| As a Westerner
who has studied the deeper side of Hinduism and learned how much Hinduism is
misrepresented and misunderstood. I have been compelled to speak out on these issues.
Greater communication on these issues would probably go far in correcting this anti-Hindu
prejudice. Given the extent of the problem it will take time to correct and the vested
interests who are opposed to it will not give in easily. However there are now those who are presenting the Truth and the old distortions
will no longer go unchallenged. In closing, I am not saying that Hindus have not
done anything wrong or that there is nothing questionable about Hindu political groups or
social practices.
Hindus must take it upon themselves to reform there
society, which is badly needed, but this should be done according to the soul of India,
which is Dharma, not according to Western political, intellectual or religious ideologies,
which are generally adharmic, that is unspiritual, however modern or well-funded they may
be. |
