Thanks so much for the lovely comment, dancingheart...I feel SO much the same way. Kolkata certainly has a way of grabbing hold and not letting go - have been there 4 times now, and God willing, I will be again. Thank you again, glad that you enjoyed it. Shelley

I liked ballet...

Lol ! you do dance like an Indian girl ! your expression too, a little bit. It is possible in a past life you were in kolkata, but that was when it was a Rich and vibrant city with no poverty, i.e. before the british came and began to levy the highest taxes the world have ever experienced. People began to live on the streets and die there too.

That was how evil the british was - there slogan was: " we will england into India and India into england."

max muller, and many western scholars gained form Indian culture and religion, but instead of telling the truth, they supressed for the image of western christianity etc.

Geroge Bernard Shaw, rubard kipling, max muller and many western scholoars benefited greatly from Hindu culture - but did NOT have the honesty and truth to let the truth be known - they were told to supress so that the Leaders of england etc. can suck India of its wealth !

No other people can so false.

What do you know about Indian and HIndu philosophy, or culture or religions, or history ? perhaps absolutely Nothing !

I can assure you that the culture, history, religions and philosphy, notwithstanding the food you enjoy, is by far richer than Any western history or religion. But you go thowing your weights around for conversion - you end up doing more Harm than good !

But with your Western egos and Ignorance - how can you see ?

[edpinkgurl]

@dharma099 You didn't even understand my point ... I'm not saying that converting people is right... I'm just saying that if someone believes it with all their heart that someone is going to hell wouldn't they want to tell people how to avoid hell. YOu honestly just took my point and didn't even read it you just let your judgements go without getting the point. I never said christianity was right I just said that coming from Christian perspective why they believe that.

@edpinkgurl

the british and christians had already put Rich Calcutta prior to the 20th century to Hell ! they brought rape, High taxation the world had never experienced even today.

the butchered, stole, etc.

So you want to put a drop when christians and british took barrels and tanks of happiness aways from these people ? you are the biggest hypocrites in the History of this Planet !

Same with Native Red Indians - christians schools filled with sexual abuses, rape, extreme phy
