iconoclasm is fine. but your kind of schoolboyish iconoclasm is just plain annoying. every now and then one feels like twisting your ears. of course this is just a feeling--i would never act on it since i do not believe in corporal punishment.

i suggest we don't start doing silly name calling. otherwise it would quickly degenerate into a slugfest with people calling you names like shikhandi, etc. as i recall you dislike being called Shikhandi despite your reluctance to reveal whether you are male or female.

Good night to you too Natarajan ji. i realize that the absence of Luke ji and Seva ji on this forum is being felt keenly by you.

Wow! That is a good guess on my last name!

rashmun, like some character in a long forgotten sitcom once said "come on man....you're living in the past, man". who cares if akbar walked on three legs? most hindus dont consider mughal history as part of their history. they will always be seen as outsiders and ppl will always be against hindu-muslim synthesis as you see it.
