No, it most certainly is not "just a way of life." That is a kindergarten-level understanding of Hindu Dharma. To some gambling in the casinos in the Mandovi is a "way of life." To Osama bin Laden and his fellow jihadis, terrorism is a "way of life." To Pele, football was a "way of life." To the Leftwing Wokes, Wokeism is a "way of life." None of these describe or circumscribe Hinduism. Using "way of life" as a descriptor for Hinduism doesn't tell anyone anything. Unfortunately many Hindus themselves unthinkingly parrot this nonsense. I could write more on this topic but why would I want to, as Jesus said, " cast pearls before swine." r
