It seems highly likely that Musharraf following failure at Kargil in 1999 adopted a similar model of building and sustaining an Pan-India jihadist insurgency, which he has prioritised even over Kashmir. Johann: Interesting. What is Musharraff's aim in making this change? Why did he change? Is he ac...

I read about Gandhi's philosophy and his behaviour. I now consider him a psycho or a man faking wisdom who did immense damage to our civlisation and cause. The more I read about him, the more disgusted I feel. His petty fads (goat's milk, bowel movements), his personal jealousies and favouratism (p...

op-Ed in Pioneer, 13 Dec., 2007 Is it not surprising that medieval Hindus never produced a single document that critically examines Islam ? It was done by Raja Rammohun Roy (who knew Arabic), Girish Chandra Sen of the Brahmo Samaj, Swami Dayanand -- all in British India; whereas Ram Swarup and Sita...

Bhima must have been fascist RSS member . Who enrolled him < Lord Krishna ? :oops: I hope Bhima's progeny learn that violence is bad, it only begets more violence, and that more could have achieved by love and use of satyagraha.

Bhima after all proceeded to wash himself in Duryodhana's blood after breaking open Duryodhana's thigh - the lap that Duryodhana had forced Draupadi to sit on. How violent of Bhima. He should have declared satyagraha instead of resorting to violence. He should have gone for fast. Given that he was ...

54 out of the 75 regiments from 'Bengal' (which then included much of Ganjetic India) in the EIC's Bengal Army mutinied, and most of the remainder were disarmed and disbanded before they could mutiny. Disarming meant that at the very least they werent available for military duties. Without the 16,0...

I specifically referred to the conduct of Sikh troops during 1857. They refused to go over to the other side despite *enormous* pressures, inducements and opportunities to do so, and thus constituted the bulk of reliable troops available to the British at the time. Had the Sikhs revolted in 1857, t...

1857 was an absolute cataclysm for the Muslims of Ganjetic India. They launched a divisive and savage jihad against the Nazrani/Angrezi in the name of Deen-e-Islam and the Padishah, failed, and were paid back with only slightly less savagery in the same currency they had attempted to use. They suff...

Re: The Great Hindu debate
The Great Hindu debate Sharia or Islamic law allows the application of collective guilt and punishment of a group for the crime of an individual from that group. Such crimes are described in sharia as qesas crimes. I am wondering anyone could provide me some idea about collective punishments in Isl...

While thinking about the India being Islamic, a thought occured to me. It is more accurate to describe India as not Islamic, but as being Dhimmic. But being a Dhimmi has a very special meaning in Islam. Theoretically it is how Islam sets down some clear rules for non-Muslims to live and breath in a ...

Let me quote from memory one of IG's more underhanded foreign policy actions. She had India apply for OIC membership early in the group's formation as a (get this) 'semi-izlamic state'.

SBakwa makes an interesting point - that pseudo swecularism in India is due to vote bak politics. And that is because the Hindu vote is divided dramatically due to caste.
