<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I can't understand why so many religious Hindus have this weak mentality, what is the point of going to mandir everyday and chanting your prayers if you can't stand up when dharma is insulted, these are what I would classify as "Gandhian Hindus", very religious like Gandhi was but very weak when it comes to defending their beliefs.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->You're right to a certain extent. But you don't realise that even though Chennai is a major city, most Tamils are Hindus who don't know much about what dangers are presently going on. They live their lives as they always have, working hard to keep their parents and siblings comfortable until they get married and then look after the additional family, without caring a hoot about all the DMK or other nonsense. They also don't know that the Church is actively working towards their destruction.
This tailor obviously thinks he is a one-off case. He thinks it's his brother-in-law's extremity that is to blame and inciting his wife. He doesn't know that in reality, it is christianity. And that he is but one of many cases. That's because he does not know christianity. He will never know christianity. He thinks his conversion just means that Jesus is the new name for his true Ishtadevam. He does not know that his wife will forbid him to speak to his children about the Hindu Gods or take them to the temple.
Not everyone in India is as unfortunately/fortunately aware of these things as they ought to be. In fact, most of them are not. They know zip about the terrorist religions. They ought to be informed, but language will be a barrier. He does not understand English and most of the informative works are in this foreign language.
Cognitive overload is also a barrier: too many fundamentally new concepts and reference systems to be exposed to. First must learn about christoislamic scriptures, then must learn christoislamic terrorist history, then must learn its terrorist present all over the world, then how it has seeped into the Indian system and is working the nation into self-destruction from behind-the-scenes.
Indians are very intelligent people, but cognitive overload is a hurdle for everyone. (Cognitive overload is why it's easier to learn using the computer when one is a child than when one starts at 90 for instance.) That's why many Hindus won't understand that there are religions that care more for the number of adherents than for the veracity of their central beliefs. Or that any religion would advocate killing the kafirs or would threaten with eternal hell-fire for the unbelievers.
Gandhi knew more about christianity. He was therefore not unknowing but wrong.
The Hindus we're speaking of just don't know and won't completely understand the issues at stake (they understand 'all paths lead to god' which is very sensible, but it was created at a time when there were no terrorist religions). These people still live mentally and spiritually in those better times, they can't understand that the world outside their lives - the one that they and their ancestors have always known - has changed so much.
