Islam is going through the social evil which hindus had a hundred years ago. Religion and social evils are separate and when mixed it creates confusion. This is what is happening with JIHAD nowadays ( Just like brahminism hundreds of years ago..used to suppress lower casts). Wake up muslim guys,..stop misinterpreting religion. Stop using JIHAD for each smaller issues and disputes..it is going to bring only misunderstanding,confusion and disgrace to society and humanity at large.

Hinduism changed because it is still considered a CULTURE than a religion. There are no real bindings on many of the past evils.Example: SATI does not have a Hindu idealogical background from the religion. It was bad for a widow to live due to oppressing conditions. But when educated people like Raja RMRoy and alike spoke against it, it was slow revolution. Good thing is that people didn't give FATWAH against RRMR.
Islam has got some reformist like Bahatullah etc. but they are considered anti-Islam according to Islamic scholars. BTW, Bahai is reaching out to lots of people of all religions.
Reform can be brought by Maullavis/Mullas but they (like all other religios heads) like to control and brainwash their people. Unfortunately, depressing emotional brainwashing lasts longer and has sever effects.
