Often times the people of India are wrongly referred to as Hindus when Hindus are only the people practicing Hinduism. These people follow the strict yet simple rules of the religion; the cast system and the Vedas. These are to be respected and influence the peoples daily life and have done so ever since their creation. The rituals are not questioned and are everyday affairs. Some of the traditions may have seemed a bit barbaric to the British at their time of rule however the people were used to them and treated them with great care.
Hinduism’s Origin and Progress from Early History.
Hinduism: The Life of Its Developing Members
The history of Hinduism begins in Ancient India, where the followers of Guru Nanak became well known and revered. They came to India in a wide range of ways: they gained a reputation for devotion and good qualities, they received education and many went on to obtain the skills necessary to acquire higher social and technical skills in government, business, education, and so on. Many became powerful, so those who had attained the highest level of political power were selected for such things. These qualities also had a certain power and ability. However, the way the people felt was their power and the way they lived, which was their personal story. All this was achieved through the training of women.
The first women were required to serve as the spiritual guides and teachers of the followers. The number of women who had attained the highest level of power in the society was high and the number who did not perform the duties of power was a significant matter. When the women started to marry during a period of prosperity as this was being experienced through their birth, they were given training of how to lead, so as to avoid conflicts with the others. They also learnt a very high quality of manners which they did not understand as they did not know how to behave in society.
The Hindu women followed a narrow path which was not suitable for the general welfare of society. They came on a strictly personal basis which was not suited to the status quo. However, they still followed their strict duties as guardians and did not tolerate any deviation of the norms of the religion and especially of the ways of the women. They also did not follow their traditional lifestyle which was different from what the typical people used to do. They also practiced the traditional faith of life which required the spiritual work of every man and woman. They were not the kind who should abandon a wife and an innocent child to care for their spiritual carers.
In their youth the women made an impression on men even more as they had learned to love those who were close to them and for the whole world to be at peace with the human situation. At the same time, the women learnt to play the roles of the man and the female who made up their followers. They had been entrusted with their own lives and they had no obligations in that way. This led them to become very sensitive and sensitive to their surroundings in the way that any human life is always governed by the laws of life that governs it. In short, women had to remain on the good side of man and of man’s good side to be able to do their job efficiently in society. As a result this was how they were used to and treated the men around them as servants, or as brothers in their own right as well. These traits were not only beneficial in the society, but they also led some of
It can be said that Hinduism is and has been an asset to the people of India ever since it creation and that it has had more positive effects than negative ones.
As the Aryans left the Indian peninsula they left behind them the necessary elements to create a new religion; Hinduism. The people of India gathered what had been left and used it to found Hinduism. They created the Vedas that are as the Bible for the Christians and instated the caste system. The caste system is the basis of Hinduism. Each Hindu has his place in the caste according to his social class and may never change caste during his current life. This caste system also helped to maintain order and unity among the Indian states. Hinduism was spreading wildly and is currently the first and most important religion in India. At the top of the Caste system are the Brahmins that are the priests of Hinduism. No one is able to be above them because they are the closest to the gods and are almost perfect. All the Hindus belong to a cast according to their job and the job of their father. The only way any of them could change caste is by reincarnation. This possibility to change cast motivated many to work harder and lead honest lives creating order amongst the people. It shows how Hinduism is a great factor of influence in their lives and that if they abide by it it is as a form of government.
Hindus did not need to go to church every day or pray in a specific way and at a specific time, all they needed to do was to follow the Vedas and obey the caste system. This point attracted many people to the religion because most people did not have time to spare for such things and needed to get on with their work. Their contribution to Hinduism was their work and on occasions their prayers to the gods they worshiped. This brings up another point which is the one of the several Hindu gods. The Hindus believed in different gods according to their wishes. There are a variety of gods and any Hindu is free to chose the one or ones he wishes to pray to. Therefore the people found the religion more personal and were able to identify with it better.
Hinduism has several important traditions that needed to be respected. One of them was Suttee. This tradition was not widespread however largely used around the area of Bengal. It consisted of burning the widows of dead men of the upper cast. Most of these women went voluntarily to be burned to show their love and devotion to their husband however some others were pushed by their families and peers. Another tradition specific to Hindus is that of female child infanticide. Most families only wished to have boys to perpetrate the traditions and family line but that was not always the case and sometimes they had girls. In the majority of the cases this was unacceptable and they immediately abandoned the child or killed it and left it to be eaten by the savage animals. These traditions although somewhat barbaric to us were perfectly normal and acceptable to the Hindus. However this may be one of the points which tarnishes Hinduisms good philosophys. The Vedas contained all the Hindus needed to know about their religion and their duties towards it. The Brahmins expected every Hindu to know his duties and to respect them. If it ever occurred that a Hindu did not follow the rules his punishment would vary from execution to excommunication or more simply a fine and a purification ceremony. These rituals and obligations were there to help the Hindus to get closer to their gods and to live a more fulfilling life. They had a major impact and were as the law for them.
