So the Dalits didnt exist before Islam came to the sub-continent? What about the whole untouchables in the society who were socially discriminated and ostracized?
Thats exactly why many people turned to Islam.
These idiots have no idea about the caste system. They have no idea that initially caste system was put into place for purposes of governance and classifying the population. They have no idea that this system later became rigid and caste became a birth right!
I am pretty sure the first Muslim...
You really are an 'interesting' person! Aren't you my asinine friend?
Yes, I am the low caste village idiot and look upon thee, oh learned loony one, for much needed amusement!
I thought we were talking about the period before Islam came to India. Since you blame Islam for making Dalits the...
No, my harebrained friend. Where are your sources? Please to be posting them. Please enlighten us with your wisdom gleamed from irrefutable sources. Where are they?
Who ever said that faith is rational, people were/are rational!? Take your own esteemed self for example!
I can only begin to understand your confusion and frustration. I have handled such before when I used to teach chemistry to degree students!
Anywho, instead of posting idiotic snide...
Dimwit, read up on the sources I posted.
Now where are your sources for gurukuls being open to everyone? And show us how changes took place over a period of time.
These are the types of fundus you should steer clear of. They have no idea of their own beliefs, have no idea of their own history...
Hey dimwit, you should learn to use google. But since you find it so difficult to do a little research, let me walk you through this one: For starters:
Kerala[edit]
Christians in Kerala are divided into several communities, including Syrian Christians and Latin Christians. Syrian Christians in...
You know nothing, Jon Snow!
Dont you suppose a thousand years would bring about profound changes in a society? ANd if you are asking me about differences between a Sanskrit scholar and poet-saint-philosophers, then you are the wrong person to discuss such an issue.
What desert stories are you referring to?
Btw, I said 'fear of wrath of the Gods' not fear of Gods. See the difference? Btw, I never denied existence of 'saints' from all castes and walks of life then. So what was your question here?
There were so many outrageous social practices back then, and...
Actually yes. The same way you - a relic of past practices - wants it to be. If only you knew.
Poor, ignorant, uneducated people were more afraid of the 'wrath of the Gods' than money or words - neither of which they had any.
Lol. You are a tin-foil hat wearing little man, arent ya?!
You made a claim of gurukuls being open to all members of the society. Please show us your source.
Irrelevant point. You make no sense whatsoever stating this.
Again goes on to prove that you know little about the society then. FYI, many of the conversations were not under the shadow of the...
And they used that knowledge to control rest of the population.
Full Bull Shyte!
You really should take your nose out of some fantasy comic books you have been readong. Please to be reading some good informative texts. You dont even know what you are talking about.
Namboodris became powerful in...
Are those rhetorical questions? Or are you really such a simpleton?
Bull shyte! Gurukuls only accepted Brahmins. Even the warrior class was given limited knowledge and the higher caste of Priests &/or 'learned' men zealously guarded the dissemination of whatever knowledge was there - basically...
Really? Shudras - the laborers and other assorted workers would have the brains or the knowledge, then, to defy the will of the priest (Brahmins) class? And on what basis would they challenge the Brahmins/Priest class?
You do realize that knowledge during those times was the sole prerogative of...
People. They make a nation a superpower. Its their outlook which matters the most.
You talk as if the taliban were any better than what they replaced or what replaced them. The fact is the people of Afghanistan have no idea what to do with themselves. All this shytty religious fundamentalism...
I see Tom Clancy has been a tremendous inspiration!!
You need to be more specific, aka the rate of fire of those 'gattling' guns, the rpm of those rotors, the entire weapons loadout for specific ops for those helos, etc.....You also forgot to mention the race of your helo pilots, the caste of...
But why only the US? Why arent the Muslim countries in the middle east leading or even contributing to what is now essentially an existential fight against extremism? It should be THEIR responsibility, no? Those stupid people have numerous issues between themselves and the only language they...
And yet, they remained virgins even after!!
No wonder you seem to be so fascinated by 'chillies', are you trying to tell us something 'bout yourself?
Why after 22 years of service? Apparently he was pis$ed off when a junior officer was sent to Sudan in his place, and again pis$ed off when he...
