Mr. Vendanti, Please do not reduce Hinduism to the standard of other religions. As I understand Hinduism, it has given respect to intellect of all kinds of people. You will find some hindus being monotheists, some being polytheists, pantheists and atheists.
You will find different people following different philosophies. Common thing among every philosophy will be respect for other's beliefs.
Please do not use Hinduism to gain votes in elections. Karunanidhi is an opportunist. If Hindus can vote as a votebank, he will lick their feet as he is doing of muslims and christians attending iftar party and banning anti-christian movie.
Dont use religion to get even with him and win elections.
