    Alot of Hindus are exclusivists. Historically there have been Hindus who denied even other Gods of Hinduism as non-existent. Bet you did not know that. Shaivites and Vaishnavites have been fighting with each other, sometimes physically, long before your abrahamic religions even came about. Just look at this forum itself. People disagree tooth and nail with each other at times, out of the belief that their doctrine offers the Truth more accurately.

    Thats not the reason why we reject abrahamic religions. The inclusivist rejecting the exclusivist is himself exclusive to the exclusivists.

    We deny mohammad because we find certain things he has done unacceptable and therefore find it hard to believe him a "prophet". We deny jesus because we find some of the things he said in the bible objectionable. We find the concept of salvation through the death and resurrection unacceptable and cheap. We deny abraham because we find his destruction of idols which is seen in abrahamism as the ultimate sign of enlightedness instead as spiritual intrusion. We disagree that his act is of profoundness because its equivalent to someone with spiritual knowledge physically beating someone without the same knowledge as him due to him lacking knowledge. If the point is to spread knowledge, there are more gracious methods. The whole point of a prophet is to teach people and let them arrive at realization by themselves and not use force in this regard and remove what you find is an incorrect practice that they do by yourself. We accept the grim order of things in this universe. But we find it morally unacceptable to venerate deities that sanction severe torture and destruction of innocents.

    Buddhists are exclusivist beyond any measure. We don't have a problem with them just because of that.

    Hindus arent used to such an exclusivist mindset which makes them hate everyone who does NOT follow the same path as they do towards the divine and rightfully find it abhorrent.
    Do you have problem constructing lucid sentences? Just asking.

    " Alot of Hindus are exclusivists "

    disagree with 'a lot of ' characterization. Not that Iam aware of.

    A miniscule insignificant part of hindu population has those intolerant denominational vasanas. Overwhelming majority believe in all sampradayas, by that I mean they dont denigrate others' sampradayas. They do respect those sampradayas they dont adher to.
    Once a hindu immerses in Bhakti and devotional life, spending lot of time in puja activity and all, then he/she adopts one or the other sampradayas. The rituals are deity specific and the branching off becomes inevitable. It is merely an act of immersion not exclusivism. Namaste

    Namaste,

    All this talk about why Hindus don't worship Jesus/Yahweh/Allah and reject the Abrahamic religons......

    How about because they are not true? Because they are completely made up? Because pretty much the entire Abrahamic worldview goes against our Dharmic worldview? Because their scriptures are entirely man-made and contradicts our scriptures which contain the eternal truths of the universe?......Besides, as Sahasranama said, this is completely irrelevant.

    Jai Sri Ram
    Sanatana Dharma ki Jai!
