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.
