Why I said history is never in black and white. What you see depends on where u sit. It’s why different people interpret differently the same piece of history. Since this is intra our nation, we have varying interpretation available to us. @ashdoc has a thread on the 3rd battle of Panipat where...

Where the idol They are available and its authenticity is accepted since the Sringeri Sharada Peetham has its own records of the correspondence with 29 letters in Kannada from Tipu Sultan to the Shankaracharya Sri Sacchidananda Bharati III. Post the sacking and looting of Sringeri where the...

:biggrin2: So Shankaracharya wrote to Tipu so that “Muslims” wouldn’t attack Sringeri? After the Marathas soldiers had sacked Sringeri? Where he asked for hTipu’s help? Now that’s some creative stuff..:biggrin2: even you are forced to admit that sacking of Sringeri took place, just that...

What I said was in context of their known acts against hindu religious institutions elsewhere . My point was that history is not as black and white as we may want it to be. Also that as Hindus, they would have been favorably inclined to Hindu interest but that inclination had a limit. (Funnily...

Many here get caught up trying to attach a hindu pride label on the Marathas. True Marathas were hindus but they were not primarily focused on Hinduism as a basic pillar, only the extension of their power, hence the raids on hindu religious places outside of their kingdom. I would think that...

Double post.......................

The shankaracharya of Sringeri disagreed. His correspondence with Tipu Sultan exists. As I said. history isn't necessarily how u would like it to be. Excuses are just that. I made a point of history, you can believe whatever you want. I'm not trying to convert anyone here. I havent whitewashed...

That’s what happens when you try and whitewash history. They also looted Tirupati temple. More excuses? History isn’t black and white. Period. Best to understand that. The Marthas lived in a different time. Seeing them or any other from an earlier time using present day moralities is silly.

History is always messed up. For all the”Hindu pride”, the Marathas raided and looted Sringeri, the first and the oldest seat of the Shankaracharyas established by Adi Shankara. The Shankaracharya then sought and received help from Tipu Sultan. Crazy world that. Looking for black and white...

No disagreement to the above but the argument you made the point to was referring to caste system and the hereditary form of it.

That sounds like a thumbs up to the hereditary version of caste, most who aren’t upper caste don’t much care for that explanation. No matter who argues that Brahma himself decided that..mighty convenient for the chosen ones. True that many countries had a class system but there is always a...

Does that mean any inter caste marriage is equivalent to marrying off to a drug smuggler? One can marry within the same class without marrying into the same caste, don’t you agree?

Something that most Indians forget when the occasional one gets through. Our intelligence agencies are doing one hell of a job and we must be thankful to them.

It's one thing to be anti communist or even anti "sickukar", its another thing to either celebrate or be indifferent to deaths of our citizens because you assume something of their political inclinations. Do you think that it's fair when these poor labourers were killed in kashmir? For being...

This forum is pretty dehumanizing. Pretend to care about India but no care for a quarter of Indians. Nationalism my a$$.

Actually, why on earth should the GoI be interested in enabling emmigration. Even in our trade negotiations, we spend ridiculous amounts of capital on this. We need at best, only short term visas for our professionals, not pathways to emigrate. The fact is almost all our bureaucrats and MEA...

One should never confuse masturbatory fantasies with the real thing.:biggrin2: The above is no different from fantasies by Muslim nutcases.

I dont agree with the government allowing the EU MP's inside. It opens s pandora's box and we are faced with a headache if Anericans ask for the same tomorrow. Also looks pretty pathetic when we have been stopping our own MP's from going.

I don’t think it’s made in Haryana. They use barley from Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan and mix it with imported plated barley from Scotland but I think it’s made near Bangalore. Amrut distilleries is a Bangalore based company.

Partly because all Pakistani Americans are also Pakistanis with citizenship. Almost all of them are dual citizens.
