Hinduism is secular. Where have historically persecuted people of the world gone? To Hindu India. Indian Hindus are why Zorastrian people still exists as a religion. They had to flee Iran and Islamic domination hundreds of years ago.
Hindu India has its share of casteism, which is a real problem. That I can agree with.
- selimthegrim 7y agoAs far as Indian Constitution written by Ambedkar goes, I believe you. I am not sure RSS agrees on that basis.
- eklavya 7y agoThat can be rectified by actually trying to read and understand about it. Don’t fall for the narrative.
- nashashmi 7y agoThere is a zorastrian presence in Iran. In fact, Iran hosts the greatest number of the world minorities than any other country. Even those that have been thought of as extinct.

- sbmthakur 7y agoI somewhere read that Zorastrianism was once the primary religion of Perisan Empire? Would like to know what exactly has caused their numbers to dwindle so much.
- iamshs 7y ago'Hinduism is secular.' followed by 'Hindu India' How is religion even called secular? Secular pertains to character of a state, not of a religion.
- amalag 7y agoHinduism is/was the culture of the Indian subcontinent. Western society defined religion as a matter of faith. In India faith was not exactly part of your culture. That was in addition to your culture.
- iamshs 7y agoHinduism is a religion in modern times, defining it as culture of India is one of the stated aims of Hindu Nationalist movement. Culture is a pluralistic adventure, and winds across religious divide. Defining it as Indian culture means subjugating other religions, which is a Hindutva endeavour. In Punjab, after Aryan migration Punjabis didn’t have any stated religion until Islam and Sikh religion came along, co-opting the no religion stance before as Hinduism is a grave stance to take.
