Can you elaborate on why you say Idli appears in Tirumala in the 14th century? On what basis are you saying it? Thanks GRS

Sridhar saar: Sadly, you are preaching to the choir. The request is quite legit; I have studied in CBSE and know what you say. That was not my focus though. Just that we can not say North Indian history is irrelevant. GRS

SPS: After my 10th class, I wanted to get into the History stream. I found history, geography, civics etc very fascinating. My parents thought there was no scope for career. So I was asked to get into science stream. As an Indian, North Indian is a…

Hinduism and CRY wolf - PS group
I object to the "always" me starting or inflaming tensions. Since you have been candid, let me be candid too. Unlike some of the other moderators, who clearly say religion is not for this group; you say that and as a passing shot add your …

Hinduism and CRY wolf - PS group
SPS sir: Pardon me for asking very simple questions. But please do entertain me. 1) What is "history"? 2) And what do we discuss under history? 3) Can we study history and learn something from it?

Hinduism and CRY wolf - PS group and a problem.
That is a very unfair or incorrect assessment of people. The "secularists" (or pseudo-secularists) are equally susceptible to strong emotions and sentiments. If they are not, then they can not stand up for what they believe. In fact they a…

How much of Indian History is Hindu History (North East)
Wrong. I no where claimed I was speaking for anybody. Neither is my tone in that fashion. So your accusation is blatantly FALSE. I no where have claimed or denied you or others to being part of any majority; for that matter I have not attributed y…

I guess that paragraph can be counted as reaching the heights of insensitivity of the majority. You are talking about the same land where temples have been demolished and the majority are threatened too. I get a sense of cats closing their eyes and…

Article in JV on Ayirathil Oruvan - Reference to PS is made
Did he show the medieval cholas as cannibals or the isolated group in contemporary times as cannibals. There lies an important distinction. grs

Well, I can more only after watching it. If he implies the earlier Cholas as Cannibals, then it is one thing but if he is showing the "fictitious present day Cholas" then there is no historical basis for argument or object. I have the ri…

Well, I have bee looking at providing some links to substantiate my thoughts that religion - Christianity in particular - is cause of some problems in NE India. So here are some links on Nagaland: 1) http://www.nagalim.us/index.php?option=com_conte…

In Hindi they say if one can not get ghee with a straight finger, one has to crook the finer (tedi ungli). It looks like in 1989, there was a survey or poll in USA; and they found Americans to be highly ignorant of geography. So National Geographic …

I have not seen the movie and so can not totally say one way or the other. But Hollywood makes numerous mistakes too. Yet that does not give freedom for others to make mistakes. But isn't it refreshing to note that somebody has even the guts/b…

Solar and Lunar Eclipses during Mahabharata
Oh there are tonnes of dates of MBh. Vartak and Kak have given their dates too. We have anywhere from 1500BC to 5000+BC. Even if one considers the most conservative dates - circa 1500BC, it makes Vedic Age older than what the main stream (a.k.a We…

Name one tamilian, from the past, you would love to meet.
Yes, Cholas or Pallavas are considered as tamilians. As I said initially, we should not nitpick; if they had tamilian heritage we should consider them.

The reason I like Valluvar is because of Thirukural. The three most important books I have encountered are ArthaSastra, Bhagavad Gita and Thirukural (alphabetically listed). I am sure there are other books by Indians. Another book in this genre but …
