This kind of childish name calling and use of epithets regardless of what you may or may not think about the person with whom you are having a debate, is not acceptable in this forum. As a moderator , I encourage debate based on information that you are willing to share, and to reason your conclusions based on facts. Opinions are interesting but not of value when you are having a debate on such matters.
Further you exhibit a very opinionated view of nationalists (which is your prerogative,but then you would have to define what you mean by a 'nationalist idiot'. Do you mean that nationalists are bad and nationalism is worse ? If so what about the nationalism of stalwarts like Gandhiji who was very proud to call himself a nationalist as was Jawaharlal Nehru. Or is it the case that nationlists are idiots only when they disagree with you ?
As for Sanskrit not having originated in India ,you offer no proof except that of an Argentinian , who with all his love for Sanskrit may know didly squat about the linguistic development of various languages in the Indian subcontinent. It does not matter where a language originated from, but if there is no extant representative of that language in Turkey or anywhere for that matter, such a theory makes very little sense to me. I have been to 4 continents but i have yet to find a person who can chant the vedas (much less an ancestral tradition of such chanting) with the fluency that any ordinary pandit can do with relative ease <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Sorry about the names I called.
Since all of you are not Gandhi, stop mentioning as a representative of the entire India. Every country has extraordinary people and crappy people. The Indian guys posting against my viewpoints are not the embodiment of Sanskrit culture, no doubt.
As for your doubt: The guy Nachiketa on this forum is a good example of "nationalist idiot". For example, he wrote this on this thread about an excellent site from Argentine:
"This website really needs to be (disgusting smily here... why is it available for people to use it?). Can we sue these b@st@rds for all the crap they are writing?"
Nazism and Facism are always present, even on this forum it seems. He has also insulted but he was smart enough to disguise his insult with @ Why did you not censor him too? Are you like him? In fact, he was insulting people who do not know anything about this thread and cannot defend themselves. That is not very heroic, isn't it?
Instead of wasting your time trying to punish me because I said "idiot" without any @ in between, attempt to remove "nationalist @" like Nachiketa from the forum you are the moderator. I am a foreigner and wanted to visit this forum to absorb the old wisdom from India, but I just found a bunch of nationalist @. If this forum is "exclusively" for Indian people, so you should specify that somewhere. Simply I just couldn't tolerate how a nationalist @ attacked a few guys from a distant country only because they were saying something different from what was in his mind.
Besides, I can add that I have not found any India's Sanskrit site like that of Argentina both in design and content. Well, you may get angry for this, but check the web and verify what I am saying by yourself. Instead of attacking people who opine differently in a civilized way (not as that nationalist @), you all should be creating high-quality websites dealing with your culture. That would prove to be more useful than attacking other people working so hard for the Sanskrit culture for free.
Now, goodbye. You will not see me anymore here.
