@Scounged so you will draft your answer based on an animated kid show and not on wiki article? Your answer need to be removed. I have already sent you verifiable wiki link and there are tons of articles online talking about Chess origination in India. If you don't have understanding of subject then don't run to answer it. Update your answer saying that your source is from Kid's show. What a lame way to share knowledge without proper references.

@Scounged and story you are explaining in your answer hails from India. At least have politeness to properly draft your answer with proper credit.

@Scounged okay! if you agree then remove the sentence that "origin of chess is unknown". Also, in your previous to previous comment, you claimed this "If you're claiming that the Indian game 'Chaturanga' is unquestionably the ultimate predecessor of chess, then we're back at square 1. What are the exact origins of Chaturanga (which is what the OP is wondering in this case)? Is it perhaps the chinese version of chess called Xiangqi, that is claimed to be the ACTUAL predecessor of chess by some" That is the reason I have to explain you in detail.

@Scounged That is the reason I asked you. You audaciously claimed that Xiangqi is more closely related to Chess than Chaturanga. Also, you don't need to play Chaturanga separately, if you played Chess as both of them are one and the same with few later European addition like 1) England replacing "Mantri" (adviser: Minister in war or Army chief) with "Queen" to please their Queen in England, 2)Replacing just name of Chess piece "Camel" with "Bishop"...conti...

@Scounged ....3)Independently of the color, adviser is placed always on the left of the king. 4) Castling etc etc... just few twiks. Chaturanga was played 3000+ years in India sub continent and until today household plays Chaturanga with old rules. Only when you prepare for international competition you learn European rules. It is said that Chaturanga is a predecessor of Xiang qi. Read here

@Scounged can you explain me horse move in chess is more close to "Chaturanga" Or "Xiangqi"?

@Scounged what you are saying is your opinion. I'll grab a link if I find where professor of prestigious uni. gives example of chess originated in India.

Get your facts check before saying that origin is unknown. Here, is Wiki article for your perusal.

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

@Sarvabhouma don't deviate from original point. Try to read OP's question, if you are so into defending meat eating. OP is asking about Halal vegetarian food, and other commentor is endorsing eating Halal meat. I have been long on SE then you may be. I haven't used abusive words, or insulted anyone in any form. I am again and again trying to point that OP is asking about Halal VEGETARIAN food and not meat. Cultivate habit of reading question in detail before engaging someone into unwanted debate.

@Sarvabhouma also, if you concentrate on question more than my trailing comments. Then OP is asking for Halal-Vegetarian food items, and not meat. That was the first trigger point when I questioned Just_do_it's comment. That user is simply endorsing eating meat even though OP isn't asking for it.

@Sarvabhouma When I say, "Secular mentality" then I am talking about claims made by people without substantial proof. Stackexchange answers/comments/thoughts etc. demands proof in form of authentic sources. Also, you failed to explain, IS HALAL a part of Hindu terminology? There is difference between terminology and language vocabulary. Language can be used to express thoughts, it does not necessary be associated with any religion or dharma. First get your basics right.

@Sarvabhouma Can you explain how the term halal is a part of Hinduism? If you wish to comment then please comment with proper references because our website also demand to furnish proper source to substantiate your thoughts.

@Sarvabhouma secular mentality everywhere. You seams to forget that I also demanded said commentor to quote scriptures, guru, saint, or yogi teaching to eat meat. Being born hindu and practicing Hinduism is two different things.

@Just_Do_It you can't snap back with an argument about what others are doing. If I see them, then I will require clarification from them as well. You can't support your argument based on those logic. Why aren't you correcting them? Also, provide independent support to your thoughts.

@Just_Do_It Which version of the Gita/Geeta you are following? In the name of Hinduism everyone is taking a free hit. Krishna himself was a proponent of vegetarian diet. Which God, demi-God, Yogi, Shant, or Guru preached you to eat meat? This is not a socio-cultural site under humanities domain. Here you should share knowledge only based on the teaching of Hinduism. Support your thought by giving proof that meat is permissible in Hinduism. You can't stop them from eating it, but at same time you should also tell them that you are not practicing Hinduism either.

@Rickross I have voted to close this question. It is not Hinduism or Sanata Dharma question. It is socio-cultural (humanities) domain questions.

@ram I have voted to close this question. It is not Hinduism or Sanata Dharma question. It is socio-cultural (humanities) domain questions.

I don't want to close chat without your consent

waiting for your closure

Do you want me to be in chat for you to explain my stand any further?

I hope I have cleared by stand so far

It is best suited to ask Muslim brothers that what is Halal Vegetarian food. They are in better position to help. As they know meaning of Halal food of any form.

I raised by voice because I haven't read Halal terminology in any scriptures so far.

Moderator hasn't decided yet. If they don't want to close this questions, then I don't mind.

If it is open, then let it be.

let mod decide

You are not moderator. So why you are talking closing of question as requested by me on you.

If it is flagged then Mod decides to close it or not

Then don't it. One require at least 5 votes to close question. But, I guess, you agree that I have prerogative to raise this question as off topic, isn't it. If I so believe it?

Can you elaborate by what you mean to say by this 'Close is not downvote or dislike button."?

Well, I have prerogative to raise this question as off-topic and no one can dictate their terms on what should I do on SE. As far as, I am following SE guidelines and features provided to me as user, I can vouch to choose this as off topic question.

"There can be Hinduism equivalent for any term. English is not a part of Hinduism but you are talking. right? Meat is also an English word but we find an English equivalent. "

Which scripture talks about terminology "Halal" in Hinduism? I hope you also know that any language be used to express your thoughts, whereas particular set of terminology is associated with subject of interest. Do, we have concept of Halal? It is not Hinduism question, it is Islamic SE site question. OP need to furnish what is Halal in first place.

now what?

OP is asking about Halal vegetarian food and you are egregiously commenting about Halal meat.

and you are comparing apples with oranges.

You claim that you know what OP asked

I guess, you are losing entire concept of what OP asked in his/her question.

you are comparing apples with oranges

OP isn't asking about meat at all. Then what was your point by saying "This is as valid as "Can Hindus eat Beef/meat"."

*explanation

that is the reason I am asking explaination

I know what you wrote.

right now let us talk about this question this question and your comment

Where this raises or fulfill OP's need

Then what was your point by saying this "This is as valid as "Can Hindus eat Beef/meat"?"

Well, I am very much clear about this particular question. It is not asking about meat. Now that you know that this question is not asking about eating meat. Your entire focus shifted on WHY I raised it as off topic, right?

*what OP is asking

if so then please explain what question is asking
