Ashoka was a BUDDHIST when he waged Kalinga war. Truth

-
When Ashoka became Buddhist: 4th year of his rule.


When he invaded Kalinga: 8th year.

Ashoka was a BUDDHIST when he waged the Kalinga war.

After the war, he killεd 18,000 Non-Buddhists who allegedly "insulted Buddhism".

Whom do they finally blame? Yes, Hindus and Hinduism
Yes, the great Buddhist emperor Ashoka killɛd 18,000 Ajivikas & Jains because a Nirgrantha Jain of Pundravardhana (Bengal) named Jnatiputra drew a picture of Buddha prostrating at the feet of Mahavira.

Worse, this information comes from a Buddhist source.
Those asking for sources should read Mahavamsa, Ashoka's pillar edicts and Divyavadana. The information given out by me in this thread comes from these sources.

Varna-sankara and Inter Caste Marriage.

Varna-Sankara and Inter Caste Marriage. Many people use this term without understanding its meaning, in this thread, I will try to explain what is Varna-Sankara and is it related to Inter Caste marriages. First, let's look at Manusmriti - Those born out of "Adultery", among "Same varna" or different Varna, those born out of "incest", or those born to people who have neglected their duties Are called "Varnasankaras" Manusmriti(10.24) See Medhatithi's comment- So according to this if a Brahmin does not perform the duties of a Brahmin then children born to them are also Varnasankaras. This also proves that Varna is indeed karma/quality-based and not Birth based because neglecting the duty of own Varna also makes children born to them as Varnasankaras. But how is it related to inter-caste marriage? In today's times "Caste" just represents a Varna system that got rigid with time, these Castes do not represent real Varnas which ar

UNBELIEVABLE CULTURAL APPROPRIATION | CULTURE DIGESTION

Cultural appropriation is ubiquitous in India, especially in southern states with its full potential. Christian missionaries are converting Hindus, malevolently, by subterfuge! This thread details few cunning moves by the Christians in Kerala and in other neighboring states. 1. In Kerala, the Bible is called "Sathya Veda pusthakan" means True Vedic textbook! It is quite unbecoming that the bible, the new testament, became a Vedic textbook during the the course of time😳. In the forthcoming sections, I will show various customs followed in our Hindu temples are copied by, just, replacing the Hindu symbols with the corresponding ones in Xtianity! The left panel is for Hindu customs and the right one is for the Xerox! 2. We have our "Bhagavad Geetha". Now copycats have "Kristu Bhagavad Geetha" written by D. Babu Paul. We have "Shri Maha Bhaagavatham" - known as Bhagavatha Maha Purana, which is one of our 18 great Puranas. They have "Kris

This book is a collection of Dr. Pandya's experiences with various kinds of patients and the difficulties government doctors often face in order to treat a patient. In this book, there are emotional roller roaster real incidences short stories. but there is a happy ending also. Some of my favorites dialogues from these stories are below. "Paisa to kabhi bhi aa jayega saahab, ladki nahi aayegi wapis" "Sir, you are discharging that patients against his will." "Justice, Justice and Justice, I want it". "Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and don't mess with the pancreas.  Provoked Pancreas = Poking tiger with a stick" I want to ask Dr. Pandya what had happened after he found out his wife is three months pregnant? There is also an interesting story about the cover page in this book. What happens when a penniless cook lands up at your doorstep with an infection in his leg? How would you feel if your actions led to someone from your profes

Sanskrit fever grips Germany: 14 universities teaching India's ancient language struggle to meet demand as students clamour for courses. - DailyMail,2015 According to a list of institutes offering Sanskrit made available at the University of Iowa in the US, many institutions in the US and Europe offer Sanskrit studies. Will Germans be the eventual custodians of Sanskrit, its rich heritage and culture? If the demand for Sanskrit and Indology courses in Germany is any indication, that’s what the future looks like. Unable to cope with the flood of applications from around the world, the South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, had to start a summer school in spoken Sanskrit in Switzerland, Italy, and - believe it or not - India too. “When we started it 15 years ago, we were almost ready to shut it after a couple of years. Instead, we had to increase strength and take the course to other European countries,” said Professor Dr. Axel Michaels, head of Classical Indology at the uni

why Karna from Mahabharata was denied education and had so many curses? Bust a Myth

-

It is a MYTH that Karṇa was denied an education. The original Mahābhārata clearly says Karṇa was a pupil of Droṇa along with Pāṇḍavas & Kauravas.   It also says that as a pupil, Karṇa defied Arjuna out of Jealousy. That Arjuna became the foremost of Drona's pupils in archery Those asking me for "source" must read the Vyāsa Mahābhārata (Ādi Parva 1.142) instead of relying on TV serials and neo-folklore. Karna was of course a great warrior and nobody can deny it. In Mahabharata, Krishna himself praises Karna's bravery several times (especially in the beginning of Karna Parva). However, that doesn't mean he wasn't without faults. He is a complex character   Source:  It is a MYTH that Karṇa was denied education.
