The river maybe holy but still does not make it clean, very disgusting. The same river you wash clothes, discard ashes, dead human and animal bodies are found floating is the same in which you use to cleanse the physical body. That does not make it sanitary. If its so holy maybe hindus as hole should preserve it better, just saying.
cultural and moral filth is from hell, difficult to rid of. Material filth and disease is easy to get around. For instance, if you love India so much, as you aver, it will not be tough to find a place free from filth. Disease cannot be avoided if you mix with filth or do filthy things like promiscuous sex.Don't forget India is home to more than a billion humans.
take blind hokus pokus, throw in racism( caste system) control population thru stupid rules, treat people especially dalits like animals and worship animals and stoones and have no thoughts of what is fair or right and you'll get hindu religion. they dont believe in God either. they believe in worshipping trees, rivers and mythilogical gods. what a crazy fu*ked up weazelish religion.
If you dont want castes, why dont you part with your income for a part with poor caste people? If you dont want to worship trees, fell a whole forest of them, make furniture and start a mart to sell it. Stop hating and liquidating Jews(holocausts) and Muslims(WMD invasions), and now u hate Hindus as well. Hatred is poisonous.
JackAss,I conclude. Understanding each other is important. Hinduism says all religions are true if followers are genuine and do not throw mud at other religions refusing to study them.You are free to ignore your religious authorities and broaden your vision to understand the depth of other religions.Dont fool yourself thinking a billion people are damn idiots.
This is a place I would like to visit sometime...barring the vile water ways & its extremely polluted environment...its still a fascination I'd like to see up close & personal...
weak minded,childish comment borne,I guess,out of ignorance.ritual ablutions are a part of religious observance in the hindu world.that comment also smacks of caucasion superiority delusion.the indians had a culture when we were still troglodytes.
Why do people drink and bathe in the Ganges' waters. So many corpses have been dumped into it that it has become a river of dead guy soup. I'm not trying to mock the hindu religion or the Indian people, but a crappy truth is better than a lie.
They also blame the British a lot, but not too loudly (since they're still more powerful)
yet it was the British that stopped them from burning their wives and so widely (couldnt stamp it out entirely though) burying their first born daughters alive.
You have the English to thank for everything! Imagine if they hadnt come! the only good for india came from conquest muslims first, then the english centuries later. The evidence is in the country for all to see.
all religions have their share of stupid to downright ridiculous stuff, including hinduism. but most hindus do not follow hinduism rules blindly, while most muslims do. and that makes all the difference. clearly, you have no idea what the british rule did to india. i know you wont, but you should really keep your misinformed notions to your self.
diversity is the ultimate concept and islam forbides that. the world would be a very grey place if islam ruled.. in uk statistically indians are the most educated and highest earners in any race in uk while muslims are most disabled and most unemployed uk says it all really now go drive taxi
lol the natural things to do for Indians is when criticised, is just to blame the muslims.
Why did you burn women alive when their husbands died? OH my god its because the muslims wanted to kidnap them (ridiculous to the extreme, they were slowly roasted alive for fucks sake)
Why did hindu's slaughter so many thousands in gujarat a few years ago? the muslims!
if the Ganges is such a holy body of water to Hindus, why do they pollute it such? let dead animals and humans float and trash float in it? i want to have an open mind, but this video has grossed me out.
your an ignorant idiot. a true christain will not kill ever. the bible sais to always choose life over death and thou shall not kill. learn your facts before you start spreading lies...asshole
slayer60491...wow, how incredibly rude of you to displace someones beliefs like that. I would think that you may be a little more diplomatic in your responses to someone of a different belief, especially considering the blatant display of the certain movie scenes you have posted. amantha03 doesnt sound too ignorant. oh and by the way you misspell words.
Most Indians are hungry huh? Are you sure about that? I think its nine percent growth rate might indicate otherwise. And don't be bitter because your job went to India...to smarter and more qualified workers.
