| HINDUISM UNDER SIEGE AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE | |

religious groups are very concerned about the state of their
minority religious groups in India. Islamic and Christian groups
carefully monitor the condition of Muslims and Christians in India,
try to support them, to prevent their reconversion to Hinduism, and
protest against any discrimination against them. The same groups
have little concern for Hindu minorities in their own countries,
which in the case of Islamic countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh
are routinely oppressed.
Where they are a majority they target their Hindu minorities for conversion. Yet Hindus never challenge them on their double standard. They do not criticize their poor treatment of Hindus or the distortions about Hinduism that are prevalent in their media. Therefore the question arises, as Hinduism remains under siege by missionary religions, why should Hindus quietly tolerate these missionary efforts under the guise of religious harmony?Hindus must be very careful in proclaiming the unity and value of all religions when certain religions are still attacking them. When a country is under siege or when foreign armies are occupying it, it is silly for the country to talk about tolerating and respecting the hostile invaders, trying to make them feel at home and or honored in what they are attempting! On the contrary, the people of the country must arise to defend their land and culture, and condemn the aggressors as wrong and immoral. |
