This is the quote,It is clearly quote on Indian context.I don't care whether Kajuraho looks like Tajmahal or not,But it certainly finest example of Indian architecture.
Would you allow nudity and pornography on the streets of Mumbai and other major metropolitan cities?
That's what the Khajuraho has outside it's walls.
Really tell that to Saudi Arabia,How they are using Salafi ideology to justify the tyrannical rule of House of Saud.Mr Hypocrite Why don't you tell them to teach a neutral perspective that is acceptable to all sects of Islam.
Salafist are a minority in the Muslim world and a minority in Pakistan - they are only about 3-5%
You have shown your lack of knowledge about major world religions and are sticking to the small-mindedness of Hindutva that believes everything that happened in the world, including the polar bear, was because of Hindutva extremists.
Also, Salafism was not what caused this insensitive bigotry in the Indian textbooks.
If any body teaches "J" word as tenent then its obvious that it has some thing to do with Shiite beliefs and Of course Sunnis won't like it.But we don't tow the line of a Sunnis.
Bring proof from Shiite literature like Nehj ul balagha, Kitab al Kafi or any other literature where it shows that they have it as a tenet. They don't, I know their faith very well because of family, friends, colleagues, etc. You can't fool me or anyone else for that matter.
Also, there are many Shiites on this site from Pakistan and Iran that can refute you but we won't need that because I know their faith, very well, first hand.
If childrens have to learn about a religion then they have to learn it from all perspective.That's the true neutral line.If you don't like it then its your problem not ours.
Secular education in the universities of the West make sure not to teach religion from the perspective of Orientalists and others. If that was the case, Hinduism (Vaishnavism) would be teaching us that Sita was a meat-eater because she asked Ram to kill a deer (who later turned out to be Laxman).
But, they don't because you don't believe in eating meat - therefore, when someone teaches others that a specific religion's followers believe such and such, you have to teach that, verbatim.
In short, you're just pulling this non-sense from your behind and it has no relevance to how world religions are taught, all around the world.
Hakeems are Physicians and Muslims existed in South India even before Arab or Turkic Invasion.They had Hakims
Again, there is no proof for these Muslims going back to the courts of Haroon ul Rashid and such claims are not acceptable. Philip the Arab was a Roman King, we all know about it. Those Hakeems on the other hand, not so much.
That's just one reason for renaissance,More important reasons include Black Death and subsequent decline of Church's power.protestant reformation.Invention of printing press etc.
This is embarrassing. You obviously have no clue about history because protestantism only took place after the Renaissance because education had been promoted after which Martin Luther was able to find the flaws in the Catholic books whilst comparing it to the Jewish Tanakh (or Old Testament).
No such thing was allowed before this, because Jews were perceived negatively. They weren't even allowed to enter Jerusalem till after Caliph Hazrat Umar. It wasn't till after that, the Church started to decline.
This is a historical fact and I am not a chauvinistic Muslim or want to promote history from one end, alone. These are facts and need to be promoted as facts, and that's it. Those people were Arabs and have very little in common with me in culture, anyway.
Your ignorance is very amusing.Hindu Kingdoms in Kerala and other parts of South India had extensive trade relations with Arabs. Read about Muslims in Kerala and trade relations with.Also Google about Thangals in Kerala.They are Sayyids and they migrated to Kerala thousnads of yeras ago.
Knowing about this has no relevance to the point at hand, which is that no such fact has been proved except from a book created by some Hindutva extremist who also try to prove that Jesus was another reincarnation of Krishna.
Some of its stories are based on Caliph Harun al-Rashid.Some others have origins in Panchatantra and jataka stories.With out the Indian connection and translators how did this became folk stories in Arabic and Persian.
The mixtures of stories gives you that impression - they are not one single book but changed as they traveled - when they came to India, the local stories that had already existed were included into the original ones.
It is ironic to see that since the book came from the Arab world and had Indians stories included in it, it automatically became a Indo-Arab collaboration in Damascus, as per your imagination.
Don't know if British Monarchy will last that long.But certainly it will be considered a shining example of English literature for children's fantasy.
We know it as literature, as you said but it is saddening to see you remain adamant at trying to push it down our throats as something that can be used as historical or archaeological facts.
To celebrate, learn and become well-versed in culture and language is why we read Shakespeare and other works in Victorian English.
We do not read the Bible for the same purpose as we do Shakespearean works, despite it being in the same Victorian English, because people derive spiritual and religious doctrine from the Bible. Bible is not a secular book and the research done on it by secular people is by reading Josephus so they can understand history mentioned in the Bible, and do not use the Bible, per se.
Therefore, Harry Potter will be used to celebrate culture and language of this era, as you've managed to understand but it will not be used to learn or understand history, as you still can't seem to understand.
Similarly, One Thousand and One Nights is of absolute no relevance to reality or history.
It is depressing for your stubbornness in continuing a debate where you are trying to hang by using the most comical reasoning, I've ever come across.
They have also started to term the Jains as deprived Minority,one of Indias thriving Industrial classes who actually regard themselves as Hindus and also follow the caste system themself!!!
