As one who is world religion literate and fascinated by the role of religion in human lives, I found this excellent. May your life-affirming take on what Hinduism is and how it should be lived take hold and grow deep roots that smother the ugly version. May this be true of the authentic representation of all wholesome religions around the world as we realize humanity is ONE and should comport itself that way!
A very important insight: “In a world where resistance to authority is growing, Hinduism imposes no authorities; in a world of networked individuals, Hinduism respects the truths of others; in a world of open-source information-sharing, Hinduism accepts all paths as equally valid; in a world of rapid transformations and accelerating change, Hinduism is adaptable and flexible ... “
"In a world where resistance to authority is growing, Hinduism imposes no authorities; in a world of networked individuals, Hinduism respects the truths of others; in a world of open-source information-sharing, Hinduism accepts all paths as equally valid; in a world of rapid transformations and accelerating change, Hinduism is adaptable and flexible, even introducing the world’s oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action program in the Constitution to overturn the institutional hierarchies of the orthodox caste system—which is why it has survived for nearly 4,000 years. And why a committed liberal can so easily embrace it."
If that's really the case then
1 Why Hinduism is the only religion which is attacked/targeted mostly by Liberal gangs?
2 why all the burden of practising secularism only goes to hindus's shoulder?
Hinduism is able to tolerate even atheists then why are you being so dogmatic about vaidic hinduism now? Allow it take whatever form it(Hinduism )wants to take to tackle 21st century challenges .
After all hinduism has never been a static religion it has evolved overtime then why are you stopping its natural evolution now?
What makes you feel that it has reached at it's optimum evolution level that you are trying to obstruct it by claiming that you are the original hindu . Let's the hindus decide which version they chose for their future.

Wonderful read and reminder of why "liberal" also can mean "generous."
According to this article
"In a world where resistance to authority is growing, Hinduism imposes no authorities; in a world of networked individuals, Hinduism respects the truths of others; in a world of open-source information-sharing, Hinduism accepts all paths as equally valid; in a world of rapid transformations and accelerating change, Hinduism is adaptable and flexible, even introducing the world’s oldest and farthest-reaching affirmative action program in the Constitution to overturn the institutional hierarchies of the orthodox caste system—which is why it has survived for nearly 4,000 years.

It's a step in the right direction, i.e. toward secularism.
Accepting all religions as true is essentially pitching all religions in the trash basket, no?
Very nice. Inglorious Empire was the most interesting book I read in 2023.
