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.

Brothers,As you dont know Muslim also believes in Jesus & they have lots of respect for him.But Muslims do not worship Him as Muslim consider him as a Prophet of God not as Son of God.Nowhere Jesus mentioned that He should be worshipped.after Jesus's death Peter invented a new religion in the guise of Christianity which promotes Nudity & Alcoholism in the name of Liberalisations.Jesus's name is mentioned in Quran more than anyone.He is the True prophet of God,But not the Son of God as the todays christians believes.Here in lies the difference between Muslims & Christians.Worshipping anyone other than God is a Big sin. Jesus Christ never told anyone to worship him they why his statues are worshipped everywhere as nothing of that sort is mentioned in Bible. .Please change your self. God has given you this gift of brain to learn and think.Dont block your heart and mind, open them, study the realities, think and then decide.to be honest Jesus is just one of the thousands prophets who came to this world for the betterment of humanity.you cant pray a prophet,not even prophet mohammed, you can only pray their creator.I request you friends not to enjoin in sin, you are not illiterate like your ancestors.You have internet and wide varitey of books, read gita, ramayan, vedas, upanishads and relate them to the holy book of zorastrians jews christians muslims n all those, who pray the lord whom prophet abraham used to pray

Hi whoever you are I think you havent read all the scriptures properly.According to Gurucharita and also in Bhagavadgita,Lord Krishna tells Guru is God.To reach me you need to have proper guide who is guru and who had already attained brahaman and crossed those stages.Even Lord Krishna and Rama had Gurus even inspite being gods themselves.There is no wrong in worshipping Jesus or Prophet Mohammed ,they are gurus.There is also a saying if Guru gets angry with you no one can save you even god.There is no wrong in worshipping them and even Idol worship is also not wrong which Islam doesnt encourage.Ramakrishna Paramahamsa did Idol worship and he spoke with godess Kali.Everything which is done with faith and devotion is accepted by god.

I agree with you for your frankness and right observations.Let all the faiths thrive and we learn good things and omit which are not acceptable by all faiths.

Hindus here have always shown great respect to other religions, and that is the reason why people like Cape Comorin are still alive and barking.
Hindus know how to stop this barking. there is a limit for everything. If this Ram bashing continues, we will throw out all TN people (read non-brahmin, non-hindu believers) from other states and they are plenty every where. Without Hindus support, Cape Comorin, you cannot survive here. Admit that you are able to bark only because of tolerence from Hindus.

Barking dogs seldom bite! I know brahmins like you can only bark like this. You cannot find slaves like you got in ancient India to fight at your beheast.
