This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Hinduism article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Now it's time to mention the new section, about which i was just talking to other user, named "abecedare", I was talking about adding a new section called "influence on other religions", same way Judaism's influence is highlighted on the page of Judaism. It would be a good idea? We can add like :-
"Hinduism has been notable for influencing religions, such as Bahá'í Faith, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, and others. Influence is also notable among the sects of Islam, such as Ahmadiyya."
Notable? Hmmm... Which religion is not notable for influencing other religions - or being influenced? I think Abecedare already commented on this. Mutual influences are a very complex topic - when you mention "influences", both ways should be mentioned. Otherwise we'll end up with WP:SYNTHESIS, WP:POV, and some sort of "hagiography". Buddhism and Jainism alone yet influenced Hinduism, more: their succes was a main factor in the transition from Brahmanism to the "Hindu synthesis". Any remark on this part should start with "One of the traditions which contributed to the emergence of Hinduism was the sramanic tradition, as exemplified by Buddhism and Jainism". And it's not just Hinduism influencing other religions, it's India being a millennium-long melting pot of cultures and religions. That's a basic fact to start with, I'm afraid. So I think it's a very complicated topic, which asks for a very carefull approach. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk!12:15, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Buddhist/jain influence was among the communities of Hindus, not certainly religion, for example, hindus won't change there scripture for buddhists, but reinvent there already made scriptures. That's how. Hinduism has been influential for the "creation" of other religions, it can be specified. Bladesmulti (talk) 12:31, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think you'll need very good sources. Anyway, I've thinking about it some more; I can think of three to five main "influences":
The emergence of Hinduism around the start of the CE, when the "Hindu synthesis" started to affect the whole Indian subcontinent;
The influence of Islam on Hinduism, and their mutual influence;
British colonialism, the influence of western culture on Hinduism (neo-Vedanta), the popularisation of neo-Vedanta's understanding of Hinduism in the west (Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Radhakrishnan, Gandhi), and the authority which this western influence gave to those representants and their interpretation in India;
"Pop"-Hinduism, such as Osho and popular Yoga - but this is not just 'Hindu influence on the west', it's a shared and mutual culture, just like neo-Vedanta.
