well as i said in the earlier post, the texts you mentioned are the compilations of various schools of thought. And also I repeat, there is nothing like a comprehensive hinduism. Atleast in the context of a comparison not for blasphemy, people belonging to this faith(as it was understood by other faiths) never followed a human preaching alone. They were given choice as to what they think religion should be. And if it is brahminism, every institution is subjected to abuse on the planet. Christiantiy was used for political advantages in Europe. Jewish sentiments are used in stock markets. Places of worship are controlled by mortals who habe committed incest in the name of religion or have assocaited with derogated mortals. So a criticism of any institution i believe, will not give us an insight into it's true purpose.
