I would be surprised if the soldiers of various Indian kingdoms didn't indulge in that, even if not on a wide scale. This statement doesn't prove that it was happening. I can understand that it is natural for frustrated menfolk in the army to do such things and it happened in various parts of the w...

A highly probable explanation why India did not attack others is, it did have a reason to. It had fertile land, wealth, knowledge and people. What would it gain by attacking others in deserts? Cost of taking war to far off teritory was more than the gains one Indian king would make out of it. One th...

Since we are talking about Muhammed's own intention of attacking India, I would like to narrate another story I heard about him. Before going to the details (of course from my memory) let me make full disclaimer that personally I have no evidence to back it up. If anybody here has heard this story b...

These are small things we can do in individual capacity. Make sure that all of them are done in pure cash. No credit c...

Sajan, why do you hate Hindus, especially upper castes so much? Is there a basis - perhaps personal to this hatred? I don't think it is Sajan's personal hatred. It comes naturally to anybody indoctrinated by left. I have personal experiences of talking to such people and everytime those discussions...

You just read kerala history, at least from the time of Marthanda Varma. That should provide you with 2 centuries of history at least, and then say that there was no caste discrimination and caste was NOT based on birth. That is the point many posters here are making. That was the time India starte...

These are temporary phenomenon. These votes will go back once they resolve their issues and resentment against LDF grows. Not really.

From what I have seen, as individuals there is more dislike for Communists than for any other political movement. This is probably why the UDF had more KeralaCongress and IUML factions compared to the LDF I don't think this holds true anymore. Look at the results of last couple of elections and you...

About the beef thing again, how did beef eating become important for muslims? Islam originated in Arabia and there are no cows in that area. Same question about christians.

The beef eating thingy is more than individual right and has its own agenda. I read that in Europe, when jews or muslims were converted to christianity, their change of faith were tested by observing their willingness to eat pork. In India when hindus were converted to islam, their commitments to ne...
