Hinduism In Danger

Hinduism in Danger Hinduism is one of the largest religion in this world ,which occupy 1/6 of the world’s population. It is mostly practiced in India ,Nepal , Fiji , maurisaus etc. it is the oldest religion of these world . but now a days the number of Hindu population in these countries are decreasing on .in Nepal the population of Hindu is now about 80% some decades ago the population was about 90% and the decreasing rate of the population is going on . Why is the population of Hindu is decreasing? In my view population of the hindu is decreasing because of these reasons: 1) some hindu old bad traditions, 2) the influence of the Christian which are donating to missionaries to spread christianism among these country, 3) unbelieve of priest by the people 4) it has many festivals which are unaffordable to the poors, etc…….

BAD TRADITIONS Because Hinduism is the most oldest religion in this world it contain some bad traditions like Varna -shram vyawastha or the caste(Varna) system(vyawastha) according to work(shram) .according to this system the community is divided into four caste according to its work ,Brahmin the priests ,teacher etc ,chhetriya the warrior, politicians ,army, king etc ,baisya the merchant and sudra the servant ,carpenter , tailor, mechanics etc (this rank is in decreasing order). The sudra are hated by the other castes ,they are also called untouchable ,because the people of other caste don’t touch the sudra .they are in the bad position of the society . this tradition is slowly decresing on .now a days the brahamin can’t change into sudra and the sudra can’t change into brahamins but this was not so in the Vedic period. In vedic period the sudra also could change into brahamins .the writer of world’s largest epic Mahabharata ,ved vyas was not brahaman yet all but he changed into brahamins because of his good work or knowledge. there is a saying in Sanskrit that a man is not a sudra or the brahamins when he borns it is his work which make him that. But this tradition is followed by the most of the hindu. Because of the hating the sudra are praised to leave the Hinduism and follow christianism or other religion, the sudra are about 30-40% in hindu population .so the population of Hinduism is decreasing on . if the social unequality can be vanished then the hindu population can be preserved .writer himself is a sudra

INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANISM

In the hindu countries such as Nepal and india ,the Christian missionaries are spreading the christianism in many ways ,by lecturing about christianism ,by helding seminar ,building churchs ,making christian clubs etc. the people are also helped economically or given money to change into Christians at first but when the person becomes very much faithful to christianism then money is also collected from them .people are also given a message that if they are ill which isn’t recovered by the hospitals then following christianism can recover it . so the people follow christianism to recover illness, to overcome unsuccessful life and some in no reason like to entertain having no solid reason. My aunt also followed christiansism because she had regular 2 children which were physically and mentally disabled, so to have a healthy child she followed christianism ,luckily following this religion she gave birth to healthy child .this may be the coincidence only because my brother who followed christianism to overcome unsuccess is also not getting apparent success in his life and my neighbor who followed to be well from mental problem isn’t apparently well . This missionaries are getting charity from western Christian countries and organization like US president Bill Clinton had helped to give charity to these missionary to spread christianism.

UNBELIEVE IN HINDU PRIESTS The people now a days are not respecting to most of the priest that they did many years ago ,because of their awareness and fault of some priests .Like a priest said that a earthquake is coming in this specific day but it didn’t came . people are now also questioning to the priest that whether most of them know the actual meaning of the Sanskrit mantras(religious poems or epics) or they are actually reading the mantras like a parrot unknowningly .they also ask questions about their knowledge about vedic and pauranic epics .the fact is also that the most of the priest only know the mantras unknowing the actual meaning of that .

EXPENSIVE FESTIVALS Some hindu are also praised to change their religion because hinduism contains many festivals which are expensive to celebrate.

REMEDY So to stop the decresement of the Hinduism we should : 1) throw out the old bad traditions like untouchability, 2) priest should be knowledgeful in their religious text, 3) Hinduism should also be spread

But stopping the Christians in violence way should not be done ,because it give wrong message to the international community Writer Shiva Sunar ,Nepal
