and how would YOU know that? and by the way please define "lower castes" for me. i am sure the situation in 1947 was bad and it is much better today. the whole point is that india is progressing and not regressing. like it or not the majority of the population which is HINDU - is pushing the country in that direction.
by the way you seem to have convenient amnesia. i do remember that there were major civil rights violations in the south - which has nothing to do the majority of the people being christian.
in fact i would argue that anglo(christian)-judean values that pushed the south to be a more just and equitable society like it is today.
We started out talking Hinduism, and it seems you've switched to nationalism. I never said all Indians were guilty of these things. You seem to equate being Hindu with being Indian.....
85% of India is Hindu. You are the one attributing social issues to religion. it is like saying a robbery in delhi makes all hindus thieves. /sarcasm
But I still hold the opinion that Hindus are not such a 'peaceful' and 'passive' people as has been claimed.
dont worry some day you will get there..
Testimony of those who have been there, done that. Reading newspapers, historical information.
"and by the way please define "lower castes" for me."
The ones who are left to die in the gutter because they are paying for 'sins' from a past life.
"i am sure the situation in 1947 was bad and it is much better today."
Of course. That is what I have been saying all along.
"like it or not the majority of the population which is HINDU - is pushing the country in that direction."
Yes, the majority is Hindu. That majority has diminished somewhat in size as time has past and modernization has hit India.
"by the way you seem to have convenient amnesia. i do remember that there were major civil rights violations in the south - which has nothing to do the majority of the people being christian."
Amnesia? What a silly comment. We weren't discussing the south, we were discussing Hinduism.
For some reason, you seem to think that the repulsive actions of some idiots in the U.S. is supposed to change my mind about Hinduism. The poor actions of one group don't excuse the poor actions of another group.
"You are the one attributing social issues to religion"
Of course, because it is the religion that brought about the whole idea of the 'lower caste' to begin with. Good grief, the discussion has been about Hinduism since my first post.
"dont worry some day you will get there."
Your arrogance does nothing to validate your claims. Are you an adherent of Hinduism? I'm just curious if arrogance is a tenet of the faith.
