I’ve read the Mahabharata, been to a few temples, mixed with Hindus but still know little about this religion. What I really learnt is to be careful with the fundamentalists! They want to (re)unite India all the way through Hinduism, and get rid of the “foreign sources of all Indian problems”, the Muslims and the Christians…
In Chamundi Hill an old half naked beardy Hindu has showed his fist to me, while the Indians around him advised me to please go away. Love and peace?!
Apart from this little incident, they are very friendly and nice, especially in the Tamil Nadu!
