Let me explain how religion worksLet me explain the anomaly with Hindus.
Monotheistic cultures routinely ERADICATED polytheistic predecessors around the world, either through mass conversion or by going full "Cortez" on them as happened with the Aztecs.
The clowns representing Hindustan on this very thread are well aware that their faith exists by virtue of the mercy of monotheistic faiths, quite the anomaly in the subcontinent. One may even argue, had Cortez reached this godforsaken land before bin Qasim, there may not be any Hindus alive now to tell the tale.
Think about it: Egyptians, Greeks/Romans, Norse religions, Druidism in Britain, Babylonians, Assyrians, Aztecs...all gone, completely.
Their faith is literally alive in museums only.
Now you and I both know the elephant herders of the Ganges dodged this particular bullet. Why now should they somehow ride around as the sole outliers in the entire course of civilisational history, pushing their nonsensical agendas on the rest of us, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indian muslims alike?
The whole point of Jinnah's philosophy was to insulate us from their idiotic schemes the moment they seized some semblance of power. Pakistan owns their origin story, their ground zero. This irks them, hence they keep replying to me and others whenever the subject is discussed among Pakistanis. That you are unable to see the practical advantage of this situation is surprisingly short sighted.
Notwithstanding the above narrational, practical, tourism related and financial implications, that Pakistanis chose to evolve down the path of Islam while these people opted for brahminist enslavement should speak volumes in itself. We made better decisions than our eastern neighbours, and the value of that when dealing with these people in all forms of engagement should not be lost on you.
It is a tool for powerful to fool the commons to work for their objectives. It gives a random crowd reason to align to do something as a team and these reasons can be capturing a land, building a monument, following a set of rules, eating a type of food etc.
Now you are correct saying that Monotheistic approach is more efficient because it further eliminates the lines of differences (of different sub gods / practices / beliefs) and unites the society
But polytheist of monotheist both are completely bullshit, that was required at that time to unite uneducated, low IQ human but today we are 100% sure that all the books (Bible, Quran, Vedas are piece of crap)
They fall on the faces in creating theory, morality, science, the stories in them have been proven completely wrong with perfect evidences. Those books were created by common man of that time to fool people of that time
There was no ADAM, Earth was not created in few days, there is no proof of mosses, there was no flood of Noah, all Abrahamic religion are disproved with few facts. Today we can see how we evolved, how many floods, volcanic eruptions happened when and where, moon never broke in half
