Why Isn't Hinduism Given Proper Respect In India???

Question

There are several dosen Muslim, Christian and Buddhist states in the world. They all respect their religion. India is the ONLY Hindu country (by that I mean only Hindu majority country) and in India Hinduism is treated poorly.

Indians have the world's oldest religion and they have treated it so badly....By contrast more westerners seem to have respect and appreciation for Hinduism than Indians themselves....

I am not suggesting that all Indians should turn into Rishis and swamis...But that Hinduism is Indian heritage and all Indians (including muslims and Christians Indians) came from a Hindu ancestory.....Why can't Indians respect and appreciate their heritage like everybody in the world does???

Answer 1

I don't think they are ashamed of being Hindu, but I do understand you when you say that we don't really respect our religion because we don't treat it in a special way. But for us Hinduism is part of our daily life, and we love all the good and bad that comes with our religion. At least I love my religion.

Answer 2

Hinduism is Oxymoron.

Ask what is your Caste?

Answer 3

First Hinduism is one of the more democratic religions in the World. Any body can speak anything and easily walk away. For Hindus there is no supreme spiritual head.

Also Hinduism adapts itself to the changing environs of social,political arena for the past 2000 years.Hinduism has been plagued by mis belief , age old customs etc.,

Most of the ills of the Hinduism is orchestrated by Brahmin's

who  calls themselves as the descent ants of Aryans who migrated from Central Asia before 5000 years ago. They brought with them the Caste System ( to divide and subjugate  

people on the lines of their Profession). In order to maintain their Supremacy, they made the propaganda that they are closer to God, infected the people with wrong beliefs and Customs.

For example the Sati System that if a man dies then her wife should sacrifice her life in the burning pyre along along with the dead body of her husband.

You can commit any wrong doing and you will absolved of all your wrongs if you donate rice, money, cows,etc to the Brahmins as per the Vedic laws implemented by the Aryans is another example.

Ordinary Indians are not able to differentiate between their traditional life and the one imparted by the Aryans.Because the Indian mindset were corrupted by the Aryans for the past 5000 years ago.Basically all the Indians are Good.When you remove all the ill effects from the society then India is the best place to live on.

Christians and Muslims religions do not tolerate alternative thoughts. In History intellectuals and academics were targeted by the religious bodies in the Western and Islamic World.Fortunately in India Aryans did not go that much.

Believing in Oness and avoiding all form of idolatry worship and avoiding the Caste system is imparted in Hinduism, then We the Indians can be proud of ourselves and will be the envy of the whole World.

White people have the tendency to treat others unequals and the Aryans did the same in a different method.

Islam was not able to penetrate India because of its rigidness,intolerance towards free thoughts even though India was ruled by Muslim Kings for more than 1000 years.

We can say that Christianity was the second invasion of Aryans before 500 years. Even now Caste System is still prevalent in Churches though it will be stoutly denied by the Missionaries.But it is a open secret.

In India we have no proper religion to follow to attain the Salvation.At least we are very happy that we live in total freedom, happiness.

Answer 7

In today's democratic Globalised world, many Hindu concepts wont work.

Can u make a caste system in work & todays world? ( As per Hindu system, a low caste man should not go through a high caste people residence area)

Almost all Indians are working directly / indirectly for a Muslim or Christian. ( West & Middle East)

If you strongly depend on Hinduism, then all these Jobs will be lost (The true Hindu concept is, killing a living being is a sin and a person who is doing so is also a sinner and we have to keep distance with them, both muslims and christians are non vegetarians)

Where will it end if we Indians keep away from these job providing regions.

Overall, religion is not to show who you are, it is only for your mind power and personal believes.

About West, they never treated any religion in a negative manner.

All infrastructure which we have here in India are provided by them. Railways, roadways, even our courts are located in those buildings built by them. U can rarely see any christian religious symbols in those buildings.

I am a converted muslim from Hinduism ( one generation back)

All those who convert from Hinduism is only due to their dissatisfaction with Hinduism.

How will they respect and appreciate it?

Finally,

Hinduism is not a religion

it originated from the word "Indus valley Civilization"

Those Indus are later called as Hindus.

You should know that Indus / HIndus Civilization was not the only civilization in this sub continent.

There were Dravidas, Aryas and many more.

Now, for the past few decades, some parties are trying to unit all non muslims and non christians in to one umbrella stating that all are hindus.

Final Words:

Many People in India think that idle worship is a Hindu concept. And anybody against it is a Non - Hindu.

But that's not true.

The Idle worship came along with Aryans who came from Middle East.

There are strong proof that Dravidas & Indus prayed nature as god and not the idles.

Later, due to Aryans invasions, we started worshipping idles

The first one was Siva,( It was only a linga and didn't had any face, body structure)

All these new structures were brought up in the future upon the development of civilizations.

Even today, there are many people in Africa worshipping different types of idles.

But, can u call them as Hindus / Indus?

They are Africans and we are Indians.

So,

Idle worshipping has nothing to do with the name of Indus Or India.

I do believe that my ancestors are from this own land.

But the Small change is, we people in south believe that we are all from the DNA of Dravidas.

May be the people in and around Indus may believe that they are from Hindu / Indus Origin.

Now i think you have got a answer for your question.

If any doubts, modify your question, i will try to clarify your doubts with the best of my knowledge.

Answer 8

No one is ashamed to become Hindu.. it is your bad thinking.

Indians do respect their own religion.. sorry you have wrong information..

Answer 9

How is Hinduism treated badly or not respected may i asked to answer your ?

Basically any religion is a personal search for peace and comfort.

Answer 10

Indians are not ashamed to be muslims, Hindu, Christian, or Buddhist. Indians all work together and live together. The only person who wants indians of different religion to fight is politics.  I don't know where you received your information from but Indians respect each other and each others culture/religion. If Indians did not respects each other or each others religion then India would be a war zone.

All religions of India are respected and this can seen through out the world. There are some many Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and Mosques in the world.

All religions of India celebrate their religious days festively, may it be in India, Uk, Europe, Africa, USA or Canada.

Answer 11

I agree we should respect Hinduism and set a good example for the world... we should strive for Ram Rajya and allow treating women like cattle, subjecting them to agni pariksha for every small thing that makes us insecure about our masculinity.  

Also we should force everyone who has converted in the past thousand years to come back to hindu fold... but will everyone coming back be accepted as brahmin!!!  Very often there was a reason why they converted to other religions and mostly it was unfair treatment under hindu caste system.  and caste system is still alive and kicking.  

Grow up dude.. Hinduism does not mean anti muslimism or anti christism... the word Hindu was coined by arabs for the river sindhu and the country beyond hindu river was called hindustan by arabs.

A greater achievement for India will be to prove itself as true secular nation respecting all faiths and thoughts... And instead of enforcing our religious or regional identities,  ideally noone should be allowed to practice any religion beyond the confines of their four walls and no public lands should be allowed to be encroached for any religious places.

Before you mention Uniform Civil Code... it's not there even in Pakistan.
