Excellent. But do you know Singapore deliberately keeps Malay Muslims away from occupying important posts in military and internal security departments? Are you ready to accept Lee Kuan Yew's wisdom in this regard and implement same in India?
Agree. I’ve lived in Singapore three years & been hugely impressed by their relentless efforts to prevent any communal friction, which has helped them focus on development and growth. There’s a lesson there for all of us that some in our country are trying to get us to unlearn.

Beef eaters will not be allowed in any Hindu temple wherever we have the wherewithal to enforce it. Lack of ability to enforce it doesn't mean we have abandoned the principle. What's permissible is not determined by Pew survey. Keep that argument for next debate with Tharoor.
If argument against Ranbir Kapoor to not be allowed to do Darshan at Mahakaleshwar is that he eats beef by that logic there are other Hindus in the movie industry who eat beef and are currently loved by those who make this argument. Or may be there is no argument, just vandalism.

Be it Hindu fanatics who call Onam "Vamana Jayanthi" or Muslim and Christian fanatics who call it a Hindu festival, we react the same, by not giving a damn.

There is no dearth of material available over web to educate oneself on Indian architecture excluding the Islamic one. You can be little honest and tell that it's your own view instead of attributing it to a random 'liberal hindu indian friend' who has no relevance here.

Similar to Jewish Secularism, the attempt to reduce Hindu identity to mere ethnic and cultural without giving the required importance to religious aspect of Hinduism will be a detrimental blow to the idea of Hindutva. There can't be any Hindu identity without its religious side.

There is a reference to white pottery in one verse in Book IV (4.27.5). White pottery is a distinctive feature of Hakra Ware dated to 3000 BC. This goes against your dating of 1500-1250 BC for the Rgveda." Singh adds, "Witzel was dumbstruck. +

In 1950s when Hindu code bills were being discussed in parliament, N C Chatterjee (father of Somnath Chatterjee) was one of the few people who recognized the core issue i.e., secular state trying to interfere into the religious practices of one community.

Sitaram Goel had an MA in history but that's irrelevant. Alexander Cunningham who receives more citation in an year than an average PhD in History was an engineer. Vincent Smith was a civil servant. K P Jayasawal had only masters degree in History.
Aabhas is bringing out SR Goel, a man who had only a Bachelor's degree in history. Imagine that no Masters, No doctorate. Only a bachelors. No wonder Goel is the Messiah of people like Aabhas who also have zero expertise in history.

A journalist is a mercenary in their default mode. Don't read much into a speech made in an elocution competition. The wind is blowing towards the Right and that's why she takes such positions. These people should be kept away from political power as much as possible.
If Palki enters politics in the future, I would love to see her as India's External Affairs Minister.
She has the ability to single-handedly address UN hypocrisy with grace and diplomacy.

It now kind of makes sense why P V Narasimha Rao primarily chose to reform Indian economy's external sector, industrial policies and PSUs to limited extent. He largely left the welfare system and agriculture untouched. Certain sections of this country have aversion for change.

Ambedkar was just an ordinary individual who died in usual way like most of the humans. He wasn't even the pale shadow of Buddha that his death will be called महापरिनिर्वाण दिवस. You're just falling to a new low everyday in your attempt to worship Ambedkar.
भारत रत्न बाबासाहेब डॉ. भीमराव अम्बेडकर को उनके महापरिनिर्वाण दिवस पर सादर श्रद्धांजलि।

As a general principal of Hindu temple architecture, Garbhagrih is made less ornate than the outer structure. A garbhagrih even having plain walls is not a deviation from that principle. Stella Kramrisch beautifully summarizes the rationale behind it below.
First pictures of Ayodhya Ram Mandir's Sanctum Sanctorum released. The images were shared by Champat Rai, the General Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.

I was walking amidst the wood and found that a King Cobra was sleeping peacefully in my way. He didn't even bother about me. I fail to understand why do people portray King Cobra as dangerous and venomous. Trust me, harmless cobras exist. Don't be a bigot.

Marxist swine Rahul Sankrityayan praising the Islamic invaders and wishing if the entire India would have been converted to Islam for good.

That reminds me when a friend told me that 'कहाँ राजा भोज, कहाँ गंगू तेली' is a casteist proverb. Had a hard time explaining that गंगू refers to Kalchuri king Gangeydeva and तेली refers to Chulakyan king Tailapa II who jointly fought against Bhoja. Had to give actual Skt proverb.

In Bengal, Maa Durga is also shown seated on alligator in many of the medieval era sculptures. The iconography of a deity is not cast in stone and the Persian goddess Anahita's association with lion is taken from Bactrian goddess Nanaa. This doesn't mean Durga is Anahita.

As a journalist, your job is to report the facts. Whether it's Russia's or Ukraine's faults, it's for the people to decide. It's downright annoying to see journalists not being able to differentiate themselves from analysts and commentators.
It’s embarrassing to see how so many people are at pains to prove this war is not Russia’s fault.
Some of America’s military interventions/invasions in the name of bringing democracy were criminal. So is Russia’s attack on a sovereign Ukraine. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Swami Ranganathananda was one of the key representatives of a brand of Hindu swamis of the 20th century – projecting Hindu concepts on Islam; singing the glories of Muhammad, Gandhi and Nehru; a committed secularist who lacked discernment. He even found Jinnah to be secular.
Dear Indians, listen to this great Hindu Swami. Will you vote to save your religion from politics?

Mob did decide on the behalf of the temple. What else can you do other than reiterating the same stuff over and over again? Actions will anyday supersede all these lofty intellectual formulations. Salute to those Hindus who ensured that 'mob' could decide on something.
Temples should have a right to decide whether or not they allow certain people with certain eating habits inside their premises. But a mob cannot decide on behalf of the temple. That is the key difference here which most people fail to recognise and differentiate between.
