Hindus are like dancers in somebody elses' marriage. They can never put their own cause over ther others'. Give Hindus a stick and they will end up beating thir own brothers. But by God what peace and tanquility was their in this land when Hindu tenets were in practice. You throw them and see what society we have got. You have people who are killing others without even thinking of next life. Sense of dharma is not being taught so young men and women are falling into endless pit of dissatisfation. Please! instead of fighting this great thought, just imbibe it. No Chritianity and no Islam is giving peace anymore because these are not based on Sanatan Dharma, The Eternal Philosophy. These religions solved a problem which was momentory. PLease see the amount of diorientation in christian society and amount of unrest in Islam. Embrace Hinduasim and live happily everafter.

guruji, its interesting pro-hindu writing, but without historical basis.there is no religion as such. constructing a religion like Hindusim has not a long history. in india, you people( pro-hindu) have to formulate a strategy to build such a religion as to be called a unversally accepted. whoever observe from outside would understand that thousand of castes having variuos types of belief sysytem prevail in india. in that situation it si very hard to make up our mind to accept people scattered throughout India on the baisis of caset. Unlike other religioins , there is no sripture that indicates that all people in india are equal. its historically true to assume that Five thousand years of Inidan History would show truth how dangerous these primitive belief system that claimed lives of millions of untouchables through ages.

Where did you get all this data man..... all these are thing of the past?......... Dalits rule india now a days....
Tell me something- how many Indian journalists wrote thus when the BJP led alliance wished to edit the Indian textbooks not too long ago? Now when the US bigotted folks do the same there is such outrage! Indian kids in India are still learning about aryan invasion! every Hindu in his/her heart knows that AIT is BS and yet it has no validation in reality.
I subscribe to the views of Mr. Srinivasan. I have stayed in Gulf and barring few countries (Muscat, Dubai to name few places), Hindus do not have freedom of worship. It is heartrending considering the fact in India we, Hindus, respect (rather over-respect) others religious sentiments, in the name of (pseudo)secularism & at the expense of our religious sentiments...basic tenet of Hiduism is Tolerance...
I am still searching for the reason...Is it the Politicians career motive or the Hindus apathy?
I am sure articles like this would send alarm bells to all the true Hinuds, who would to keep in tact his faith. After all, unless you take care of yourself, you can not attend to others, becuase by the time you realise you would have been butchered.
The true story of hindus how they are treated in india and abroad. The Hindus are always treated as second class citizens in thier own country ie in india. This should change and a leader must emergy to do this. I strongly beleive that Hindus will get realiszed this soon.
I am British and I can assure you there is respect for Hindu/Buddist ideas. Every city in Western Europe even small town has whats know as a "new age" shop. Often this shop is the community focus for "new age" people. Virtually all new age people beleive in Karma and reincarnation and most are still Christians. These people beleive that Christ preached reincarnation but this was deleted from the bible. Vegetarianism is also becoming popular in the West for spiritual and health reasons. There are many Yoga classes. Yoga is probably more widely practiced in California than many parts of India. In contrast the chuches in Europe are poorly attended. I think many Europeans are looking for spirituality not religion.
The article here is by an angry person, it is miss-guided. He is highlighting only the negative stuff. I personally don´t like art which insults hinduism but I no desire for a ban. Hindusim is strong enough to stand slurs.
Dalai Lama gives Buddism a great image in the West. Hinduism can learn from this. Dalai Lamas peaceful aura explains buddism. To promote hinduism get a peaceful aura. peace/shanti
Yes.Mr.Srinivasan is correct.The enemy of hindus are hindus themselves.We donot have the courage(sufficient) to rise and raise.We need more Sri RAMAKRISHNA AND VIVEKANADA to bring back the glory.
