Consciousness is truth which is the opposite of dogma.
Is true that not all Hindus believe in such a dreadful dogmas these days but considering that the pillar of Hinduism is based on dogma why then these Hinduists that don't believe in these dogma stick with Hinduism?
I never met an Hindu that doesn't believe in these dogmas but as you say there may be some around.
But let me know if you come up with someone and someone who profess Hinduism and at the same time reject these dogmas.
If such a people exist they surely would denounce those Hindus that believe in dogmas but i never heard
of anyone who act in this way.
Mohandas Gandhi spoke out against the dogma of untouchability.
Gandhi was a very strange person.
I don't really think he was a dedicated Hindu at all.
As far as fighting for the Indian indipendence he was a loser.
Without the real fight from people with real guns India would have taken longer to get rid of the British rule.
Here some funny stories about Mr loser.
