{| style="border:2px ; background-color: #FFF7E6;"
What is it about the caste of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya that you do not accept any scriptures before 1947 as evidence. All the Puranas of India were written before the emperor's rule and many of them have been accepted by Misplaced Pages as evidence. Then why is Alfred Edward Robert's book Vishwakarma and his decadence written in 1904 hesitant to accept as evidence. All the books written in the modern era are meant to protect the systematic interests of the writers themselves. How can these become history. Misplaced Pages should not support such distorted histories. Most of the histories of India have been honestly written by the British who ruled India. A brother with the belief that Misplaced Pages will rewrite Adi Shankar's caste. ] (]) 14:52, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

:Strawberries and tea... I noticed your stance on the origins of Hinduism; that was uplifting. ] - ] 06:38, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
::Yeah, that’s why I was also extremely confused about why you two are fighting. Edasaf was the one who disrupted the Nanda Empire's religious narrative using your reasoning and speculative additions on another page. Edasaf also randomly attacked Chandragupta Maurya's religion. (The jealousy of the Bhim gang and neo-Buddhists toward Hinduism, Brahmanism, or the Vedic tradition is not hidden.)
::The problem is that you attacked the Maurya Empire, which is the only empire Indian Buddhists can somewhat properly relate to. Obviously, Edasaf was going to clash with you. Although the Maurya Empire, before the later years of Ashoka, had nothing to do with asceticism or non-violence. If Chandragupta had been a ascetic, there would have been no Ashoka or his edicts, and no spread of Buddhism. So, be glad that Chandragupta was not an extreme Jain ascetic and chose to take a wife.
::And don’t be overly uplifted by Edasaf's views on Hinduism. He is in your category, just Indian as well, so he will be offended if you attack the Maurya Empire. No true follower of vedic tradition would describe any stage of Hinduism’s evolution using a Christian missionary term. Leftists and communists interested in India will, but they are becoming increasingly irrelevant as the trend of leaders around the world shows. Soon academia will be free of Marxist interpretations. It will take time. You wont be there to see it, i might be. ] (]) 09:42, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
:::I hope for you it will be a world worth living in... Regarding {{tq|The problem is that you attacked the Maurya Empire}}, that's an enlightening comment; the perceptions of Chandragupta seem to be quite different. I found this book, ''Chandragupta Maurya: The creation of a national hero in India''; it seems to delve into the differences of perception you're pointing at. ] - ] 13:00, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
::::Hmmmm. I'll read it. In any case, I would not elevate anyone to hero status—no one is perfect. When even deities are flawed, humans stand no chance. Although there are many who are considered national heroes—Chandragupta, Ashoka, Samudragupta, Kanishka, Shivaji, Prithviraj, Rana Sanga, Veer Savarkar, Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Ambedkar etc.—even Rama, Hanuman, Buddha, Mahavira and Krishna are regarded as national heroes. There are probably countless others. If we want to counter India's national hero narratives, it will take generations. However, I understand why you detest any form of nationalistic tendencies. We can agree to disagree on many things, but I have come to the conclusion that continued hostility is not a solution.
::::So, I apologize to you for the many insults and harsh words I directed toward you. I hope you have a good day. ] (]) 15:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
