Why count only Christianity and Islam as fanatic wiper religions , when infact Hinduism is same ?

Question

Hinduism has very cleverly camouflaged itself as a very peaceful religion in world today , acquiring sympathy and respect of many . But , how many of us know that it was priestly class of Hindus ( Brahmans ) that destroyed Buddhism and Jainism in India ?
Brahmins ( Hindus ) carried jihad / crusade against Buddhists and politically defeated Buddhist kings to subdue buddhists . Buddha was counted as avatar of vishnu ( hindu gods ) and similarly backbone of Jainism was destroyed .
Today , Sikhs are only spared from wrath of this "peaceful " religion !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_Buddhism_in_India

Pt. Nehru in his book Discovery of India mentioned this in detail. Hundreds of thousands of Buddhists were killed, others fled out of India to China and other places and thus gave birth to Buddhism outside India and those who remained stay in India were called untouchables.

Yes they did kill Jains . See this.

They Killed over 30000 sikhs aftermath of Indira alone. They burnt their houses, properties, raped their ladies. They also eliminated nearly half a million Sikhs on the name of terrorism.

Jainism has nothing to do with Hindus. Hindus have example of sacrificing animals even in Vedas. All Hindu Gods used weapons. If you consider Jainism as a pure form, you need to say Krishna, Shiva and Rama were impure Hindus. These also went to hunting.



To the smarty :

Your answer has not surprized me.

First of all whether someone is disciminated or not, you not ask the discriminator but the one who is being discriminated. This is universal practice in the court of law. A Brahman will never say he has discriminated against any Dalits, he had just followed books of his religion. So you are asking me ignore the facts and see what Hindus are doing. I have seen what Hindus are doing. One day one of my Hindu friend came to me and said, " I know very well, you do not pratice hypocrisy, but my other Hindu friends speak differently in front of me but they speak something different when they speak with you".

Yog Joy was a born Hindu and he became follower of Osho. He was in Delhi during 1984. He wrote this message in a paper. " I was looking for sardar Taxi drivers which I normally trust. They all disappeared so I had to hire someone else's threewheeler and went to the place. Besides me there was sitting a Punjabi Hindu, who expressed his sorrowness, preaised Sikhs. They were moving but they could not move further due to blockage. They saw a Sikh's shop of clothing burning. The Punjabi Hindu got out of Taxi, went to shop and brought a few rims of clothes." This is a reality. How come Rajiv got record number of seats in parliament if Hindus were unsupportive. All people who were leaders of killers got elected.

They were Gods, if they can not follow they Gods, who do they follow demons.

I just googled killing of jains by the Hindu and I found that link which I posted. This was not the only incident that happened against Jains.

Any way Killings by muslims and christians are being denied the same way, you deny Hindus. But here lies the difference you would not find a single Hindu who wrote against naming the institutions on the name of shankracharya(buddhist killer) or Indira or Rajiv.

Answer 2

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.



When the government and/or military power controls the religion, the religion becomes evil.



That is universal and no religion is exempt.



But probably Hinduism does not invite so much wrath because they don't consign people to everlasting agony.

Answer 3

WOW!!! Hats off to your knowledge. Every statement is a masterpiece.



By the way, the corrupt brahmins were never accused of spreading Hinduism, they infact kept it to themselves to exercise superiority and treating other Hindus as lower castes, so check your story again. Brahmins couldn't wipe out someone, they were just priests and never the ruling class.



Jehad is inline with Islam and Quran, but supremacy of castes is against Hindu texts. Lord Ram and Krishna were Kshatriyas (non-brahmins) and devil Ravan was a brahmin.



Good that you know Lord Buddha is a hindu god and Hindus and Buddhists are one and the same. These terms Hinduism and Buddhism were infact coined by islamic/christian invaders, who introduced the concept of different religions in Asia. Dharmic religions appreciate every honest attempt to seek God, even if it is different than yours. This is the reason why Hindus have so many Gods.



Jains are more pious Hindus who took non-violence to another level. They not only are vegetarian like Hindus, but eat only dormant plants. They walk barefooted to avoid killing even small insects. Jains are less because its a tough belief to follow, but their approach towards life is commendable. They are utterly respected as Gurus (masters) by Hindus.



Even your last statement is funny. Unlike Buddhism and Jainism, Sikkhism was the only religion that emerged from Hinduism due to disagreements with hindu beliefs. Fighting a war at night or where civilians live was prohibited in Hinduism. This is why muslims used to win every war against hindus. Some hindus adjusted the beliefs and formed a sect called Sikhs only to fight the invaders. Hindus definitely owe to them.



@Steel Boy I could not resist replying you.

Do you think every crime that happens in India or by a Hindu is due to Hinduism? If so then you are absolutely right in your allegations.



Ask any Indian whom do they consider their hero, devilish hindu king Pusyamitra who killed Buddhists or Ashoka, the great Emperor of India who dedicated his entire life to Buddhist ways. The wheel on Indian flag is dedicated To Ashoka and depicts non violence. Several bollywood films have been made on Ashoka, the pride of India.



Massacre of Sikhs was for political reasons. Power hungry Indira never even thought in favor of Hindus when she declared emrgency. When she ordered raid on Golden Temple for armaments, she was killed by Sikhs. Hence, the congress supporters killed Sikhs in revenge. It was a dark day in history of independent India but where is Hinduism in this?



That Jains were killed is a news to me, may be the other side of the world knows better.



Saying that hinduism promotes violence is like saying Mary wasn't virgin or Kaaba is somewhere in north pole. The first and last lesson of Hinduism is -- 'See God in every life form'.

I agree that there were animal sacrifices by people who had no control over taste buds and wanted to justify their act. Why are so many Hindu people vegetarians? Why do even the meat eater Hindus avoid meat on auspicious days? If the past was entirely opposite, whose culture are we following here in India? Ram wasn't just a hindu, he was God to decide birth, life and death. Moreover, he belonged to the warrior class.



Rather than coming up with facts and figures, talk to a few Hindus. They won't even share their philosophy until you urge or condemn them openly for their beliefs, forget getting gifts luring to convert you. No one wants to wipe you off, Hinduism aims for a happy world.



Also the link of blog you suggested is fanatic aiming at being different-- it says founder of Jainism ate flesh and Sanskrit is not the oldest language. Its a bit too intelligent than rest of the world.

Answer 4

Thing is, I don't care what they did 100 years ago. Anybody who, by 1911 AD had learned to not go around killing people ? They're OK by me. Also, anybody who is content to keep their insanity where THEY live and not try to spread it ? They're also OK by me. Basically, if they're not trying to destroy the whole damn world, they're OK by me.



Which leaves me hating Islam.

Answer 5

what is a "wiper" religion?



Myself, I am quite fanatical about wiping.

Answer 6
