Make Sanskrit compulsory in Nepali education system. Then these people will have direct access to Vedas and Upanishads rather than reading translation by a western scholar! The reason why Nepal and India went downhill is because we forgot our roots. We forgot the beautiful Sanskrit language.

The article reads okay-ish but since it is posted on controversial thread; I feel the write is novice about the religion as a whole and wonders how the editors let him print those novice claims. Plus, I am not sure about if he is talking about legit religion or religious texts (prolly some human wrote for his/her benefits)
Comparing three major core he pointed out:
Core 1: Hindus or Jains or Buddhists don’t go around the world trying to convert people from other religions
--> mainly because there weren't massive competition (like between Muslim and christian) to start with. Plus, didn't Buddhist/Jains went to tons of place to "spread" their knowledge.
Core 2: In Hinduism, the path to moksha is not that easy
--> Bruh, read some Hindu religious text. If you die on certain religious date, or say some god's name at your last breath; you get mukti.
Core 3:principle of Hinduism is the idea of God’s omnipresence
--> We only celebrate animals/trees/even rivers if they are mentioned as a god in our religious text, if not, we don't eg: cats (especially black cats).

Like too see that text where it is mentioned taking God's name at last breath gets you mukti.
Like to see text about black cats. And if Buddhist try to convert so one can go heaven if become Buddhist. Spreading knowledge is not same as converting.

People have no idea what "Mukti" is. Mukti is freedom from bondage of Samsara. Bondage happens in ignorance. Opposite of ignorance is knowledge. Knowledge alone gives you Freedom or Mukti. Also, remembering god's name at your last breath is not that easy when you have lived your entire life focusing on money, family, relatives, entertainment, etc. Memory itself doesn't work properly at that dying age! Also, who knows when you will die and how? Without Self-Knowledge, there is no Mukti no matter how many times you remember god's name. Gods can assist you in the path of Mukti, but it is your own self effort that can help you cross the ocean of Samsara. You cannot deny the law of karma. Your punya karma must be higher than your paap karma to get better circumstances and better Lokas. Just by remembering god 1 time at your last breath will not increase your punya in a way that all your paap karmas gets destroyed. Even Atmas who get swarga Lokas have to come back to Earth after their punya karmas gets exhausted.
