Are you sure you understand the nature of Hinduism?"

What I know is that anyone claiming to understand the 'true nature' of Hinduism is probably making too grand a claim and is generally upto no good. There're as many true natures of Hinduism as there are adherents, IMHO.

Still, there's a body of traditional literature, which anyone can read, and it's readily understood with or without the assistance of a guru.

I have yet to find where people get the idea that Hindus are pacifistic.
