A devote Muslim, Aurangzeb reinstated the jizya, which enraged Hindus. He also ostracized and discriminated against the Sikhs. This is why the Sikhs and Muslims still harbor hateful sentiments for each other. Hindu provinces rebelled against the Mughals and split off from the empire. By 1750, government-ship was back in the hands of Hindus in many places across India.
The Islamic religion had five pillars that would surely get them into paradise and if they didn’t complete the pillars then they would be punished after death by being sent to the Hellfire. The Indian culture used the values karma and dharma to instill good morals
Introduction: In the text by Eboo Patel “Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation,” Patel focuses on living in a diverse faction full of religious prejudice in a world full of materialistic outlooks. At the same time he intertwines his personal experiences and provides a remarkable account in which he says that growing up in America as a Muslim led him to discover the importance of cultural pluralism, the acceptance of all religions, and his huge account that all Muslims aren’t extremists. He believes in ethnocentrism; religions should be able to coexist without feeling that one religion is superior than the other. In a world where the forces that seek to divide us are strong, Patel thinks the meaning of pluralism is that the differences
Both went through great periods of tolerance. Each empire could be seen as one that accepted people of all religions. At times each empire had rulers who accepted Hindus and Christians with open arms (Gale). However the Mughals had trouble practicing it at some times. “Alienated groups were the Rajputs (a sect of Hindu warriors), the Jats (a distant branch of the Rajputs), and the Marāthās (a sect of Hindus from Maharashtra, a region in west-central India).
Under the charter people are free to practice their religion and express their beliefs. However even this has limitations in many cases practicing one’s religion has led to the impeachment of another’s rights. An example of religious rights being violated to protect another’s is seen the case of a Sikh teen wearing a kirpan3. In Sikhism, a person is tasked with wearing one of five different items always, to symbolize their belief in their top most religious figure. One of them being a kirpan which is a small knife or ceremonial dagger.
Hinduism is the oldest religion and judaism is the most popular religion, do you think they could be related? Judaism is a very popular religion and one of the oldest. While Hinduism is the oldest and even more popular despite its relatively small concentration. That 's why there difference and similarities may surprise you.
In addition, Nehru explained that Muslims “are of us and will remain of us whatever happens” (Document 2). Not only did Gandhi help to achieve what each religion wanted, but did so while himself and Nehru encouraged Hindus and Muslims to remain
A Blend Religion Sikhism is monotheistic religion that is blends of Islam and Hinduism; Guru Nanak founded this religion in fifteen century. Sikhism has clear thought about remembering god all the time, equality between human kinds. Because Sikhism is a mixture religion, it has many similarities with Hinduism and Islam, and also it has many differences with them. Sikhism has bunch of similarities with Islam because it has influenced by Islamic rules. First, both believe in monotheistic god, which mean believe in one god.
Several Sikhs have even challenged the law in order to bring change to Canada and to make other citizens aware of the true beliefs of the religion. In essence, Canadian legal decisions have demonstrated inconsistencies as the courts seem to pick and choose when to accommodate Sikhs. This is evident through judicial decisions such as Multani v Commission
But then Sikhism began to be seen as a threat to the dominance of Islam. According to ‘Origins of Sikhism’, “Emperor Jahangir had the fifth Guru, Guru Arjan tortured to death for his faith in 1606”. This shows that the Dominant Religion's response to being challenged is violence. Instead of talking things out, they immediately turned to violence. In addition to that, the intolerance of Protestants in France is an example of the effects that Religious extremism has had on society.
Provide significant details about the author (120-1): Homer was probably from the Western Asia Minor, he might have been a rhapsody who performed for an audience. Style5 conventions (121) - Stock epithet- a way an author describes someone or something with a phrase or word Philosophies (Women)- He made most of his goddesses in his epics more powerful than the gods often.

In Hinduism this is more difficult because the people of lower caste are expected to follow their social
It seems as though all non-Christian religions experience discrimination in some capacity by American citizens. Freedom of religion is a part of the First Amendment to the Constitution, yet Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and even more typical religions such as Judaism, are looked down upon by Christians of all denominations for both religious reasons, and for cultural reasons related to their respective religions. Perhaps the most discriminated against religious group in America are the Sikhs, and it is for all the wrong reasons. In a post 9/11 America, Sikhs are all too often mistaken as members of the Muslim faith, of whom only a select few were to blame for the terrorist attacks of 2001. September 11th, 2001 can be considered the boiling point of Sikh discrimination, as it erased years of progress in terms of acceptance of the Sikh religion and its followers in America.
For example, the fasting practice of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) is widely different from Muslims. Mormons fasting once Sunday of every month and they is called “Fast Sunday,” the church members are provided the opportunity to feast together, sometimes for a unified purpose; other times it’s simply an opportunity to undertake a personal fast. Mormon families, including children ages eight and older, are encouraged to go without food and water for two consecutive meals in a 24-hour period and are encouraged to donate the money they would have spent on those meals to the poor and needy with what’s called a “Fast Offering.” Reason of this is Mormons believe it will help them prepare themselves and others to receive God’s blessing; therefore, can be spiritual strength and feel closer to the heavenly Father. This fasting is a practice that many Mormons participate in, both individually and collectively.
In comparison, Buddhism and Sikhism are religions that originated from Hinduism. The differences lie because Sikhism is monotheistic (single God) and Buddhism believes there is no God. Other differences lie in the teachings, practices, idol worshipping, religious laws, symbols and concept of God. Buddhism - Buddhism is the old religion around 624 B.C. - Buddhism talks about self-organization, they do not believe in the Creator. - Buddhism is a monastic community called as the Sangha.
