i am sorry to ask but what is pendulum?
.
OK, i am hypnotized. what's next?
.
ok, now believe sufism is not islam
what's Kali Yuga?
.
The age of Kali (yuga is age) began around 5000 years ago. It is the fourth age in the cycle, before the first age is repeated. It represents ignorance and materialism.

just check the number of Hindu and Buddhist temples demolished by Mughals to construct mosques, imagine the helplessness of hindus to witness those. Now you should have got idea about how cunning and possessive the mughals were, there were uncountable number of forced conversions.
Temples demolished in India by Muslim Invaders to construct mosques.
Qawwat al-Islam Mosque at Delhi: "According to my findings the first mosque of Delhi is Qubbat al-Islam or Quwwat al_Islam which, Qutubud-Din Aibak constructed in H. 587 after demolishing the hindu temple built by Prithvi Raj and leaving certain parts of the temple outside the mosque proper; and when he returned from Ghazni in H. 592 he started building, under orders from Shihabud -Din Ghori, a huge mosque of inimitable red stones, and certain parts of the temple were included in the mosque..."
The Mosque at Jaunpur: "This was built by Sultan Ibrahim Sharqi with chiselled stones. Originally it was a Hindu temple after demolishing which he constructed the mosque. It is known as the Atala Masjid.."
The Mosque at Qanauj: "It is well known that this mosque was built on the foundations of some Hindu temple that stood here. The mosque was built by Ibrahim Sharqi in H. 809 as is recorded in Gharbat Nigar"
Jami Masjid at Etwah: "This mosque stands on the bank of the Jamuna at Etawah. There was a Hindu temple at this place, on the site of which this mosque was constructed.."
Babri Masjid at Ayodhya: "This mosque was constructed by Babar at Ayodhya which Hindus call the birth place of Ramchandraji... Sita had a temple here in which she lived and cooked for her husband. On that very site Babar constructed this mosque in H.963 "
Mosque at Benaras: "Mosque of Benares was built by Alamgir Aurangzeb on the site of Bisheshwar Temple. That temple was very tall and held as holy among Hindus. On this very site and with those very stones he constructed a lofty mosque, and its ancient stones were rearranged after being embedded in the walls of the mosque. It is one of the renowned mosques of Hindustan."
Mosque at Mathura: "Alamgir Aurangzeb built a mosque at Mathura. This mosque was built on site of the Govind Dev Temple which was very strong and beautiful as well as exquisite.."
so explain why the rate of religious conversion decreased after the decline of mughals....
OK, thank you. i have one more question though. is this time 4th 1000 of 5000 years which would leave us like 1000 years more?
.
already 4 years passed since CBI investigation team made such a claim, but they were unable to prove before the court. They gained enough trust during the initial stages but not anymore, as it lacks credibility. .
Im not trying to justify the actions of some fanatics of the past or the present.My point is that one should not think that the advent of Abrahamic faiths is the sole cause of the current problems in India and that India was a peaceful and free country before.The reality is that India was never a peaceful and free country.I also do not deny the fact that occupying forces like the Mughals demolished temples and built mosques.The reasons for demolision couldve been either sheer hate or just becoz the vast majority in some areas became muslim,Migration of Hindus to Hindu dominated areas etc etc who knows?! I bet many Hindus also wudve been reluctant to live with the meat or beef eating Muslims.Some of them still are unfortunately!
i did not claimed that india was peaceful country, but it became worse when mughals arrived, Hindus as a whole struggled. Mughals even did not show mercy in adopting the method to kill people.The reality is that India was never a peaceful and free country.

And as for why the rate of Hindu conversions declined,the answer is simple.The rate of opression declined.After the Mughal and British rule,the upper caste Hindus realized that mobilizing Hindus under one fold is necessary to fight the spread of the two GIGANTIC faiths Islam and Christianity.They have now come up with a false idea of HINDU UNITY for this purpose.
im putting your post in bold to catch attention of every people.Fortunately,many Hindus realise that this idea is only temporary and only to fight the dominance of Christianity and Islam in the Indian society.Once this is achieved and the upper castes get their lost control and positions,the same oppressive caste system will return back in full force.
And with regards to your comment of "uncountable conversions".i think that is simply false.Hindus wud still be an overwhelming majority even when India,pakistan and bangladesh are taken together.In India itself they are more than 80 percent of the population.What does this show??
Any proof for they were converted back to hinduism by force, it is well known that cristian missionaries are making use of poverty of india to convert people in Orissa, that is they would help only if people accept their faith. Poor people are least interested in christianity but they have no choice other than to accept christianity to feed their children. Hindu pepole just rescued these people from christian missionaries. Also christian missionaries violated religious freedom act. The Orissa Freedom of Religion Act, 1967, mentions that no person shall “convert or attempt to convert, either directly or otherwise, any person from one religious faith to another by the use of force or by inducement or by any fraudulent means”.[9][10] Christian missionaries have argued that spreading their faith is a religious duty of Christianity. These religious acts came to being when it was realized that christian missionaries are making use of poverty of people. Tell my why cristian missionaries have less interested in other states of India?And what about the reconversions that are taking place??Many hindus who converted in recent times to Christanity were reconverted back to hinduism by force.
Christians were butchered and burnt alive by extremists.Nuns were gang raped.
What again was the reason for this reaction????!!!!!!!Did the Christians burn a train too??????!!
What logic in justifying oppression of muslims by stating past social conditions of India, it is true indias social condition was not good but after the arrival of mughals it became worse like hell in earth, many people suicided fearing muslims soldier, they even struggled to get sleep at night expecting attack from mughal soldiers. You are just dodjing the crime of muslims by putting forward past social conditions of india, explain why it is need for discussing those here?
And social problems existed in all cultures not just in those of indians
i did not claimed that india was peaceful country, but it became worse when mughals arrived, Hindus as a whole struggled. Mughals even did not show mercy in adopting the method to kill people.
And tell me which country had such a pleasant time? Fight between shia and sunni exists even today, becoming more worse.
enough !!!
your intention is now very clear, you have reasons for every crime mughals did.
Also what is the need for destroying temples to construct mosques, was there such a scarcity for land? Hindu temples are full of architecture and monuments, they are bulit after decades of hardwork of thousands of people, you still believe mughals were not possessive? Actually from now you does not deserve to be responded, it is well known that mughals looted properties of hindus, and you have different reasoning for all those..
i dont like these sort of jokes, you proved you are such an ignorant when comes to history of India, caste system existed even after british rule, and was not at all better fromt those of past, even you pointed out the same in your previous post, now you talk differently.
im putting your post in bold to catch attention of every people.
India is the most democratic country in the world.

