Hinduism is the root of all evil in India.

1. It explicitly creates irrational hierarchy among Indians which is against Article 14.
2. Parents covertly train their children to coerce other children as per the above hierarchies.
I deplore any other religion that does this.

More so, this hierarchy has nothing to do with hinduism (unlike islam and xnity that explicitly teach this hierarchy in their 'books'). In fact, Hinduism talks of controlling the 'aham' or selfish-feeling and asks everybody to follow righteousness and not selfishness in taking decisions.

i think Islam is the root cause of all evils in india. When there was partition it must have been a clear partition. All muslims in Pak & all true indians in india. Muslims stay in this country, have their families stay here,study here and then talk about the same country they are living in. Get out of this country right away and take all ur brothers & sisters aswell and leave us peacefully. Islam is such a backward religion, no respect and freedom for women

No religion passes the test of science. Hinduism is a way of life and most democratic. That is the reason they are so tolerant of other religions. Everyone knows that India is secular because of Hindus. Otherwise the dummy PM, super PM and learned President could not have been from minority community. You cannot find minorities occupying such high posts any where in the world? Can you give any example? Did the fightings in Chechnia, Yugoslavia, Indonesia, Middle East, North Ireland etc take place due to Hindus? Do not unnecesarily blame peace loving Hindus. You are able to criticise Hindus like this in this country, can you do so against Muslims and Christians, where they are in majority anywhere in the world?

Actually, the root of evil in the world is a set of beliefs based on birth and groupism of people either related to birth or otherwise.
The judaic religions fall under this perview. Hinduism clearly talks about equality irrespective of spiritual or ritualistic beliefs.
.
The hierarchy is a natural human phenomenon which has manifested itself as caste in india and as sects, tribes and religions in the rest of the world - it is the same hierarchy that tells muslims they are superior to others BECAUSE they are muslims, christians they are superior to others BECAUSE they are christians. This hierarchy thing is definitely a curse in all societies including India's.
