Saudi Arabia includes Ramayana, Mahabharata and other nations’ literature in its curriculum

[Buddhistforlife]

Saudis are becoming more and more liberal good

Nothing to do with liberalism. In the past many prominent Muslims like Ibn Battuta, Aamir Khasrau and others translated Mahabharata and Ramayana into Persian.

Mughal emperors translated numerous Hindu texts into Arabic and Persian.

Only half baked and fanatic Muslims think it is bidaat and shirk if a Muslim studies book of other faiths.

There is no need for you to be so proud of that separation - The Partition / Two Nation Theory - because it was first proposed by the Hindutvadis. The Indian centrist politician Shashi Tharoor said this last year :

Again...it has nothing to do with who proposed it...the point is we went out separate ways...and that's that.

Then what about other societies / countries - like Russia, China, North Korea, Egypt, Afghanistan etc ? These were peasantry-based societies largely yet they revolted.



Well, I like the Hindu concept of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" meaning "The world is one family". This is similar to the pan-human brotherhood sought by Islam and Communism. Pity that many practicing Hindus reject even Communism despite sharing at least one sentiment.



In my understanding Faiz and his comrades were closer to their goal compared to Yechury and Karat. I have met the state secretary for my state of one of the Indian public communist groups. About three meetings. He told me that they wish to achieve their goals by working within the ambit of the Constitution. Unfortunately I didn't ask what that means.



Well, I believe that the full loaf will be all Muslims adopting Communism because I believe the Modern Communism can be considered an advancement of Islam. I quote from my thread whose OP is an article by Nadeem Paracha :

My desire is for Muslims to meld their beliefs with Modern Communism.

2. AFAIK Communism came to govern Somalia, Albania and Afghanistan - all Muslim-majority. And then there were the Muslim republics in the USSR.

3. The PKI ( Communist Party of Indonesia, a Muslim-majority country ) was the third-largest communist group in the world, until 1965-66 when Suharto's mullah militia and right-leaning state forces genocided two million ( one source says three ) of PKI members, sympathizers or basically anyone even suspected to be associated with PKI. And there were / are communist groups in other Muslim-majority societies like Palestine and Iraq. The Communist Party of India had at least three of its founding members in 1920 in Tashkent being Muslims.



What is the Hindu equivalent of the Islamic "Interest-based economics causes disharmony" ?



The IMF Chief Economist should first research on the few million people in India who had committed suicide because of socio-economic reasons since 1947 and India being an extremely capitalist society.



1. There were farmer rallies taken out in Maharashtra and Karnataka too, and there were busloads of Bihari farmers going towards Delhi but they were stopped by police. You could have known of these informations through credible news agencies.

2. You complain of Rakesh Tikait bringing in farmers but don't mention Modi and other BJP functionaries doing rallies in West Bengal, Assam etc, all in COVID times.



One simple example. If India had adopted the "Suicide is haram" mentality of Islam, if India had adopted the socialistic socio-economics of Islam ( for example, "Interest-based economics is haram" ), would those 300,000+ Indian farmers have committed suicide between 1995 and 2015 because of socio-economic reasons ?



I am not much of an admirer of military campaigns but where in India's education system is taught what you mention ? I must mention here that I dropped out of college during the exam of 10+2.



The wife can also initiate talaq. quote a section from this thread OP of mine which is an article by an Indian Christian woman who married an Indian Muslim under Islamic marriage law because that better secured her socio-economic future in case of divorce :





Will you not agree that what is at fault is not the theory but the implementation ? I am sure that those men who do Instant Triple Talaq and mistreat their wives in other ways are very pious and all that - never missing prayer, roza and all that.

Hindu concept of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" is a Post-Independence Marketing buzz-word that they throw around, to attract foreign tourists and better diplomacy, What do you actually see in practice ?

Communism and other similar ideologies enables and motivates common masses to leverage their numbers, to challenge the dominance of rich and powerful. People who benefited from systematically oppressing masses since 5000 years will naturally, dislike egalitarian ideologies like Islam, Christianity or Communism.

You may be correct.

Edit : The Centrists Hindus like Nehru and his family of PMs did believe in VK to an extent.

I agree but just about the timeline, Hinduism is not as old as 5000 but just about 3000 or so years.

@Drizzt, I add a line to my above post.

The extend to which so-called Centrist Hindu and Centrist Congress believed in VK, is very clear if you go through Sachar Committee report.
