By the way, if you think I am posting too many India-related posts here, I'd be thankful to you if you could indicate to me if I am being inconsiderate.Not a problem here with India related posts. If they're appropriate, I don't think anyone does. And many would like to see them, I'm sure.
I think what bd476 was trying to tell you is that he knows a bit about Hinduism and some of the info you posted in replies here on your thread is from blog sources, and that they are opinion and factually incorrect. There is where the debate is to be had, perhaps.
That's what I've been trying to convince him of. The sources I gave were official sites of the authors of those editorials. I even took the trouble to search their archives for the original article, and have pasted links to the very same. But apparantly, he wouldn't accept.
And a little bit of fault lies in me too, perhaps, since I did post an earlier piece from a blog-like site. But the reason for posting it was because it had elements in it which could be used to verify the content. For example, verses with their numbers were present on the piece, and it wouldn't be too much trouble to use them to check for errors.