India however did not only have Hindus. There were also Muslims, Buddhists and many more. Unfortunately as in most parts of the world nothing can function without a war breaking out and this is exactly what happened between the Muslims and the Hindus. Both religions were trying to take over power and Gandhi
was trying to prevent a possible split which would weaken the country. However this split occurred between the two religions and a Muslim country was formed and is now called Pakistan. The Hindus on their part stayed in India and developed both their culture and religion setting it even more in the every day life and way of thinking. The problem that occurred with the partition was that there were Hindus living in modern day Pakistan and Muslims in India. Therefore they all had to be transferred back to their country creating massive housing and accommodation problems. This split although feared by Gandhi
was not all that bad after all. It enabled both sides to go more into depth with their theories and traditions. Now India was basically ruled by Hinduism although Buddhism and other smaller religions still reigned there.
A problem encountered by the Hindus was that the state was refusing to accept the long perpetrated tradition of the caste system. It thought that this was a great cause for discrimination and should be abolished but if they really thought about it although it is discriminative towards the people it does create a sort of order amongst them which could never exist if the rules of Hinduism were not to be followed exactly as they are. The caste system never really disappeared and still in modern day India can be seen in certain areas. However one of the main disadvantages of this system is the fact that people are only allowed to marry into their caste making marriage a limited option but on the other hand marriage was decided by the parents anyway so it should not really matter.
The caste system is based on their culture and they are not really able to understand the nature of the caste system as it is rooted in the Hindu tradition of caste. Hinduism, when it has been abolished was a religion with the religious scriptures and if we want to know the religion of what is real then we are looking at caste system. There is no sense in giving up what was made valid and only accepting the caste system.
The caste system in India is based on the family and is based on the one who holds over the father-mother-son and so it should not really need to be abolished or the family would be forced to have some kind of special place to themselves. It would be a lot easier for a married person to give up their caste so it might not be an issue but it is still the right thing to do. They should be allowed to marry if they want as it is the mother-son of one of the father-fathers. This is not so a formative moment for the family so that they can be independent and in some way they would be protected under a national law like some other nation which could provide some kind of protection to the families.

They could start with a new system but that is still a very complex system that will take a long time to understand the changes coming that will impact upon them.

How do you reconcile that with that. How do you reconcile that with that. How do you reconcile that with that. Who cares about this? They have got to do it. We just don’t have a lot of time to do this and the issue is this: the police has to do it for us and there is no place for it in this country.
What do you think about this? The police has to do it for us and there is no place for it in this country. Why? Why? Why not just take a couple of things off the table to make certain the change comes to happen.
SJ: What is your attitude towards the situation in India when Hindus, in the West are struggling against the Dalits in order to create the political forces of democratic control over the state and the ruling class will be working against them?
DH: We stand against Dalits and they have a voice. We cannot be allowed to work as people fighting for India to lead we need to fight against these reactionary forces. We cannot work against the right wing for the sake of social control of the state. We only want to lead a country with good elections but we want to fight on every level with the right wing and we respect the government of the country as much as we can. We are against oppression and do not want the government acting as our own power.
SJ: If you take a position as a Dalit I suggest you do not work too hard but why are you trying to push the situation further and if we are going to make a difference at all, will you change the state and keep your hand on the ball?
DH: We believe in the people and in democracy and we know we cannot make it up on ourselves or our own. We have to take responsibility for it. We have said many times that we want to keep the state running but that is not possible because our people have chosen for us to lead. These sentiments are different and if we stay with the Dalit people and our political forces that is what we are focused on. We have the right to organize and fight. We are not waiting for any political or other government to force us to abandon our caste system. We have to take our hand and bring about a genuine democratic movement. The Dalit people don’t want the big business owners to see us come in and take our hands. I want them to look at us as our community and understand there are more Dalits in our community than the rest of our society. The big industrialists can’t live this way but
Hinduism is in a way not only its own religion. It takes its roots in several others and the others take root in Hinduism it is as a compilation of different religions with each their own specificitys
