@Joe Shearer On a related note what is your opinion on : India-Pakistan 1) cultural & people to people exchanges 2) Cricket I think that the first should be encouraged & allowed but in the second, I'm inclined to go with Ramachandra Guha's argument that India-Pak cricket only creates more bad...

:lol::lol: Right as usual. Done here.

You are welcome to read up on the matter, I'm not giving you just a personal opinion. I never said that the area did not include the land that is now part of Pakistan but the Rg vedic river most mentioned is the Sarasvati. The fact that over half the books are related to the Bharatas is the...

The first official confirmation of this proposal. If he is anticipating it to be "coordinated" (whatever that means) by next month, talks must already be at an advanced stage.

Contact Resident Commissioners Before Entering State Bhavans: Delhi Police’s Circular To Cops Press Trust Of India | New Delhi Under attack for “breach of protocol” in connection with the Kerala House episode, Delhi Police has issued a circular asking officials to contact the Resident...

Only works if your argument is that the Mahabharata dates to the Mauryan times. Most people would disagree.

:oops: You are right, it is Ravi, I intended to mention Vipas(Beas) (Vishwamitra mentions the westward movement of the Bharatas over the Sutudri &Vipas )in a longer argument which I then cut down and kept the wrong name. Thanks. Corrected.

Unlikely. I'm not aware of any mention. Neither Mandalas 3(Vishwamitras) or 7(Vashistas) which are the two that are connected to King Sudas mention the Sindhu.

As with the rest of the OP, big exaggeration. The Rg Veda does mentions areas of Pakistan but the heart of it is still situated in Haryana+Eastern UP belt.

...and you believe that the Home Minister would have made this comment without the PM's approval?:lol: New Delhi: After the official guest house of Kerala House was swarmed with policemen after a call from activists of the Hindu Sena group on Monday, the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) pulled...

That battle was fought on the banks of the Parusni (Ravi).

Wasn't referring to you, used your post to make that point.

The Rg veda is primarily a book of the Bharatas, descendant of the pre-Rg vedic king Bharata. It is they who give this land the name. Standard rubbish by people who know nothing about the Rg veda and still want to comment on it. The Rg veda was composed primarily in the area of modern day...

Perceptions matter: It’s no coincidence that the narrative of rising intolerance has been peaking around elections October 28, 2015, Baijayant 'Jay' Panda It has been some months now since news reports of attacks on churches in India disappeared from the headlines. And thank goodness for that...

No justice is possible but retribution was extracted.That can unfortunately be the only saving grace in matters like this.

True but the alternative will be the victory of the "equal distribution of poverty" brigade. Better to have some states set standards and hope that pressure will build up on other states to follow. If they don't, tough. Atleast the country won't hurt in full measure (some pain is guaranteed) for...

Not incorrect but the idea was to get the BJP governments to follow an uniform state law & build up pressure on other state governments, none of whom privately like the present law. Investors invest in a state & I disagree that they would care what the laws in other states are. World over, many...

Some but the government should have gone the whole hog using that route instead of throwing away political capital on the land bill etc. That, even you have to agree, has been an unmitigated disaster & shows very poor planning. Jaitley has goofed up in his handling of many issues creating...
