Talk:Bengali Hindus - Knowledge (XXG)

1076:"Hindus". If the author wishes to resurrect "Hindu" as only referring to "Indians", he is also welcome to do so; however the above religious groups in India would object to this, I'm sure, because of the overwhelmingly common notion that "Hindu" refers to practitioners of Hinduism. If the author wishes to define "Hindu" as Indians who remain loyal to the millenia old traditional practices that fall under the term "Hinduism", well then the author has failed in his ultimate purpose of redefining "Hindu" as an overarching ethnic group rather than a religious group. Though the author does not see "Hindu" as a religious term, the fact that non-dubious religious groups such as Sikhs, Muslims, and Buddhists would reject its application to them suggests the word "Hindu" has gained an inherent religious connotation by exclusion. The author will have to convince these, now assimilated, Indian religious groups that applying "Hindu" to them is appropriate. If the author rejects the idea that "Hindu" can apply to any of the mentioned religious groups, then he is betraying the fact that he, in fact, subscribes to the notion that "Hindu" refers to a separate religious group. In that case would the author be willing to create articles for each religious sub group? After all, they all have very different cultural practices and habits and therefore must be considered separate ethnic groups. Just think, we could have "Konkani Christians", "Assamese Animists", "Bengali Roman Catholics", etc. 2919:হইতে এক আকাশ , এক আলোক , এক ভৌগোলিক নদনদী অরণ্য - পর্বতের মধ্য দিয়া , অন্তর ও বাহিরের বহুবিধ ঘাতপ্রতিঘাত - পরম্পরার একই ইতিহাসের ধারা দিয়া আজ আমাদের মধ্যে আসিয়া উত্তীর্ণ হইয়াছে ।" (The word Hindu and the word Musalman doesn't refer to the same category of identity. Musalman signifies a particular religion, but Hindu doesn't signify any particular religion. Hindu is the manifestation of the national identity in the history of Bharatvarsha.) Rabindranath further elaborated on the Hindu national identity. "প্রশ্নকর্তা হয়তো জিজ্ঞাসা করিবেন, আমরা হিন্দুজাতি বলিলে যাহা বুঝি, সে জাতিত্ব কিসে স্থির হয়? তাহার উত্তর, ধর্মে। কতকগুলি ধর্ম হিন্দুধর্ম বলিয়া স্থির হইয়া গিয়াছে। হিন্দুধর্ম নামক এক মূল ধর্মের নানা শাখা-প্রশাখা চারি দিকে বিস্তারিত হইয়াছে, (তাহা হইতে আরও অনেক শাখা-প্রশাখা এখনও বাহির হইতে পারে) এই-সকল ধর্ম উপধর্ম যাহারা আশ্রয় করিয়া থাকে তাহারা হিন্দু। কিন্তু যখনি কোনো হিন্দু এই-সকল শাখা-প্রশাখা পরিত্যাগ করিয়া একেবারে সর্বতোভাবে ভিন্ন ধর্মবৃক্ষ আশ্রয় করেন তখনি তিনি আর হিন্দু থাকেন না।" He stated that Dharma was the essential feature of the Hindu nationality. Hindus adhere to any number of sects and creeds emanating out of the root of Hinduism. A Hindu ceases to be Hindu if he embraces a different religion other than those under the umbrella of Hinduism. Rabindranath made himself amply clear that Hindus are a ethnic group or a nation and not just a religious community. 1264:হইতে এক আকাশ , এক আলোক , এক ভৌগোলিক নদনদী অরণ্য - পর্বতের মধ্য দিয়া , অন্তর ও বাহিরের বহুবিধ ঘাতপ্রতিঘাত - পরম্পরার একই ইতিহাসের ধারা দিয়া আজ আমাদের মধ্যে আসিয়া উত্তীর্ণ হইয়াছে ।" (The word Hindu and the word Musalman doesn't refer to the same category of identity.

