<b>The roots of anti-Hindu behavior</b>
Why do people show anti-Hindu behavior?
Why does anyone show any behavior? Because there are rewards attached to it.
You either get to enrich yourself materially, or you convince yourself that you are enriching yourself spiritually, or a combination of both. Your status in society rises, and your peers look up to you.
(1) Looting, raping, pillaging, temple-destruction, torture of the inquisitions, mocking Hindus, breaking "idols" from temples, raising mosques and churches on top of the razed temples, destroying Hindu literature, seats of Hindu learning etc...all these make the perpetrator feel that he (she) is following in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad, in the case of muslims, or assorted prophets, missionaries, saints, popes, and Jesus himself, in the case of Christians.
(2) The so-called "Secular" Hindus (the Congress, the Left etc) aid and abet the activities in (1) because they either
a. want minority votes
b. the really, truly think that they are doing the right thing, having as their ideals Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Karl Marx and/or Chairman Mao.
The ideals of Prophet Muhammad as well as the prophets, missionaries, saints, popes, and Jesus; as well as those of Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru etc. are in the books listed below. These books are accessible through Google books.

(3) The situation is further compounded by the average Hindu's lack of education on the topics listed above. The Hindu has a tendency to fit the world to his/her own view of Hinduism. The Hindu, therefore, thinks that Islam, Christianity etc. are basically Hinduism with differerent faces, different places, and different dates.
Needless to say, the anti-Hindu people are engaged day and night in protecting, preserving and proliferating this ignorance so that they may proudly continue their persecution and proselytization.
(4) There are a lot of interests with deep pockets financing this anti-Hindu behavior; the Church and the Guardian of the Holy Mosques (The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), to name two of the bigger players.
(5) There are people who have built up their academic careers on the "disproving" Hindu Dharma and Indic civilization. These people have been publishing papers and books denying the Hindu origins of many good things, and the little goodness thay do find in Hindu Dharma they attribute to the West. When the average Hindu tries to read up on the history of Hindu Dharma and the Indic civilization, he is deluged with references written by these "scholars" with their articulate and superficially reasonable arguments. A huge lobby exists, of course, that will discourage, to put it mildly, and efforts to really did into the facts about Hindu Dharma. You must have heard of people crying themselves hoarse over "saffronization" of textbooks.
(6) Money. Most Hindus today do not have the time to do anything meaningful with their lives because they are too busy making money. I am not talking about the Hindus who need to toil away just to make ends meet; I am talking about Hindus who, to put it figuratively, keep inventing ways to increase the distance between those ends, so that they then have to work harder to make those ends meet. For these people, getting more and more stuff is better than reading up on the real Indian history. For them, spending all your energies on jet-setting around India and the world is a feat of legitimate bravery, to be bragged about. But when, say, a foreigner visiting India tells them about how great the Mughals were, and how magnificent the Mughal Monument of Love, the "Taj Mahal" is, well, will any one of them point the foreigner to Stephen Knapp, or Sita Ram Goel, and the massive piles of evidence that the "Taj Mahal" was actually a Hindu building seized by the muslim emperor? No, there, somehow, is no bravery involved in Dharma Raksha; at any rate, there is no money in it!
