Geography does decide history. Russia is a great nation and will always be. And unlike the other pygmy hyenas of Europe (UK, France mainly), Russia has always been a gentle giant.
Who gave you the idea that Hindus are "confused" about Allah. There is no confusion as he does not exist on our radar at all. And as for one God or many, I am sure Hindu theology is way beyond your understanding.
Does IT really have such a great future? Some say that IT and Finance are both over rated and overmanned and demand may fall in future.
