HINDUISM IS REFORM ORIENTED and as a result adopts and adapts to changing circumstances.
THAT IS ONE REASON, WHY WE ARE SANATAN, besides other factors.
Bharat got independence with truncated Bhaarat with many problems
1) Celebration of partition which was anchored by Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah
2) Merciless killing of Hindus and Sikhs who migrated from Pakistan
3) Non-citizen Hindus of Independent India who migrated from Pakistan
4) An Independence which resulted in Italian virtually ruling the country and a tainted President.
Why don't we Hindus take some blame?
Other religions allow conversion but Hindus do not allow conversion people from other religions into Hinduism. We Hindus hate others and reject the untouchables.
Hinduism --- A very fragmented religion without any definition, leadership and single road (path) to follow purposeless without any force or direction -- a dying or decreasing religion. Simple is that other religions convert and grow, but we are stuck in India that too is shrinking. Punjab grown into a Sikh state, BJP is helping SPGC to destroy every bit of Hindu culture, it is a shame on the national leadership. We should support the people and organizations which promote Hinduism.
Many Hindus blame Hindus. Some of them are outsiders and some are insiders.
People should try to know whether the people who criticize Hinduism are insiders or outsiders.
If you blame Hindus as insider and say "this is wrong with us" and we should reform. Thanks we may accept and may be we will discuss it too, and if agreed we will put our shoulders together to better the situation.
BUT IF YOU SAY THIS IS WRONG WITH YOUR HINDUISM AND ATTACK IT AS AN
OUTSIDER, fie unto you. We will ask who such people are. Are such people Hindus or are having just fake Hindu name? If you are insider then share the blame and let us work together.
THIS WAS VIVEKANANDA's stand.
Leftists and Marxists have used Vivekananda's quotations to lay blame at the doors of Hinduism, BUT AS OUTSIDERS.
We welcome those who may criticize Hinduism but with sympathy and are ready to do their duty to reform constructively. Plus, No system under the son will ever be perfect. THIS IS EARTH not heaven. Hindus have always been reforming throughout history. For example -
Shankara's unification of Shad Darshanas, Krishnas introduction of Bhakti Yoga into Gita, In post Vedic times less emphasis on Yagnya, Gandhi's Harijan movement, SNDT karve's Widow reforms and Women's education, Gnyaneshwara's contribution in interpreting Gita in Marathi in the form of Gnyaneshwari, Shifting of emphasis on Bhakti during Islamic period of torture.
So what do we expect in modern times?
Bring all Hindus under one umbrella and define. Other religions have some provisions to bring the followers on one platform or under one umbrella
Muslims have Mecca and Koran
Christians have Christ, Bible, Pope and Church of England
Sikhs have SPGC and 10th Guru
Buddhist have Buddha and Buddh-Gaya
In a speech once Swami Vivekananda said the Semitic religions put all humanity in a cage with no choice of expression ignoring likings and disliking about individual’s choice about ways of worship and believing or not believing. Hinduism is not a straight jacket religion like Semitic religions. Hinduism is elastic in nature. Hindu religion defies the tyranny of homogeneity like Semitic religion.
Hindu religion is an open system. Hindus have freedom of worship and thoughts. Freedom divides the minds and sometimes even it kills. Anti Hindu people with Hindu name take advantage of freedom of thought created divisions amongst Hindus. Hindu religion is not based on one person and one book. Like Mecca Hindus have many religious centers spread all over Bharat. So Hindus are no less as compared to Semitic religion, Sikhs or Buddhists in having religious books or religious centers.
In the evening of the last 20ty century the idyll of communism was shattered and the Lies were finally laid to rest. The so called “fascist majority” is an invention of professional conscience keepers from the left liberal establishment. Christians and communists talk about angry Gods of Hinduism, after misreading and intentionally twisting Hindu scriptures. But such misquotes of followers of Semitic religion and communist have no effect on Hinduism.
Still at this point Hindus are a confused mass.
Nehru destroyed the new borne Independent Baby India from the very start along with Gandhi. But We Hindus have to take responsibility as well.
Simple fact is that other religions convert and grow, but we are stuck in Bhaarat - India that too is shrinking.
