Hindus hate Christianity for the very reason it destroys their caste system. Equating God's election with the law of karma is unbiblical."It may be unbiblical in origin but in practice it is no different than the election theology advocated by Calvin and his derivative followers.

You can blame Calvin all you want to, but he didn’t make up the doctrine, it’s found throughout the bible. I’m not even strictly a Calvinist, but I can read the bible for myself.

The difference is that in true Christianity God elects according to His good pleasure alone (Ephesians 1) and in all other pagan philosophies some entity other than God supposedly elects or men elect themselves.
Read the Bible to learn why you believe.
