Buddhism or any other 'ism is the same. It's up to the people to not fall prey to racist, casteist, tendencies. there's nothing uniquely wrong with Hinduism, if brahmins are taken off the perch.

In other worlds no religion at all. But one thing it deeply cares about is caste. Isn't it beautiful even when there is no set of rules and morals people still adhere to Hinduism even after being under foreign rule for centuries together. I feel bad for people belonging to abrahamic religions in India. Most of them are living examples of whose ancestors were afraid of foreign rulers / changed religion for monetary benefits.

Its your class bigotry. an upper class xian/muslim has access to such a wide variety of culture that is amazing to be born into such families. They learn music, different languages, wider variety of stories, etc. They also have more class than the avg upper class Hindu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the most iron clad rules when it comes to caste. In fact it has the most brutal rules. It won’t give you any direction on how to lead ones life, any real relief in life tragedies, it profits even from death with expensive meaningless rituals most of which don’t even apply to non Brahmins. It basically says I don’t give a $hit just know your place and bugger off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tries to replicate western civilization trope that white nationalists use. but western civilization is on its last legs, which is why they are even talking about 'western civilization'. it is dying. It can't face the demographic threats without resorting to racist ideas. hindutva, wants to copy that, because Hindu civilization is also dying. that's my If there even a small chance that hindu civilization will it should have happened long ago. Now it's too late. Now it's not confined to geographical boundaries. Hinduism and Hindus donot have a united political goal until now I guess. But when day after day the threat of abrahamic religions is getting bigger Hindus are getting united, which has worked in favour of BJP.

Dude are you completely ignorant of the thing called reservations in India in colleges, jobs, promotions etc. There are some SC/ST reserved constituencies where the MLA can only be from SC/ST .

Witht the change of times, they realized about their shared ancestries and similarities. Same things can be applied to south states like Andhra, TN, KA, KL. But can't be related with south and north India. Indian's unity comes from the forced religion by north (though most of South don't realize that) and consolidation over the land during British rule. Go and tell about this forced hindu religion from north at temples in kerala , Tamil nadu and karnataka which are at least 800 years old. They will laugh their asses off. Infact Indian traditions and culture are well preserved in southern most states like kerala and Tamil nadu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah become peace loving Buddhists so that Gandhiji cheppinattu you won't oppose violence. Look at what happened with Bangladesh where majority of Buddhists lived once. Due to their adherence to non-violence it was easy job for invaders to convert them to Islam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job is reserved 100 percent for him , his caste and his children.Because he is “pure “ by birth and you can never be “pure “ enough no matter what you do because of your birth. Majority of Doctors want their kids to become doctors , actors are making their kids actors, politicians want their kids to take their position after they retire. It's a basic thing . Similar thing happened with all the jobs in India long back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say about the peace loving. I meant to build a homogenous society which doesn't preach the descrimination (like the caste). Sri Lanka, Myanmar are Buddist countries but they are not peaceful yet they build the cohesive societies (Simhalese. Tamil/Sinhale fight is different). And most of the Pacific Asian countries like S Korea, Japan, Thailand...have homogenous societies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about 10yrs and have a huge curiosity about it. caste exists in every nook and corner of the Indian society. No religion is an exception.
