[ We have a copy of Manusmriti down here also. We have also received another version of it from some Indian people which we think is a revised one. The Civil Code of Nepal
Sri Lanka has been termed by some reporters, as one of the sinister places in the world. ( Please click here, scroll down the page and watch the videos). Yes, Manusmriti can’t be found in every household because it has not been translated into vernacular languages like The Ramayan, The Mahabharat, Shri Madbhagvat Gita etc. ]

The Himalayan Voice,
Here are a few comments on your writing. I agree and disagree with you as per the cases.
It does not matter if Taliban are students or teachers, or for that matter what they believe. However, their use of violence to impose their views and destroying democracy matters. The same applies with Nepalese Maoists also. We should concentrate on ‘what is’, not ‘what could be, would be, may be.’ Taliban exists, Hindu Taliban does not.
Yes, Indian myopic policy of using Maoists in Nepal Nepal India
Actually there is socio-political impetus for groups like LTTE, not for Nepalese Maoists. After the independence of Shri Lanka, the Sinhalese leaders persuaded the policy of excluding Tamils. In case of Nepal India
There is no progressive or any other kind of interpretation of Quran. It is the biggest Sin in Islam to change or make your own interpretation of the Quranic injunctions. There are a few individual Muslims who like to sugar coat Quran even at risk of being apostate, but they really do not count.
You do not make any sense mentioning Huntington
By the way, Manusmriti is not social code, much less a Dharmic code. The often repeated quote – ‘Bahuns from head, Chhetri from hand … ‘ is not the code to follow but the anthropomorphism of the then society.
You may call President Yadav or Obama as ‘Head’ of Nepal Ganga as Mother Goddess, simply because the whole population and civilization rose around the water and top soil provided by her. Otherwise, by the time British occupied Indian, Hindu legal code has progressed to Dayabhag and Mitakchhara schools.
If you go to Hindu household, you may find Ramayana or Gita, but not Manusmriti. Have you read Manusmriti in full? As a matter of fact, British policy of divide and rule, not the Indians themselves, gave importance to it. Otherwise, do you know any place of time in the history of India
Obviously you have problem posting truth about Islam and Maoists, but not half-truth about Dharma.
Tilak Shrestha, Ph.D.

Taliban in Pashto means STUDENT which has now become an extremist (terrorist) movement. A Hindu group says 'Hindu Taliban' may come into existence !?! Any terrorizing Taliban is NO good.
How would you say we haven't posted anything on Taliban or Pakistan
Does Pakistan Sponsor Terrorism As Some Indians Put Blame On It ? We agree with you that the Bamiyan destruction and beheading of 12 Nepalese in Iraq
We had already told you India
The LITTE Chief Pravakaran terrorized Sri Lanka
But neither Pakistan Afghanistan
Irshad Manji has, as she says, a progressive translation of the Quran whereas Mr. Zakaria, one of Harvard’s products, has an undermining tone against Hinduism in his book although it is brilliantly written.
We read the stuff you forwarded below. They can't be posted. The same thing is everywhere. Here is what had been discussed more than 4 years ago on Hinduism, particularly on the Manusmriti
The posted article comes from some other source. We have posted related links also, meaning that we do not endorse what has been published but wish to discuss.
Thanks,

No, you are wrong. The issues you post in your website defines you. Since you did not write any thing and yours is a web site, it means you endorse it, especially when there is no context to it. Exactly where is Hindu Taliban or why is it relevant? Is not it funny that there is absolutely no posting in your web site about the real Taliban, but you post non-existing 'Hindu Taliban.' You have not posted any on beheading Nepalese laborers or destroying Bamiyan Buddha by Islamic terrorists. Have you?

Please do post two of the attached articles relevant to the issue you are raising.

We are not wrong. You seem to be wrong here.
We just wanted to tell how a highly accomplished general can write such a stuff which simply can not hold the ground. We also wanted to tell that the Islamic society is so badly backward. Only that one Irshad Manji [ a Prof. Columbia University and Yale (?) also. She says she has translated Quran in 'progressive fashion'] or Farid Zakaria and few others' efforts remain futile until some Harun Yaya and another Dr. Zakir Naik out there keep on writing and preaching rentlessly.
Sometime ago, one Islamic cleric publicly told to 'resist' in a program organized by the Mayor of
These people must tell their community to change.
Thank you,

No, you are wrong. Taliban means a group of terrorist trying to impose their political view by force. In case of Pakistan\Afghanistan Taliban, it is the Islamic Sharia. There is no Hindu code or constitution, let alone any group trying to enforce. There are a few Hindus or groups who are reacting against Islamic terrorism and Government's policy of appeasing rather than fighting back. They are apples and oranges. If Muslims destroy thousands of Hindu temples and a few Hindus react back, can you put both cases in par? That is total nonsense. What if US government tried to appease Al Quida after 9/11, and a few hot headed Americans fight back. Will you call them Christian Taliban or American Taliban?
If you run a business of thinking on policies at least you need to know facts and proportionality. How about two articles on - beheading of poor Nepalese laborers by Islamic terrorists, and destruction of Bamiyan Buddha? By the way, please do not forget to publish the well balanced and factual articles attached here again.
Sincerely,
Tilak Shrestha, Ph.D.

Well, we just wanted to show how a brigadier general can write such a stuff in the name of nationalism ? We just wanted to tell the people to debate such views.
We have posted a comment from Hindu Media Monitoring. The comment, we found is very balanced.
Thanks,

If India is not a terrorist country, why are you publishing this stuff? There are thousands of articles published in the world. If you choose such a stuff and republish, does not it tell on your intelligence or lack of it? The article is from 'PakTribune' where foaming Islamist blame every thing on
Presently
Yes, we like to know what is going on there or

We agree,
Why is it ridiculous ? It is a published material. We do not endorse any writer's opinion. We are NOT that cheap as you have stated below. We have no fear to publish materials which might annoy some and please others as well.
This is an independent blog. Everyone' view is published. Furthermore, we are NOT biased ones. We have already received positive comments the post. So, no one can dictate what we should post or not. We accept comments and post also.
Thanks,

This is most ridiculous article I have read. You should not dignify such article by re-producing it. It merely makes your office cheap.
