THE TRUTH,
Any get amazed why such conceptualising being not taken up by HINDUS as its the most important aspect of HINDUISM as only HINDUISM has identified such concepts with regards to entire LIVINGONES, Imagine, if entire LIVINGONES are being respected there won’t be any discrimination among HUMANS & is visible in EACH sentence of VEDAS, PURANAS & almost ALL including GEETAJI viz. –
आ नो भद्रा: क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वत:।
वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम।
स्वस्तिवाचन।
रुचिनाम् वैचित्र्याद् रूजुकुटिल नाना पथजुषाम।
न्रृणामेको गम्य: त्वमसि पयसाम् अर्णव इव।।
& never proposed an expansionist thought for once, & such List is endless, while islam & christianity are being confined to welfare of believers to respective sacts only. Which is an insult to HUMANITY, while HINDUISM has always favoured each one to be preserved, protected & propagated with prosperity at the cost of THY’s existence.

Your work is very insightful and the call to duty [to dispel the misconceptions regarding sanatan dharm] very evocative.
The Sindhu-descendant, colloquially called Hindu, lives his life as a transient-existence phase that depending upon his action will get reincarnated in any of the 8,600,000 species accorded to him by his scriptures (chaurasi lakh yoni).
There lies the moral dilemma: you are your own hell/heaven overlord (you own actions guide you to your next incarnation [कर्म प्रधान] and ability to influence the world around you), the choices you make, your thoughts(curses and blessings to others)[Mansa], your speech (to those around you liable to hurt and heal)[vach], your actions (capable of crippling or correcting someone’s life)[kaya/karm].
Scriptures are very prophetic in that they have yet described the modern man seen today in india.The indian(Hindu etc) of today is of an inferior moral compass.He fears for his prospects more than his principles, to bother correcting perceptions in order to not offend. Whatever the case, this human seeks to only be the next CEO of Google, not the next guru in rishikesh. Those that garb themselves as spiritual leaders are mere profiteers scamming the naive for seeking the next Sai-baba or buddha among them. Seeking wealth beyond need/necessity, doing anything to gain it at the cost of all else at stake. Seeking materialism beyond spiritualism. Seeing individual gain before collective welfare. Perverting the usage of karma-dharma doctrine, to express disdain other’s misfortune rather than approaching to alleviate some of it in their capacity (saying that they[the sufferers in life] ought have suffered for their past crimes and indiscretions, and hence the haves become mean, pitiful, narrow-minded beings apathetic to all but themselves).
You could see that in the old times the descriptions of the Human at that time sought to seek liberation in sat-yug, despite presence of demons [daitya, asura, danav].
So no, the average elite is more concerned to conserve his elitism, not his pride in his roots. The southern/north-eastern states hate hindi, they prefer english to it.
Your efforts allow us ponder but the conditioning is seldom overcome. Long lived is Macaulay here. Though I too hope it ends. I thank you for your efforts.

‘@Amit Rahman: Quran is universal? What makes you think that? Quran divides people into believers and non-believers (Kafirs). Any claim to universality vanishes with that concept. The number of hate-verses in the Quran against Kafirs that destroy any claim to universality are too many to list here; but are available here http://freethoughtnation.com/what-does-the-koran-say-about-nonbelievers/

On the issue of hellfire: there are many verses (running into hundreds) claiming that kafirs end up in hellfire. For example verse 98:6 “Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures”. For a list of other similar verses read here: http://www.myreligionislam.com/detail.asp?Aid=5972
No amount of obfuscation can redeem the situation in this open internet age. What is required is not to be apologists but be brave Muslims ready to reform and reclaim their religion from the clutches of the Mullahs.

Talking of context, the Quran that is not compiled in chronological order (thus disregarding the historical context) but arranged in descending order of the size of its chapters, giving the impression that its verses are universally true for all times i.e. context independent. One cannot then require external context to be assigned to a verse other than the context of that chapter.

Quran is universal…. putting it in one single context is derogatory to Quran, according to my believe. the quoted text means, if one fails to bring out the godliness, one ends up in hellfire forever. the context you referred to is the one created by the Salafists. and it was done in the period from 9th to 11th century AD.

glad to know that there are more people like Abdullah (i post the link to my article about him) and a sane human being, but unfortunately, the Quran says otherwise. it says that simply because being an unbeliever (and it means non-Muslims if one reads it in context) one ends up in hellfire for ever.

hi! I am a Muslim from Bangladesh and in the interpretation of Islam that I know the following statement is not true, “Each of those two religions makes also a terrible, but untrue claim: all those who don’t belong to their own religion, will suffer for all eternity in hell.” The interpretation I know and follow says there is one God who has many names and existences. in fact each and every human being holds a bit of God in his or her soul. The person who can bring out this godliness the most in this life will be the happiest one in the afterlife. By godliness i mean having the virtues of God. But how much one can bring such virtues out depends on one’s effort and integrity. I am not destined to end up more Merciful or less Truthful just because my father happened to be circumcised or my mother happened to wear vermilion on her head.

Christian evangelical forces have mastered the art of conversion and armed with abundant funds resources and without any scruples resort to foul means and deception to lure and some how convert the poorest section of Hindu society to their Abrahmic creed.
Massive section of South Indian Hindus have been converted many of whom have been advised to lay low and not declare themselves as Chrisrians with two fold purpose , one so as to not alarm the Hindus in general and second to allow the Sc/St to avail the benefits of reservation under Indian govt rules which are available only to Hindus,Buddhists, Sikhs.
The potential of these evangelicals cannot be underestimated,in span of 50 years almost entire Budhists population of South Korea has been converted under American Christian influence.
Unfortunately Hindus in India lack awareness,will power or resources to counter the might of the wealthy evangelical forces and the future seems to be bleak
