First of all I am from south India livin in US,i know my exact caste three generations ago unlike many muslims here..
One important point - when you quote references understand basic etiquties-You should quote from non religious affiliated sites. The fact that you guys hate historians like Ramachandra Guha,Thappar is a proof that you can write and refer only your own imagintions in hate websites and refer them back again

William Darlymple is a living historian and a award winning author unlike Naipaul who is a story teller and who got prize for his ability to tell stories.William darlymple has commented about naipaul here
...Yet The Mughal Emperors remains a vital corrective to the influential but partial and wrong-headed readings of the flag bearers of intellectual Islamophobia such as Naipaul, Lewis and Huntingdon, all of whom continue to manufacture entirely negative images of one of the greatest and most varied civilisations in world history...

Its a good documentry movie based on the life of a 11 year old white girl and her interaction with Islam. Its a part of BBCs white season documentries. Its loosely based on real life story about a 11 year old white girl who learns and embraces Islam. And the producers are not muslims :-)

I dont have any shame in my hindu past. For me religion is not about proclaiming greatness over others. For me religion is a way to live a life and thats it. I am as proud of my hindu ancestors as any other hindu. I dont have any shame in calling myself a hindu in the geograhical context.

I was always a hindu in geograhical terms. I follow the message of God (Islam) in spritual terms. I have all the respect for my hindu countrymen. I can never abuse a hindu because I am myself a hindu.
