The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Ladduji,

Would you please pen down a list of qualification a writer like Muradbhai need to possess before he publishes anything on Sanatan Dharma / Hinduism.

List could be:

1. Knowledge of Sanskrit
2. Understanding of Bhagwad Geeta, KathoUpanishad, Patanjali Yoga Sutra ...

Since he is married to a Hindu lady it would be interesting to know how he treats his wife and kids. Are they allowed to explore their heriatge on mother side and the culture of the land. Lot of Islamists are plate pissers!

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Muradbhai,

I will assume you are preparing your answers. But answers from heart dont need preparation. Truth is dynamic, balance happens when one is fast. So speak up! Nothing to lose but fear, ignorance and ego.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Ladduji

Would you please give a good shape to these questions and create a good list of qualifications one need to possess before any one writes on Sanatan Dharma or Hinduism. You are much better writer and have lot of knowledge on Sanatan Dharma / Hinduism.

I feel one needs to live the ism for extended period of time intensely before one publishes anything on that ism. Same is true for sciences, medicine, engineering and even Maths. we ned to have IITs for social sciences otherwise any tom Adbullah and Hari might start propagating his theories/opinions about the ism. I shoud not be allowed to publish my opinions on Islam, at bestshould be allowed to hold mirror in front of believers.

We would know a lot about you if you answer following:

1. Did you or your wife decide to change her name to a Islamic one? Does she carry your last name? We know you are not carrying her last name.

2. What are the names of your kids? Which schools do they attend to. Do they attend Hindi medium schools where Indian culture is taught? Indian culture means Hindustani Music, Dances such as Bharat Natyam etc. Are they learning Sanskrit? Taken some effort to learn Vedic Maths? Do they regualrly visit Indian temples and historical places, even pilgrimage places suchas Prayag, Nasik (Trayambekeshwar), Rameshwar etc.? Do they participate in local Ganesh Puja, Durga Puja and ShivJayanti? Are they passionate about stopping pollution of Ganga? Can they sing Kabirs dohes?

Answers to these questons will give us an idea about where you come from. We do not want yet another foreigner tell us who we are when his own community is way below us in most of the indices of human development.

No malice intended!

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Hello Muradbhai,

"You are being very personal but my wife remains a devout Hindu and my children went to public schools in India."

Muradbhai,

Does she take your last name? Obviously you are not taking her last name. Are the names of your kids Arabic/Persian or Indic?

Did you study Sanskrit to learn about Sanatan Dharma?

Did you make your kids go to temples, ashrams of different swamis and gurus to learn the faith of your wife? BTW my kids went to church and Dhamma Sthal twice a month when till few years back. I was also Bahai follower in 97-98 because of a Greek female friend. Hope this opens you up!

Tahir Miyan, I also did Namaz five times for a year with good Muslim friend for a year, more to have discipline than anything else. It was more to take stock of my thoughts and my reactions during two Namaz. So, my apologies are not fake! Please do not respond! Bandwidth is precious and I am finely tuned to Baig Ji

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Muradbhai,

I am finely tuned to your signal filtering out the noise of tahir, eklavya and mystics. Hello r u there?

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Muradbhai,

Thanks for your reply 840! I hope you did not get hurt. I do not have malice. Both of us dearly care for the land which nourished us in many different ways and atleast I feel fortunate to be born in this land and culture.

You have not given answers to many other questions. Would you please. You are a public figure. I can hide behind a nick but you cannot. Not fair but part of the game!

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Tahir Uncle,

"What is the secret? How do Indian parents allow their Guddus, Pappus, Laddus, Pinkus to grow up so confused and wasters of believers' time?"

You are really very pious one, but we do not want yet another foreigner tell us who we are when his own community is way below us in most of the indices of human development. After a good meal of sheesh-kabab prepared by a maid you come here to give Islamic burps. We do not like the smell. India was fine before Muslim came and will be better if they leave. Sorry to be little harsh!

Would you please do a fast on posting and asking foolish questions! Thanks!

The world is saying - It's Islam stupid!

