Unlike the semitic religions where religion and spritualism are coupled, in India they are mostly treated distinctly though are interconnected at times, Religion as a way of life is what we call as Hinduism and spiritualism as advocated by our great saints is absolutely holistic and devoid of any religious overtures. Spritualism is more scientific and logical. Religion as always is a set of rules defined by and for the advantages of the dominant people to perpetuate their dominance over others at the same time maintain a semblemce of decorum either by force or volition, else the system would collapse. Hinduism in that sense has elaborated certain good aspects of its spiritualistic counterpart but does have a lot of bad/senseless practices borne our of dogmatism and ill will towards certain section of the people. The latter was so pronounced in hinduiusm to get the unique place among the religions of the world as the only religion to discriminate its own people. The shamless part of it is, even today, even in this same forum there are supporters for such inhuman principles.
