Controversial Jagraj Singh on Khalistan question

[gjsingh]

Answer given by the late Jagraj Singh in 2013.

Synopsis: don't try to take over Punjab, it won't be a sustainable state even if the movement managed to win independence. Rather, take over India democratically by converting 600 million Harijans.

However, I don't agree with the assertion that Hinduism is a culture and not a religion, full stop. It always struck me as veiled bigotry on the part of the Hindutva crowd.

There no such thing as Hinduism. It is a recently coined terms coming from Western thinking.

In the West, they have had similar debates about the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. Lately, the term "Judeo-Christian culture" has gained a lot of currency, but quite frankly I think Christian culture is as much Greek as it is Jewish, if not more so. Just look at all the late Roman Empire mystery cults and so on.
