christist mayhem in goa etc.

the legend in kerala is that parsurama created *kerala* by throwing his axe into the sea. there is fossil evidence that indeed at least parts of the western ghats came up from the sea. fossils of sea-bottom dwelling marine creatures have been found atop (i think) peaks such as anamudi (elephant crest), the tallest peak in the ghats. this implies tectonic movements that caused the seafloor to rise up and become land.

also, this report below is very quiet about what happened to the ancient temple of katyayani. answer: the christists destroyed it during the reign of terror of 'saint' francis xavier and the inquisition. why is this fact 'negated'?

i went to madgaon recently, and found out that madgaon = matt + gaon = village of mathams. *every one* of those mathams was destroyed and taken over by the christists just as they did to the kapaliswar temple in chennai over which their san thome cathedral has been built.

yet another example of the babri masjid syndrome. mohammedans destroyed at least 100,000 temples in north india. christists destroyed at least 10,000 temples in south india. such a fine pair of barbaric imperialistic semitic cults!