Hindus adhere to any number of sects and creeds emanting out of the root of Hinduism. A Hindu ceases to be Hindu if he embraces a different religion other than those under the umbrella of Hinduism. 1910:. There it has been clearly mentioned that as per the Constitution of India, Indian religions like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and others are considered under the umbrella of Hinduism. Therefore according Indian Constitution Brahmos are Hindus. The main principles of Brahmo philosophy are derived from the Upanishads, one of the basic texts of Hinduism. Brahmos don't have a separate holy book or personal laws. Brahmos are considered a sect just like Arya Samajis, Lingayats etc and not a separate religion. Can you site any reliable source, preferably from Rabindranath's own writings which state that he was not a Hindu? You have claimed that most of the information in this article is wrong. Would you kindly specify them? Before jumping into conclusions like worst article, communal etc, who don't you edit the article citing proper references? NPOV is one of the five pillars of Knowledge (XXG). There is no room for any kind of propaganda. Articles should have proper citations. Any unsourced content may be challenged and removed. 2407:

ethnically the same. If it were so, then the Dutch and the Flemish would have been the same people, the Germans and Austrians would have been the same, Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits would have been the same. Dear Naved, if you believe that the division between the Bengali Hindus and Bengali Muslims are artificial, would you please explain why did the Bengali Muslims support the creation of Pakistan by voting en masse for Muslim League in 1946? Why didn't independent Bangladesh make any effort to join the Indian Union? Why did the Bangladeshi state rob the Bengali Hindus using the Vested Property Act? Why the population of Bengali Hindus in Bangladesh is decreasing day by day? As long as the Bengali Muslims and Bengali Hindus would continue to exist as distinct entities in social, cultural and political aspects, the article would have all the reason to exist.

1326:

mentioned in which sense it is written and also when officially someone asked to write to what religion he belongs , the sense in which The Govt wanted to know has to be mentioned and also when you are writing as Hindu you must mention that.And that why don't you name the page as " Bengali Ethno-Hindu People " or rather " Bengali Ethno-Indus People " then we can include our all ethnic brothers (including the other religions as well ) irrespective of so called religion and consider Bengal as extended Steppe by including the Ganga river valley .Don't push someone to the interpretation of court verdicts ,several times these issues would be raised in different contexts and with time and social value systems these verdicts may change many times.

2152:

iterated. I have nowhere tried to embrace them in the domain of Hinduism. As per the Constitution of India, to be a Hindu you don't have to strictly adhere to Hinduism, you can follow either the Buddhist, Sikh or Jain religion and still be a Hindu. The term 'world religion' is very ambiguous; the Knowledge (XXG) doesn't have any article on it. And Buddhism is followed as a official religion only in four countries - Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Cambodia. I wonder if that is a criteria for 'world religion'. I find it disturbing, the tendency to construe individual identity, solely from the perspective of religious belief. Does a person only have a religious identity and nothing else?

2573:

although it is not in their religion.The present debate is much simpler than that .The issue of cast system is one of the four pillars of Hinduism ,some say , but this can't be taken as a basis for bringing other sects of religion under Hinduism .The documentation you have mentioned is ,you know, based on pure Humanitarian ground And I think from the discussion above it is clear that Constitution has not defined that , naturally.However I have no objection of the page Bengali Hindu People. And also not that I am much interested to who belongs to what. I sense some sort of cultural hegemony so I thought the voice should be raised in the age Globalisation.

2546:. The Constitution has clearly defined adherents of Buddhism to be Hindus in legal terms. The 1950 Scheduled Castes Order explicitly allows only Hindus to be classified into Scheduled Castes. But adherents of Buddhism and Sikhism have also been admitted into Scheduled Castes. Dr. Ambedkar, who framed the Constitution of India and a Scheduled Caste Hindu himself and his followers didn't lose their Scheduled Caste status when they embraced Buddhism in 1956. But if a Scheduled Caste person converts to Islam or Christianity he/she loses the Scheduled Caste status. This proves that Buddhists are considered Hindus in India. 1072:"Hindu" is used in the commonly accepted form of one who adheres to the religion of Hinduism. What "Hinduism" refers to and what "religion" connotes are topics of another debate; however it is apparent what the English world's vast majority thinks of Hindus as followers of a religion. If the author insists on having a separate article for this group of people, would it not be more appropriate to be entitled "Indian Bengalis" or "Bengali Indians" as a sub-topic of overarching "Bengali People"? 1220:

then it is an unfortunate and misleading definition . There are many other religions which haVE NOT BEEN MENTIONED .The basis or reason of the definition is not clear. To define something by saying what it is not is not assertive and incomplete .It is hard to use such definition in the concrete sense. It becomes metaphysical. A wrong thing or a blunder or mistake should not be used for to the fulfilment of any vested interest .It causes greater damage to Humanity in the long run.

