In India choirs are sung only in churches and not outside of it. Carolers go around towns and villages singing their carols not year around but only leading up to Christmas. Yes since you are such a great believer in everything you read on the internet, it must also be true that Russia is...

Rig veda leaves the nature of god and universe open to interpretation. It is not atheistic. Of all the schools of thought you presented here only the Carvaka school of thoughts comes anywhere close to what is atheism today. Carvakas were gross materialists and not very popular and hence it...

No, I would not because Jains had a literary tradition of chronicling their history while Hindus did not have. That is the difference. So while Hindus were not writing down stuff that happened to them in North India, the Jains and the Buddhists did note down their history rather meticulously...

Nope. You have no understanding of Hinduism and trying to make Hinduism = Islam is a FAIL. Dharma Yudh is not Jihad. You do not have a concept of Dharma in Islam. Islam is about rules and norms. Dharma is open, contextual, about principle rather than rules. Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic have...

Sorry, there is no similarity between Islam and Hinduism. None whatsoever. Jinns are not demigods. Allah has characteristic traits which the Nirguna Brahman does not have. Allah seems to do a lot of warning which Nirguna Brahman again has never done. So please do not try to conflate these...

Nope, they do not. The concept of God in Hinduism is very very different and the village Gods are not jealous gods. That dovetails with the Hindu concept of one God many forms, which is what the essence of Vedas is all about. This is not the case with the Islamic Gods which forbid worship of...

You should stop promoting JNU fed literature here. There was rule of war which was followed. No exceptions were ever there for that. It is one of the reasons Hindus lost later on too when the Islamic hordes came invading India. They just could not cope with the civilian causalities...

Please. No history revisionism here. This is not JNU. Again from your own link: It is said that in the aftermath of the Battle of Kalinga the Daya River at Bhubaneswar running next to the battle field turned red with the blood of the slain; more than 150,000 Kalinga warriors and about...

Hinduism existed in those lands always, that is paganism which is another name for Hinduism, just like the village gods in India have nothing to do with the vedic gods but are part of Hindu tradition. Egpytians may be dwelling in their own lands, but their current civilization has nothing to do...

Actually there is no account of any women and children being killed in the Kalinga war. It was explicitly a war between warrior and in the battle field.

From your own source "The massacre is not mentioned in any Jain accounts, and there is no historical record of an actual massacre having taken place. The incident could be a Shaivite legend created to prove the superiority of the Shaivite sect over the Jains." So despite all your best efforts...

Actually, Muslim loyalty is questionable in every non-Islamic state. So he was just being over generous. That is not usually the case for the Dharmic religions. So their loyalty is assumed by default. Perhaps you were there in non-visiting hours? Have you considered that?

There were no women or children killed in Kalinga war. It was death on battle field of only soldiers. Do not try to pull history out of your ***. Muslim Nizams and Sultans were killing their own subjects and that is what the Razakars were doing in Hyderabad. They were not killing Hindus of...

He said the Razakars were just killing Hindus as the Hindu kings killed Muslims. So I debunked his view and was trying to educate him. The Razakars were killing their own subjects and not some army of the enemy kingdom. While the Hindu kings never unleashed genocide on their own subjects...

Nations may accept other religions, but you gave a false example saying Hinduism was something not original to Indonesia and Malaysia but an imported concept which is not true since there is nothing before Hinduism there. They do not become part of the civilization if they adopt a religion...

Were they killing their subjects like the Muslim Nizams and Sultans, or where they killing enemy soldiers in war?

As far back as their history goes, they were associated with Hinduism. They did not have any pre-existing civilization before Hinduism.

You are talking of an ideal world. Have you seen an ideal country where no crime ever takes place ever? That would be Utopia, right? In chasing this mirage are you going to excoriate this country which has the next best thing, which is a low crime rate, as the worst country of all the...

But for the minor fact that most rapes happen in Islamic and Christian countries.

@magudi They will just corner themselves into political irrelevancy. Until now, they were viewed as benign group in India in people's perception. Hereafter they will stick out as a sore thumb. It is a good development.
