They heard about India through mother Teresa. When they hear that India is no longer that, and may be better than them, they are most likely to have heartburn.

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...

Chola soldiers have been accused of looting & raping women in some of its territories captured in its northern borders. I do not know how much of it is true, and certainly don't think it is of the same magnitude as that of the Islamic hordes. It could very well be true as these were routine in ...

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...

... Most of the Indians in this audience will know the Trimurti â€“ the trinity in Indian mythology of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the sustainer and Shiva the destroyer. ... So, in conclusion, perhaps there really isn't that much distance between avatars in the mythological sense and avatars in the ...

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...

Faraz,

According to you, what percentage of Indian muslims think like you?
What should be done to make them more vocal?

We see moderate muslims like Kawaja, and you must have noticed what kind of jerk he is.

Is it correct if I say if I say from your name that you are a Shia.

One important offer India should make to Palestine is that it can supply huge quantity of condoms to help them control their population growth, hence reduce the number of children who suffer.

Couple of things I will suggest Indians, who travel to Malaysia, to do are: - tip Indian workers lavishly, and - contribute to any Indian community funds that are operational there. These are small things we can do in individual capacity. Make sure that all of them are done in pure cash. No credit c...

Actually India should give confusing signal. Some second level leaders of few parties, may be BJP, should say that NAM is dead while left and Cong leaders say it is still relevant.

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...

Nambudiris had tremendous power in Kerala till land reforms happened If that is the case, are you admitting that communists played as big a role as sri narayana guru in breaking the caste system and brhamin hegemony(through land reforms, incidently carried out by a kerala nambudiri, EMS). Efforts t...

Sajan wrote:Well, the point is, minorities don't consider communists as "untouchable" anymore unlike what Calvin said.

Why would minorities consider communists untouchable if communists can deliver them what they need on a platter?

You need to prove centuries of suppression. In Kerala, a famous legend is "Parayi Petta Panthirukulam" - translation - "12 kulas born to a Parayi (woman from Paraya - lowest - caste(?))" The thing is the husband of this Parayi was a Brahmin, and the children formed 12 castes (kul...

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

The Malabar rebellion was not much different from what happened in Pakistan side during partition (though not to that scale).

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.

shyam

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...
