Wouldnt it make sense to expand the definition and coverage of hinduism rather then each sect (vaishnavism, shaivism, shaktism etc) coming out with its own defense of their coverage ? What is to be achieved with such silo constructions and how does it help ? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Rajesh,
You are absolutely correct. Vaishnavas and anyone else who feel that the popular Hindu representation is too much Advaita-oriented should educate the public about their points of view instead of Vivekananda and Advaita bashing.
