If I could add that Hindus have to resort to the same strategy some people of other religions resort to with when dealing with Hindus in order to try to put Hindus on the defensive

When dealing with such people, Hindus can maybe use the strategy you best described sometime back i.e. the example of 'You farted'...now let the other person start defending himself/herself or the other strategy 'so what if my shirt is torn, your fly is open' is the strategy Hindus can also use instead of Hindus going on the defensive, eventually getting angry and lashing out.

>>>Why not resort to educating them.

What is the your target audience when you talk of educating them? No.2 Educating them on what specific aspect of Hinduism i.e. Are you talking about educating them about actual history of Hinduism or about threat posed by Js and EJs or about how Westerners(and our own commies) use Psy Op talking about such things as caste system etc ad nauseum to try to put Hindus on defensive. No.3 how do you intend reaching them to 'resort to educating them'? Hopefully solutions to such questions and much more may come out of a frank discussion of Hindu narrative.

I think this is precisely one of the reasons why we so desperately need Hindu narrative and are hoping that conclusions arrived at may provide us Hindus some answers that would prove crucial in our Hindus fight against the threats of Js and EJs now and for future generations.