774: 2106:

Court of India in its landmark verdict has stated that Hinduism is not a religion, it is a way of life. Would you call the Constitution of India and Supreme Court of India's verdict unreliable and unbiased source, narrow, parochial and against historically accepted facts? Moreover, how do you come to the conclusion that majority of Bengalis - Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus don't agree to this view? Do you have any evidence thereof?

827: 806: 438: 410: 837: 1806:

hypothesis that states that the Muslims of Bengal tend to adhere to their religious identity is wrong. But the cited reference, clearly speaks of historical times, especially before the Partition of India and not the present. However, I do understand that such citations may cause unnecessary confusions and possibly it is not absolutely necessary while discussing Bengali Hindu identity. So it has been removed.

750: 2283:. Accordingly Tagore has justified that the Jains and Buddhists were a integral part of the Hindu society. Dear brother, just because what Tagore had said contradicts what you popularly believe, you should think twice before concluding that Tagore was sentimental, or his thoughts were not based on reasons, or call him Brutus! Don't get emotional. Try to accept the reality that Tagore had wanted to convey. 498: 424: 1779:

movement was propagated in East Bengal by Bengali muslims, right? Bengali is the state language of Bangladesh, not of India, right? Amar Sonar Bangla written by Tagore is the national anthem of Bangladesh, right? So the hypothesis that muslims of Bengal tend to adhere to there religious identity is a sweeping remark which does not hold water.Please remove the unreliable onesided reference.

2202:সিদ্ধান্তে ও সাধনার ভিতর দিয়া সিদ্ধিতে উত্তীর্ণ হইতেছিল ; যাহা শ্লোকসংহিতার জটিল রজ্জুতে বাঁধা কলের পুত্তলীর মতো একই নির্জীব নাট্য প্রতিদিন পুনরাবৃত্তি করিয়া চলিতেছিল না ; বৌদ্ধ যে সমাজের অঙ্গ , জৈন যে সমাজের অংশ ; মুসলমান ও খ্রীস্টানেরা যে সমাজের অন্তর্গত হইতে পারিত ; ..." Therefore Atisha Dipankar was a Hindu. Dear brother, Unmesh, I therefore revert your deletion of Atisha's image. 672: 641: 326: 305: 274: 682: 336: 245: 190: 2448:(c) to any other person domiciled in the territories to which this Act extends who is not a Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jew by religion, unless it is proved that any such person would not have been governed by the Hindu law or by any custom or usage as part of that law in respect of any of the matters dealt with herein it this Act had not been passed. 1979:

the "losing" Hindu side in this particular matter. Secondly the Brahmo Samaj does not require renunciation of your existing religion to "follow" the universal core principles of the Brahmo Samaj in one's day to day life. Thirdly "followers of the Brahmo Samaj" are not neccesarily Brahmo religionists (who exclusively have faith in the Brahmo religion)

2125:

Sikhs as legal Hindus but not "Hindus by religion".. Mr. Bengali Hindu, you are rather agitated in propagating a back dated hagemonist communal view. Please wake up. Budhism, though originated in India, is one of the four major world religions. You can no way embrace them in the domain of hinduism. Millions of Budhhist worldwide follow teachings of

have numerous facts that are questionable such as "Bengali Hindus wanted a free India while Bengali Muslims wanted a Pakistan", "No untouchability was there among Bengali Hindus" etc. and without a single reference! Anyways, I've fixed the first issue with proper references (ref. 14 & 15). Please, check each section and you'll find. Thanks,

the Brahmo religion strictly.Most of the followers failed in this respect.This is an old and well known issue.Tagore himself asked his father of rectification.His father expressed his inability and asked the poet if he can do so.The rest you know.Whether you will accept the hard truth or not that is your choice.

2541:

from Hinduism? Please correct yourself. The Constitution doesn't use the words Buddhism or Hinduism. Moreover the point is not about Hinduism. Its about Hindu. Hindu is a geo-ethnic identity and has been in use from ancient times. Hinduism is a relatively recent coinage having had no clear definition

1634:

I think you are biased to tag it with Hindu Mahasabha.Mention the portions and references. It is a free editing article.Bengali speaking people following Brahmic religions is a ground reality ; it can not be denied.However some individuals editing the article may be biased . Everyone will be happy if

1321:

In Indian Constitution , In the articles you referred , it is not written that Hinduism is not a religion , It is also not written that Brahmoism( sometimes mentioned as Adi-dharm) and those others sects believed to be originated from or extracted from ideas of ancient Indian writings are same as or

1293:

