You are right Ksaz. But those wars in the Ramayan and Mahabharata are BCE. The slaughter of the Hindus and forced conversions happened in AD. This holocaust of the Hindus by various invaders supercedes that of the Jews.

Arrright, bhai. Whether BCE or AD, war is war to rass. Violence. Killing. Maiming. Raping. Bloodshed. So, indeed, before the invasion of India by Muslims from Afghanistan and Persia/Iran, Indian maharajahs were warring among themselves for turf. They failed to stave off the Mughals because they were disunited. The Mughal invaders sensed that division among the maharajahs quickly and exploited it, pitting one against the other. By the time the Hindus realized what had hit them it was too late to muster an effective united front. I think the various Hindu kings are to blame for the Muslims securing a formidable foothold on India.

There is a Qur'anic passage that ended with "......and be not divided among yourselves". This came to mind when I read Gilly's comments. This is what happens to everyone when there is disunity. The Muslims took advantage of the Indian disunity just as each Raj took advantage of others' disunity. Today there is so much disunity amongst Muslims and they don't seem to realize it will eventually completely destroy them.

Likewise, the residency of the British.

I don't disagree. 

I disagree, these are taking points of RACIST Hindu nationalist such as Modi.  I dont know that 200+ million Hindus were forced converts and still remain that way today.  

Modi = Trump today  the reason I protested this posting of an article by a fascist so called Muslim Reformer.

Why focus on 1000 year old problem when genocide is about to happen today and there is deafening silence from some.

Water buffalo meat should replace beef in India. It is a healthier meat and people will not get lynched.

you sound like Trump and his "both sides to blame".

 

Prashad eats beef in Western countries instead of water buffalo because of the cost but he also believe that when in Rome do as the Romans do. Beef in India is the same as pork in Arab countries that are eaten by Arab Christians. It just is not right when you have a better and cheaper alternative to eat.

So you are saying maybe they can eat wild pig in Arab countries if Muslims are allowed to eat wild buffalo in India? Oh rass!

India exports water buffalo meat to Burma. I am not an expert on Hinduism but I don't think that there is anything in Hindu scripture to ban water buffalo meat.

Then I dont think there should be an issue because they are almost identical.

is like me eating white fowl instead of black fowl.

Holy cow! India is the world's largest beef exporter

 
india beef exports

A country where cows are sacred is exporting a record amount of red meat.

India was the world's top beef exporter last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, widening its lead over other more established suppliers such as Brazil and Australia.

That's because India exports large quantities of meat from water buffalo -- a member of the bovine family classified as beef by the USDA.

The buffalo trade has been growing rapidly and now earns India more export dollars than basmati rice.

India's buffalo meat -- a chewier and cheaper alternative to beef -- mostly ends up on plates in Asia and the Middle East, where rising wealth is spurring demand among diners for animal protein.

But India's role in the global meat trade sticks out in the largely Hindu country where vegetarianism is widespread.

The cow is revered in Hindu culture, the religion observed by roughly 80% of India's 1.3 billion people, and restrictions on cattle slaughter apply in most states.

Buffaloes largely fall outside those bans.

Still, the $4.8 billion annual export trade has almost developed by accident -- the animals are needed to keep India's huge domestic dairy industry going, said Rabobank analyst Pawan Kumar.

This is unique among countries with large bovine exports, Kumar said. It also means buffalo meat from India is cheaper. That helped the country generate record export earnings from the beef last year, although growth is moderating from the 30% annual rate seen between 2010 to 2013.

Here's where it all goes: Vietnam is the top importer, with Malaysia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia other key markets.

Then there's China, which may actually be the largest consumer of the meat, according to Rabobank's Kumar. Some 40% of Indian buffalo is sent to Vietnam, before large quantities make their way across the Chinese border. That trade doesn't show up in official statistics.

A small amount is consumed in India. Many locals, including some Hindus and others in the Christian and Muslim populations, eat meat and poultry, and consumption is rising.

Data from market research firm Euromonitor International shows sales of beef, lamb and chicken in India have all increased steadily over the past six years.

Rising wealth is a big reason for the growth. Analyst Anastasia Alieva said India's disposable income has surged 95% since 2009, and meat consumption has nearly doubled over that time.

I think the cow products are different in Hinduism. Cow milk is used in religious services not water buffalo milk. Cow dung is used as fuel instead of wood. Cow dung is used as fertilizer. Cow milk has less fat than water buffalo milk. Water buffalo can be very moody animals. So there is a difference.
