I would call our country 'Buddhist India': PM Modi

[Samudra Manthan]

There are some life considered holier than others. The Hindu approach to the cow is a good example. All things may be equal but some are more equal than the others.

Only depending on their usefulness and to maintain a sense of humility and gratitude, essentially keeping us human.

Nalanda was ransacked and destroyed by an army under Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1193.Bakhtiyar khilji Destroyed the university thinking that it as Fort of the empire.

...may be you are too ignorant or Khiliji was too stupid who unable distinguish between fort and university.

I might sound insane when I said Universe is a hologram but this contention is actually a scientific theory.

This is what Hindus said all along anyways. World/Universe is a maya/illusion.

 

[Echo_419]

Do he knows Buddhism oppose the caste system? Dalits, Muslims should be equal to Hindustanist in the India.

Modi his party & its principal organization also oppose caste system

That is a logically flawed argument. First you say Atheist do not say God does not exist, then you go on to say it is not rational to believe in god at all. Well if you believe God does not exist rationally or irrationally, then you are saying God does not exist. No two ways about it.

It has contradiction and dishonesty built into it.

I said it is not rational for Agnostics to believe that god exists..and belief in something does not mean it exists....or not believing in something does not mean it does not exist.It is a question of certainty...you may not believe in Allah or Zeus or Osiris...but can you prove with certainty that they do not exist?...Assuming you are Hindu you may believe in Durga...can you prove with absolute certainty that she exists??Belief depends on existence...existence however does not depend on anyone's belief!

It is not rational for the person to disbelieve in God either, because the honest position is he/she does not know.

If you do not know something how can you possibly believe it without blind faith?I don't believe god exists(due to lack of evidence)...I might be wrong...thus I say I don't know...but since I do not know I am not going put my faith upon him/her/it and let my life be governed by his/her/its laws!

Logical flaws again. The existence of something or nonexistence certainly does not depend on anyone's belief or lack of it. But and a big BUT here we are talking about individual's beliefs. Beliefs by definition means faith and certainty of their belief being TRUE. I may be able to prove or not prove existence something is irrelevant, but if I believe it to be true, then for me it exists and is a certainty. That is why it is called BELIEF.

Belief does not depend on existence. That is why BELIEF is not synonymous with PROOF. Once atheists are on the terriroty of belief, and believing God does not exist, then they are screeching out loudly that God Does Not Exist.

Even Romila Thapar doesn't buy that account.

Even?? Why do you think Ms. Thapar who otherwise is anti-Hindu(as Sanghis say) would do that? If her accounts about history of India is wrong/manipulated, then this shouldn't be believed either. No?

In any case, your assumption of Buddhism's demise because of such an action (even if true) are greatly exaggerated since the religion & its adherents survived & thrived for centuries after that, till Bakhtiyar Khilji came across the "wiped out" Buddhists nearly 1300 years after Pushyamitra Shunga had left the scene.

Pushyamitra or other tormentors of Buddhists were not the only reason for their diminishing in India but were definitely one of the reasons.

There you go....now reverse this...if you do not know whether it exists or not can you believe it??

 

[ranjeet]

i don't know about that precise number ( 10,000 ) but this is what i read just now...

from ( The facts or mindblowing facts of Nalanda University - Quora )...
Nalanda was ransacked and destroyed by an army under Bakhtiyar Khilji in 1193.Bakhtiyar khilji Destroyed the university thinking that it as Fort of the empire.

a mistake, obviously... and buddhism is closer to islam... i consider buddha a prophet.

Did these buddishts misbehaved with any girl? which mislead Khilji to attack the fort of empire?

If you do not have proof that something does not exist then how can you with possible believe it does not exist without blind faith. All you have the right to do is say you do not know if you claim to be honest. Anything else is belief and makes you a believer. You may not put your faith upon its existence and lead your life as if it's existence or lack of existence does not matter but you cannot go around claiming that it does not exist either.

There you go....now reverse this...if you do not know whether it exists or not can you believe it??

Nah, lack of belief does not work similar to faith and belief. That is why they assume on themselves the mantle of rationality. It requires proof. At the best you may consider the subject irrelevant since it does not affect your daily life, but you cannot claim for or against its existence with any certainty that you do.

Funny, how people with zero knowledge of physics deduce so much from a YouTube video.

 

[Nicky G]

You don't need to prefix it, we are Bharat.

As for Buddhism, as long as he does not wish to s become pacifists and self immolate rather than burn the enemy, I don't care.

 

[Samudra Manthan]

The person presenting the youtube video was much more qualified than you and in my opinion will always remain so. He deduces at the end of the video that the existence of 1 universe is a mathematical impossibility. Either it is 0 or a multiverse scenario. Multiverse being for all practical purposes irrelevant. So 0 universe it is.

 

[Kaniska]

Talking like a typical Pakistani,huh false-flag ?

You should be more concerned about the genocide of Syrian/Assyrian/Coptic christians by ISIS.

She/He is a Pakistani man...So do not got by the cute profile pic....

The world press has those covered. But Hindu fascism is being overlooked.

Because Hindu facist does not go outside India and blast themselves in public...So it is no ones interest what we do in our country..You seems to know much more about the caste system and the social genere of India than the ordinary Americans..Good to know about it...
