This 30 pages booklet is available for free download here.
This project is inspired by 1) The Kerala Story movie, 2) discussion observed over past 15 years at Interfaithshaadi.org and 3) a personal request from Hindus in Bangladesh to help Hindus youths to properly handle hostile discussion in colleges.
Simple short answers to many questions are provided that a Hindu youth can answer them easily. This will also help even youths who are completely ignorant about Hindu scriptures and practices. We have kept the answers to 1-2 min length and have provided references for those who wish to learn more.
In a hostile discussion setting, generally, the other party’s interest is not to get educated about Hinduism but to find faults in it. Even after hours of explaining, the other party will not be satisfied. In such a situation, the best approach is to start with a defence strategy and to provide a simple and brief answer, and follow it up with an offensive strategy to ask similar and difficult questions back to the other party.
For now, only Questions-Answers (QAs) are provided that are useful for discussions between Hindu and Muslim youths but later, we will add QAs for other faiths later.
We do not have any intention to criticize any faith or practices but this information is provided only for a potential hostile situation or while getting engaged with proselytizers.
We expect several updates to this document. Ask for the latest version at InterfaithShaadi@gmail.com.
