elicity , if you say burkha is not product of islam then i say caste system is not product of hinduism either. The both kind of descrimination are due to socioeconomic stucture of the society.As the society gets more educated these social evils gets eradicated automatically. The person who use to do sun pani - i bet didn't had good educational background(no offense intended) Now you may argue even educated people do descriminate.then U need to think this way Doesn't descrimination exist in most developed nations? You have free to choose your religion go ahead with ur choice but not because you found bad things about hindu religion .Hindu religion has much more to offer. You said - shiva linga - u are ashamed of worshipping. Do you know that whole world runs on that!!that is the symobol that defines the fetilzation.You are modern you need to explore the modern meanings of the each and every aspect of hinduism.the symbol that whole world worships :) Unlike some people who just know how to put down thier own religion in Sajah. Times has changed ,before people were not taught logically the teachings of hinduism.Give your self a sec and think what we do in hindusim and why we do that.Gita is an excellent example to lead your life .what didn't you find in Gita that you found in Islam. I can give you good teachings on that. i am not guru on hindu religion- my interpretation.It is most logical and scientific religion.Unlike others who were just branches of reforms .Some person appeared and started against social issue and new religion begins. I think they are more political then religion.i have respect for my religion and i don't want to say bad about other religion to upset other people. Are you sure the reason behind your conversion is due your childhood? I smell something else.If you are doing this for your love . What kind of love you got who doesn't even respect your beliefs?(nothing personal)Does love need religion. .I think the biggest teaching of hinduism is love and other religion (i know agrees as well)
