ravishingravi Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Being a highly complex esoteric civilization, Hinduism has become fairly open ended. The idea was to ensure that we don't get clubbed with Abrahamic religions and their dogmatic rigid belief system. It made sense since there is no religion called Hinduism. We don't have a defined book or defined ways of being. But this openness has been used against by those who seek expansion. The fault lines have been exploited. So I would say let's stop being Vishwa guru and holier than thou. Let's call it a religion with very clear DOs and DONTs. Otherwise we stand to lose in this asymmetry battle. coffee_rules and zen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 One issue is that not many understand Hinduism. Not even priests and many times the religion becomes priests’ driven (and not how it is supposed to be followed) but that is a different topic. No matter what one’s outlook is - right or wrong, keeping holy places/sites world class esp. cleanliness, not disrespecting Gods through random logos, having proper understanding of what is acceptable when talking about Gods, etc., are basic (basic of basics). ravishingravi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing a crime that happened because of the caste of the poor child to some random crimes where the victim’s caste is not even related is the exact reason why religion is not popular with younger generation. If you were in Nazi Germany, you probably would have be quoting articles about a random German killed in a fight when millions of Jews were being killed. If you don’t address casteism and pretend all is good, then good luck on making people to “Respect” Hinduism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have laws here that punishes discrimination of any kind even reverse discrimination of Brahmins that you seem to not mind at all. unlike in Germany where it was not illegal to discriminate against Jews. . Still you don’t hesitate to run the Godwin’s law of internet discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every issue will have an outlier. If 1000 women undergo domestic abuse, there will be of course some outlier case of a man getting abused somewhere. But actual stats will tell a different story. so everytime we speak about an issue, don’t try to gaslight it by bringing some outlier cases and whataboutery.

That is considered atrocity literature in this debate that’s what missionaries do. Let’s talk about how to improve from within and internalize the problem. . We are talking about how to get others to respect Hinduism. This is not about listing some random caste crimes like Stan did. Then you go about equating that crime to Nazis.
