Surekha, what you say is basically correct, that we are all human beings with compassion and love. Having said that it will be stupid if the Hindus don't get themselves organized so that their problems are eliminated. If a pro-active policy is not adopted then the Hindu culture and religion will cease to exist in the face of religious conversions by missionary groups from the monotheistic religions who convert not only through threats and monetary benefits, but also through a campaign of disinformation about the Hindu religion. The Hindus are not blameless, they have been responsible in dividing society on the basis of caste for thousands of years.
However, the Hindu religion is one that keeps evolving and today, most Hindus recognise that all people are equal and casteism should be eliminated. The efforts of reformers will not go wasted in this regard. At the end of the day, reform will set in and the Hindu religion and culture will not be lost.
God is one, but it does not mean that all religions that are not monotheistic are necessarily evil and need to be eliminated. The Hindus living today will be responsible for preserving their religion and culture and also evolve and strive to eliminate problems inherent in today's society such as the dreaded caste system. This is not going to be easy, especially when the pseudo-secular government is keen to further exacerbate the divisions in society by playing the reservations card in a manner that suits them.
If the Hindus re-organise themselves and succeed in totally eradicating the intrinsic issues of their religion, the missionary groups who insist that monotheism is the only way to escape hell-fire will not be able to eliminate the diversity that exists today.

we look good when we say such good things. But in reality, there are people who would support terrorism and killing you or me to spread their religion. So come out of your dream before it's too late.
if all are good it is true. this world is not all are good type. we were not united from 700BC to till date . that is why we lost afghan, pakisthan, bangladesh soon kashmir then kerala. you can't follow gandhi's principle to religiuos terrorists. you need krishna's principle. india was never against muslims or christians or their growth, but they are against somebody saying mine is superiror than yours. india was controlled by buddhism in certain era and after shankaracharya winning in battle of intellect we got it back. not even a single blood shed between hindus and buddists. we were ruled by english and we don't have hatred against them. jews were killed by germans they don't have hatred against germans. but when somebody is for conquering the world and says his is supreme belief and god, problem appears there. all we are saying is be united as hindu, not as brahmin or kshatriya or dalit or caste but just as hindu. what we need is IT(inner transformation) to become a proud hindu.convert a hindu to hindu is biggest challenge. don't liston to so called preachers and swamis, learn sanscrit and learn veda not alone geetha. we have to come out of govt control and have our own religious existence and each temple should be enriched and there a sudra occupation born with brahmanic script knowledge should be able to do pooja. women should be respected as in vedic era. when shankara was debating with intellects in north there were women mediators to judge who is best. hope this helps to understand the power of women rather a current corporate ill-dressed one who makes women just a commodity as in wesern culture in the name fo freedom. as to gandhi freedom is self -restriction. let a muslim do his prayers and hindu his,but not dictated by caste or minority or brahmin concept every hindus should learn sanscrit and there should be job opportunity for that in astrology, astronomy,economics, farming, ayurveda ,it is importance in scientfic inventios etc. hope this helps
