U should google is Shiva mentioned in egyptian civilisation? Google
"Is shiva mentioned in the egyptian civilization"
You will find a quora page showing pictures of all ancient pagan gods...copied from each other..some connected some not. Scrol to the middle of the quora page. Like we have cow with all Gods n goddesses it in ..egypt too has a bull with their godd n goddesses in it. Theres also saraswati equivanent..Krishna is Hercules.his famous picture with many horses on a chariot I'd the same as Hercules on many horses. Greek Indo Roman Egyptisn Turkish civilisations are the oldest including sumerian..they pretty much roamed about...migrated or shared or copied stuff from each other...some invented their own wheel. Parshurama is a constellation etc
According to Veda Saaram, “Mruth shila dhathu darwadi moortha vishwamavidyaya klishyanthi thapasa moodha paraam shaanthim nayaanthithe”, means, “A fool who is worshipping an idol gathers nothing but pain and he never attains salvation”. Hinduism doesnt advocate idol worship..brahma Vishnu Mahesh were yogis who knew the vedas and attained samadhi...so people remember them..rama was king of Ayodhya n Krishna a prince of Mathura.. they learnt the vedas too...they were not divine but mukt jivis. both took samadhi... We need to be like them not worship them. .we need to adapt their good qualities.... please watch KNOW YOUR VEDAS UA-cam CHANNEL(search on youtube... KnowYourVEDAS) FOR MORE INFORMATION.. WE CANNOT PRAy TO HANUMAN TOO. THEY WERE SIDDH PEOPLE . THEY THEMSELVES PRAYED TO ONE MOST HIGH.

The Beauty of Hindu is that nobody can give you Commandments like Bible and Islam has..
There are many ways to Achieve Brahman/ Source of creation and all are allowed to flourish in their own way ..
In opposition to Christianity and Islam where there's only one Saviour and One God and if you ask questions and you try to worship other gods ull
Go into the Fire of Hell
Such harsh statements were never there in Hindu
{btw, infernalism is a doctrine that wasn't held by the early church fathers & has miserably corrupted Christianity! there's plenty of evidence in scripture & tradition for universal reconciliation to God - and in fact for harmony with other orthodox traditions e.g. Islam & Hinduism. however.. yeah, modern Christianity is pretty much a travesty.}
Don't Say it Harsh Brother.
Can you Have Multiple Spouses or How do you feel if your Spouse gone with someone else after doing so much for them.?
Can you Tolerate it.?
No Right! Simleary God also Feels:
Ezekiel 16:1-63 ESV
Again the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem (Current Time Whoever Believes in Him) her abominations, and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. And as for your birth, on the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born. “And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare. “When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, and you became mine. Then I bathed you with water and washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil. I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk. And I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour and honey and oil. You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. And your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord God. “But you trusted in your beauty and played the whore because of your renown and lavished your whorings on any passerby; your beauty became his. You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be. You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, and set my oil and my incense before them. Also my bread that I gave you-I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey-you set before them for a pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God. And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them? And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood. “And after all your wickedness (woe, woe to you! declares the Lord God), you built yourself a vaulted chamber and made yourself a lofty place in every square. At the head of every street you built your lofty place and made your beauty an abomination, offering yourself to any passerby and multiplying your whoring. You also played the whore with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, multiplying your whoring, to provoke me to anger. Behold, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you and diminished your allotted portion and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior. You played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied; yes, you played the whore with them, and still you were not satisfied. You multiplied your whoring also with the trading land of Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied. “How sick is your heart, declares the Lord God, because you did all these things, the deeds of a brazen prostitute, building your vaulted chamber at the head of every street, and making your lofty place in every square. Yet you were not like a prostitute, because you scorned payment. Adulterous wife, who receives strangers instead of her husband! Men give gifts to all prostitutes, but you gave your gifts to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from every side with your whorings. So you were different from other women in your whorings. No one solicited you to play the whore, and you gave payment, while no payment was given to you; therefore you were different. “Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them, therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. And I will judge you as women who commit adultery and shed blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy. And I will give you into their hands, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places. They shall strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels and leave you naked and bare. They shall bring up a crowd against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women. I will make you stop playing the whore, and you shall also give payment no more. So will I satisfy my wrath on you, and my jealousy shall depart from you. I will be calm and will no more be angry. Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things, therefore, behold, I have returned your deeds upon your head, declares the Lord God. Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations? “Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’ You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. And your elder sister is Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters. Not only did you walk in their ways and do according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed. Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have intervened on behalf of your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous. “I will restore their fortunes, both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in their midst, that you may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all that you have done, becoming a consolation to them. As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, and you and your daughters shall return to your former state. Was not your sister Sodom a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride, before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become an object of reproach for the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and for the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who despise you. You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the Lord. “For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant, yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you. I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”

