1/n When Umar-II tried to make Leo-III a momin, he spoke of fakery related to Quran.
Leo says:
“You say that it was written by God, & brought down from the heavens, as you pretend for your Furqan (Quran) although we know that it was 'Umar, Abfi Turab & Salman the Persian,...
2/n ...who composed that, even though the rumor has got round among you that God sent it down from the heavens.”

3/n He further says:
“None of the Prophets has announced to the world a fourthperiod,whether for doctrine or for the promises. On the contrary we are ofttimes warned by our Saviour not to admit any other Prophet nor any Apostle after the death of His
disciples.”
4/n And then he calls out falsehoods. He says:
“As for your (book), you have already given us examples of such falsifications, & one knows, among others, of a certain Hajjaj, named by you as Governor of Persia, who had men gather up your ancient books,...
5/n which he replaced by others composed by himself, according to his taste, and which he propagated everywhere in your nation, because it was easier by far to undertake such a task among a people speaking a single language.
6/n From this destruction, nevertheless, there escaped a few of the works of Abfi Turab, for Hajjaj could not make them disappear completely.”

Gandhi further said, "...The Hindus must have the courage and the faith to feel that they can protect their religion in spite of such fanatical eruptions. A verbal disapproval by the Mussalmans of Mopla madness is no test of Mussalman friendship. (...)
...The Mussalmans must naturally feel the shame and humiliation of the Mopla conduct about forcible conversions and looting, and they must work away so silently and effectively that such a thing might become impossible even on the part of the most fanatical among them. (...)
Read what Clement of Alexandria writes around 200 AD.
He says, “There are those who have determined not only the year of our Lord's birth, but also the day; ...
... & they say that it took place in the 28th year of Augustus, & in the 25th day of (the Egyptian month) Pachon (May 20)... Further, others say that He was born on the 24th or 25th of Pharmuthi (April 20 or 21).”

2/n We are told that Babylonians & Egyptians were the first to deal with "Elements of ancient Geometry."
Then I came across the interesting work of A Seidenberg, called "Ritual origin of Geometry." jstor.org/stable/41133224
He says: Egypt & Babylonia learnt it from Hindus.
3/n While Seidenberg gives very logical case that how it is armature attempt to think that Egyptians & Babylonians learnt elements of Geometry without Sulvasutras, we are also made aware about how the RigVaidik tribes had migrated out to latter influence to the rest of the world.
