Naipaul's prominent support for Hindutva has also been controversial. He has
been quoted describing the destruction of the Babri Mosque as a "creative
passion", and the invasion of Babur in the 16th century as a "mortal wound".
He views Vijayanagar, which fell in 1565, as the last bastion of native
Hindu civilisation. William Dalrymple has argued that this is too
simplistic, and that both Vijayanagar and the Mughal empire were hybrid
civilisations, combining elements of both cultures.

Babri Mosque
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Babri Mosque (also Babri Masjid) was a mosque constructed by the Muslim
emperor of India Babur in Ayodhya in the 16th century. It was alleged that
Babur destroyed an existing temple at the site, which Hindus believe was the
temple built to commemorate the birthplace of Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu
and ruler of Ayodhya.
The mosque had been used by Muslims as a prayer site for hundreds of years.
In 1949, Hindu activists who wished to see it replaced with a Rama temple
broke in and placed statues of Rama inside the mosque. Following this, the
state government ordered the mosque sealed.
In 1986 the mosque was reopened by a lower court at the request of the Hindu
nationalist Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP, "World Hindu Council") to allow
Hindus to worship there.
In 1990, Lal Krishna Advani, a top member of the Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) began a campaign tour (a rathayatra, or "chariot-journey") to build
support for a Rama temple at the mosque site. The VHP also negotiated with
the All India Babri Masjid Action Committee (AIBMAC), an organisation
created to represent the interests of Muslims in the mosque, over the site,
each presenting evidence to the court of their claims to the site.
The mosque was destroyed on December 6, 1992, by a crowd of nearly one
million activists (karsevaks) of the VHP and other associated groups. The
destruction occurred at the end of Advani's rathayatra, and there is some
evidence that it was pre-planned by Hindu nationalist groups.
Following the destruction of the mosque, communal riots broke out between
Hindus and Muslims across India, including in Mumbai (Bombay), which was a
largely secular and cosmopolitan city. It is generally accepted that the
campaign to build the Rama temple and the destruction of the mosque was
responsible for the BJP's meteoric rise to power.
Since then, the AIBMAC has been campaigning to have the mosque rebuilt at
the same site, while the VHP has been moving forward with plans to build a
Rama temple there. In December 2002 the VHP announced that it would
construct the temple in a year and a half (i.e., mid 2004).
After a study the Archaeological Survey of India on August 25, 2003,
produced a controversial report that stated, from digging and studies of
materials and layers under the since destroyed mosque, there was evidence of
a large Hindu temple having pre-existed the Babri mosque. The ASI report
mentions a huge structure (11-12th century) on which a massive structure,
having a huge pillared hall (or two halls), with at least three structural
phases and three successive floors attached with it was constructed later
on. "There is sufficient proof of existence of a massive and monumental
structure having a minimum of 50 x 30 metre in north-south and east-west
directions respectivley just below the disputed structure," claims the
report. However many Muslim groups such as the Sunni Central Wakf Board
dispute the findings.
Sarà santuzzo ma io non mi fido del parere di chi approva la distruzione di
luoghi di culto.

 luoghi di culto.
Nemmeno io, mi limitavo a riportare un articolo curioso. Se uno scrive
bene, e Sir Naipaul scrive bene, non vuol dire che sia necessariamente
piu' saggio o piu' esperto in altri campi. Vedi ad esempio quella merda di
Saramago ed il suo paragone Jenin-Auschwitz.
Pero' a te che teorizzi sempre stragi, olocausti nucleari,m sterminio dei
ceceni, etc. non dovrebbe dispiacere, no?

In effetti l'abbattimento del WTC cade appieno nella categoria "creative
passion". Ma il WTC non è affatto un luogo di culto (se non per qualche
cosumista patologico), ad esempio non approverei la distruzione di una
Chiesa o di un tempio o di un convento. Interessante notare che gli
americani con i loro bombardamenti sulla Germania hanno distrutto più chiese
cristiane simbolicamente importanti che lenin e stalin messi assieme
(cassino dresda colonia ecc ecc)

 ecc ecc)
Beh diciamo gli inglesi piů che gli americani, in effetti sarebbe

Imho la WWII è stata una guerra di ideologie. Si può poi discutere se
certe ideologie possano essere considerate religiose, ma io la vedo così...
