We have the Aihole Inscription, giving a date of 3101 BCE for the Kurukshetra war, which is confirmed by Aryabhatta's astronomical calculations, which are also confirmed by modern scholars making similar computations. A main objection to such dating is archaeology -- where is the
Historical Evidence of Krishna - Krishna is mentioned in Chhandogya Upnishad dated to 8th century BCE by modern Scholars. Even if we go by that date, Krishna was present around 3,000 years ago. Real date is much older than that. But this evidence from Chhandogya Upnishad is

I'm saddened to see so many Hindus arguing that eating meat and even cows is okay and allowed by scripture. Put aside sastra for a moment and just ask yourself, is God happy with the brutal slaughter of millions of poor animals, just so that you can taste their flesh? They are
