Are All Religions Equal?
In the entire world, in India alone, the religion of the country does not have the governmental protection; The Indhu Religion is the India's Religion and this Indhu Religion is not given due pride and righteousness in Indian Politics.
Mostly from the time of India's freedom movement till today nine out of ten politicians of India declared themselves as Atheists. And they do not accept the Indhu religion alone; but remain as the protectors of religions foreign to Indian soil. Because of this, Indhu religion has not been given any significance in India. Further, Indian government did not show interest in printing and circulating the Indhu religion's philosophy i.e. Indhu Vedham in all Indian languages so that educated, well-read people and less-educated people could read the Indhu Vedham easily.
In today's India no one is well-versed in the books of Indhuism. Therefore, with poor knowledge of their religion; the casteism, caste inequalities, untouchabilities and sanatan dharma are talked elaborately. But Adhisivanaar gave forth the Indhu Vedham in the divine language Tamil because the eight hundred plus races in this world were continuously fighting with each other to maintain the inequalities, untouchabilties, enmities, etc to cause endless destructions, damages, conflicts and worrisome life to all.
In order to bringforth unity, co-operation, brotherhood, equality and peace among all the races, countries and the linguistic groups of this world, Adhisivanaar gave Indhu Vedham that describes about gods, divine life, problems of life beyond the grasp of human intelligence and efforts, the remedies to these problems, etc. He also gave the Indhu Religion that describes the practical aspects based on the Indhu Vedham.
When these facts are clearly existing, the Indian politicians lie to the people that all religions are one and the same. It is due to their selfishness, greediness, partisanship, etc. If all religions are same, why are the names of the gods differ? why are the prayer procedures differ? why are the ceremonies differ? why are the dress-code, food habits and offerings differ? why are there different institutions in the name of religions? why are there religious conversions? why are there religious conflicts?
If the people compel the politicians to give answers to these questions then only the politicians will start thinking. If the people are requested to find answers to these questions, then only the public will realize that the politicians and political parties are cheating them. When the slogan ‘Be Indian, Buy Indian’ is raised in order to remove the poverty in India; why are we afraid of saying that India needs only Indhu Religion which is based on India's culture and civilisation in order to remove the poverty and emptiness in India?
If there is a statement that ‘We are all Indians’; then we all in India should be only Indhus. That is to say, Indhu means Indian, Indian means Indhu. So, in order to be Indian, one should essentially be an Indhu!
The people of foreign religions living in India consider that they are essentially foreigners. Further they aim to enslave India to the foreign country where their religion originated. Thus these people of foreign religions never accept themselves as Indians. They also do not consider India as their mother country. Under these circumstances, how can the Indian Politicians say all religions are equal in India? How can the political parties permit such politicians function in their parties? Why are there different concessions and laws for different religions in order to protect these foreign religions?
How long the Indian politicians will continue cheating the Indhus of India?
Please think!

Note:
In India there is ‘Hindutva’ actively propagated by some groups as well as political parties. They don't have the Indhu Vedham for Indhu Religion. They use some Sanskrit literature as their basis and never let anyone read the literature from where they talk about Casteism, rules of Agama, varnasrama dharma, etc. The Manu dharma itself has not been openly printed and distributed to all Indhus. So, people get many doubts and there are no answers to all these doubts or questions. Only the Indhu Vedham given by Pathinen Siddhars explains all these clearly. The Indhu Vedham is given only in Tamil and it can be fully understood only through Tamil. Yet some attempts are made by us to translate some thoughts in English to clear the doubts of others.
