You may indeed be Caucasian, in other words, but you are not white. The Ozawa and Thind decisions demonstrate the ultimate function of race as an ideological tool and whiteness as property whose value was to be protected. As the court suggested in Ozawa, race is a practical line of separation, not a natural one and in social, economic, and political practice, separation is hierarchy. What would most astonish the average white person about the diminution of the unmistakable and profound differences between whites and Hindus, to take the language of the Thind decision, would be his or her own loss of standing as a result. 

There seems little doubt that the composition of gunpowder has been known in East from times of dimmest antiquity. The Chinese and Hindus contemporary with Moses are thought to have known of even the more recondite properties of the compound. It is very possible that Alexander the Great did absolutely meet with fire-weapons in India, which a passage in Quintus Curtius seems to indicate . 

It is known that prior to invention of explosives, incendiaries and fireworks were known, especially to Chinese and Hindus and later to Arabs and Greeks. That is why the chronological list given below starts with them ... 

Cross-cultural studies show that OCD occurs in many different groups and is essentially identical, although the content may differ slightly. For example, the Saudis, with their religious association of body washing and prayers, are often obsessed about these issues. By contrast, Hindus are more concerned about cleanliness, because it plays a prominent role in their religion ( 155). 

BC Phoenicians use charcoal to store and preserve drinking water Hindus use charcoal to filter drinking water. 

It would exceed the scope of this work to discuss further the complicated details of the atomic theories of the Hindus, or the variations existing in the different systems.8 It is, however, pertinent here to emphasize that certain fundamental premises underlie these Hindu theories of matter.

We shall when considering the theories of matter of the Greeks, have occasion to note how the ideas of the Hindus are in many respects, curiously paralleled, though the course of development is characteristically different. 

Historical (Refs 1,2,3,5,7,8,16,22 27). The exact date of the discovery of BkPdr is unknown. Some historians, such as Diego Ufano, attribute its discovery to the Chinese(in the 1st century before Christ), others to the Hindus and still others consider it of Arabian origin. It is very probable, however, that mixts similar to BkPdr were used very early by the Chinese(and perhaps by the Arabs) in the manuf of fireworks, rocket-type arrows or incendiary compns, but it was not used as a propellant in firearms, as there is no proof... 

Such an imperial and kingly concept of the ultimate reality, however, is neither necessary nor universal. The Hindus... 

The SUN is that invisible principle in the Mixt which causes all things to disintegrate or decompose. It is King, and shows itself as destroyer, before it reveals itself as restorer. (Nahash-Messiach). The Hindus have a very perfect symbol of this in their triune Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva, Creator-Preserver-Destroyer. 

The word arthritis simply means inflammation of the joints and the disease has been recognised as an affliction of the human condition since early times. The Hindus of India wrote about it as long ago as 1000 BC, and Hippocrates in ancient Greece believed it to be a symptom of poisoning which could be relieved by blood letting. A hundred years ago doctors thought it was caused by an infection and one way to treat it was to remove sources of infection from the body, such as teeth, tonsils, and appendix. Today we regard arthritis as an autoimmune disease in which the body s defence mechanism has turned upon itself.
