Inclusive Hinduism

I come from south India , which has images of plurality very different from other parts of India. I am a Brahmin by birth. And I am brought up in a home where vegetarianism is in practice. And i continued to be a vegetarian by choice as i grew up.
My exposure ( thanks to TVS school, ) on subaltern studies which challenges the popular narration of the Indian past ,has evoked a lot of interest in me to observe the present with an open mind. As I came to Nepal, I was curious to see the only (erstwhile)Hindu kingdom .I was also wondering how could Hinduism be seen in everyday Nepal life! I must say what hit my eyes were shocking. Yes, the meat selling shops! Don’t mistake me, I know that there are more non vegetarians in my own town. But I hardly see meat being sold on main streets! But here in Nepal the fruit or the vegetable shops had a butcher next door!This is very rare in India. What does it tell me? Some where in the process of progress, meat shops were put out of sight, as the Brahmins turned vegetarians. The fact that this change in eating practice came after Buddhism is not known to many. Fearing that the vedic culture could disappear, the Brahmins had to incorporate the ideas of Ahimsa of Buddha ( a process of reformation?)and hence started eating less and less meat which over time became a rigid practice. But why didn’t any thing change in Nepal even after Adi Shankara came and displaced Buddhism in these parts ?( now his priests are being replaced!)But I see Hinduism more inclusive one as it hasn’t become as rigid as I see it in my part of the world. The abundant meat selling shops and the practice of offering meat to god during festival times gives a glimpse as to how everything could have been in the past. In the Gadimai fair ( very close to Birgunj)that happens once in five years s, animals like goats , rats, buffalo calves etc are sacrificed in thousands even to this day!! Public opinion is now being aroused to stop this. But it will take some time!
The past has continued with little change here , thanks to the closed foreign policy of the kingship until recently. It is interesting to see the different definitions of Hinduism and plurality of this system is now under threat by people in power. The process of exclusion leads to greater conflicts in the long run, as the coming together of people is only superficial and some how or some where humans have repeatedly shown loyalty to their clan !