Again your Reference does not mention the verdict of the court and the case .It contains only some person' s articulate and selected mentioning of some writings. I also do not understand what is the debate or what they want to say .The whole thing seems to be creating a great nonsense for our future

1238:

Dear brother, please refer to sub-clause (b) of clause (2) of article 25 of the Constitution of India, which clearly explains that the Hindu identity encompasses Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists also. The Supreme Court of India in its landmark verdict has stated that Hinduism is not a religion, it is a way

1216:

Ambiguous interpretation should be avoided."Hindu" now primarily denotes a religion. No other religious group or any person belonging to any other religion ever mentioned or agreed to mention them as belonging to Hindu-ethnicity.Mainly a section of fanatic Hindus are demanding this. The word might be

3610:

Limitless bias have been expressed in the article. And why not since, the article creator declares himself as a BengaliHindu. This obviously raises questions of neutrality for articles particularly on "Bengali Hindus". Its a issue of BengaliHindu-fanaticism. The article needs to be re-written from a

2619:

The idealisation of Indus Land Civilisation is an intellectual construct .Tagore's article is an wonderful example of that .We Bengalis( irrespective of any religion) are very fond of such practice .It is like fashion of our intellectualism. What Tagore wrote , he never practised that in real life.

2313:

Hey brother Bengali Hindu! Go through 'Oxford High School History' book series. You will find 4 major religions of the world as : Cristianity, Islam, Buddhism & Hinduism.Countries like China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar- all have a vast buddhist population.Budhism therefore is as important

2124:

I dont find Murad to be agitated. Rather he is absolutely right. Followers of religions indegenous to India do not have any separate personal law. Fine but that does not mean they are religion wise Hindu.Furthermore the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 has defined the legal status of Jains, Buddhists and

2105:

Dear brother Murad, please don't be agitated. This is not a forum for causing any inter-religious disputes. Please refer to sub-clause (b) of clause (2) of article 25 of the Constitution of India, which clearly explains that the Hindu identity encompasses Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists also. The Supreme

Maharshi Debendranath Tagore (the founder of the Brahmo religion), being part of an old and extended Hindu family, continued to permit certain Hindu religious rituals in his Adi Brahmo Samaj out of deference to his family. However, today all Brahmo religionists would unhesitatingly declare that they

The untouchability was strongly there among Bengali Hindus. We don't have to go far as one can easily know this if they read the childhood of Swami Vivekananda as we did in our schooling. I'll be giving more references from the books and elsewhere with 3 to 4 days. I'm sorting them out. The article

3380:

In Bengal, there was no untouchability unlike in other parts of India. In other parts of India, untouchability was based on physical contact, sometimes contact with one's shadow. If upper caste people especially Brahmins touched certain lower caste people or even trampled on the shadow of the lower

2406:

The Bengali Hindus and Bengali Muslims have different social structures, cultural aspects, historical perspectives and more importantly constitute different political entities. The boundary line between India and Bangladesh bears a mute testimony to that fact. Language alone doesn't make two people

2025:

Now-a-days hardly there will we find any follower of Brahmo religion .There may be a Brahmo-samaj .Some official bodies and few organisations. Then why to create so much chaos by wanting them to bring under the same umbrella of Hinduism ( irrespective of whatever may be sense of the word) .We don't

1805:

Thank you dear brother Al Minar for raising a very pertinent question. Your are correct - Bengali Language Movement was started in East Bengal in 1952. Bengali is the official language of Bangladesh. The Bengaliness of Bangladeshi people is perhaps more than the Indian Bengali people. Therefore any

1997:

Brahmos (ie. exclusively Brahmo religionists) are governed by the secular laws of the country of their residence. For example in India, they would be governed by the "Special Marriages Act 1872, or 1954", "The Indian Succession Act", "The Guardians and Wards Act", etc. In addition Brahmos are also

1991:

These Hindu laws are certainly applicable to those Hindus who are also "followers" of the Brahmo Samaj, just as similarly as the Islamic Laws would be applicable to any Mohammedans who are also "followers" of the principles of the Brahmo Samaj etc. Since membership of the various Brahmo Samajes is

1978:

Certain legal authorities like Maynes have misrepresented that "all Brahmos are Hindus and nothing but Hindus" because they continue to be Hindus after "conversion". Since Maynes' treatise "Hindu Law" is otherwise such an authority this canard has been widely spread. Firstly J.M.Maynes represented

1887:

