Why Is There No Such Thing As Hindu Unity, Solidarity And Brotherhood???

Answer 1

Diversity is our strength. I believe salvation is through individual effort not a group venture. I am against all organized religion.
Truly speaking every one in this world who is a seeker of truth and interested in knowing truth in an objective and detached manner is a Hindu, whether he believes in God or not, whether he is a Hindu or a Buddhist or belongs to some other faith. A Hindu is an individual soul who has been separated from God, is under illusion and has been in the process of rejoining God some day. No one need force him to become a Hindu in the physical sense, because one day, in some birth, he will become aware of what he is or who he is. What he does in between is all part of a Divine Play

Today although there is a lot of confusion among many foreign scholars as to what constitutes Hinduism and what does not, there is no confusion among the native Indians as to who a Hindu is. A Hindu may not be able to define correctly who a Hindu is, but in his heart he knows clearly whom he is talking about. Without recourse to any religious texts or scholarly analysis, he can instantly recognize and accept a fellow Hindu.
The Hindus may come from different regions, speak different languages, belong to different economic and social strata, may oppose each other politically, may not even like each other personally due to ideological or ethical or ethnic reasons, but they do not fail to experience the bond of a religious tradition that is common to them. They know clearly that the tradition that binds them together was before them and would remain forever after them.
This in essence what Hinduism is. It is a living tradition which communicates through the hearts, minds and spirits of its millions of adherents. The word "Hindu" is very much secular in its origin and a typical Hindu is very much secular in his out look and attitude towards all religious faiths and living traditions.
Today if some Hindus are becoming increasingly defensive towards their religion, which is an unfortunate development, as it is against the principles of their religious tradition, it is to be acknowledged more as a reaction against perceived threats and external influences. Let us hope that it would be a temporary phenomenon.

Answer 2

Because all at birth are hindus no matter what. Being a hindu is being a human. And when human itself is bound and divided by so many factions of belief faith and sects how can there be Hindu unity /solidarity/ brotherhood.

Also such formations are deemed necessary when a group feels vulnerable and id afraid of its extinction and /or persecution. clearly no such thing is in sight and can never be.

Also those religions which are forced upon and somehow are binding to the group is where such formations are seen to arise primarily to keep themselves in check and then to monitor other of the group. Hinduism on teh other hand happpens to be a healthy synthesis of liberal and traditional thoughts and is very accomodtive and adaptive thus giving teh individual his space and yet not mauling him with guilt of not following the tenets and such of the religion.

This freedom of the individual where in one can be himself and yet be assured of onself not being excommunicted or hunted down by people of one's own faith makes Hinduism a religion of the free mind. hence Hindus do not see the need for any group claiming unity/solidarity/brotherhood.

Though one might see some such organizations but they are there purely for teh political benefits of some and majority of the Hindu populace does not adhere to the views expressed by such groups.

Hindus are people of free mind and will, and a free spirit fears none.

This is a funny question. Most of the Hindus I have met on here are ALL about complete Unity... not just with each other, but with all of humanity, nature and the cosmos.

You can't get much more unified than that.

Answer 4

There is no need for separate organisation like what you have stated as Hindus where ever they are all one though they may have different sects.

Answer 5

why do you not think there is such a thing? i know plenty of Hindus who would fit that bill

Answer 6

There are such things but many people are not aware of it.

Answer 7

And why there should be one......these things only serve political purpose......Pls explain me if it will add to spiritual value in any way then we can think of moving in that direction.

Answer 8

hindus doesnt need to show the world about their unity.they are united in their heart and head.
