WHat you said about the muslims are right. Everything else is wrong.
1. British spoiled our country by converting people. 2. They stole our wealth and used us as cheap labor. 3. Their education was entirely to make clerks who can help their imperial regime. It was the greatness of our people who fought with them to establish Universities. In British time Indian Universities had world class scientists who are Indian (S.N. Bose, J.C. Bose, M. Saha, C.V. Raman ....).
4. As ruler it is true British were better than muslim rulers. But they were beter manipulator too.
5. They divided our country and gave the country to the hand of their slave (Nehru).
6. THey spolied our history by wrongly dating different historical evidences.
7. THey tried to spoil our philosophical supremacy over them by establishing Arian Invasion theory and wrongly dating Harappa and Mahenjodaro.
8. British were the best imperialists but at last we kicked them out. Now still we have their representatives. Once we can kick Italian ministry out, our country will survive.

Not required its a failed gospel, in Europe and USA and only practised in 3rd world countries, where they give choco bars for conversion.

the english didnt convert many people or demolish temples...only 2% christians, the mooghals forcibly converted almost 50% of the population of the indian-subcontinent (pakistan, india, bangladesh).

If something is forced, it won't last long. If Christianity was forced in India..It should've faded away with in a few years after independence. But that's not the case. If there was something good about British rule..that would be the Gospel..
I'm a Gospel fan.. So all criticisms are welcome!!

You are entitled to be a fan of anyone or anything but don't expect others to see it that way. It was precisely your reasoning that the Christians in pre-Independence India gave to support the British. And today, they are enjoying equal status with the Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs who shed their blood for independence. Obvioiusly, from your comments, you have no regrets about the past and will do the same thing again if necessary. Shame on you!

Do you know how christianity is surviivng in INDIA. Travel to tribal places and rural places and you will find out. It is because of
1. All the dollar donations to these missionaries 2. Hospitals run by these missionaries 3. Money & gifts to poor people
Once you stop all the dollar funding to these missionaries then you will see how many of them will convert...and how many would be there still talking about bible or jesus or doing conversions...
Hinduism even after valiant attacks from Mughal rulars and British raj it is still surviving and is still a majority. It does not teach false dogmas, it just harps on BHAKTI rather than the way you express your love to god. But in Christianity and Islam you are forced to follow certain rules and policies if you donot then you are treated as Son of satan or Kaafir.
If Inida was some other religion follower as in west or east or if Hinduism beliefs were weak, by this time India could have been totally coverted to christianity or Islam as it has happenned world over.
And now some converts have started finding faults in worlds oldest and greatest relion which has given birth to many other religions such as Bhudism, Jainism, Sikhism etc..
How Shameful.
I am confident that Hinduism will survive this also.

This is the trouble with non-hindu's. They will always be faithful more to their religion and not to the motherland India. That is why i can see some people trying to defend britishers and some trying to defend the moughals.... It speaks for itself. And i know that one of these guys will try to report this message as abusive but then the moderator should try and decide based on the language and content of this message. And not only because someone will report it for abuse. I want all of these elements to read this. Nothing offensive here.
