According to Jewish records, the so called 'black Jews' were slaves with 'filthy Hindu complexion' . They were originally drawn from native Hindu population. The 'black Jews' of Hindu descent were subjected to worst form of discrimination.
Buchanan visited Jewish settlements in 19th century
He noticed that
1) White Jews looked down upon black Jews as 'inferior race' as they had 'Hindu complexion'.
Moses Paiva was a Jewish leader.
According to him, the 'black Jews' (whom he calls Malabari) were 'slaves of slaves'.
They were mixed with Kanhanites ( A Jewish word for idol worshipers)
So bad was the discrimination that a black Jew slave of Hindu descent was not allowed to eat or pray with White Jew.
In 1843, a Black Jew had concealed his slave status in Kolkata. For this offense, he was punished with a fine.
Mind you, this was in 1843 when slavery was 'abolished'
White Jews considered themselves a 'great disgrace' to marry black Jews of Hindu descent
There was no brotherhood even in religion.
The Black Jews were not allowed in White Jewish synagogues. The White Jews refused to eat meat touched by Black Jews
Even in 1948, Black Jews were fighting for their rights.
A Black Jew named AB Salem threatened to fast to death.
But then the state of Israel was formed and almost every single Jew left India in a second to migrate to Israel.
You are factually incorrect. These verses were composed in the late world of classical antiquity and have nothing to do with the co called Babylonian captivity or wars against Philistines. And no context is justified here. Ancient Israel was full of idol worshipers. Where are they today?
Ancient Israel was inhabited by polytheists and Idol worshipers who worshiped Baal, Asherah, El etc. Where are those people today. Where are their temples?
They have all been genocided much before any babylonian captivity. Hebrew Bible talks about mass kiIIings of Baal priests. One can not use any excuses like "babylonian captivity" to justify Genocide.
The fact is that much of the verses you here will be found in ancient Hebrew Pentateuch much before any 'babylonian captivity. They are only rehashing their cultural wisdom.
The fact is that you cannot bait Islam constantly without considering source of Abrahamic ideology. And that source is right here.
When Alexander came to the land where Brahmins lived (probably somewhere in Kashmir), Brahmins wrote him a letter. They said 'O king, why do you come to the land of sages? If you come here looking for wealth, you are sorely lacking in wisdom, for we have no wealth. We have only knowledge and patience. This knowledge cannot be taken away from us. You will see nothing here except a troop of naked ascetics. If you stay here for long, you will have to live off seeds of herbs like us.
Alexander saw their bodies were weak and unprovided for, but their souls were filled with fruits of wisdom.
Alexander asked them-"why do you not possess food and clothes?"
Brahmins answered-"We have small need of food and clothes. A man is born naked from his mother and returns naked to the earth, it is wrong for him to fuss about what he should wear. Every place is
a place of fear, despair, and terror. The earth is our mattress, the sky our covering, and we watch the road for death to come. An ambitious man struggles to gain something that is not worth the effort he has put forth, and then he passes from the world while his gold and treasure and crown remain here. Only his good deeds will accompany him, and his head and glory will both return to dust.
Alexander was impressed. He asked them “What do you need that I can provide? I will not hesitate to give you my wealth, or to undergo suffering for you.”
The Brahmins answered, “Great king, close the door of death and old age for us.”
Alexander answered, “But death and old age cannot be undone”
The Brahmins answered, “Wise and puissant king, since you know that there is no recourse against death, and that there is no disaster worse than old age, why do you long for the world in this way, why do you breathe in the scent of this poisonous flower so eagerly? All you will receive is suffering, while your enemies will inherit the wealth you acquire; to make oneself suffer for another’s profit is the act of an ignorant man or a fool. White hairs are a message from death, and what makes you hope that you can stay in the world?”
When Alexander heard these words, his face turned pale as fenugreek; his cheeks became sallow, his eyes filled with tears, and furrows filled his once-smiling face.
Alexander offered them many gifts, but they did not take anything from him. He did no harm to that place and set off toward the west.
This person claims that Bhojashala is 'biggest fraud of Indian history'.
She further claims that 'Bhojashala' was coined only 70 years ago. That it had never existed before.
That there is no inscription or text predating 20th century that mentions any Sarasvati temple or Bhojashala at Dhar.
Is this really true?
This thread does a Fact Check
The first text I cite is Prabhavakacarita. This text was composed by Prabhācandra in 1277.
It describes an incident which occurred around the year 1140.
The Chalukya king Siddharaja Jayasimha attacked Dharanagara (Dhar). There, he met a group of students studying in what the text calls 'Bhoja's Pathashala'
This is an extract from Page 156 of Prabhavakacarita.
There is a rather elaborate description of Bhojashala.
The text says this school/university taught the grammar established by Bhoja himself (तत्र व्याकरणं श्रीमद् भोजराजविनिर्मितम्)
It must be remembered that the great Paramara king Bhoja wrote a treatise on Sanskrit grammar named Sarasvatīkaṇṭhābharaṇa
In this myth, Americans are the Good 'empathic' angels. Nazis are bad demons. American angels had nothing to do with Nazi demons. America fought the good war and vanquished evil. But they still did not bomb their enemies.
However, there is no truth in the myth as we shall see in this thread.
This American national myth hides a very dark reality.
The reality is that Hitler was funded by US multinational corporations. Americans gave Hitler the weapons, tools and oil he needed to wage world war and carry out a holocaust.
American government tacitly approved their support. Americans were thus complicit in Hitler's crimes.
Germany did not have enough oil reserves to carry out a large scale military invasion.
Who provided Hitler the much needed oil for his tanks and war machines?
Yes, It was US which provided much needed oil to Hitler in the world war II. This helped him secure victories in France and Poland.
Vedukkunari Malai is an ancient Shaivite Shrine that once drew pilgrims from India. Hindus have worshiped at the hill for thousands of years. It is also mentioned in Tamil Nayanar literature.
The Lankan Government wants to take over the hill and throw out Hindus. This is done at the behest of Simhalese nationalists .
Simhalese Buddhist monks warn Tamil Hindu diaspora:
In your article, you conflated Holi with a Persian festival that Mughals celebrated: Eid-I-Gulabi or Ab-e-Pashi.
This festival had NOTHING to do with Holi.
This was originally a Zoroastrian rain festival dedicated to Zoroastrian rain deity Tishtrya (Tir) celebrated by Persians. Muslims appropriated this festival and rededicated it to Khawaja Khizr. Unlike Holi, It was celebrated in the rainy month of Tir (June-July).
In your article, you claim that Muslims celebrated Holi.
Here is how they really celebrated it.
1757: Abdali's son played Holi in Mathura . With Hindu blood.
He ordered a massacre of Hindus. Streets were drowned in rivulets of blood. Hindu Murtis were broken and trampled.
Sadhus and cows were killεd.
Severed heads were put up on display.
Chittor 1567- 1568: Akbar ordered general massacre of Hindus in Chittor on the day of Holi. Around 30,000 men and women were killεd. Entire town was sacked and put to sword.
