Dear people who advocate pollution free Diwali.

Livestock as a whole is estimated to be responsible for around 18 to 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Animal agriculture and meat industry is the reason for at least 60% of the biodiversity loss.
Meet production requires 10 times more water and 50 times more land than plant production, leading to water scarcity and deforestation.
The leather industry is the cause of millions of tons of liquid waste in water bodies and one of the major reasons for soil pollution.
The meat industry is the reason for 100% of the total world hunger.

So if you cannot talk about the environment for the rest of the days of the year, cannot stop eating meat and cannot stop using leather, then
Stop preaching HINDUS how we should celebrate our festivals.

It won't make you an environmentalist but a hαteful bigot.

The Unforgotten Tale Of Bravery (When Akbar begged a Hindu Kshatrani to spare his life.)

Kiran Devi was the daughter of Shakti Singh who was the brother of Maharana Pratap.
Akbar was perverted. To satisfy his lust, every year he would arrange for an exhibition in Delhi. It was known as the ‘Nouroz Mela’.The Hindu Queens, as well as the other women from Delhi, paid a visit to this exhibition in order to buy goods and jewelry.
No men were allowed in there. Akbar disguised as a woman encroached the place every year to hunt for the woman in order to satisfy his desire.
One day Kirandevi came to the exhibition to see its pompous and offerings. Akbar had an eye on Kirandevi for a long time.

You are wrong my rākshasa fríend

Rigveda 10.85 is on Surya, the sun (an analogy for the spiritual source of our intelligence). Btw where do you pick up these kinds of translations? The colonìal mìssìonaries like Gríffíth?
The Rig Veda hymn (10•85•44/45), the wedding prayer, indicates the rights of a woman as wife. It is addressed to the bride sitting next to bridegroom. It touches upon few other issues as well. Here is the correct translations of these mantras:
”Come, O desired of the Devas, beautiful one with tender heart, with the charming look, good towards your husband, kind towards animals, destined to bring forth heroes. May you bring happiness for both our quadrupeds and bipeds.” (Rig Veda 10.85.44/45) Image

Buddha did not reject Vedas. If you review the basic precepts of Buddhism, they are simply Vedic teachings reworded. The famous Buddhist chant of Om Mani Padme Hum speaks for itself on glory of Om (ओम्)– that originates from Vedas and is integral part of Hinduism.
For a snapshot of Buddha’s teachings I give quotes from the Dhamma-pada–

Just as a brahman priest reveres his Yajna, even so should one devoutly revere the person from whom one has learned the Dharma taught by the Buddha. (392)
In Sutta Nipat 503 Buddha says that–

“One should support a person who is master of Vedas, contemplative, intelligent, helpful if you desire to inculcate similar traits.”

Actually It's Rigveda 1/50/4 ( There's nothing like 1/50 ) Which is talking about Surya Deva. Here is the full mantra of Rigveda– त॒रणि॑र्वि॒श्वद॑र्शतो ज्योति॒ष्कृद॑सि सूर्य । विश्व॒मा भा॑सि रोच॒नम् ॥
In this verse, (the reference is to the sun light) who moves 2202 yojans in half nimish. Yojan is a quite common unit in Bharat, it means 4 kose, each kose measuring 8000 British yards and each yard measuring 0.9144 m.
The definition of the time unit nimish can be found in Shrimadbhagwat 11-3 to 10) where it is mentioned that 15 nimishas make 1 kashta, 15 kashtas make one laghu, 30 laghus make 1 muhurta and 30 muhurtas make 1 diva-ratri. A diva-ratri, which is 24 hours in modern language.

The 'extreme state' of illiteracy

This little rakshasa does not even know what he is quoting. This is the shlok: “न मां दुष्कृतिनो मूढाः प्रपद्यन्ते नराधमाः।माययापहृतज्ञाना आसुरं भावमाश्रिताः॥7.15॥” This verse is talking of a baddha (not free) person who is bound to the world.
Word by word translation:

Mudhah, the foolish; duskrtinah, evildoers, sinners; who are nara-adhamah, the most depraved among men; who are also apa-hrta-jnanah, deprived of, despoiled of (their) wisdom; mayaya, by Maya; and asritah, who resort to; asuram bhavam, demoniacal, ways
such as cruelty, untruthfulness, etc.; na, do not; prapadyante, take refuge; man, in Me, the Brahman.

In the above verse, lord Krishna is talking about people who are engage in temporary material world, who refuse to know the goal of life, leave alone the consciousness.
