Are Hinduism and Brahmanism the same religion? They contradict each other says Zakir Naik.?

Question

If they contradict each other, doesn't that make them 2 separate religions rather than the same one?

Answer 1

Actually...Buddhism and Jainism don't contradict each other...Jainism itself has been inspired by Buddhism....Buddhism DOES believe in a soul......

In respect to your question...I wouldn't give a passing thought to what that old fool (naik) says,......He has made a living out of talking bull c**p...he scherry picks rather than analysing deeper and spends more time teaching non-Muslims about their religions than Teaching muslims about islam.

Answer 2

Dude, seriously...Brahmanism?

I am a Brahmin, a sect of Hinduism. Kind of like being a Catholic or a Presbyterian, ect. And by the way, Brahmins in technicality cannot eat meat, Aakash.  

Answer 3

BRAHMANISM?????

i think u mean Brahman or pandit,

no they are absolutely same, i would say that its not Hindu religion but its called SANATHAN RELIGION, which includes hinduism, jain, buddhist, sikh, and many others as you people give different names to different streams,

hinduism gives liberty to think and do anything except- giving pain to others in any way.

Answer 4

Hinduism and Brahmanism are not the same, if you mean Hinduism as Sanatana Dharma.

I didn't know that Buddhists may eat meat.  Well, some may because vegetables may not be enough in their place.  Like the Tibetan Buddhists.  Jains live in the principle of ahimsa or non-violence that's why they don't eat meat.

If there's no soul, how come they believe in reincarnation?

Atheism isn't Sanatana Dharma.  Atheism is the belief that there is no God.   No Supreme Being.  Atheism isn't included in Sanatana Dharma

Answer 5

Brahmins belong to Hindu Religion.  Thee is no religion as Brahmin.  In Hindu religion there are many castes,  Brahmins are higher caste in Hindu Religion.
