Q: Who are we Hindus? finalVersion ::: make sure there is only one final version;;; THIS wi Azad Kashmir ;;;

Rem: Hate by Love is conquered --- the theme of ".Bharatavarsha.” titled “.In prayer for Bharatavarsha.”;;; on occasion, it may become necessary to be silent in the face of disagreement or dissent --- the famous Buddha's Silence ! ;;;

This, I think, is the final version to build on;;; Q: Who are we Hindus? [] complete this and put it in invitingindia.com;;; keep only one copy;;;

native to India are/were Adivasis;;; a branch of Aryans came down from the north-west to India;;; there might not have been any quarrel between Adivasis and Aryans as Macaulay hypothesizes;;; the arguably superior Aryans made no effort to keep aloof from the native Adivasis;;; --- ;;; ;and, Adivasis on their part did not resist the visiting Aryans;;; the mingling of native Adivasis and visiting Aryans resulted in the populous Hindus;;; people became, by and large, one but their religions did not fully become one;;; Q: why should they? consequently, the people who are offspring Adivasis and Aryans have fundamentally two Gods --- Siva of Adivasi-descent and Vishnu of Aryan-descent;;; this seems to be very probable ;and, the third of the Trimurtis --- Brahma --- has virtually no temples in His honour ;and, seems to be introduced basically to avoid the suggestion of schism;;; it is interesting to notice Shiva-lingam is apparently inside-outside view of the primordial copulation;;; --- ;;; and the meditation “tat-tvam-asi” which may be translated as “that thou art on us” of Aryans and “Soham” which translates to “i am He I am” of Adivasis are deeply compatible;;; while Aryans made no effort to keep aloof but mingled freely with the native Adivasis, Adivasis retained their identity as sensitive people worshiping Nature to this day;;; it is a commendable {.dic_ com.a.ble adj com.mend v t to present or mention as worthy of confidence, notice, kindness, etc.} act of justice on the part of Government of India that the state of Jharkhand was formed for Adivasis;;; --- ;;;

This is potentially the only copy … be careful and retain only this, deleting the rest;;;

the spread of Hindus is very vast, encompasses virtually the entire Indian peninsula --- the present day India, Pakistan, bifurcated Kashmir, <.I imply neither India nor Pakistan rightfully has any claim on any part of Kashmir ::: Azad Kashmir may have been a step in the right direction, uniting all Kashmiris.> Bangladesh, Nepal, Butan, Sikkim and much of Afghanistan --- the entire Bharatavarsha;;; the people are called Hindus and the identity of Hindus is essentially geographic;;; there is no single religion for the entire Bharatavarsha;;; there are to begin with the religion of Siva and the religion of Vishnu;;; a single aspect that distinguishes the Hindu society is the unfortunate class system;;; {.the.} Adivasis did not belong to that system;;; consequently, those Adivasis who sought entry to the Hindu society were referred to as un-touchable because their God “the phallic {.dic_ phul.lus n: penis.}-symbol”, Siva-linga is untouchable and incomprehensible like the vast blue sky;;; ..
