Have you read all the Hindu scriptures Mr. Ish? On what basis you have made such an statement. As a man made system Hinduism may have had many a things on which a second thought was required. You must be aware that Hinduism always provided the freedom and scope to dabate and improve, that is why there is a sayingh in Upanishada "neiti", that means this is not the ultimate truth and let the Truth come from all the sides and directions. That is why  we had our rishi " Valmiki" who was a Dalit and who wrote Ramayana, and we had  Raja Bharat (on whiose name our country is known as Bharat) who adopted a Dalit's son and made him his successor, he was Raja "Shantanu"; due the the flexibility only " Raja Ram ate  the palm from the hands of a Dalit lady Shabari and he embraced a  Kumbhar who was a Dalit; Mira bai a Khshtriya touched the feet of Swami Raidas and Swami Raidas is a respected Sadhu in Hinduism. Sant Kabir (though born from a Brahmin girl) was brought in a Julaha family, he is a great sant admired and worshipped by Hindus. Hinduism was never a "single path religion" there were and there are different paths  and Darshanas- Adwaita, Dwaita . The  possibility and scope for the philosophical and intellectual debate  which is offered in in Hinduism has produced Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism from its womb. These religions have had  strong differences from Hinduism but they all share the same philosophical saying of Vedas that " Sataya meve jayate" and " Sarve Bhavanu Sukhinaha"; And why you people crib only about Hinduism and never say about the religion which according to you "theoretically gives equality" but practically force people to convert their religion, not because they want to change it but because thay are offered  bread ion return of that act. Arent you aware of the Huge Money coming from the western countries; they offer money  in the form of scholarships and foreign trips ad convert people religion" Cant they server for nothing in return? The Hindus never ever forced Parsis or Jews to convert; they even never tortured them Otherwise we would not have had people like Gen.Manik Shaw and Tatas. If you are impressee by the kind of theoritical equality which oother religions provide (with due respect to them), then please  look at teh way in which Indian Hindue are being treated in Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan.And  more about the heoritical equality :  Why we have Azalaf and Asharafs among Muslinma; and  if you want to know how equality is practiced within Christianity please  go down south where watch a documentray made by A Dalit Christians have different churches. And please stop making offensive statements against Hinduism in the name od freedom of expression and democracy. I am sure you cant dare to give such an statement (may be in a good sense) or even  suggest  for the reformatory steps, because you knoe thet they will not buy it and it will turn into a  "Denish  Cartoon Propoganda".

Well said Ish Mishra

The problem with hindus is the narrow mindedness and fixed ideas!!.

If you negate the religious beliefs that the hindus possess thus far, are there

any beliefs or human values the hindus can teach another humans??.

In the thousands of years of human civilization with or without religous

presence, lots of improvements and better understanding of human lives took

place in this very world we live, but hindus never changed nor realized that

India is so uncivilized even in 21st century where mass murder, carnages and

Khairlanji massacres keep happening?.

If hindu religion or system is so great or has superior values as the hindus

beat about it, why are we even having this very conversations in this message

group, is in't that we will be enjoying life happily and sharing it with fellow

humans in India and the world, no no we are not?. We see fighting in India in

every direction we see,

1. there is a fight against hindu caste system (divisive, virulent, dangerous

and human killing system of hindu religion) Why?.

2. why we see so much communal violence against other religious and minority

people?

3.why we see so much poverty but hindu riches get richer and the poor gets

poorer and marginlised for ever and ever?

4.if hindus who pray the one million different gods and goddesses think they are

pure humans, how come they lack the very fundamental human valus of treating

other humans with dignity and respect? why?

5. if hindu religion is so great, why not hindu religion absorbed by people all

over India and the world,

and why only christinity and Buddhism has world wide appeal and followers?,

infact Buddhism is a national relgion of so many of nations and

Christianity is also national religion of many countries, even Islam is to some

extent national religion in many countries, why not hindu religion took over the

whole world because it is such a great religion? why not?

What does these truth and reality teaches us?.

if hindu's are so great as they propogate and trumphet, why is that they cannot

even look at a suffering human in their neibourhood and help uplift,

we have about 40% of the people live below poverty line in India, searching for

their next meal?. in this same country, the filthy hindus are the richest people

on this planet, where do you go with such religious system?.
