The comment is not about some religion.

History by its very nature is tinged with the perceptions of the recorder, even if the person is being most objective. I have no objections to people reinterpreting events, just as long as they do not deliberately shield people from the fact that the event took place.

I wonder from where do people find time to make such useless comments on other religions. I mean…what is the point?

Yes! your sentence truly epitomises the New India we are seeing

The subject was Foundation Course (Commerce). There was a chapter on the plight of women in India. It read that the Indian woman had a powerful position in the family. Women had a lot of freedom, and even exercised decision-making powers. Around the 10th-11th century, India was invaded by rulers from western Asia, and things changed. Perhaps similar material can be found on the web.

I think it might be “politically incorrect” to make statements like that in public, but one cannot be sure that it is false.

Your post reminded me of how angry I was when the govt. wanted any mention of beef-eating to be removed from history textbooks. I hate it when people rewrite history to suit themselves and present the revised version as the whole truth, without indicating the other interpretations or points of view. Readers deserve better than that.
