Hinduism is secular. Where have historically persecuted people of the world gone? To Hindu India. Indian Hindus are why Zorastrian people still exists as a religion. They had to flee Iran and Islamic domination hundreds of years ago.

Hindu India has its share of casteism, which is a real problem. That I can agree with.

There is a zorastrian presence in Iran.

In fact, Iran hosts the greatest number of the world minorities than any other country. Even those that have been thought of as extinct.

I somewhere read that Zorastrianism was once the primary religion of Perisan Empire? Would like to know what exactly has caused their numbers to dwindle so much.

As far as Indian Constitution written by Ambedkar goes, I believe you. I am not sure RSS agrees on that basis.

[eklavya]

That can be rectified by actually trying to read and understand about it. Don’t fall for the narrative.

'Hinduism is secular.' followed by 'Hindu India'

How is religion even called secular? Secular pertains to character of a state, not of a religion.

Hinduism is/was the culture of the Indian subcontinent. Western society defined religion as a matter of faith. In India faith was not exactly part of your culture. That was in addition to your culture.

Hinduism is a religion in modern times, defining it as culture of India is one of the stated aims of Hindu Nationalist movement. Culture is a pluralistic adventure, and winds across religious divide. Defining it as Indian culture means subjugating other religions, which is a Hindutva endeavour. In Punjab, after Aryan migration Punjabis didn’t have any stated religion until Islam and Sikh religion came along, co-opting the no religion stance before as Hinduism is a grave stance to take.
