Help! A stupid rightwingnut has butchered my country's history!
After I read about 'conservapedia.com' in the latest Top 10, i paid a visit to the website and encountered an entry on India. It's full of the most awfully idiotic statements, and the writing is akin to an essay written by a not-very-bright 10 year old. Read the whole sorry essay at:
http://www.conservapedia.com/World_History_Lecture_Three

And this might interest you:

The highest caste is the “Brahmans” (priests and scholars), a term used today in English to describe wealthy, aloof New England families, like John Kerry’s.

but then, what do you expect from folks who preface the entry with this amusing premise:

Ask yourself at the outset: why learn about any religion other than Christianity? That is a good question to ask. Many Christians could conclude that, having found their faith, they see no reason to study non-Christian religions.

There are some valid reasons to studying other religions, however. Christian missionaries, for example, need to understand the religions of the peoples they are attempting to convert.
