Kaushal:
Thank you for the welcome, but we have, perhaps, met on BR. Anyway, I have strong views on the matter of a strong & assertive Indian theological ethos, views that perhaps do not belong on BR, and I hope I can voice them here. As an example of what India needs to counter is in [url="http://jang.com.pk/thenews/nov2003-weekly/nos-09-11-2003/foo.htm#1"]This Article[/url] . Clearly, Ayodhya predates Islam and mohammad, so bringing in its "muslim past" is not particularly relevant, and the reference to "brahminism" destroying buddist places of worship there is, ofcourse, without foundation. And this is written by a hindu/sikh (probably sikh, but definately punjabi).
