"Organized religion, however, is different from the religion of the individual. Religious organizations may begin with the finest values but may succumb to other pressures and turn into tyrannical bodies. When this happens religion moves away from its root purposes and turns into an organization encouraging hatred and violence and opposing the initial values with which it had itself started."- Romila Thapar, The Past as Present
