Santosh Ji, thank you so much for your wonderful words, we resonate :)! IMI ji, thanks for your view. Felicity Ji, I don't think we have any differences. Not only you and me, most of us are against the impurities of our society like caste system. I don't think it will last long because we are the new generation and don't want it anymore. A wise person always realize one's own weak point. Unlike most of the Nepali (arrogance: मेरो गोरुको बार्है टक्का), you realized that you have not studied Hinduism. You deserve respect. If I were you, I would have studied Buddhism instead of Hinduism. Since Buddhism was born and grew in Hinduism, it includes Hinduism in it. You will be able to understand real, practicle Hinduism prevailing at the time of Buddha through the study of त्रिपिठक (Buddhist literature). All dark and bright parts of it. Another reason is, Buddhism is Historical, which makes it more real. Good for scientists like you :). .......................................... Regarding my last question that what makes you to orient towards Islam, you mentioned mainly two reasons. 1. You like the idea of Islam because it believes in a single god. I would say, this must be just your personal choice. I don't think there is any advantage of one god over many gods. To me one god or more gods or no god, all are theory without any scientific base. Monotheist, Polithiests, atheist all are believers. It's just a personal choice, like red color versus blue color. Some like red color some like blue color, there is no special advantage of red over blue or vice versa. Please enlighten us if concept of Monotheism is more scientific than Paganism (seriously I don't see any). 2. You dislike the malpractices (like caste system) of Hinduism I also dislike malpractices of Hinduism and there are many like us. You are studying Koran, a pure theoritical Islam. Real Islam has severe problems; perhaps worser than the caste system. You have been bycutting all the wrong practices of Islam just by saying ......it is not in Koran ......its not the real Islam....Islam is misunderstood etc etc. However, you are considering worng practices of Hinduism (like caste system, animal secrifice etc ) as a real Hinduism. As a wise person, a scientist, please, re-evalute yourself if you are doing justice! Next I will write malpractices of Islam. Hope you as well as other people will add more. Hope this all will help you to make right decision........ Please don't take this as a debate. I am writing just because my understanding may help you to make a right decision during your convertion process :). Please share your Muslim wisdom with us too; we will certainly appreciate.
