Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law.It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.
Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:
>A single founder, >A specific theological system, >A single concept of deity, >A single holy text, >A single system of morality, >A central religious authority, >The concept of a prophet.
Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.
The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. >Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. >People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source. >At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser.
Kali Yuga with regard to human relationships
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur. >People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that. >Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life. >Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish. >People will take vows and break them soon after. >People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs. >Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.
> The major influences occurred when light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. There's a retarded theory among Russians about ancient proto-Rus peoples inventing vedism, thus inventing the civilization as we know it for today.

That's we wuz tier cause a migration before the iron age does not define a whole civilization but we do have a shared heritage
Angel Gray
Good for you
William Kelly
Literally keked.
I don’t know why we give Indians such crap. At least they aren’t fucking Muslims.
I’ll raise the red flag with you bros.
Juan Cooper
Some insecure fags in India believe that theory, there's some good evidence that suggests that hinduism that exists today is most probably a mixture of religions followed by IVC people, Indian natives and the "aryan" immigrants.
Are you kidding me? The Brahmin "extremists" are adamant that they are the Indo-european aryan invaders and they brought hinduism along with them.
Jaxon Phillips
Yeah, the fucking muslims. One thing at a time!
Julian Barnes
Topkek, I've only heard that from commies and Dalit I've never met anyone who actually believes that but could be
Austin Bell
That's why I said 'extremists', dalits say that in order to paint brahmins as evil invaders/oppressors, the extremist brahmins say that in order to feel superior.

What's the Hindu opinion on the caste system? I watched a vid with some dharmic guy who seemed to agree with it
Caleb Carter
It's a social system hijacked by slave master to create new slaves i agree with the social aspect of it but bit in its current form /implementation
Dominic Martinez
*not
Easton Carter
His view was something along the lines of "It's a moral failing/weakness to tell someone of average-below ability they can be anyone they want to be, ie CEO or some shit." Pushing them ultimately down a path to failure and malcontent. Britain has been utterly poisoned by the "everybody is special/winner" bs which from my estimation has a fair bit to do with the levels of depression in our women etc.
Did it ever work?
Angel Ramirez
>This is the shittiest "religion" I've ever heard of.
Shittier than a religion than was accidentally founded by an whore who just wanted to hide the fact that she got drunk and knocked up by some random guy she doesn't even know?
Or shittier than a religion that was invented by a guy who just wanted to fuck little kids and get away with it?
I don't think so!
Brody Baker
Yes it did work when it was merit based i'm not saying we should follow everyone is special routine but if somone is slow or more suitable for non cerebral tasks he shouldn't be left behind we're a volk a people of the land individual growth means nothing and everything at the same time
Nolan Lee
Also what is your opinion on western hippies trying to co-opt Hinduism. It seems to me like they take what they like and declare it canon. Russell Brand and the like Ah so it was meant to be a merit based system that morphed through vested interests etc into a racial one. Do you think India will be able to bring compassion back into it and make it politically viable, or is it completely off the books
Jayden Lopez
>seems to me like they take what they like and declare it canon. Russell Brand and the like You're describing anglo(Hwhite) scientists at work it plagues even india most young people have a very shallow abhramic understanding of Hinduism and tbqh if the hippies find some spiritual guidance through it i'm happy for them. >racial More like patriarchal
Aiden Sanders
It's never completely off the books but until we have devisive political system like democracy which benifits from dividing people into groups it's not gonna happen
Eli Lewis
>You're describing anglo(Hwhite) scientists at work it plagues even india Try living in ground zero, the graduate caste over here are so arrogant it beggars belief. This new moral colonialism they are forcing on the world i think is almost as bad as actual colonialism in how seditious it is. It's just another control method, it is quite genius in a Machiavellian way, really it's just a way of new york and london getting access to all the markets on their terms Does India suffer from the same Left/Right polarisation as the west?
James Turner
>Does India suffer from the same Left/Right That's a really complicated question to answer our politics is too young to really have a right left divide all I can tell you is that elections aren't fought on actual issues they're just fought on who can appease to the most number of groups
