Removing The Sheen From Buddhism

[Husky]

Own fault that I went and read something at swarajyamag. But every time I think: "surely it won't be bad this time, what else can go wrong? Every stupid claim must have been launched by now already?"



This time, however, a featured article actually dragged in Taoism and Shinto and pretended their relationship with Buddhism was swell (essentially pretending 'syncretism'). :GRRRRRRR: So provoking.

And this is the fairytale that the article was peddling to the audience (apparently for the purpose of equating Jainism, Buddhism whatever with Hindoos' heathenism in parallel).



I saw so red I couldn't even see much past those claims.

And of course no one complained.



What next? Tomorrow they may start pretending that Buddhism was swell to Shamanism too.



Indians should stick to mangling their own heathenism (such as by conflating it with Buddhism, Jainism etc). But need to just leave Taoism and Shinto and other ancestral heathenisms alone.
