Sampath, My personal views in these issues are besides the point. It doesn't pertain to this discussion. But since you ask, I really don't care whether anyone builds a temple or mosque in Ayodhya - to me, spirituality is not about going t…

Sampath, If your solution for centuries old barbarism is current-day barbarism, I really do not think that I have anything more to say to you. Some wise man once said that "those who forget their history (past) are condemned to repeat it"…

Ofcourse we most definitely need organizations which among other things destroy mosques and burn people on the streets. Otherwise how will Hinduism ever survive?

let us find truth behind this
Its a well-known fact that the national anthem was written and performed on the occasion of the King's visit to India. It was first performed in 1911. However Tagore was apparently extremely resentful of the fact that he had to write something …

Big bang and Time
Sampath, Very circular this is getting to be :) Just as Hawking doesn't speculate what happened before the Big Bang(I know a couple of quantum physicists who explained to me once abt how the Big Bang does NOT need a cause but lets not get int…

Big bang and Time
Sampath, I am no expert in Vedic philosophy, so I will refrain from talking abt that. But a couple of thoughts on the other stuff: 1. I believe you are talking abt what Hawking called the concept of singularity. He refers to a total information lo…

Arun, I agree with you that history textbooks(state or central) need to take into consideration the whole country. But lets please give individuals some credit - every history book in this country talks abt Krishnadevaraya and if your friend did no…

Arun, Thanks for your clarification. I have not come across any of Thapar's Muslim rule articles to comment on them, so I will refrain from that. But as I said she's def not into the Invasion theory. I see your point, but from when did w…

Arun, Just curious: Have you read any of Thapar's books that substantiates that she holds on to the outdated Aryan Invasion Theory? If so, could you point me to them? Since my schooling wasn't in the NCERT/CBSE boards, I have not come acr…

Arun, I am all for Uniform Civil Code too - it makes absolute sense to me. There are def number of things wrong with religion(AND the way its practised) and regardless of the religion, its out duty to push for reform wherever necessary.(All over th…

all can enter temples?No way.
Priya, As I said I do not intend to talk abt religion as it will be belaboring the same points, but since you questioned the premise, here are a couple of clarifications. 1. There has definitely been religious literature, but saying that without r…

all can enter temples?No way.
Priya, Let me say at the outset that I really have no wish to talk abt religion here as 1. This is a literary forum and its not appropriate to talk about it 2. I am not known for being very tolerant of religious conservatism So I will do this last …

Priya, Who exactly said beef-eaters cannot enter temples? The essence of Hinduism lies in its openness and statements like yours only show the world how irrational and narrow-minded its followers can be. I eat beef and I don't believe in the …
