Hinduism is the identity of India
from vedic period of human existence. The very identity was even confirmed and
named as Hindustan by the people who invaded us to conquer by all means. Perhaps
this is the only faith which thought us to worship the things with which we
survive i.e the five elements (the Air, Fire, Water, Land and Sky).
Every
living thing in the world is regarded as divine since at some stage or the
other they tend to influence their significance in human life. A visit to any temple near to a hillock or near to a
river replenishes the troubled mind and recharges it. The divine characters attributes
that are essential to become a supreme human being who can empower this nature
with divinity are indoctrinated to human deities like Rama, Krishna, etc. Hindus worship human as a supreme knowledgeable creature on earth, admire the human qualities that favor universal togetherness, chant human attributes in terms of ved matras to remember and implement in their lives.
Every
mythology is a case that explains what type of life you lead, how to live in a
society, how different stages of life influence the human attitude and how to
overcome the challenges. Each avatar of Hindu vedic period has an ultimate
purpose to teach, has a unique path to propose, has an extraordinary conclusion
to enlighten.
As decades passed, centuries counted Hinduism
branched into castes and sects according to their profession,
according to their wealth, according to their status earned till that time.
This was the time when the insecurity chased the native Indian community who otherwise lived in harmony with nature. Our past reminds us about the disparity created among the niche professional community like the kings court officials, the pundits and priests,the tradesmen etc and inferior professional community who live in remote areas, the housekeeping community, the barbers etc.
Even after independence efforts were made to bring the dalits, the girijans into the modern society with little success to cherish. The internal clash among higher castes and lower castes was used to the create social divide and to separate the Hindu fraternity in India. The same socio-economic divide is the trump card for all anti-social elements and politicians that is making the normal peace loving Hindu fraternity more bothered to live.

There are movies that question
Hindu traditions; there are organizations continuously targeting Hindu customs
followed at their temples and prayer halls, Attacks on Hindus and Hindu temples
are hardly reported on paid and up-paid media. WHY???????
However there is hardly anyone to question the customs and traditions of other faiths that were forced on this sub-continent for the last 400years. Indian family planning rules are only applicable to Hindus others are at their will to go for multiple marriages and kids.
How many know about vandalizing Madurai temple, very few??
Very soon in the next 20 to 30years Hindus will be on Minority side heading towards a wipeoff by more aggressive faiths around.
The only remedy to this is to
imbibe self-pride in all Hindus. Implement all constitutional rules and
regulations equally among all faiths.
