Thiru Indra,

It is certainly true that both the Gypsies and Bauddha Dharma originated in Bharatavarsha, and it is certainly good to see the Gypsies embracing their roots.

However, please keep in mind that they are converting to the Ambedkarite version of Buddhism. Ambedkarite Buddhists have a very definite anti-Hindu bias. More information about them can be found here (http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/books/wiah/ch11.htm).

Thank you very much TTCUSM, we can always count on you to bring the Islamic perspective on different issues to the forum. However, it is important to point out that the different sects such as Caucasianite, Amberdkrite, Africanite, Hinduite, Islamite, Semite, Moscovites, Beijingvites, all had widely different views and relations with the religions and races of their origin. It should come as no surprise even to a casual observer that the mother religion and race would have a lasting impact on the daughter religions. Take the example of Paki muslims. They may like to think that they invented Islam, but if you look at the top of any Paki's family tree, you would always find a Hindu at the apex. This is because they came from the Hindus. The Arabs only taught them parts of their faith, not everything. For that reason, they are looked down upon by the Saudis and other Arabs as inferior grade muslims. This must be distressing to a sect which hallucinates about being original but is indeed not even a good copy of the original. They will never be true muslims because underneath the thin veneer, they are Hindus. Their mannerism/lifestyle, their love for hindi movies, their marriage customs are all Hindu. How could pure people like ancient Hindus become true muslims? It just is not possible. It would be best for them to look at their family trees, observe the hindu name at the top of every family tree, and come back to their original faith. That will buy them peace of mind and spirituality which they have never known as islam has no spirituality in it. Of course this is all a personal opinion based on verified facts, but is not legally binding and should not be tried at home, only in a bona fide mandir. I would love to tabulate the results and share them with everyone, if all the paki Muslims took up yoga and meditationa and tried to connect with their roots, which lie in Hinduism, the original and ancient religion of the greater Bharatvarsha. With that practice it is not far fetched to think that some day pakis too would recite Vande Matram and sing the glories of Vishnu and Shiva.
