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.”

1/n "India that is Bharat..."

Today what stands as the "Nation-State" is the root of great civilization of (or called) "Bharat".

If the places are mapped as in Mahabharata, it appeared as giant as this bordered by Persia & China.
2/n Any logical person would understand with such gigantic size came terrific diversity in form of geography, hence climate and hence Society.

What would be "right"in a region might be incorrect somewhere else.

Clothing & food can be a perfect eg to begin to understand nuances.
3/n Rightly so, it is observed by scholars that there were perhaps around a hundred Dharmaśāstras (History of the Dharmaśāstras Vol. 1, by PV Kane).

The constant thing among all was "Dharma" that bound the diversity of civilizations together without imposing own Smriti on other.

Nope! Gandhi also said:

"...brave God-fearing Moplas who were fighting for what they consider as religion and in a manner which they consider as religious..."

Read Ambedkar's documentation in his book "Pakistan or Partition of India."
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. (...)

1/n #Pagan roots of #Christmas Traditions.

Let's first talk about the #Santa’s Sleigh & the Wishes for Peace

Illustration: F.O.C. Darley (1822-1888).
2/n According to Germania of Tacitus (98 AD) , the goddess Herthum (Mother Earth) rides a sleigh type wagon pulled by yoked oxen.

Wherever she went, came the festivity & peace.

Read snippet from translation of Thomas Gordon
3/n Here is the painting of Herthum/ Nerthus done by Emil Doepler in 1905 AD.

With time Nerthus got replaced by Freya and Frigg, the two other Nordic Goddesses.

In my opinion Haridwar’s Conclave only has weakened Hindu Assertion.

I don’t question Intent, given the attack Hindu Community indeed has faced with time but this certainly isn’t the way you win battles.

We must learn from “Gandhi Assassination”.
You can’t be just another Owaisi to fight him.

You can’t threaten certain community only to gain few claps.

Intellectual destruction of Quranic thought is needed. You have no other way out, irrespective of if you like it or not.
The premise is clear. If you think that you can control the menace of Jihad by non-intellectual way, it is a gross mistake.

The brainwashing comes to a level that "Shahadat" is a tenet & they would come forward to fight you out.

Jesus wasn’t born on 25 December ie #Christmas

Some evidences in this thread:

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).”

They were confused.

The earliest of the so called "Christian" writers Irenaeus and Tertullian never mention anything like Christmas as to be in the list of feasts.

In fact, both Origen & Arnobius crit Pagans for celebrating birthdays.

1/n #WorldMathematicsDay

A thread on Bharat's contribution:

"I once heard, and I think it is true, that only one man in the world—some Indian mathematician—understood the mathematics of string theory in eleven-dimensional space, and he dreamed it." - Kary Mullis
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.
