to Mr.Curious person... narendra modi doesnt make up hinduism..nor does gujarat.....what america is doing in aghan and iraq represents christianity? a curious question... hindusim or hindus NEVER preached killing other for the sake of religion...(unlike church in mide viel period) but then a gujarat happens..a robert stein happens..that doesnt take away hinduisms tolerance level...or magnanimity! you really want me to narrate christian atrocities???? hinduisms tolerance level helped your ancestors to convert for that sack of rice or for that "tapioca" piece ...(since you are from kerala). hinduisms tolerence helped forigners to come and preach their religion and convert. ours is the only religion which says (krishna in bhagavatgita) "dont look down on others if they dont pray to me....i exists in diffrent forms....in dffrent names.....you all are ptraying to the same person" get over the gujarat hangover....and try to read more.

What happened in Gujrat might not be 'hinduism', but it definitely happened in the name of hinduism.. when people were murdering and slaughtering other people, they were chanting slogans praising ram and shiva. And it seems your only defence of these actions is 'so what, the christians are bad too' .. who said they were good, who defended the war in afgan and iraq.. do hindus have some kind of an inferiority complex? And oh yes, the Krishna quote is inded helpful, when only one para before that you are looking down on someone just because he is from kerela.. if people from a country that belongs to me and you have to convert their faith, something that is dear to all, for rice , then it is shame on you and me, and not them..

Well since Pooja is going hammer and tongs at Hinduism its time to remind her and others like her(?) that many things good and bad have happened in the name of Hinduism.
When its attacked on all fronts by elements within and without, something will give way and that reaction was the what happened in Gujarat but then if you take it as a benchmark and keep on parroting the same words over and over again it loses its relevance..you got it??
Reg conversion, no we do not lay all the blame on the convertees but the ppl(nuns and priests) who convert them and how..trapping them by giving inducements like cash,grains etc..and when...every Sunday when the convertees finish listening to the sermons.. this I know personally..is this the way you are taught to respect and love your God ??
Finally I have to ask all Hindus to be aware of this precious inheritance which is ours and see that it remains in India aka Hindustan forever...

Pooja, infact that is the only incident against HInduism. We can quote million times more against Christianity like holocaste in Germany. It was done in the name of christianity. Slavery where Baptist churches actively took part in US as well as Africa(Ask Bishop TUTU). About Islam the amount of plundering and loot and killing HIndus faced in their hands. Even noew in OPakistan and Bangla Desh HIndus are finished. Who is tere to take care of them. Muslims are very well gaurded in India. MOdi oincidence took place which was not any different from Skh killing by the congress inspired people. Apart from Modi can you mention anything else against Hindus?
