    Many hindus foolishly have a soft spot for buddhism

    The fact is that buddhists despise us

    In 1937, the partition of Myanmar from India was done by the agitation of buddhist monks

    In buddhist thailand, they hate Indians and kiss ass of chinese

    In post independence Myanmar, 6 million tamil hindus have been forced to declare
    themselves as buddhists

    The Buddhists of Bhutan have expelled their hindu population

    The tibetan buddhists prior to the chinese invasion of 1950, were trying to get back ladakh and arunachal pradesh

    In the west, buddhists do everything to disavow their hindu roots

    I also seriously question whether dalits were ever buddhists

    IMHO, untouchability began with buddhism
    In Japan, the butchers became burakumin or untouchable

    In thailand, the butchers are of a low caste

    The jataka tale puts meat eating communities as low caste

    There is no perfection in any '_____ism' :)

    The Buddha philosophy is not about hurting anybody. But helping one to understand suffering and how to cope with it wisely.
