Infobx religion - again

[edit]

@Torotorobaaiji: this infobox has beendiscussed, and rejected, several times before. You're suggestion diff that Hinduism originated during the Vedic period, or that Buddism and Jainism split-off from Hinduis, don't make it much better either; rather, they betray a lack of knowledge of the history of Hinduism, and a lack of knowledge of the contents of this Wikipedia-article.

Can I add these information wit reliable and trusted citations? Torotorobaaiji (talk) 10:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. Please read through the talkpage, and it's most recent archive. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 10:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image for lead

[edit]

The articles for Christianity and Islam have images in the lead sections so can we get one here too? Moodgenerator (talk) 04:03, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone has an image they feel would be better, they can add it, however I was thinking about maybe adding one of the images seen below:

The deities are sect-specific, and not representative of allof Hinduism; the djivali-picture is not distinctively recognizable as a representation of Hinduism. Maybe the Aum-symbol would be good, but that's already featured in the navbox. Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 03:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moodgenerator, all of these images could work, but I think images of Ganesha would be most appropriate. In addition to the image of Ganesha above here is another option. Hemmingweigh (talk) 10:03, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lede image is not necessary for this article. Other Dharmic religions' articles such as Buddhism and Jainism also don't use lede image. As one image does not represent all of the religion as it has sects that do not believe in such idols and their worship. It only represents a section and is not representative of all followers and a general perception of the religion. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 06:08, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Indian Religion"

[edit]

Hi, Just wanted to know, is the term "Indian Religion" more appropriate than the term "Religion that originated in India / Indian Subcontinent"?

Thank you. 103.170.140.14 (talk) 10:23, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What part of the article are you referring to? Remsense ‥ 论 11:03, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hinduism also known as Hindu Dharma

[edit]

There are some articles on Wikipedia which states "Hinduism, also known as Hindu Dharma". Many sources also refer Hinduism as Hindu Dharma. So, the lede sentence should be - Hinduism (/ˈhɪnduˌɪzəm/), also known as Hindu Dharma, is an Indian religion or dharma, a religious and universal order by which its followers abide.

Thoughts? AimanAbir18plus (talk) 06:04, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources? Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:58, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, yes, quite a lot Google "Hindu dharma". Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 07:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AimanAbir18plus: the WP:LEAD summarizes the article; "Hindu dharma" is not explained in the article. It's therefor not clear how Hinduism is "also known" as "Hindu dharma." Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 12:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hindu Dharma is a term for Hinduism. See the articles of other Dharmic religions like Buddhism and Jainism. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 13:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dharma is Dharma. It is not limited to any one religion or philosophical system. Dharma is the universal principle that governs ethical, moral, and cosmic order. For example, in the Bhagavad Gita, Dharma is described as the duty that arises from one’s nature and role in the cosmic scheme, beyond sectarian labels. Dharma is inherently Sanatana (without beginning and without end). Any sectarian prefix before Dharma—be it Hindu, Buddhist, or Jain—is redundant and reflects nothing more than a poor and superficial understanding, as well as intellectual dishonesty. Dharma refers to the natural law, the principle of righteousness and duty that sustains life and the universe. You cannot change natural law, even if your path to truth, harmony, and liberation is different. Dharma should not be conflated with religion. If someone uses "Hindu Dharma" in the lede, ensure that the body clarifies that "Hindu Dharma" here specifically refers to Hindu religion, which is more focused on the realization of Brahman as the preferred path.

I am exactly talking about this. Dharma (virtue) is a key concept in Indian religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. But all of this religions also specifically known as Hindu Dharma, Buddha Dharma and Jain Dharma. So, Hindu Dharma refers to Hinduism and Dharma refers to the key concept in Indian religions. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 13:25, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like it's being used here to differentiate Hindu paths to realization from other paths. But still, I would refrain from sectarian labels. However, I agree that for most people, Dharma means religion or a religious way. So, I don't know what to do here. DangalOh (talk) 13:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@AimanAbir18plus I see your point, and it does make sense to include it in the lead since it seems from that google books search, scholars are using it to describe Hinduism. But as Joshua has mentioned, not much explained in the article - so, might be helpful to add more details. Asteramellus (talk) 14:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
