Not letting in non-Hindus inside the temple of Pasupathinath is wrong interpretation of Hindhu beliefs I believe. I believe it displays the narrowminded attitude of some so called "ture Hindus" because it will protray all Hindus as people who exclude people of non-Hindu beliefs. I guess these people should try to understand their beliefs in more detail and they need better understanding of Hindu teachings. These people could be in big dilemma if some people of European origin (who converted to Hindu) try to get inside the temple. I believe in every religion there have been attempts to twist the facts and preceptions of religion in order to gain greater political and social accendence by some people or a group of people. Hinduism suffers in this matter more than other religions. Buddhism suffers the least among all religions. Probably this was the reason why many people turned to Buddhism from Hinduism in ancient India in order to escape the exclusion they suffered within their own former religion.
