Discussion may continue. No personal attacks please. No calling of names. No addressing of opponent as ' dumb, idiot, " for example. That will not be tolerated. Humour, Sarcasm for example , is allowed. Opinions may be criticized freely. That is expected. Ravi Chaudhary

This is exactly what we are trying to separate concepts, which get lost in translation. The Guru Granth Sahib, is a collection of various pieces of knowledge- the authors are many. The Gurus do not project themselves as Prophets, preaching a ' follow me or else" as the Abrahamic Religions do...

Let us see if this helps/ The discussion here is in English. The premise I have suggested is that Sanskrit/Hindi terms do not translate well into English. e.g. Dharm does NOT = Religion. It does not equate to Religion. Religion is an English term for the type of Religions that...

I am not able to help much here. I myself , am looking for lessons on how to ""appear""- ' most knowledgeable, considerate and benign', especially the first- "Knowledgeable". Once I can get pass marks in Knowledgeable, I will attempt the other two. Multi tasking or dealing with complex...

If I may humbly suggest, it is more than time our community moves away from such paradigms. Jats were late comers to the fields of Business, and the Professions. The free market is an unforgiving place, and has no room for the incompetent. That said, there are plenty of Jats in business...

Who says the battle even occurred? Do you have a source, better than the 13 th century composition of the story by Kufi ( Kufi composed his version circa 1216 CE).

Humble request. Please do not confuse the issue. You claimed that the Original Manuscript of the Chachnama dated circa 8th century was in Aligarh University . Either it existed or did not. Some accuracy must be there. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes. It is acknowledging...

Dr. Singh A 7th CE original manuscript of the Chachnama??? Perhaps you have made a Typo. These things do happen, Could you confirm?

No disrespect to anyone, but we will maintain two separate threads. So far any positive contribution by Islam has been drowned by the noise about its negative effects. This is an opportunity for all to provide data about the positive effects, in a thread started for that very purpose. Ravi...
