Thank you for your sales pitch.:azn: Which nation? Well I'm talking about Christian conversions in India. It is all generally deceit and inducements unlike Islam which is growing mainly by it's population growth.

The reason why Quran is considered a violent book in the non-muslim world has nothing to do with the explicitly violent passages. As rightly pointed out by many posters, such passages are common in most scriptures and can be easily quoted out of context. I think the real reason lies in Islam...

Looks like we already have quite a few of them e-Nrega chaps on this forum.

Really beautiful! Baluchistan, I guess.

Historical is fine. But don't many of you guys take it as a guide for the present too?

I m not aware that any major Nepalese river rises in Tibet.

What right Government has to penalize people who want to protect their savings against a falling rupee? In any case, the Government hardly has any control in this matter. Already, 80% gold is coming through smuggling. Further restrictions will only whet public appetite for gold. The land market...

Nepal is in China?

And I guess they have largely succeeded. You lost the battle the day you accepted their spiritual supremacy. A highly cultured, highly intelligent , south Asian nation playing second fiddle to a barbaric beduin country - what could be more tragic?

You can bring a horse to water, but you can't force it to drink.;)

Indians know paper money is worthless which is why they are buying gold. Why should citizens suffer for Government's blunder of building the economy on hot money flows. Did he not know that easy come - easy go. Chiddu would of course love it if we put oursavings in the bottomless pit of stock...

Well I for one won't put it so simply. The greed component of course increases over time after a pilgrimage is famous. But then what is the point of having Shri Kedarnath is a difficult place which few people could access in the older days. If you want business, you build a shop in a bustling...

You are right... especially in all areas with Arya Samaj influence, Delhi included. In any case, worship is much more democratic in the North and Brahmin pujaris are desirable but optional intermediaries. One can go to the Garbhgrha of any temple and touch the deity. If you want the Pundit to...

The situation you describe may be true for south India, especially Tamil Nadu, but it is rather different in the North. Practice of Hawanas and pujas at home is quite common in the better well off families and this keeps us tied to Sanskrit. In a way, as English is a language for secular...

Who gives a fcuk.. Badshah ki Baadshahat dilli se palam tak.

For practical purposes, only Vedanta survives today.

Amartya Sen is not a "neutral voice". He regularly engages in "Hindu baiting" - a typical deracinated, left liberal, secular Bengali. That, an his inclination for socialist "Developmental Economics" a la the National Advisory council which makes him close to the Congree. He is simply...

The internet is in all countries, socialist ones included. Nothing to do with economists. And I agree that the bubble ponzi economy is largely the economist's creation. Doesn't do them much credit though.

Economists are the last "experts" we should listen to after their astounding success in making a mess of the world economy.

Logic can only take you so far. Religion is beyond logic. It is in the realm of metaphysics on whose axioms logic works. You can plant a tree only when a soil is right. In my opinion, there is no point arguing with persons whose minds are not yet ready. Spiritual awakening comes only with...
