  1. Some Hindus, not most. You'll be surprised to know that some Sikhi actually believe that Sikhism is a re-purification of Bhakti Hinduism and a branch of Sufi Islam. Others believe it is a direct revelation from God. Some Jews and some Christians even believe that Islam is a mix of the two. Diverse views hena? No definition justifies the true meaning of Hinduism. In the early days, Hindus did not feel the need to define the essentials of Hinduism or to prove it different from other religions until Buddhism came about as well as the invasion of Muslims and Christians. Much to your surprise, the term itself has its origins in Sanskrit language. 'Sapta Sindhu' - the land of the great rivers(I think). Im not gonna explain all because I assume you have very little attention span. And also, if you were a little more educated you would know that the Greeks and Persians invaded India well before the British. Its called cultural diversity my friend. Factors such as geography, social caste, demography cannot be ignored, do you even know how far the North of India is from Colombo? I dare to think that there are more like yourself out there. I believe with 'Hindu monkeys' you refer to those neo-Hindutva followers, but 'monkey tale of a religion'? You should really think twice before speaking about somebody else's belief like that.
  2. In a nutshell thats correct, especially the current face of Indian Hindutva. Because they are misinterpreting the true meaning of Hindutva. The truth is, nobody would have bothered to differentiate between Hinduism and Hindutva if it wasnt for the right-wing political parties in India. The current face of Hindutva is therefore political and secular and not spiritual or religious, meaning that it does not stand for Hinduism but rather a cultural and oppressive nationalism. Non-Hindus will have secondary status under such a reign and as all of you have said...its wrong. The true Hindutva accepts all forms of belief and worship as sacred and if this was implemented properly, it would be a freedom state where all religions in India(Hindusim, Sikhism, Islam, Buddhism, Jains etc) would peacefully co-exist. But as always, humans are the driving force in misusing and ill-practising religion. So therefore whoever believes in hindutva, please come back to the practices of ahimsa, shakti and dharma.
