I think this page should read like a seed page with a quick synopsis and links to other various pages which detail the events more elaborately. Currently there is another page History of Hinduism that is also struggling for direction and replicates the purpose of this page, should they be merged?
I started straightening out and rearranging the format of sections but then I gave when I ran into rather strange sections having no idea what to do with them. I have tagged thos sections appropriately. --Tigeroo 07:51, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- This could be a really valuable page, because Hinduism is a fascinating religion, and it has had so much influence on Indian culture and on other religions; it has also helped shape the world in which we live today. On the other hand, this page makes so many gross generalizations and one-sided claims without providing source citations. Unfortunately, this page reads more like propaganda literature than an encyclopedic entry. At least, that's my opinion. --Loki125 08:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
OK, so i changed a bit of thew comparison wioth judaism section - however it's not really parallel with Judaism. Actually it is parallel with some new age non-judaic kabalistic beleifs, which are partially informed by Hiduism, among other sources, so its not really a useful comparison.
I added a few missing blank spaces.--Patillotes 15:25, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the "relations to judaism" section needs to be removed entirely. I am a student of religious history and there is no eveidence that any of the claims made therein are true. I would love to provide a source to prove this but the fact is that since this is almost a complete fabrication by the author there is very little reliable material on the topic. There have been claims, however, by biased authors both Hindu and Judeo-Christian in perspective that attempt to trace the origin of the other religion to their own. However, these are, as stated previously, very biased and based on sketchy evidence and should be disscused in another article, perhaps liked to this, or not at all.Pzureick (talk) 09:43, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
