about the virtues of eschewing the barbaric & offensive principles, of the practise of monotheism. A La Turkey.
They need to be educated properly in history & true secularism for that. There also needs to be strong laws
which give primacy to secularism, not just provide lip service.
The day they raise against the Muslim Extremists, those movements will just turn to dust.
Regarding Muslim PM. I outlined some of the qualities of a good PM. If a muslim individual has the same qualities, then he/she comes up due to their own merit. But one of the cornerstones of that person is that they realize the value polytheistic religions bring to the culture of India and understand to need and sustain it. Only then will they move away from
adopting the offensive monotheistic principles of Islam. They also need to understand that polytheistic religions mean no harm to monotheistic religions, as their doctrine is pacifist.
If US Ambassador Blackwill from Kansas can understand that, so can these people.
My point on the main post, still remains valid, and if you have anything to contribute there please say so. This is a diversionary tactic which I would not like to fall into.
From what you seem to write, you seem to have more or less similar views as what I have, on the main topic, so I do not see a need to issue any rejoinders.
This is an excerpt from Wikipedia on polytheism.
"The system prevalent in many sects of Hinduism is defined by the soft polytheistic Smartha philosophy and sect."
wikipedia is not the last word on any subject. i maintain that hinduism is not a polytheistic religion.
>>> dravidian gods in modern hinduism: a study of the local and village deities.
even north indians worship a multitude of gods and goddesses. not many people take the trouble to read the original texts. The foremost representatives of orthodox hinduism like Adi Sankar, Madhava, Ramanuja, and others all agree to there being one god. when budhist and jain atheists (like the jain philosopher Gunaratna) refute the hindu notion of God they are refuting a monotheistic definition of God. the upanisads explicitly state that there is only one god.
Exactly my point. Hope you will remember your CLEARCUT statement that you made here. I will use this against Islamists in some other thread and let us see you agree with me when I criticize the Islamis on similar grounds.
Back to your discussion on Hinduism with the Chief Mullah of CH.
Pandit Rashmun
Have you read your Koran today ? and do your Namaz (remember to face Makah realizing that you are in US).

But, you yourself claim that I am a RSS wallah and a Hindu fundamentalist and at the same time you call me a Mullah...
See how inconsistent you are and never TRY TO make any sense - just saying whatever comes to your mind.
So what am I ? A Mullah or a findamentalist ? Make up your mind and we can stick to your definition.

Of course...it is well established and we understand your inadequacies.
When it started it probably was truly polytheistic with many gods who were not linked to each other but somewhere down the line they have become many facets of one god rather than going down the jewish route that got rid of all the old gods and replaced it by a one god and one god only concept.
The sublime philosophy of the Hindus declares that God is one. God is the ultimate divine Reality. The ancient sages of Hinduism clearly stated, "The Reality is One, the wise ones refer to It variously (by various terms)." We have the significant announcement, "Ekam sat, vipraha bahudha vadanti." This truth they declared when they spiritually discovered It through their direct personal experiences granted by Divine Grace. Therefore, a real follower of true Hinduism knows and therefore firmly believes that the Divine Reality or God is one and non-dual. Even though Hinduism is mistakenly regarded by many as a religion having many gods namely, polytheism, yet truly speaking Hinduism is a monotheistic religion. It is a religion that long long ago, before any other religion had appeared in this world, had discovered that there is only ONE GOD. Later on our spiritual ancestors, the sages of God-experience and illumined vision, attained also the knowledge that the various religions of man are like so many different ways and paths that finally lead to this ONE God who is behind and beyond all religions including Hinduism. The Supreme Almighty Being (God) does not belong to any religion. Because, God existed even before this universe and mankind were created, even before any religions have come into existence. All religions belong to God. Because, He is the source as well as the final destination of all religions that exist.