again, from where all these happened?
And who started the violonce first?
Attack on lakshmanandala
Swami Lakshamanananda, a Hindu Monk, was on his way to visit trouble spot. However, a bus belonging to Mr. Sugriba Singh, Panna Christian leader and BJD Member of Parliament (Lower House) obstructed the road and Swami was attacked on that spot injuring him, driver and security guard.
Wikipedia - - attack on lakshmanandala
His work for the upliftment of isolated tribal population and opposition to aggressive proselytizing, had run afoul of several evangelical Christian groups as well as maoist terrorists. He was severely injured in an attack by a Christian mob on Christmas
Wikipedia - Lakshmananda attacks
Assasination of Lakshmananda
He was assassinated along with four disciples at his kanyashram (Girls school) at Tumudibandh, about 100 km from Phulbani, the district headquarters of Kandhmal district on the sacred day of Janmashtami. A group of 30-40 armed men surrounded the Ashram. Four of the assailants carried AK-47s and many others had locally made revolvers. Two of the four government provided security guards had gone home to eat. The assailants tied and gagged the two remaining guards.
Wikipedia - Lakshmanananda Assassination
Investigation into the assassination
The police have arrested Pradesh Kumar Das, an employee of the World Vision, a Christian Charity, from Khadagpur while escaping from the district at Buguda. In another drive, two other persons Vikram Digal and William Digal have been arrested from the house of Lal Digal, a local militant Christian, from Nuasahi at Gunjibadi, Nuagaan. They have admitted to having joined a group of 28 other assailants
Aggressive proselytizing
The aggressive proselytization activities which teach hatred, coerce newly converted to go against customs of the land by forcing them to slaughter cows and to eat beef, cut down sacred trees, denigrate Hindu gods, is against the pluralistic and tolerant nature of India. These acts will only further aggravate communal relations. Hence the need for the government to strongly come down Christian aggression in India.
never in the history of india christians were treated bad, it all occured after the arrival of christian missionaries, after the attack by christian missionaries over Hindu gurus.
Note: Im not justifying hindu extermists, but you should know how it all happened !!!
As prophesied or will it be reversed?
(1) It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of allah) hate (it).

Muslims Are Taking Over The World at an ALARMING Rate
right!So if you look at my original post u will see that it was a reply to YOSEF and not you but since you bothered to reply to my post i thot u too hold the same views as his.And FYI,im not trying to justify the actions of Mughal conquerers here.I was only trying to correct the misconception of some ppl that India was a perfect place before Islam and Christianity came.
Plus i dont know if uve learned this part of indian history but id like to ask if u know about the great emperor Akbar and Tipu Sultan.As far as i know ,they were liked by both Muslims and Hindus.So not all Muslim Kings were butchers,rapists and terrorists were they?
Peace!
WOW! u talk as if the Mughals were out to wipe the whole of Hindus off the face of the earth... What an exaggeration !!!!!!The Mughals ruled India for centuries and they were brutal but how much percent of the Hindu population did these butchers forcibly convert???Can u give us some figures plzzz at least an approximate???What about south India??How did Islam spread in South India??Dont tell me the Mughals went butchering people there also??? And where did this Shia ,Sunni conflict come up from all of sudden?Who is discussing that here??
Did u read about the incidents in Orissa ??Christians were butchered and burnt alive by extremists.Nuns were gang raped.
What again was the reason for this reaction????!!!!!!!Did the Christians burn a train too??????!!
Peace!
What about south India??How did Islam spread in South India??Dont tell me the Mughals went butchering people there also??
And where did this Shia ,Sunni conflict come up from all of sudden?Who is discussing that here??
And as for why did the Mughals destroy temples,im not really sure why.Probably the same reasons why some fanatics went out to destroy an ancient mosque and build a temple in its place in Ayodhya.
True!I agree! im totally ignorant of one sided versions of indian history but i think im having a good study of it now !And when did i say caste system did not exist at the time of the British??what i meant was that the severity of the oppression reduced over time.Dont u think its far better now??And like it or not ,Christianity and Islam has contributed substantially to it.
Oh yeah ! It certainly is a great democracy THANK GOD FOR THAT!!Unfortunately,some retarded religious fanatics and political goons are murdering democracy in India.
