advise them to read the Quoran.