According to:
Isaiah 65:1-16 ESV
I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that was not called by my name. I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices; a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks; who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels; who say, “Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.” These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all the day. Behold, it is written before me: “I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lap both your iniquities and your fathers’ iniquities together, says the Lord; because they made offerings on the mountains and insulted me on the hills, I will measure into their lap payment for their former deeds.” Thus says the Lord: “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say, ‘Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, and not destroy them all. I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and from Judah possessors of my mountains; my chosen shall possess it, and my servants shall dwell there. Sharon shall become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for my people who have sought me. But you who forsake the Lord, who forget my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you to the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter, because, when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen, but you did what was evil in my eyes and chose what I did not delight in.” Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry; behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty; behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame; behold, my servants shall sing for gladness of heart, but you shall cry out for pain of heart and shall wail for breaking of spirit. You shall leave your name to my chosen for a curse, and the Lord God will put you to death, but his servants he will call by another name, so that he who blesses himself in the land shall bless himself by the God of truth, and he who takes an oath in the land shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten and are hidden from my eyes.
And
"They lift it upon the shoulder and carry it;
They set it in its place and it stands there.
It does not move from its place.
Though one may cry to it, it cannot answer;
It cannot deliver him from his distress.
Isaiah 46:7
And
Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word. “He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog’s neck; he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig’s blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations; I also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.” Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you and cast you out for my name’s sake have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy’; but it is they who shall be put to shame. “The sound of an uproar from the city! A sound from the temple! The sound of the Lord, rendering recompense to his enemies!
Isaiah 66:1-6 ESV
And
Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
And
idolatry, in Judaism and Christianity, the worship of someone or something other than God as though it were God. The first of the biblical Ten Commandments prohibits idolatry: “You shall have no other gods before me.”
Several forms of idolatry have been distinguished. Gross, or overt, idolatry consists of explicit acts of reverence addressed to a person or an object-the sun, the king, an animal, a statue. This may exist alongside the acknowledgment of a supreme being; e.g., Israel worshiped the golden calf at the foot of Mount Sinai, where it had encamped to receive the Law and the covenant of the one true God.
Typically, we view the condemnation of idolatry simply as a rule mandated by the first commandment (in Exodus 20:3-6 and Deuteronomy 5:7-10). We may even go beyond the first commandment as a rule to understand that God rejects idolatry because He is a jealous god (Exodus 34:1)
For this, we can turn to Psalm 115:3-8:
Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.
On the one hand, the Psalm mocks idols: their eyes are sightless, their mouths silent, their ears unhearing, their hands unfeeling. It speaks of the foolishness of idolatry: in and of themselves, idols are powerless, inanimate, and inert.
But the Psalm also speaks of the tragedy of idolatry. The idol, created by human hands and itself lifeless, assumes power over those who create and worship it; as the Psalm expresses it, “Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.” The idol worshipper, who is made in the image of God, instead chooses to take on the image of, and to be controlled by, a lifeless idol. The idol’s creator thus becomes the victim of his own creation, which assumes power over him. Idolatry is sinful, then, not because it violates an arbitrary rule, but because it transforms an individual made in the image of God into the image of a lifeless idol that is itself the work of human hands. While still moving and breathing, the idolater is in fact dead, because the object of his worship is not alive and has remade him in its own image.
But Psalm 115 goes beyond describing why idolatry is so sinful to recognizing the tendency toward idolatry among the people of God. Along with contrasting the foolishness of the pagan nations with the Israelites, with their belief in the one true God, the Psalm admonishes the people of God - Israel, the house of Aaron, and “you who fear the Lord” -- to trust in the Lord (Psalm 115:9-11) and notes that the dead - implicitly, those who have chosen to worship idols instead of the living God - “do not praise the Lord” (Psalm 115:17). It closes with a call “from this time forth” to worship God (Psalm 115:18), which implies a turning away from past idolatry.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

It's quite interesting how you mentioned freedom struggle from British but not from Arabs, Turks and Mongols? Also, we also take exception to the fact where you separate without evidence Arya-Dravidian, or Baudha Sikh from Hindus.
Do you separate Athens from Sparata while studying Greeks? Well there you go, too much money wasted
i guess it has been two years since you've commented this, but can you please explain what you meant by your comment. i do not a understand a word of it (uwu)
Do they believe in heaven and hell?
Yes some sects believe and majority don't
Yes but they are not permanent they depends on your Karma.
But not as like Abrahmic religion as we are thriving to go there and live rest if life there.its very different concept then Abrahmic one.
Thank you for your question
