Intreting. the indian ambsador in mongolia was a budhist monk who become quite popular among the certain section of buddhist there and was given the tilltle “algin baksha” meaning amsador teacher which seems similar to urdu work algi for ambassador and baksha sound like bakshi a muslim priest or teacher

Thanks for your comment Mongol. My only knowledge of the Mongol culture is through movies and TV, and so my comparison was with the Mongols of 1000 years ago, the ones that supposedly traded women with horses.

I am sure the Mongolian culture has evolved a lot since the 11th century.

We are taught in schools that when Islam arrived, Mohammad abolished the old practices of killing girls in the Arabs, and women began having equal status to men – muslim women have also ruled in those days.

Somewhere though,things went wrong. Some of us were either left behind in the evolutionary process or have devolved back to the 11th century.

BTW, How do you guys get horse milk outside Mongolia, say, in the west?

Urdu means “Ord” or “Orda” meaning camp, palace in Mongolian. For example Altan Horde Ulus mean. State of Golden Palace or Country of Golden Palace Country in Mongolia. But unlike Pakistanis, we Mongols do not kill our women like animals as you say. Mongols love their women and treat them better than any other cultures. That is why during MOngolian empire there were times when women ruled the entire country.

We Mongols love goat, sheep milk, but we love horse milk best!
