jasus saheb, i don't mind hindus converting into buddhist. However that is not the issue we were discussing. you completely ducked the issues raised by sameer and me. i don't care if all hindus convert to buddhist or christians. They say survival of the fittest. However i will try my best to defend good things about everything and do away with bad things. if hinduism dies after my death so be it. let me ask you few questions in complete honesty: 1. you say buddhism christianity ( forgot to include islam?) are growing and hinduism is dying: .....maybe because hinduism doesn't seek conversion? maybe because hinduism is only world famous for how bad the caste system is? just because something is growing doesn't prove anything. 2. Do you think if you strictly follow buddhism and still be a warrior? you also said you are not buddha. agreed! you are only buddhist. okay so what does that mean ? you just want a religious label. Why you call yourself buddhist if you can't follow his teachings? 3. even i don't buy sameer 's version of history that all who converted were buddhist. However if they are monks they will probably flee from the conflict . and please REMEMBER THAT IT IS NOT THE LACK OF COURAGE BUT THE MORAL CONVICTION OF NON VIOLENCE THAT WILL CAUSE THE DEMISE OF THE POPULATION. i am not commenting on your stone age comment you can make better arguments than that