WE HAVE BEEN AWAKENED TO THIS FACT, and now the shrinking is on the decline if not dead.
We have definitely lost in the past. No disagreement.
(Hindi) --->Kintu Har na manana Jivan Hua karata Hai.
In May 2207, RSS ran 46 OTC camps training 25-26000 Volunteers.
All these youths spent their own money and tickets and learned from 5 am to 10 Pm, cleaning their plates, clothes and rest for a period of 25 +/- days at 46 different sites.
THIS HAS PLAYED PART IN REDUCING THE CONVERSION.
Some of our people are doing a great job. A volunteer teacher teaches every evening mostly in a publicly open area, a room, or under a tree or in a temple. THIS HAS PLAYED PART IN REDUCING THE CONVERSION.
But much, much still need to be done. There are not any appreciable pro-Hindu media. There is not any school of journalism where pro-Hindu journalists are prepared.
For stopping in the reduction of Hindu population, Hindus must start reconverting Muslims and Christians to Hinduism.
It will not only increase the number of Hindus, but also reduce the population of Muslims and Christians also.
Hindus must start treating schedule caste and backward caste people as equal. These people must be treated as equal and must not be discriminated due to any reason. Then Semitic people would not be able to convert schedule caste and backward people. The condition and the treatment to schedule and backward people is usually raised in the media of America and other western countries. The condition of schedule and backward must be raised so that this subject must not be raised in the world media.
We did not respect untouchables people in the past.
In the past Hindus did not respect untouchables, but this trend is changing slowly.
Slowly eroding ancient bias
Firms hiring from across Indian spectrum are helping to topple oppressive caste system

PUNE, India–As a Dalit, Pratibha Valmik Kamble is part of the poorest and most ostracized community in this subcontinent's ancient caste system, a group of people so shunned that they are still known as untouchables.
Her mother is a maid, her father a day labourer.
Yet here in this prospering city, Kamble, 24, was recently applying to an Indian firm called Temp Solutions to go to Philadelphia for a well-paid social service job there.
During the interview, she twisted her hands nervously in her lap, knowing that if she landed the position, she would not only make more money than both of her parents combined, she would enhance their social status, and her own.
India has long had an affirmative action program for federal government jobs, setting aside 23 per cent of positions for the most oppressed castes.
Now, activists are campaigning to open the private sector to them as well, whether the employer is Indian or multinational. Many Hindus favour that goal.
So does Temp Solutions co-owner Michael Thevar, himself a member of a low-ranking caste. He gave Kamble the job.
"I'm so proud of you," he told her after delivering the good news. "I know so well how much you struggled. That's why I am that much more impressed."
Kamble's eyes went wet as she straightened her mustard-coloured outfit and smiled, appearing to be almost embarrassed by his praise.
Recruiting drives aimed at hiring members of India 's unprivileged castes, who make up 70 per cent of the population, remain rare in the subcontinent's booming service sector. But as India hurtles into world markets, such hiring has touched off a larger debate over the country's 3,000-year-old caste system.
"Caste should not be globalized, and as India rises economically, that is the real fear," said Thevar.
"I think this is the moment in India for us all to stand up and tell the world that we are capable. There is no longer such a thing as untouchable in the world."
The issue here is complicated by India 's turbulent history of race, class and caste. Centuries-old customs of arranged marriages and inherited professions perpetuate caste divisions, which are further reinforced by some interpretations of Hinduism, India 's dominant religion, which sanctions the caste system.
Independence for Bharat came for followers of Semitic religion and Nehru Family
Koi Chara Nahin Dua Ke Sivay
Koi sunta Nahin Khuda Ke Sivay
Gandhi family is adamant since independence
The strategy of survival of Hinduism is constantly modified according to exigencies of power and the ingenuity of its practitioners.

Why Hinduism does not convert?
1. The Priests and Mathadhipatis do not know the caste in which the newly admitted person is to be fitted.
2. The Priests and Mathadhipatis are busy accumulating gold. In the month of Aug. 2007, in Tamil Nadu, a swami/amma inaugurated a gold temple investing Rs. 300 crores of gold!
3. For low caste Hindus, Hinduism is a cage. Even when they convert, the ignominy of low caste is being carried forward to the semitic religions.
