Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Has anyone looked at what wikipedia is saying about the history of ayurveda? it's said under the ayurveda entry that Brahmins tried to remain in power by suppressing medicine in the form of ayurveda and creating superstitious rituals around it, as well as naming diseases after gods. I would have thought that this entry would have been protested, or labelled as controversial, as there are many such entries in wikipedia, but it seems to have gone unnoticed.

Sephiroth Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I noticed many of the references comes from USA (Wisconsin). I wonder if they have proper authority to say such things. Anyway, don't worry about it. It is useless to worry on what some Westerners (Yes, even secular Hindus from West are Westerners) say about India's heritage.

Jahnava Nitai Das Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Wikipedia is a free for all where anyone can say anything. When it comes to topics that are rarely read, some of these things will go unnoticed and unchanged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must not judge a person's opinion from the geographical region s/he chances to post from. Truth has no regional affiliation. Wikipedia, as has been pointed out, is a free-access site where anyone may contribute. If you wish to correct an inaccuracy or clarify an issue in one of Wiki's articles I'm sure the administrators would be most appreciative.

Jahnava Nitai Das Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I had a look at wikipedia recently and was surprised that anyone can post anything and it is immediately live online with the edit. I am surprised it is as orderly as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiritualism has a branch in Science also and one of the branches of Science is Biology. According to Biology, Man are NOT born as equals. So, when God gave Man religion, He remembers that it was He who spread the people across the globe, gave religions according to the places where they had settled down and told them to search out and relearn about one another (which India failed to do for the past 50 years by locking itself away from other Asian neighhbours and rely solely on Westerners). So, truth (in Religion) IS based on Regional Affiliation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
