Can we leave it at that should we accept that Narayanan was better because Paulose here says so (without providing any info to back it up)Because all the presidents of India did have a second term, unless they opted out. Abdul Kalam is a good man. But as an administrator Narayanan was time tested and he was non controversdial as well. Do not count my opinion. My opinion is personal.
Quote:Seems like you are talking from both sides of your mouth, didn't you just state that BJP denied Narayanan second term?I have not come across a human who can talk from one side of his mouth. BJP denied second term for Narayanan, is true. I did not say that it because BJP is non secular. Do not imagine so wildly.
Quote:Why? Every Christina country be it US, UK, France, Germany has yet to appoint or elect a single minority to it's highest office and still around to offer gratutious unsolicited advise on how India should behave around?Whom to appoint to the highest office is an internal affair of that country. Just because we elect minorities, we can not insist that all countries should do that.
I do not know what advise these countries give to India regarding appointment to highest offices.
Quote:Parsees and Hindus have not colonized anyone have they? Or your position is that colonization is just an European trait?
Whether Hindus colonised was not the point. But if the Europeans wher Hindus , they could have beaved the same way.
Do Hindu and Parsee religions prohibit colonisation?
The south Indian kingdoms of Chola and Pandya had colonies in Sreelaka, Singapore and Malaysia.
Quote:So, there were wars when there were no other religions around right? So Hindus didn't impose religious wars stating my God's is bigger than yours. All started after Christianity and Islam appeared. Here I have to agree with you.So according to you world wars, umpteen number of wars between USSR and USA including Vietnam war, Koeran war etc are religios wars? Do you think India China war of 1962 was a religious war?. Many Christian countries did many wars among them selves. ON what religious issues they fought? What was the religious issue when Christian Germany and Italy together with Shinto Japan attacked all Christian countries? What was the religious issue when Germany, Italy and Islamic Turkey joined together to attack Christian countries?

True. But whenever convenient, you'll not loose a moment to use religion to deride someone elses religion or use your own to steal land/property for others. For example: crusades in Middle East and Europe, colonization of Latin America, Asia and Africa 16th century onwards. These days it's war by other means - covert missionary activities coupled with "human rights" organizations.
And this is not the story of all religions. Christians or those who use Christanity take the cake here.

I never used any religuion to go for war. I am a pacifist and I do not think that wars will solve any problem.
Before Christianity also there were many wars. Ancient Indian history speaks volumes about many wars. Hindu scriptures itself says about many wars killing millions. The what is the basis of your allegations? If Hindus never fought any war in their history, I could have understood your claim and allegations.
