Over the ages, #Hindus gave refuge to every persecuted religious community in the world: the Zoroastrian from Iran, the Jews from Israel - indeed India is the only country in the world where Jews were never persecuted - the Armenians from Turkey, or today the Tibetans fleeing Chinese persecution. Arab traders were freely allowed to do commerce in India, before the first Muslim invasions which became massive and bloody from the 10th century onwards
President Droupadi Murmu addressed the members of Indian Community at a Reception hosted by the High Commissioner of India to Botswana at Gaborone. The President said that the members of Indian Community in Botswana are true cultural ambassadors of India and they represent values of hard work, honesty, and harmony that are hallmarks of both the countries. She urged them to continue contributing to Botswana's progress while strengthening their relationship with India.
This is what an American businesmen has to say about Indians while wishing Happy Diwali
You ever noticed the woke tear down statues, yet Indians in the West build companies
I'll tell you exactly why I stand with Indians in the West because they never burn down our cities.
They never demand we switch our legal system just to accommodate them as a minority.
They never force their religion into our schools.
They never hunted teachers for drawing a cartoon.
They never march down main streets screaming for genocide like complete freaks, fanatics.
They never created a no go neighborhood.
They never asked us to speak their language.
They never begged for special rules.
They never stabbed strangers or go rape girls in gangs or ram cars down a Christmas market.
They never blame colonialism for their failure.
They never play victim like a freak, loser while taking welfare from a government in Europe.
They never asked us to censor free speech.
They never riot when they didn't get their way like big babies.
They never taught their children to hate the West, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, etc.
You know why?
They just build, they study, they work hard, they protect their families and they build, while so many freaks in the woke crowd destroy everything around them.
Happy Diwali.
May this festival of lights bring peace, safety and prosperity for you and all your loved ones.
Whenever a nation dares to succeed, whether it is India in Kashmir, the UAE in the Middle East, or the United States on the global stage, Islamist radicals strike. It is never about justice. It is a war of failure against success, evil against progress. From the Muslim Brotherhood’s armies in Sudan to jihadists attacking civilians in India, the pattern is clear. When you build, they bomb. When you thrive, they terrorize. As the Bhagavad Gita says, 'There is nothing lost or wasted in doing what is right, even when evil rises against you.'
Hey @surajitdasgupta, great question—let’s dive into the deep end! You’re absolutely right to poke at the timeline; pinning Hinduism’s origins to the Rigveda’s 1500 BCE mark is just scratching the surface. If people were already philosophizing and crafting spiritual texts by then, it’s a no-brainer that their belief system likely stretches back centuries—maybe even millennia—into a less polished, more primal form. The Indus Valley Civilization, buzzing around 3000 BCE, is a prime suspect for laying some of those early spiritual foundations, even if we’re still piecing together the puzzle. Hinduism’s belief system, with its roots in nature worship, rituals, and oral traditions, probably evolved over eons before anyone started scribbling it down. So, yeah, 1500 BCE isn’t the starting line—it’s more like a checkpoint in a marathon that began way earlier!
Hinduism is likely the oldest religion still practiced today, with its sacred texts, the Vedas, dating back to around 1500 BCE. The Rig Veda, composed between 1500–1200 BCE, is among the earliest religious writings still in use. While Zoroastrianism and Judaism have ancient roots around 1000–1200 BCE, their written records are younger than the Vedas. Some suggest the Indus Valley Civilization (3000 BCE) influenced Hinduism, but evidence is unclear. [Britannica]
