Being an Indian Forum our main principle should further the psy war for India and seek to educate Indians. Unfortunetly a lot of Indian history or politics are brushed under the table for fear of arousing sentiments especailly when it comes to reading on ancient Indic civilisation and its influence, as well as Hinduism.
Our Culture and religion defines who we are and exposing many of the myths and finding the truth to what happened in our past can only make us a more confident and assertive nation ready to protect the lives and interests of all Indians alike. Issues like Ayodhya and its history should be discussed and debated and not buried in the sands like the Mandir.
Recently ive read a couple of articles relating to the Hindu Kush and the slaughter of Hindus that took place there. Why isn't this more common knowledge? Why should we constantly fear what the truth might reveal. Why isn't there more discussion on the wonders and tolerance of Hinduism in ancient India. From Afghanistan to Central Asia, Indonesia and beyond the Indic Civilisation and ethos spread only to be forgotten in our own school textbooks! We're lucky this forum has two scholars in Kaushal and Hauma and im sure in time it'll have many threads discussing the above.
Lets do what is right for Indians as a whole! and stop worrying about what others might think and if we might 'sideline' our minorties!
Satyameva Jayete!
Saying that perhaps the history thread can include separate threads to discuss instead of collating all into one. Makes it easier to save and archive important threads as well.
Some threads :
ie Indic influence/Hinduism Central Asia
Indic influence/Hinduism South east Asia Angkor Wat
Sindhu civilisation, Indian culture under threat in Pakistan Mohenjendaro/Harrapa
Ayodhya Next step.
Should Indians/India seek to work to protect Hindus worldwide?
I myself paln to do some reading and start the thread on Angkor wat over the weekend.
A lot of us have been at BR, and so we may be forward in the game...but the message shouldn't be for us and must get out to as many people as we can. Outright banning of members who seek to disrupt should be implemented...talking about some paki/Chinese folk...to do this i think the forum should advertise on google. Let the word spread!
Jai Hind!
