I don't understand why these religions are viewed as seperate entities anyway. They are all Indian born dharmic religions. They are 90% identical, they share all major fundamentals. Moreover, Guru nanak (founder of Sikhism), Mahaveer (founder of Jainism) and Buddha (Founder of Buddhism) NEVER refuted Hinduism. What they refuted was the innacurate practice of Hinduism. Many people wrongly assume that they wanted to establish a spiritual path, different from that of orthodox Hinduism. Such an assessment is misleading. The manner in whuch Hinduism was praticed was wrong, and these holy prophets wanted Hinduism to be practiced accurately. They wanted to take Hinduism back to its purest form.
Their purpose was to ADD to Hinduism, to CONTRIBUTE to Hinduism, to REFORM Hinduism and most fundamentally to PURIFY hinduism. Their purpose was NOT to refute Hinduism.
So why the hell are these religions being perceived as different when they should all be classed as one???
