I have Sir, and perhaps the reason it has 5 likes (not that i really care)  could be because deep down we know its true (even thought we don&#039;t say it openly)]]></description>

&quot;       the more distance you travel from the Hindi heartland the less “Hindu” the region becomes , and that also proportionate to their understanding of Hinduism.    &quot;

How did this stupid comment get 5 likes?

Have you ever been to any place in India that&#039;s not &quot;cow-belt&quot;, Delhi, Mumbai, or Kolkata?]]></description>

I am surprised with low response, almost ignorance, on assertions that Hinduism is a fantasy, Rig Veda was edited and the non-existence of castes before English. Maybe because it is coming from one (English educated) Indian scholar? I was expecting to see the reaction of the BP_Brown_Pundit_Man who, as a semi-official watchdog, should give a seal of approval for non-erroneous theories. Instead, he/she may want to tell us if the caste (like) system existed among the grassland (steppe, Scythian, alien) guys. After that we may try to draw some further conclusions.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt; where there is one defined scripture, a priesthood etc. Hinduism wasn’t defined that way so perhaps &lt;/i&gt;

this seems wrong. brahmins are obviously priests. and buddhists and jains both have religious officials. as for scripture, hindus had the vedas.

i think &#039;western&#039; probably more accurately describes an exclusive communal identity defined by confessional belief.]]></description>
