Heathen historical sacrifices.

It is commonly stated that there was no sense of community among the ancient hindu/heathen. Of course, there was no category apart from the hindu/heathen; just as nature existed in diversity, so did the heathen. Only with advent of monotheism did the nexus or conspiratorial type of organization come into being, driven by an ideology- or belief-system based ontology. That is also precisely why there could not have been any type of nexus or conspiratorial organization, driven by ideology, and masterminded by a static class, in ancient bharata. A clear case of projection.

In consequence of their totality in ancient times, heathen evinced and pursued the ethical much more assiduously that the monotheists whose genocidal and de-culturing ways are signal.

Here we also encounter the claim the heathen were divided, while the monotheist united in purpose. The unity of the monotheists is prototyped in the tale of babel, unified by a unifying ideology based on some 'factor' (language, appearance, belief) while the heathen driven by the inexorable flow of karma. Were the heathen blind? Or simply as Swami Vivekananda stated, averse to pursuit of a totalitarian homogeneity if the path was through the suffering of innocents. perhaps they realized the connection between the abrahamist supremacist posture they saw, the deculturation/iconoclasm/surrender of the local/cultural it demanded, and the atrocities perpetrated. To us current heathen, the connection always been clear. As Swami Vivekananda said: we would rather suffer under extreme burdens than partake of independence at a cost to innocents (Paraphrase from Visuddhi films yt).
