Joe Biden - "Indian-Americans are taking over the country"

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Sikh religion was primarily formed to oppose these forced conversions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism). Many refused to convert and they were persecuted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Hindus#During_Islamic_rule_of_the_Indian_sub-continent)
And there is also concept of Jizya is islam as far as I know for taxing non-believers

I am pretty sure people would have forgotten their lineage after few centuries after conversion. Look I am not here to discuss about these things. You can reject what ever you want I am not here to question that. I just described about Sanatana Dharma and you went on a tangent.

It is mostly hindutva sites which push this forced conversion myth, it is now taken as gospel, even by supposedly sensible Sanatana Dharmans. How come there were so many hindu leaders under Moghul reign if they were persecuted. Do not want to go off on a tangent, so you are right, should probably take this up in one of the other threads which already discuss this.

Many Hindu Maharajas, Rajputs etc were happily giving the hands of their daughters and sisters in marriage to the Muslim rulers. This is why many of the Mughal emperors were born to hindu mothers.

Firstly these Hinduvita apologists throw in the argument of “forced conversions” and when they are trapped in their own argument, they try finding a escape route.

First of all no one is arguing with you. You are the one dragging me into this. Not sure why. Its absurd if you believe there are no forced conversions at all. You gave list of mothers of Mughal emperors few of them are rajputs and hindus. From what I saw they were offered as a sign of submission. Not sure why they didn't keep their Hindu names? And why their kids weren't hindus? So you mean to say entire religion of Sikhs are a hindutava conspiracy? Also do you also mean to say every person who converted to Islam was out of their own will? You don't need to answer these. Just don't turn this thread into another hindu-muslim fighting thread we already have plenty of that.

At Microsoft, A Promotion For Satya Nadella After He Revamped It


Satya Nadella, 53, succeeds John Thompson, who will return to the role of lead independent director, a position he held before being named chairman in 2014, Microsoft said Wednesday in a statement.


Microsoft Corp. named Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella as board chairman, strengthening his influence at the world's largest software maker after more than seven years as the top executive.
Nadella, 53, succeeds John Thompson, who will return to the role of lead independent director, a position he held before being named chairman in 2014, Microsoft said Wednesday in a statement.

The change is a vote of confidence in Nadella, who was appointed CEO in February 2014. Thompson, 72, has been scaling back his work as chairman over the past few years, Microsoft said. The two have been discussing the new roles since last fall.

When Nadella took the CEO job, Bill Gates stepped down as chairman of the company he co-founded, significantly reducing his role at Microsoft, and Thompson was tapped to replace him. The idea was that Nadella would benefit from mentoring by Thompson, a technology executive for several decades.

Microsoft has undergone a rebirth during Nadella's leadership, recovering from failures in the mobile phone and internet search market, as well as a waning of the importance of its flagship Windows operating system. Nadella has refocused the company around cloud computing, mobile applications and artificial intelligence while breathing new life into the Office software franchise by shifting it more to the cloud and to other operating systems.

The company's shares have soared more than sevenfold and its market value is approaching $2 trillion as Microsoft has been restored to the ranks of the top technology companies.

Nadella, the company's third CEO, will also be the third chairman in Microsoft's history, following Gates and Thompson. Steve Ballmer, the CEO before Nadella, never held the chairmanship as Gates kept that title for Ballmer's entire tenure.

Thompson will remain active as lead independent director, overseeing Nadella's compensation, succession planning, governance and board operations, Microsoft said in the statement.
