You INVAR are an ignorant arrogant jerk.

Really..Hinduism and Islam are equally bad ?

Have Hindus killed over 300 million globally and counting ? When was the last senseless act of mass murder committed by a Hindu in the name of their religion ?

This happens daily with Muslims.

You want to compare how women are treated in any Muslim nation vs Hindu India ? No it is far from perfect but there is nothing remotely close to the horror called sharia law.

Amazing how ignorant you are or just plain bigoted.

You need to be less passionate and more objective before calling people ignorant and bigoted, that is the charge of the lazy class who turn a blind eye to Hindu atrocities, the filth of the Ganges culture, and a religion with institutionalized casteism.

Steel -- Hinduism and Islam are not comparable in terms of "bad" -- we may disagree with their beliefs, but in their actions of persecutions, they are completely different.

"Age of enlightenment" is a nice term bandied about for French anti-religiosity. that's let to the militant atheists in the US. So India escaping that is fine.

Women in Hindu India are not treated the same as women in Iceland, but that depends on which parts of India -- there are myriad cultures from the patriarchal to the matriarchal in India
