It's not? Didn't I provide you the clue for how many times you want that cobra to appear ~ remember, in the story of Ma-Nu, there are 7 sages, not 8.

BTW, last time I looked there were still Hindus in Pakistan (not many but some are there), and in Kashmir ~ although the number of Indian troops ther emight well outnumber them.

But whatever number there are, that simply does not prevent militant Hindus from going to Kashmir to "do their thing". I' suggest the "gangs", with or without names, have no trouble creating mayhem.

"Na-NU" may ass. 7 sages comes from the "Big Dipper" called "Saptarishi" in Sanskrit. The magical Vedic number is always 8, not seven. Go get some real education first.

The last time I looked there were still Jews in Germany, Christian Black Arficans in Darfur, Tutsis in Rawanda, Bengali Hindus in Bangladesh, Zorostrians in Iran, Hindus and Sikhs in Afghanistan, Serbs in Bosnia. So whats your argument?

Why don't you cut the crap and name some "millitant Hindu gangs" operating in Kashmir? YOU LYING MORON!

BTW read about the significans of number 7 in other religions:

In Judiaism:

"A highly symbolic number in the Torah, alluding to the infusion of spirituality and Godliness into the Creation. For example:
God rested on and sanctified the 7th day (Shabbat)
A seven-day purification period is required for one who has become tamei to become tahor
The Shemittah (Sabbatical) year arrives every 7th year
The Jubilee (Yovel) year comes after 7 times 7 years
The Counting of the Omer leading up to the Giving of the Torah is expressed as "7 times 7 weeks"

The weekly Torah portion is divided into seven aliyahs, and seven men or boys over the age of 13 are called up for the reading of these aliyahs during Shabbat morning services
Seven blessings are recited under the chuppah during a Jewish wedding ceremony
A Jewish bride and groom are feted with seven days of festive meals after their wedding, known as Sheva Berachot ("Seven Blessings")
The number of Ushpizzin (also known as the "Seven Shepherds") who visit the sukkah during the holiday of Sukkot: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, and David
The number of nations God told the Israelites they would displace when they entered the land of Israel (Deut. 7:1): the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite "

In Islam:
"The number of ayat in surat al-Fatiha
The number of heavens in Islamic tradition
The number of Earths in Islamic tradition
The numbers 7, 70, 70,000, etc. are used in Islamic traditions to denote an infinite or high number. In Arabic, 70, 70,000, etc. is used to mean infinite. This is because 1 is the smallest number, 2 is just after 1, 5 and 10 are exact, 4 and 6 are just before and after 5, and 9 is just before 10. This leaves 3, 7, and 8. 8 is closer to the end although it is larger. 8 is also an even number, so divisible by 2. Between 3 and 7, 3 is smaller so 7 is chosen to represent infinite. "

In Christianity:
"In the Bible, the number seven is the perfect number, six is imperfect.
The number of Archangels according to some systems. Seven Archangels
In the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew 18:21, Jesus says to Peter to forgive seventy times seven people. [1]
"

"The number of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, and Pride.
The number of the Seven Virtues: Chastity, Moderation, Liberality, Charity, Meekness, Zeal and Humility, corresponding to the seven deadly sins.
The seven terraces of Mount Purgatory (one per deadly sin)
The number of sacraments in the Roman Catholic faith

The number of palms in an Egyptian Sacred Cubit
The number of heads of the beast of the Book of Revelation, and of some other monsters, like the hydra and the number of seals. "

Oh I am sure the murders could even be Jews going by your logic.
