OUR PRIDE Hindu culture and heritage

How do foreign scholars see our culture?

• Mark Twin, “Indian culture is priceless.”

• Albert Don, “India is a teacher of the world’s civilization.”

• Ard Lod, “India is the mother of all major cultures that hold healthy spots in the world today.”

• The list is endless……

Atrocities and envy faced by brave Hindus

• Mohammad bin Kasme – beheaded 16,000 Hindus

• Mohammad Gori – burnt 400 kilos of Janoi (threads) after beheading Brahmins.

• Aurang Zeb – Pick 1: Koran or sword on the neck

Why did Hindus accept death and not defeat (loss of culture)?

• Uphold Scriptures and Belief of the Almighty

• Knowledge of Avatars and great saints
