Why is the writercomparing the incident to 9/11? The reasons/causes of both the incidents are of such different scenarios.
5/11 1857,the cause was to remove miscreants and tyrant foreigners from OUR COUNTRY.
And the mishap done on 9/11 was a terrorist activity. Bcoz it was done on foreign land and was a act of cowardice and tyranny.
Please dont mix two different things. The writer is suposedly unpatriotic, as it writes about the advent of Taliban in our country.....seemingly trying to convince the world that terrorism started in INDIA.
What does this article support..fundamentalism of ruining the countries pride..spoiling our image internationally.

Dear Firefly,
The authour is trying to explain things from the point of view that "terrorist are made and not born".
The british had called the Indian freedon fighters as mutinors. The Indian freedom fighters on 5/11 did not kill only british soilders but also british women and children (even infants were not spared). Further they also killed indians who had converted to christianity. I am sure in british at that time 1857 would have seen it same as 9/11 were most killed (all) were civilians and not soldiers.
I am sure if our freedom fighters have had the facilities of taliban of this day would have done the same. Sorry to refer our freedom fighters with taliban. (Infact I am ashamed to do so). But the point to be noted is there is a reason for all acts of violence and the author tries to make the US to stop the war against taliban in its current form and try to find a more peacefull solution by dropping its imperialist (capitalist) behaviour.
I have read the book and I assure you the contents of the book is not unpatriotic. I also have a suggestion to you "please read the entire presentation - you will also accept the same"

Read the article completely before replying fanatically over a sentence. I wonder sometimes, how can people so ridiculous at times. It's just his viewpoint, as he sees similarity between the two. If you cannot, you have no reason to call the author stupid.
Learn to respect the viewpoint of others dude, else a day will come when no-one will respect you views/viewpoints.

You are absolutely right! People write whatever they want not understanding other peoples feelings. Just bcos in the net u can write whatever u want, ppl have startedwriting real rubbish. The book is abt the countrys pride and not against it. Any civilisation will have its own mistakes and good things. But greatness comes when it is accepted in the right spirit. People like firefly think that they are the greatest patriots whereas they are exactly the opposite.

Hello,
Its good to write 100 good things. But even one wrong sentence can ruin a peaceful image that india has maintained for several years. I have read the complete thing and answered.
All the other things are good accept the agreement of 1857 and 9/11 to be same...and i hope no one will agree on this.
9/11 is a act of cowardice, which everyone knows that majorly asians died in it.
Its a good article, ive read it. The intention is good to unite Hindus and Muslims.
But dont u think a statement like the "the americans should know that Talibanic views started in North India is bad even for all Muslims in India?"
Again im saying, even a single wrongly framed sentence can ruin a age good image.
And if the writer considers himself as responsible, he should be pin-point careful.
Im always in the favour of sarva dharma priya nation.
