Unfortunately the Hindus are made to forget the religion while other religions have become more dominating & more evangelizing...The talk of Secularism is only for the Hindus & not for the rest..This is the present day dichotomy in India...I saw Renuka using the term Ilichavayan...The Hindus feel other religions are more powerful...That sums up the status of our current Hindu society.

We shouldn't blame other faiths/religions for our own confused ideologies.

It is the same Renuka or any iyer/Advaitin, would say God can take any form, incl of Allah and Jesus. Now, when the christian or Muslim, considers our gods' worship as idol-worship, why do you blame him for our mis-understanding on secularism or call ourselves as 'IllichavAyan'?

Start understanding our scriptures/philosophy clearly, and stop considering every guru/devotee as a God. You don't have to blame the other religions for your own humble-like hypocrisy. Accept that we hindus pray to Gods based on Fear or Personal-benefits or plain-ignorance of our scriptures/Philosophy, whereas other faiths have a better understanding on the Supremacy of their 'Only God'. Plus, We hindus are naive to relate/equate the nature of our Gods and others.

P.S:

Regd, the Poll and the OP,

We may be losing the Hindu values, but how does that matter, unless We clearly understood what was meant/expected from us, in our ShAstras. Our Hindu ShAstras, though vehemently/loudly promotes dharmA, it is totally for individual realization. Thus, Hindu Scriptures and their messages are immortal and will be revived time and again by some great acharyas for the redemption of those few good souls. Thus, not following hindu culture or following hindu rituals, will have no impact on the 'ApaurushEyam' of Truth behind Vedas and Reality.

Coming to the Poll, it should be phrased as
'Are we losing our Hindu value System and Its Understanding?'. Answer, may be 'Yes'. For some-people, 'No', as we can perform only within the current societal/environmental system (Kali Yuga set-up), as Renuka pointed out.

But, noone has any role in the "power of our Value System/Vedas/Reality"
[except for the Will of the Lord, ofcourse on the basis of the karma of all those involved].
