Before he took up arms, Banda was a saint. He took up arms only 
to protect religious freedom of fellow Indians. So in a way he 
asked for it. But had he (and many others) not done that, much of 
India would have been like Iraq and Syria of today.

A few decades before Banda's sacrifice is the sacrifice of Bhai 
Matidas and Bhai Satidas (just for example -- there are 
innumerable more). They were not even warriors. But since they 
refused conversion, in full public view, one was enveloped in 
cotton and put to fire, and the other framed in wooden planks and 
sawed vertically thus splitting his body in two.

An estimate says that India lost 90 million lives in the last 
1000 years fighting this insane idea of religious superiority 
that many followers of this cult carry.

This is my last post on this forum on this topic. I am sorry to 
have breached the sanctity of a technical forum in this way.
