Hinduism is a grand philosophy
by manuel dias on Sep 26, 2007 11:33 AM

The Indians should understand that Hinduism is the oldest and grand philosophy. Hindus here have never shown great respect to other religions. They have made other religionists much more comfortable. Whether they are muslims, christians, parsi's or jews. But all that is changing.

The main reason is that the muslims and few within christians have mistaken this welcome attitude from Hindus as the weakness in Hinduism. No doubt the caste system has hurt Hinduism. But the caste system has nothing to do with Hinduism. It was a ploy of few higher castes within Hinduism to maintain their superiority. Hindus have realised this weakness and are making every effort to address it. The society is changed to great extent. No doubt still a lot needs to be done. But this should not give muslims or few within christians the license to advertise their religion at the cost of Hinduism.

Hinduism is not a narrow religion as Islam where they have a very very narrow perspective of Islam being the only true religion and they want to make the whole world Islamic. Christianity as taught by Christ is hardly practised. Few from Christians, mainly Protestants and the new breed of believers have started the shops of GOD, everywhere they go and sell it at discount prices. Even Christ must be weeping at such a sorry state. Some new & innovative ways need to be brought to check these shop keepers. I am a Christain myself. However, I feel I can be a Hindu and a Christian at same time.
