My dear Ashwamedha DID in fact mean the SCARIFICE of the horse. Don't be like applogatic 'hindus' and try to distort history. What ever happened in the past happened in the past. We should just accept it and move on rather than trying to cover it.
And Zakir naik is not 'mine'. I am what u call 'hindu' but i have given up that name cos it was given to us by the invaders and it was a derogatory term. But shame on us that we have stuck to it. Common liberate yourself and say that " Garv se kaho hum Hindu nahi hain". Say loudly we r not 'hindu'. This is another point which i wanted to discuss. I can tell u that 'hindu' is nowhere mentioned in our texts and it is a foreign word to us. If u disagree we can have another debate...
