RE:Let us start another Freedom Struggle for Bharatbarsha
by Maximus Decimus Meridius on Apr 12, 2007 02:16 AM

First of all, it is BharataVarsha (Country of the descendents of Bharata, from Mahabharata) not barsha...
Two, I went to a missionary school, nobody made me read the bible. It was optional, and non-christians did not have to do it. If you have such a big problem with missionary schools, dont send your kids there... send them to DAV or some such school. X'ian missionary schools are not hard to identify.
#9: Yes, good point, if you want to prevent conversion. You cannot ban conversion though. People have a right to believe in any god or no god at all. Whether bribed into doing it or not is irrelavent.
#15: Nonsense. Hindus have to be confident in their religion. If hinduism is so weak that someone else can convince our people to convert, then the fault lies with hinduism, not with the coverters. How many religious organizations among hindus do charity work? Very, very few. Tirupati has so much money but do they pump it back into society? Hardly.

For better or for worse, islamic rule was a part of our history as was british rule. You sit here and type in English, a christian language. You talk about teaching sanskrit but write Bharatbarsha twice. You dont even know the name of your "hindu" rashtra, and yet claim to be representative of all things hindu. What about the dravidas? What about the people from the North-east and leh-laddakh? What about the tribals? Why should every one of these people be included in your all-hindu agenda?
India is a creation of the british empire. No single ruler has ever ruled the entire stretch of what is now India. As such, each state is different from the other, and some gods of the south are unrecognizable in the north and vice versa. You are like the Nazis. They destroyed europe - thanks to WW II, european empires and economies were destroyed, making USA #1. Someone else profited from all the hate... Nothing good can ever come out of what you ask for...
