You wanted to talk about the Mughal empire.

That's like talking about pre Christian Europe.

Sure it's the same place, but culturally, politically and socially they are not alike.

For example your argument on government institutions failing does not take in to account factors such as the buildup of popular opposition to the government. It just states that a+b=c.

So it could be that the cultural impositions imposed upon the population were opposed and only welcomed by certain types of people such as those inclined to be in politics, and over time, this opposition reached a critical mass.

Or it could be that the structure of the government was wrong.

But then you are failing to account for factors such as lack of things such as education, telegraph, electricity, employment which affect populations especially in the present day. Things which are especially relevant to administering a government and affecting social perspectives.

You are just doing a+b=c.

Yet the Mughals were able to establish a centralised authority over much of the Indian subcontinent. Empires transcend culture and religion. The mechanism of empire-building is a force too great for culture or religion.

And yet there has been Sharia law for thousands of years, and the British Royal family as head of the Anglican Church since its inception, dating back to when the Church was the state.

Your arguments are faulty.

What happened to all those tinted child marriages, Gordon? Your last one in Sydney was 5 years ago, yes? At the last count, the score was 2, no?

At least they're not living in sin, dear.

Ban them.

Islam was established in the 7th century - not even two-thousand years ago.

Imagine if they were allowed to eat cows.....

They would have had organised agriculture, no malnutrition and no God animals walking around, defecating in water sources, destroying pastures, blocking roads, and overgrazing.

Instead, they are Hindus...

And because of this their country and society is ruined.

You can easily look to rural China for proof that the Indian culture is defective.

China has a greater population and also has hundreds of millions of people living in severe poverty outside of the major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. They haven't got plumbing or electricity.

Yet, they aren't in slums and they aren't starving to death and they have dams for water supply. Indians believe the Ganges river is holy and you can't divert it or dam it, just dump the bodies of your dead relatives in it in order to send them to reincarnation. And spread disease.

I wonder if the Indians at the top of the caste system secretly eat beef. It fits with their culture of thriftiness. It fits with their smug and smarmy "you get what you deserve, not what you earn, based on your caste". Hoarding all the food for themselves and letting others starve because karma will fix it later.

Imaging if their culture had salvation through works, not through faith. And cows werent God. And the Ganges was just a river.

They would probably be a much less sh1ttier country with a much less sh1ttier attitude and cultural outlook.

Good post. India just has too many gods and hangups.

You went to Delhi once, Gordon. You had a chicken biriyani in Yangon. You pashed that Boong on the bus to Dubbo (you didn't finger her). You nearly married a Persian princess (although she wasn't really a princess, you just called her that).

So I'm curious. As a man of the world, why do you agree with dumb posts like that?

You flew there. Spatchcock didn't even do that.

I tend to agree, Spatchcock. The reason all those bulls are walking in the traffic eating garbage in India is an economic policy: the Green Revolution, started by Nehru in the 1960s to modernise agriculture.

Yes, Hindus don't eat beef, but they do drink milk. Hence, bulls are left to their own devices, many of them dying from eating plastic in the street.

Prior to agricultural reform - phosphates, pesticides, tractors, etc - bulls pulled ploughs. Cows were milked and looked after the calves, bulls did the work.

Today in India, one beast highlights the huge gender divide brought on by modernity: the homeless Brahmin bull.

No one wants to kill him, but no one really cares for him either. Imagine, generations of bulls left totally outside the new economy. Culture?

It's existential. Your bull, you see, no longer has a function. We need cows for milk, but bulls? We now have tractors.

And how sad is that?
