| Modern Hindus
in India see the tremendous social problems of India today, which they tend to blame on
the Hindu religion. This is rather strange because India over forty years ago and prior to
that had the foreign rule of the British for two hundred years and over five hundred years
of Islamic rule by Afghans and Turks before that, who all along have been blaming the
Hindu religion for the problem of India under their rule. India has not been under predominantly Hindu rulers for the better
part of a millennium. How can such rulers be the cause of the condition of the country
today? However, a new movement is now developing to
counter to this Westernization phase. A number of Hindus today are looking to rediscover
their Hindu roots, and this has also become a strong movement among Hindu emigrants to
foreign countries. |
