Hinduism or the Sanatana Dharma
Introduction
Well, where does one begin when
confronted with as vast a subject as Hinduism. We would recommend beginning with
the FAQ on Hinduism, where many questions are answered in an introductory
fashion. There is also listed a list of reference books in the FAQ section
for further reading. See also the section on Core Values
for the value system which has its roots in Hindu ethics. We intend this section
to be a resource material for all Hindus and non-Hindus, but especially for
Hindu children growing up in America

Read on and make up your own mind. The portrayal
is consistently negative and demeaning. There are 2 aspects to this 1,why go out
of the way to denigrate another's tradition and hold his/her religion
responsible for any incidents of such behavior. 2.Are the allegations true ?
The answer is less than satisfactory on
both counts. What was the true status of women in Ancient India ?see the
