The root of racism is in Christian Theology. Black people according to them were beasts & hence deserved to made slave.

As per the Christian Identity theory, Adam and Eve were only the ancestors of white people.
hey say that before, Adam & Eve lived non-Caucasian races which are identified as "beasts of the field"(Genesis 1:25).

As precedent, the 'beasts'which wore sackcloth & cried unto God (Jonah 3:8) are identified as black races.
Now, interestingly to support this, Christians direct us to the Hebrew etymology of the word 'Adam' which is = 'be ruddy, red, to show blood'.

James Strong's Hebrew Dictionary talks about it.
They go on to conclude hence that only Caucasians or people with light white skin can blush or turn rosy in the face. Read more here web.archive.org/web/2011072311…
This is an interesting book which gives complete details about how Christian Theology Experts did connect the Africans as beasts.

1/n #SadarPranam to Ishvara within you @dhume

Once, it was considered that Greece was "mother of democracy". But recent discoveries have contested

If not all, "Democracy" seems to have certainly originated first in India as/ latest researches.

2/n We came across the Rakhigarhi Excavations.

It took the whole world by shock for the revelations it brought.

It happened to be a civilization (6.5+2.0) KY BP*

*Thousand years before present
3/n Here as stated by Dr Shinde, the Panchayat found on the site is around 5.5 KYBP.

We do not find any evidence of Monarchical Set-Up across any Indus Saraswati Civilization belt. tribuneindia.com/news/archive/f…

SR Goel also said:

"The Arya Samaj was the first Hindu movement to take up a bold stand in this context. Maharshi Dayanand himself had showed up Muhammad for the sort of man he was."

in his book, "Freedom of expression: Secular theocracy versus liberal democracy."
SR Goel writes, "He (Dayanand) made a positive contribution when he pointed out that India had inherited a spirituality and a culture which were not only indigenous but also intrinsically superior to the imported creeds and cultures...
...He encouraged and enabled his people to reawaken to their own inner sources of strength, and hold their heads high in the face of foreign invaders. He was the first to use the terms Swadeshi and Swarajya.

There was a period, when every Hindu Organisations including Ramkrishna Mission, Hindu Mahasabha, Arya Samaj spoke of Shuddhi (re-converting to Hindu Fold) & wanted Hindus to give away shackles of caste for same.

Instead of blaming them as reformist & Christian stooges+
One need to understand Politics, situation of that period.

Why all were on same page?

Recently we came across a case where a BJP’s MLA’s mother converted to Christianity.+
A thing was observed that a child deemed to be Shudra by birth ran into the Mandir & heavy fine was imposed (₹25,000).

It is high time to realise that such incidence don’t lead to conversion.

Well let me simplify my stand.

1) There is no historic evidence for Euclid

2) Elements was actually a work of empirical proofs & not deductive (1st proposition itself is proof of two arcs by empirical method)
3)Post Crusades (after 7 centuries), Church brought logic in play & declared that metaphysical Mathematics began with Euclid, although they couldn't notice that it was actually dealing with empirical proofs.

4)It became an error for metaphysics of church
but went on being unnoticed till 19th century.

5) It was admitted that other empirical proofs (such as the proof of Proposition 4 or the side-angle-side theorem) are essential to the proof of the “Pythagorean” theorem in the Elements.

Today, b'coz of our understanding of particular context, time, history wrt affiliations,may end up setting differences with Hindutva.

But get in drilled in mind, today they are attacking word "Hindutva",tomorrow they will do same to"Hinduism" too.

They have problem with Hindus.
They have issues with exactly that parts of Hinduism, that touched few parts of our history aided by British misinterpretations.

You claim that preserving "Jati System" would preserve "Hinduism", but there they are hitting you exactly there in name of Hindutva.
It is high time that we get over our obsession with seeing superiority as prescribed by Sampradaya that we subscribe too.

The merger of Sampradayas for common cause, with own ideas being limited to not superseding others should be the idea.

Reformation isn’t needed in process that has “evolution.”

Sanatana Dharma, is the address to Nature, which evolves everyday.

The more beings are born, more she evolves. Every extra breathing has a new carbon-footprint.
Reformation comes in play where things are actually “distorted.”

Our Shastras don’t have contradictions, but evidence of “evolution” which was always accepted by our Acharyas.
While Christians after reformation, got to be known as Protestant, our Shastras despite evolutions kept being accepted by Hindus. There contradictions didn’t being new sect each time.

Dharma is like water, for it is Santana.
