Abstract

Hinduism is not a religion as such but a way of life as even the Supreme Court adhered to this edict. The problem of calling it Hinduism arose because religions which came after it had their own founders, whether it was Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity or Islam. Under the circumstances there was no option but to give it an identity. It is probably the only religion in the world which has no founder. Hindus easily convert to other religions because they are indoctrinated with the thought that all religions are the same. Unlike the adherents of other religions like Judaism, Christianity or Islam they do not feel that they are committing a blasphemy by accepting a new faith. In fact there are instances where they are encouraged to do so if they feel that they are not happy in following Hinduism. Another great thing about Hinduism is that one can practice another faith without losing one's identity of being a Hindu. It can never be the neither way round. If someone converts from Hinduism to Islam or Christianity, in no time that person will become a Hindu baiter conveniently forgetting the fact that at one time he/she had Hindu blood flowing in his/her veins. Hindus are becoming more vocal now than before it is because they have suffered all types of heartaches, pains and tortures for being kind to the followers of other religions whose home was never India but India let them make it their home. Now though they are still in a majority, in no time will they be decimated with government moves in pampering the minorities at their expense and students will read in their history books that there existed at one time a great religion called Hinduism but due to their great sense of tolerance they let others rule over them without fighting back just to maintain harmony and make others feel at home.
