Re: Chamars are from black slaved people of Egypt. [Re: Americanhindu] #29135 - 04/24/03 08:10 AM Edit Reply Quote

Why, AmH, aren't Chamars Hindu at all? This remark sounds suspiciously in the corner of discrimination to me. Can people, who do the jobs which others don't, can they never be a Hindu? You are certainly misinformed about working with dead bodies. Firstly, Shalya Vidya was practised very early by the Indians, when even Chinese didn't. Shalya Vidya is not only with living bodies, but also with dead bodies. The Shalya Vaidyaka didn't get his information solely from living bodies! Secondly, the dead body of the very ancient king of Videha, called Nimi, was in the same fashion as the Egyptians preserved with certains oils, etc. We are talking about a pre 3100 BC king. For the rest, I hope that remarks in this subject like 'chamars are from black slaved people of Egypt' (or anywhere) will cease to be posted. First there has to be a proved connection between people of the Charmakara or Chamar community with Egypt. Secondly, it would be more appreciated if the mode of speaking referring to that community would be less flavoured than the discriminitoire level. A bit of respect should be in place here. regards, Ishwa
