In his last India visit, Akshat Sir gave me this book title: Bing Hindu. I was not keen on reading it because of the title. I was cynical with the book title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book talks about our golden age, history, and many intellectuals. It also talks about how westerners came, plundered, and erased our past. I could not understand what the author was trying to imply with the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My definition of being Hindu is above any religious bindings but more on the way of life, Independence, self-realization, and caring for nature. I do not incline towards the bigotry paddled via various establishments claiming to be the flag bearers of our religion. A Hindu is not attached to a temple, sect, or political affiliation but how he thinks, lives, and cares for overall humanity. The violence, loot, and worshipping of any persona is propaganda and lies for the interest of a few. It is not Hinduism. The media is biased; the action of a few for their self-interest should paint entire others with the same paintbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hinduism never sent evangelicals to destroy monasteries or convert the universe under one roof. It does not preach about salvation or moksha by converting others to a particular religion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who are associating Hinduism with a religion, sect, or ideologies are doing it for their personal gain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
