INDIAN HISTORY ~ REAL TRUTH HINDU-KUSH ('Kushtar' - to slaughter or carnage) .. Encyclopaedia Americana says of Hindu Kush: "The name means literally 'Kills the Hindu', In Persian, the word 'Kush' is derived from the verb 'Kushtar' - to slaughter or carnage. Encyclopaedia Americana says of Hindu Kush: "The name means literally 'Kills the Hindu', a reminder of the days when Hindu slaves from Indian subcontinent died in harsh Afghan mountains while being transported to Moslem courts of Central Asia." Encyclopaedia Britannica on its part mentions "that the name Hindu Kush first appears in 1333 AD in the writings of Ibn Battutah, the medieval Berber traveller, who said the name meant 'Hindu Killer', a meaning still given by Afghan mountain dwellers". Afghan historian Khondamir notes that during one of the many repeated invasions on the city of Herat in western Afghanistan, which used to be part of the Hindu Shahiya kingdoms, "1,500,000 residents perished". "Thus," writes Vyas, "it is evident that the mountain range was named as Hindu Kush as a reminder to the future Hindu generations of the slaughter and slavery of Hindus during the Muslim conquests." meme

Happy Birthday, Spinoza (24 November 1632 – 21 February 1677) .... "Nature does not work with an end in view. For the eternal and infinite Being, which we call God or Nature, acts by the same necessity as that whereby it exists ... Therefore, as it does not exist for the sake of an end, so neither does it act for the sake of an end; of its existence and of its action there is neither origin nor end." ~ Baruch Spinoza Baruch/Benedict Spinoza was born on November 24th, 1632, and is remembered as a precursor to the Enlightenment period. A Dutch Jew, he suffered a form of excommunication, and having his books banned by the Catholic church, due to his ideas. These included the expression of a form of Pantheism (though discussions over wording have led some to believe him closer to Panentheism). Revering the Universe. Caring for Nature. Celebrating Life.
