This prevents
Hindus from understanding other religions or from communicating to them what Hinduism
really is. It also makes Hindus vulnerable to be deceived by members of other religions
who take a liberal appearance to attract Hindus, not because it represents what they truly
believe. We should note that both Christianity and Islam in India have taken on many Hindu
elements and that the mysticism Hindus see in these religions generally has its roots in
India and is much rarer in the countries wherein these religions predominate.
Hindus don't appear to know how to dialogue with those of other religious beliefs. They
think they must either agree with whatever members of other religions propose (interpreted
in a Hindu mystical light) or that they must ignore them and go their own way, keeping to
themselves, and not expressing any contrary opinions (as if different religions were like
sovereign nations). Hindus appear to think that it is a sin to disagree with non-Hindus on
religious matters, however much non-Hindus may disagree among themselves, and however much
non-Hindus may criticize Hinduism! This is curious because classical India was the
opposite. |
