RE:Hindu-Muslim unity?
by Natesh on Nov 06, 2007 04:48 PM

With due respects I disagree with you A K Singh. There has been some muslim rulers in India who have been very tolerant to Hindus and other religions. Golconda rulers in Hyd had hindu ministers and there is hindu temple inside the fort. Akbar was very tolerant during his tenure too but i agree majority of the muslim invaders murdered many hindus and buddhists. Many hindu & Buddhist temples were either destroyed or burnt. There is credible evidence to support the claim. But can we re-write history by preaching hatred towards muslims now? can we destroy mosques and create communal riots in the name of religion? can we throw 12% of India's population into the ocean or deport them. What is required is to educate and help them raise the economic ladder. They should move towards moderate and liberal islam practised in Malaysia, Kuwait and Turkey. I totally disagree this idea of Hindus and Muslims should always hate and kill each other. Our religion Hinduism has been extremely tolerant and respectful to other faiths. Hinduism also respects atheism as part of belief. No other religion is as flexible and tolerant. Hinduism questions blind faith and encourages people to ask questions and seek clarifications. We shouldnt confuse hindu mythology with Hinduism and its teachings. We also have some misgivings in the religion or culture like sati, casteism etc.. (mind you other religions have castes and untouchability too) For India's prespective we should convince them on family planning
