Dear Friend, Hinduism does not create division between rich and poor. People do. People who are Christians and muslims also have shown prejudice against poor and backward people. While Hindus are compasionate towards the disadvantaged individuals. History records of massacres commited my Christians and muslims trying to convert people and propagate their religion. Massacres are the work of evil force. The misguided and blinded friend even says that salary is the creation of Hindu Dharma. This must have been the propaganda that the missionaries taught the friend. Otherwise where in Hindu text is this mentioned? The western influence has made us money minded. Because of this we have started to think of rich and poor and untouchables. the bad western influence started long time back in history and we attribute all the bad things that they brought with them to the pure hindu culture. While any good outcome that might have come out of our own culture are generally attributed to the outside cultures.
