Food for thought.

It's not really food for thought - just more propaganda typical of the kind Hindus toss at Moslems, particularly Pakistanis, or that Pakistanis or Moslems toss at Hindus and Buddhists.

A lot has "gone down" in the Subcontinent over the centuries, and a good deal of it is remembered.

This fellow wants us to get excited about the plight of slaves from India being transported to the Middle East over the Hindu Kush in the 1300s. Frankly, I get much more excited about the Anglo-Saxon barbarians invading Brittany and slaughtering many of the relatives of my ancestors back in the 1300s! Why don't the Hindus get excited about that? It was certainly more relevant to history. Could it be that their experience under the iron heel of those very same Anglo-Saxons in later centuries has given them pause to wave around that particular set of dirty linen - after all, "they" might come back, and then what would Indian politicians do?

The only way these people are going to be able to move into the future is to adopt a more enlightened attitude toward their neighbors - and toward each other for that matter. There are still 100s of millions of people in India identified as harijan, or "outcaste". That problem is much closer to home, and more relevant, than the 1300s in the Himalayas. Time for these people to start taking care of their own problems first.

Alright, all of you STOP! A lot of horrible crimes have been committed over the centuries. Many of them in the name of God (Who, I'm sure, doesn't appreciate it one bit). It's good to remember the past, it's important because the past helped to create the future, but you can't dwell on it.

Thank you APFD, for posting this very informative article.

very nice article .. I don't know why ignorant people slam it just because they don't know anything about it.

I've noted that in India the official regime bends over backwards to accommodate the Muslims.
