No less than Narendra Modi, India’s erudite prime minister, had attributed the self-disparaging Indian character to its thousand years of slavery, that too on the floor of the Indian parliament. And it’s no wonder that Asaduddin Owaisi, the Islamist revivalist in the Indian remnant, promptly contested the said proposition. Needless to say, while Modi echoed the lament of the Hindu nationalists, albeit in a politically correct vocabulary, Owaisi sees the Muslim invasion of Hindustan through the prism of eight-hundred years of Islamic hukummat over the same. Whatever, a critical examination of India’s Islamic history, even the one dished out by its Muslim overlords, and an objective analysis of its socio-cultural construct therein would belie the supposition that Hindus were forced into slavery in any which way. No doubt, when the Islamic marauders eyed it for loot and rapine, India was long since the home to the Nalandas and the Takshasilas, the Ivys of yore, and it was also the world’s largest economy with some thirty-percent share of its gross domestic product. Thus, it’s as if India then was the crown of the creation, adorned with Hindu jewels, and that being the case, maybe the Hindus of that time were justified to feel top-of-the-world, like the Americans of the day do. So, that’s exactly what they felt like, and we have Aberuni’s testimony for that In his eponymous book on India of around 1030CE. “… the Hindus believe that there is no country but theirs, no nation like theirs, no kings like theirs, no religion like theirs, no science like theirs.” [more]

Whenever the word Hindu comes up for discussion, at the very outset, it is announced that the word has its origin in the word Sindhu, the Sanskrit term for the river Indus. That statement is taken for granted as an axiom and repeated by all. It is not seen in the public domain that anybody has ever raised any doubt on that explanation. The current explanation has gone ex silentio. Arguments may be put forward to expose many logical loopholes in the present explanation. This book tries to highlight the logical inconsistencies of the present explanation and at the same time tries to provide a more consistent alternative explanation of the origin of the word Hindu that has a traceable root to the core values of that way of life.

Im letzten Moment fliehen sie. Dann brennt ihr Dorf. Es geschieht, was der Hindu plant. Christen werden verprügelt, Kirchen brennen. Indien den Indern. Nationale und religiöse Interessen vermischen sich. Dann werden Tote gefunden, brutal ermordet. Inspektor Chidambaram und sein smarter Sekretär Babu ermitteln im Stammesgebiet entlang der Godavari. Überraschend schließt sich ihnen Kumari an, eine couragierte Christin und ehemalige Verlobte des Inspektors. Der Fall scheint zunächst klar - es geht um religiösen Fanatismus. Ein schillernder Swami heizt die Stimmung gegen Christen an, unterstützt von einem Journalisten. Dann detoniert ein Sprengsatz. Die Lage eskaliert. Was mit der Verfolgung religiöser Minderheiten beginnt, entpuppt sich als brisanter Politkrimi. Leserinnen und Leser dieses Kriminalromans werden nicht nur spannend unterhalten, sondern begegnen der zugleich faszinierenden wie fremden Welt Südindiens. Der Autor hat reale und aktuelle Themen des indischen Subkontinents aufgenommen: Religiöse Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Hindus und Christen, Bedrohung der Lebensräume von Ureinwohnern, Korruption und Vetternwirtschaft, Indien zwischen Tradition und Moderne. Was Sie hier lesen, ist ähnlich bereits geschehen und kann es jederzeit wieder. Nicht nur in Indien. [more]

The Hindu–Arabic numeral system[1] or Hindu numeral system[2] is a positional decimal numeral system, nowadays the most common symbolic representation of numbers in the world. It was invented between the 1st and 4th centuries by Indian mathematicians. The system was adopted, by Persian mathematicians (Al-Khwarizmi's c. 825 book On the Calculation with Hindu Numerals) and Arab mathematicians (Al-Kindi's c. 830 volumes On the Use of the Indian Numerals) by the 9th century. It later spread to the western world by the High Middle Ages. The system is based upon ten (originally nine) different glyphs. The symbols (glyphs) used to represent the system are in principle independent of the system itself. The glyphs in actual use are descended from Indian Brahmi numerals and have split into various typographical variants since the Middle Ages. [more]

It has been observed in the previous book titled ‘Origin of Hindu √ The Name’ that the dictum of going, moving forward became the central tenet of a huge number of human beings who essentially were the residents of India. Those people were termed as Hindu. Even when the root of that concept is logically proven, then also a question crops up and remains unanswered. Why did the act of going, moving forward become so important that a large number of people needed to accept it as the guiding principle of their lives? No tangible evidence has been found of any coercive actions on the part of the propagators of that way of life, not even in the folklores or in the legends. The adherence in all probability was voluntary and self-imposed. For that happening, two broad categories of influences may be credited to: physical and/or cerebral. The physical environment of the land in reference was set by the actions and interactions of the geological forces. Cerebral input must have come from some knowledge base. Structured and recorded knowledge base that is unique to India is found in the Vedas and its annotations. The period, during which the geological timeline shows that that land was becoming ready for human inhabitation, was the time around which the trace of the oldest literature of that land may be found. A little later, the world came to know about the existence of a human settlement in that land, which was more splendorous than anything known to the Greeks, who were the most advanced ones in the known world up to that time. This book finds the relationship between the geological formation of the Ganga Plain and the propagation of a new way of life that would be known as ‘Hindu’ religion in later time. It has been established that the word ‘Arya’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘the son of the Rishi’ and no large human movement that may be termed as invasion, migration etc. needed to be introduced to explain what have happened in that land duri [more]

Siddha Mohana Mitra Other names: S. M. Mitra Date of birth: 01 Jan 1856 Precise DOB unknown: Y Date of death: 01 Jan 1925 Precise date of death unknown: Y About: Siddha Mohana Mitra was born in 1856 and died in 1925. He was of Hindu-Bengali origin and had lived in Hyderabad for a number of years. Mitra had been editor of the Deccan Post. From the begining of the twentieth century, Mitra wrote a number of books, published in London, on India. He was a regular contributor to the Asiatic Quarterly Review. He was a member of the Royal Asiatic Society and met a number of high-ranking Anglo-Indian officials. His book, Indian Problems, cited by Lord Curzon in a House of Lords debate in 1912 revealed Mitra's argument that the partition of Bengal had not had a detrimental effect on the region. George Birdwood wrote an introduction to this book, and encouraged Mitra to publish his work of fiction, Hindupore.
