Oops khap panchayat katju....The actual death toll is 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus. Katju claimed to have sympathy for the "thousands of Muslims" dead, yet he more than doubled the number of Muslim dead and conveniently ignored the Hindu dead altogether. Not once does he mention any "horrible...

If you trace back the journey Siddhartha took to become Buddha we can see how he visited the Hindu religious places in search of knowledge. (..not surprising since he was a hindu) Banaras (Varanasi) was then and even today one of the most renowned seats of religious learning in India.

Those 2 nominations for Anglo Indians are under Racial and Religious identity. Those other 12 nominations are for people who have served the nation during their distinguished career. How disingenuous of you to conveniently over look that. Now that you have established yourself as a apologist...

I want to correct this skewed view...Takṣasila (Taxila) one of the oldest universities in the world and India was a Hindu University. Kautilya (Chanakya of Arthashastra fame) a Brahmin was already a teacher in Taksasila university when he trained Chandragupta Maurya. Charka, father of...
