Hindu Unity - Links In ancient India, tribe was the basic political unit, and the kingdoms were usually small in size like the city- states of Rome and Athens, though the Rgveda also provides evidence of bigger states, which might have come into existence through conquest or confedracy. India is the fountain of paganism, which was the ascendant faith of mankind until the advent of the Semitic concept of monotheism. India is the fountain of civilisation, and this fact can be easily verified from the study of the Rgveda, which represents the Indian way of life simmering with a warrior's zest, love of adventure and appetite for learning. www.hinduunity.com /articles/islamexposed/indiademocracy.html   (12604 words)

Modern India Gazes in Wonder at Its Gaudy Past By CELIA W. NEW DELHI, Aug. 30 — The people of raucously democratic modern-day India got their first chance today to ogle the fabled jewels of His Exalted Highness, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the richest native prince from the bygone India of tiger hunts, palaces and feudal kingdoms. Like the Taj Mahal that sits serenely in the midst of the maddening, overcrowded cacophony of Agra, or the ancient bronze statues in the Madras Government Museum that are periodically plunged into darkness by power failures, the Nizams' jewels are treasures whose grandeur outshines their current setting. Their dominion stretched across the southern Deccan plateau for more than two centuries until 1948, when the princely state of Hyderabad merged with India the year after India gained its independence from the British. www.indiagov.org /US_Media/2001/aug/Modern%20India%20Gazes%20in%20Wonder%20at%20Its%20Gaudy%20Past.htm   (493 words)

Expansionist Party of the United States That means for England, which he proposes be divided into four states, that the three ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdoms provide the names for three of the new States. Without Expansionism, the United States would be just one of many mid-sized countries, incapable of absorbing tens of millions of immigrants, incapable of defending itself against great powers, incapable of projecting its culture and civilization worldwide. We of the Expansionist Party believe that if the United States doesn't grow, the problems around us will grow ever larger and ever worse, eventually to overwhelm us all and plunge the world into a New Dark Age, a dark age in which a dozen or more countries have nuclear weapons. members.aol.com /XPUS   (655 words)

Jesus in India Just as Jesus was tempted by the Devil with the riches and kingdoms of the world provided he prostrated himself to him, so was Buddha tempted when the Devil said to him that he would give him the pomp and splendour of kings if he abandoned the severity of his living and returned home. This has led the Jews to put in another plea -- that they killed Jesus by the sword, whereas the ancient history of the Jews does not show that Jesus was killed by the sword. These are the three kinds of Jehad permitted by the Shariat, and, apart from these three kinds, there is no other kind of war which is permitted by Islam for the propagation of the Faith. www.geocities.com /Athens/Delphi/1340/jesus_in_india.htm   (17420 words)
