It is definitely worth a visit when visiting Sri Lanka. The Water Gardens are the first part of Sigirya visitors encounter as they enter through the west gate. Relatively well preserved, they have been compared to the water gardens of ancient Rome and the Middle East. Interspersed among the...

Sure buddy you keep on believing that broadcasting the azan on a loudspeaker has "medicinal properties"....

Superstition.

But why should non-Muslims have to listen to the Azan blared into their homes 5 times a day, 365 days a year?

Israel is "getting you" but where is the much vaunted Muslim Ummah? Secularism is sold to non-Muslim countries, while Muslim countries get to do what they want.

India did nothing when Buddhist monks were beaten by Hindus. So why are they up in arms now?

So why complain when others want to win.

I'm calling out Noora's rank hypocrisy. Religious freedom in the UAE is a bloody joke despite the fact that non-Muslims form a large portion of the resident population. .....And war and conquest have been part and parcel of Islam's history from the time of Prophet Muhammad. Will you condemn...

Does Noora think that it is the graciousness of the UAE that "allows" a "mandir" to be built? Not a basic human right for people to practice their faith? Will the UAE now allow Buddhist, Jain and Sikh places of worship to be freely built? Laughable how people throw a crumb out and then think...

I thought there was no "idol worship" in Christianity? Isn't that what Christian missionaries tell their new converts?

Sri Lanka's CBD is coming along nicely. Once high rises are built in the Port City, it will look stunning.

Ancient Indian epics mention Sinhala and Lanka which is testament to the antiquity of the Sinhalese. It's very hard for you to counter this. You weren't even aware of this. Initially denying now grudgingly accepting. Where does the Mahabharata mention the Marathis? Sinhala is the oldest...

The Mahabharata mentions the Sinhala, which is testament to the antiquity of the Sinhalese. Sinhalese is the oldest spoken Indo Aryan language in South Asia. It is older than Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Odiya, Punjabi. The capital of the Sinhalese - Anuradhapura - was established as far...

There is no "Bengali DNA" or "Gujarati DNA" either. The Sinhalese identity and language predates anything Bengali or Gujarati. There is no point of origin to the the DNA of Indians. The point of origin is thought to be Africa. The Sinhalese never immigrated from India as a people. Unlike the...

What's good is that Sri Lanka did not have to depend on any other country to evacuate its own citizens.

Your study is laughable. You might as well argue that Bengalis and Gujaratis have "Sinhalese DNA" If there is any truth to your study it would be that Bengalis and Gujaratis as well as the Sinhalese have some common ancestors. That's it. Antiquity wise in comparison to Sinhalese, Bengali and...
