My idea was to show my deep appreciation for the glory and tolerance of the Hinduism



If various strains of religious cults fused themselves to a reasonably homogeneous sect, there is nothing to talk with an upturned nose and assumed holiness looking down upon it.. One essential utility of every social transaction is to bring harmony at least to a certain extent among people of varied faith, but could have some give and take to come together in harmony as a working and harmonious group..Religion is not different in that approach.. There is no rule that the religion of Mohenjo Daro should be kept without any change to this date, just for archival authenticity even at the cost of a harmonious society..
Buddhism and other creeds of indigenous origin had many common factors with the mainstream Hinduism and so they could merge.. Certain salts or solutes can dissolve in some solvent easily.. Christianity and Islam were of different regional and linguistic origin, and they landed up in India either as intruders or as neighbours transacting with the occupant just for business purpose.. So the mental alienation was natural.. and so was the tinge of mutual intolerance.. Such religions could never merge with the mainstream Hinduism which even if such Hinduism is a mixture of many local creeds.. And to the credit of Indians, the history of active resistance to such religion is non existent.. In fact even resentment when shown was just silent. An incumbent for ages showing uneasiness towards new entrants of markedly different ways of life is quite natural... I am not saying this in the present day context where secularism is the State Policy, but stating it in the context of evolution of the religions in India in the past many millenniums..
My idea was to show my deep appreciation for the glory and tolerance of the Hinduism, and its pantheist approach at deeper levels, and I have never intended to comment upon the methods of worship, the God-men, the frauds or injuries if any perpetrated on the people by vested interests and so on.. That is entirely outside the canvas of this discussion. . I never want to don the mantle of a messiah or religious activist. I am just a thinker who wants to be as faithful to truth and reason as a man can.
Zero was just a concept invented by man to avoid blind alleys in the realm of thought, and unlike many behavioral traits of human beings dependent of real life situations causing pleasure and pain, zero need not be given the halo of a perpetual truth.. The divergent views seen in thread posted by anyone at variance with the purpose and spirit of my original post, have nothing to with me.. And if someone is playing the game without rules, it is up to him.. I will delete only posts which are crap in absolute terms..
