Muslim girl in Mumbai wins Gita contest- Incredible India!!

Richard Dawkins being described as a christian..... I'm sure the church would be thrilled to know that.

Btw, I recommended that book in the context of what @levina & I were discussing. Does not suggest that it is the only book I have ever read. (btw, did I not beat you up on the Vishwamitra's grand nephew bit..... Where you not searching for "Rama"....wondering whether I was talking about your nephew....)

As for moral compass & its mooring; I will find my own, thank you very much.

Richard Dawkins was born into a Christian family, grew up in a christian household and has described himself his childhood as "a normal Anglican upbringing". He was a Christian until halfway through his formative teenage years.

His rejection is "religion" is just his rejection of "Christianity" ....... and finding the next most acceptable and widely available choice.

You can worry or get excited about the Church and what they feel about Richard Dawkins. Spare me the drama.

I have beaten your fair and square EVERY TIME we ever had a debate. .......... Are you under the illusion that you beat me ? EVER ? (I was mocking your reference to Rama by talking about my nephew, funny how you did not get that)

As for your moral mooring, you have no choice but to find your own. Did you think there was any other choice ?

knowledge is good as it brings enlightenment to oneself. Good job kid.

Ya, like saying Malik Kafur was Hindu.....

"The ......... Delusion"...( Fill in whatever moniker you have at that particular piece of time....)

Malik Kafur was captured as a kid, CASTRATED and converted to Islam. I do not think he had much of a choice unlike you Author

"The ......... Delusion"...( Fill in whatever moniker you have at that particular piece of time....)

Yet you are the one who seems to be bringing it up ALL the time ......... why is that ?

Roughly the same choice parents give their children on religion.

Yet you are the one who seems to be bringing it up ALL the time ......... why is that ?

Relevant to the point. You seemed to suggest I knew nothing about Hinduism & probably hadn't read anything on the subject. Reminded you of the time when you had to wonder about your nephew in the U.S..........


Btw, always fun debating with you.....

Not Hindu parents. Which is why Beef is still debated in India. Because Hindu encourages people to think, not follow "word of god". Hindus are required to make informed choices. Only most do not seem to want the information, they are satisfied with propaganda.

You can always learn more. There is plenty to be learnt.

Muslim girl in Mumbai won the Gita contest- Incredible India!!

The Muslim girl has won the first position among over 3,000 participants at the 'Gita Champions League' contest, organized by International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) in January

************NO TROLLING PLS*********************
.MUMBAI: Twelve-year-old Maryam Siddiqui is a rank holder at the exams in school. But recently, the class VI student has aced a written competition based on the Bhagwad Gita. The Muslim girl has won the first position among over 3,000 participants at the 'Gita Champions League' contest, organized by International Society for Krishna Consciousness (Iskcon) in January.

The 100 mark multiple choice question based test, evaluates children on their knowledge of the Gita. "I have always been inquisitive about religions and I often read up on them during my free time. So when my teacher told me about this contest I thought it would be a good chance to understand what the book is about. My parents too supported my idea of participating in the contest," said Maryam, who received the prize on March 15.

A student of Cosmopolitan High School, Mira Road, Maryam studied material that was provided by Iskcon for almost a month before giving the test in English. "I read through the material and tried to understand what the Gita tries to tell us. The more I read about different religions, the more I have realized that humanity is the most important religion that we must follow," she said.

Maryam has always had conversations about religion with her parents. "Our family believes that one needs to respect and accept all religions. No religion preaches hatred or wrong. However, there are some members who have misguided us. Before these have a bad influence on the children, we need to talk to them and make them understand what is right," said her father, Asif Siddiqui.

Teachers at school are proud of Maryam's achievement. "The contest is open to students from all religions so we asked if anyone from school wanted to participate. Maryam is excellent at school exams and she showed the same excellence at this contest too," said her teacher, Sapna Brahmandkar.

evil yindoos... Gharvapsi Iskcon style!

I guess hate them because they made hinduism a proselytising religion.. look at sikhs.. anybody can be sikh but they dont do a song and dance here.. just go to their temple if you like their philosophy/hair style/whatever you can become sikh.
More importantly their restaurant(temple?) is bloody expensive for the type of food they serve.
