IS going away. I'm not denying that India is changing. What I'm arguing against is the claim that India changed way back in the 40s. That is simply not true.
"Hinduism is a passive religion and like all religions (including Chrisitianity) it has 'some' blood on its hands."
LOL Well, if you think burning women and beating people up is 'passive' go for it.
"Besides there is no other country or society that gives affirmative action on the scale that India does."
Perhaps this has occurred over the last 20 years or so. Prior to that, it was not the case.
" So your claims of British forcing this in India is propaganda."
LOL Now where did I ever claim that? Please point to the post where I made this claim.
"And from what I remember - dowry existed in Europe and is also practised among Slammies and Christians in India."
And?
"When did you see Hindus or Buddhists hijacking planes or bombing people."
Ah, I see the problem. You think I'm comparing Hinduism to Islam. I'm not. No way. What I am doing is claiming that Hindus are not the loving, peaceful people they are cracked up to be.
"Pl stop your propaganda against a peaceful religion and a progressive nation."
Name one thing I have said that isn't true. And make sure I actually said it, because you seem to have a habit of reading things that were never posted.
By the way, it hasn't been all that long ago when the Hindus were allowing their kids to starve while cows, who were considered sacred, were wandering around freely.
You may think Hinduism is wonderful. I simply do not.
I will start with your last post. There are plenty "isnt trues" there
Perhaps this has occurred over the last 20 years or so. Prior to that, it was not the case.
affirmative action in india has existed since 1947. it is a part of their constitution. the constitution itself was drafted by a person belonging to the lower caste

a scott peterson killing his pregnant wife doesnt make all americans guilty..duh..similarly individual hindus killing their wives doesnt make all hindus wife beaters or murderers. they are the most affluent community in this country with the lowest divorce rate.
And here are some more "untruths" that your posts are sooooo full of. just sroll above
They did that (affirmative) for economic reasons (to gain more business from the U.S. and European nations) - post 14
You made the claim this was right after the British gave India back to Indians. You think at that point the people of India cared about anything but the British leaving? - post 29
again you should stop bad mouthing a peaceful people and turn your guns against the real threat - islamic terror.
Dont worry you will get there some day. In the meantime you should read this quote by William Durant (he is the most read historian of the 20th century)..
"India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of European languages. She was the mother of our philosophy. . . of our mathematics. . . of the ideals embodied in Christianity. . . of self-government and democracy. . . Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all."
Or probably you prefer Mark Twain who said this
"In religion, India is the only millionaire... the One land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined."
While hinduism and India have their own drawbacks - it is an emerging and a tolerant democracy. India owes much of this to its Hindu traditions.