Most informations of this article are wrong. Some communal sentiment is working behind the concept.Many cultural and religious ideologies have been marginalised. It strongly expresses a Religious cultural Hegemony.This is highly condemnable. People of many different religions have been shown under

Regarding the Religion Rabindra Nath Tagore Practised there is well documented social history.He was not born Hindu neither ever he practised Hinduism in his personal or social life as practised by religious Brahmins. He maintained caste system in marriage. That was a failure in his life to obey

Untouchability is surely present in the Bengali Hindu community especially in west Bengal. This surely deserves a mention in the article. Besides, there are severe biased views in the History part of the article. I'm currently looking at the books used as references in the article which make some

Dear friend, I doubt the term Indus Land Civilization. Maybe you want to mean Indus valley Civilization or Sindhu Saraswati Civilization. Whether M.F. Husain was a sincere ambassador is debatable, and you haven't provided any reference to it, it is totally irrelevant in the context of the Bengali

2510:

I think your Interpretation is wrong .The constitution clearly acknowledge the Identity of the Religions Like Sikh, Jain or Buddhism as distinct from Hinduism. They only mentions of the common implication of the term " reference" .I think you should consult constitution expert and academician.I

2375:

The affirmation that the Bengali hindus form a different ethno-linguistic identity is totally incorrect.Because we all know that the Bengali muslims also belong to the same ethno-linguistic group. Bengali muslims are ethnically and linguistically same as their Hindu brothers. They also share the

Hindus etc. In that case it has nothing to do with Bengali Ethnicity other than a religious context .It is a deliberate misleading attitude .Bengalis are linguist group ,not a ethno-linguist group. It never was so. The definition of Hindu Marriage Act as you have mentioned , if it really be so ,

1071:

This article introduces unnecessary confusion into the topic of "Bengalis" in general. Doing a quick wikipedia search for other commonly accepted Indian ethnic group + the "hindu" modifier (e.g. "Marathi hindu", "Gujurati hindu") only yields an article for "Punjabi Hindu". In this case the word

Yes there is a cultural integrity and that is more close to ethnicity and may be represented by the word Hindus.We should not get into debate for nothing.The correct source of informations should be given. Any sect believing in origin from Brahma May be thought of as belonging to Hindus or Indus

Hello creator, As i am seeing the article is missing a lot of things and need to added as fast as you can.. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the most famous leader and the biggest puja of gaur bengal is durga puja and also jagadhatri puja which is established by maharaja krishnachandra! Thank you Editor

If you have realised what Tagore realised then U will find that M.F.Hussain was one of the most eminent and sincerest worshipper of that archetype of civilisation which may be thought of having as much originality similar to that of European continental civilisation .But then why branding it as

I think it is crystal clear what Tagore wanted to mean. Dear brother Arijit, if you read the entire article you'll find that Tagore has clearly stated that the Hindus are a nation and not just a religious community, just like the Muslims and Christians. Tagore always referred to the Hindus as a

Regarding Tagore's statement of identity being superficial or not, please cite relevant verifiable sources to substantiate what you are trying to say. Do not try to promote your own point of view. What do want to mean by saying that Tagore's statement of identity is superficial? When he himself

The truth I got , The Constitution has said nothing in regard to Whether A particular sect is Hindu or Non -Hindu .The issue of Scheduled Cast or rather of cast system is unique or peculiar of Indian system .Even isolated tribes and people of other religions living in India obeys cast system

If the author wishes to resurrect the archaic use of "Hindu" or "Hindoo" as a reference to people who are native to the subcontinent, he is welcome to do so. Note, though, that doing so would mean that even Sikhs, Jains, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Animists, etc. would then also be called

2151:

Dear brother Unmesh, I guess you have the misunderstanding that Hindu is only a religious identity. It is not. It is a geo-ethnic, cultural and legal identity. The Constitution of India, includes the Buddhists within Hindus, but doesn't include Buddhism within Hinduism and that is what I have

Rabindranath Tagore has clearly stated in his essay Hindu Vishwavidyalaya that Buddhists and Jains are also Hindus - "সেই বৃহৎ বিচিত্র , জীবনের - বেগে - চঞ্চল , জাগ্রত চিত্তবৃত্তির তাড়নায় নব নব অধ্যবসায়ে প্রবৃত্ত হিন্দু সমাজ — যে সমাজ ভুলের ভিতর দিয়া সত্যে চলিয়াছিল ; পরীক্ষার ভিতর দিয়া
