This article is from a series of questions
answered by Shekhar Bodhakar
The questioner is assuming that
Hinduism is alive in India. The Hindu religion hasn't even been born yet, let
alone will it survive. Will it ever be born?
There is no such religion
called ‘the Hindu religion’. Nor did it ever exist. What people ‘normally’ refer
to as the Hindu “religion”, Hinduism, is really the Brahmanic way of life,
Brahmanism. It was only those with ulterior motives (mainly for political
hegemony), who promoted and are still promoting the term Hinduism as a
religion, whilst pretending otherwise.
In essence,
Hinduism=Casteism (A person who
professes to have a caste identity is said to follow casteism)
AND
Casteism = Hinduism
I am equating Hinduism with casteism because:
1. If you ask a person who calls
her/himself a Hindu, whether they have a caste identity or not, the answer will
invariably be YES of course they do.
2. If you ask a person who doesn’t profess
to have a caste identity what religion they belong to, they will never say
Hinduism
Read: Is Hinduism a religion or a way of life?
(Apologies for the video in Hindi. The speaker is
the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, admitting that Hinduism is not a
religion).
Since Hinduism is not a
religion, the largest religion in India is Islam.
Before 1921 no Brahmin ever
referred to themselves as belonging to the Hindu religion. (VEDIC BRAMHINS are themselves claiming that THEY
ARE NOT Hindus ! )
The terms ‘Hindu’ or ‘Hinduism’ (their Sanskrit equivalents) do not appear in
any of the Brahmanic holy books. Nor did the Brahmins ever consider themselves
belonging to the same dharma as any non-Brahmin. Dharma is very commonly but
incorrectly translated as religion.
Dharma means Duty and
responsibility. The dharma (duties and responsibilities, not religions) of a
Brahmin differs from the Shudra dharma. .
For Example :
1. Since the creation of the 'Four Varna Dharmas', there has never been a Shudra Shankracharya because the dharma of the Brahmins and dharma of the Shudras are not the same.
2. What percentage of the
population of Brahmins are manual scavengers? We can safely say, "ZERO" because
according to the Brahmin shastras, manual scavenging is the untouchable’s
dharma (duty) not the Brahmin’s dharma.
It makes no sense (for a people
who know that there is no such religion called Hinduism) to :
Repeatedly keep asking
questions about the ‘Hindu religion’,
eg Will Hinduism survive in
India?
Or How
old is the Hindu religion?
(Extract from another >> What is the meaning of the word Hindu?)
The term Hindu,
short for Hindustani was first used by the Persians. To the Persians and
the Arabs, the word Hindu meant all the derogatory words you
can think of.. Black, Thief, Kaffir, Slave.
A Hindu was a geographical, not
religious, identity until the disintegration of Hindostan/Hindustan into Pakistan, India,
Bangladesh, Nepal. The Hindus, of what was then Hindustan, are now called
Pakistanis, Indian, Nepalis, Bangladeshis etc —just as the Soviets of the then
Soviet Union are now called Ukrainians, Russian, Lithuanians etc. THERE ARE NO MORE SOVIETS OR HINDUS because there is no more a Soviet Union or Hindustan.
NOTE: Many scholars, including Brahmin scholars,
say that the word ‘Hindu’ is NOT a mis-pronunciation of 'Sindhu' by the
Persians, as some would like you to believe, for..in Persian both, the
'S-sound' and the 'H-sound' are clearly pronounced
They believe that this
suggestion is a diversion tactic to hide from the masses the original meaning
of the word 'Hindu'
(Video in HINDI-
Origin of the term ‘Hindu’ watch from 5 MIN 15 SEC TO 9 MIN. The
speaker is a Brahmin scholar).
The next question to ask would be : WILL INDIANISM SURVIVE IN INDIA (Hindostan hasn't)?
