Learn the spelling for "beauty" and then comment here. I dont know when all these people - Nehru, Gandhi, Ambedkar, Ramakrishna converted to Islam. History does not have evidence. Wake up from your dream.

quoting cupid: no one has seen god , it should not matter to people of other faith whatever they are worshiping animals, stones etc . As long as human life and their rights are respected, no one should mind any religion. BTW, I am not a Hindu.

Secularism & democracy are the foundations of Hinduism. Caste saved India from dark days by providing some basic purpose in life. Religion is One and should be limited to Human Character and Human Values with One Common Law encouraging people to develop their Body and Mind, Emotions and Intellect, Creativity and Consciousness. The caste is a scientific concept but has been abused and distorted by confused people. It basically means that to live life intelligently we need to effectively balance the 4-forces within - Thinker, Protector, Economist, Worker - and also while governing society. This is all based on natural human intelligence. The roots of the ancient Indian philosophy which goes by the name Hinduism is actually secular, logical and universal. The book clarifies this. The idols symbolize objectives in life: Shiva (freedom), Durga (Strength), Saraswati (Knowledge), Lakshmi (Wealth), Ganesh (Wisdom). Life is God. These Goddesses are not really goddesses per se but symbolize the objectives of the pursuit of human life. All civilized societies in the world practice this in principle as it is the natural and true meaning of 'secularism' and 'humanism' followed by all.

Very well put. The caste system in Sanatana Dharma was not founded on profession or occupation but actually on the attitude and aptitude of the individual. The behavior more than anything else determined to which group he belonged. Further Sanatana Dharma is a dharma and not a religion. Religion specifies do's and dont's to its followers in daily life. Religion interferes in political, social, financial, and legal aspects of life. It also very much intrudes in scientific arena sometimes to the detriment of its followers. Having said this, it must be noted that religions are based on nyaya or justice. Sanatana Dharma is based on dharma. Now what is nyaya and what is dharma? For nyaya you need anyaya or injustice or acts or intents or thoughts of injustice. In dharma, there is no conflict. Nyaya depends on or is founded upon action or karma; dharma is founded upon naishkarma or nondoing or in other words attitude. Religion is action; dharma is attitude. If one's attitude is right, then all actions are right! No need for any conflict. Figure it out for yourself now.

read your books, if not read I will post you. Regarding the religion referred to as `Hinduism', JAWAHARLAL NEHRU said in his "THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA" (Page 37):
"HINDUISM as a faith is vague, amorphous, many sided, all things to all men. It is hardly possible to define it, or indeed to say definitely whether it is a religion or not, in the usual sense of the word. In its present form, and even in the past, it embraces many beliefs and practices, from the highest to the lowest, often opposed to or contradicting each other." Hinduism is better known as Brahmanism, since the word `Hindu' is of Islamicate Persian origin. There were essentially 2 types of faith in ancient India. Firstly, those which accepted the Vedas and superiority of the Brahmin caste (these are referred to as `astika' or orthodox) and consist of 6 schools. These are collectively referred to in ancient inscriptions as `Brahmana', which is rendered as `Brahmanism'. This category includes Vaishnavas, Vedists (`vaidikas'), Vedantists, etc. Then those who opposed casteism and the Vedas; these are referred to as `Sramana' or `nasika' (heretic). This last category includes Buddhists, Jains, Shaivas, Tantrics, Atheists (Carvaks), etc.

Suicide Bombs are only in India, pakistan, palistin, iraq. all these are political gains, you know for iraq, Afganistan, & palistan, it Jews accupied palistian land and killing innocent muslims daily, some of them lifted arms against jews but they are called millitants not freedom fighters. same in Iraq & afgahn this has done bu evil bush. apart from that you see UAE, Saudi Arabia, you will not see suiside bombors, egyp . etc etc. muslims are living very peacefully. In India main problem is Kashmir, even majority of people living is muslims. they are also fighting for land.
