Comments on: The dreaded “H-word” – excerpts http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/03/12/the-dreaded-h-word/ Dedicated to "Bharat" and "Dharma" Tue, 22 May 2012 14:46:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Munish http://satyameva-jayate.org/2007/03/12/the-dreaded-h-word/comment-page-1/#comment-784 Munish Tue, 10 Apr 2007 03:34:06 +0000 http://hindudharma.wordpress.com/2007/03/12/the-dreaded-h-word/#comment-784 I have also notice this. Words like "nirvana" and "karma" have become common place (at least here in the U.S.). Most people do not know what they mean let alone their origin. Many of these terms are, today, associated with Buddhism and it is not generally known about their origins. People other than Hindus (i.e. people other than Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs) have defined, to some degree, aspects of Hinduism. It must start from Hindus themselves. We must not be afraid or embarrassed to claim that we are Hindus no matter where we may live. We may not proselytize but we must also, in the most respectful manner, correct misconceptions about Hinduism as much as possible. I have also notice this.

We need lot of positive messages - in the media, outside and a lot of positive influence as you say... It is pity that we are becoming increasingly wary about declaring our identity - even when there is so much to be proud of in being a Hindu. Dolia, I completely agree…