Probably you wanted to write "..to cheaper and more degreed".Have you seen code written by Hindu PhD's. It looked like work made by second year students writing their first big program. Slow, complicated,w loads of bugs.I would expect much more from so highly "labeled" individuals. In fact there are also good world-famous Hindu specialists and Hindu People should be prud of them,but statistically in nation,whose population is 1/6 of population of whole world it should be some don't you think :)
in the uk indians are the highest earners most educated and business owning even more so than there white counterparts while muslims (pakistanis bangali) are least educated most unemployed and disabled islam is failing
Don't write "smarter" refering to one nation- If you would be Hindu i would tell that it is babbling of beginner nationalist.Beware because it seems more people have been killed in the name of Christianity than by any other force in the history of the world, but even more have been killed in the name of extreme nationalism (if you like to bidding using that stupid currency)
the person is dead anyway... the body is just a shell after death, so just let it be beneficial to others!What's so disgusting?Even if the dogs didn't get em,the worms would..it's natural.Let all practice their unique culture in peace.Hold your discrimitory comments to yourself!One man's meat is another man's poison
erm right tpacharya rounding up thousands of civilian women children and men and burning them alive teaches tolerance??? Noone has ever been arrested for this crime and most hindus are actualy proud of it!
wtf are you talking about that has been proven to be a British propaganda. yea it happened but RARELY, what about Cannibalism in europe? How about racism, at least we didn't genocide the Jews, and enslave/ murder entire populations.
Yeah hinduism is bad because you heard somewhere that some organisation said something. I completely agree. and 9/11 makes all Muslims bad. And Christianity made 'Rice Christians' and did crusades. Christians killed and converted blacks.
And Japanese were buddhists at the time of WW2. Jews are bombing everyday from Israel.
The only peaceful guy is jimgilf007. Hail jimgilf007 our God of idiocity.
Hindus teach tolerance,HA,HA,HA. Tell that to the Muslims and Sikhs who are all discriminated against and routinely attacked. The biggest Hindu organisation in India says it should become a completely secular nation, and the people must ensure that this happens by "spilling blood". I have alot of experience of living and travelling in India they are beautiful people until you voice a different opinion to them.
So does any other national or religion follower!? Someone once asked Bush, "can one not be a Christian and still be a U.S. citizen?" And perhaps you need to know that Sikhs are classified as Hindus under law and Muslims are more privileged in this country than any other country, because it allows people to have rights on the basis of religion, like polygamy and right to divorce without any legal procedure(practice Shariat).
I being a Hindu, can claim a discrimination because all low castes, be from Hindus or Muslims, have a priority over me in all kinds of reservations for them.
Apparently you know nothing about the current poliical climate in India. A large percentage of seats at educational institutions and in governmental positions are "reserved" for people of lower castes. It amazes me that non-Indians are so quick to comment on caste when in fact many societies of the world were characterized by equally rigid social hierarchies.
Hinduismn not only treat holy as Rat & Monkey but also to all creatature with honour it may be a shameless creature like planes3333. Hinduismn is not only one of the oldest relgn. but also teaches tolerance to whole of the world. In my view we must learn to respect others faith.
Why does planes3333 become shameless for his expressing its view?
Acharya ji, do Hindus actually follow Hinduism? Hinduism came to be before any other religion, then how did it include respect for others faith? Or did it allow one to practice its believes, then planes3333 seems to be following the same Hinduism that you seem so "blindly" attached to.
Yup, the Indus valley civilization, the number system, concept of zero, decimal system, the fundamentals of modern calculus, algebra and trigonometry, etc, have sure crippled the world. More people have been killed in the name of Christianity than by any other force in the history of the world. The slaughter and oppression of the native populations of the Americas, Africa, and Australia, as well as the slavery of Blacks in America were justified by Christians on religious grounds...
If any of you really want to be educated on the accomplishments of ancient India and the successes of modern Indians, check out the video "Why India is a great country."
