Re: Not all Christians believe this way

I can agree partially with what has been commented by Shiv on Christians. I have been born into Sixth Generation Christian family. I can make a case that many of the institutionalised Christians (so called mainline) do not want other religious folks to join into Christian fold. Ofcourse there are a...

Many top level people may want to stop these kind of mails, but fielded as charity mails, any opposition even from a top manager can get his feet burning when blamed as an RSS fanatic. That is not a difficult thing to do. For one, classify ANY of these mails as "Chain Mails" and request n...

Doc, I think seriously that Hinduism must resort to propagation. I also think that in ancient times, the whole population of what is now India could not have become Hindu instantaneously. It had to have started somewhere and propagated from there on to the rest of the land and beyond. That has the ...

Some additional thoughts that followed from my reply above. Hindu Philosophy embodies timeless truths that do not call for or require protection. Truth survives by itself, in the absence of anything. Even humans are unnecessary for the truth to stand by itself. But Hindu philosophy merely supplies ...

Pulikeshi (or anyone) - if we assume that the left side of my flow chart requires Muslims, would you agree that the right side is where we are headed nowadays - including on this forum. I belive that is so, and even NOT going further up the path on the right is a step forward. It will require no mu...

Re: Shiv - may be OT, but kindly clarify

What is the purpose of our discussions or of any forum of BR-kind. Is it just for people to exchange ideas and update themselves for their own way of countering the threats? Or is it for lurking people with capable machineries to find guidance from these archives. ? Is there any conscious attempt t...

From the Irfan article: The backward classes among Muslims are now organising for extension of benefits of affirmative actions to the backward classes to them. In doing so, they emphasise their regional identity and seek to know what caste their pre-Islamic forefathers belonged to before converting...

A brief glance at the picture show how much groups A and B have to fight. They have to oppose group C, D and E Talk about coming back from an experience of doing this just that, a few hours ago. It is Sunday morning, where I live and I volunteer for a culture class/Hindi course in Massa land. The t...

Shiv - may be OT, but kindly clarify

Shiv, [Advise in case this is inappropriate in this thread or forum] Most of your arguments seem well thought-out and many time meticulous in details and rigor. Hence you would be the best person to clarify these to me. I had been a silent lurker for years in many forums, mainly to understand and an...

Murugan, Shiv is just trying to point out that RSS should learn to come out of its conventional shell and use more intelligence than emotions. For whatever they righteously do or not do, they get branded as extrimist right wing hate mongers and anyone defending hinduism will be called as RSS goon w...

Re: RSS should be ready of constructive criticism

I am sorry to have made you hurt by using the term "Abrahamic" when jews are the ones mainly represented by him. My Apologies. No apologies necessary. But i'd certainly appreciate it if you could spread the word. The more folks (including many jews) learn that this is a "forced"...

Re: RSS should be ready of constructive criticism

Murugan, Such large organisations like RSS which tends to represent the woes of patriotic Indians and indian ethos should be more intelligent and cunning than their opponents. Instead it helped itself to be branded as an extrimist organisation, though the truth is far from the propaganda of Abraham...
