The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.

assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