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Ladduji, Do you want to add few more points to my list about credentials Murabdhai need to possess before he writes articles on Sanatan Dharma / Hinduism?

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation "As I had said before the responses to this article would make a very interesting book."

Please dont forget to send few checks my way. Good Luck!

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation "The same goes for ISLAM. I try to never speak of Islamic architcture, art, scripts, culture or atrocities because these were not the creations of the religion but the good and bad activities of numerous people like the Arabs, Persians, Mongols, Afghans Turks, etc."

Since you claim to be historian, do you know who were the architect of TajMahal (TejoMahal), so called Qutub Minar? Is it realistically possible for taliaban if it ever conquered midwest of USA to build Sears Towers. You will have to find how it was funded by Sears and Roebock company and the chief structural engineer of the architectural firm was a Bengali Muslim. You should also study how these monuments for deads made living peasants and workers poor. Vain Rajputs and Mughals did not see what was happening in europe at that time. May be Mughals still thought that they were foreigners in this land, and had no intention of being protector of culture of this land and well being of all citizens.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation "The same can be said for Divali, Holi, Naoroz, Passover, etc. Many were honest celebrtations of spring and autumn harvests and the religious fairy tales are unnecessary."

On the first day of Diwali Narkasur was killed. When kids get up early at 4 AM and before taking bath (given by the parents) they crush with their feet symbolic Naraksur, once ego, jealosy and other mental traits which can make a family disfunctional. What is harm in such a ritual? It's not stepping on someone else rights and freedom. If you complain about pollution of all kinds due to fire crackers then you have a point. Have you done something about it?
There are similar events (may be mythical to you) with Holy, Dassahara and Muharram.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation "But raking the old ashes in the present time to forment more sectarian strife is deplorable. "

But not raking the old ashes in the present time so that equal-eaual can be done between religions and dharmas to make people rootless and cultureless is a crime against humanity. It is Mao style destruction of culture. Keep it in mind that India is democracy not because of JN or JNU but because of Dharmic mooring of the Indian culture.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation "I also hate the mythification of all the prophets, apostles, saints, sages, sacred dreams, etc., that have distorted the words of the founders in all religions."

What you call myths is Itihaas for us. It wets our hearts so that we can be rooted in culture. Culture is fluid. Dry intellectualization can create monsters such as effery dahmer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Dahmer and culture destroyers and brain eaters such as Romilla. In your own neck of the woods, a Bishop Cotton school graduate, Pandher, turns into a serial murderer because of rootless-ness and cultureless-ness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moninder_Singh_Pandher

The real meaning of the word will get freshly revealed to you when you become wordless.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Muradbhai,

"The practitioners of all religions did many violent and evil things in the holy name of their gods. "

All or some! Violent and evil things were done by Abrahmic religions except Judaism. You are right, Dharmas are not religions! Sanatan Dharma, Bouddha Dharma, Jaina Dharma and Sikh Dharma have not done violent and evil things in the holy name of their gods. Except in recent past Bhindranwale gave bad name to Sikh Dharma by his karnames.

Whom you might be calling ugly duckling among the ducklings of religions is actually a Dharma of a swan type.

The \'One God\' Religions of Revelation Muradbhai,

"But please note that though I have a Muslim name I am a non practicing Muslim who does not believe in any religion."

We can not see what you practice in your mind or not. What you practice will show up in your action. I googled for your articles on this CMS, DostMitra told that you are married to a Hindu lady practicing or nonpracticing. We would know a lot about you if you answer following:

1. Did you or your wife decide to change her name to a Islamic one? Does she carry your last name? We know you are not carrying her last name.

2. What are the names of your kids? Which schools do they attend to. Do they attend Hindi medium schools where Indian culture is taught? Indian culture means Hindustani Music, Dances such as Bharat Natyam etc. Are they learning Sanskrit? Taken some effort to learn Vedic Maths? Do they regualrly visit Indian temples and historical places, even pilgrimage places suchas Prayag, Nasik (Trayambekeshwar), Rameshwar etc.?
