The fact that the term "Hindu" was not coined before the Muslims came does not extincts their existence from history. The people who are so staunch against "Hindu India" may not even realize that their own ancestry runs back to what is now known as Hinduism.

Some people cannot help but make it aptly clear that all these movements are basically of the nature of "Muslims against the rest". Some people really are unable to learn to co-exist - and that is why all such societies are doomed to end in a mess.

Democracy does not means compromising one's territorial integrity. Democracy means giving all the freedom to the citizens that is lawfully correct. The only reason the valley people want separation from India is because of religion and that is totally an unacceptable cause. When the rest of the...

Well at least some of them understand their own fallacies perfectly well.

Even if the entire Jammu & Kashmir asks for autonomy/independence, India is entirely justified to hold these territories. There is absolutely no moral grounds to demand separation, especially not in the name of religion. The Kashmiris have every freedom under the constitution of India and the...

I think you (or the website from where you have quoted) have caught the right nerve. The real issues of the nation, concerning the majority and the common people, are always on the backbench. All those who choose to ignore such issues are doing disservice to the nation. Some people are only...

Lord Ganesh: The Idol, Physical Atributes and Symbolism

Burning/Destroying religious symbols or for that matter any symbol of social respect/reverence cannot be considered freedom of speech by any sense - it would rather be surely called an attack or insult. But if that is the case in the US, then it reflects very poorly on its secular credentials.

How is the burning of a religious text legal in the US? That has come as the first surprise to me.

I did not meant with respect to what state should do or not. I am only speaking in a general way, that parents should not restrict sources of information/knowledge for their children, and the society in turn, should encourage all parents to be so much liberal to the least. Of course, what...

If you are talking about contents that are inappropriate ethically or from the point of view of law, I agree. But in all other cases, if you exhort this thinking, then it is promoting intolerance. Then it is no different from the government thrusting upon you what you cannot do. Even with...

These two statements do not go along side-by-side, do they? Why block the channel? Why block any source of knowledge? As T-Faz said in one of the posts here, learning about "others ways" would make you much more mature and tolerant. Choosing and blocking any source of information/knowledge...

Again that is not a choice you can make. I think I have only heard predictions about Pakistan failing as a nation, whose possibility still stands firm. Nothing like Pakistan breaking up though. Struggling against hardships is courageous, yes, but to say that it makes Pakistan the bravest...

And do you have an alternative to "continue"? Astute, indeed, is your ability to exhibit your courage.

And so in parallel, development and proper education needs to spread, but that is also part of politics and those in governments, providing aid to such criminals will again be roadblocks to such progress. You need to clean politics, you need to have deserving people in there. If you do that...

The best approach is not the scientific approach, rather the economic approach. If you are "really willing" to stop this menace, you have to make rigorous efforts to choke their funding or their source of funds. But the fact that they are able to procure funds, equipments, weapons etc and...

What if he turns around, after say in a year or so, and say that God did create the Universe? Is everyone here who are so rejoicing with this news turn to believe in God or his hand in creation? Because I am quite optimistic that he will. To all such people, let me present a small mind bender...

The ancient India was much more prosperous than present day America. Technological innovations/developments is not the parameter of quality of life, if that is what you wanted to convey.

I think we should make effort to bring to light how much and how profoundly India has influenced the rest of the world, for not so cognizant members of the forum.

Third person view perhaps? You should know that all these people have much more knowledge about India than you and me, i.e., the common people of India. It is not about them being "goras", it is about their intellectual capacity and comprehensive wisdom. To Ganga Good work and thanks for sharing.
