Indian sampradayas have to institutionalise their knowledge and boil it down to essentials for transmission and proselytisation if they are to compete with the major Abrahamic sects.
Racism is a problem for privileged mainlanders only when it's meted out to them abroad. In their own backyard, it's normalised as 'I was just kidding. Chill yaar'.

Unlike the unified structure of Abrahamic faiths, Hinduism operates as a loose, diverse collective. Its fundamental internal crisis is the deeply entrenched, discriminatory Varna and Caste system. This is not an equal conflict between sects (like Sunni vs. Shia) but a structural, hierarchical practice of internal discrimination. The challenge to evolve is immense because the caste system is tragically foundational to current Hindu identity, making it extraordinarily difficult to dismantle. Yet, for Hinduism to stand relevant and attract people in a rapidly developing, egalitarian world, it must let go of this inequality. Charity begins at home; internal reform is the prerequisite for its future vitality.
