| In particular,
Thapar tries to show that the non-violence and tolerance generally ascribed to Hinduism
are myths that Hindus or India never really followed. There are a few historical in
stances of Hindus being violent or oppressive of Buddhists and Jains, which she
emphasizes. There are also historical
instances of Buddhists being oppressive of non-Buddhists. Such is the egoism inherent in
human nature that is difficult to root out. But these are exceptions. There is no Hindu or
Buddhists tradition of crusades or holy wars like that of Western religions of
Christianity and Islam there is a tradition of non-violence (ahimsa), which however
imperfectly followed, was honored in India more so than anywhere else in the world. |
