Bible

Gurus, charms and coronavirus

Now the believers claim that the French apothecary, astrologer and seer Michel de Nostradamus wrote in the year 1551: “There will be a twin year (2020) from which will arise a queen (Corona) who will come from the east (China) and who will spread a plague (virus) in the darkness of night on a country with seven hills (Italy) and will transform the Twilight of men into dust (death), to destroy and ruin the world. It will be the end of the world economy as you know it.”

A Look at Prophets

This review cannot do justice to Jhunjhunwala's thesis because no one reviewer is competent to examine the multiple aspects which call for intense specialisation. But let it be said that this book is more than a curiosity; it breaks spectacular new ground which is worth close examination by a community of experts... A review.

Hindu Secularism

The East has no native concept of the 'secular'. Whether Arabic, Persian or Urdu, there is no synonym for the word 'secular'. Islam is an all-embracing prescription for life, whether individual or collective, social or political, religious or otherwise. The question of separating any of them does not arise. In contrast, Christianity provided in the Bible itself that Hinduism has no need of separating anything from the State. It has no concept of the secular. For the simple reason that the Hindu State has never had anything to do with the priest or worship or temple.
