Why is everyone so keen on history? and are we learning any lessons from it? I am a born Hindu and tolerance was taught to me from early days. By talking abt cruel conversions from afghan, portugese or brit rulers will not change history. Hindus n their temples have been vandalized several times in history but talking about that now and inciting hatred will not change anything. Even hinduism has had a violent part (some Buddha temples have been destroyed. Kedarnath n Badrinath have been buddhist temples before they were destroyed n hindu temples built) We should learn from history and live peacefully respecting each other's cultures. I am against religious conversions especially if poverty sticken pple are given food n money to convert. lets not use this forum to abuse any religion or faith.
