Quran, Bible not central to soul of India, says culture minister Mahesh Sharma

[Maira La]

It is unbelievable how this fake country called "India" is laying claim to be the inheritor of the local ancient civilization.

By stealing the name "India" from "British India", they "think" they can fool the world by telling it that they are original people from the region. Not even close!

It is like some day Zimbabwe adopts the name Peru and starts laying claim on Inca Civilization.

The ancient civilization started in the Indus Valley (current day Pakistan) and not in the fake country "India".

It's like USA claiming the history of entire Americas (Canada, Mexico, Central, South including Brazil, Argentina) because they happen to have "America" in their name!

Exactly.

This is so funny watching these delusional Indians (mostly fundamentalist hindus) coming here and "enlightening" us with their pearls of wisdom.

Claiming to be the inheritors of this region's civilization ...

"Quran, Bible not central to soul of India"


Indian Rambo forgot to mention "Torah", oh wait that would mean annoying Jewish people and getting a big fat kick on the rear side.

The false bravado of these mouth warriors is only good for oppressing helpless minorities,

The soul of India are its people: Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs or Christians...not Gita, Bible or Quran.

So some Pakistanis start crying all over again. Oh the eternal butt hurt they will keep suffering.

Meat consumption should be banned in India. Muslims should be killed in India for Bakhra Eid. Internet should also be banned for showing animals being killed and sharing meat based recipes as well. We need to protect the sensitivities of our hindu brethren.

The more you resist it, the more you will talk about it. One day you will love it. It is just matter of time.

Well here in USA, Canada is sort of considered as the 51st State !!!

You forgot to type: "Thank you Jinnah".

India is a huge country with resources to lend it a very respectable position in the comity of nations.It has a rich and diverse history which should logically have given India a character of different hues and colors making it a truly cosmopolitan place.Just compare how the US with a medley of different races , religions and cultures has proved itself a promised land,without any discrimination.India could be as enchanting, if only it grew out of its petty mind set and acted with magnanimity behooving its status.If some of your politicians out of misplaced sense of glory churn out irresponsible and meaningless concept and doctrines ,you would develop an image of intolerance, bigotry and ignominy.By creating fuss on non issues like the soul of India etc you are back sliding on a trajectory that promises a good future for India.You give up on your antipathy towards Islam and Pakistan ,you will discover your potential.Perhaps your religious books if read carefully would make the Indians better informed that the basic teachings of all religions are same,so you should allow all Indians
to drink from any fountain- with out any form of coercion.I am convinced of the fact that, the present government will land up India in deep trouble if it does not jettison itself of the baggage of history and desist from Islam and pak bashing.

Slowly but surely pushing india towards inevitable partition

Nope. Not happening. The last partition happened because there were two regions of higher Muslim concentration such as present day Pakistan and Bangladesh. But currently the Muslim population is disepersed all over and are no where dominant (except maybe Kashmir valley, which has been taken care of btw). So, at the worst there will be a civil war if things come to that and it will not bode well for the people in lesser number and with lesser influence. So, do not even wish for something like that.

India is champion at linking things with Hinduism which have no link. Like Budhism and Jainism...

 

[Dem!god]

True words.. islam and Christianity is not Indian religion and quran and bible can never be central to indian core principles...

India is champion at linking things with Hinduism which have no link. Like Budhism and Jainism...

Why a pakistani muslim is so concerned about what india do with Hindus and Hinduism...

 

[Parashu]

No. The Indus Valley people have nothing in common with the South Indians. Nor do we have anything in common with the North East Indians. Basically most of modern India is foreign to the IVC.

So now an Indian is gonna tell a descendant of the IVC that he has no respect of the past? Are you a joke fool? Your Dravidian people have nothing in common with us. Period. Don't get all mad because of this.

IVC was inhabited by the Indic people. Then the Aryan people came in. Hence Indo-Aryan.

Do not lecture me about MY past. What was South India during the time of the IVC? A bunch of jungle. That's what I thought.

but aap to ek up/bihari muhajir ho

unlike you guys Original Pakistanis and us north west Indians are true hairs of IVC

 

[HariPrasad]

What he says is correct. Neither Kuran nor bible is soul of India. India is a civilization exist thousands of years before Bible or Kuran. Both religious books are non Indian. They have nothing to do with India except some of the followers of these religions lives in India.

Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Culture and Tourism, BJP leader Mahesh Sharma in an explosive interview to India Today Television's Rahul Kanwal made a controversial statement that Quran and Bible are not central to the soul of India. Sharma went on to add that Hindu epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata and Gita should be made compulsory in schools.


Quran and Bible not central to soul of India, says cultural minister Mahesh Sharma : India, News - India Today

what an Idiot, Gita is part of the MB , both MB and Ramayana advocate violence and killing of those who don't follow the the so called "Hindu dharma' i.e Ravan in Ramayana and the Kauravas in MB. In present context, Hindutvas will advocate violence to be unleashed upon minorities namely Muslims, Dravidian Tamils and Dalits , as Hindutva perceive these groups not adhering to its version of Hinduism -
