Blaming Hinduism for Caste discrimination is like blaming Christianity for racial discrimination, slavery, lynching of black people and their brutal dehumanization and colonization of people of color that happened all the way since the beginning of Industrial revolution.

i am sorry but slavery has nothing to do with christianity. in fact christianity has a lot to do with abolishing slavery. Lincoln as did many abolitionists thought slavery as anti-God. This is a documented fact.

anglo-judean values have only preached equality, and respect for life. for example: the british rule of india was benign as compared to the islamic rule that killed an estimated 100 million hindus.

missionaries still spread false notions about Hinduism and belittle hindus in a condescending way.

there are different kinds of missionaries. mother teresa is an example of the good kind. she loved india and from the pictures i have seen of her - seemed to have made india her home. you should differentiate the good from the bad. there are missionaries (benny hinn..yuck..) that treat christianity like a business.

it is true that hindus are a pacifist and a benign people. i have read willie durant and my personal impression of india is that it is a progressive and tolerant society when left to itself.

I bet many white folks in this country might be tempted to put back their white robes and hoods on and start lynching N****rs..

Some people just want to use history as an excuse. There is enough opportunity for people of all races - men or women in america. Which is why you are here :-)))))))))...

Well, yes.. while Lincoln and some northerners were against it, most southerners, rallied on by their Baptist church, were endorsing it.

My point is: slavery/racism==caste discrimination. Thats why Hinduism is just as culpable as christianity in this regard.

Yes, there are some good missionaries lik MT. Just like ordinary decent christians back home, who unlike MEGoody & co, dont insult people who dont belong to their faith and are easy to get along with.

Of course, I appreciate the oppurtunities :) Most Americans I know are quite good natured and tolerant.
