There are no Dharmic religions. This terminology has only been used by Indian Hindus in order to turn Hinduism into a superior mother of all religions that were supposedly evolved from Hinduism and within the so-called geographical bounds of India. This despite the fact that the majority...

Which coffee was it - Vedic or Hindu.

Whatever happens, wash the stone everyday so that it could be quickly returned when the need arises.

I think you need to study more and much more before you comment about aspects you apparently have no knowledge about. Your shallow knowledge about your own faith and that of others merely highlights your uneducated and narrow bias and nothing more. Also, I would not like to compare the religions...

That is the biggest farce that you people continue to play around and then go on persecuting and killing the minorities at will. And I have not even mentioned the Naxals at all. By calling the Untouchables, Dalits does not reduce the scourge of being a Dalit or Untouchable in Indian societal...

The basic scripture Rig Veda and others as well, mention wars as primary themes, including the Mahabharata which though an epic is almost accepted as a scripture. Therefore wars are central to Hindu religion as it may, irrespective of the intended lessons drawn. Contrarily, Jihad is not only...

There are certain aspects which are similarly stated in the Christianity's old testament as well. The concept of a religious war has been indicated in Buddhist scripture Kala tantra also. Most religions therefore do highlight this aspect. Though I can provide you with a link, however in the...

Interestingly, the most pacifist and peaceful religion Buddhism also believes the same. It is mentioned in Kala Tantra. hmmmm ............ however, there are many who lay down clear distinction between Vedism and Hinduism.

Nope. The three trading outposts from where ocean going trade routes were utilized along Sindh and Balochistan coasts were trading ports and were archeologically identified as such. Even your favourite wiki states that. Indus Valley Civilization was known as Meluhha and is identified as such...

I agree that there is no justification to plunder. I think that there is a massive effort underway by a large faction of Hindus in India and abroad, in our contemporary era, to universalize Hinduism as a unitary religious entity.

So do yours - but lets please discuss history here.

What about many times more number of persecuted Sikhs who had to leave India and were forced to seek other nationalities. What about those Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and other Indian minorities who are persecuted day in and day out, by majority Indian Hindus and Indian security...

This may be your opinion, but Islam as a religion does not state anything of this sort. However, we are not discussing Islam here - not even remotely. I therefore request you to please stick to the topic. Thank you.

@Thirdfront, Malati J. Shendge, in his book, “The Civilized Demons: The Harappans in Rigveda,” Abhinav Publications, 2003, states that the claims about Lothal basin to be a Dockyard are at this stage rather doubtful unless some more evidence is unearthed to reinforce them. Which means that he...

Lord Shiva is not mentioned anywhere in the primary Hindu scripture Rig Veda or any of the other Vedas, irrespective of assimilating Rudra. The era which I am referring to Shaivism was a separate religion and was proclaimed as a monotheistic practice. And therefore the practice was not even part...

The IVC that existed east of river Sindh was within the geographical remains of Sindh river system and not Ganges river valley. There was and is a watershed that existed and does exist which distinctly separates the two regions. You did not give any reference to support what you stated. IVC had...

Though you are indeed an annoying person, yet at the same time you are surprisingly amusing as well. hahahahaha ------ what more can I say. It is you who wanted an academic link. There are many other referenced sites which state that Shaivism is a monotheistic religion. You may not like to...

You wanted sources from academic sphere – here it is; • Saivism - branch of Hinduism that worships Siva as the Supreme God. Followers of Saivism are called Saivas or Saivites. Saivism is a monotheistic faith. It is parallel to Vaishnavism in its monotheistic belief; its supreme God is the only...

Whereas words may be loaned from various languages, loaning a God is indeed a new for me. Though my naivete may yet get better of me.

I think the three operational commands, Northern, Central and Southern Commands already exist and are commanded by Lieutenant Generals. These commands function under the COAS at General Headquarters.
