hinduism stereotypes?

Question

what are some of the stereotypes of hinduism?
i can already guess about the 300 gods which is false since hindus worship 1
even the "you cannot convert to hinduism but have to be born one" is false

and the caste system was not meant to be part of the religion especially the untouchables proven in Ramayana in the part about Shabari.

please tell me more if you know so i can understand my religion more clearly

Answer 1

There are many myths deliberately spread by aliens to keep people away from this great religion some of these are

hinduism has 33 crore gods,
hinduism teaches caste system
hindus burn their women after husband dies(sati)
hindus worship penis -god (shiva)
hindus worship vagina
hindus worship idols which can not save
one has to be born into hindu family to be hindu


all these myths are mainly to spread hate against hinduism, and have been taken from Indian society.

In a country of 1 billion, if one women died with her husband that is 0.0000000001 %... and it is blamed on hinduism

since hinduism has no central authority to check people's beliefs, indians are free to do anything with religion....hence what a group of people is doing in india can not be blamed on hinduism.

Answer 2

The sterio types are there, due to hypocrisy and wrong teachings and misunderstading scriptures and not following original teachings. Actually there is an original cast system that Krishna has naturally established, but it is nothing like the cast system of today. The original cast system is natural. What ever ones natural propensities in life are that should be their dharma (occupation or duty) there are categories of Brahman,(priests and teachers) Ksatrias,(worriers and police, protection of others, management,) Vaishyas (business owners, cow protection,farming,banking) and Sudra's serves all other classes (not slaves but paid jobs). The problem in India now, is they are thinking if one is born in a Brahman family they are automatically Brahman) this is not so. They may be more naturally inclined but not automatically. Besides this it is said that in this age of Kali no one is born a Brahman and that everyone is born Sudra. It is by training and good qualities that one becomes a Brahman or the others. All classes are to be respected. That is not the case in India now. A devotee of Lord Krishna is beyond any classification of man and is to be considered a higher classification than Brahman or at least Brahman, even if their job may be of a Sudra. They are not bound by any material position. They may appear to be doing the same work as a Sudra or Vaisya or Ksatria, but their aim is serving Lord Krishna, so it is transcendental to all designations. this is actual Hindu (Vaisnava) Thanks

One somewhat academic stereotype is this: Hinduism sees all other religions as just additional forms of Hinduism in "an embrace that suffocates."
