Buddhism or any other religion with origin in India had coexisted through centuries with Hinduism.Originally Posted by Backwards Observer
Well, from what little I know of the subject, Buddhism presented a direct challenge to the dominant traditions of Hinduism. The response by Hinduism was to more or less absorb Buddhism, mainly through the designation of the Buddha as the twenty-fourth avatar of Vishnu.
Not essentially a topic of insurgency, just something I was curious about and I thought you might have an insight. Thanks for your reply.
Now back to your regular schedule of Western media angst and Sinophobic China-bashing!
Do start a thread on India and its history instead of mixing issues, unless you have some good reason or agenda behind it!
I am sure if you do, someone who is more conversant with the same would enlighten you.
One does not have to bash China. One would feel that it is but self flagellation that they do. Or else why claim half the world as yours i.e. China's?
BTW it might bring joy. Hu has told China to rapidly modernise their navy and be prepared for warfare.
This has been reported by a Sydney newspaper.
You being in Australia can check that out!
Don't worry about the Indo US equation. Last heard is that is a 'strategic relationship'! Take it for what it is worth!
I apologise that I do not have unique expertise of stating issues in a round about way, wherein is what is to be said is said, and yet it is not said so clearly.
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
Sun Tzu
I do admire the Chinese and those who can emulate them.
Hopefully one day I will learn how not to be colourful or vibrant as so succinctly put by you!
