(1) Get this very clearly: Hindu "dharma" has a value system and not everything and anything is acceptable. Since it has its own values not every other belief is automatically also "dharma" for Hindus and Hindus should have no hesitation to say so.
(2) Hindu "dharma" does not automatically belong to "all humanity" unless they subscribe to its values. For example ISIS sadists and their worshipers are biologically humans too but Hindu dharma doesnt belong to them.
(3) Hindu dharma is not "universally tolerant" to anything and everything as it has its own distinctive value system and it cannot and should not tolerate things that outrages its values. Tolerance of things that should not be tolerated destroys dharma by contradicting it.
(4) Hindu dharma reflects in the "way of life" for Hindus, but is not just "a way of life". It has its ideology and practice, abstract and the concrete, collective and individual, state and ritual. Hindus can't abandon any of these by accepting its reducible to just "way of life"
(5) Hindu dharma cannot accommodate what goes squarely against its values, or demands abandonment of what the Hindu holds dear - in rituals and spaces, both sacred and public - and it has a right and necessity to reject such demands for accommodation.
