141 Hindus Promotes Unity Within Diversity, While Christians & Muslims Are Violent

Hinduism promotes unity within diversity vs conquering & converting. When we give exceptions (like Islam & Christianity) we are actually misinterpreting Sanatana Dharma & making up our own religion. The exception is to violence. Sanatana Dharma promotes defending one's self. Live 12.28.2024.
