Re: Credit goes to an Indian.
OK. Maybe you did not mean it but it came out this way.
East India company was a British company. Not Indian. Not related to hindu or muslims.
You gave example of missiles which are named against India with the context of muslim warriors. So two opposite religions.
Giving example of missiles were wrong in two ways.
1- EIC was related to neither muslims nor hindus. A third party. An Indian hindu decided to make his company named after it.
2- But missiles are the issues between Pakistan and India with names after muslim warriors. It has been discussed before why Pakistan feels good for naming these missiles.
What is the excuse for this Indian?
P.S. I think I know why you used the word mutiny. :)
This post of yours made absolutely no sense to me even after reading it a couple of times. i still don't see where you're coming from but i'll try one last time.
What i'm saying about the topic is that it doesn't bother me at all that he names his company EIC, which was a good move on his part seeing the kind of publicity it got him.
Then I try to show our hypocrisy for being outraged about this. EIC and muslim conquerers both had something in common: they took over the local population by hook or by crook. We happily name stuff after the muslim wariors. I don't see the hindu specific connection you keep referring to. For your info, not all the conquerers attacked and sacked hindu kingdoms... most of them attacked muslim kingdoms already established in the subcontinent.
The excuse for this indian is that he wants publicity... what's your issue with him naming his company what he wants?
you think you know? of course you do caz you are god and know what's in my heart.
a pointer for you... what was the result of the so-called war of independence?
Re: Credit goes to an Indian.
What if someone names his company Holocaust Inc.?
Re: Credit goes to an Indian.
mirch uncle.. the war of 1857 was a mutiny and not a war of independence.
that's the way its portrayed in pakistani history classes because they like to teach myths more than history.
Is t a religious belief?
Re: Credit goes to an Indian.

First of all I am sorry that I have touched some Indian nerve by pointing out that a Company which was responsible for occupation of India by Britishers is being revived by an Indian.
In 1857 Hindus and Muslims both were mercilessly killed by EIC forces. Many died in the war and others were hanged in the town squares. I called both Hindu and Muslim freedom fighters who died as martyrs. I am not being sarcastic or condescending and if it came out this way I apologize.
Having said that , this guy earned 15 minutes of fame or free publicity. It is not worth at any price if this guy has even a shred of patriotism in his heart. If he has forgotten his roots and does not care about what EIC did in India during its reign then I have nothing against him. Whatever EIC did was both against Hindu and Muslims. It was not against Pakistan or India because there was no Pakistan at that time of EIC committing all those crimes.
