In the meanwhile, of course, the core issue about Hindu narrative will as usual takes a backseat till we can first decide who exactly is a real Hindu.
There seems to be a sense of urgency now more than ever to record Hindu narrative as Shiv rightly pointed out in his last post.
Also, is it just me that feels that there is something about Hindu psyche that we Hindus are so pre-occupied fighting amongst ourselves(caste,region,language etc) that Hindus only act/react to an external danger when things have already reached a critical point?Â
Even here on this forum rather than realizing the urgency of recording Hindu narrative, we have again started arguing as to who is a real Hindu, whether all Hindus narrative should be given equal weightage etc. No one is talking about given all Hindu narrative equal weightage but for Godâs sake letâs not get distracted to such an extent talking about issues like who is a real Hindu that we lose focus of the core issue.
We should, like Arjun, just see the eye of the bird and realize what is the core issue (Hindu narrative) right now that needs our urgent attention.

I ave figured out that these arguments are a reflection of less reading and less contemplation . Most educated with modern education have less read about the world and know less about the philosophy and know less about what modern education has done to the Hindu philosophy.
He hardly realises that there has been a large scale negation of Hindu philosophy in the west and also inside India.

>>>I ave figured out that these arguments are a reflection of less reading and less contemplation .
And making such sweeping statements about others is a reflection of more reading and more contemplation? And could I borrow your crystal ball with which you 'figure' out everything in a jiffy.
>>>Most educated with modern education have less read about the world and know less about the philosophy and know less about what modern education has done to the Hindu philosophy.
I see a lot of assumptions here(me having had modern education et all). And pray how would someone with modern education be less read about the world? Then again some may argue as to the idea of what exactly constitutes modern education may differ from person to person.
It's also a good idea to back your assumptions with actual facts. I could sit down with you and debate about the real essence of Hindu philosophy but then see little point in doing so as you like already placed yourself on a pedestal by declaring you are the only one that got true Enlightenment about Hindu philosophy sitting under some tree.
>>>He hardly realises that there has been a large scale negation of Hindu philosophy in the west and also inside India.
And what's negation of Hindu philosophy got to do with my declaring that most Hindus have started feeling the urgency of recording the Hindu narrative? You lost me here...
