[QUOTE="Jasdeep118, post: 217383, member: 20939"] Thank you very much Rajveer Bhaiji, me and you faced a lot of tough challenges. I had issues with depression, and it really affected my life. I am a big historical buff as you, and I realize throughout history, religion changes quite a bit, like after the death of a leader it sort of tumbles down.
