i don't have time to really spell out what i'm thinking being that i have some exams on Thursday and Friday, but with the promise that i will, i wanted to ask people what they thought about Hindu Fundamentalist. from the Hinduism i was raised on, it seems impossible for people to think of Hinduism in a fundamentalist fashion, yet it exists. i promise i'll explain my concerns more later, but in anyone has any comments on it right now, i'd love to hear them.

I love eastern philosophy but it saddens me that fundamentalism does exist in almost every religion and that includes Hinduism. The last time I heard a bad case of Hindu fundamentalism, zealots were beating up young couples. Why? Because they celebrated Valentine's Day, a Christian holiday. Just one of many crap from fundies.

I bet that happened in an Indian village. Crazy s**t happens there. Hell, I remember when a mob of villagers hung a couple simply because the Dalit boy and the Vaishya girl eloped.

That's not fundamentalism. That's plain stupidity. ******** animals.

Fundamentalism is bad for any religion, hell it's bad for the human race. I really wish churches/places of worship would say that fundamentalism is wrong, and not the correct way of worship. All it does is lead to irrational actions.
