#212, Yes, Tahmed, this is actually my ghost!

#212 that's right. taliban beat women. pious hindus merely kill them - in the fetus, in the kitchen, and (until the brits put an end to it) on funeral pyres.

"And its a bit annoying to hear the usual bakwaas about how islam saved the world from darkness..."

How can a cult that preached violence against the mankind and dishonouring of captive women show any semblance of light to the world? You must be joking!!

"Somehow, Ashoka violated that rule ( some people claim)...."

Ashoka did not really break the rule. Every citizen of Kalinga came to the battlefied in the garb of a soldier, wielding weapons. Obviously all is fair in war in such a situation.

"..then what were Ashwamedha Yagnas all about? "

Ashwamedha was not about annexing the kingdom. It was only a process of establishing the fact that the concerned king did not face any challenge to his invincible power. Whoever did not stop the horse and paid respect to the army following the horse were not caused any loss. When Lord Rama performed ashwamedha, other states did not merge into Ayodhya.

This is not comparable to the muslim plunderer's policy of looting the vanquished land and taking civilians as slaves, (which even the prophet did.)

nkg:

"pre-Ashoka period, India was collection of 16 or more states and nobody tried to integrate it into large empire"

..then what were Ashwamedha Yagnas all about?

shandana, i just wanted to mention i've left a comment on an older story you wrote, "Nipa Chowrangi". please check back to read it. i enjoy reading your work.

pre-Ashoka period, India was collection of 16 or more states and nobody tried to integrate it into large empire....even the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata tells, when the opponent loose in the war, the victor used to appoint some of the relatives of the vanquished to the throne, and came back...Ram had not put his brother in the throne of Lanka, neither he tried to expand the kingdom of Ayodhya to bigger one....So, the status quo used to be maintained...furthermore, Indian rule of law used to restrict armed forces to attack and kill similar force ( cavalry vs cavalry, rathi ( those who fight riding chariot) vs rathi... and it was strictly prohibited to touch the civilians)....Somehow, Ashoka violated that rule ( some people claim)....so all the digging down and to find Seleucus's sister might have brought some gene which resulted in such behaviour from Ashoka the Great....

Re: # 205 pew

the following statement was interesting:

There aren't many countries in world where you feel like you feel in america or europe... and india is one of them...

apparently india "Feels" like america to americans themselves, railroad tracks and slumdogs notwithstanding...

shandana minhas has no grasp on facts,
she writes that taliban were doing ethnic cleansing, hanging ppl from lamp posts etc, assaulting girls.. i wonder where ppl get these reports.
as a good reporter or writer one must have their facts extremely straight and not fall to personal whims and desires or what one hears on the tele.
the taliban era was a golden era in afghanistan and every man and woman in afghanistan will testify to it... peace prevailed, crime rate was 0 and a ideal muslim society was taking shape.
this is what instilled fear in the west and jews and they realized that if the muslims go back to their original system i.e living in accordance to quarn and sunnah they will have no future in the middle east or anywhere.
so they decided to make these stories and attack them... sadly muslims fall for their lies rather then look at facts and help their muslim brothers.
if the west and ms. minhas is so concerned about human rights and girls being assaulted and bodies being hanged to lampposts maybe her next article should be against israel where all this is happening now and its in record.
