The BJP/RSS Hindus (or at least their leaders) are a thoroughly muddled,
frustrated lot.
From time to time, they issue wild statements proclaiming their glorious
past history. As they make no claim to possessing any scholarship (in the
western sense), some leader or godman feels free to make all sorts of claims
without providing any evidence.
An earlier issue of the ‘Vishwa Hindu’ refers to the global spread of Hindus
in bygone times. Here are some of the great pieces of misinformation
published:
- Jerusalem was actually Yedushalyam, temple of the lord of the Yadavas;
- The Al-Aqsa mosque was originally a Krishna temple;
- The St.Paul’s cathedral was likewise a Gopal Krishna temple;
- The Notre Dame church was initially a temple dedicated to Devi
Bhagwati/Parvati/Bhawani;
- Paris was at first Parimeshwariyam, later Parisorium under the Romans and
finally Paris;
- The river Seine was actually the Sindhu; and
- Nearer home, as is well known, Taj Mahal was really Tejo Mahalay, a Shiva
temple.
And so on and so forth. The journal then lament how Hindus have suffered
unimaginable regression and defeat:
“In pre-Christian times all people, everywhere, in the entire world were
Hindus.”

Given this primitive mindset, the BJP/RSS babus should not wonder why the
rest of the world regard them with pity & contempt.
