Cannot trust Pakistan to nuke it because their sacred Mughal ancestors were ruling these lands. Only hope is China to nuke UP and Bihar.

This SHIThole is supposed to be Hindu's holiest place.

No nukes. Radiation would kill the rest of us.

Let Bill Gates get rid of them in an eco friendly manner.

That is a very ignorant comment. Hinduism is sanatam dharma - meaning it is timeless and,unlike Islam, did not need the arrival of a prophet to be revealed to mankind. So, no city in Hinduism has a status comparable to Mecca is Islam. Varanasi is just one of the places of religious importance to Hindus. It is a 3000 year old city that was never designed for its present population, so it is obvious over- crowded and dirty. For a tourist it is best avoided unless you are traveling on a shoe string budget and are into hippie culture or Hindu rituals.

Ok so now Varanasi isn't that important anymore because it looks and smells like shit. Keep coping.

Man,there's a Greek travel program and they went to Varanasi. The host said he's been around the world but never found a place so dirty. I remember he said "You can't believe the stench. Human feces,urine and trash in the street" and he mentioned how they sometimes eat parts of the dead and how they burn the dead here and there.

Seems like they found what they went looking for. A successful trip, by all accounts.

There is no compulsion in religion, Thats what Allah says in QUran, but from time to time, Allah send messengers to the world to guide its creation to the right path. Unfortunately, Islam correct the path of millions upon millions of Hindus of the subcontinent, but you cannot say for the other religions like hinduism. Guidance is from God himself, there is nothing a man can do...
i can assure you, ask God to guide you to the right path or ask HIM to unravel his secrets, HE will bring you to Islam.

There are several other places that are equally or more important, depending on one's inclination, for instance - Ayodhya, Mathura, Dwarka, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Ujjain, Kedarnath, Badrinath , Gangotri, Yamunotri - and that is just in the states of UP and Uttarakhand. Other states have their own places of religious importance. There are many deeply religiously observant people in my family who have never been to Varanasi.

Hinduism has been the major religion in the subcontinent for thousands of years. From time to time, many Hindus converted to other religions other like Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism but the conversios were mostly voluntary and peaceful. Except for a few people in Kerala who converted to Islam after contact with Arab traders, conversion to Islam in the subcontinent has mostly been through conquest - either directly or through pressure or economic incentives like not having to pay the jizya tax under Muslim rulers. Most Muslims in the subcontinent today are the descendants of those who were converted because of submission to conquest or because of economic incentives.

Hindus were part of court system, law, militsry leaders, advisors of all muslims leaders of subcontinent, independently practicing their religion. people converted due to justice, non caste base system, based on merit, Islam was preached by muslim scholars, based on these principles and hence conversions.
lets clear your concept of jizya, protection money as it is called, is given in case armies need to called upon inface of existential threats..
