<p>If you have some courtesy to watch the video, it neither talks about conversions nor about north-east, nor about Christians.<p>It talks about how bad Hindus are in supporting each other, when it comes to religion.<p>What is so called right-wing ideology doing?</p>

<p>If one is reading Holy Bible or Koran, one needs to adhere that they are the only god.<p>But in nowhere in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, ...
Or any other religions from Indian origin claim their's is the only truth.<p>All of them are completely fine with different view points.<p>For example Hinduism is too broad, it literally accepts everything.<p>For Ex:
There is only one God, there are many gods, there is no God.
One can be an atheist and be a good Hindu.
You need to pray to god, you shouldn't pray to god.<p>But there is an unification among all Indian religions. For ex: All religions go in search of God/Truth.<p>Any how, Bhagavadgita, should rather be looked up-on like a more of philosophical text rather than religious book.
It is the essence of MahaBharata, yet another religious text book.</p>

<p>C Radhakrishnan - Bhagavad Gita_ Modern Reading and Scientific Study.<p>Intellectually very challenging.<p>Even though it is a religious book for many people, it can be read as just a normal story.<p>It teaches one about how to live life, not by set of defined rules, but by providing a proper explanation and through understanding.<p>It's a book which is usually dated to 5000 years or 7000 years.<p>It`s a very well-balanced story, one can ignore parts which  are not relevant to present society.</p>

<p>> Yeah, caste system is bad. India would have been in better place is it isn't exploited.<p>I think, I clearly mentioned it is bad.<p>So what was your thought like, Indians just sprung up during Ramayana, people did exist before and they can also read and write.<p>As per Hinduism, Ramayana is not the ancient texts, there exists many texts before it. It is kind of recent one.<p>I'm Roman Catholic by birth but I'm going to pursue Hinduism in future, I don't speak about Christ because I live in India, and no.of people who discuss about it is less. I haven't read any Hindu texts, but I did read Bible.<p>Hinduism regarding to righteous living, have got it completely covered. Which is what I'm interested in knowing.<p>I'm generally interested in ancient history, religion and philosophy.<p>Hinduism had a very good coverage regarding philosophy and the living culture which is able to survive in modern times.<p>I didn't delve into Hinduism, but I'm going to after 2 or 3 years. Right now my focus is else where.<p>I'm not astroturfing, I'm generally interested in religion and anything which broadens my understanding, Hinduism seems to fit very well into it.<p>If you just hate that they are able to get too many things right, I can't do anything.</p>

<p>If India is not a good place, then why Dalai Lama is staying in India, he could have gone to some other countries.<p>Buddhists who came from Tibet considers China have occupied their place, neither did these guys ever ask for Indian citizenship, When Dalai Lama goes to other place, he does it that way because to be an example indicating China have occupied their land and it rightfully belongs to them.<p>One cannot get a citizenship of a country and ask for a country from another country.<p>As an Indian we would be more than happy to have such people.<p>Next regarding Tamil Hindus of Srilanka, Many people from SriLanka live here in TamilNadu.<p>Nobody is denying them in India, They don't want to loose their land in SriLanka.
If they come to India, they need to start from scratch, which is painful for anybody.</p>
