Who do you like better, Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes? And why?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-90a897cc4d36f2214d0984bac0f7cf00
By Sunil Kumar Tricky question, but simple answer. I like both of them, but Sherlock Holmes definitely ranks higher in my mind. Reasons- Probably because I read ‘The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ earlier, when I was 10 years old, and …

Which character should be made responsible for the Mahabharata war?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-68251505c490b1620cd369b82fbc62fd.webp
By Sunil Kumar I think your way of viewing the Mahabharata War as a blame game is totally wrong. Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion, but this was a ‘dharma yuddha’, not a normal terrestrial conflict where …

Why was the ‘Emergency’ period under Indira Gandhi neither discussed nor even mentioned in school?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-036b602c9306feac26ef6d2299aacbad
By Sunil Kumar Good question and observation. Even in Maharashtra, where I was in school, the Emergency was never discussed or mentioned. My school was a Jesuit institution, and although we had the usual skits on national integration etc, this …

Do Indian texts like the Vedas mention the ancient Persians and Iranians at all?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-459737e11bd684e29ce71b2e7ece6fb3
By Sunil Kumar Giving an answer to your question would be reaching far back into hoary antiquity, when the concept of modern nation-states was not there, and the world was in a fluid civilizational construct. For example, the history of …

Do you think ‘Henry Cavill’ could have been a better choice to play ‘King Henry VIII’ instead of ‘Jonathan Rhys Meyers’ in ‘The Tudors’?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-97d1687653f983cae5f802e4f95f0a95
By Sunil Kumar Frankly, no. Neither actor looks like the real Henry VIII- an obese man who was reportedly massive – this comes across in many portraits and artifacts. I can vouch for this as a fact as I’ve seen …

By Sunil Kumar The son did become the next king of England. By the second wife, I think you mean Anne Boleyn who Henry VIII executed. His son Edward from his third beloved wife Jane Seymour did become King (Edward …

भूतकाळाचा विचार केल्यास एक सामान्य नागरिक म्हणून तुमचे ‘त्यावेळी’ आणीबाणीबद्दलचे मत काय होते? तेव्हाचे मत आणि आत्ताच्या मतामध्ये काही फरक पडला आहे का?
https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-df5af13f42e5062847fc319e212ce23c
By Sunil Kumar प्रथम मला स्पष्टीकरण द्यावे लागेल की मी ‘आपत्कालीन’ नंतर जन्माला आलो; माझी मते पूर्णपणे पुस्तके आणि त्या वेळी सुमारे असलेल्या लोकांची मते यावर आधारित आहेत. हे हानिकारक ठरणार नाही, मी जसजसे मला ऐकलंय की लोक मला माहित …
