There is nothing like secularism in Indian constitution - the secularism is due to the majority(mark it as hindus) who hate extreme hinduism. So if you are talking about hindutva roadmap as enforcement of extreme hinduism then the majority will reject it.
Well, I am only going by what Indians tell me that secularism is solidly enshrined in the Indian constitution and there's no way to remove it. Hence Plan B: elevate Hinduism into a privileged role not as a religious, but a cultural construct.
And Pakistan is becoming its major victim through TV channels and movies. Isn't it ?
We have shared the culture for centuries so nothing new. However, we differentiate between the cultural and the religious aspects.
So how does your claim sticks,that Vedic culture in South India was imposed by force.
The point is that Dravidian nationalists are adamant that the Vedic culture was imposed by force. Indeed, this forms a cornerstone of their nationalism.
Atheism rejects the role of God in Universe completely.So how does it becomes another belief system.
How many gods are there? 0, 1, many, infinite?
You know, ancient India was instrumental in establishing zero as a valid number
"Extremist Hindu".You must first explain what does that mean.
Any Hindu who does not accept belief systems other than his own. Do you seriously deny that such Hindus exist?
Their are some people who don't follow tribal gods their are many who actually does.These are things that are based on caste systems.
And there are those extremists who claim that anyone who worships a tree deity or such is not a Hindu. Again, you can claim that no such extremists exist. Fine!
They are only one of the reasons of decline of Buddhism from various ancient India.hostility of the Hindu priestly caste of Brahmans are very well documented,but your hugely exaggerated claims of Buddhism eradication is largely unfounded.Main reason for the decline of Buddhism is the decline of Empires that traditionally gave patronage to Buddhism and surge of Hindu philosophers like Adi Shankara, along with Madhvacharya and Ramanuja, the trinity of the Revival of Hindu Philosophy.Arrival of Islamic invaders became the last nail in the coffin.
The decline of Buddhism was a long drawn out affair and I never said the Islamic invasions didn't play their part. However, the role of Brahminists was well established and the decline was already extensive before Muslims arrived.
No evidence whatsoever to that effect & no memory of that supposed imposition though I suppose that a cultural amalgamation was both possible & likely. Your mistake is in assuming that such cultural transference was a one way phenomenon when evidence suggests that it was not. An amalgamation cannot be directly called a conversion because both parties are affected.
There's not really much non-religious cultural transfer northwards in terms of language or other aspects, is there? Sure, there were religious contributions from southern scholars, but these happened long after the initial southward conquest.
Just because Luther was a German doesn't change the fact that Christianity was an imposition onto Germanic tribes initially.
, as they are themselves Hindu..
