| If we look at
the English language press of Indian, the term Hindu occurs mainly relative to various
negative appellations like fundamentalist, chauvinist or even fascist-not merely in regard
to small or fringe Hindu groups but relative to some of the largest to small or fringe
Hindu groups but relative to some of 0the largest Hindu religious groups. Even the Western news media world rarely, if ever, apply such terms
to a majority religion like Christianity or Islam in their own countries, particularly to
the largest groups representing the religions. Meanwhile I saw that non-Hindu groups are
seldom so criticized in the Indian press, which would make it appear that Hinduism is the
more intolerant than other religions, which any real Hindu knows is not the case at all. |
