    Do's and Dont's of History & Culture Section

    As all of you are aware, History & Culture Section was started in the new Hub on a trial basis and we promised that whether it will continue or not depended entirely on the Hubbers.

    Unfortunately, it became a free-for-all with name calling and bashing started to rear its ugly head again, thus the temporary disabling of this section.

    We would like to reiterate that the precise reason of a discussion board is to examine different point of views and we will not stop anyone from putting forth their opinion, with basis and in a respectful manner.

    However, certain points need to be reiterated clearly, with the reopening of this section:

    1. Discussions on religion is definitely out. No more "one form is superior to another" or "one culture preceding all others," etc.
    Please, no more of mother-of-all-religions or only-way-to-salvation discussions.

    2. All forms of references to castes will not be tolerated and will be deleted, without ado.

    3. Discussions on Aryan invasion theory including Dravidianism, are also out.

    4. All languages are important and contribute to human progress. So no more language superiority issues either. Academic discussions are acceptable, provided they are not taken too far to the personal level and disparaging comments made.


    To maintain a clean forum, we reserve the right to delete any postings or threads that run in contrary to these requirements. Besides the above, new regulations may be added as and when the need arises.

    For the moment we have disabled the opening of new threads, until such a time, when we get comfortable with the knd of discussions carried on in the current threads.
    However, if there is any subject that you wish to discuss, you may state in this thread.

    As mentioned earlier, this Indian History and Culture Section is being opened on a trial basis and whether it is continued or not, will depend on how clean, discussions are being held. So the future of this section is really in your hands now.

    Please help us in keeping The Hub a good place for mature and intelligent discussions.
    Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!
