This is a subject i am extremely interested in but know virtually nothing about. To remedy that, i asked an Indian friend to help out. She (based on advice from Acharya/Tanaji) looked up the multivolume set on Indian history by one Majundar (sp?). I did not realize at that time but this is an eleven...

This reminds me of the antics used by folks like sadler in this forum - if you criticize israel, it becomes anti-semitism. No, it does not equate to anti-semitism. As long as the criticism is valid. A lot of jews/israelis/americans on IDF criticized the Lebanon action of the IDF. They did not quest...

Thank you. I hope one day that indian students will have access to their own history too. That they are told the truth (note: i did not say Indian perspective BUT the truth.

Shiv, good post. If you ask every religion in India...that is their standard answer. Regardless of whether that is the truth or not. Christians in India feel the same and so do the Muslims. Each group is basically trying to protect their own turf, and at the same time wanting it to grow . (by each,...

In this case, i do not disagree with you. Again, i do not disagree. ... That is precisely what i was requesting.

That zeal is ONLY reflected by ONE kind of monotheism,- the Abrahamic form of monotheism, and the story of his smashing idols, which - unfortunately for the Jews - forms an important part of the 'history' of Christian and Islamic traditions. In this case, i do not disagree with you. There is no oth...

But some are not tolerant of Hindus and Hindu sentiment. Tolerance for those who do not tolerate Hindus in India is fading. I hope that this happens soon enough. In the final analysis, one can see that it may well be in the best interests of indian christians themselves to stop this EVJ-PBUH combin...

For a Hindu, the right to be left alone also is an individual right. 8) Something that the EJs abuse. You seem to have a fixation that if the red carpet is not rolled for EJs in India by Hindus, then Hindus must be an intolerant people. I think the inherent contradiction of your view is obvious to ...

The only time I discussed Wojtyla recently was in the context of the collaboration between Walesa, Wojtyla and Reagan to defeat communism. Perhaps this is anti-semitic to you.
