What they say
Hindus are intolerant and violent against minorities.
The Truth
India has been the ONLY civilization that never invaded another country, never persecuted other religions, and gave refuge to Jews, Zoroastrians, Syrian Christians, and Tibetan Buddhists when they were persecuted everywhere else. The concept 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (world is one family) is uniquely Hindu.
आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः
“Let noble thoughts come to us from every direction.”
— Rigveda 1.89.1
Jews fled to India 2000 years ago and were never persecuted. Zoroastrians (Parsis) fled Iran and found refuge in Gujarat. Syrian Christians arrived in Kerala in 52 CE. Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhists found home in Dharamsala. India has 300,000+ mosques — more than any Islamic country. The world's oldest churches and synagogues are in India.
